Whispers of the dark night, Part 1

It was dark and one may say it was a relatively darker night than the previous ones in the month. One could hardly see anything unless one looks at the sky. The sky was visible although dark. There were few star but that was it

It was a large compound that Farid lived in; his house next to the Dargah. Farid had taken his dinner and as per his habit was taking a round of his compound.

Farid was walking slowly and was looking more at the sky than the earth beneath him. He could hear the silence of the sky. There were no birds or dogs to disturb him and he could feel the sound of silence.

It was fairly cold and as his Ammi always used to chide him for not covering his ears, Farid felt cold in the ears. He placed his hand on his ears.

And suddenly he heard a sound. Someone was whispering, there was some voice. He looked back and there was none. He was scared and at the same time he was acting composed.

He had heard stories of how the Dead from the Dargah had protected his family during the many calamities like earthquake and riots. It struck him of the people from Dargah are attempting to tell something.

He started walking briskly and trying to rush back to his house. And suddenly he saw a light. He has never seen it before. It was a flash and before he could move it had gone.
He was too scared so he sat down on  the sand. He was sitting right on the sand and started looking at the sky. What was that.

And then he heard the voice again. His ears could now hear it properly. Someone was telling him. Come back Farid come back Farid.

By now Farid had regained his composure. He started listening. He was being asked to comeback .. Come back Farid, come back Farid. No other words.

However in few minutes Farid no more felt the voice. The whispers were silent. Farid then got up and started rushing to his house. While moving to his house Farid decided he won't tell anyone of his experience . He was scared he would not be able to explain the events and others may take it for he becoming possessed

The next day Farid was too scared and decided not to go walking in his compound.

However the day after curiosity got the better of him and Farid again went for his walk. It was again a dark night and one could hardly see anything.

He was walking and he had crossed the Dargah, Suddenly felt a touch. Someone was patting on his back. He looked back and there was none. He realised he is back for an experience similar to what he had a couple of days back

By now Farid was comfortable. So he again looked back but again did not find anyone. He decided to wait if he sees anyone. As he was looking at the earth and at times the sky again a voice whispered into his ears..

Farid placed his entire attention. The voice was clear although from a far distance . Farid you don't belong to this world, come to us. Farid, come to us. This is not your real existence.

It was getting clearer. Farid placed his hands near his ears. He wanted to hear each word. Farid, you were not born on this earth, you belong to us. Come back to us.

Farid, you don't exist, you are just a set of garments placed over a body we had sent to earth for some moments. Come back to us.. There is nothing you have which is you. We have just placed an illusion before you. You are not a body, you are not a living being, you are just a moment.

Farid was still walking and soon he saw the gate of his house. He could see the blue color of the gate. He sensed the lights of his house. Suddenly he realised there was no voice and nor were there any whispers . He could hear the sound of the insects whch were roaming near the lights of his house. He then went inside his house. The whispers had stopped and it was back to being a normal night
