Lust

A ghost full of lust

,

Two friends around the age of 20 ,always did things together .They were born two months apart ,stayed next to each other so their parents took them to the garden to play together , went to the same kindergarten school .Celebrated their birthday together by cutting one cake they where more than the sister.The one who was born first was Alka and the other one was Priya.both were inseparable ..Their parents were simple people very middle class .But always  fulfilled their wishes , they were given full freedom to pursue their education and latter their carrier .The friends always discussed their carrier and applied for job’s where they both could be selected ,they had even planned to get married to brothers so that they can belong to the same family.They were so close to each other .Alka was the strong one in nature she was fearless ,she would always protect Priya ,she was a delicate darling would cry at the drop of an hat . Priya was very pretty and also a very shy girl so Akla always ended up protecting her and mothering her ,but Priya would do anything for Alka ,she would not obey her parents but the same thing if Alka asked her to do she would do it happily. So most of the time Priya’s parents would tell Alka to tell Priya to do the work which they wanted her to do ,they knew Prita would do it gladly.Their relation was like that .After trying for job in Mumbai for long they did not get any vacancy where both could work together .But one day while going through the vacancies they found a job where they both could get opportunity to work in the same office but the problem was it was not in Mumbai it was in Pune 230 kilometers from Mumbai.There they would have to stay in girls hostel ,they found out every thing about the office how far it would be from the work place how to travel daily the expenses which they will incur staying ina hostel all the details they made a note of and then they applied for the job.And waited for many days for the reply .They had not told about this job to their parents , they had decided only if they get the job they will tell their parents and keep all the answer ready for their question .And every day they used to pray and see whether they have got any mail after not getting any mail from the company they started their mission to search for another job and on that particular day they got the mail ,both got it their happiness new no bond they were going to be interviewed on video call the next day at a particular given time.They both study about the company exchange ideas and discuss a lot and are very excited for the interview ,they were bright students and were always informed about the present state of politics ,environmental problems they could tlk on any topic they were very sensible girls .Their parents were very proud of them and they always wondered what will happen to them if one gets married before .Next day both decided to be in one house as their time of interview was different they could be in the same room and support each other.. Priya was  a little nervous as it was their first interview . As the day dawned they could not eat their breakfast properly as they wanted to just attend the video call .Though they told their parents not to disturb them they did not tell  them the job is in Pune . So Priya got the first call Alka showed her thumbs up sign and flying kisses .Priya felt better ,the interview started with pleasantries and then the regular question regarding the knowledge about the company and in what way she can help the company so on and so forth. The interview went off well it was one hour interview , they told her they will let her know by one or two days and does she have any relatives in Pune if she gets selected where will she stay she told them she will be staying ina girls hostel and she has found out about it before applying for the job they were quiet impressed by her .Next awas Alka’s interview her interview got over in half an hour and they asked her the same question if selected where will she stay  she wanted to be different and said after she gets selected she will google for places to stay near by and take a flat on rent and stay as paying guest , the person interviewing laughed and said ok will let you know in two days and by that time please start looking out fir a flat as you will have to joins immediately after being selected and then he cut the line.Booth the girls jumped in excitement but Priya wa annoyed why Alka did not tell them about the girls hostel like they had decided for that Alka say just to be different ,if they have liked us then they will definitely select us ,what difference does it make to them where we will be staying..Next two days they are only planing how they will reveal to their parents Alka tell not to worry she will convince both the set of parents and she will take Priyas responsibility .After two days they get the mail and they both have been selected and the appointment letter with all formalities are sent to them ,they are on cloud 9  they are very happy first time they will be staying away from their families and also working and earning all this was giving them lot of pleasure , but now they had to bell the cat Alka had taken the responsibility so Priya sat like a cat with her eyes closed and Alka had to convince her parents first as they are very protective