RiKara~ The Return Of Dead

2~Imagination vs Reality

"But why mumma? She's my friend", she protested. "Promise me?", I repeated. She frowned but then promised me. "Good girl, OK now go downstairs I will come and give you something to eat", I said kissing her and she went. I went to the side where Kavya was sitting earlier. The toy car moved towards me on its own. I was terrified. 'Gauri, you OK? Is it paining?' He asked and I nodded in negative. I must be seeing things, never mind. I put all the toys back and was going when he pulled me and I turned to see his brown eyes staring at me.

He was sitting up and made me sit beside him and pulled me in a hug. "It's good you woke up," I said hugging him back. "Aww missing me?", he asked. "Yes", I said. He broke the hug and cupped my cheeks. "Now tell why were you terrified?", he asked and I laughed pretending I saw nothing. "It was just a lizard", I said and he laughed. "Lizard? It seemed as if you saw a ghost", he laughed even more. "You look cute", I said. "You too", he replied. "Now let's go down, I m hungry."

We went downstairs hand in hand and sat beside each other. First Omi then me then Kavya then uncle then aunty. I served everyone and ate without talking. When I was done eating, I went to the library in the room and it was very beautiful. I thought to clean it as it was dusty. I cleaned everything and saw a piano, I cleaned it as well and played it. I didn't knew I can play so well. Then I stood up and went out of there.

Later that day, uncle was gone to office and aunty and I were busy in chores. When it were all done, I went to my room and saw Kavya scribbling something in a diary. "KV", I called. "Yes mumma", she replied while writing. "Sleep early, we are going for your admission tomorrow morning", I said. "Ok mumma", she replied in her sweet voice and I kissed her and sat on the bed.

Soon night approached, I was making the bed when I felt someone else in the room besides me. I looked around, there was no one. I continued with my work and my gaze shifted on the diary in which Kavya was writing something. I thought to read it, no no, it might be a private diary, but I m her mother, and a daughter's best friend is mother, I should read it. I turned to the first page, others were empty. There was written, 'I got a new friend today, Kriya aunty, she's just like mumma, I even made mumma meet her but she couldn't see her, she was scared but don't know why. She said not to talk to any stranger, I agreed, maybe she is right, but I will have to play with her secretly." What is all this? Kriya and all? How did she crawl out of bed? How did the toy came towards me on it's own and how she could see her but I couldn't? I will have to find out the truth.
