Mr. Noor lives with his 8 years old daughter . Her name is Ayra. Ayra’s school is near a mental asylum . So one day Noor came to pick his daughter from the school and noticed  that she was waving at someone in the asylum.

Mr. Noor is a reporter by profession.  Surprisingly his new topic was also about the  missing of some patients from that Mental Asylum. It is a very big issue but the government wants to conceal it.Till now 64 patients just disappear in 20 years.  So he decided to visit the asylum. The next day he paid a visit. He talked to some of the mentally terminated people but he felt a strange attraction toward a long hallway. He started walking to the end. A staff member stopped him by saying it was not safe there. Noor asked why. According to the staff, the woman was locked inside this chamber for the last 20 years.Nobody ever visited her. Noor thought she could help him as no other patient is here for such a long time.

He took permission and with guard he entered into the chamber. The place was damp and cluttered with rotten food scattered across the floor and a sour musty smell hanging in the air. The stench of rot and decay made it hard to breathe and flies buzzed lazily around the overflowing bins. It felt neglected, forgotten by time and care. On the wall she wrote many girls’ names with broken tiles. Noor asked her name. She replied, “I have many names.which one you want to know. ” and laughed.

Noor found her very mysterious so he started to investigate her. The reason she was here that she killed one of her roommates/ friends Fatima. And her name was Nirjona. Nirjona was a nurse. So Noor went to the hospital where she used to work.

Noor asked a sweeper about the case and he started to cry. Noor asked why he was crying like this. The old man replied that the girl Nirjona killed was his daughter. Mr. Rahim used to treat  Nirjona just like his own daughter as she was an orphan. In 2004, one night she returned from her work to their dorm and killed Fatima. Not only that she… she  stretched Fatima’s body eat a few parts used her intestines, brain

and hair for black magic and store the head and heart in the almirah. A rotten smell was coming from her room when the authorities checked that no one could believe it. Nirjona was a very polite and gentle girl. How she could do so…

“Coming from work? Wasn’t she a nurse at the hospital? ” asked Noor. Mr Rahim replied that she was hired by a family. Mr. Rahim couldn’t speak more.

Noor asked if he could manage the record book of that year. Mr Rahim agreed.Tomorrow he will get that for him. Noor returned home. Ayra hugged him. Then they chitchat for a while, have dinner and go to sleep. Ayra said that she has made a new friend. Noor was so tired that he slept without hearing Ayra.

Next day Noor got the record and found that Mr. Ahmed hired Nirjona. He called but no response. So he went to the address. It was a village in Narayanganj. He asked some villagers about the Ahmed family. They show the house but it was empty for the last 20 years. Mr. Rezaul Ahmed and his wife went to the USA and never returned, leaving his old mother here. Noor asked why. The villager said that his mother was involved in black magic. She didn’t want to leave her home behind but she was old too. So they hired Nirjona.

A 120 year old woman heard a man come to know about the Ahmeds so she called him. According to her, Rezaul’s mother’s name was Maya. “She was a witch. One day Rezaul’s father married her and brought her here. She had no relatives. Nobody knew her as if she just appeared. I still remember at first everyone was against this marriage but soon all died in the family. Reza’s father realized but it was too late.

She used to feed on girls to be young forever. I myself saw her doing black magic. After that a jinn killed my 5 unborn children. My husband also left me. Maya ruined my life. Rezaul left his mother because Maya sacrificed her own granddaughter to jinn.”

Noor gathered so much information but still could not solve the mystery so he went back to Nirjona. Called her by her name. She laughed. Nirjona said “I have many names. You may have heard many versions of this story. Shall I begin mine? I had a contract with 13 jinn that I will give them a sacrifice they will grant me beauty. But soon they betrayed me.  They killed my Nila. I love my granddaughter very much. Nirjona was a very young beautiful girl. I used her. I made another deal to capture the 13 jinns.For that, a mental asylum would be the best option. Nobody cares about them if they are missing or dead.For 13 jinns I have to sacrifice 65 people . Then only my revenge will be done. Soon I will be free again. Maybe you can help me or already you have”.

Noor said, “Maya?”…Nirjona said, “I have many names.” Noor left the place immediately. He reached his home. Ayra opened the door and said, “shhhh, my friend has come to meet you. She doesn’t like  you but if you play hide and seek with her, she might like you. Noor asked her name. Ayra replied, “ Nila”.
