Haunted!!!

I got up. Its a regular day but weird. Regular because I had to get up early for college. Weird because its still dark. So much portion of my life has gone till now when I used to get up around 9 or even 10. Just getting up at 6 makes me feel proud of myself...and at the same time freaks the hell out of me. If I tell my old friends that I get up almost every day at 6 they would ask me to prove it or at least laugh hysterically about it and will say 'Abe tu...' (and then laugh hysterically some more). But I do it regularly now as I mentioned and yes, that day was weird for another reason.

It was a weekend and my dad had gone to hometown(BTW FYI...We do have college on weekends...). So, I got up around 6am (I am deliberately avoiding using the word Alarm which bloody woke me up..) and apparently I am alone at home. Its dark, I am lying there on the bed and I look out of the window and ....No there's nothing there. (Just because the title is haunted, does not mean its gonna have ghosts throughout.. :P). It looked quite calm outside. Sound of a train passing by from the station near my place. Rest is all serene. No matter how much I want to lie there in my bed feeling sleepy(as always), I have to get up. And I do get up like every other day. Then I get ready for college(brush, shower...blah blah...do not wanna go into details and you also stop imagine those :P).

With the last big task at hand, combing my hair, I will be ready to leave. I stand in front of the mirror and start combing when I thought I saw something in the mirror which was a reflection of the window behind (yeah if you guessed it, you got it right this time). It feels weird but I turn around I start going to the window when I start thinking about how stupid guys in horror movies go where they simply shouldn't and end up getting... well..you know. I retracted a bit but then thought what the hell. Lets have a look. Much to my disappointment(Read RELIEF) there's nothing there. I finish the rest of the stuff, shoes and all and lock the door and I left, my mind still on what happened about five minutes back.

These are the times when you realize disadvantages of living on the 17th floor and going to the ground floor in a lift...alone. So I am waiting for the lift. It comes. I get in. Press 0 and lift door closes. Just when I am thinking about some classic lift scene from a horror movie, the lights go off for a moment or so and it gets dark. I skipped a heartbeat but felt glad it was out for just a second or two may be. I get off the lift as soon as it reached ground floor. Yes, relieved again.

I am on the road now, walking to the station like everyday, feeling good that I am in public place now. Its about 7 am so there are people on the street (Its Mumbai after all!!! :D). I am walking on the right side of the road(dont get it wrong...I meant road's right side not the right side...baah..you get it I hope :P). So I am walking (:|) and I happen to look at a guy walking towards me who is wearing a cap at 7 am with hardly any sun out. Boy, that gets me thinking, much credit to the earlier events of the day. And to add some more suspense that guy is looking down. I cant see his face and some more movie scenes come to my head. I am this close to imagine him getting his head up and seeing void instead of eyes or some abnormally weird marks on his face, he looks up and kills all the fun(Read: You know what). Regular guy with a weird habit of wearing caps at unusual times I guess. And I move on.

I reach the station, train arrives in some time, I dont know how much, I am kinda occupied with thoughts already (You can guess ..). I get on that train and leave for college and start thinking 'Dude, you are just going to college now. The real horror hasn't even started yet.'
