Hi! I'm Olivia. I'm a famous psychiatrist. I live alone in an apartment in Uttara. I live here mainly because of my work.
The apartment I live in is very quiet. Everyone here is busy with their own work. Almost everyone is employed. I'm not exceptional. That's why I don't have much acquaintance with anyone here. I don't even know who my neighbors are.
So, as usual, after finishing my work today, I sat down to write my diary in the middle of the night.
You could say, diaries are my only companion here, with whom I share all my joys and sorrows, likes and dislikes. In this busy life of mine, my friend diary's contribution is immense. Expressing various thoughts in the diary gives me a different kind of relief. So today, as usual, I sat down to write in my diary.
And this is a new diary, a new friend.
Today is April 13th, Saturday.
The day is no different to me than any other day. However, today's weather is not very good. The stormy weather of the new moon night has increased its intensity.
However, I quite like such storms. Because on such days, one can enjoy an extra day off.
As a doctor, I can't always take time off, but no one can stop me from enjoying a stormy day off. That's why my favorite season is summer. Because even during the monsoon, the storms don't rage as much as they do in the stormy month of Boishakh.
I couldn't finish my writing. Suddenly, I heard a knock on the door.
But who would come so late at night? Moreover, I don't know anyone who would come to me in their trouble.
Additionally, there was only one knock on the door. So I thought it might be a figment of my imagination. So I sat down to write in my diary again.
But after a while, I heard the door knock again. This time the sound didn't stop. Rather, it became louder and louder!
This time I sat up a little. The door knocking seemed to be ringing in my head.
I looked at the clock and saw that it was 3:33 and 33 seconds.
An exact calculation!
I heard that this is called 'Devil's Hour'. On top of that, today is the new moon! Ghosts supposedly have a favorite day.
But being a rational person, I don't believe in ghosts. So I wasn't afraid of ghosts. But the door knocking didn't stop. I got scared. Maybe it's a burglar.
So I tried to call the police. But the weather was so bad that there was no emergency network in the area which always has 4G network. So, despite repeated attempts, my efforts failed. How bad is my luck!
However, just as suddenly as the door knocking started, it suddenly stopped. I am sure the door was knocked for at least 15 minutes. The unbearable loud noise gave me a severe headache. However, I was calm thinking that whatever burglar had come, he had fled.
