Game machine
Nisha went out with her friends in mall. It was perfect day for her. She started chatting about many things. They were discussing dresses and movies. They were discussing about boys too. But Nisha was not interested in that chapter much. She was not interested in any boy from class room. Few boys were nice but no one was smart enough to impress her. Same thing apply to her best friend Tina. Tina" I don't understand why are they discussing those boys. Frankly I want a boy who was more intelligent and settled." " Sure some one loaded with money." They both started laughing. But this was truth of their life. They knew that they both wanted prince charming but they were not going to get it. So they were happy to settle for nice kind boy who was settled enough to provide for family. They might like a car in house but then it was not must. But they wanted a nice big house. But those boys who were studying with them didn't earn salary so they were not going to take risk of getting involved. They didn't want to reject a boy or broke some heart since that boy couldn't earn enough. But they also didn't want to marry a boy who forced them to earn. They didn't want to carry financial burden of entire family. So they decided that it was too early to decide about boys. Instead of boys they started discussing about TV shows and it's characters. It was safe area. They could admire TV star without getting proposal from him or without breaking heart for rejecting it. They started talking about story line of that serial when Nisha located that game machine. It was nice childish machine. She supposed to put coin in it then one toy would come out. She knew that it was childish but still she loved to store them. She had their collection. She loved collecting them. Then she might gift them some one if need arise. She had gifted few to kids of her relatives. Those kids always jumped with joy and parents kept saying no but still those kids didn't seem ready to return them. Finally kids won and those toys went home. Nisha always enjoyed smile of kids. She decided that she needed those toys to impress kids. It was her specialty whenever kids came in home she was that person who supposed to entertain them. All kids just managed to fall in love with her. She liked it normally. But sometimes she also wanted to relax and talk with adults. Specially when kids were too naughty. Some kids were pain in neck. Specialty her Uncle's grand son. Her father had one elder brother and two younger sisters. He always gave special respect to his elder brother. So whenever his family entered in home they were supposed to be treated like king. Nisha always hated it. Since her Auntie never talked nicely with her Mom. She always kept telling her that she had two daughter and it was not enough. She must try to give birth to a son. It was so irritating. She hated it when her Auntie started describing to Mom how useful her son were to her. She was so upset. She tried her best to help her Mom. Once she talked with Mom. " Mom do you feel I am less because I can't stay with you?" Mom started laughing. Mom " Who gave you guarantee her sons will stay with her? Come on sweet heart she is just snob. Her son might go to abroad or stay in different city. It is possible that they might need to buy different flat too. Their house is not big enough." Nisha nodded but it hurt. Now this Auntie came with her grand son who didn't stay with her. Her Son stayed in different house. It was clear that her son fought with her. But Nisha didn't blame her cousin that Auntie was horrible. But still whenever she came, Nisha needed to attend that small child who was too rude. He kept demanding then he even kept insulting. He didn't have any manners. She felt that she needed toys for him. She decided that she must put one coin inside and get that toy. Nisha " Stop Tina I want to take toy." Tina started laughing. Nisha also joined her. Nisha " Come on. You know me. I am still small girl." They both smiled and stood near that machine. It had many small toys in those plastic balls. It was game of luck. Nisha felt strange feeling like some wind was telling her something. She decided that she must close eyes and take out one toy. She did it. Then she took that ball in hand. It seemed like some crystal ball which show her fortune. She opened it. Inside it she saw a nice bunny. She didn't understand it. But then other friends started calling them so they ran ahead.
Nisha knew that it was normal trip. But she was so excited about it. She just loved that plastic ball. She wanted to open it. Nisha " I just want to open this ball." Tina " Why? What is so exciting about it?" " I just feel that it have my destiny hidden inside it. I can sense it." Tina started laughing. Nisha gave her angry look. Tina " I thought you are joking!!" " I am not." Nisha " Forget it. If you don't believe me." Then suddenly other friends started calling. Tina " Let's go now. We will talk about it later." Nisha nodded. But she suddenly went in far away corner. She knew that she needed to see that toy. She slowly opened it. She saw that it had small plastic boat. Now this was something useless. She knew that she couldn't see a plastic boat in mall. She was not inside water park. Then Tina suddenly came from behind. Tina " What is it? Show me." Tina took that small plastic boat out of her hand. She started watching it. Tina " This is a plastic boat? Let's see if we see this kind of boat today." " Tina it is impossible. I have managed to believe too much in fantasies. I might need to change choice of my books." Tina " Come on. Let's search for it." " No we must not. If we need to see it then it will come before us automatically." Tina nodded. It was clear that Tina was enjoying entire stunt. Nisha also smiled happily. It was perfect. They began this thing as game. Nisha didn't want it to be treated seriously otherwise it seemed like madness. Nisha started moving ahead on each step with care. There was not any plastic boat. She was little disappointed. But then she knew that it was not going to appear. Tina " I can't see a plastic boat." Nisha " It was just a game not truth. I can't see future in that game machine of kids." Tina " I know. Let's forget it. We must enjoy now." Then they all went to see rides. They took few rides then they went for shopping when one girl from their group started talking about a water park behind mall. Nisha was confused. It was not possible. They couldn't go to water park now. Nisha " But it will take time." " No..no..it is just behind." " But we need clothes." " Stop! worrying Tina. They give them on hire and I have few extra clothes too." One girl " I don't want to wear rental one." That