Chapter 1: The Letter
Rohan ko ek ajeeb sa letter mila—na sender ka naam, na address. Bas ek line likhi thi:
"Tumhe sach jaanna hai to purane haveli me aao."
Rohan hans pada. Aaj ke time me kaun letter bhejta hai? Par andar se ek curiosity jag gayi. Us haveli ka naam sunte hi use bachpan ki kahaniyaan yaad aayi—log kehte the wahan koi nahi jaata, aur jo gaya… kabhi wapas nahi aaya.
Shaam hote hi Rohan apni bike le kar haveli ki taraf nikal gaya. Raste me andhera badhta gaya, hawa tez chalne lagi. Haveli ke paas pahuchte hi uska phone network chala gaya.
Gate aadha khula tha… jaise kisi ne uska intezaar kiya ho.
Rohan ne dheere se gate push kiya. Ajeeb si awaaz aayi. Andar bilkul sannata tha.
Jaise hi wo andar gaya, uske peeche gate zor se band ho gaya.
