Chp 1: Dream Villa the haunted house

Hi, I am Aarohi, the wife of the famous singer Deep Raj Singh, it has been five years since we're married. I am twenty five years old and he's twenty six years old. We met in our college life, the first time I saw him, I went gaga over him. It was love at first sight. Deep too loved me but he was shy at that time, however he gathered courage to propose me, our parents had a talk over our marriage, the alliance was fixed, and we got married. Well, I am lucky that my first love lasted.

"Aarohi, towel", Deep called out from the washroom. "Yes I am coming", I said and took the towel and gave it to him, he pulled me inside and I closed my eyes. "Deep, not now, I haven't packed our bags yet, we have to board the train, remember?", I said keeping my hands over my eyes. He moved away my hands and I saw him smiling mischievously. "Ok but I want a kiss", he said like a baby and I didn't react. He pleaded with his eyes.

"Here you go", I said and kissed him on cheek and went out, I could hear him laughing as I went out. I sat on the bed and started packing our things. "Aarohi, I forgot my shirt", he said and I quickly gave him the shirt and went before he could pull me. Soon I was done with packing and I felt arms wrapped around me. "So wifey, you're smart, you understood my mischief?", said Deep holding me from back. "Who knows you better than me?", I asked and he kissed my temple.

After two hours, I was at the railway station with my mother in law Roma and father in law Raghav. We waited for the announcement and finally it was announced and we went inside the train. I sat with Deep on one seat and uncle and aunty sat in front of us. We entwined our hands as the train started moving. I looked at Deep and smiled. He leaned for a kiss and I signed no as our daughter and uncle and aunty and others were there.

Oh did I mention about my daughter? Her name is Deepika, the cutest girl of the world. She was sitting in Aunty's lap looking at us and was giggling on Deep as he acts all childish. We reached and got down the train and hired a cab. We had made reservations in a hotel for the night. By the way, we have shifted to Manali, the coldest place ever. So we went to the hotel, one room for me, Deep and Deepika and the other one for uncle and aunty.

For a night, we stayed at hotel and next day we bought a villa for the five of us. It was named as Dream Villa. We sat in the cab, uncle in front and me, aunty, Deepika and Deep at the backseat. The driver dropped us a little far. "I can't drop you till there, that house is haunted", said the driver and my heart skipped a beat. "There's no thing like ghosts, here, keep this money", said uncle and we got down the cab and walked to our new house which was a short distance away. Uncle unlocked the door and we entered inside. The villa was really big with five rooms out of which three rooms were locked. I wonder why they were locked? Was the driver right about the house? "The room upstairs is of you, Aarohi and Deepika and ours is the one downstairs", said aunty to Deep. 

"What about the other three?", asked Deepika. "They're locked, we should start unpacking now", said uncle and we retired to our rooms. We were done unpacking after three hours and we all slept as we were tired. When I woke up, I heard Deepika talk to someone in our room. "Deepu, come to mumma", I said. "Coming", she said and came to me standing up, she was at Deep's side of bed. "To who were you talking?", I asked. "With Tara aunty", she replied. "Who Tara aunty?", I asked. "Mumma, the girl who crawled out from under the bed when I was playing with my toys, and she looked just like you", she said making me shocked.

Chp 2: Hallucinations Or Reality?

Who Tara aunty?", I asked Deepika. "Mumma, the girl who crawled out of the bed when I was playing with my toys, she looked just like you mumma", said Deepika smilingly. I was shocked. Is she imagining things? Is she hallucinating? Is the house really haunted? These questions kept rising in my head. I sat up. "Is she still there?", I said, don't know what came over me that I asked her this. "I don't know, but if you sit with me, then she will come out", she said and held my hand. "Come I will introduce you to my new friend."

Before I could say something, she pulled with holding my hand taking me to Deep's side of bed. I sat down beside her. I stared at the space beneath the bed praying nothing is there, I was scared. "Mumma, look she came, she's sitting in front of us", said Deepika and I slowly looked up. There was no one. "Who are you talking about Deepu?", I asked. "Don't joke, she's sitting right there", she said pointing in front of her. But there was no one, what is she talking about? "Mumma, I want to play with my new friend Tara aunty", said Deepika. "Can you bring some more toys for me please?"

