Sakshi, 24, ek graphic designer thi jo Delhi ke Malviya Nagar mein do aur ladkiyon ke saath ek shared flat mein rehti thi. Roz ki tarah us raat bhi sab apne kaam mein busy the. Sakshi ne apne boyfriend Aryan ko video call kiya — ek simple, halki hansi-mazaak wali call hone wali thi. Jab call connected hua, Aryan ne turant bola, “Tumhari aankhon ka angle ajeeb lag raha hai… jaise koi aur dekh raha ho.”
Sakshi hansi, “Kya be matlab ki baat kar raha hai?”
Par Aryan serious ho gaya. “Nahi seriously… zoom karo zara apne left eye pe.”
Sakshi ne front camera close up kiya. Wahan kuch tha. Uski aankhon mein ek reflection thi — kuch organic, lekin out of place. Jaise aankhon ke andar koi aur aankh ho. Aryan ne screen shot liya. Jab Sakshi ne bhi usse dekha, to uska haath kaanp gaya. Aankh ke andar ek aur human eye, horizontally rotated, unblinking, unhuman.
Us raat ke baad sab badal gaya.
Sakshi ne ekdum bolna kam kar diya. Kaam mein kaafi mistakes hone lagi. Flatmates batate ki raat ke 2 baje bathroom ka paani chalu hota tha, jab sab so rahe hote.
Ek raat flatmate Meena ne bathroom ke darwaze ke neeche se shadow dekhi — Sakshi wahan thi. Lekin jab Meena ne darwaza khola, andar koi nahi tha. Paani band ho gaya. Bathroom mirror par likha tha: “Main andar hoon.”
Sakshi ne bataya ki us din ke baad wo har video call mein kuch ajeeb mehsoos karti hai — jaise camera ke andar koi cheez pal rahi ho, uske expressions imitate kar rahi ho, par seedha dekhne pe gayab ho jaati hai. Har call mein, uski aankh mein wahi eye flash hoti — horizontally rotated, motionless, jaise dekh rahi ho, sab smjh rahi ho.
She visited an ophthalmologist, Dr. Ranawat. Test normal the, par unhone kaha ki aankhon mein ek rare corneal movement hai — jiska koi biological explanation nahi tha. Doctor ne lastly kaha, “Mujhe lagta hai aap kisi aur frequency pe dekh rahi hain… jo hum nahi samjh sakte.”
Wo raat jab flat ki wifi blink kar rahi thi aur sab phones glitch maar rahe the, Sakshi ne finally Aryan ko ek last time video call kiya. Call pick hone ke 3 second baad hi Aryan ne phone gira diya. Screen par Sakshi ki aankh se ek aur aankh crawl out karti dikhi — lens ke surface se nikalti hui jaise koi parasite. Uska chehra emotionless ho gaya, aur background mein andhera fail gaya.
Next morning, Aryan missing tha. Sakshi normal thi — par zyada, disturbingly composed. Her voice slightly deeper ho gayi thi. Flatmates ke kisi bhi video call pe wo saaf kehti thi, “Aankhon mein mat dekhna.” Par ek din Meena ne galti se call rotate kar diya — horizontal zoom. Us frame mein, Sakshi ki right aankh khuli thi… par baaki chehra blank tha, aur us aankh mein kisi aur ka reflection, Aryan ka.
Last log jinhone use dekha tha, keh rahe the: “Woh ab camera ke andar rehti hai. Har aankhon ke piche ek aur aankh hoti hai.”
Ab har flatmate gone missing hai. Sakshi ka phone active hai, aur kisi ne uska Insta story dekha — ek mirror selfie with caption: “Main ab dono taraf hoon.”
Kya tumne abhi just aankhon mein dekha?
