asked.
"Yes they are, don't care about that but just don't forget to call each other with fake names"Goku again reminded us.
"Yes ,it's ok how many times will you remind us this thing,"I complained.
"Now lets move"Goku said in a comical way to make the pressure light.
We locked our room,and moved towards the dinner area, at the way,Mrs Reema passed through us she was also there with the students.
"Why did they bring her here,I don't like to see her at least,"Farhan said making a face.
"It's seems good."
"What?".
"That Reema didn't doubt on us,"Goku said with a smile,we reached the dinner place soon, it was just aside the counter in a big room,the dishes were normal with excessive gravy in them,we tried to pretend ourselves normally without bringing any expressions on our faces.
"Why they use so much oil ."
Someone was complaining,and it was that boy only whom we say making drawings on the board near Whittaker's office,"oh so he is also there"I exclaimed.
"But how, he was saying that he doesn't like study,then he should not be selected if he is not good at studies,"I continued.
"He said that he didn't like study not this that he is poor at it"Goku said .
There was a meaning in what he was saying which I got immediately,Gokus eyes were moving here and there with a great effort, we were knowing the reason rightly so we get close to him and said"she is just behind you Priyansh.”
Goku quickly looked behind without caring that his action can be a bad thing for us,anyone would have noticed him,Goku kept on looking there on her face for a minute until she looked upwards,and then again turned his face towards the plate which was in his hand and was about to fall down, but in time I handled it.
"What are you doing? are you not at your senses,"I said to him slowly so that it doesn't get to someone else.
"Sorry,"he said and threw his plate in the dustbin, Farhan also did the same,but I was hungry so I kept on enjoying the biryani.
"Please finish it soon Ram,"Farhan said to me looking at my plate which was now also having two chapattis,and a sweet.
"Would not you will allow me to have it quietly,"I complained.
"I hope we are having some more works,which are quite important as compared to what you are doing","If you said a single word then I am going to fix this sweet in your mouth,"I shouted at him due to which the persons who were standing at a little distance from us looked behind.
"Keep yourself quiet ,please"Goku requested us.
CH-14
THE HAUNTED HOUSE
I took ten more minutes to complete my food and then we moved out,"so now where is our teacher, he should be here only"I said looking around everywhere.
"He would have went alone seeing that our partner was eating a little bit more,to fill the stomach for the next two days."
Farhan was crossing his limits now but I decided to keep quiet because I was not in a mood to have a fight at this moment.
"See someone is standing there."
Goku was pointing towards a man who was not at all looking like Mr Ashlesh and was standing with a support on the wall but as we looked at him he moved inside a small road which was between two big buildings.
"Catch him"I shouted and we all began running behind him,as we took a turn our eyes remained opened,the road was not moving forward,it was closed after a few yards,and there was no one rather than a dog who was searching for some food at the night.
"Where did he go?You saw him na he was standing here only,he moved on this way only but now he is not"Goku was tempting hard like an athlete who had now only ran in the olympics.
"Yes he was,but it's so strange"Farhan added,we were quite struck with it,the person who was standing here two minutes before was now not there."
It happens sometimes forget about it,"came a voice from behind,it was Mr Ashlesh.
"But sir that guy, that guy he disappeared and you are saying ,it happens"Goku said in the same tempting pattern.
"The time will clear everything,"he said, “now we should move on our business."
"What business?"
"Come with me and I will tell you,"came the answer.
"But sir,"Goku was now also not in a mood to leave the matter"forget it Goku and come with me I will give your answers,"he said and it was the first time when he called our friend as Goku.
"Goku calm down"I said to him.
We then moved behind Mr Ashlesh, he was in his usual get up and according to me the others were not at all knowing about all these things, that Mr Ashlesh was here.
“Where are we going sir?"Goku said.
"Mr Ashlesh smiled a little and then said,"to the castle of sir Mountbatten".
"Why?"I asked suddenly.
