C5 The Contents of the Wardrobe

Seeing this, I immediately sat up in fright.

The woman's face was not frightening, but I was terrified that I could see her face clearly in the darkness of the room.

Who are you?

At the same time, I moved the back of my other hand over to shake Samit, hoping that he would wake up soon.

But when I reached back, I couldn't touch anything.

I didn't dare to look back, fearing that if I did, the woman in front of me would eat me, so I stretched out my hands as far as I could.

But the floor is so big, and Samit's position is against the wall, I touched the wall, and couldn't even touch him!

The woman stared at me without a word.

It was only then that I could see that she had a big belly and looked as if she had been pregnant for at least five months.

I didn't dare to move even if she didn't say a word. This kind of feeling, one could imagine.

Just when I didn't know what to do, the woman asked, Did you see my child?

Her voice was shrill and familiar.

Damn, isn't that the sound that Second Uncle made when he was making a ruckus in the day?

Although I only heard it once, because it was so distinctive and so sharp, I concluded that I hadn't misheard it.

I replied shakily, "You …" Isn't your child in your belly?

But just as I said my last word, the woman suddenly bent over me. Her expression became abnormally fierce, and she stretched out a pair of dry hands and grabbed my neck!

I struggled as hard as I could, my hands groping everywhere, hoping to find Samit and wake him up.

But to my disappointment, I still didn't know where Samit had gone to. Even if he had gone to the toilet, he should have returned a long time ago.

The strong feeling of suffocation caused my consciousness to gradually disappear. The hideous face before me also gradually became indistinct.

Finally, my vision went black. I didn't know anything.

When I opened my eyes again, I was jolted awake by a violent shaking.

Opening his eyes, a blinding sunlight shined upon him, and two concerned faces slowly appeared before him.

When my eyes were completely focused, I could clearly see that it was Samit and my aunt.

Seeing me wake up, Samit asked me what was wrong. It was already so late and I was still sleeping, but I couldn't wake up even after being called for so long, which was why he came over to shake me.

I looked at the watch on the wall. It was 10: 30 a.m.

Suddenly remembering what had happened last night, I ran to the mirror to see if there were any marks on my neck.

However, after looking for a long time, there isn't the slightest hint of injury. Could it be that I just had a nightmare? Why is it so real?

I called Samit to the side and asked him quietly, "Where did you go last night?"

Samit was at a loss. He said he had been sleeping, where else could he be going!

I told him that last night I saw a woman in a red dress strangling me, and you disappeared, and I couldn't find you, and then I passed out.

After Samit finished listening, his face showed an expression of surprise. He asked me, did you answer her?

I thought about it and said yes, and she asked me where her child was, and I said it was in your belly.

Samit shook his head regretfully. Remember, in the future when you have nightmares and someone asking you a question, you must not answer, no matter what the reason is, do not even say a single word. It is very likely that your Second Uncle is entangled with this thing.

I broke out in a cold sweat. I asked him, Do you know something? If you know the truth, tell me quickly.

Samit shook his head, it was not that I did not want to say it, but it was that I could not confirm it.

Before I could react, he turned and left.

Back on the couch, my mind was full of the woman from last night.

I'd had nightmares before, but I'd never had a dream so real that I couldn't tell if I was dreaming or actually seeing that woman.

At noon, my aunt made two dishes for me and then served me a bowl of "cumin yogurt". She said that since I drank it all in one gulp yesterday, she must have been very fond of it, so she made me a big bowl today.

Seeing this, my stomach churned. I had no choice but to drink, whoever was afraid of that person.

Although my aunt's cumin yogurt was really hard to compliment, but her curry rice was still very good, I ate it all.

Aunt said, when we are the poor people, we never use chopsticks to eat, we only grab them with our hands. This was the chopstick that was specially prepared to take care of Second Uncle, which was why I was able to enjoy the limelight with them.

I wondered if I would be able to eat it if I grabbed the curry with my hand and ate it, with my hands covered in yellow stuff.

After dinner, I asked my aunt, is there any Second Uncle clothing I can wear at home? I was in a hurry when I came out, so I didn't bring any change clothes.

Aunt said yes, you wait. After saying that, she went back to the bedroom to find my clothes. I cleaned up the dishes and prepared to go to the kitchen to wash the dishes.

But before I could pick up the plate, I heard a woman scream from the bedroom!

Putting down the plate, I immediately rushed into the bedroom.

Second Aunt was sitting on the bed, her eyes full of fear, staring at the open wardrobe.

I didn't know what she saw, so I went around the closet door to see what it was.

But when I saw what was in the closet, I was also dumbfounded.

The left side was transparent, and was used to store clothing such as long skirts. The right side was separated by a board, with two floors, which were for holding suits and the like. In the middle was three boxes of clothes neatly arranged in rows.

However, the items placed in the middle of the closet would never appear.

In the middle was a picture of a woman. In front of the picture was a censer with three incense sticks stuck in it.

Black and white photos, wasn't that a portrait?

What frightened me the most was that the woman in this photo was the one who had grabbed me by the neck last night!

It was a standard oval face, very delicate. Although the skin was typical yellow Indian skin, it was very smooth and tender. She looked very young, around 20 years old.

But the picture of the beautiful woman in front of me made it impossible for me to be moved by her beauty.

I called my aunt several times before she came back to her senses. I asked her, When did this thing appear?

She shook her head as if she had lost her soul.

I think maybe the Second Uncle is infected, and this thing in the wardrobe is the culprit!

I do not know about the mystery here, so I did not dare act rashly. I immediately called Samit and told him the situation.

After Samit heard this, he shouted loudly into the phone, Don't close the cabinet door, don't touch it, stay away from this! Now go out and lock the door, and I'll come when I'm done!
