Happy reading 💐
***************
Phase - I
Rain poured over the city as if the sky was trying to erase every memory.
The last train had already left.
A solitary figure stood beneath the flickering platform light, her white umbrella trembling in the wind. She wore a long black coat, her face hidden behind damp strands of hair.
Across the empty platform stood Aarav Sen, twenty-eight, a crime novelist whose own life had become emptier than the stories he wrote.
He noticed something strange
No one else seemed to see the girl.
Passengers walked past her as though she wasn't there.
A cold shiver crawled up his spine.
The station announcement echoed.
"Platform Three will now close."
The girl slowly turned.
For the first time, their eyes met.
Grey.
Not blue.
Not black.
Grey—as if they carried storms inside them.
She smiled.
Not warmly.
Sadly.
Then she whispered..."You're late... I've been waiting for you for seven years."
Aarav frowned."I think you've mistaken me for someone else."
The girl's smile disappeared.
"No," she said softly."I never forget the face of the man who promised to save me."
Lightning split the sky.
The lights went out.
Darkness swallowed the station.
For exactly three seconds.
When the lights returned—She was gone.
Only a silver locket lay on the wet platform.Aarav picked it up.Inside was an old photograph.
His own pictures. Taken when he was fifteen years old.On the back, written in fading ink:
Find me before I die... again.
The next morning...
Aarav searched every police record.
No missing person.
No CCTV footage.According to the station staff...No girl had been standing on Platform Three.
Yet the security camera captured something impossible.
Aarav...
Standing alone...
Talking to empty air.
Meanwhile...
In a quiet hill town hundreds of kilometers away...
A young woman woke up screaming from the same nightmare.
She had never met Aarav.
She had never visited the city.
But around her neck...
Hung the other half of the silver locket.
She looked into the mirror.
Then froze.
Someone had written four words on the fogged glass.
DON'T TRUST YOUR HEART.
She spun around.
No one was there.
But outside her bedroom window...
A man in a black coat watched silently.
Then vanished into the mist.
