"Krutika, can't you see her. She is right beside me.", Radha was trying to prove her Dhara's existence. her anxiety failed to hide
"Oh! She is there. I was joking Radha."
"I hate such jokes."
"Sorry"
" Radha were you scared when she said that she is unable to see me"
"Of course, I was"
Radha somewhere knew what was going on. She just wanted to play more. But now it was going to end. Soon Dhara was going to disappear and she knew it.
....
"Mummy, do you know Radha?", Krutika asked her mother who was also working as councillor in the school.
"Yes I know her. She recently bunked the school. And also you never stops when you start talking about her."
"You used listen it? I thought you just ignored."
"I should listen to my child. How can i just ignore it."
There was a cute smile on Krutika's face. She always thought that her mother gave more importance to work. She also didn't had father with her.
"Mummy, she claims about a girl to be with her. Today she introduced me to a girl named Dhara but she was nowhere seen. When I told her I am not able to see her, she became anxious. She tried to prove that Dhara was standing beside her. Mummy I think she has ghost with her and she doesn't know about it."
"Ghost doesn't exist baccha. Bring her home tomorrow I will have chat with her. I will check her background. By then you try to ask her story. And as you said about her paintings, ask her to bring that too. And don't worry, ghost doesn't exist ."
"Ok, I will do as you say. And ghost doesn't exist."Krutika repeated it as if she was confirming it.
....
"Radha will you and Dhara like to come to my house tomorrow. My mummy will be happy to meet you both."
"Sure why not, Radha and I will definitely come to your house.", Dhara looked so excited. It was her first time visiting someone's house.
"Will you also bring your paintings with you, my mummy would like to see it."
"Why not! Radha is amazing artist. Your mother would be amazed by her skills." Dhara will never stop her habit of interupting. She loves to speak alot. She also knew that Radha was going to deny the invitation. So she took lead and accepted it.
"Ok Radha and Dhara see you at my house then.", saying it Krutika catch the road to her house. As decided tomorrow after school Radha and Dhara were going to visit Krutika's house.
....
"Are you stupid, why did you accepted it? Her mother is our councillor. Did you forget it? She knows that I bunked the school. You just keep on creating problems."
"Yes I do make it. And what about you, don't you create problematic situations. If you were good at fooling people we could have escaped properly. Then no one would have caught us. And another thing, you just know how to cry. Can't you be strong. Can't you face the things bravely. It really makes me worry about you. How are you going to live?What will you do if I am not there? Can't you be stronger?"
"I am sorry, let's go tomorrow to meet her mother.", No one was able to escape from Radha's appealing smile. It was her hidden tool to convince people.
.....
Though Radha pretended to be happy in front of Dhara she was lost in deep puzzle. She was afraid to meet the councillor. She understood Dhara why she accepted the invitation. Soon Radha was going to encounter change and she knew it. The lie she used to cover herself was going to removed. She was afraid of reality.