about their daughter knowing she is a weakling a cry baby .Alka calls Priya’s parents and starts telling them that as they always worried about Priya now they donn’t have to as she will be with her as they have got a job in the same company and the starting salary is also good and then the company will train them for future projects and then accordingly their salary will keep increasing Priya’s mother was so happy she failed to see Priya had closed her eyes and not talking she was so happy she goes to the kitchen and brings sweets and feeds her husband and both the girls Prya slowly opens her eyes and gestures Alaka asking her when will she throw the bomb on them about the job being in Pune .Aka says let them enjoy the pleasure of we getting a good job that too  our very first job why spoil it by telling it is in Pune.Priya’s father calls up Alkas parents and tells them to join them at their place as there is good news about the girls . Alka’s parents lock their house and reach Priya’ s house . They are very excited to know what  the news is about. After they reach Priya mother first gives them sweets.Priya’s father tells them about the girls landing a good job and both will be working together and how relieved he is about his daughter being safe with Alka .And God is great he listened to his prayers. Now after the initial drama Alkas father asks Alka about the company and where is it located , so no w Alka very lovingly goes towards her father sits near his feet and looks up at him with a cute baby like face , Priya excuses herself and goes to the washroom .Alka is about to open her mouth to talk just then her father tells he is  sure   this job is not in Mumbai .Priyas parents are shocked and they look at Alka questioningly , Alkas father tells he knows his daughter very well she has told them the good part first and now she will reveal the exact location of the office .Alka says she did not get an opportunity to tell the job is in Pune .And she begs all of them to allow them to go to pune and live their dreams ,they can always come and meet them as it is very near .they can come early morning meet them and go back in the evening .They are surprised how meticulously the girls have planned the detail and also arranged for their stay every thing planned so  well , after  a lot of agreeing and disagreeing , they finally agree on one condition if anything goes wrong they will immediately have to return to Mumbai ,and they are being sent there to become responsible and independent and not to get involved with wrong people and bad companion and spoil the life .If their parents find out they are having problems they will be brought back to Mumbai . By this time Priya has joined them and is very happy to know that they will be going to Pune.Next few days is only shopping for clothes and necessary items which they will be needing to take there , but they are buying basic things as they can always buy from the local market .When they have to shift both the set of parents go with them to check out the girls hostel and talk to the authorities .and to settle their daughters comfortably .They stay in a hotel for one day so that they can go and see the office also , after seeing everything they are satisfied and live for Mumbai. The girls get their room as they will be sharing one room , they are very happy and dance in happiness ,they arrange their clothes and make a small kitchen on the table as they can use electric heaters to cook their meal. One whole day is spent  settling  .After two days they will be joining the work..Next two days they go and check out the places ,grocery shop and places in and around the hostel ,they also notice many huts of laborers behind their hostel . On the whole the place was good and they will be just coming to sleep in the night as whole day ill be spent in the office .They get introduced to the hostel inmates also . On the first day of their job  they get introduced to everybody in the office , .their manager is a kind middle aged man  he tells them they should come to office on time and finish their work on time and take the bus which lives at 6 pm from their premises  and get dropped at their hostel and they should give their hostel address to the bus driver so he will add it to his list of stops, and if they miss the office bus then  it will be very difficult to get  any other mode of transport only few  auto rickshaw run  on the road ,so please be on time .and he smiles at them and wishes them good luck and instruct them about the work for the day. The girls are very pleased by him and start working sincerely and forget to see the lunch time . The other girls working there remind them to take a break and then they have their lunch and finish their work and as told go and sit in the bus and talk to the driver about their stop..They every happily enjoy the scene the way from their office to their hostel is not that far they feel in bus it took them twenty minutes  so walking  it might be 45 minutes depends on the speed .they decide to once walk the distance in the morning, as Priya is not interested in taking such adventures . The first day of work was very pleasant . After dinner both are reporting to their parents about the workplace ,  their boss and the people in the office and what they prepared for dinner.  