I nodded and stood up going to cupboard looking at her again and again. She was saying things, as if there is really someone in front of her. I took out her toys and gave it to her. I stepped on the toy car beside my feet unknowingly and fell on my back. "Aahh", I screamed and stared at Deepika. Deep woke up. I quickly went to Deepika and lifted her off the ground in my arms and took her to bed. "What happened mumma? Let me play", she said trying to get off the bed. "Stop, promise me you won't talk to any stranger?", I said forwarding my hand.

"But why mumma? She's my friend", she protested. "Promise me?", I repeated. She frowned but then promised me. "Good girl, OK now go downstairs I will come and give you something to eat", I said kissing her and she went. I went to the side where Deepika was sitting. The toy car moved towards me on its own. I was terrified. 'Aarohi, you OK? Is it paining?' He asked and I nodded in negative. I must be seeing things, never mind. I put all the toys back and was going when he pulled me and I turned to see his brown eyes staring at me. 

He was sitting up and made me sit beside him and pulled me in a hug. "It's good you woke up," I said hugging him back. "Aww missing me?", he asked. "Yes", I said. He broke the hug and cupped my cheeks. "Now tell why were you terrified?", he asked and I laughed pretending I saw nothing. "It was just a lizard", I said and he laughed. "Lizard? It seemed as if you saw a ghost", he laughed even more. "You look cute", I said. "You too", he replied. "Now let's go down, I m hungry."

We went downstairs hand in hand and sat beside each other. First Deep then me then Deepika then uncle then aunty. I served everyone and ate without talking. When I was done eating, I went to the library in the room and it was very beautiful. I thought to clean it as it was dusty. I cleaned everything and saw a piano, I cleaned it as well and played it. I didn't knew I can play so well. Then I stood up and went out of there.

Later that day, uncle was gone to office and aunty and I were busy in chores. When it were all done, I went to my room and saw Deepika scribbling something in a diary. "Deepu", I called. "Yes mumma", she replied while writing. "Sleep early, we are going for your admission tomorrow morning", I said. "Ok mumma", she replied in her sweet voice and I kissed her and sat on the bed.

Soon night approached, I was making the bed when I felt someone else in the room besides me. I looked around, there was no one. I continued with my work and my gaze shifted on the diary in which Deepika was writing something. I thought to read it, no no, it might be a private diary, but I m her mother, and a daughter's best friend is mother, I should read it. I turned to the first page, others were empty. There was written, 'I got a new friend today, Tara aunty, she's just like mumma, I even made mumma meet her but she couldn't see him, she was scared but don't know why. She said not to talk to any stranger, I agreed, maybe she is right, but I will have to play with her secretly." What is all this? Tara and all? How did she crawl out of bed? How did the toy came towards me on it's own and how she could see her but I couldn't? I will have to find out the truth.

Chp 3: Horror And Secrets

Deep and Deepika were sleeping on my right while I was laying on my back staring at the ceiling. I tossed left and right on the bed, I wasn't getting sleep. How to know about Tara and her secret? Yes, the three locked rooms, I will have to unlock them tomorrow and find out what's the truth. I turned to my right and kept my arm around Deepika and heard a soft music play, don't know why but I felt attracted towards it . I covered myself in bed sheet trying to sleep but couldn't. Who's playing piano at this hour? No one knows how to play it.

I sat up and removed the bedsheet above me and slowly got up. I went towards library as the piano was there only. With slow steps, I approached the door of library. I twisted the knob to left, it didn't open, I twisted to right, again it didn't open. I kept twisting it left and right putting whole force on it pushing the door from the shoulders and suddenly it opened and I fell inside the library on my stomach. "Ow!", I screamed. Now the music was a little louder, but wasn't deafening. I stood up on my feet and looked around, I went towards the direction of piano and saw a girl about my height with her back towards me.

