Ashes

It was Sunday. Hata and Narooz had kept a panchal matcha in the whole house. Bilquis was happily preparing food in the kitchen. After the death of her husband, Bilqis worked very hard to raise her children. Bilqis's husband had left a lot of property as inheritance. In which there was also a market. The rent received from it easily covered the expenses of Balqis's family. The eldest son of Bilqis was twenty- three years old. His name was Samsam. A year had passed since his graduation. He had a son Narooz one and a half years younger than him and a daughter Hina who was two years younger than Narooz.

It was twelve o'clock in the afternoon. Hina and Narooz were enjoying their holiday by playing video games. Rose was in second year and Hina was in first year. Bilqis came from the kitchen drying her hands and turned towards Narooz.

Narooz! Samsam has gone to his friend since ten in the morning. What did he say?

How long will it come??

Samsam was saying that it would take two or three hours," Narooz replied.

Rose! How many times have I told you to do what Samsam Bhai said? He is one and a half from you

The year is big." Bilqis said in a harsh tone. "Ami, who is the youngest among us? We don't know. We know now that we are each other's friends and friends don't have these problems." Bilqis smiled after hearing this from Narooz Keep the love. "Meanwhile, Samsam was busy showing tricks to his friends on his motorbike on the open road in the middle of the traffic. Sometimes he would take the fast motorbike diagonally close to the ground while putting his hooves on the ground and still holding his hands. She would bend her legs upwards while going upside down on the motorbike while strengthening. Friends as well as others were amazed at this stunt of Samsam.


were The family was waiting for Samsam. When it was two o'clock, Bilqis's life was filled with anxiety. Samsam had said two hours, why did it take so long? You are getting worried. He must have been surrounded by friends. "Just as these words were being spoken by Nirooz, Samsam entered the room with an ungainly gait. He was trying his best to walk straight on his side.


Bilqis angrily moved towards Samsam. Why did you take so long?" That's it! Some of my close friends came. They forced me." Bina, definitely meet your friends, I don't say this, but tell me and go and try to return home on time." Balqis explained to Samsam, Samsam said with an innocent smile.


The above error occurred. I won't do that in the future." After saying this, he looked at Naroz and Hina. "You people haven't eaten yet. Narooz said softly.


I'm sorry! I will go somewhere without telling you in the future." Saying this, Samsam Bey went towards the Nile of food while walking in his style, then Bilqis immediately stopped him looked at the knee. "How are you doing? What's the matter?" Someone sprained his knee. As if a bone has climbed on a bone. If I give a shock, it will be fine. "Lies were coming out of Samsam's tongue. Narooz looked at Samsam with a wicked look, then Samsam rolled his eyes at him.


Oh my God. For one thing, this boy has taken away half of my life. "Balqis shook his head. After some time, they all got busy eating. After eating, Hina and Balqis walked towards the kitchen with the dishes and started setting up the kitchen and Samsam got up from the dining table chair and went to the sofa. But it was stretched. After some time, Rosy went towards Samsam with medicine and cotton in his hand. "Come on, show me quickly. Where is the injury. You don't do it well, by the way. Life is a very precious thing. It's just a few minutes of fun." For you put yourself on the line." He was explaining to Samsam but "Samsam was smiling and looking at him constantly. There was so much love in his eyes. He was jealous in his heart of how much everyone wanted him and his own heart was also in love." He was devoted to his mother and his siblings were his weakness. Hina was the apple of both brothers' eyes. This small family was Balqis' paradise, filled with love and sincerity.

The waves kept flowing.

The next day, Hatta and Zarooz went to college. Samsam also got ready to go to the office in the morning. Sitting there, he used to keep accounts of the rented shops and his taxis and lands. Samsam had a son in his office that his employee Akram who often investigated the lands It was going to be done inside. Come Akram sit down. "Samsam said while placing the file on the table. Then he addressed Akram. Please, none of us has visited the mansion for the past two years." Then, moving his finger on his knapti, he said that this mansion has been inherited from the ancestors for two hundred years. Far away from the city where this mansion is located. There is no sign of any population for several kilometers and because of the wild bushes and extremely rocky terrain, even a vehicle cannot drive there. That place has become a stronghold of terrible wild animals. There are so many snakes and scorpions that I should never go there."


Thanks, whatever. That mansion is the symbol of our ancestors. We have to take care of it at all times. The mansion is a great monument of our family heritage. Even today, everything there is the same as it was a hundred years ago," said Samsam thinking


When Samsam reached home around eight o'clock in the night, his heart leapt with joy. The whole house was decorated like day. Bilqis was wearing a very expensive saree. Hata and Narooz approached Samsam smiling. "Go ahead..." Masam looked at the calendar with a smile and moved towards Bilqis in a nostalgic way.

Khanta and Narooz took Bilqis and Samsam's hand and led them near the table. The table was filled with a beautiful cake as well as colorful accessories. In this happy atmosphere full of moments of sincerity, Bilqis was enjoying these joys sitting among her children.

Bhini Bhini music was rising in the air. It was not known when the seeds were sown in the atmosphere. They all sat on the carpet with a cup of tea in their hands. They were busy chatting when there was a knock at the door. Who can it be at this time? "Naroz started to get up to look, then Samsam quickly


You sit and I will watch." Saying this, Samsam left the room. Samsam opened the door and near the door stood his very pious elders. Their faces were shining with light. Samsam's eyes were bowed down with respect.


Gone. The old man said in a very mystical manner, "He was passing by. I am thirsty. I will give you a glass of water."


"You come in and drink water." Hearing Samsam's words, those elders came inside. When Bilqis saw the elder, he seated him very respectfully, looking at Musam with questioning eyes. Mother, he asked for water, so I told you to come in and drink water." Samsam said pointing to the elder.


