Few months later:
While playing in a garden, Mittu came chasing a happy butterfly to another corner of the garden and saw a woman with acnes and rashes on face, disintegrated hair, fearful look and wearing dirty gown.
The woman was looking at her from behind a big tree. She was holding a bag in one hand and a chocolate in another.
Mittu was looking at her as if she got hypnotized while Dipika called her from a distance.
Mittu looked at her mom and said, “Coming Mom, one minute please!”
While going with her mom back to the see-saw of the garden, Mittu was looking at the tree. The woman behind the tree was staring and smiling at her and suddenly disappeared behind the tree.
Then the woman behind the tree, Tarini, went to a nearby road and stopped two children and said by grinning her teeth, “Come with me. Come with me! I will take you to chocolate’s bungalow! Lot of chocolates!”
Seeing her bizarre appearance, both children ran away with fear. She was looking inhuman. Then she started walking on the street, which was busy with traffic, fearlessly! The vehicles had to stop but she wouldn’t.
One such vehicle applied sudden breaks to let Tarini move out of its way. The two persons sitting on front seat of the car got a glimpse of her face. One of them, at driver’s seat was Shirish who said to the other Sumedh, “Look at the mad woman on the road. I think I have seen her before!”
Sumedh said, “Yes, she looks familiar to me! Anyways, leave it.”
Suddenly, Tarini turned back smiling bewitchingly and cunningly. For a moment, Sumedh and Shirish’s heartbeats skipped a bit by her fierce look. Later, seeing her move away, both increased the speed. For a moment they got a flash of past events when they had planned a conspiracy against Tarini in school.
Suddenly, Tarini again turned back and started moving in the middle of the road in front of their car.
Seeing her again in front on the road, Shirish was unable to apply breaks quickly. Instead, in a hurry, he moved the steering wheel clockwise to prevent her from dashing against their car.
A loaded 18-wheeler heavy truck was approaching from behind in full speed. The truck driver got bewildered, couldn’t apply breaks in time and rammed into the car. The truck’s front side bumper got broken and it got stuck in the car and both vehicles together dashed against the strong divider. The truck driver managed to jump on the other side of the road and the people nearby quickly picked him up and moved on footpath at safer place. The truck driver was out of danger.
The crashing of both vehicles on divider, loosened one of the truck’s front wheels and the axle got twisted and plunged into Sumedh’s body. Sumedh died instantly, leaving Suresh alive for few minutes to experience what happens next.
Both vehicles’ glasses broke into pieces and got pierced in the body of Sumedh and Shirish. A long metal rod under the bumper got plunged into car’s bonnet. Petrol leakage also started. Shirish had applied seat belt hence couldn’t move himself anywhere. A spark was triggered, both vehicles caught fire with a deafening blast and flames spread everywhere. This time, it was Shirish’s turn to die!
The car’s number plate in CCTV made it easier to confirm the identity of the car owner and the other person.
People were wondering where the lady had gone who caused this accident. Since that day, no one saw Tarini. Many witnesses saw her during this accident on the road wandering endlessly but CCTV cameras didn’t get any of her images!
At a hotel in Mumbai, Dipesh and Maya were unaware of this, because they were busy making love in a room. Once they finish, they will probably turn on the television and find out in the news!
(The story ends here but karma continues!)