"Who are you?", I asked, no answer came and I got some blurry flashbacks as if this music has something to do with me. In the flashbacks I saw two girls sitting and playing the same music. I went towards the girl and tapped on her shoulder, I wished I shouldn't have done it. She turned and I jumped as she put an arm around me and pulled me towards her making me stand beside her which aroused me to play the music, don't know why but her touch somehow made me nostalgic, I was confused. I played the music with her but suddenly it hit me, who is she and why am I near her? 'Tara,' I said remembering Deepika's story. She turned her face to me and I startled as her eyes were fully white, no black at all. I screamed at the top of my lungs and ran from there but fell in between when I was half way out, she held me back and I was terrified by her cold touch. I stood up quickly with the music still playing and I quickly ran out locking the door of the library.

"Aarohi, what happened? Why were you playing the piano at this hour?", asked Deep making me startle. "I wasn't, look its still playing, it was a white eyed girl", I said panting heavily. "Relax, relax, it's not playing now, come, sleep", he said and took me to my room while I continued pointing at the door getting scared. "It's nothing".

He laid me down and closed my eyes with his palm and laid down beside Deepika while I slowly drifted to sleep trying to forget what I saw. The alarm rang and I woke up switching it off. My body was shaking and I felt weak. I woke up Deepika and Deep. They woke up. "If you are not feeling well then stay at home, I will take Deepika", he said. "No I will come along", I insisted. "No, you're not coming", he said palming my mouth and Deepika giggled. "Awww hahaha", she laughed teasing us. I blushed.

"Ok m staying", I said and laid down, sleep took over me again. I woke up at 11:00 am and looked around the room, Deepika was sitting on the study table scribbling something in her diary, did she again saw Tara? I got up. "Deepika", I called. "Hmm?", she asked. "Did you got admission?", I asked. "Yes mumma, the school is very good, papa went to office interview after dropping me home", she said still writing.

"Congratulations, my baby", I said and kissed her hair. She hugged me and I went downstairs and made myself breakfast then made chocolate milkshake and fudge cupcakes for Deepika as a treat to her. It took thirty minutes and I went upstairs to call her downstairs, as I went at the entrance of the room, I saw her looking under the bed, then in the cupboard, I stood behind her and called her name. She immediately looked back. "What are you doing Deepa? What are you finding?", I asked her, I always call her Deepa by love.

"My slippers", she said not meeting her eyes with me, I knew she was talking to Tara. I don't even know if she exists or it's just her imagination. "Go downstairs, I made your favorite cupcakes and milkshake for my cute doll", I said pulling her cheeks. "Really? Thank you mumma", she hugged me and went downstairs. I really wanted to give her a treat, I didn't only wanted to distract her, she's my daughter after all, I can do anything to make her happy and to protect her. I took all the room keys and counted them, it were five, that includes the locked rooms as well. I firstly read Deepika's diary to know if she again saw her. There was nothing inside, just a drawing of me, Deep, her and Tara. Wow, my daughter is surely an artist but why is Tara here? Now I know she exists because I also saw her yesterday near piano.

I went to the the first locked room next to our room, I tried all the keys inside and finally it opened. I ran my hand on the wall, it touched the switchboard and I switched on the light. There were two single beds inside, there was a name written on each of them. One read "Aalisha Raichand" and the other read "Tara Raichand". So that means Tara really exists. I went to one of the cupboards, inside was clothes, a photo album and a diary. I took the diary and turned to first page, there was the picture of that white eyed girl I saw in library but there were two of her? No silly, she had a twin. Below the photograph was written Tara Raichand. I kept flipping pages and read every page.

'Today was the third day of school, I study in Bombay Model School, I became friends with a boy named Mayank and he's damn cute.'

And many more diary entries were there, then I came to a page where there was a picture of a man. I was shocked.

Revealing Tara's secret in this chapter, few chapters after this chapter will contain flashbacks so no horror for some days. Enjoy.

Chp 4: Diary, Photographs And Much More

I skipped many diary entries but then I came to a page where there was a picture of a couple. I was shocked. The girl was Tara and the boy looked exactly like Deep, I read further to know the whole matter.It read 'I and Mayank make a very great bond, it's just four days and we've become partners in crime, mischief everything, we even sit together in our class, he's really adorable, always smiling, making others smile, friendly with everyone, never rude, have cute expressions, he is the man of who i could only think of and read in novels about men like him, this week is dance competition and we're partners in dance also, the practice is going awesome'.