girl looked frustrated. But other girls started supporting her. Then suddenly Nisha found shop of suitable clothes for water park. Nisha " There is one shop. You can buy it." Then they went there and soon they started to go in water park. Tina sat near Nisha and started laughing. Other friend noticed it. Friend " Tina do you really wanted to visit water park so much. You look so happy." Tina just nodded. It was not about water park. It was about plastic boats. That water park surely had boats. So after reaching to water park they spend their whole time in water boats. They enjoyed it. Nisha and Tina were so happy. When they started to go home, Tina came near Nisha. Tina " I heard that some people can see future. It might be possible that you have that power." " No..No it was not about me. I feel it is about that game machine. It was telling future." Then suddenly their one friend heard it. Friend " Come on just say it. I was observing you two for long time. You have some secret. Just tell it to me." Tina looked at Nisha nervously. Nisha"Nothing important just normal things." Friend " Like some boy? Are you involved with some one?" Tina " Stop this nonsense. We were just playing one game." " Game? What game?" " Actually Nisha took out a ball from game machine which had small toys and we consider it fortune teller. It showed us a plastic boat and we assumed it can't be truth but we landed in water park." That friend looked confused then she started laughing. " You two joke in wonderful way." Nisha also joined that laugh. Nisha " That game was joke so we were laughing when it become true." That friend suddenly began to call all. Those girls gathered. She told about joke to all. They all wanted to give try so they all got out of bus and went back to mall. Nisha didn't like this idea. Nisha " Are you all going to do that madness?" Tina "Come on Nisha. You did for fun. Now let us enjoy too." " Tina is right. Don't be spoil sport." Nisha smiled. She didn't want to be called mad. Nisha " Fine. Let's go. But remember it is game not truth." Other friend " No one is so stupid." Then they all went near that game machine and all took one ball. Then they all went back to catch bus. Nisha was so tense since she was getting late. Finally when she reached home, her Mom managed to call her at least 25 times and it was not good news. When she entered home, Mom was very angry. She had to promise that she would not go out like this again. She agreed on that moment. She knew that she could convince her Mom when situation would arise. She went to sleep peacefully.
When Nisha wake up next day, she started searching for job opportunities. It had become her work now a days. She kept searching for jobs. Then she sent application. She went even to many interview but she never selected. She always felt so depressed due to it. But she knew that she had to keep trying. She would manage a job one day. She started searching for opportunities. Soon she sensed that she tried all. It was so upsetting. Then her Mom came in room. Mom " Your Uncle was telling yesterday that he might manage a job of cashier cum sale girl in mall where you went ." Nisha was so shocked. She didn't want to go back there. Nisha " Mom I am a graduated person." " So? Those shop need graduate too." " But I want some good job." " I know but this is just beginning. You need to start from somewhere then you might manage to move ahead. It is not easy to find such a job. I am not telling to work their permanently just start it for experience. " Nisha was so frustrated. She knew that better job was never going to enter in picture. She had to adjust with this one only. But she knew that she had to try. Nisha " Fine Mom. I will give it try." Her Mom smiled. She slowly explained that she supposed to work in shoe shop. Nisha was so shocked. She didn't know much about shoes and she didn't like idea of helping people to try their shoes." "Mom can't I get some other job?" " Well at this moment this is only job available. Don't worry we will find some better job after some time." She nodded. So Nisha got ready in her best way. When she entered in mall, she suddenly began to shiver. She sensed that this mall kept haunting her. She started searching for that shoe shop. She was so shocked when she noticed that shoe shop was located just before that game machine. She knew that her fear was senseless but she kept feeling it. Then she went ahead. Her Boss told her to change her clothes and wear uniform of trainee. She did it. She sensed that salary was good. She was confused at beginning but step by step she got used to it. Few customers were so irritating but some were even nice. When she was selling shoes, she received call. Her Boss looked at her with anger. She saw that it was Tina. She had to take it. She requested one moment to customer and told Tina not to call again. Then her Boss ordered her to put mobile on silent or switch off. She put it on silent and kept selling shoes. She was so tired in this process when she saw all her friends were standing around game machine. She was so confused. She saw one girl was even crying. She wanted to ask what happened but she couldn't go there. So she decided that she could send message. She started to message her friend. She wrote " I am working in shoe shop." Tina must had read it. Since she looked shocked then she looked at shop. Nisha gave her smile. Tina slowly looked around. She started telling to some other girl. Nisha wanted to talk with them. But she knew that she couldn't. It was first day of her job. She saw all her friends were going away. They kept looking in her direction. She knew that there must be some bad news. But she needed to wait until lunch time. Their was another boy in shoe shop who was senior salesman his name was Jay. He must had sensed those girls were waiting for her. He called her as soon as Boss went away. " You can't go out but you can make call to your friends from here." She was so happy. She called Tina " What happened?" " This is long story. We all had some experience." " Regarding what?" " That game machine!!" Nisha was so shocked. " It can't be true. There must be some scientific explanation to this." " No. I don't think so. At least we don't find one. Worst thing had happened to Rashmi. She had car in that ball and her Dad had car accident. He died on the spot. She blamed game machine for it. She was even talking against you." " But I tried to stop." " Yes I know. We all know. We all told her same thing. But then she began to think that this is some witch craft trap." " I think she is acting mad due to her father's death." " It is possible. But this is scary too. She wanted to meet you. In fact every one wanted