Chapter 1
There are some incidents which happened in my life and made my soul tremble. One of the incidents happened with me and with my late mom in that strange hospital. Me and my mom lived alone in our self-made home. My father died in an unfortunate road accident when I was just 3 years old. My dad's family never liked my mom as she belonged to a poor family and her religion was different. My dad never looked at wealth, he always looked at the purity and beauty of the heart. This is the reason which made love marriage happen between my parents.
After my father died, me and my mom were helpless because dad's family refused to give us support. The refusal of their support was heart brokening. There was no one in this world to support us. My mom decided to become my father and hold my hands and take me to the way of a bright future all alone. Since I was 3 my mom only and only took care of me. My mom struggled a year all alone to make a living. After a year, fortunately she got a job. Though she belonged to a poor family, she was more talented and hard working than my father also. Since she got her job, we lived happily but my mom had to struggle and work hard and give all her leisure time to her work so that I can live happily with no worries. No one in this world loved me other than my mom. She was like a stick of a blind man to me who showed and guided me in every step and in future I have to be the one and only stick for my mom.
Years passed, times changed, I changed, my behaviour, character, appearance,my mind, my love and affection towards my mom. The love towards my mum was priceless and got increased within these years. Times changed but the love of my mom remained the same. I got a job after so much struggle and now it was time for me to become the stick for my mom. My mom was now grown old and she was not able to do any of the household work. Now all the work was on my shoulders. It was time for me to give all the pleasures and happiness to my mom. I couldn't spend time with her a lot during the day as I always have to go to work. But during the night I give all my time to my mom. Especially I remain vigilant while she's sleeping. Because she had a problem with waking while sleeping. Once she gets into deep sleep there are chances that she might walk. When she sleeps I used to lock the door from outside but that night I forgot to do it. That night when it was around 3 I don't know when my mom woke up and went out of the house. Her eyes were closed and her legs were moving ahead. Her body and her mind were unknown to this. Her legs were taking her to the graveyard which is almost 4 kilometres away from our house.
I woke up from my deep sleep to drink water as I mostly feel thirsty while sleeping. I drank water and I was moving ahead to my room but then I noticed that the door of my mom’s room was open. I went in immediately and found that she was missing. I was shocked to see this and I sensed something was wrong. Later I realised that I forgot to lock the door of the room. I took my bike key and went out in search of my mom. I was shouting for my mom and was cursing myself to be so careless. At one place I stopped, crying for my mom,abusing myself, I was completely helpless. I thought of calling the police but then one thing came into my mind. Once my mom said that she usually dreams of the graveyard where my dad’s grave is present. I got some hope and a clue to find my mom. I drove as fast as I could to that place. It’s been years I haven't even gone through that way. Last time I went there to bury my dad’s body. When I entered that area I found that area was completely deserted and dead trees around with no or dead leaves in them. I moved ahead and found my mom lying opposite to the graveyard. She was bleeding a lot and her clothes were red-blood in colour. It seemed like she met with an accident. This completely disturbed me from inside. My body was shivering very badly because in my lifetime I have never seen such an accident and that too with my mom. I immediately somehow made her sit on my bike and went deep inside that deserted area in search of hospitals. I tried googling it but I couldn't find a network in that area. I could only see the road with the headlight of my bike and dead trees around. I was driving as fast as I could with my tearful eyes which could see no hope ahead. After some miles I saw a shining building which had the logo of a hospital. This was strange because how can someone build a hospital in this horrific place with no people around. People will never think about a hospital which is present in a nearby forest area.
I didn't think much about it, so I immediately admitted my mom to the hospital. The hospital consisted of 5 floors and my mom was admitted in a room which was present on the 5th floor. The hospital seemed to be full except for the 5th floor. I only saw some doctors and nurses going from one room to another. I couldn't find any person on the 5th floor. I waited outside the room,praying to the god. My ears were waiting for the doctors to say that my mom is out of danger and my eyes were eager to see the smile on the face of the doctor. At that time I saw a woman speaking to a doctor about her father. Her case and my case were almost similar. Her father also met with an accident on that particular road where my mom met. I didn't talk to her but I heard this while she was speaking to the doctor.
You can call that woman a girl because she seemed to be young around my age. After the conversation between her and the doctor she sat opposite to me. After some time I fell asleep. My eyes were closed and I went into a deep sleep. Then I suddenly felt something walking on my leg and it was tickling me. I opened my eyes immediately and looked at my leg. I saw a deadly looking, black creature on my leg. It was a leech which was sucking my blood and was killing me slowly. I was about to shout but then that girl came near me and she somehow magically removed that deadly creature. I was shocked to see a leech inside the hospital. I thanked that girl for removing that creature.
She gave a short but a beautiful smile, welcoming me. I could see tears in her eyes and I was sure that these tears were for her father who was being treated.
