Friday night
In this world, everything cannot be explained.

Ankur was 32 years in his prime age, was well built and had a charming personality and he was in a good corporate job with a decent house in the biggest city of India.

On a Friday night, the metros were closed due to Bharat Bandh, so he walked alone to his home.

Reaching the end of the road he saw an auto coming, the auto stopped and the driver asked where he wanted to go in a strange and erratic voice, Ankur first denied but then his inner voice commanded him to take the auto, so he sat and the auto went forward.

He was feeling chilly and his mind then diverted to this thought that something is wrong in the auto,

He wondered if the auto driver is an evil spirit or a lonely soul that hasn't been liberated(Mukti)

He asked the driver to stop the auto to which the driver denied in a same strange voice that this area is home to muggers and killers

Ankur was now breathing heavily and couldn't believe that the driver is not a human and he also tried to see his feets but he couldn't.

Luckily they reached his home and when he came out to pay, he saw the drivers feet and he apologized to the driver that he thought he was a ghost to which the driver replied that he had cold and by this his voice became erratic.

He gave him extra tip and told him that todays was also his birthday and then he left for his home and the driver also went to his home.

The driver reached his home where his wife was watching the news that a person named Ankur in his mid 32 was hit by an auto at a Friday night of 2010 and the auto driver didn't took him to the hospital where he can be saved and now the police have closed his case as they couldn't find his killer.

The driver told this incident to his wife to which she replied that he just had a bad dream, the driver denied to accept that it was a dream.
He realized that not everything can be explained in this world