to meet you. They wanted to know why you took that ball on that day?" "Well. Since I felt strange feel from wind to take it..It is hard to explain." " Rashmi call it witch craft. She said that game machine first used evil magic on you then it started to use all." "Stop it. You are scaring me. I am working in front of it." Then Nisha saw her Boss. Nisha " Bye Boss is coming. I will talk with you later." She disconnected all. After that her Boss stayed in shop entire time so she couldn't able to call any one. It was so horrible. Her worst nightmare was becoming true. She wanted to avoid looking that game machine which gave toys but her eyes kept going towards it. So many innocent and cute kids were taking balls from it. It was so scary. She kept forcing herself to sell shoe. At end of day her Boss was happy with her and she was kept on job on trial basis. All her colleagues told her that she got job. Since their Boss never fired a trainee, she didn't understand what she supposed to feel. But she didn't feel happy at all. She didn't want to become shoe sales girl but she had become one and they were even claiming that she would become best one day. She didn't understand it destiny but then she didn't want to even understand it. That game machine was horrible thing. She just kept looking on other side instead of watching it.
Nisha was so tense while selling shoes. She went out. Then she saw that game machine. It looked like normal machine. She saw many kids were trying to take ball out of it. She knew that it was just normal game. But on that day she felt that it was something different. Then suddenly Tina appeared with all friends. Tina " This machine can tell future." " Impossible!!" " It did. It show me a man who is singing. I went to concert. " " Your Mom love music so you go to concert many times." " It show me dog. I was walking on road when a dog started barking at me. I just ran. I was about to go under car but that driver stopped it on time." " This ball saved you?" " Well sort of." " Or it might encourage dog to bark on her." They all looked at each other. Tina " I think it just shows future and it don't have part in creating future." They all nodded. Nisha was so confused. At beginning this game looked nice. But she didn't like it now. She began to feel fear due to it. She knew that she needed a job. But she couldn't work before that evil machine. She decided that she needed to move away from it. Nisha " I can't work here." Tina " You are right. It might be risky." Other friend " We can't tell properly what is wrong with this machine. It might have some evil soul hidden inside." Nisha started laughing. She didn't want to but she couldn't stop herself. Tina " Do you feel this is joke?" " Do you feel this is logical? I mean I can't tell my Mom that I am quitting my job since I am scared of a game which drop toy of children which show destiny and destiny of one friend was wrong." " She is right. Her destiny was not attached to Rashmi. She could do her job." All other friends started nodding. Job was most precious thing in eyes of every girl so they all felt that she must keep it. She was so happy. But then she started to look at that machine. She started to feel scared. Nisha " Let's go away from this machine." They all nodded. They all sat in cafe to eat snacks. But they were no longer group of friends who were enjoying themselves that one day managed to change them. They all were scared. Nisha " I don't believe this is possible. But if this is possible then we have to do something." Tina"Yes we have to destroy game machine." " What? That machine didn't belong to us. We can't destroy it. Cops will take us to jail." Every one seemed to agree on this. Then suddenly Rashmi came there. Nisha shocked to see her. She was clearly looking ill. She sensed one thing that they could not move ahead on Rashmi's judgement. But she could clearly saw all her friends seemed to be totally convinced by Rashmi. Rashmi started talking " This Machine is evil. You can see how did it destroyed my family. It will do same thing with her." Nisha " But all intuitions were not bad if intuitions were good no need to feel fear." Rashmi gave her strange look. Rashmi " You were the person who first introduced that game. Sometimes I feel you are way to introduce that evil to us." They all started looking at her in strange way. Nisha suddenly began to remember stories about burned woman as witches. She didn't want to be punished that way. Nisha " I don't mean to support that game machine. I just felt we might ignore it. I mean I am scared of that machine. I even don't want to go near that game machine." Suddenly Rashmi looked convinced. Rashmi " No..no Nisha I fully respect your thoughts. In fact this proves that you are out of influence of that machine now. You don't want to fall in that trap. I know it might influence you again. I feel you must not even look at it." All nodded. They all gave sad look to her. Rashmi " Nisha don't look so upset. I am not blaming you for anything. You are totally right. In fact in this condition I wish that you must leave this room immediately. We don't want you to listen to us. That evil machine might learn it from you." Nisha nodded and left room immediately. She just wanted to stay away from them. She sensed one thing that something was totally wrong with them. She knew that she might had started it but she lost her faith in middle. She couldn't believe that this machine would have any thing evil hidden inside it. She wouldn't believe it could manage to change things for any one. She sensed one thing that something was changed in her since that day when she saw that machine. She managed to become more practical. When she was walking, she suddenly sensed security was following her. She felt so scared. She was about to run when that security called her. She had to stop. Security " Sorry to disturb you but I heard you arguing with those girls. What is wrong? Why did you all kept gathering around that toy machine?" Nisha was totally confused now. She knew truth and she knew that she had to tell it specially since security was asking it to her. But she didn't want to put her friends in trouble. Nisha"Nothing important. They just feel that this machine can tell fortune. So we were playing with it for fun." Security started laughing. Nisha went ahead. But she began to feel scared. She knew that now security was surely going to keep watch on that machine. She felt that security was going to caught them all red handed way. She felt so tense. That machine was so costly. She didn't want any criminal record on her name. She was so upset. She took bus. She just wanted to go home as soon as possible she needed an advice.
