Night was cold and wind was blowing with sound that can frighten ears. I and my wife were travelling in Himalayas. There was no sign of any life there. Roads were so narrow that car was driven at 20 km. We were talking to each other and planning about next day when suddenly both of the car head lights went off. I immediately stopped the car and was thinking of what happened. I told my wife to relax as she was frightened to see what happened. I got out of the car and asked her to stay inside. That was the first time I realized the hilly region which we enjoyed the whole day was so dull and full of fear. It was completely dark and I was not able to see my wife sitting in the car also. She was again and again asking me to come back inside; she was frightened of wild animals that roam around there in search of food. I came back inside and tried to turn on the parking light but nothing was working at all. There might be a problem with the light circuit I told my wife who was mum and could not speak anything. It was 1 am and the whole night was left, I was also worried that our car was standing in the middle of the road and somebody could hit us. I again went outside to see the road end, and in the silence realized that a river was flowing down below and the sound was so low that I realized we were very high from it. I came back inside the car and asked my wife to take some sleep as we cannot move till morning. We locked the door and sat inside. We were hearing different sounds coming from the deep jungle which was not good at all. The night was not passing by and the temperature was going down and down. I asked my wife to go behind and have some sleep but she was not ready to leave me at all. 2 am I asked my wife to stay there as I need to go for a Lou. I unlocked the door and went outside again. As soon as I went beside the car I was frightened to see a lady sitting just beside the back door and watching me. My whole body was white and I could not move my legs, as I have heard many ghostly stories about people who die in road accidents in mountains. My wife asked me what happened and told me to come inside. I held my breath and came back inside. I was shivering with fear and my wife was seeing me asking what happened. I saw the back window and that lady's hand was placed on the glass of the window. I could not react and told my wife nothing happened. I could see the hand from the front mirror but was not looking behind because I could not.
I Believe in god but never prayed. I knew something was about to happen and we both could not do anything about it. I was praying in my mind that whatever it was should leave us. At that time Irealized how much important our life is and about my wife, who was more afraid of all these things and if I told her about the lady she will not be able to wait till morning and will ask me to drive. I stopped looking into the mirror and was sitting there without speaking anything. My wife kept on asking me what happened. She was curious to know as she never saw me like that. We sat there for sometime and I again decided to look into the mirror. I took a deep breath and saw this time nothing was there and I felt relaxed but it was for just for few minutes.
This time my wife asked me that she wants to go out to get fresh. The moment she said that to me I immediately refused because I knew something is there and how important she was for me. She kept on insisting that she will take just 2 minutes. After sometime I agreed but told her to wait inside as I wanted to check the place. I not at all wanted to get out of the car but I had to. I opened the door and went outside. This moment was the most horrifying and worst experience of my life. I looked around but nobody was there. I called my wife out. She was out with me in the cold now. After sometime we came back inside and I was happy that we were safe now. This time we felt that the car was getting cozy inside. Temperature was not so cold we felt that we were sitting in front of heater. I knew I did not turn the heater on but still it was warm inside. Soon I realized why it was. The worst night mare was about to happen. I saw in the mirror that the lady was sitting in the back seat staring directly into my eyes. I COULD NOT REACT AT ALL. My wife saw my face with fear and kept asking why I was reacting that way. She knew I was not afraid of anything but she was to be proven wrong in a moment. She asked what happened. Nothing came out of my mouth. Suddenly my wife turned to the back seat and grabbed her shawl. I held her hand and looked into her face. She asked what happened, she could not see the lady but I could clearly see in the mirror that somebody was sitting there. I didn't want to sit in that car anymore but I knew the moment I told my wife about it she would be out of the car and would run which was not safe at all in the jungle. We kept sitting there for sometime and I closed my eyes and was praying.
It was 4 am now and the car had again started to get cool. We waited for some more time and it was looking normal now. Lady was gone and sun was about to rise. I turn the engine on and for our surprise lights were working absolutely fine as if nothing happened. We started again and after some time the sun was shining above us. My mind was a bit relaxed but what ever happened I was not able to forget.
