"How is this possible? What is happening to us?" Suhani was frustrated.

It was 3 pm and Sumedh was asleep for almost 14 hours. She tried to wake him up several times but he didn't. Before sleeping he was behaving weird and Suhani was praying that he would be normal after waking up.

Suhani was trying to call everyone she knew but it was as if those people didn't exist at all.

"Sabka phone not reachable kaise ho sakta hai" Suhani kept trying.

Sumedh opened his eyes and looked everywhere. He saw panicked Suhani but didn't say anything.

"Sumedh" She said as she saw him awake "Are you okay?"

"Yes. I am okay" Sumedh answered.

Suhani sighed "Sumedh maine sabko phone try kar liya par sabke phones not reachable hai" She told "Tumhare phone se bhi try kiya but still"

"Aisa kaise ho sakta hai" He sat up on bed.

"Main sach bol rahi hoo" Suhani said "Dekho tum try karke. We are stuck here. Koi khud se phone bhi nahi kar raha hai aaj. Warna toh sab ghar wale hame phone karte hai na"

"Shayad unhe bhi hamara phone not reachable aa raha ho" Sumedh said.

"Pata nahi" Suhani said "Sumedh this is so frustrating"

"Hum phir se bahar nikalne ka try karenge" Sumedh stood up "Iss baar puri tayyari se jayenge"

Suhani nodded. She packed a little bag with important things. Sumedh got ready and they came out of the bedroom.

Sumedh was expecting extreme sunlight but the curtains and windows were closed. Atmosphere was eerily quiet.

"Ek kaam karenge bahar jayenge aur jitna ho sake Sayali ke ghar ke pas jayenge aur usko bulayenge" Sumedh said whilst walking towards main door.

"Agar wapis wahi wahi ghumne wale hai hum toh main give up kar rahi hoo sach batati hoo" Suhani said "Mujhse nahi jhela ja raha hai yeh sab"

"Listen" Sumedh stopped "It's been several hours. Kisine hamse baat nahi ki hai. Hamara phone lag nahi raha hoga. Toh hamari family chinta kar rahi hogi aur wo hame dhondne aayenge ya phir madad bhejenge"

Suhani sighed "You're right"

They walked towards door and Sumedh opened it.

Bag fell down from Suhani's hand as she saw that the door lead to nowhere. There was a brick wall behind it and nothing else.

"What the fuck" Sumedh exclaimed "Yeh hamara main door hai na?" He looked everywhere.

"Haan. Wahi hai" Suhani was shocked.

"What is happening" Sumedh muttered and closed the door

Suhani sat down on floor and so did Sumedh.

"I think.. The person who wanted to kill me is doing this" Suhani said.

"How is that possible?" Sumedh asked.

"Why not?" Suhani asked "You remember how black magic worked on Samar. May be this is the same"

"Doesn't look like a black magic Suhani" Sumedh said.

"Then what is this?" Suhani asked "Is this even real? Who build a fucking wall in front of our door?"

"Exactly. Wo bhi sirf ek raat me?" Sumedh asked "Na hamne koi aawaj suni na kuch"
