I had never seen such a bird. Its whole body was full of black hair. Seeing its red eyes, I started running away in terror. The verse of Ayatul Kursi continued on my tongue and my eyes filled with tears.

The month of December was going on, winter was at its peak, far and wide everything was covered in white, still snow was falling like cotton, intermittently, the sound of the branches of the pine trees cracking was heard, a deep silence reached the soul. I was creating a sensation. The spacious mud room in the center of which was burning firewood and around it we were all sitting around Dadi.
Grandmother was turning the pages of the past with her eyes fixed on the burning wood. After some time, she seemed to be clearing her throat. Apa was much older than me, Sanobar Apa would sometimes come before the azaan and sometimes immediately after the azaan with a pot of water and hit the wall of our house with the pot, since my bed was next to the wall, so I got up immediately. She would go, pick up her dishes and come out.
There was deep darkness everywhere and the shrill sound of the jackals was heart wrenching. With a lot of fear in our hearts, we walked slowly home, because in those days there were only one shop and we had to walk a long distance to bring water. It had to be fixed. If there was a little plowing in the bushes, our hearts would have jumped in Uchhal's throat. Sanobar Apa was the owner of quite strong nerves, while I was quite timid. I had to fetch water because I had an old mother-in-law in the house. I had three children, one daughter and two sons, and my husband used to go out to earn a living and would return after months.
Sanobar Apa used to be in the front while Sanobar Apa was in the back and sometimes I clearly felt that someone else was walking behind me. To never go after anything no matter what you see and never look back no matter what you hear.
I wrote his words on my heart, I used to close my eyes tightly when I heard footsteps behind me and start reciting Ayatul Kursi in my heart, but when I wanted to sit down after a long journey, I did so. It felt as if someone was sitting right next to me, and when I looked around, I could see nothing but darkness. Our day was about to come and go. One day, I heard that the wall was being beaten. I was shocked to see it, I felt like it was midnight, I went out and saw that there was no sign of Sanobar Apa far away. I thought that he was not far away. And I will reach them. The sound of the jackals stopped my steps for a moment. I started to run but I could not reach them.

With bad breathing, I walked the distance and when I reached the scene, a sensation ran through me. Cypress was not there. I stood a little higher and looked down where the water well was. It felt like someone was pouring buckets of water. Later it was pouring over me. I didn't think it necessary to go down and turned the bucket of water upside down and sat on it, but after sitting for a while, the sound of water was still coming. A strange fear was felt.
When I felt someone behind me, my body trembled. I looked back trembling, and there was no one's name or sign. Suddenly, I was shocked. There was no end to my surprise. A strange bird was sitting on the branch of the tree staring at me. It was a strange kind of bird. I had never seen such a bird. Its whole body was full of black hair. Seeing its red eyes, I ran away in terror. I started reciting Ayat al-Kursi, my tongue continued and my eyes filled with tears.
I did not consider it appropriate to stop on the road even for a minute and reached my house and reached towards the door when Sanobar Apa opened the door of her house and came out. She wanted to open the bag, but she could not maintain her balance and fainted. When she opened her eyes, she saw that everyone was gathered around Sanobar Apa, and all the members of her house were also sitting.
After regaining my health a little, I found out that today was the fourth day and I was in a state of unconsciousness. I told everyone about the incident of that day, Sanobar Apa was left with a head and stomach and said as you are saying, it is correct. If so, let us consider it a miracle that you came back alive. I thanked the Lord. Even today, the body gets a thrill when the sound of this water and the hairy body of this strange bird come into view. come in front of.
