Silence fell when the lights flickered for a note at Ghaziabad and broke Sunanda Sharma’s train of thoughts. The reason was not because of exhaustion; rather it was because of shock that hit her when yelling suddenly erupted at the front of the crowd. Immediately following this, shadowy figures started moving behind her on the screen, not in an expected pattern of projection but in an unexpected manner. Holding the microphone stand tighter, she fixed her gaze beyond the spotlights into the faces beneath.
There was a feeling of suspense among the people; as if they had caught something evil behind the facade of good. No sound came after that except the silencing whisper that remained momentarily until nothing else could be heard. There was no sound coming out of the speaker’s mouth. Suddenly, darkness fell in its full extent. Though initially still, there was restlessness that was slowly creeping inside them. Dark clouds gathered above, bringing the threat of an impending rain down upon them.
