MAHHI AND NANDINI HAD GONE FOR TREKKING IN THE FORESTS. AFTER A LONG WALK THEY WERE TIRED AND IT HAD STARTED TO RAIN. THEY STARTED LOOKING FOR A SHELTER. FINALLY THEY FOUND A SMALL DESERTED COTTAGE THAT WAS HIDDEN AMONG A LUSH GREEN ROOF OF RHODODRENDRONS. WHEN SUNLIGHT SEEPED THROUGH IT A BEAUTIFUL RAINBOW WAS BEING FORMED. I THINK WE DO NOT NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THE VIEW IN THE FOREST. MAHHI RUSHED INTO THE HOUSE AND NANDU FOLLOWED HER. THEY SAT ON THE BED. NANDU AND MAHHI HEARD SOME STRANGE NOISES AFTER A LONG SILENCE FROM THE ADJACENT ROOM. THEY WENT TO THE ADJACENT ROOM BUT THERE WAS NO ONE.
MAHHI SAID “THERE IS SURELY SOME GHOSTS. NO DOUBT THERE IS.”
NANDU REPLIED “NO, GHOST IS NEVER EXPLAINED BY SCIENCE. THERE CANNOT BE ANY GHOSTS.”
MAHHI SAID “MS SCIENTIST THERE IS SOME GHOST.”
NANDU REPLIED ANGRILLY “STOP IT MAHHI THERE ARE NO GHOSTS.”
MAHHI SAID “MS SCIENTIST, EXPLAIN THIS INCIDENT.”
NANDU SAID “I NEED SOME TIME.”
MAHHI SAID “LET’S RUN AWAY.”
NANDU SAID “WHERE DO YOU EXPECT US TO GO IN SUCH A RAINY DAY THAT ALSO IN A FOREST.”
MAHHI SAID “I AM HUNGRY.I AM EATING SOME FOOD.”
NANDU DIDN’T HEAR THAT. SHE WAS BUSY THINKING ABOUT GHOSTS.
AGAIN THE RAIN HAD STARTED.
FINALLY THEY WENT TO SLEEP AT 10 PM. AT MIDNIGHT MAHHI AND NANDU AGAIN HEARD THE SAME NOISE. MAHHI BECAME VERY AFRAID SHE COULD ONLY THINK ABOUT GHOSTS.
NANDU WAS AGOG TO FIND WHETHER GHOSTS EXISTED OR NOT. THE NOISE WAS BECOMING LOUDER.
NANDU WHISPERED TO MAHHI “MAHHI, YOU STAY HERE. I AM GOING.”
MAHHI WHISPERED BACK “YOUR SCIENCE IS WRONG THERE IS GHOST.”
NANDU WANTED TO ANSWER BACK BUT FELT IT USELESS TO DO SO IN THE SITUATION. SHE ENTERED THE ROOM BUT FOUND NO ONE. SHE TURNED BACK AND WAS ABOUT TO GO BACK WHEN SHE SAW A CAT. THE CAT HID ITSELF UNDER THE BED AS SOON AS IT SAW HER.
NANDU FOUND THAT THE CAUSE OF THE SOUND WAS THE CAT, WHO WAS WALKING ON DRY LEAVES SPREAD ALL OVER THE FLOOR.
NEXT DAY SHE EXPLAINED TO MAHHI THAT WHY SUCH A WEIRD SOUND WAS COMING.
THEN SHE SAID “MAHHI, I TOLD THAT SCIENCE WAS CORRECT.”
MAHHI REPLIED “GHOST WOULD HAVE BEEN SO MUCH INTERESTING.”
NANDU SAID “LET GHOSTS BE CONFINED IN YOUR STORIES AND DREAMS.”
MAHHI SAID “CAN YOUR SCIENCE EXPLAIN WHAT A CAT WAS DOING HERE.”
NANDU REPLIED “YESTERDAY IT WAS RAINING. SO THE CAT HAD ENTERED FROM THE WINDOW OF THAT ROOM WHICH IS OPEN, TO TAKE SHELTER.”
MAHHI SAID “LOOK THE RAIN HAS STOPPED.”
NANDINI ANSWERED “WE SHOULD BETTER CONTINUE OUR JOURNEY.”
NOW WHENEVER THEY REMMEMBER THIS INCIDENT, THEY LAUGH A LOT. THIS INCIDENT SURELY GAVE THEM A GOOD STORY TO TELL EVERYONE.
