The doorbell of Vijay's house rings.
When Vijay opens the door, he sees Vinay standing there.
"Vinay? You here?"
"Yes, me. Tell me something—I've been calling you for the last two hours. Why didn't you pick up my calls? And what kind of recording did you send me?"
"In that video, someone wearing a mask was cutting a dead body into pieces. Do you have any idea? I've vomited five times after watching it!"
"What was the meaning of sending such a disgusting video? I feel like cutting you into pieces instead!"
"What are you even saying? Why would I send you such nonsense? I didn't send you any video. And apart from Ravi, I didn't receive any calls. So how could I answer yours?"
"So you're saying you didn't send the video, and I'm lying about calling you like a madman?"
"Yes, exactly."
"Fine. Give me your phone. I'll show you how many times I called you—and that you sent me that video."
"Here, take it."
Vinay checked Vijay's call history, but there were no calls made to him. There was also no proof of any video being sent.
"Well? Satisfied now? Found anything?"
"But how is this possible?! Look, the video was sent from your number!"
Vinay handed his phone to show the video. But the moment Vijay took it, the video disappeared on its own.
"Where's the video? I can't see anything."
"Tell me honestly, why are you doing this?"
"It was just here! You deleted it, didn't you?"
"Why would I delete it?"
Vinay was completely confused.
After a moment of silence, he asked,
"Are you going somewhere?"
"Yes, I'm going to Mussoorie with Alka for two weeks. Ravi must have told you."
"Yes, he mentioned it."
"Alright, you do your packing. I'll find out who's playing this sick prank on all of us."
"On all of us?!"
"Yes. Didn't you get that note and call? Ravi told me everything."
"Okay. By the time you come back, I'll find that person and keep a 'gift' ready for you."
"Okay, bye."
Vinay leaves.
The next day, Vijay leaves for Mussoorie with Alka in his car.
On the way, they see an old-looking hotel. Though it looked ancient, it was beautifully decorated. Since it was getting late, they decided to stay there for the night.
"Alka, I think this place is good for tonight."
"Yes, you're right. Even I think this place is perfect… for my work."
After saying this, they went inside.
There were only four staff members in the hotel.
"Hello sir, hello ma'am. How may we help you?"
"We need two rooms for tonight."
"Of course, ma'am. Please come, I'll show you your rooms."
A staff member showed them their rooms and left after thanking them.
After having dinner, both went to their respective rooms and slept.
At 3 AM…
Vijay suddenly hears the sound of footsteps.
At first, he tries to ignore it. But slowly, the sound grows louder… as if someone is walking around his bed wearing boots.
Terrified, Vijay closes his eyes, covers himself with a blanket, and starts chanting every prayer he can remember.
But when the sound becomes unbearable, he suddenly throws off the blanket and shouts,
"Who's there?! Who is walking around at this hour?!"
Suddenly, the sound stops.
Somehow, he tries to sleep again.
But then he hears someone chanting loudly… strange mantras.
Hearing those chants, his heart starts pounding rapidly.
Sweat drips down his face.
His throat goes dry with fear.
Every hair on his body stands up.
A cold wave runs through his entire body.
He sits frozen on the bed, terrified.
Until 4 AM, he keeps hearing those sounds and cannot sleep at all.
Then suddenly, everything becomes silent.
At exactly 4 AM, someone knocks on his door.
Gathering all his courage, Vijay walks to the door and opens it.
Alka is standing outside.
Seeing him so frightened, she asks,
"What happened, Vijay? Why are you so scared? Is everything okay?"
Vijay says nothing. He quickly hugs Alka tightly.
For a moment, Alka gently pats his back and strokes his head…
…and then a faint, creepy smile appears on her face.
