All around, after the screams of Ayaan, Rishabh, and Pankaj, everything becomes silent. The street dogs gather in front of their house and start howling.
The white light slowly fades away. The three of them were lying on the ground. Their eyes were closed.
Boy (Spirit):
(Laughing)
"Enough of your drama. Now stop it."
Hearing his voice, the three of them stand up in fear. The marks of injuries and pain from their bodies had disappeared. Seeing this, they become extremely happy and start dancing. Suddenly, Pankaj speaks—
Pankaj:
"What if… we are dead too?"
Hearing this, all three of them start crying again.
Rishabh:
(Crying)
"We hadn't even done anything in life yet…"
Seeing all this, the boy (spirit) says—
Boy (Spirit):
(Laughing)
"Hey—"
Before he could say anything further, the three of them start screaming and crying in fear again. After some time, when they calm down, Pankaj says—
Pankaj:
"Now that we are dead, there's no reason to be afraid of you anymore…"
Boy(spirit):
"Listen to me—"
Ayaan:
"Why should we listen to someone who killed us?"
Rishabh:
(Sadly)
"Now please let us live our ghost lives peacefully…"
When they refuse to listen to him, the boy suddenly slaps all three of them at once.
Boy (Spirit):
"Did that hurt…?"
All three together:
(Rubbing their cheeks)
"Yes, it hurt…"
Boy(spirit):
"Then idiots, that means you're alive."
Hearing this, they become extremely happy. To make sure, they start slapping each other and even bump into the wall.
After that, without saying anything to the boy (spirit), they quietly go and sit on the sofa in the living room.
The boy (spirit) stands near the window of the room, looking at the sky. The sky was not clear; faint moonlight was breaking through the dark clouds.
After some time, the three of them turn on the TV in the living room and start watching the news.
News Anchor:
"Today's biggest news — Shiv Thakur, son of Mumbai's biggest industrialist Rajendra Thakur, has run over people walking on the footpath while driving under the influence of alcohol."
Pankaj:
"Just wait, by tomorrow morning the news will say the driver was driving the car."
Rishabh:
"You're right. The law exists only for the poor…"
Just then, Ayaan looks behind and sees the boy (spirit) watching the TV carefully.
Ayaan:
"Oye Rishi, what happened?"
Boy(spirit):
(Confused)
"Who…? Me…?"
Rishabh:
"Yes, you. Now that you're our friend, it's our duty to give you a name."
Pankaj:
"From today, your name will be Rishi."
Rishi:
(Emotional)
"Thank you so much."
As he says this, he starts crying. Tears and mucus begin to flow from his eyes and nose. Seeing him cry like this, the three of them start laughing.
Ayaan:
"Tell us, what happened? You looked lost."
Rishi:
"I don't know why, but it felt like I know him… I've seen him somewhere… I'm getting that kind of feeling…"