Both tell different dishes as they had lied to their parents as they had not cooked anything and had eaten noodles .For Indian parents Noodles is a junk food not good food , for them food prepared at home with fresh vegetables and rice ,lentil is only food for soul.After giving them the days report both the girls talk about their work and fall asleep .In the middle of the night both are fast asleep suddenly Priya feels very cold she tries to pull her blanket till her head she wants to cover her head in sleep she pulls the blanket and then she  feels the blanket is being pulled down slowly down she freezes in her sleep she feels very softly the blanket is being removed from her body she starts to shiver and also sweat she keeps quiet as she has no strength to open her eyes and see who is taking her blanket ,she curls herself like a snail as she is very sleepy , and is not able to understand whether it is in her dream or in reality .She after some time when she feels she can move her body she slowly moves towards Alka and enter her blanket Alka immediately holds her and Priya feels secure and sleeps ..In the morning Alka gets up prepares breakfast and gets ready and allows Priya to sleep longer as she is sleeping like a baby after every thing is ready Alka calls out to Priya she gets up sheepishly and sees she has taken Alka’s blanket sh remembers what had happened in the night she slowly looks for her blanket Alka tells her that she has picked up her blanket which was lying on the floor , and in the night she had squeezed inside her blanket , both laugh and Priya gets up and chooses not to tell anything about the night experience she wanted to be strong and not a sissy . She freshen up and gets ready to have breakfast prepared by Alka .she eats hungrily and thanks Alka and tells her next day she will prepare the breakfast and will get up earlier then her .They both pick up their bags and close their room give the key at the reception and go and wait for the company bus. The bus comes exactly at 9 am and the office starts at 9 .45 am .The days go by. With them working very hard and their boss is very happy with their work and also talks about training them for other work . .Now it’s almost three months , and they now don’t talk to their parents on a  day to day basis .It’s once a week on a holiday they would talk to them. Once Priya’s father had come to meet her as he felt very worried for her he knew she is a  very delicate girl and could not take stress so he wanted to check on her. Day was going smoothly both are very happy with their work and also the thought they are making money and saving it was making them feel proud.One night both decide to watch the latest movie on their net as next day was their weekly off .they are engrossed  in the movie and enjoy it a lot when suddenly when the movie is about to get over they feel someone is  behind them Priya becomes very cold she touches Alkas hand and starts shivering .Alka telssher to relax she will check she slowly gets up and looks at the window behind them , she signals Priya to keep quiet and slowly moves towards the window Priya has frozen already and does not move or turns back to see what is happening behind her .Alka moves towards the window with her heart beating faster she is strong but she is also a young girl she draws the curtain and starts laughing loudly as she sees a small cat sitting there and looking at her with shocked look she picks up the cat and shows it to Priya she pushes her away Alka takes the cat and puts it out of her room and then goes back to the window and closes the glass tightly and draws the curtain so that they don’t get any light in the night and can get sound sleep . They get up freshen up and hug each other and take their blankets and switch off the light and Alka warns jokingly to Priya not to snatch her blanket .Priya makes a sad face as she is reminded of that night.They fall asleep fast as they had already watched a movie till late night . when suddenly Priya feels someone is pulling her bedsheet she feels the person wants to pull her towards him she feels the energy with which she is being pulled is a man somehow she felt he was pulling her continuously towards him but again she freezes and cannot move her limbs she feels helpless as she is shouting out to Alka but the sound is not coming out of her mouth she wants to touch Alka and tell her some one is pulling her she is calling out to her but the voice is frozen she goes through immense mental torture ,pain knowing she cannot reach out to Alka for help and the bedcover is being pulled more and more aggressively. After what she feels ages have passed she gets her strength back and slowly she can now move her hands and she is very thirsty , she wakes up Alka and tells her she wants to drink water , Alka gets up puts on the light and gets her water she drinks it like a small child and asks for more , Alka tells her to go to the to the washroom and empty her bladder so that she can sleep peacefully she tells her she will not close the door of the washroom Alka laughs she feels she is still disturbed by the cat she agrees Priya  quickly goes to the washroom and empties her bladder and splashes some water on her face and comes and snuggles next to Alka and holds her and goes to sleep . both sleep well and get up very late next day .As they had weekly off they decide  to out and have breakfast  .
