THE AFTER DEATH LIFE

Hello , I am Bhavani. The story which I am going to tell you today is the reality of my life. Nearly 30 years back when I was in Canada gaining higher education . I had a friend circle where all of us were Indians . We were four I , Maya(my Bestie ) , Raj & Varun. After classes we used to spend time in library either reading novel or reading subjective courses.

Sometimes, no not sometimes , many times we altogether went to Notre-dame church . We used to celebrate each other ‘s birthday ,once on my birthday I received a new phone, on a Christmas day we tried to surprise each other secretly and ended up getting ourselves surprised. I received an earring from Maya , a pendent from Raj and a coffee mug from Varun, while I gave a book to Varun, a bracelet to Maya and a watch to Raj.

After 4 years means after the end of our studies, I got job at one of the most leading pharmaceutical company of Canada Johnson& Johnson. And due to jobs, we all left each other and moved forward in our lives. In 1997, 2 years later I got a letter from my mother that my dad’s health condition is not good so he had to quit his job . At once I left my Canadian job and returned to India and joined at Glenmark in Andheri .

... 2...

After few months I got promotion and I got the position of head of the new production section. And as I joined the new production sector, I found that , that section was totally lacking behind than any other section of the company. The pressure was so high , the people under me were very lazy , new and new suggestions were coming and my boss he was totally a crazy man but the most depressing thing was due to a road accident I lost my parents too. Day by day I was losing myself; aggressiveness and depression was filling in me, but I couldn’t help myself as I was both helpless and hopeless.

... 3...

One evening when I was totally frustrated, When I stopped at a park in Andheri and tried to relax myself, there I sat on a bench and tried to listen to the nature’ s music because someone told me that nature’s music is the best way to relax yourself. While I was sitting there a tall , handsome man wearing spectacles came and sat beside me on the bench. He stared at me for a long time and then wished hello.

I replied “Hello, if you won’t mind, I would say that I don’t need any more complains or suggestion on any product I am trying to do my best.” He smiled and said “ Woah! Very aggressive . I guess you are unable to identify me.”

He removed his spectacles and I was amazed he was Raj I said “ My God, you have totally changed .” As I finished Maya and Varun even came out from back of a tree nearby. We shared our talks of 2 years, and I came to know that they all were also employees of Glenmark but of Pune and Raj was the production manager. Then we went back to our home .

... 4...

We were in connection for long time ,nearly after a year Maya and Varun got transferred from Pune to Canada and somehow, I lost my connection with Raj too.

All again I was alone without parents and friends, I tried to concentrate in work but I failed ,at home I used to sit at corner and cried in myself only. One night I dreamt that Raj, Maya and Varun are going away from me but Raj came near me and I opened my eyes to find Raj sitting next to me he said “Bhavani concentrate on your work .Stop wasting your time and learn who is gold and who is gold -plated.” I woke up hard and found that it was just my dream. I did what he said and with blinking of eyes 6 years passed.

... 5...

Then the night came which I would never forget ,it was 22 April, 2004. That night when I was returning from work my car got punctured, I knew that area well so I locked my car there and started walking . Every time I use to pass through a garage then a station that day also, I first stopped at the garage but it was closed so I had no other way than going by a train , I went to the station bought a train ticket and went on platform no.5. The whole platform was empty I sat on one of the benches, even it was month of April I felt cold air around my body and someone very close to me I can fell his breathing, chill ran down my neck , my heart was beating very speedy .

I turned back and found no one there I thought it was just my imagination because I was all alone but I was wrong ,there were 5 men coming from the backside of the platform and to my surprise Raj and Varun was just sitting next to me. I stood up in shock , Raj also stood and came back to talk on phone, one of the men came forward and kept knife on Varun ’s neck and asked for all the money he had .Varun was about to pull out his wallet when Raj went and punched the man . Within seconds the platform changed into fighting ring I tried to run away but I was frozen I don’t know why but I couldn’t move .

After Raj’ s fighting was over he asked Varun that he was ok . One of them again tried to harm Raj and he slapped him tight meanwhile, Varun took up a knife and struck Raj I watched him in horror . Raj turned and said “ I thought you as my friend and you stab me at my back but my friend you will pay for it.” Varun laughed and said “Really, but who will make me pay. The day you and Bhavani entered my life I lost all my respect, goal and everything ,in collage because of you and Bhavani I was always at third position. Now also because of you in office also boss always praises you for your work and forgets me, so I planned of killing you and Bhavani and my first attempt is successful now you can rest in peace after sometime Bhavani would also be in heaven with you resting in peace.”

Raj said “I would not allow you to harm her I promise.” And he died ,Varun was about to leave when I came in his way but to my horror, he passed through me . I fainted.

Next day I gained my sense back, as I opened my eyes, I found Maya there . She came to me and said “Bhavani, can you hear me what happened to you .” I answered “ Where am I ? I was in the station right.” She said “ Thank god you remember something , yeah you were in railway station fainted, luckily Varun found you and took you to this hospital , he called me so I came here. But what happened to you because the doctor said you got fainted due to fear.” Then Varun entered and said “Oh ! thank god you are okay. I found you fainted in the station.” I was about to shout at him for what he has done but a voice came in my ears “Don’t expose him right now. You will get a correct opportunity for exposing him , and yes don’t get frightened he can’t do a single harm to you so answer him confidently.” So I stopped and confidently said “ If you won’t mind can I talk to Maya personally.” He agreed without a single word and left the room.