"That you will know soon,that place is haunted,"as he said this my heart stopped for a moment, were we going to a haunted castle at such stroke of midnight after a harsh incidence like that?
"It is said that one day Mr Mountbatten was sleepingin his room and he was killed,just he was killed not a single problem was found inside his body".
"He would have died due to heart failure,"Farhan added.
"No he was not,"Mr Ashlesh replied with a smile.
"Why so?"
“Because a knife was found near him completely covered with blood and that was of him only though there was not a single scratch".
We considered the thing gravely for a minute to put some argument but we found a none"so, why now we are going there, is there anything special now?"I said because I was not at all willing to go there.
"May we find something like that,"came a calm reply.
“Mr Yaseen was saying that you are here from the day you left our college so you would be very near to find the truth,"Goku asked.
"I don't know how near I am because some are the things which seems to be far away but are nearer,"he said and then became quiet.
It was a signal of no more questions,we kept on walking away from the main town and finally stopped in front of a very big house made up of wood,surrounded by a beautiful garden,there was a single entrance to the place which was passing through a small wooden bridge made upon a lake.
"It's really big"I said wondering about it's size.
"Yes it is but everyone refused to buy it,his son had tried quite a bit of it but somehow the buyer came to know about the mysterious death of his father."
"Are we going to move in?"I asked.
"Yes I think so,","have you ever moved there sir"Goku asked a very right question.
"No not till now, I was busy with something else something more important than this"he replied and we moved inside the garden of that big house or so called castle,the feelings were of fear,I saw Farhan holding his christ chain,I didn't believe in gods so I was also not believing in this stupid ghost stories.
"Move forward Rajendra and open the gate,"sir asked to me,without wasting a single minute to think what I was doing I moved forward,and just pushed the door a little bit,I was sure that it will be locked but I was wrong ,it opened smoothly.
"Good,Farhan if you are afraid then no one is forcing you to join us, you can stay here and wait till we return".It was like an injury to Farahans self respect.
"No sir I will join you,and I am not at all frightened”.
“Good,"sir said and we entered the place which was going to show us the new limitations of our life.
The house was just a little bit different from the one which were shown in the films,it was not having a big hall but a small light was glowing there.
"What now?"I said to Farhan and this was heard by our former teacher.
"We should take a round of this place, who knows that what new we will see,"he said and we started climbing first the stairs,we kept on moving upwards, there were nearly hundred of it here,at last when we were up we first took a little bit of rest ,holding our knees.
&n
bsp; "How that Mr Mountbatten would have climbed it up the whole life,"Farhan said, the Christ sign was still in his hands.
"He would have preferred more to stay down only,"Goku said and gave a little laugh which normally remained on his face.
"Yes, he normally used to be there only in his room which is at the right corner of the stairs."
"How do you know that?"I asked, because the things were now getting more confusing for me .
"We were very good friends,I was in a hobby of visiting him whenever I passed through Dorta,he was really a very good man,but to my surprise his dead body was found in that room though he was not so young to climb till there”he said pointing towards a room which was there on the left.
"Was he also of your profession?"Farhan asked, who always was in a habit to check what the person is engaged in about which he was talking .
"No he was a land owner and don't move ahead always with a prejudice that the person is having friends only from his profession because that becomes a competition of progress rather than friendship,"sir said,and he was having a good thought of human behaviour in his words.
"Let me show you the room.”
“We moved towards that room, sir slowly opened the gate and a big cluster of dust spread all around the room, at that time only the bulb which was giving light to us till now get bursted with a bang sound.
"What happened?”,but before we would panic, somewhere sir glow up the torch.
"It happens here, don't you know it is said that his soul still rest here,wandering around the whole house."
“What?"Farhan and I shouted suddenly.
"He will not harm his friend I think,"I said, now really I was feeling afraid,but Goku and Mr Ashlesh were calm.
"Let him come here, we will also not had to work hard much,"Goku
