Nisha was fed up with being alone all the time. How could she play wen she had no friend ? she was not interested in social networking also...so, she was in bad mood. She sat on the garden swing and kicked angrily at the weed. Her mother had said, " no more watching tv today ! go out n play. " nisha felt sry for herself. " how can I play all alone? It's soo boring."
" boo! "said a voice from behind her. " boo! " it said again.
Nisha thought it must be sunitha, the girl next door. Nisha didn't play with sunitha much, because she was always fighting, pushing n grabbing ! nisha said " go away, sunitha, I'm not in the mood for this silliness."
There was a silence. Then again, a small trembling voice said, " bo-o-o". nisha turned and looked. She was astonished at the sight...she saw a ghost...!!
Who r u ? why r u like this...wats this white smoke around u ?...wait! wait !!Are u a ghost ?
" yeah !" a reply came...
" then why r u soo small ? " asked nisha
" oh! Thank goodness !! " exclaimed the ghost. " a brave child who doesn't scream and run away wen I ...the ghost myself is introducing to u !"
" wats ur name ?"nisha asked
" boo!" ghost replied... " okay, but wats ur name ?" " boo. My name is boo.it's short for boo thame my friends cal me boo. You can be my friend if u want to "
" yes, I'd like to," said nisha with sparkle in her eyes...she was very happy for getting a new friend. " where r ur friends ? "she questioned beamingly
" they've all gone away" he replied sadly. " I've no friends either. Come n sit on the swing along with me."
Boo did, and nisha pushed the swing back n forth while the two of them talked. Wat do a girl and ghost talk abt ? ( think...think !! )
Well, abt ghosts n girls, ofcourse...!!
Nut, boo knew much more abt girls than nisha knew abt ghosts. But nisha found that she loved to listen to boo's ghost talk.
Surprise !!
Nisha's mother looked out of the kitchen window and wondered at her daughter's change of mood. Just a few mins ago she had been sulking n frowing, n now she was smiling and seemed to be talking or singing to herself ! good, it was time for lunch anyway !!
" nisha, lunch ! " she called.
" just a min. mom ! " hurriedly she asked boo, " wat abt u ? have u had ur lunch or wil u accompany me ? "
Boo laughed long n loud... " lunch ? ghosts don't eat lunch, breakfast nor dinner."
" shh ! " warned nisha, at the noise boo was making. " my mom wil hear u ! "
" no. she won't, " said boo. " no one can see me or hear me unless I want them to ! "
" then come with me to my room...you can wait there while I finish my lunch, n then we can talk n play all afternoon. " nisha said
And that's wat they did. Later, after nisha finished her tea, they went out into the garden again. They chit chatted on many things all through the evening n finally after having dinner.
At bed time nisha didn't want to part with her new friend. " boo, please come n sleep in my room," she said
Boo laughed... " ghosts don't sleep but I'll stay with u ! "
