#Chapter 15
“I thought your way is clear, as Antara died but it’s not the end to their love story. She returned. So you will not get a chance.” After all, Jiya was a free soul. And no doubt her care for Aisha was the only thing that bound her.
“His love brought her back.”
“Aisha I didn’t expect these words from you. They should be mine. Maybe there’s something wrong in the script.”
“I too have feelings, Jiya. By the way, let’s read the next chapter.”
I cried out her name and my heart was about to burst. I didn’t understand what was going on, she died then who was in front of me. My confused mind was observing her. She took steps towards me. Every step of her made my heart beat more. The room was all dark and in that deep darkness, I saw light peeping through.
When she was close enough to me, she asked “Are you able to see me? Am I visible to you?” Her hand was trying to touch my face but it passed through my head like a breeze. I smelled the past at that moment.
“Oh, my bad!! So you are a human!”, she exclaimed
“If I am human so are you too!”
As always she smiled and her smile screamed out my foolishness. “What makes me look like a human? You earthy creatures call me a ghost. I am not human at all but I was. Don't I scare you because I have seen in movies that ghosts are scary? But why aren’t you scared? Hello, can't you speak? Are you scared? Hey, speak something!”
Her words were more shocking than Rishi’s words. I thought my questionnaire would have been solved but more were added. I didn’t know what to say and I just spoke what came to my mind first “Don't you remember anything when you were alive?”
“Mmm... Not everything but a few things.”
“What? What do you remember, your last days? Why did you commit suicide? What happened to you?”
“I don’t remember that much. Only a few things.”
“What the hell are these few things then?” I burst out in anger.
“Hey calm down, calm down. I’ll tell you what I remember but first tell me who are you, how you know me and why are you only able to see me, even my husband can't see me.”
“I am Tanay, Tanay Patil. We were in the same class in eleventh and we worked on the same project.”
“Only this much! Don't we have anything such as romance or revenge? As I can see the affection in your eyes tells me that you love me.”
“I do have feelings for you”
“No past tense... So you still love me. Now I get it”
“What?”
“Why only you can see me and not my husband. That bastard is getting married”
“What? With whom? How do you know?”
“Don't you think you lack manners? Like can't you ask a question at a time? Anyway, his parents are looking partner for him. Though he hasn’t agreed eventually he will. At least I know him that much. And about what I remember, how I remember I will tell you everything...
It was the day when I died, I saw no one but Rishi expressing his deep regrets. He was mourning, he had no control over his actions. He was standing still and crying loudly. At first, I didn’t understand what was happening but when I heard the conversations. I was very clear that I was dying. Then when I roamed around met a few ghosts like me. They explained to me about life and death and asked me to regain the memory to pass this phase. So I tried to understand the people of this house and the family as I died in this room.”
“You died in this room, didn’t you? It means you didn’t commit suicide?”136Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HUdUp8KbX
“Who told you that? So far I know the family killed me...”
