👻 Story: "The Call of the Nishi"
Page 1: The New House
Arindam left his job in Kolkata and returned to his ancestral village. His grandfather's old mansion had been abandoned for years. People said no one stayed there after nightfall.
But Arindam didn't believe in such things.
On the very first day, he cleaned the house and started living there alone. The place was surrounded by huge trees, with long corridors inside and many locked rooms.
The first night passed peacefully.
But everything changed on the second night.

It was around 2 a.m.
Suddenly, a sound echoed from the corridor—"Thok… thok… thok…"
Arindam thought it might be a loose window. But the sound slowly came closer… and stopped right outside his door.
Then…
"Arindam… open the door…"
A woman's voice.
He didn't open it.
Because he remembered—he was the only one in the house.

The next morning, he went to an old man in the nearby village.
The old man said,
"That house is haunted by a Nishi. It calls people by name. If anyone opens the door… they never return."
Arindam laughed it off.
But that night, the same sound came again.
"Arindam… I've come…"
This time, the voice sounded very familiar.
Like Mehra—his deceased ex-lover.

Arindam couldn't think straight.
What if it really was Mehra?
From outside the door came the sound of soft crying.
"Open the door… I'm freezing…"
He couldn't resist anymore.
Slowly… he opened the door.

As soon as he opened it…
No one was there.
The corridor was empty.
But on the floor—wet footprints, leading slowly toward the staircase.
Arindam followed them.
Going downstairs, he stopped in front of a locked room.
A room he had never opened.

The door was slightly ajar.
As he stepped inside, a strong rotting smell hit him.
In the middle of the room was an old bed… and on it, a dried corpse.
The body's face was turned toward the door.
As Arindam stepped closer…
The corpse opened its eyes.
And just then, from behind him, that voice—
"I'm right here…"

Arindam turned around.
He saw a girl who looked exactly like Mehra.
But her eyes were completely black.
She was smiling.
"You called me yourself…"
Arindam realized—this wasn't Mehra.
This was the Nishi.
And the corpse on the bed… was someone else who had fallen into the same trap.

The next morning, villagers came looking for Arindam.
The door was open.
The house was empty.
Only wet footprints in the corridor.
And inside that forbidden room…
A new corpse.
Eyes wide open.
Face frozen in terror.
And every night…
From that house, a voice can still be heard—
"Open the door…"
