The story begins with the introduction of a typical yet intriguing family consisting of four members:
Kashif, the head of the family, is a hardworking but timid man. He doesn’t believe in supernatural entities but sometimes feels gripped by an unexplainable fear.
Raqiya, the loving and strong-willed mother, firmly believes in the supernatural. She is always vigilant, reciting prayers to protect her family.
Zeenat, their 12-year-old daughter, is extremely sensitive and easily frightened. She is very attached to her father.
Muneeb, their 14-year-old son, is brave and curious, always eager to explore new places and stay calm even in dangerous situations.
The family is busy with their everyday lives, but during summer vacations, they plan a memorable trip for a change.

A Dangerous Tour
One day, Raqiya suggested to Kashif while sitting with the kids,
“The children are on vacation; we should go somewhere for a trip.”
Zeenat excitedly chimed in, “Yes, Baba, let’s go somewhere!”
Muneeb, equally thrilled, said, “It would be so much fun to visit forests and mountains!”
Initially, Kashif tried to refuse, but under Raqiya and the children’s persistent requests, he eventually agreed.

The Journey Begins
Raqiya prayed for the family’s safety while the children prepared their belongings. Early the next morning, the family set off in their car, enjoying each other’s company with jokes and laughter.
As they drove, Raqiya noticed a serene lake nearby and said,
“This place looks so beautiful; why don’t we stop here for a while?”
Kashif pulled over, and they all went to the lakeside. The sun was setting, painting the scene with breathtaking colors. Muneeb and Zeenat played by the water’s edge, splashing each other.
But Raqiya felt uneasy, as though someone was watching them. Kashif, too, momentarily sensed an eerie presence but dismissed it.

The Hotel Stay
As night fell, they stopped at a nearby hotel. They rented a single room, with Kashif and Raqiya sharing one bed while Zeenat and Muneeb took the other.
Late at night, Zeenat woke up feeling thirsty and left the room to get water. The hotel’s corridor was eerily quiet, with dim, flickering lights adding to the sinister atmosphere. She cautiously descended the stairs.
At the counter, she called out, “Is anyone here?” but received no response. Her voice echoed through the empty hallway.
Suddenly, she saw a figure in white standing at a distance. Its disheveled hair and glowing red eyes filled her with dread. Trembling, she asked, “Who are you?” but the figure remained silent.
Frightened, she stumbled backward and ran to her room, waking Kashif with a shaking voice, “Baba, there was someone downstairs in white, with red eyes, just staring at me!”
Kashif reassured her, “Zeenat, it was probably your imagination or a hotel staff member. Don’t worry.”
Raqiya hugged Zeenat, recited prayers over her, and comforted her until she calmed down. Everyone returned to sleep, but the unsettling incident lingered in their minds.

The Forest Encounter
The next morning, they resumed their journey, visiting a park where the children enjoyed swings and games. By sunset, they decided to head back.
Driving through the dense forest at night, their car suddenly broke down. Despite Kashif’s efforts, the engine wouldn’t start. Recalling a mechanic mentioned by locals, he suggested they all walk together to find him.
As they ventured into the dark forest, the atmosphere grew heavy. Kashif felt as though giant shadows were watching them from behind the trees, and Raqiya, too, sensed someone lurking.
Suddenly, Zeenat screamed in terror, startled by a small animal scurrying nearby. They laughed it off, but the unease persisted.
A little further, Muneeb saw something on a tree branch – a figure in white with disheveled hair, red eyes, and inverted feet dangling ominously. Frozen with fear, he quietly rejoined his family, not daring to say a word.
Finally, they reached the mechanic, who fixed their car. He asked if they had seen or experienced anything unusual in the forest, but they all remained silent.

The Haunted House
Later that night, they stopped at an old, decrepit house to rest. The place was eerie, with creaky doors and dust-covered walls, but they had no other choice.
As they settled in, strange things began to happen. Kashif felt a drop of blood on his face but dismissed it as his imagination. Soon after, the beds started shaking, and a sorrowful voice echoed, “This is our home. Leave now!”
The family froze in terror as the door rattled violently, and Zeenat was suddenly lifted into the air and thrown across the room.
Panic-stricken, they saw shadows of white-clad figures with blood-red eyes surrounding the house. Kashif mustered the courage to shout, “We are leaving! We’re leaving now!”
They fled the house and returned to their car. But Zeenat, now visibly unwell, appeared to be under some supernatural influence.
---
The Spiritual Cure
On their way back, they encountered a pious man, who prayed for Zeenat and removed the evil presence affecting her. He warned them never to return to that house, as its influence was deeply malevolent.
The family returned home, shaken and fearful. For weeks, Raqiya recited prayers for their protection, and Kashif silently grappled with his disbelief in the supernatural.
Gradually, their lives returned to normal, though the haunting memories lingered.
The End
