Part 1All girls of standard 12 were sitting in canteen making a circle...they were totally engrossed in story 4 of them were narrating...
"And then the coin moved..." she stated making everyone else gasp...
"Natasha...didn't u guys get scared?" Nerdy Tanu asked fixing her glasses...
Natasha smirked..."me Sasha and Tina were so excited in that moment...but this Gauri...her face was worth watching" she giggled...
"That's mean Natasha..." Gauri said pouting while everyone else laughed..
"Was that good spirit or bad spirit?" Another girl from group asked...
"He was a good spirit...he praised about my beauty a lot" Sasha replied while applying lipstick looking at mirror...
"And about me too..."Tina chirped...
Gauri opened her mouth to add something but Natasha interrupted...
"Okay Girls...Dismiss! That's all for today...Natasha needs to have her lunch.." She said smiling fakely...
"Natasha needs to have her lunch..." a girl standing at far mimicked collecting her food tray...
"Arohi..." Shefali elbowed her laughing..."let's sit there..."
"How can they all believe their non-sense...? Guys last night we called a spirit...and he was praising our beauty...!" She said rolling her eyes..."like seriously...Bhoot k pass log kam pad gye the drane ko...jo vo in bhootnis se darne aa gya... "
Shefali gestured her that Natasha and her minions are coming in their direction...
Arohi looked at them and then smirked...
"U know what Shefu...Some people must have seen themselves in mirror last night...and now they are spreading rumors that they called some spirit..." She giggled making Shefali widen her eyes...
Natasha who heard Arohi came to her table...
"Excuse me Arohi...u said something about us?"
Arohi gave her a tight smile..."No! I was talking about some wannabe people...u know they can go to any extent just to pretend themselves cool...Idiots"
Natasha thumped her hand on table..."Don't act smart with me..." she pointed finger at her...
Arohi tilted her head to side and calmly pushed her finger downwards..."Thats the difference between us...I don't need to act smart...I am born smart!" She winked...
"Arohi" Natasha grunted loudly...
"Yes Natasha..." she batted her eyes...
Natasha left shooting daggers at her...
Shefali chuckled "u can't live without picking fight with her..."
Arohi giggled... "absolutely not.."
"Anyway What are ur plans for ur 18th bday tomorrow? " Shefali asked munching on her burger...
"Dad is returning from his trip today...I will spend my whole day with him..." she smiled..
Shefali nodded as they completed their lunch talking about random things...
-------
Arohi was sitting in living room n watching tv when her caretaker who was an elderly woman in her 60's brought milk n snacks for her..
"Baby...how was ur school today?" She asked placing the tray...
"Fine" she replied picking the glass..."Rose why u give so much milk everyday..?" She pouted...
"Bcz it's good for health" She replied coming behind her...she started combing her hair..."tell me u fought with that Mehra girl today too..?" She asked strictly...
Arohi sipped her milk..."Rose...Natasha and her friends were lying..."
"Arohi baby how many I have told u...Fighting is not a good habit..." She scolded braiding her hair..
"But she was wrong...they were lying to everyone.."She whined..
Rose smiled..."u shouldn't pick fights with anyone like that...if they are lying God will punish them...u don't need to become God" she said playfully hitting her head...
"Ouch..!" Arohi giggled..."Rose.." she called after few seconds...
"Hmm..."
"Do Spirits exist...?" Arohi asked thoughtfully...
"What made u ask this?" Rose inquired...
"Natasha and her friends were telling that they called a spirit last night...so tell na do spirit exists...?" Arohi asked again...
"It depends on belief..."
"U believe?"
"Yes"
"Where they live then?" Arohi asked making her sit beside..
Rose laughed seeing her curiosity..."they live on other side..."
Arohi looked at her intentionally..."is it possible to call them from other side...like Natasha said"
"Yes...there are few methods by which one can call spirit on earth...but one should never call them..."
"Why...?"
"There are two types of spirit...Good and evil...Good spirit don't harm us but evil spirits do...and one we call them...they have to go through many difficulties to reach earth..." She slapped her cheeks playfully...
"Hmm...but we can send them back anytime...right?" She questioned...
Rose shook her head in denial..."No..! Once they come here...it's their wish to go back or not"
"Its so weird" she giggled...
Rose smiled..."Now Stop all this...its time for homework..."
Arohi nodded and switching off tv went to her room...
---------
"Happy Birthday Arohi..." Shefali chirped on other side of phone...
"Thank you" Arohi replied smiling faintly...
"Uncle wished u first right?" Shefali asked excitedly...
Arohi's smile vanished..."yes...off course...okay Shefu bye...someone else is calling me..."
She kept the mobile beside her dejected...when there was a knock at door...she dragged herself out of bed and opened the door to find a smiling Rose with cake...
"Happy Birthday Arohi...Baby"
Arohi smiled and opened the door completely for her..."Thank U Rose"
After making Arohi cut cake and giving her blessings Rose left...
Arohi picked her mobile and dialed her father's number...
"What Arohi...?" He barked from other side...
"D...Dad" she stammered..."u...u sa..id u will c..come today b..b..but"
"I have work to do Arohi..." he said harshly...
"Its my birthday" Arohi said softly...
"So? I have kept enough money in ur account...go out with ur friends Party...Don't bother me!" His harsh voice pierced in her ears...
"D..Dad" Arohi spoke but the line from other side was disconnected...she threw the phone away and fell on bed crying...Her Dad is always rude with her...when she was 3 her mother died while saving her from a speeding car...her Dad blames her for her mother's death and that is why he is always rude with her...
Arohi wiped her tears and took out photograph of her mother beneath her pillow...
"I wish u were here mom..." she hugged photograph close to her heart...
She quickly sat up as something struck her...keeping the photograph aside she switched on her laptop...
"How to call a spirit?"
She typed in search engine and pressed enter...
Many links appeared on her screen...she opened the first link and read it...
She watched few videos too...She picked up a pen and notebook and wrote all the prayers...
"I will call u here mom..." she whispered smiling...
Arohi set up candles making a diamond in square pattern...she kept a coin in the middle and once satisfied with everything she sat and started chanting prayers constantly remembering her mother...
She opened her eyes smiling and looked at coin...but the smile vanished as there was no movement in coin...
"Mom...Mom..." she called out for her but still no movement in coin..
She sighed and stood up..."Bakwas...I knew it everything was rubbish...there is no way we can contact with someone who is dead..." she threw the paper and stood up from floor...
She slipped in sleep hugging her Mom's photograph...
The coin glowed suddenly...and after a brisk second it moved slightly and all candles extinguished...
A pair of red eyes shone in darkness of room...a shadow walked towards bed where Arohi was sleeping...the shadow stared at sleeping face of Arohi and tried touching her but couldn't...he observed her for a while...he noticed she was clutching something close to her heart...he flattened his palm and the thing was floating above his hand in next second...it was a photograph of a lady...the girl who was sleeping resembled a lot to the lady in photograph...maybe she is mother of this girl...he wondered and returned photograph back to its place...
His eyes travelled to mirror where he couldn't see himself...he smirked...
"Arjun Singhania is back..." he said spitefully..."Kahani jo adhuri reh gayi thi...use ab main pura karunga!"
