1 Who were they ?

"Okay its decided , we'll meet you at Baijnath."

"Okay , I'll catch up to you after finishing my work. You guys head there a before me."

"Okay see ya."

"Okay."

Then they left, My friend. We decided to attend our friend's marriage at Baijnath. I was here, at Sandroa. Its 150km away from Baijnath, I had work so my other two friends decided they will head there first, and I'll catch them during marriage.

***

And here Iam. Waiting outside the bus stand. My last bus was of 11pm and I lost it.

It was dark night. I decided to walk , later I saw a jeep on roadside. I waved at him, he stopped ,I asked him

"Bro, will you drop me at Baijnath?"

"Mate, I'm going in that direction but my stop is 5km early. I'll drop you at my stop and will tell you the rest of the way."

"Bro, Please I'll give money , but please drop me at my place."

"Its not about money, mate. I have very urgent work, I'm wasting my lots of time even talking to you. I'll atleast drop you near your place."

"Okay, thanks bro."

Then I decided to go on that route. Atleast it was good, rather than covering all the distance in foot. And when that driver dropped me at his place.

He said -

"Mate, Go straight, you'll see two bridges, one is railway and one is for foot walk. Choose any route. Then you'll see steep route. Go on that, then you'll enter the highway, go straight on your right hand direction and you'll reach main market of Baijnath."

"Thank you, bro. I really appreciate your help."

"Mention not, mate."

Then I went the way he told. Soon I found those bridges. But for my surprise ,the foot bridge was covered by wild vines. You can't can't walk through that thick bushes. Who knows you get bitten by snake or other things. So I decided to walk over the railway bridge. As I was walking, a sudden chill went through my spine. I thought somebody is watching me. I looked behind.

Nobody.

Then I looked below the bridge. Down there , there was a railway track and under the bridge, a entity was upside down. I looked carefully , it was a figure of woman.

Long white hair, with whitish single clothing from top to bottom like a bed sheet. Hair long enough , covering her all face, were hanging upside down.

I saw not left and right. And decided to run fast as I can.

Soon enough , grumbling voices started to hear.

Voices of somebody is crying. Can be heard everywhere.

take me, or else I'll take you.

I dashed. Ran as fast as I could hearing those words. Soon the steep way the man told me could be seen. I climbed that road.

And reached the Highway.

I was lucky enough , a small white car was coming towards me.

I didn't know, my body moved automatically and stood in front of the way of the car.

It stopped.

I hurriedly entered the back seat of the car.

I saw an old woman was sitting in back seat with me. Two middle aged person on front two seats.

I am safe. Or that I thought.

All three of them started looking at me. Tilting their head. Their eyes were becoming red slowly as they were holding something so hard.

wahhh.wahhh..see.e...

Soon they started crying.

Their voices were very unnatural I couldn't even reproduce.

Soon blood started coming from their eyes.

I realizes it's something very strange. I jumped out of the car. And ran towards the direction , the man told me.

I feel like their crying is slowly increasing.

Or are they closing me.

baaaaaam!

A sound like a car fell from cliff.

I didn't loom behind. I didn't have that courage to look behind.

I ran . ran .... Ran....

As fast I could , Pushed my limits and

I looked at my right. I saw a temple with lights.

I didn't think about anything else and ran towards it.

Bamm ... Bammm.

I started knocking hard.

Two priest came from inside.

They were very angry, I don't know why.

"What are you doing at this hour fool ?"

"Kid, this place isn't safe at this hour."

I didn't care about their, scolding .

I narrated what has happened to me.

How I saw girl, standing upside down.

Strange peoples crying.

They look like they believed me.

One priest bring a muthha ( a exorcism equipment) .

He moved that thing around my head, circling three time.

"Kid, you should stay tonight here."

"We'll provide you blanket and sheet to sleep, don't worry."

This is the biggest help I got. I also didn't have a courage .

Next morning, priest gave me a locket, said I should never wear it off until I reached my destination.

And if can never wear it off life time.

I thanked them.

Left for my destination.

Soon I get the, lift on highway and reached my destination.

My friends were waiting for me at the entrance, I already missed the ceremony but I was lucky I can attend the reception party.

Its been three years to that incident.

When I told them this to my friends,

They told me the reality.

8 years ago , a family , a pregnant lady , her husband , her mother-in-law and driver.

They fell from highway on the railway.

Everybody was killed.

I was always neutral. Believing in god and supernatural??

But I was not so focused, until this incident.

Who were those people actually?

Who was the Lady?

How they died?

Was it really an accident?

These questions were unknown , it was known that they died but their identity was unknown.

And till this day, I wear that locket everyday.