After driving a few kms we saw a small hotel. We decided to stay there and we took one room. Hotel had an old construction but that was the only one there. After we had breakfast we went to our room and slept. We both were so tired that we did not know that we slept for full day and now again it was NIGHT. Inside our room there was a big glass window from which we could see the full view of the jungle. My wife was sleeping as she was really tired, when suddenly there was a knock on the door. I opened the door and saw an old man standing with a candle in his hand. He asked me to take it as everyday light goes off anytime. I took the candle and again started to think about the last night. I woke up my wife to ask if she wanted to have dinner, she refused as she was too tired and did not want to get up. It was a full moon night and trees could be seen easily in the dense forest. I was feeling hungry so I decided to go downstairs and have something. I saw my wife sleeping so I closed the door and went down to reception. I ordered something to eat and sat on a chair which was placed to see the full jungle view. I was looking at the jungle and full moon light crossing the trees was an amazing view. As soon as my food came in the lights went off. I stood up immediately as I was worried about my wife. I started to run back to my room but could not find it. Soon I realized that we both were the only people staying there. With the mobile torch I found my room and I opened the door. THE THING WHICH I SAW WAS THE LAST THING I WANTED TO SEE IN MY LIFE: The same lady was standing beside my wife and looking at her and smiling. I was stunned and ran towards my wife. I shouted and grabbed her in my arms. She was shocked and was confused about what happened. I immediately asked her to pack the bags and leave the hotel. She insisted on staying in the hotel only as she knew outside weather will not allow us to leave. I wanted to tell her the entire thing that was happening with me but I knew right now she would be able to sleep well but after that she would not be able to rest properly. I was inside the blanket now and was looking here and there but there was no sign of the lady. Till 11:30 I was awake but after sometime I felt sleepy and closed my eyes.
2 am somebody was knocking on the window; I opened my eyes and saw the same lady was standing outside the window and staring me. I checked my wife and to my biggest surprise she was not in the bed. I turned on my mobile torch and checked the entire room; suddenly I heard a low sound coming from the corner of the wall. I checked there and my wife was sitting on the ground and looking at the same woman. She was so afraid that she could not even shout. I immediately ran towards her and held her in my arms. She pointed her finger towards the window and said she saw a man standing outside. I told her it was not a man it was a women. She refused to believe it and was sure that it was a man. Nothing was there now and we both sat and I told her everything about what happened last night. She was very surprised to hear that I was seeing a woman and she was seeing a man. We both decided not to stay at that place anymore. We packed our bags and came towards the main lobby from where stairs were going down towards the main reception and gate. We walked slowly and to our surprise someone's footsteps were coming from behind but we could not see that person. We came towards the gate and looked for the manager, he was not there so we opened the gate and came out. Our car was parked a few meters away and we both walked towards the car and I opened the door and we sat inside the car now.
I turned on the engine and to our surprise headlights were again not working. We looked at each other in fear, there was a complete silence. Suddenly a mist of fog covered the whole area and it was so dense that we could not see a meter away. I knew whatever it was would not let us go anywhere but we did not know what they wanted from us.
After sometime I asked my wife if we could go inside the hotel again as it was getting colder and colder outside but she refused as she was shivering not because of cold but because of FEAR.
We kept sitting inside the car and waiting for sunrise. We decided that we would go back home and end our tour here. 2 hours passed nothing happened; we sat inside mum and thinking what we will see in next moment. Car window was covered with fog. I turned on the engine and started the blower, and it was of no use. Suddenly we heard somebody coming towards the car, the footstep was so loud and clear that we knew that it coming very fast towards us. We held our hands together and looked around, suddenly in the front mirror something was written – “I will be with you always”. I started the car wiper but it was not going off as if someone had painted on the car window. My wife started to scream madly and shouted: ” who are you, what do you want from us?”
Nothing was there other than a big silence.
It was sunrise after some time and the road was clear and visible. Next surprise was waiting for us, there was no hotel. We were standing in the middle of the road and it was covered with trees. There was no sign of a hotel or anybody. I came out of the car and looked here and there but nothing was there. At least now we were relaxed that it was sunrise and we were safe. I immediately started the car engine and turned back. We drove so fast as if we are getting late to get our life back. After 4 hours of driving I got to a T-point, there was no sign for where to go. We decided to take the left turn as the road in that direction was in good condition. After sometime we saw a small café and a lady was sitting there. My wife was so happy so see someone to whom we could talk and ask about the area. We had some tea and ate some food. I asked the lady if there is any hotel in that area or if she has heard anything about a man and woman. She knew nothing about it. we started again as it was evening and we wanted to get out of this mountain drive. I kept on driving though I was feeling very tired, but I knew if I stopped now then we would not be able to leave that place.
After sometime it was again DARK. Fear could be seen in my wifes eyes, she was so shocked that she stopped talking to me and was looking here and there. I stopped the car again to get fresh; my wife did not like it at all. I came out of the car and first looked at the place. It was dark outside and nothing was visible clearly. I got fresh and was coming back towards my car; suddenly I heard someone calling me from behind. I looked back and saw the same lady was standing in front of me with a man. She did not come near me but were staring at me and said, “I will be with you always”. I started running towards my car and turned on the engine and drove as I was driving in formula one. My wife started crying as she knew something again had happened. This time headlights were working fine and we kept on driving. I knew whatever it was now would never come back, we saw the lights coming from town and we reached the town finally.
We were so happy and relaxed to be there, my wife jumped on me and we hugged each other. We knew that we had won the race against death and we are alive.
We came back to our house and months have passed now, there was no sign of that lady and man.
Today my wife has gone out for a party and I am alone in the house. Lights went off and when they came back on, I saw something written on the mirror: “I WILL BE WITH YOU ALWAYS”.
