Husband:  Yeah.  It’s  really  refreshing  right  here.  The  driver  is  such  a  fool,  how  can  such  a
               beautiful   area   be   dangerous?

               Wife:  These  poor  people  say  things  like  this  only  wherever  they  go.  You  know  what  I  think
               he  just  wants  to  go  home  soon  and  sleep.  He  is  such  a  lazy  person.  I  think  we  should  fire  him
               as   soon   as   we   reach   home.

               Husband:   Yeah.   Exactly.   So   now   I   think   we   should   go   and   sit   in   the   car   and   restart  our
               journey.


               Wife:   Yeah.
               (The   couple   opens   the   door   and   sits   in   the   car)


               Husband:   Driver   starts   the   car.

               (Nothing   happens)

               Husband:   You   fool,   I   said   start   the   car.

               (Still   no   response,   husband   gets   up   to   look   ahead   and   founds   the   driver   seat   empty)

               Husband:   Oh   my   god,   where   did   he   go?

               Wife:   I'm   so   scared,   where   is   he?

               Husband:   Let’s   wait   for   some   time.

               (After   waiting   for   around   half   an   hour)

               Husband:   There   is   something   fishy.   It’s   been   half   an   hour   since   he   went   missing.


               Wife:  I  am  really  scared,  what  will  happen  now?  There  is  no  network  also  and  we  don’t  even
               know   the   track   and   that   bastard   took   the   keys   with   him,   we   can't   even   drive.

               Husband:  Let’s  get  out  of  the  car  and  look  for  him  around.  I'm  sure  he  will  be  around  only,
               and   he   is   playing   a   game   with   us.

               (The   couple   gets   out   of   the   car.   They  turn  on  the  flashlights  of  their  phone  and  enter  the
               jungle.   Both   of   them   are   nervous   and   scared)

               Wife:   Look,   there   is   a   house   I   guess,   there   is   light.

               Husband:   Oh   yeah,   let’s   go   there.   I   think   he   is   there   only.

               (The   couple   moves   towards   the   house)

               Husband:   I   am   not   getting   a   good   vibe.   A   house   in   the   middle   of   this   jungle   with   fire.

               Wife:   Maybe   it   is   a   farmer’s   house.   A   local   person   maybe.   We   should   ask   for   help.


               Husband:   If   you   say   so.

               (The  husband  knocks  on  the  door  with  nervousness.  After  knocking  on  the  door,  the  couple
               waits  for  a  few  seconds  and  then  the  door  opens  but  no  one  comes  out  of  the  house.  It’s  all
