A Encounter with the Unknown

When I got ready after dressing and came to the party, I saw the lights flashing, the sound of DJs, the scent of flowers, and the sound of the collision between two glasses of drinks flooding the house. But I had another experience in life that happened after this party. Since I was new to the city I didn't know anyone in the city so I was feeling alone at the party. But at that time someone called me from behind! Let's see! He was Dev! He looked pretty good that day. He was wearing a red jacket with a white T-shirt and blue jeans. But the strangest thing was that the girl was with him! With her was Tanushree, the Tanushree in my class who considers herself the most beautiful woman in college and insults everyone with her pride in her father's wealth. So I had a bad impression of her. But this time I saw someone who made me happy again.

I saw a girl dancing with her mind open in front of the DJ. Yes, that was my friend Trisha. She saw me and came forward to welcome me. However, she was a little dizzy when she spoke. The strong smell of alcohol was coming out of her mouth while she was talking. I quickly pulled her into the corner and said, "Hey, what are you doing! Uncle and aunt are there, what if they find out you at this condition?"

"Hey, they will not understand. I just drank a little," said Trisha. Then she moved away from me again and started dancing to the tune of the DJ. I stood alone at the party, necessarily exhausted. Since I was inside the house for a long time, it was as if I was holding my breath at the noise and the crowd. So I wanted to relax in the fresh air outside. But I was not ready for what happened this time.

Tanushree came and started talking to me, "What Tia! Where are you going! Are not you a very good friend of her? But she left you! You are alone now!"

At first, I tried to ignore her words, but Tanushree did not stop insulting me. "Girls like you have grown up in that dirty dustbin or orphanage, their place in the dustbin, not at the party of this bright rich mansion in town," she said.

I burst out in anger, rage, and sadness. The dreamy moments of my joyful heart seemed to break in an instant and turned into a piece of watery glass in the corner of my eye.

I left the party unable to control my grief. At first, I thought I would say Trisha, but I don't know if I could talk to Trisha in this state of mind then. Anyway, I got out of Sahu Mansion and started walking towards the college. Since Phulbari was a hilly and rugged city, it was always surrounded by dark jungles and fog. On top of that in the evening, it seemed to darken and create a wall between enlightenment and nature like an invisible armour. College Road from Trisha's house, I couldn't find it. At first, I was right, but in the end, I got lost in the maze of this road.

Finding no way out of the hazy dark road, I mistakenly entered the forest. The big trees of the forest, the soft sound of animals and the murmur of the river beside me attracted my mind. I don't know how much sorrow people had when they got lost in this way. But what I saw that day in the jungle changed my life. There are many unknown secrets hidden behind the civilized society of this world! We do not know when or how they would unfold before us. That night I came to know such a truth.

We knew the names of many characters in many stories. One such familiar name was a vampire. However, I did not realize beforehand how much this horror was involved in my life. The connection of this story with me was that it was many centuries old and this story about me started long ago and was written in the pages of history.

I had said before that a river flows through the middle of the city. As I was walking through the jungle, I came across a river. However, I did not understand when I came to the side of a ditch while walking along the bank of the river. Everything is covered with a thick sheet of fog all around. I couldn't see what was in front of me or next to me. But I thought I would reach the college if I walked along the river. Because the college was right next to the river. So I heard the sound of the river and looked along the river bank. As a result of that, a danger came across me, the jar resulted in the revelation of many unknown truths.

As I was crossing the river, I came to the edge of the river. Which caused me to fall into the river. Somehow I got up from the river but at night my body almost fell tired of falling into the cold river water. I was having a hard time walking. At that moment I stumbled on a rock and got hit at my leg. My ankle was cut a little and blood started to flow from there. I walked with great difficulty. But every step I took seemed to come with a lot of difficulties. But I can't stand here. I had to get to college. Determining the path on this foggy night became more difficult than I thought earlier.

At that time I saw a horrible shadow behind the trees. His body was a bit like a wolf and his shape was human. Even after so many years of my life, I had never seen anything like it. His eyes were burning. It's like a spark of fire. It looks as if it was ready to chew the prey alive. His body was covered with a sheet of black fur. His shining greedy gaze was directed at me. A lot of fear originated in my mind. At that moment the shadow came rushing towards me. I desperately ran to save my life. But the speed of the creature seemed to be much faster than mine. Still, I tried my best to escape. I stumbled on many rocks, and my legs were cut off somewhere but I did not stop. In this way, I reached the side of the old bridge of the river. On that side of the river, the minaret of the old palace could be seen out of the forest. I somehow came to the side of the bridge. And I tried to cross the river over the bridge. In front, of a dense forest it seemed to have made the vast area invisible by matching its wings. Accompanying him was his sister Fog, who had created a hazy atmosphere under her white screen.

But this time that strange thing happened. As I climbed the bridge, that creature suddenly stopped following me, looking strange. It was as if an invisible force were preventing it from climbing the bridge. And after screaming for a while it left and got lost in this darkness. My body was wounded all around. Walking so far on it, I felt as if I was fainting. I came to the bridge and saw the old manor house.

Behind a huge gate stand a huge fort. As if was waiting for a great time, counting the days quietly. It was as if one of the messengers of destruction was practising this ancient history with its red and black flame. I was new to Phulbari, but yet everything in this city seemed to be familiar to me. These rivers, forests, and bridges are all like I had seen before. But I did not understand when I saw it. Anyway, I came to the side of the old Zamindar's house with great difficulty to save myself from the animals that looked like that strange wolf. But when I was walking on that bridge, I felt like I had walked on this bridge before. Coming in front of the palace again, I thought I had a close relationship with this house, but I did not know how!

I was standing in front of the gate of the old Zamindar's house wondering what to do next. I would not go back to the bridge, I would wait till morning to cut this darkness. But I did not know then that I have some more strange experiences left today!
