Posessed ( future track)

1 am at a lonely road, Moga

She sat at the pavement waiting for the cab that she booked to take her home as the car (borrowed from a friend) she drove, broke midway . It was cold and creepy. She was getting nervous. There were no vehicles passing by and at that hours even rickshaws were not available. She was driving home after attending her colleague's birthday party

Suddenly, she saw a shadow behind a tree located at the opposite direction.  She stood up immediately and called out . She was desperate to leave that place . It was too eerie. She needed help. The taxi was taking time to fetch her. The darkness and loneliness was killing her to the core. 

The silence of the dark nite

" Koyi hain vahan". There was no reply. But she could feel a presence of a human nearby. She took slow steps towards the tree. Perhaps someone was trapped and needed help indeed. But there was no one.

She felt relieved when she saw the headlights of an approaching car. Her cab arrived. As she turned away from the tree to walk towards the car, she felt a cold chill ran down her spine when a woman's soft voice called out her name.

" Tejo". 

She was shocked and looked back but no one was there. " Mam ajao", the taxi driver's polite voice interrupted . She quickly moved towards the cab. There was something she couldn't understand. Her shoulders felt heavy when she took a seat in the vehicle. Her head spinned and she fell unconscious. 

Minutes later

She could hear a deep voice along with some water sprinkled on her face. "Are u okay mam?".

She smiled and nodded. The driver found her expressions a little strange but he just continued driving. 

Twenty minutes later.

Sati was shocked to see the smiling tejo standing right at the front entrance when half hour earlier she (tejo) sounded so nervous on the phone stating that the cab was taking time and she was all alone .

 The whole family was at the next village attending Dolly's niece's sangeet function and no one was picking up her (sati) frantic calls to inform her daughter's state of anxiety after having her car broke down on a lonely road middle of the nite.

She couldn't even take a rickshaw to reach to her daughter as there were none available at that time and the next door neighbor left two days earlier to town to visit his sick mother. 

" Shukar hain , tu thik thak pahunchgeyi". She rushed forward and hugged her daughter. " 

Ten minutes later, tejo's bedroom

Sati was surprised to see her beloved daughter deep in slumber. Tejo never fall asleep without having her nite glass of milk . From young she couldn't sleep without drinking it. Sati sighed. People change with time. 

As she walked towards the door she turned to look back at the sleeping tejo. She looked different. Sati could feel that something was amiss 

Seconds later

Tejo opened her eyes at once after her mother left and sat up straight on her bed with an evil smirk.