Nisha was so scared when she entered in house. She called her Mom and told her everything. Mom" You can't do that your Uncle. He kept full faith on you and gave that job to you." " I know Mom but I can't back stab my friends." " Fine. No need to tell security. I will tell this to Rashmi's Mom." " Mom stop this. This way they all started to blame us." Mom " Nisha!! We need to take some step. We can't let them destroy such a thing for fun. Their plan might manage to harm others too." Then suddenly Nisha's mobile rang. She started shivering when she noticed that it was Rashmi. Rashimi" Did you tell everything to your Mom?" Nisha began to stammer and shiver. She began to feel so tense. Nisha " We can't just break that machine." " Why? Because it belonged to your Uncle's master plan. He did all. He set that machine then send you to us so that we can remain trapped. You are nothing but puppet on chain. Your Uncle and Mom are doing all. They wanted money and job for you. They wanted every thing for you. But for that they need to take away other girl's destiny. You managed to take away others destiny and add it to your future." " Stop this nonsense. This is not some movie. In real life such things didn't happen." Then Rashimi started laughing. Rashmi " If fiction is not possible then how did I manage to know timing when you are going to talk with your Mom." "That is stroke of luck." Then suddenly Tina's voice entered " You can't cheat me like that? I was your best friend." " I don't cheat you at all. Try to understand. You have to trust me not Rashmi. You know very well. This job was compromise. I don't want to do it. Then why did I do so many things for it?" Tina didn't speak any thing. One thing was clear that she was confused. Then Rashmi screamed "She managed to spread her power on Tina too. Just take hold of Tina." Nisha felt so scared. She screamed " Where are you?" Tina screamed " In parking lot.." Without second thought Nisha called emergency number. She told them about all. Then she sat in home waiting for call. It was worst day for her. Nisha and her Mom kept waiting. Then they called Tina's Mom and told her every thing. Tina's Mom " Why did you let my girl stay there alone?" Nisha " Auntie I didn't she did it herself. She didn't believe me. I kept telling her that this is not right." Nisha's Mom " Stop blaming my daughter. She at least tried to do right thing but look at your daughter. She was supporting those mad criminals." " Mom stop this. Tina is nice girl. Rashmi forced her." " Stop lying. I heard her trusting Rashmi and abusing you." It all kept going on and on loudly on speaker button. Finally Nisha's Dad came out. " What happened?" Then suddenly her Uncle called her Mom on mobile. Uncle " My god what's wrong those girls who were friends of Nisha? It is horrible the way they tried to destroy mall and harassed Tina." " What did they do?" " Just see on TV news." They were telling about strange group of girls who was cult in mall's parking lot. They kept telling how did Tina saved by timely interference of mall security. Then Security who talked with Nisha came ahead. Security " I have suspected them. I had asked one girl who worked for us. She didn't tell me entire truth. She just said that they consider it fortune telling machine. I just felt they might want to steal it so I kept watch on them. Then they went always from camera sight in washroom. From there they found some way to go down. It was totally craziness stunt. They managed to climb down. When I was about to search entire mall, Cops told me location. I went there immediately. They managed to hurt one girl little but she is fine now." Nisha was so shocked when she saw Tina in shawl. Tina's hair were cut in strange way. There were scratch marks on her cheeks. Nisha began to shiver. Then finally psychiatrist entered. "These girls were obeying Rashmi but actually they all wanted to hurt others. It happened since they wanted to prove themselves. They were trying to get job but nothing work.." Anchor " Many people are unemployed in India they didn't act this way." " Yes. They normally get depression. But Rashmi had paranoid disorder. Socially it turned in such way that she started acting like maniac patient. Her brain was still perfect. She slowly started using it to convince there. At beginning they didn't but when they didn't got jobs then they got depressed. Their mind started to become weak. Then Nisha got job and Rashmi's Dad died. Rashmi had worst experience of life. She wanted to revenge. She had first chosen Nisha as target. But then she felt that she had some evil power. It was nonsense but she believed it. Then she had chosen Tina as target who was soft and weak. Tina was lucky to survive." After this Nisha closed news. She didn't want to here it further. Since she knew that now she had to face entire drama, her Mom called Uncle. It started from it. But she was glad that no one wanted to punish her since she managed to stop it on time. She decided one thing superstition was not game. She needed to keep control on it.