Then I skipped some of the diary entries as it had nothing to do with Mayank, then again a page came where there was something written about her. It said 'My twin sister Aalisha is always trying to steal my friends from me, why is she doing that to me? She's my sister for God's sake, I am slowly losing all my friends, I feel so alone, only Mayank talks to me, Aalisha says nonsense stuff that he dislikes me and likes her, from where did this topic come of liking and all, we are too young for that.'

Then the last diary entry said 'It's been two weeks since I and Mayank are friends, Aalisha said that he loves her and not me, God knows what she was wanting, I saw them together today and she was teasing him, I went to them and they reacted as if a big secret is going on, I got embarrassed and went, today was my birthday, no it was our birthday, mine and Aalisha's, and my mood was ruined by my own sister but when he gave me a gift, my mood became better. It was a necklace of mine and Aalisha photo. Its not that I don't love Aalisha, but I was irritated by her behavior but everything got fine after cutting the cake together, I showed her my gift and she showed me hers, I boiled in anger seeing that she got same necklace as mine but the only difference was that it had her and Mayank's photo, this means that he really loves her, but no, I will get him for sure .'

I put the diary back and went through the photo album. There was a cute picture of Aalisha and Tara in which Tara was smiling while Aalisha was sitting with a cute expression. Then there was a dancing picture of Aalisha and her and then Mayank's photo and Tara's photo together, maybe she got crush on her, then a picture in which they were standing together smiling, in one photo there was only Tara dressed as a princess, then in one photo they were smiling broadly. Last two photos had Tara and Aalisha posed as dancing and the very last pic, she was dressed in a maxi. There was one more photograph, it was a little girl who was a look alike of Deepika, she was standing between Tara and Deep, now I understand why she is visible to her only, because Tara had a daughter who was look alike of my daughter, and I felt forced to play piano with her and got attracted to the soft music because I m a look alike of her twin. Strange right?Deep is also a look alike of Mayank.

I smiled a little then kept back both the things inside and my gaze went on a necklace, it had Aalisha's and Mayank's picture. I think they had innocent love between them but never realized it. I was about to go then I heard some noises from the room.

"Aalisha, you won't meet him, he likes me more than you."

"This is not the truth Tara, she likes us equally as friends, why are you being like this?"

"Oh please accept it you are in love."

"Shut up!"

"Are you scared?"

"Fine I love him, and he too loves me, he has better bonding with me."

"I will make sure he only has that special bonding with me."

"Aaahhh, stop Tara get off me...aaahhh" *something breaks* "ouch!"

I quickly went out and locked the door behind me. I went to my room and saw Deepika playing with her toys sitting at Deep's side of bed smiling, I don't have a problem if she's happy, but that girl looked evil yesterday in library. But dont know if it was hallucination or reality, I will have to find more about the sisters and Deep and Deepika too, now I will have to go to Bombay Model School to know further.

Where is her daughter now? Maybe she can tell me more about them, or maybe her parents can tell me more, I will find them too. At evening, Deep came and Deepika was fast asleep.I thought to share all this with him. Firstly I gave him dinner then I narrated everything to him, he was blank, he said I should take rest. Why ain't he believing me?

I was again tossing left and right on the bed, Deep was also asleep now. What happened next was both expected and unexpected too. The soft music played again. No ways I am going in there again, I stuffed cotton in my ears and slept. I woke up in the midnight and saw Tara standing near me. "Why are you trying to take away my Deepta from me? Please let her play with me, she's my daughter", she said. "Who are you?", I asked. "Tara, I saw you that day but you didn't see me, that's because I didn't wanted you to see me", he said. I sat up and my hand reached to touch her and it did, she was as cold as an ice. "Tara, how do I look just like you? How does my daughter looks like your daughter and moreover, how does Deep look like Mayank?" I asked curiously. "That's because you were Aalisha in your past life, I was your twin, Deep was Mayank, my husband," she told me. "Are you here for your revenge?" I asked. "No, why will I take revenge from such a sister who gave me her identity and sacrificed her love for me? For Mayank, I was Aalisha and Aalisha was Tara, I was mentally unstable and so you got me married to him to make me fine," she told me and I was shocked.
