Baja ko saath saathai aaimaiharu royeko awaz pani aairaheko thyo---tyo pani merai ghar jaane bato tira baata. I had to enter a galli, and go through a dark chibal before getting to my house. I was already scared with the idea of going thru that dark galli and chibal and now on top of that ýtoom toom chhya ý was approaching me from the direction I was about to run to. Then I heard a scream on my right and saw someone jumping from one of the temples and run toward the orlao. It was Bange. *Deep!* he screamed and disappeared running down the oralo. I followed calling him. *Bange---Ye Bange---Ye mu** Bange---* Bange did not stop but kept on running through dhunge dhara, turned right toward dhobikhola but swiftly changed direction and with amazing speed ran toward panchedhara. I was running behind him like crazy. The sound of toom toom chhya was being overshadowed by the sound of women wailing. Why are these women crying so loudly and why are they taking the dead body to masan at this weird hour? The thought crossed my mind as I was chasing Bange. ý Chyaý I heard a familiar voice. Bange looked back a couple of times but did not stop running. I did not know why was he running and what was I chasing him for. Bange crossed Panchedhara and ran up that jogi kuti dhisko. On the top of that dhisko was a crumbling kuti or hut known as jogi kuti. People used to say there used to be a jogi long ago but died later. Even in day time, I had never dared to go there. Bange climbed up the dhisko and stood by the jogi kuti. I also climbed up to the jogi kuti to catch up with Bange but when I reached there I did not see him. Now, I was there standing at the place where I never dared to visit even under the brightest sun. I was completely freaked out. ýMa^%$# Bange, ke kich kich gari ra huh aadha raatma?ý I screamed. No response. I could see chabel, dhumbarai, hadigau kisna mandir very clearly. Poornima hudo hoýthe moon seemed quietly stationed up in the clear sky. I did not dare getting inside the jogi kuti at that hour of the night but decided to circle the kuti very cautiously. I kept thinking I would pass out any second cuz my heart was giving up and my mind was getting numb. Another wave of terror badly struck me when I saw a body lying at the back of the kuti. Thousands of goose bumps blanketed my body. Bange! I shouted. Damn! Bange is dead or just fainted? I did not know. When I went close enough to the lying body I realized it was not Bange but was our club captain Dharma dai. Je paye pani taanthyo Dharme ---aaja kaha bata ke tanera aayechha ra yaaha ladechha. I thought. Na mari sakyo! I got terrified. I felt a bit better it was not Bange but where is he? I stared back at dharmeýs face for no specific reason. He suddenly smiled. I terribly freaked out ---and just then a vulture landed on dharmeýs chest and ripped out his intenstines---I saw Bange jumped off the jogi kuti---I also jumped off screaming ý*Bangeeeee!* I got up. Saw Bange lying face down just by me on my left side. On my right, I saw wavering steam escaping the glasses and kept chasing for a few seconds until it disappeared. With a smile, I grabbed a glass and said *Bange, ooth chya selauna lage chha*. *** Bangele ni birseko chhaina rey bhanthyo yo kura.
