Description
The Consequence of the Graduation Party
A Desperate Escape in the Forest
Screaming and gasping for breath, Ambi and her friends ran frantically through a dark, endless forest. The towering trees swallowed light, and fear tightened its grip with every step. Behind them, something terrifying—a monstrous creature—chased without mercy. It wasn't human. It wasn’t even something you’d imagine in your worst nightmares. A long-necked, ghostly figure with matted hair, blood dripping from its mouth—it was death in form.
One by one, the creature picked them off. It grabbed a girl without hesitation and tore her apart. The rest screamed louder and ran harder. They had no shoes, and their feet were swollen, bloody from the sharp forest floor. Exhaustion weighed them down, but fear kept them moving.
The Cry of Regret
Ambi collapsed behind a thick tree, catching her breath. Her eyes filled with tears as she cried out loud:
> “I brought this upon myself! Why did I insist on going to that graduation party? Why didn’t I listen? This is the price of chasing fun!”
She shook uncontrollably, haunted not only by what she’d seen but by her choices.
> “Had I known, I would’ve never gone. I would’ve never even attended that school! This isn’t just a party—it’s a doorway to death.”
The Argument Among Friends
Others sat in silence, their faces pale with fear and guilt. Suddenly, a heated exchange broke out.
> “Stop blaming others!” someone yelled. “No one forced you to come. You chose this yourself!”
> “Me? I chose this? Weren’t you the one hyping the party? You lured us here, not knowing we were walking into horror!”
But another voice, calm yet firm, broke through:
> “Enough! What’s done is done. We can’t keep fighting. We need to think. How do we escape this place?”
A moment of silence followed. The only sound was their heavy breathing and the echo of distant screams—possibly the last cries of another friend who wasn’t as lucky.
Hopelessness Settles In
Aman, one of the boys, shook his head.
> “Escape? There’s no way out. We don't even know where we are. There’s no signal, no path, no houses. We’re trapped. We summoned something we weren’t supposed to. Now we’re paying the price.”
Everyone fell silent. The truth hurt, but it couldn't be denied. All they had was regret—and fear.
The Pain of a Mother
Back at home, Nuriyya’s mother was inconsolable. For five days, she hadn’t eaten. Her eyes were swollen from crying, her voice faint from sorrow.
> “How can I be happy when I don’t know where my daughter is? Whether she’s dead or alive? I warned her! I raised her right! But that Graduation Party ruined everything!”
Her son, Mannir, tried to comfort her:
> “Please, Umma. Don’t say that. Let’s keep praying. She’ll come back home safely, in sha Allah.”
> “Praying?” she snapped. “Now you want to pray? You were always defending her. Always soft with her. I begged you to help me raise her with Islamic values, but you didn’t listen. Now look!”
She wept uncontrollably, her heart broken.
> “Have you seen the videos going around? The shame they brought on us? Girls dancing half-dressed, behaving shamelessly—all because of that wretched Graduation Party. And now she’s missing... all of them are gone!”
Falling Apart
Still in pain, Umma continued:
> “She threw away our values. Disrespected our upbringing. I did my best, but she chose the wrong path.”
Mannir remained quiet, unable to argue.
> “You’re right, Umma. I made mistakes. But let’s not let this destroy you. Let’s keep praying.”
Through tears, she whispered:
> “May Allah protect our daughters. May He bring them back... or at least give us peace.”
Reflections in the Forest
Back in the forest, the survivors—few as they were—sat quietly. The forest was still, but their minds raced.
> “I’ve learned my lesson,” one girl whispered. “There’s no benefit in disobeying our parents. This party—it wasn’t worth it.”
> “If we make it out,” another added, “we must warn others. Let this be the last tragedy caused by a Graduation Party.”
They all nodded solemnly. Reality had hit them harder than any lecture or punishment ever could.
