The Ghost of My Wife !!
#WritcoStoryChallenge
The painting was yellowed with rounded edges. It was a masterpiece and it was lying in my hand. Wait, have I stolen it? I don't remember...
All I remember is that it is very special for me. It was the painting of a girl. A very beautiful girl. She was tall, fair and had beautiful eyes. Nurses in this hospital tells me that when I was brought with my head bleeding heavily. It looked like a car accident. And the painting was found in a bag I was carrying along with some clothes. But I don't remember a thing !!
I don't remember my name. I don't remember anything. I came to my senses this morning only. Doctor came to see me after that and told me that I am not able to remember about my past life because I am in post trauma. He says that I will be fine soon. It might take some time...some hours or some days. But it will be fine soon. I wonder if he is telling me the truth or just trying to prevent me from going in grief.
Whole day I kept looking at that painting. The girl in the painting is so beautiful that I feel mesmerized to see. Whoever made that painting must be very fine artist because girl in the painting exactly looks like a real life person. It seems as if the girl will just come out of the painting and start talking.
The dinner came in the night. Usually a wardboy brings food but this time nurse brought food for me. She smiled at me and started talking.
Nurse - "You will be fine soon."
I just kept on staring her and tried to listen her silently.
Nurse- "You were diligently bleeding when you were brought here.
I was the one who cleaned you and put bandages around your bleeding head. Doctor was also not there because of the strike but I told doctor that you were my relative and he could not refuse."
Me- "Oh Sister! So kind of you. My life is all because of you. If you were not there, I would have been dead till now. "
Nurse- "You look exactly like my real brother who died in a accident few years before. When I saw you, I could not stop myself from helping you. It felt as if I was saving my own little brother."
After saying this she started crying tears to tears.
Me- (putting my hand over her shoulders) "Don't cry sister. From today I will be that brother of yours. I don't remember a thing but this new life that I have got is your gift to me. I owe you and will fulfill all the duties of a brother with my life."...
