Kaali Billi Ka Badla – Ek Shraapit Horror Kahani Jo Aapka Khoon Jama Degi

Mera naam Raghav hai aur aaj main tumhein ek aisi kahani sunane jaa raha hoon jo tumhare hosh uda degi. Main is waqt bahut ghabraya hua hoon, kyunki jo kuch bhi mere saath hua, woh sirf ek kahani nahi, ek sach hai. Sab kuch 2018 ke December mein shuru hua jab main apne purane gaon Bhairavpur wapas gaya. Sheher ki bhaag-daud se thak gaya tha aur sukoon ki talash thi. Gaon ka mahaul purana tha, lekin log naye ho chuke the. Mere maa-baap ke guzar jaane ke baad se main kabhi wapas nahi gaya tha. Ghar waise ka waisa tha, mitti ki deewarein, purani lakdi ka darwaza jo har baar chillata tha jab khulta. Lekin is baar kuch alag tha. Ghar ke peeche ek jhadi thi jahan bachpan mein khela karta tha. Woh jhadi ab aur bhi ghani ho gayi thi, hamesha andhera sa rehta tha wahan. Pehli raat jab main sota, kuch awaazein aayi. Aise jaise koi panje se darwaza kharoch raha ho. Main dar gaya. Darwaza khola toh ek kaali billi baithi thi. Uski aankhein laal, jaise khoon se bhari ho. Us raat main soti nahi saka. Subah jaake Shyamlal kaka se poocha. Jaise hi billi ka naam liya, unka chehra peela pad gaya. Unhone kaha, "Beta, woh billi nahi, ek bad-dua hai. 40 saal pehle Mohini naam ki ek aurat ko jinda jala diya gaya tha. Usne shraap diya tha ki woh kaali billi ke roop mein wapas aayegi aur badla legi." Us din ke baad se har dus saal mein ek kaali billi dikhti thi aur jahan dikhti thi wahan maut ya paagalpan hota tha. Main samjha yeh sirf kahani hogi. Lekin teesri raat, jab andhera chhaya tha, bijli gayi thi, ekdum se darwaza khula. Billi ne mujhe dekha, uski aankhon mein sirf nafrat thi. Woh chalang laga ke mere upar aa gayi, lekin us waqt mujhe ek aurat ki cheekh sunai di, "Tujhe bhi jalna hoga jaise tune mujhe jalaya tha!" Main behosh ho gaya. Jab aankh khuli toh kapdon pe khoon tha, lekin chot kahin nahi. Ghar mein har jagah panjon ke nishaan the. Roz koi na koi cheez hilti, awaaz aati, darwaza khulta band hota. Main ek tantrik ke paas gaya, Rudranath baba. Unhone kaha, "Woh badla lene aayi hai. Tujhe uska antim sanskaar karna hoga." Main us jhadi mein gaya jahan use jinda jalaya gaya tha. Wahan ab bhi mitti jalti si mehsoos hoti thi. Baba ne poora vidhi karwaya, mantra padhe, lekin us raat kuch aur hi hua. Billi ne poora ghar ghera. Har kona laal roshni se bhar gaya. Baba bola, "Use jalane ke liye agni ko paak karna hoga." Main ne himmat jod ke ek diya jalaya aur uske aage us billi ki aankhon mein aankhon daal kar khada raha. Uske muh se ek aurat nikli, jale hue jism ke saath. "Main Mohini hoon, aur tu bhi usi nasl ka hai jo mujhe jala ke chali gayi." Usne mera haath pakda, jala diya. Main cheekha. Baba mantra padte rahe. Aakhri mein jab diya bhadak utha, toh woh aurat jale hue roop mein cheekhti hui hawa mein udd gayi. Subah sab kuch shaant tha. Ghar mein koi nishaan nahi tha. Lekin mere haath par ab bhi ek jalne ka nishaan hai. Main sheher wapas aa gaya, lekin har raat jab bijli jaati hai, mujhe uski aankhon ka laal rang yaad aata hai. Agar tum kabhi Bhairavpur jao, aur koi kaali billi dekho, toh samajh lena... uska badla abhi poora nahi hua.