Bilqis gave water to the sage. Baba drank water and addressed Samsam. "Just bring a pinch of salt." Samsam brought a little salt on the palm of his hand and spread it in front of Baba. When Baba started to take the salt from Samsam's hand, his eyes widened. Tremblingly he pulled his hand back. Whispers flashed in his eyes. Bilquis panicked. "What happened, Babaji?" Ballia held her right hand in the air and her eyes widened with terror Gave it to Samsam's face. Baba can't lie but he can't keep silent either he will die after a month but the center will not die either. There will be fire everywhere." Hearing these words of Baba, Bilqis held his heart. His face started to wear. Babaji, you should think about someone's empty liver while uttering such words from your mouth. If the elder If you understand that it is your honor, it does not mean that you will get any interest by putting us in the circle of these whispers. We do not believe in such things."


Baba stood patiently. That's why mother is saying this, may God encourage you." Saying this, Baba bowed his head and left quietly. Bilqis and his family did not believe Baba's words, but Bilqis became quite depressed.


Samsam came close to Bilqis after closing the door. "Mom, those poor type people have a habit of it. Saying such things to attract others towards you.


Let's hurry up and improve your mood." Bilqis smiled and kissed Samsam's head. "May God prolong my son's life. I have no illusions." Hina and Narooz also placed their heads on Bilqis' shoulders while pampering.


On the third day, Bilqis, Zouz Samsam and Hina were all having breakfast when Samsam's mobile phone rang. When Samsam received the call, the expressions of surprise and concern started appearing on his face. Samsam said in a worried tone. "How can this happen? I will go to the mansion myself and find out." After saying this, he turned off the mobile button.

What's up son! is everything okay. What was going on with the mansion?" Bilqis said in trouble.

"My friend had a phone. He is saying very strange things. He is saying that the place where our mansion is. His car broke down there during the trip. He has seen the whole mansion lit up in the dark of night. According to him, he is a Haveli Abad.” of Samsam

Surprise lines were drawn on the forehead. How can it be that someone is living in our mansion and we don't know about it? There is no electricity system. Bilqis said with surprise and concern. The surprising thing is that this friend of mine used to light torches outside the mansion.

have seen " Samsam said. Torches? Bilqis and Hanna asked Samsam in surprise. Rose looked at Samsam mockingly. "Your friend is kidding you. In this era, how can anyone leave the whole city and stay in such a mansion after setting fire to it?

"Rose! Don't take this as a joke. My friend is not joking. I will go to the mansion myself for a day or two." Samsam said.

At ten o'clock in the night, Hina, Naroz and Assamsam went to sleep in their respective rooms. Bilqis was checking the locks of the whole house. It was a December night. There was a silence everywhere in the bitterly cold atmosphere. A white blanket of fog enveloped everything. Nothing was visible. They were making their presence felt in the terrible sound of animals. At eleven o'clock Almost Bilqis also went to sleep in her room. Samsam was sleeping in his room. Samsam was hiding his face with his arm in the dim light of Zira Doulat, when suddenly there was a knock on the door of his room. When the first knock came, Samsam shifted his crotch anxiously in a state of sleeplessness, but then on the second and third knock, he woke up from his sleep. Who is it? Saying that Samsam got up from his bed. The sound of knocking was constantly coming. Samsam was walking towards the door with loose feet. When Samsam opened the door with a jerk, he remained motionless. There was no one at the door. 

Samsam looked around but there was no one in the distance. He was scared. He quickly closed the door and nervously walked towards his bed and then quickly crawled into his bed and covered his face with a sheet. Within a few hours, his vision began to brighten and his eye caught. Samsam's grandchildren started to tremble while sleeping. He was having a mysterious dream. Even in the dream there was the same darkness of the night. Samsam was standing outside his ancestral mansion. Torches were burning on both sides of the door. Meanwhile, a very beautiful maiden appeared. She was dressed in white. Her hair was reaching her knees. She came out of the gate of the mansion and started walking towards Samsam. As Samsam became still in his own place. She came closer to Samsam and whispered in her husky voice.


Come to the mansion. Fire is fire everywhere here. Look here, they are burning with blood." Saying this, she started walking towards the mansion, and Samsam started walking behind her in a state of unconsciousness. After a while, the girl walked towards the mansion. before Samsam entered the mansion behind her. A sense of pressure came over her in her sleep and her breath hitched. There was an obstacle. He began to make muffled sounds from his mouth and then with a jerk he pulled himself out of this situation. He opened his eyes and came out of this terrible stupor. He took a long sigh of relief when he found himself in his room, but an unknown fear was embedded in his veins.


As soon as he woke up the next morning, Samsam decided to go to the mansion and informed Bilqis of his intention. After getting ready, he had a quick breakfast. Samsam! I will also go with you. You don't go there alone. If your friend's words are proved to be true, it will become a big problem. Narooz said to Samsam, "No Roza, you stay with Mamma and Hina. Even if something like that happens, I


I will act thoughtfully. You do not worry. I will come soon, God willing.” Saying this

Samsam left there.

Samsam was driving his car very fast. After a long distance of seven hours, the mountain range with rocky paths started where the mansion was. There was a strange terror in this desolate region of thorn trees and wild bushes, far from human population.


After a long distance, Samsam's jeep began to stumble on a very rocky road. That path led straight to this mansion. Which was glowing from a distance. Seeing the mansion lit up like this, Samsam's eyes widened in surprise. On both sides of this rocky path were wild thorn bushes. As Samsam drove the jeep near the mansion, the same unknown fear that he had felt in his dream awakened in him.
