Niharika... by Saaveri

Saaveri Donikena, a Class 5 student at The Class Of One, pens a gripping tale of eerie whispers titled 'Niharika'.

Hi, my name is Niharika. My world is a quiet world.
Yeah, my life is boring. But one day, something happened, and trust me, this is not a happy tale.

So what happened?
I was sleeping. Suddenly, I woke up. I heard something. It was thunder. I tried to sleep again, but I couldn’t.
I heard someone. Someone whispering my name. It said,
"Niharika, come to me."
My mind was stuck on the Hanuman Chalisa. I tried to sleep but woke up again.

Now, I heard the voice again. I rushed and locked my door. I switched on my phone and called my parents, who were sleeping. I told them everything. They said,
"But we thought you were sleeping! Don’t worry. Get dressed in your lehenga. We’ll go to the temple."

I got dressed and went to the temple.
Now, I don’t hear the whispers anymore.
