Unholy Obsession

Missing

"Do you know about Bhumi?" I reply worriedly: "No! What happened?"

Vishal: "Yesterday I got a call from Bhumi's parents, in which they said that according to the doctor, the day she had an accident, in between 8 hours of a critical operation, she died. She is no longer in this world. And tomorrow is her funeral to which the three of us have been invited. They don't know that you both were in this condition so they were saying that they couldn't contact you because your phone is switched off..."

On the other hand, that one sentence that he said started reverberating again and again in my heart and mind: "SHE IS NO MORE IN THIS WORLD..."

Countless tears started flowing from my eyes. To describe my regrets and sorrows, I started crying loudly.

After about an hour:

When I control my emotion, I heard his voice saying: "Are you feeling good now?" I said: "Yeah! I heard from my parents that Lena is also admitted to the hospital. How is she?"

Vishal: "The doctor said that she is out of danger now but her leg has been fractured and has not regained consciousness yet."

I said: "Don't tell her anything about Bhumi's death or else she'll consider herself guilty of her death."

Vishal: "Fine...But tomorrow will you attend her funeral."

I said: "Hmm..."

At Present:

24th December 2012,

I'm imprisoning all my memories into these pages of my diary. I clearly remember her smiling face and her brutal accident which happened in front of my eyes.

Continuously I dreamed about her death. Since that day I have never been able to sleep peacefully.

********

Recalling her bitter memories, Shruti closed her diary and started crying to express her pain.

Sometime later, when she gets Vishal's call, she stopped crying and while talking with him, she went from her room to attend Bhumi's funeral.

5 years later:

In Manali,

In the Kullu Valley which was situated near the Beas River and on the opposite side a dark forest was also assembled. And in the middle of two ways, Bungalow was established.

Inside of the bungalow, it was looking much bigger and more beautiful from the outside.

There was a tea table under a gorgeous chandelier and there were large and some short sofas around it and in one of them, Lena looks happy to sit and talk to someone on the phone.

"Yes mother, we're taking care of each other better. But I'm not sure at any cost you guys are even taking care of yourselves!"

On the other hand, the voice of a middle-aged woman comes from the phone: "Even if I tell you yes, then you still won't believe me. Well... I called you to ask if your grandmother has correctly picked the train to come here or else she failed to graze the train of Mumbai which of one who came directly from Manali from Mumbai. I told both of you many times that you guys should also come along with grandma, it seems that both of you haven't been able to adopt a friend's parents as your family!"

Lena: "Oh no no... There is no such thing. In fact, this time due to the pressure of the office, we got stuck here, or else no one can stay away from the family. I promised you, we will definitely go to receive Grandma and Vishal went with grandma, to drop her off and I think he is returning home now after putting her on the train."

After talking like this for some more time Lena disconnects the call.

On the walls of the hall room were many individuals and together photos of Lena and Vishal hanging, and on the opposite side of the entrance door, a long and bigger frame of their wedding is hanging in which their happiness and love were described in the pictures.

Author's thoughts: It looks like while taking Shruti's advice, In the end, Vishal proposed Lena.

__ At the same time, slim but well-maintained men, about 6 feet in height, with shinning hair and wearing black-brown colour glasses came towards Lena.

While throwing the coat on the sofa, the person hugged Lena tightly from behind and said: "I wasn't at home, then who is the reason behind my wife's smile? Is somewhere the ghost has entered this house?"

At first, after hearing his words, a brought smile that before was spread on her face, but after hearing the word "ghost", she got a little scared and told him to keep a fake smile.

Lena: "Did you drop grandma safely on the train?"

Vishal: "Yes Madam! And the train has already left the platform. So don't worry, grandma safely go."

Lena: "Hmm..." (reply in an upset)

Seeing her withered face, Vishal understood what was the matter! Understanding her, he gestures for her to sit on the sofa then while keeping his head in her lap, he started saying:

"Are you thinking about her again? Look, as if Bhumi is happy in her life, in the same way, Shruti is also happy in her own. It may also happen that she is far away to take a break so that she can come over from her past and she could return to us in a few days. Give her some time, Okay!"

Before he could say anything further, Lena interrupted him and said in frustration.

"Don't make fake hopes..., No one takes 5 years to forget their pasts. She wandered around as if she doesn't exist, even though you know that for 2 years the police couldn't find a single piece of evidence about us even with applying their full force.

No letter or call, even she leave any message. FINE, forget about us! But before leaving, she doesn't about thoughts of her parents for once! If I catch her, I'll kill her at that moment."

___ While saying this, she left Vishal alone and angrily went towards her room.