The End
Nisha went out with her friends in mall. It was perfect day for her. She started chatting about many things. They were discussing dresses and movies. They were discussing about boys too. But Nisha was not interested in that chapter much. She was not interested in any boy from class room. Few boys were nice but no one was smart enough to impress her. Same thing apply to her best friend Tina. Tina" I don't understand why are they discussing those boys. Frankly I want a boy who was more intelligent and settled." " Sure some one loaded with money." They both started laughing. But this was truth of their life. They knew that they both wanted prince charming but they were not going to get it. So they were happy to settle for nice kind boy who was settled enough to provide for family. They might like a car in house but then it was not must. But they wanted a nice big house. But those boys who were studying with them didn't earn salary so they were not going to take risk of getting involved. They didn't want to reject a boy or broke some heart since that boy couldn't earn enough. But they also didn't want to marry a boy who forced them to earn. They didn't want to carry financial burden of entire family. So they decided that it was too early to decide about boys. Instead of boys they started discussing about TV shows and it's characters. It was safe area. They could admire TV star without getting proposal from him or without breaking heart for rejecting it. They started talking about story line of that serial when Nisha located that game machine. It was nice childish machine. She supposed to put coin in it then one toy would come out. She knew that it was childish but still she loved to store them. She had their collection. She loved collecting them. Then she might gift them some one if need arise. She had gifted few to kids of her relatives. Those kids always jumped with joy and parents kept saying no but still those kids didn't seem ready to return them. Finally kids won and those toys went home. Nisha always enjoyed smile of kids. She decided that she needed those toys to impress kids. It was her specialty whenever kids came in home she was that person who supposed to entertain them. All kids just managed to fall in love with her. She liked it normally. But sometimes she also wanted to relax and talk with adults. Specially when kids were too naughty. Some kids were pain in neck. Specialty her Uncle's grand son. Her father had one elder brother and two younger sisters. He always gave special respect to his elder brother. So whenever his family entered in home they were supposed to be treated like king. Nisha always hated it. Since her Auntie never talked nicely with her Mom. She always kept telling her that she had two daughter and it was not enough. She must try to give birth to a son. It was so irritating. She hated it when her Auntie started describing to Mom how useful her son were to her. She was so upset. She tried her best to help her Mom. Once she talked with Mom. " Mom do you feel I am less because I can't stay with you?" Mom started laughing. Mom " Who gave you guarantee her sons will stay with her? Come on sweet heart she is just snob. Her son might go to abroad or stay in different city. It is possible that they might need to buy different flat too. Their house is not big enough." Nisha nodded but it hurt. Now this Auntie came with her grand son who didn't stay with her. Her Son stayed in different house. It was clear that her son fought with her. But Nisha didn't blame her cousin that Auntie was horrible. But still whenever she came, Nisha needed to attend that small child who was too rude. He kept demanding then he even kept insulting. He didn't have any manners. She felt that she needed toys for him. She decided that she must put one coin inside and get that toy. Nisha " Stop Tina I want to take toy." Tina started laughing. Nisha also joined her. Nisha " Come on. You know me. I am still small girl." They both smiled and stood near that machine. It had many small toys in those plastic balls. It was game of luck. Nisha felt strange feeling like some wind was telling her something. She decided that she must close eyes and take out one toy. She did it. Then she took that ball in hand. It seemed like some crystal ball which show her fortune. She opened it. Inside it she saw a nice bunny. She didn't understand it. But then other friends started calling them so they ran ahead.
Nisha knew that it was normal trip. But she was so excited about it. She just loved that plastic ball. She wanted to open it. Nisha " I just want to open this ball." Tina " Why? What is so exciting about it?" " I just feel that it have my destiny hidden inside it. I can sense it." Tina started laughing. Nisha gave her angry look. Tina " I thought you are joking!!" " I am not." Nisha " Forget it. If you don't believe me." Then suddenly other friends started calling. Tina " Let's go now. We will talk about it later." Nisha nodded. But she suddenly went in far away corner. She knew that she needed to see that toy. She slowly opened it. She saw that it had small plastic boat. Now this was something useless. She knew that she couldn't see a plastic boat in mall. She was not inside water park. Then Tina suddenly came from behind. Tina " What is it? Show me." Tina took that small plastic boat out of her hand. She started watching it. Tina " This is a plastic boat? Let's see if we see this kind of boat today." " Tina it is impossible. I have managed to believe too much in fantasies. I might need to change choice of my books." Tina " Come on. Let's search for it." " No we must not. If we need to see it then it will come before us automatically." Tina nodded. It was clear that Tina was enjoying entire stunt. Nisha also smiled happily. It was perfect. They began this thing as game. Nisha didn't want it to be treated seriously otherwise it seemed like madness. Nisha started moving ahead on each step with care. There was not any plastic boat. She was little disappointed. But then she knew that it was not going to appear. Tina " I can't see a plastic boat." Nisha " It was just a game not truth. I can't see future in that game machine of kids." Tina " I know. Let's forget it. We must enjoy now." Then they all went to see rides. They took few rides then they went for shopping when one girl from their group started talking about a water park behind mall. Nisha was confused. It was not possible. They couldn't go to water park now. Nisha " But it will take time." " No..no..it is just behind." " But we need clothes." " Stop! worrying Tina. They give them on hire and I have few extra clothes too." One girl " I don't want to wear rental one." That girl looked frustrated. But other girls started supporting her. Then suddenly Nisha found shop of suitable clothes for water park. Nisha " There is one shop. You can buy it." Then they went there and soon they started to go in water park. Tina sat near Nisha and started laughing. Other friend noticed it. Friend " Tina do you really wanted to visit water park so much. You look so happy." Tina just nodded. It was not about water park.

