chapter -3

On the request of Principal Solanki, Divyam took Tiana on a tour of the school where he took her to the library where more than half of the students were not allowed to enter the library and upon asking, Divyam told her a story. There is a new librarian named Miss Priya who was left at the same place during the night while working where she found some children who had only one big eye on their face. They wanted to imprison Miss Priya there but somehow she reached the door first and the children came together in a line and sat there looking at Miss Priya all night. Since then it is prohibited area for everyone.

"But all this happens during night time, why is it prohibited to go there during the day?"

Tiana asked Divyam looking at that prohibited area.

" Because there was a day when those kids were visible even during the day."

Even after Tiana reached there, there were only two people present in the library, she and Divyam, apart from them there was no librarian there. This was quite strange.

" But why would any ghosts appear during the day?"

Tiana was not  to believe that a ghost could be seen even during the day. That was not possible.

" Some things do not depend on whether we believe it or not, they just real."

What he said was right, but can you believe this to be true? Divyam looked all around and said.

" There is another story about this library which I am going to tell you.

It was only two years ago that a second librarian came here. I don't remember her name properly but she noticed that whenever she came to work here, her work was already done. Some new books had arrived for the library and she was going to put them in the box when she saw that the box was completely empty and the new books had already been kept in the cupboard.

Once she had to throw away old books but she saw that the box was full of old books. She couldn't understand who was doing all this. One day she was sitting till 5:00 in the evening and at that time she saw a girl doing her work.

When the librarian started talking to that girl, she came to know that she too had joined there recently and she was his assistant in the library. The librarian did not believe this because she was not told anything about it, so she went to talk to the Principal Sir and came to know that there was no librarian there.

She understood that she was new here and that is why she was being harassed there. She did not do anything and started working as usual so that the girl would come back and he could talk to her.

Her work was getting done as usual but he was unable to see the girl. One day he saw that girl again and it was 5:00 in the evening. This time the librarian immediately went to her and asked who she was and why she was disturbing him, only then the girl told her.

" My name is Priya and a big accident happened to me here earlier due to which my mental balance got disturbed. Those children kept appearing to me again and again and calling me near them. The more I tried to stay away from them, the more I kept seeing them.

Initially I could see only two children, then it became eight and now I see so many that I cannot even count them. Their one eye is always staring at me. That's why I came here.

It is prohibited to come here at night and I follow the rules very well, so I come here during the day. I still see those kids, and that’s why I hang out here.”

Hearing her strange talk the librarian asked,

" But I always see you at this time; I have never seen you before that."

" I stay here the whole day and no one can see me."

Saying this she went away from there laughing. The librarian did not say anything to her but she got very angry, that is why she went to the principal sir to complain about that girl Priya and told him everything.

Principal Sir kept listening to her for some time, then after hearing what she told the librarian immediately left her job.

" What are you saying, our old librarian Miss Priya died last week then how can you see her here?"

After listening to her, the librarian left the place but it is said that Miss Priya still roams around in this library. She stays in the library all the time and leaves at night and since that day no librarian has ever come here.

Whatever work the library has to do, it gets done automatically. Due to this fear no one ever comes here, but Miss Priya has never bothered anyone, so the children who really want to study definitely come here."
