Story begins......
I still remember the day. When I finally believed in ghosts.....It was a dark night with a full moon. Wolves howling and birds chirping. On the way to my sister's house....
In the middle of driving passed a cat infront of me. It's said that if a cat passes by your front you should go back and stay for some mins then drive again.
But was running out of time. It was too late.... no time to go back and I didnt believe those.... I didnt agree and drove away... I finally reached my sister's home.... I knocked at the door. And she opened
She said "Brother you here? Tell me that you have come to visit me or take something back?"Mockingly
I replied "You can say both" laughing
"I knew it" she said. Then my brother in law said "Dear let him come in first. Or will you make him stay out side the whole night?"
She again mocked me "What black magic have you done on him. He always talks about you day and night?hahaha"
They invited me inside I went in..... We talked and when we were eating in the middle a glass broke in the middle by accident. "Oops I am sorry. Let me pick it up"
"It's okay brother, let... let me "She said panicking.
I asked her "What happened? It's just a glass"
Then they both looked at each other with some sort of sadness in their eyes.... "Brother you eat you are out guest" With a sad smile on her face.....
My brother in law said "Brother let's go and talk. She will clean it up" He also had a fake smile.... Later that night my sister arranged a room for me as only 1 room was left....
When I entered the room. Some kind of uneasiness grew up in my heart and mind... As I was going to unpack my things.... My sister entered....
"Brother do you remember this room"Her face was like she was about to cry.... I replied with a nod.... He always loved here. His every favourite this was here... His all photos. He wanted to be a photographer.....
The "He" my sister is talking about is a boy named Tony. He was an orphan and lived her with this family... But in an accident he......
"I still remember that day....." My sister continued.....
A flash back starts....
"Aunt just a bit closer and lift your chin up" said Tony.
My sister said "You little brat. Do it fast. I have other works to do. Hahaha"
Tony "Huff. Auntie just give rest to yourself some days. And with your looks I can you would have been a great actress"
"Dummy" as my sister said... Tony replied "Let me go up the stool"....The stool was near the balcony with free surroundings.
My sister said "Properly. Or else you might fall"
Tony replied "Nothing will happen when you are here." And composed these lines
A BEAUTIFUL SUNSET WITH A BEAUTIFUL FACE LIKE MOON. JUST PERFECT TO BE A BEAUTY
He got excited and..... he fell of it...... My sister shouted "Tonyyyyyyyyy"
They took him to hospital but alas die to so much blood lost he was no more....
Flashback ends.....
"Sobs~Sobs...If I wouldn't have let him on the stool that day he would have been alive.... He is no more in the world now" She said while crying...
I comforted her "Calm Down,sis. It wasn't your fault. He would blame himself seeing you like this."
Yes I dont believe that ghosts or souls can hear us. But to comfort my sister. i said like this. She was still hugging the the photo of Tony tightly.... Then my sister went back to her room....
I kept the pendant, given by my mom to keep safe from all evil spirits, under the pillow. I don't believe in those pendants but for my mother's relief I kept it with me... As soon as I slept... At the right 12 o'clock....
Someone pulled my bedsheet....mmmm.....i was too tired so I pulled it up again....It happened again but I was still sleepy.... after some time some footsteps were heard... I thought it was either sister or brother in law or maybe Nat their daughter who have woke to drink. But it came more nearer and nearer to me...
So I opened my eyes. In sleepy tone I asked who was it.. But none answered so I slept again... Then it stopped.... Next day when I got and got dressed.... I went down and asked of anyone was up at night and then Nat, my niece, said that....."It must be Tony brother, uncle." While playing with her doll.
I looked at the couple. And the nervously answered "Brother... She....she is a child. And she speaking nonsense... " "Yes brother. She is just joking" Even my brother in law supported her
But Nat insisted "But Mom Tony brother is..... "
My sister interrupted her "Go to your room and study. Speaking nonsense all day" with a harsh tone.... Poor Nat went to her room with a sad face.
Again the day falled.....And I went inside my room...and this time I felt someone else was there too... as I turned back it was Nat. She was standing there with her told. I gestured her to come inside.
I asked her "What are you doing here, cutie?"
She replied "I came her to meet Tony brother"
I suprisedly asked "Tony brother?"
"Yes, see he is sitting on that chair" She pointed out to the chair beside the study table as she said... I asked "There?" She noddingly replied yes.....
I thought she must be joking but when I heard this.........
"MY UNCLE HERO. WHY ARE YOU HERE? THIS IS MY ROOM?" Tony's voice said angrily
My voice cracked as I heard his voice "Tony?"
"YES UNCLE I AM TONY. GO AWAY FROM HERE THIS IS MY ROOM" all the glasses shatter as he said... The vase fell down and my niece shouted...
"Tony brother plz stop" She started crying. By hearing her cries my sister and her husband came down.... They both shouted to Tony to calm down.
I suddenly remembered the pendant given by my mom to keep evil people away. I took it and threw at Tony as he shouted "AHHHHHHHH"
The pendant broke and the it was in pieces as Tony stepped on 1 piece he was screaming. I thought to pick it up and throw at him all the pieces but my sister stopped me and said... "Plz don't." she said crying "Don't kill his soul... He was like a son to me.... *sobbing* I.. I thou..thought you we.. were his.... his hero. So he wouldn't do anything. I am sorry.... But plz don't kill him"
I angrily shouted "He is an evil spirit..... " As I said this....Tony choked me....
They both shouted "No Tony no... he is your uncle Hero.. You can't do this... "
"HE IS NOT MY UNCLE HERO. HE SAYS I AM AN EVIL SPIRIT. I WILL KILL HIM KIL HIM. I WILL TAKE HIM WITH ME... " He shouted at top of his voice...
While there was only one way I threw the pieces on my hand at him and he was destroyed all..... He was screaming very very loudly. While my sister was crying and Nat that small girl was standing there quietly as she knew this would have happened. I was feeling better sad cause Tony always called me his hero and his hero killed him....
A lone tear escaped my eyes... after that I didn't visit my sister for 3 years.....
After, that day I have always believed in Gods as well as spirits....
I still wonder what was this.... a dream? an experience? a lesson from God to prove his existence?...........