When they started to go home, Tina came near Nisha. Tina " I heard that some people can see future. It might be possible that you have that power." " No..No it was not about me. I feel it is about that game machine. It was telling future." Then suddenly their one friend heard it. Friend " Come on just say it. I was observing you two for long time. You have some secret. Just tell it to me." Tina looked at Nisha nervously. Nisha"Nothing important just normal things." Friend " Like some boy? Are you involved with some one?" Tina " Stop this nonsense. We were just playing one game." " Game? What game?" " Actually Nisha took out a ball from game machine which had small toys and we consider it fortune teller. It showed us a plastic boat and we assumed it can't be truth but we landed in water park." That friend looked confused then she started laughing. " You two joke in wonderful way." Nisha also joined that laugh. Nisha " That game was joke so we were laughing when it become true." That friend suddenly began to call all. Those girls gathered. She told about joke to all. They all wanted to give try so they all got out of bus and went back to mall. Nisha didn't like this idea. Nisha " Are you all going to do that madness?" Tina "Come on Nisha. You did for fun. Now let us enjoy too." " Tina is right. Don't be spoil sport." Nisha smiled. She didn't want to be called mad. Nisha " Fine. Let's go. But remember it is game not truth." Other friend " No one is so stupid." Then they all went near that game machine and all took one ball. Then they all went back to catch bus. Nisha was so tense since she was getting late. Finally when she reached home, her Mom managed to call her at least 25 times and it was not good news. When she entered home, Mom was very angry. She had to promise that she would not go out like this again. She agreed on that moment. She knew that she could convince her Mom when situation would arise. She went to sleep peacefully.
When Nisha wake up next day, she started searching for job opportunities. It had become her work now a days. She kept searching for jobs. Then she sent application. She went even to many interview but she never selected. She always felt so depressed due to it. But she knew that she had to keep trying. She would manage a job one day. She started searching for opportunities. Soon she sensed that she tried all. It was so upsetting. Then her Mom came in room. Mom " Your Uncle was telling yesterday that he might manage a job of cashier cum sale girl in mall where you went ." Nisha was so shocked. She didn't want to go back there. Nisha " Mom I am a graduated person." " So? Those shop need graduate too." " But I want some good job." " I know but this is just beginning. You need to start from somewhere then you might manage to move ahead. It is not easy to find such a job. I am not telling to work their permanently just start it for experience. " Nisha was so frustrated. She knew that better job was never going to enter in picture. She had to adjust with this one only. But she knew that she had to try. Nisha " Fine Mom. I will give it try." Her Mom smiled. She slowly explained that she supposed to work in shoe shop. Nisha was so shocked. She didn't know much about shoes and she didn't like idea of helping people to try their shoes." "Mom can't I get some other job?" " Well at this moment this is only job available. Don't worry we will find some better job after some time." She nodded. So Nisha got ready in her best way. When she entered in mall, she suddenly began to shiver. She sensed that this mall kept haunting her. She started searching for that shoe shop. She was so shocked when she noticed that shoe shop was located just before that game machine. She knew that her fear was senseless but she kept feeling it. Then she went ahead. Her Boss told her to change her clothes and wear uniform of trainee. She did it. She sensed that salary was good. She was confused at beginning but step by step she got used to it. Few customers were so irritating but some were even nice. When she was selling shoes, she received call. Her Boss looked at her with anger. She saw that it was Tina. She had to take it. She requested one moment to customer and told Tina not to call again. Then her Boss ordered her to put mobile on silent or switch off. She put it on silent and kept selling shoes. She was so tired in this process when she saw all her friends were standing around game machine. She was so confused. She saw one girl was even crying. She wanted to ask what happened but she couldn't go there. So she decided that she could send message. She started to message her friend. She wrote " I am working in shoe shop." Tina must had read it. Since she looked shocked then she looked at shop. Nisha gave her smile. Tina slowly looked around. She started telling to some other girl. Nisha wanted to talk with them. But she knew that she couldn't. It was first day of her job. She saw all her friends were going away. They kept looking in her direction. She knew that there must be some bad news. But she needed to wait until lunch time. Their was another boy in shoe shop who was senior salesman his name was Jay. He must had sensed those girls were waiting for her. He called her as soon as Boss went away. " You can't go out but you can make call to your friends from here." She was so happy. She called Tina " What happened?" " This is long story. We all had some experience." " Regarding what?" " That game machine!!" Nisha was so shocked. " It can't be true. There must be some scientific explanation to this." " No. I don't think so. At least we don't find one. Worst thing had happened to Rashmi. She had car in that ball and her Dad had car accident. He died on the spot. She blamed game machine for it. She was even talking against you." " But I tried to stop." " Yes I know. We all know. We all told her same thing. But then she began to think that this is some witch craft trap." " I think she is acting mad due to her father's death." " It is possible. But this is scary too. She wanted to meet you. In fact every one wanted to meet you. They wanted to know why you took that ball on that day?" "Well. Since I felt strange feel from wind to take it..It is hard to explain." " Rashmi call it witch craft. She said that game machine first used evil magic on you then it started to use all." "Stop it. You are scaring me. I am working in