PART 1
Ishita looked deep into Raman's eyes and said-main Ek aatma hoon.
Raman got shivered for a second in her words but next second he composed himself and said-oh samajh gaya, MTV bakra type ke show se ho.trying to make me fool. But madam raman bhalla ko koi bewakoof nahi bana sakta.
Ishita-i am not trying to make u fool. Main sach mein ek aatma hoon.
Raman -really, I never saw such a beautiful bhootni.
Ishita-main bhoot nahi hoon aatma hoon.
Raman -and what's the difference between the two, bhoot aur aatma mein unta hi difference hai jitna raman bhalla aur handsome word mein. Kya samjhi, nahi samjhi, matlab koi difference nahi. Like Raman bhalla and handsome is synonym of each other, uss tarah hi aatma is equal to bhoot. Waise bhi why I am discussing all this with u. Chalo utho,itni raat mein itne ghane jungle mein baithne mein darr nahi lagta. Come I will drop u home and one more thing u can't scare me.
Ishita-main sach mein aatma hoon and I was waiting for u.
Raman -what do u mean by waiting for me. Main koi Prince Charming hoon kya, that u were waiting for me. Actually I look like one but still I am a simple boy. Toh mujhe buddhu banana bandh karo and come let me drop u home. Aise aadhi raat ko nahi ghoomte,koi sher wer aa gaya toh. Naa re baba naa.come with me.
Ishita-why u r not believing, I am a spirit.
Raman -nahi chalna, yahin baithne ka mann hai raat bhar, ok. U sit here only, I am going. Saying so he start walking.
Ishita got up and start walking behind him.
Ishita-please trust me, I am a spirit. Please meri baat maan lo, raman please. She said and raman stopped in way.
He turned and said-pakdi gayi naa, agar tum spirit ho then how u know my name.kaun ho tum bolo, and who send u. Got it, uss kaminey abhi ne tumhe bheja hai naa, mujhe darane ke liye, saala fattu Kahin ka. But go and tell him ki raman bewakoof banne walon mein se nahi, aur tum bandh karo apna ghatiya acting. Saying so he start walking again.
Ishita was trying hard to make him listen but he was nowhere to listen. Finally they reached on the road, his car was on the other side, so he crossed the road and sat in his car saying-ab bhi keh raha hoon drama bandh karo, I will drop u home. Saying so he turned only to find her nowhere.
Raman get out of his car and look around saying-ab kahan gayi yeh naqli bhootni, only to see her standing in mid of the road and a truck was fast approaching to her.
Raman's eyes wide in horror, he screamed his lungs out-hatt jao, arey pagal ladki hatt jaa. He was saying but she was standing in mid of road.
Raman was about to run to her when the truck drove on her. He closed his eyes in terror and open sometime later only to see her still standing there with her arms open. His eyes got wide as reality stuck him.
Raman-is... Iska... matlab...yeh... yeh.. sach mein bhoot, nahi ,bhaago. Bhaag yahan se raman yeh sach ki bhootni hai. Thinking so he got into his car and was about to drive when she reached to him in a nano second and said-ab toh yakeen aa gaya naa.
Raman -haan meri maa,yakeen aa gaya. Tabhi toh bhaag raha hoon. He said in fear and tried to start the car but it wasn't started.
Raman -chal jaa meri maa.warna yeh bhootni mujhe kachcha chaba jayegi. He was saying when ishita said-bhoot nahi aatma.main aatma hoon.
Raman -kaisi aatma hai, ladhti hai. Achcha meri maa tu aatma hai. Now let me go.
Ishita-no I can't.
Raman shivered in fear and said-please mujhe jaane dijiye aatma ji, mere chote chote bachche mera wait kar rahe hai.
Ishita-lier u r not married. And I know this.
Raman bite his nail and said-arey Isse yeh bhi pata hai. Matlab mere nahi, meri kutiya ke, teen puppies mera wait kar rahe hai. Please let me go.
Ishita-please raman try to understand, I will hurt u. Infact I want ur help. Please help me. Only u can help me.
Raman -chal hatt, koi charity kholo hai. Let me go. Saying so he started the car and went away while ishita was running behind his car shouting and crying, help me Raman. Help me, only u can help me. But her cries fell on deaf ears and raman drove away.
He reached his mansion asap and went inside the small temple in his house. He took out the chalisha sangrah and start saying hanuman chalisha loudly.
Hearing his loud voice his mother came and said-what r u doing puttar in mid of night.
Raman look at Toshiji and said-maa bacha lo mujhe, maine bhootni dekhi, nahi aatma, nahi bhootni. He was saying shivering in fear only to receive a slap from his mother.
Toshiji-khote ke khur, tu sharab pee kar mandir mein ghus gaya, chal nikal warna chootiyaan maar maar kar muh tod dena hai maine tera. Bhootni dekhi hai, nikal warna main dikhati hoon tujhe churail.chal nikal. Saying so she chased away raman.
He went to his room. Locked his room from every corner and finally went to bed after changing. He covered his face under the blanket trying to sleep but everytime he close his eyes all he could see the truck driving over ishita.
He got up at once and went to have bath. He filled the tub with water and got settled in it cursing god.
Raman -hamesha meri hi loge naa bhagwaan ji. Itne dino baad ek patakha kudi dukhi thi, woh bhi bhootni nikli. Sala bhootni ka, apni toh kismet hi kharab hai. Upar se she knows my name, my marital status. Kahin address bhi naa jaanti ho. OMG mere kamre, mere bathroom mein aa gayi toh, mujhe toh hanuman chalisha bhi nahi yaad. Thik hai beta tere saath aisa ho Hona chahiye, dadi hamesha kehti thi ki puja kar, but tu toh dikha karne mein busy tha, ab mar uss bhootni ke haathon.
