Priya and Rajesh used to go to this garden almost every weekend as it was the place they first met. People often used to ask them if they have seen the ghost of the woman sitting on the wood log there, as others say. But they never witnessed anything like that. Also, they never believed in ghosts and ghostly rumours. One evening while returning back home, Priya was hit by a car and lost her life. Rajesh isolated himself and stopped going out anywhere. But one evening Rajesh decided to go to the garden. Tears started rolling down his eyes. The woman on the wood log got up and began consoling Rajesh. She told him, “I have also lost my husband 4 years back. I often come here for some peace. I can feel your pain. Rajesh felt an instant connect. Maybe it was this pain that connected their souls. He vented out all his pain and asked her, “why you keep crying but never talk to people? Why you never react to those ghostly rumours? She smiled and said, “Because I am a ghost, not everybody can see me but only a few lonely souls with the aching heart can, who have nobody to talk to. I committed suicide because I couldn’t handle the pain of losing my love. I was all alone. Take care of yourself. Try to help someone dealing with pain and loneliness, this will heal your pain too”. And she disappeared again.   #TellTaleThursday with ANSHU & PRIYA
