What a shxt it is there is no logic behind this myth, its a creation of any stupid human mind with no authenticity behind it, Arun say carelessly. The logic lies in an old story which was told to me by my local guardian when I was in Shimla boarding, Meeta replied In the town of Shimla. it is said that in the early 1900s a young mother was riding on her horse into town with her baby in a hang on her back. She worked too late in town and it was dark when she set out to her home. As she was riding her way home, the sky become overcast and the sound of distant thunder strike her ears, as a storm was approaching. The highway was very dark and it was Amawasya (no moon night), she began to notice swooshing noises coming from the dark atmosphere surrounded her. The lady began to look over her shoulder in fright as she became more and more conscious about her loneliness. As the chills scuttled up her spine, she expected that the child wouldn't sense her fear. All of a sudden she caught a yell only a some distance from her horse. She became so terrified that she incited her horse running at the speed of knots. As the horse fled, all the vibrating caused the baby to be thrown from her back. The young lady was so dismayed she couldnt think, she admonished the horse faster and faster away from the sound, more and more away from the child. On reaching her home she came to realize this fact that the yell was from her child. She at once ride her horse back to the same place in the storm from which she had escaped. Later the mother returned, gruesome with guiltiness, to hunt for the fallen baby. Yet the storm had passed, the moonlight exposed no hints to the young woman. Her child had vanished in the darkness of the night. She had lost her mental balance and always looked for her baby everywhere and ultimately taken to the mental asylum ,she was afraid of seeing the mirror as after seeing her own reflection she started hurting herself while shouting at her image that you have thrown my baby, after that what had happened nobody knows but it had given birth to this myth and the game, Meeta finished herself off with these words. There was a pin drop silence as all of them were quite taken away by her words and the atmosphere seemed to be even more gloomy and darker after her narration. It sounds good but more horrific buddy, please dont talk such stuff at this place and at such hour of night, Roshni move more close to Ankit. Are you afraid? haha, girl. Tony said while he himself came back to his senses after this story. Just then Meetas candle suddenly blow off. There was silence everywhere. Its a mere coincidence guys nothing to get worried about,Maahi said. Who is worried? Sujoy asked and they all laughed. There is nothing like boys and girls I had seen you shivering while listening to Meeta, fear doesnt recognizes the difference between boy and girl it can only be confronted by a strong heart and it can be anybody, Navomita as usual cannot withstand to the gender remark made by Tony.
