HER GHOST 4
My head ached like it was being hit with a hammer. With a hand on my head, I struggled to open my eyes. I made a circular movement with my eyes, scanning the room like a thief who stole something and was searching for an escape.
I was startled as realization dawned on me.
How did I get here?
Just how did I end up in a hospital bed?
I asked within.
I made to sit up and almost fell but was supported by a hand which stopped my fall.
“Easy Abby. You aren’t that strong yet”
I looked up and saw my friend Joy who was standing above me. A sudden rush of relieved overwhelmed me on seeing her by my side. Joy was a close friend. People who didn’t know much about us hardly believed that we weren’t sisters.
“How long have I been here?”
“A week and 2 days.”
My eyes widened in shock on hearing those words.
What actually happened?
I wondered.
“Why did you do it Abby? Why one earth did you try taking your own life?”
Joy asked with a serious tune which left me utterly confused.
“I didn’t try to take my life Joy believe me.”
“Then why did you rush into the road without minding the vehicles. The onlookers said it all. The narrated how you rushed into the road like you were being chased, while no one was actually after you …”
I stared at her without saying a word.
“Abby tell me the truth, who was after you?”.
At that moment my heart flashed back to Jenny.
Should I tell her that I lived with a ghost?
And if I do, will she believe me?
I wondered.