She asked me about me and my mom. Even I asked about her and her father. She sat beside me and we both were talking to each other about our lives. Gradually we both started to feel comfortable talking with each other. We spoke about our hobbies,education,job and past life. We both became best friends within the half an hour talk.
During the conversation both the doctors came out of our parent’s room and they gave a smile to us at the very same time. This is what our eyes were waiting for. We gave a handshake to them and thanked them from the core of our heart. The doctors said, “ You can meet your respective parents after half an hour” And they left.
We both looked at each other with a wonderful smile on our faces with tears of joy. Exactly after 3 seconds we cuddled each other. Just before half an hour we were strangers to each other and after that talk we became best friends and cuddled each other. So you can imagine how close we became so soon.
We decided to go for a walk inside the hospital. We used the staircase instead of the elevator.
“Oh! By the way I forgot to ask your name”
“Yeah, even i forgot to ask your name, friend”
“We got so engrossed in talking that we forgot to ask each other’s name”
“Well,my name is Om and what's yours?”
“My name is Rosy”
“Oh such a beautiful name! But i will call you as Pink”
haha “But why om?”
“Because as you said that your favourite colour is pink and your lipstick is pink, your eyeshadows are pink, when you blush your cheeks turn pink instead of red. This colour is calm as you, this colour is lovely as you.”
“OMG! Om now you are really blushing me. Thanks for the compliment mate.”
“No need for thanks. Truth is truth.”
We did not know when we reached the 2nd floor while talking,we were so engaged in talking. It was about to be half an hour so we decided to go back to the 5th floor as our parents will come in a conscious state and we can meet them.
Let me say what the floors looked like. In each floor there were around 15 rooms and the last room was exactly opposite to the lift and it was 30 feet away from the lift. We were on the 3rd floor when we heard a strange sound from the last room. Surprisingly we saw that the floor was completely empty. We both looked at each other with confused faces. We walked slowly towards the last room. The closer we were going, louder the sound was being produced. The sounds were as if someone was weeping, beating someone badly and evil laugh. We came near the room and asked each other with our eyes whether to open the door or not. I gathered courage and opened the door.
The scene I saw after opening the door , that horrible scene left both of us speechless. We saw all the dead bodies with white cloth on them floating in the air with no heads. We just turned about to run away from there but then a headless body stood in front of pink. Then his head came somewhere from inside the room and got attached with the body. The evil eyes were looking at pink with bad intentions and his neck was a little tilted. Seeing the evil’s eye, Pink fainted there. I was too scared but then the body suddenly disappeared as soon as Pink fainted. I tried waking Pink and hopefully she got up soon. We both ran to our parents on the 5th floor but when we were on the 4th floor, a strange energy pulled us to a room and locked the door. We were so worried about our parents. That room seemed like a cabin of a doctor with a table, a monitor and lots of files on it. The monitor opened automatically and showed us a view of the 5th floor. We saw that the doors of our parent’s room opened slowly. Both the stretchers on which our parents were lying came out of the room simultaneously. We also saw the 2 doctors and nurses coming out of the room with sharp knives in their hands. Their eyes were black and some of them didn't have hands and some had burned necks. They stabbed our parents mercilessly. Pink was screaming, crying and going crazy. I somehow controlled my emotions and tried to break the door. After trying a lot, finally I broke the door and we both rushed to the 5th floor through the staircase. When we reached the 5th floor we saw that those evil creatures were holding our parents with their necks. On the other hand they had a lighter, from this we guessed what would happen next. I ran towards them to stop them from doing so but when I came near them, I got severe pain in my knee region and if I try to move ahead my legs I get severe pain in my neck as if someone is holding it tightly. Even pink experienced the same thing. I failed to stop them from burning themselves. When my mom and pink’s father were burning in the fire, they were crying and yelling hard and their tears were calling my feet towards them but the invisible evils present there did not want me to go forward. I can only move backwards. Now half of the floor was burned except the staircase and the lift. We decided to go through the staircase but when we looked at the staircase we saw heads with no body coming towards us. We were extremely frightened. The only hope was lift.
We entered into the lift and waited for the doors to be closed. When the doors closed we felt a little safe. We reached the ground floor without any problem. We came out of the hospital and I took my bike. Pink was crying so I wiped her tears and made her sit on my bike.
While starting my bike, my sight went to the terrace of the hospital. I saw my mom standing with tearful eyes and a helpless face. I could read her eyes very clearly who were saying, “ O darling! I'm always with you. My last wish was to keep you in my lap during my last breath which remained undone. All the things and sacrifices I have done were for you only my son! Love you and goodbye!”
All the words said through her eyes were heart touching. I wiped my tears and took pink to my home safely. She was under depression for over 2 months as she lost her father. She also didn't speak to me these days. After 2 months she started speaking with me and after a year our feelings developed and we both got married to each other.
I still remain in the pain of my mom;s death because all her memories and love still reside in my heart and the way Pink loves me, doesn't let those feelings fade away and always reminds me of my mom.
