**1am**
**Sunday**
Heinrich heyden managed to become a neauro surgeon at the age of 32, however his personal life is not very successful as compared to his career pursuit,he turns on the radio as he escaped the city road and started to navigate the secluded one way road to reach his house he recently brought 2km away from the city,he feels like closing his eyes and visualise the moment that were shared with his high school sweetheart as the radio plays a melancholic song so he switched to a rock music but even in the rock music there is the mention of a girl, frustrated he switched off the radio and focus on the road,he was in love with the girl and she said she likes him too until she realises she only likes him not love him,he tried to pursue her when her relationship seem to not work out with the guy she loves but in the they ended up marrying weeks ago,he wants to move on but the memories hurts him
He focuses on the road while driving at the average speed,the both side of one way road is full of both talll trees as well as grass, there's benches too for people to take walk, it's not entirely secluded,lamp lights are present but there's no shops or houses in between the area of 2km, it's used to be the road to a village and the cityscape was faraway but as the city started to spread it automatically came under the city recently,their is also a government university of management established at the end of the village
"It feels like a windy day huh"
Heinrich Mutters to himself,the brown and orange leaves are falling from the trees,then suddenly he sees a girl with dark wavy hair walking down the road alone,wearing a white frock with prints of little pink flowers,sleeves were puffed,a black leather sling purse on her matching with her black flat sandals,lot of girls pretend themselves as rich but if it's a girl from the management University then she's probably actually rich,the students of that university are carefree as they stay at hostel,since the village used to be made of peaceful people of less than 50 families so there were always peace so they drink late at the night carefree and hangouts late at the night as well, however this girl have a big white bandage on her hand,on the feet seem like returning from hospital as she can't walk properly, it's either some trap by the students or she's genuinely alone due to personal reason like bullying,there was an emergency at the hospital so it got late
He didn't mind and continue to look at the road when the dogs seem to bark at her so he felt guilty,he backs his car and decend down the window
"Hello..where are you going,why are you alone?"
He notices The girl had dark eyes,long eye lashes with plump lips as she looks up to meet his eyes, There's few scratches near her left eyebrow,on the cheek as well as down on her lower lip
She stays silent a for a little second then spoke
"My friends are drunk and i injured my hand when i tripped and fall down on a whisky bottle,I was way back to my hostel from the hospital"
"Okay..need a ride? It's a peaceful village yet danger out there"
"Uh.. okay"
She seems relieved and happy,the response came out quicker than he expected,may be she's actually getting bullied or with a bunch of careless drunk mates,Heinrich thinks to himself
The girl sat down on the backseat of the car as he started to move his steering wheel
"Thank you"
"No problem"
Few seconds of silence
"If you need anything like help can reach me,if I possibly can i would help"
He says with a stoic face as he ands over his business card,a bullying is bullying after all
His speed seem to be increased and the break is not working,he looks on the riverview mirror to say that it's not working when he sees no one is there,he turns around and then he saw she is still there with her silent face,he focus on the road to not barge into some trees as he suppress his scream,his head spin as he feels nauceaous suddenly as if something chocking him,he quickly pull out the key but the pale hand of the woman interferes turning the steering wheel,it crashed on a tree, suddenly everything went black,he opens his eyes to see some village people spraying water on his face,he is on the grass
"Good grief you crashed exactly at the place where houses starts and we happened to be not asleep"
He focuses his vision and saw there were to middle aged men
Henrich turns and looks at the car,the frontside of the car,the left passenger door and the front glass has been scratched
Another man spoke
"That happens when you drink and ride the car as if you are flying,thanks to the god that you are alive with few scratches,is your bones are fine? Can you walk?"
"I wasn't drunk" henrich stood up then continues speaking
"and i seem to be fine without any broken bone"
The man raises an eyebrow
"Weren't you returning from some bachelor party"
"There was an emergency at the hospital"
One of the man leans and sniff
"He's not drunk indeed"
"Then how you crashed and good grief you are okay"
Henrich checks the engine,the car is fine as well
"A girl"
The man repeats"A girl?"
Henrich explains himself and the men seem to be surprised but not much,then one of the man spoke
"Well,things exactly like these never happened truth to be told because nobody ever came riding at this hour here,but it's not unexpected either, this area is haunted, it's a win win situation for you that you are okay,few years ago we happened to heard a girl cry during 1am but it stopped years ago, however recently no one ever saw anything like that,may be she stopped crying but we witnessed a tall grey hair woman on a tree weeks ago when a truck driver who reside here at the end of village returned late home"
"I was not joking"
"Nor are we"

He turns his head to look for time, it's already 9am but it's Sunday, he's off duty,he made his way to dining table after brush and toilet,he already taken antibiotics yet there is few rise in temperature in his body
There was a calling bell,he calls for his mom but she was not there to open the door henrich health was not good few days so his mom made a tour to his house on the Friday,he opens the door,his eyes widen, it's the same girl from yesterday, he has frozen to make any move
