Ahsan, Alina and Fizza were siblings. Fizza was young, but she always spoke the truth. Ahsan and Alina were scolded by their parents and grandparents for speaking the truth. One day, they planned to take revenge on Fizza. They decided on Friday, because on that day, their mother went to the Friday market and their grandfather went to listen to the sermon.

After their mother and grandfather left on Friday, Fizza started looking for a place to do her school homework.

Ahsan and Alina's bags were in their places, only hers was missing. She was very surprised. This had never happened before. After searching everywhere for the bag, she came to Alina. Ahsan was not there.

"You guys hid my bag, right?" She suspected that the two of them had hidden her bag together,

so that her homework would be completed and she would be scolded.

Alina immediately said: “Ahsan has hidden your bag in the rooftop store.”

“Thank you.” Fizza said and moved towards the rooftop.

Alina was behind her. Fizza opened the door of the rooftop store. With a bang, a bundle of dusty clothes fell on her head. This store was full of very old and unnecessary household goods.

Ahsan had once told Fizza that a ghost lives in the store.

Fizza had never believed Ahsan’s words. That’s why she opened the door without hesitation. After shaking off the dust from her head, she started hitting the wall to light the lamp. She couldn’t remember where the switchboard was. Suddenly, there was light in the corner of the store. It was a round light that is put in a circle to illuminate a part. A long, involuntary scream came out of her mouth: “Ami․․․․․․!” She took two steps back and tried to open the door, but it was closed.

While banging on the door with both hands, she called out to her sibling: “Alina Baji, Ahsan… Open the door… Ghost… Ghost.”

Meanwhile, that strange creature was moving towards her. Its face was completely white. The circles around its eyes were turning red and its lips were black. The ghost was moving towards it. Its throat started to close as it screamed.

As it banged on the door with all its might, its hands started to hurt. It felt like it would never be able to get out. The ghost was slowly approaching it. Fiza could not see its direction. The ghost had come very close to it. It took its hand out from inside its black dress and extended it towards it. Fiza’s tolerance was at an end. She became pale and unconscious.

Meanwhile, the ghost who was holding back his laughter became restless with laughter. He turned on the switch and turned on the marker bulb.

“Fizza․․․․․” Bhok shouted.

“Alina, Alina! Open the door.” The ghost slammed the door, which immediately opened.

“How was it?” he asked eagerly, peering inside. Now, like Ahsan who had become a ghost, he also regained consciousness.

Blood was coming out of Ahsan’s head and right palm, and Fizza, who had fallen unconscious, was bleeding.

“Fizza, Fizza!” Like Ahsan, he also patted Fizza’s cheek, but she did not regain consciousness. When Ahsan, who had become a ghost, extended his hand towards her, her courage returned and she fell unconscious. Where she had fallen was a pile of sharp sticks. A sharp stick had scratched her head.

Three wooden sticks had peeled off her palm. She was lying unconscious on the roof of the store, covered in blood.

"What is happening?" Hearing Grandpa Abu's voice, Ahsan and Alina bent over Fiza and straightened up with a jolt.

For some reason, Grandpa Abu had returned early. Not finding the children in the lower portion, he came upstairs.

First, his eyes fell on Ahsan, who was crying.

Seeing her strange appearance, he was about to say something when

his eyes fell on Fiza.

"What happened to her? Fidha, Fidha!" He straightened her up. Her face was full of blood.

Grandpa Abu said: "Alina! Run away, bring Mira First Adbox. Ahsan! You pick her up and help me carry her down."

After coming down, Grandpa Abu splashed water on her face.

She woke up with a whimper and hugged Grandpa Abu and started crying: "I saw a ghost, Grandpa Abu! Very dangerous."

"This was not that ghost!" She pointed angrily at Ahsan while crying. The lipstick applied around her eyes and the powder applied to her face had been wiped off in some places by her tears. The mascara applied to her lips had also been removed in some places, perhaps she had also touched her lips while asking for tears.

Now he seemed less of a ghost and more of a clown. Fidha laughed with her head full of blood. Alina came with a box of medicines. Dada Abu wiped the blood from her face with cotton, examined the wounds and bandaged them. The injury was minor. She would have recovered in two or three days. Dada Abu looked at Ahsan and Alina and said sarcastically: "Now you two will lie again that you were joking with Fidha." She herself was more scared. I know you two are unaware of the virtues of truth, you feel uncomfortable when Fidha speaks the truth, so you did this to take revenge on her." Both of them were frowning.