... 7...

Maya said “ What happened Bhavani ,Is everything ok?” I said “ Maya that night in station I saw Var…” as I was about to finish that voice again came “ Don’t tell her the truth .” Maya said “ That night in station you saw what.” I asked “ Maya that night I saw something strange which I don’t remember . Can you give the contact number of Raj?” Maya paused, I asked her “ What happened , give me the Mobile number of Raj.” She replied “ Actually I cannot because, Raj is no more with us.” I said “What??” She replied “ Yes Bhavani he was murdered by gang of railway thieves four years back on 22 April , 2000.”

And then I saw Raj on the seat beside my bed he said “Bhavani ,she is telling truth. I had died four years back.” He then disappeared into thin air as I was looking at him Maya asked me what I was looking at. I nodded my head at no. Maya then left as she had seminar. Next day I got discharge and went home for next few days I didn’t got sight of Raj so I thought that I was just imagining those all.

But I was again wrong that night when I was cooking food, I felt presence of someone else I turned back but no one was there and the moment I again turned forward I screamed in horror Raj was standing in front of me.

He said” Please don’t shout I am here just for helping you not for harming you.”

I said “ I am again imagining . You are not real right.” I tried to hold him but every time my hand passed through him.

He laughed and said “ Yeah I am not real because I am soul .”

I asked “ All this is like a bad dream I want to get out of it.” He replied “For getting out of it you have two ways .Either you help me so that I can get justice and you can save your life or don’t do anything and get killed horribly by Varun .” I said “ I would choose the first way not because of saving my life but for your justice. What I have to do ?”

He answered with heavier tone “you just have to do what I direct you and believe me Varun cannot do any harm to

you because I am there just do what I do.

First be normal to Varun and spy on him.” I followed his each and every instruction. From next day I went to office and stayed normal I even use to call Varun for spying on him. Days started passing and Raj even helped me in office day by day my production planning were becoming excellent and my boss praised me but all credit goes to Raj.

One day my boss called me to his office and told me to keep a meeting with the new production manager. To my surprise the production manager was none other than Varun I thought it would be easier for me to spy on him. That night when I went home, I called Raj but he didn’t respond and as usual he came with a gust of wind in front of me, I got frightened he said “What! still got frightened of me . huh!” I answered “if you come like I will obviously get frightened right. Leave all that I want to tell you something.”

“What ??” asked Raj. “

Varun is our new production manager.” He replied

“That’s good. You can more easily spy on him. From now on our real mission starts and yes please stay away from Maya.”

Then finally the day came for exposing Varun .

Raj said “ Today reach office with your car and come through the regular lane but leave office at the time I tell you and yes don’t go anywhere with Maya.” At office Maya told me to join her at the mall for shopping but I followed Raj’s instruction and rejected her. Near 10 pm Raj came and told me to leave office and I did what he said in midway at the same place where I stopped on 22 April my car again became punctured, I stepped out of car Raj said “ I only punctured your car now Varun would come here and will took you with him go with him, I promise he wouldn’t be harming you.”

I followed his instructions again and after sometime Varun came I told him all about car puncture he said he would be going by train and asked me to join him Raj’s voice came “GO WITH HIM.” I went with him .

He bought our tickets and we went to platform number 5. I asked for my ticket he handed me one but to my shock it was just a piece of blank paper and written over it ticket to heaven I asked “ Varun please stop joking. Give me the ticket.” He laughed loudly and answered “ Dear Bhavani, this is the correct ticket and I am not joking tonight I am going to send you to the heaven as I sent Raj there.” And he took out a knife I recognized the knife it was the weapon with which he killed Raj. He was about to stab me when Raj came and stopped his hand .Varun said “ You are alive……” Raj replied “I had to come back because before dyeing I told you I won’t allow you to harm Bhavani .” Varun punched Raj but his hand passed from Raj’s soul. He said “ Varun try your 100 percent but you cannot harm me because souls are never harmed.” He then said me “ Bhavani please close your eyes.” I closed my eyes and when I opened them I was in my bed . I thought about all and asked myself Was all that dream? And my phone rang up my office colleague Riya called me and said “ Open the news channel and see it.”

I opened and saw the news the news headlines were criminal four years later confesses about his crime and they showed a video clip it was of Varun he confessed all his crime he even said that he tried to kill me too but I escaped . And the most hurting point was Maya also helped him for committing the crimes. After that day I didn’t saw Raj for longtime and then I was transferred to Canada .

... 11...

One night in Canada I was jogging in a park it was about 11 pm .The Park was nearly empty as I moved I again felt someone’s breathing on my neck I turned and found Raj there he said “ You forgot right today is my birthday . I am here to thank you and say Goodbye to you forever.” I said “ can you be here for some more time . I even want to thank you.”

Raj replied “ Sorry I can’t be here forever but I can be here for some time .” We talked and walked to the church and then he said bye to me and handed me the watch which I gave him and told me to keep it with me always .

He stood in front of the church gate and got disappeared into light. The light was so bright that I fainted and when I woke up, I again found myself in my bed not alone the watch was also there .

I don’t know what this all was but after this incident I believe that souls and many other natural powers exists which we humans don’t know or feel till we die or fall in certain situations. You all may not believe but this the truth of my life and the watch is still with me till date.