front of it." Then Nisha saw her Boss. Nisha " Bye Boss is coming. I will talk with you later." She disconnected all. After that her Boss stayed in shop entire time so she couldn't able to call any one. It was so horrible. Her worst nightmare was becoming true. She wanted to avoid looking that game machine which gave toys but her eyes kept going towards it. So many innocent and cute kids were taking balls from it. It was so scary. She kept forcing herself to sell shoe. At end of day her Boss was happy with her and she was kept on job on trial basis. All her colleagues told her that she got job. Since their Boss never fired a trainee, she didn't understand what she supposed to feel. But she didn't feel happy at all. She didn't want to become shoe sales girl but she had become one and they were even claiming that she would become best one day. She didn't understand it destiny but then she didn't want to even understand it. That game machine was horrible thing. She just kept looking on other side instead of watching it.
Nisha was so tense while selling shoes. She went out. Then she saw that game machine. It looked like normal machine. She saw many kids were trying to take ball out of it. She knew that it was just normal game. But on that day she felt that it was something different. Then suddenly Tina appeared with all friends. Tina " This machine can tell future." " Impossible!!" " It did. It show me a man who is singing. I went to concert. " " Your Mom love music so you go to concert many times." " It show me dog. I was walking on road when a dog started barking at me. I just ran. I was about to go under car but that driver stopped it on time." " This ball saved you?" " Well sort of." " Or it might encourage dog to bark on her." They all looked at each other. Tina " I think it just shows future and it don't have part in creating future." They all nodded. Nisha was so confused. At beginning this game looked nice. But she didn't like it now. She began to feel fear due to it. She knew that she needed a job. But she couldn't work before that evil machine. She decided that she needed to move away from it. Nisha " I can't work here." Tina " You are right. It might be risky." Other friend " We can't tell properly what is wrong with this machine. It might have some evil soul hidden inside." Nisha started laughing. She didn't want to but she couldn't stop herself. Tina " Do you feel this is joke?" " Do you feel this is logical? I mean I can't tell my Mom that I am quitting my job since I am scared of a game which drop toy of children which show destiny and destiny of one friend was wrong." " She is right. Her destiny was not attached to Rashmi. She could do her job." All other friends started nodding. Job was most precious thing in eyes of every girl so they all felt that she must keep it. She was so happy. But then she started to look at that machine. She started to feel scared. Nisha " Let's go away from this machine." They all nodded. They all sat in cafe to eat snacks. But they were no longer group of friends who were enjoying themselves that one day managed to change them. They all were scared. Nisha " I don't believe this is possible. But if this is possible then we have to do something." Tina"Yes we have to destroy game machine." " What? That machine didn't belong to us. We can't destroy it. Cops will take us to jail." Every one seemed to agree on this. Then suddenly Rashmi came there. Nisha shocked to see her. She was clearly looking ill. She sensed one thing that they could not move ahead on Rashmi's judgement. But she could clearly saw all her friends seemed to be totally convinced by Rashmi. Rashmi started talking " This Machine is evil. You can see how did it destroyed my family. It will do same thing with her." Nisha " But all intuitions were not bad if intuitions were good no need to feel fear." Rashmi gave her strange look. Rashmi " You were the person who first introduced that game. Sometimes I feel you are way to introduce that evil to us." They all started looking at her in strange way. Nisha suddenly began to remember stories about burned woman as witches. She didn't want to be punished that way. Nisha " I don't mean to support that game machine. I just felt we might ignore it. I mean I am scared of that machine. I even don't want to go near that game machine." Suddenly Rashmi looked convinced. Rashmi " No..no Nisha I fully respect your thoughts. In fact this proves that you are out of influence of that machine now. You don't want to fall in that trap. I know it might influence you again. I feel you must not even look at it." All nodded. They all gave sad look to her. Rashmi " Nisha don't look so upset. I am not blaming you for anything. You are totally right. In fact in this condition I wish that you must leave this room immediately. We don't want you to listen to us. That evil machine might learn it from you." Nisha nodded and left room immediately. She just wanted to stay away from them. She sensed one thing that something was totally wrong with them. She knew that she might had started it but she lost her faith in middle. She couldn't believe that this machine would have any thing evil hidden inside it. She wouldn't believe it could manage to change things for any one. She sensed one thing that something was changed in her since that day when she saw that machine. She managed to become more practical. When she was walking, she suddenly sensed security was following her. She felt so scared. She was about to run when that security called her. She had to stop. Security " Sorry to disturb you but I heard you arguing with those girls. What is wrong? Why did you all kept gathering around that toy machine?" Nisha was totally confused now. She knew truth and she knew that she had to tell it specially since security was asking it to her. But she didn't want to put her friends in trouble. Nisha"Nothing important. They just feel that this machine can tell fortune. So we were playing with it for fun." Security started laughing. Nisha went ahead. But she began to feel scared. She knew that now security was surely going to keep watch on that machine. She felt that security was going to caught them all red handed way. She felt so tense. That machine was so costly. She didn't want any criminal record on her name. She was so upset. She took bus. She just wanted to go home as soon as possible she needed an advice.
