Now Who Spread This Rumour!

"I couldn't sleep last night again! " Pratibha rubbed her eyes, "why did we choose this room next to the washroom! "

"Let me remind you, we didn't choose it! " Kavita snubbed, "we were the last to reach hostel back from vacations and all good rooms were taken! "

"Why are you looking at me like that? " Pratibha frowned, " I came before you! "

"Girls, girls! " I tried making peace, also I was the last to reach hostel! " Let's focus on the issue here, the girls using washrooms all night long, banging doors as they go, and our sleep being disturbed because of that"!

"Issue? it's not an issue, if we can't do anything about it, apart from growing resistance and sleeping anyhow! " Kavita said.

"Well, I have a plan! " I had my mischief smile on, " how about we spread a rumour, that we have seen a ghost roaming in the washroom area at night? "

Pratibha's eyes popped up with excitement, and we shared a high five, when Kavita said, "what nonsense?! who is going to believe that? we should think of something else, let's talk to the warden... "

Pratibha interrupted her, "You really think warden is going to do anything? Let's go with the rumour plan and even if it doesn't work, there is no loss."

We three roomies nodded in agreement and decided to spread the rumour in hostel that a bride wearing red lehnga was spotted when someone went to use the washrooms on our floor after midnight and some others heard trinket sounds.

A few days later, I was talking to a girl who lived in the same corridor, and she shared the same rumour with me, with some more tadka! I giggled to myself and rushed to my room and shared with my roommates that our plan had worked!

In a few days, the rumour had spread in the entire hostel and the washroom area became silent at night! We slept peacefully for the whole semester!
