I slowly opened my eyes and met my gaze with that of Anjali who was constantly starring at my face.
As soon as she realised I am awaked and starring at her she gets startled and asked, " when did you open your eyes??".
I sighed and said, " when you were starring at me".
She forced a laugh and replied, " who is starring at you, I was starring at my body which is covered in bandages just because of you".
I rolled my eyes and convinced myself this is the perfect explanation why would she thought about me for a stranger obviously this was for her body. I smiled and apologized to her," Sorry, I know I am wrong . I don't have any right to disfigure your body ".
She cut the sentance , " It's okay, as you did it for saving someone but be aware if you do this again I will kick you out of my body". She pouted and sit down on the couch infront of the bed.
I was about to close my eyes again but a knock on the door divert my attention.The door opened slowly. Aarav and Riya were standing there with a maid who was holding a bowl in her hand . They enter the room and after seeing me awake they hurriedly come towards me . Aarav ordered the maid , she placed the bowl on the table and than left.
Aarav sat on the chair beside my bed and asked, Are you alright??
He grabbed my hand and start caressing it .
Anjali who was sitting also came across for listening our conversation. She stand beside Aarav and said, "When I was alive you spend all your day in teasing me and now you're caressing my hand. you street dog stop touching my hand".
I smiled internally after listening her sarcastic taunts but my face remains calm. Suddenly Aarav phone rang and he went outside . After that Anjali calm down. Sense of jealousy can be feeled in her eyes. Really she is truly lucky for having a one who loves her .
Riya who was standing quiet finally asks," Are you alright??
I chuckled and asked, "it seems young lady was tensed because of me".
Riya clenched her fists and said, " I was not tensed stop irritating me".
Oh, I said , it seems that I was highly thinking for myself . All in all I am just a poor maid".
"I don't mean it . Anjali Ahuja you know very well how to twist sentance ". She said while picking the bowl from the table .
Anjali who was watching quietly said, "If you want to talk than just do it why are you tainting my name, guys, it's not fair".
Suddenly the bowl falls from Riya's hands on the ground
Riya rolled her eyes in the room and asked me while stepping backward, Who are you??
I was startled by this unexpected question but I said with a calm expression, "What are talking young lady . I am Anjali your maid ".
Anjali who was talking freely suddenly become attentive she stand infront of Riya and waved her hand but there was no certain reaction that can tell us that she can see Anjali.
Anjali turns towards me , "I think she's just spouting nonsense" said in a sarcastic tone.
"I am not spouting nonsense and you know it very well", Riya said and the fear of her eyes gets replaced with a smirk.
We both were startled as we feel that Riya may cannot see Anjali but she can definitely listen her .
Anjali turns towards me and said," I think their whole family is mentally ill. Who smiles like after knowing that they are listening to a ghost".
Riya closed the door and sat beside me .
"We are not mentally ill but we're special because we can sense the any type of ghost, positive and negative energy ", She said while crossing her arms around her chest
I asked , when did you know about this??
"That's not important . The important thing is who are you ?? If she is Anjali." She asked
Why do you think I will tell?? I replied with the same tone.
She was taken aback by my words but she calm herself and said, "oh so this are your true colors. Not bad i was fed up with your mask.well, I don't care who you're "
I and Anjali stared towards each and than Anjali asks her, than what did you want ??
Riya rolled her eyes in the direction of voice and than again met her gaze with me," You have to delete a bug from my life??
In confusion i asked ,bug??
"Yes, bug. if you want me to not disclose your secret to others. You have to break my engagement with Varun".
My eyes widened and brows frowned and I ask with curiosity, "Doesn't it was you who want to marry him at all cost ?? Than why this sudden change??"
"Marry him , my foot. He was a bloody blackmailer. If I don't do what he says he will expose my secret to the world and as I know my family they will not think twice for killing me for the sake of their so called reputation "she said and chuckled with teary eyes.
I was first shocked but then I smiled what is best than killing two birds with one Arrow. Before I can say anything Aarav enters the room and once again the room fills with silence.
What happens?? I am not a ghost why are you all startled after seeing me, he said with a smile.
After talking for sometime he leaves with Riya.
After they left, Anjali screamed," I know all this are not simple humans. See ".
"Don't be impulsive. Because we don't know who else in this family has this special ability". I said.
What special ability ,i feel that they are really demons ?? Anjali said while starring at the closed door.
I saw her face and than start thinking about all this??