Nisha was so scared when she entered in house. She called her Mom and told her everything. Mom" You can't do that your Uncle. He kept full faith on you and gave that job to you." " I know Mom but I can't back stab my friends." " Fine. No need to tell security. I will tell this to Rashmi's Mom." " Mom stop this. This way they all started to blame us." Mom " Nisha!! We need to take some step. We can't let them destroy such a thing for fun. Their plan might manage to harm others too." Then suddenly Nisha's mobile rang. She started shivering when she noticed that it was Rashmi. Rashimi" Did you tell everything to your Mom?" Nisha began to stammer and shiver. She began to feel so tense. Nisha " We can't just break that machine." " Why? Because it belonged to your Uncle's master plan. He did all. He set that machine then send you to us so that we can remain trapped. You are nothing but puppet on chain. Your Uncle and Mom are doing all. They wanted money and job for you. They wanted every thing for you. But for that they need to take away other girl's destiny. You managed to take away others destiny and add it to your future." " Stop this nonsense. This is not some movie. In real life such things didn't happen." Then Rashimi started laughing. Rashmi " If fiction is not possible then how did I manage to know timing when you are going to talk with your Mom." "That is stroke of luck." Then suddenly Tina's voice entered " You can't cheat me like that? I was your best friend." " I don't cheat you at all. Try to understand. You have to trust me not Rashmi. You know very well. This job was compromise. I don't want to do it. Then why did I do so many things for it?" Tina didn't speak any thing. One thing was clear that she was confused. Then Rashmi screamed "She managed to spread her power on Tina too. Just take hold of Tina." Nisha felt so scared. She screamed " Where are you?" Tina screamed " In parking lot.." Without second thought Nisha called emergency number. She told them about all. Then she sat in home waiting for call. It was worst day for her. Nisha and her Mom kept waiting. Then they called Tina's Mom and told her every thing. Tina's Mom " Why did you let my girl stay there alone?" Nisha " Auntie I didn't she did it herself. She didn't believe me. I kept telling her that this is not right." Nisha's Mom " Stop blaming my daughter. She at least tried to do right thing but look at your daughter. She was supporting those mad criminals." " Mom stop this. Tina is nice girl. Rashmi forced her." " Stop lying. I heard her trusting Rashmi and abusing you." It all kept going on and on loudly on speaker button. Finally Nisha's Dad came out. " What happened?" Then suddenly her Uncle called her Mom on mobile. Uncle " My god what's wrong those girls who were friends of Nisha? It is horrible the way they tried to destroy mall and harassed Tina." " What did they do?" " Just see on TV news." They were telling about strange group of girls who was cult in mall's parking lot. They kept telling how did Tina saved by timely interference of mall security. Then Security who talked with Nisha came ahead. Security " I have suspected them. I had asked one girl who worked for us. She didn't tell me entire truth. She just said that they consider it fortune telling machine. I just felt they might want to steal it so I kept watch on them. Then they went always from camera sight in washroom. From there they found some way to go down. It was totally craziness stunt. They managed to climb down. When I was about to search entire mall, Cops told me location. I went there immediately. They managed to hurt one girl little but she is fine now." Nisha was so shocked when she saw Tina in shawl. Tina's hair were cut in strange way. There were scratch marks on her cheeks. Nisha began to shiver. Then finally psychiatrist entered. "These girls were obeying Rashmi but actually they all wanted to hurt others. It happened since they wanted to prove themselves. They were trying to get job but nothing work.." Anchor " Many people are unemployed in India they didn't act this way." " Yes. They normally get depression. But Rashmi had paranoid disorder. Socially it turned in such way that she started acting like maniac patient. Her brain was still perfect. She slowly started using it to convince there. At beginning they didn't but when they didn't got jobs then they got depressed. Their mind started to become weak. Then Nisha got job and Rashmi's Dad died. Rashmi had worst experience of life. She wanted to revenge. She had first chosen Nisha as target. But then she felt that she had some evil power. It was nonsense but she believed it. Then she had chosen Tina as target who was soft and weak. Tina was lucky to survive." After this Nisha closed news. She didn't want to here it further. Since she knew that now she had to face entire drama, her Mom called Uncle. It started from it. But she was glad that no one wanted to punish her since she managed to stop it on time. She decided one thing superstition was not game. She needed to keep control on it.
The End
