On Way To Home.....

NOTE: THIS STORY IS BASED ON IMAGINATION.

I was unaware about the storm, that was about to enter in my life..It was about, when I had passed out from skill school, I had joined an industry in a city. Observing my service , soon I shall be rewarded by authorities.Days goes on and I had made many planning for my future. But all of a sudden, one day news spread the city has encountered a chronic disease. Soon many people got infected. I decided to left finally to my home in village, until situation turns safe. Next day, foggy morning , it's Monday I set out to get a ticket of bus to my village.

When I reach bus terminal it's seen only a few buses are there...number of people were less, I was informed the bus to my village shall move out at 8pm instead of 2pm. Whole day I wonder inside the terminus, late night at 9pm the bus moves on with 20 passenger along with me. I asked the conductor, when shall we reach our station...he said...(Babu raat bohut lambi hai ya choti, jise jaha jana hai woh jarur pohuch jayega). That was bit scary reply to me. The bus gear up in turning roads. All people inside bus are speechless silent. Later time comes one by one all left bus to their destinations. I was only left in bus, at about 2am I reach my station.

I get down from bus, all where it's foggy and vacancy. The conductor said, take care , manage to go your home. I started walking, my home was still 25km from the station, as it's late night nothing was available. My cell ph is not responding from last 2days also network in village is poor. I was walking all alone the way with my bag and a torch. After moving 10km I was tired enough to move more. The route was all surrounded by forest and broken roads...where ever eyes goes it's all silent no one seen...not even an animal. I was still moving ahead slowly. I remember about my mother, said me, always be courageous and trust in bajrangi, hence I was gifted by a locket which I wore in my neck for a long time. It's getting more foggy and darkness increases , my torch will also not support more. I was moving still, suddenly I heard from anywhere barking of dogs ...soon the dogs follow me.

.I was walking still , not attending the dogs..but the dogs starts running behind me, so I felt scared and starts running too. Soon, I kn't move ahead more and hit by a stone and fell down ,lost my torch and began to get out of sense...just could hear the dogs are crying...then I remember nothing. Later when I came back to sense...I saw a man standing with a fire stick infront of me. Said to me, ( Babu , kutto ko dekh kar daudna nahi kavi...lagta hai musafir ho! Kafi chot lagi hai, aaj raat mere jagah mey ruk jaye toh behtar hoga..subah apni manzil ki aur cale jana). I listen to him and agreed rapidly as I was hungry and injured too. He took me to a shelter beneath a tree, where I saw a woman and a kid sitting infront of bonfire, preparing food and the kid was waiting with his plate , as if hungry from a century. I was offered to sit infront of the bonfire and was given medicine to cure my injury. I was offered food to eat...it's tasty . After , food I felt sleepy, I asked by the time from where do they belong...all they gave a scared smile to me, looking each other. Later I slept due to tiredness.

Next morning it's 4am..Ii wake up, but what I saw, it's unbelievable. The family were no where. I search for them and seen the kid sitting in the branch of a tree and the man is also climbing the same tree , together they sat and looking down, no word they reply to my words....suddenly what I saw then, the women is climbing another tree in crawling way. Her toes got turned and moving up...slowly all they vanished. Soon I left from there , running as fast as I can. I reached then to an open field, where a farmer was cultivating....i approach to the farmer to talk...it's now 6am morning..the farmer ask me , (Babu kaha jao ge?). I told him my village near by...he told ya, it's near only , you will get travel mode now. I told about the incident happened last night. He said, I had come through some supernatural powers...the family was dead long ago, due to starving they end their life in those trees. Now, mostly at night 2pm to 3pm or 4pm they are seen there. But they never harm anybody...it's heard from locals. You are lucky. After listening to farmer, I realise what I saw was not illusion it's real or fantasy still a suspense for me. Finally , I reached my village and didn't share those with others.
