Mr. Terence and Mr. Alphonse were on a routine delivery run, transporting a load of vegetables to the next city. It was a dark, moonless night and the road was empty and quiet. The only sounds were the hum of the truck's engine and the occasional rustle of branches in the wind.

As they were making their way back, the truck suddenly came to a stop for no apparent reason. Terence and Alphonse checked the vehicle thoroughly but couldn't find any technical issues. They were confused and a bit worried, as they didn't recognize their surroundings. It was as if they had been transported to a different place entirely.

As they looked around, they noticed that they were in an old graveyard. Headstones and statues loomed up out of the darkness, casting eerie shadows in the dim light. Suddenly, an old witch appeared out of nowhere, her eyes glowing with a sinister light. She approached the truck and told the men to leave the place at once.

Terence and Alphonse didn't need to be told twice. They quickly climbed back into the truck and tried to start the engine, but it wouldn't start. The witch cackled and told them that they were trapped. She had put a spell on the truck, and it wouldn't move until she allowed it to.

Just as the witch was about to cast another spell, a blood-curdling scream echoed through the graveyard. The witch's face twisted in fear and she ran off into the darkness. Terence and Alphonse were terrified, but they also wanted to know what had caused the scream.

As they followed the sound, they came across a small clearing in the graveyard. There, they saw the ghost of a young woman, her eyes filled with pain and anger.

She cried and told them that she wont harm them. She was Helan, a woman from a nearby village. She was a teacher in a Primary School at that Village. She had two sister and one elder brother in her house. Their Parents are very poor and his father is a carpenter, still working in the village and her mother is house wife.

Helan only was the bread winner of the family. With her professional income the whole family survived. His elder brother is not going for job wandering here and there in the village and involved himself in other illegal activities. So Helan had a sole responsiblity to look after her family. Despite of all theses things she still loved her family.

One day after school hours when she was returning to home she witnessed some strange movement in the road side bushes. When she approached, she shocked to see Mr.Mirando, a rich man in the village engaged in smuggling gold bars from the bushes to truck. Always there is a witch used to be with him.

When Helan noted all this, suddenly the witch appeared near her and shouted, What are you doing here? Idiot!. With frightened eyes Helan replied, I am just passing by. By that time Mirando came there and understood the situation and showed a signal to the witch. The witch nodded her head as if she understood his signal.

After that politely, the witch told Helan, not to worry and she would not do any harm to her. Trusting her words, Helan was started walking, when she was about to cross gravyyard, she noticed the witch is behind her with an sharp axe on her hands. When she was about to run the witch started hitting her without mercy.

She had been tortured and killed by the witch. She had been killed without mercy. To take revenge for her death, she had called out to Terence and Alphonse for help. So that she stopped the truck.

Without hesitation, Terence and Alphonse joined Helan in her quest for justice. Together, they tracked down the witch and confronted her. In a fierce battle, they finally defeated the witch and put an end to her evil ways. And heard from the witch that Mirando also died in an accident.

As the witch's body lay on the ground, Terence and Alphonse helped Helan to find peace. She thanked them for their help and then disappeared into the night. Terence and Alphonse were left with a sense of awe and gratitude for the experience.

For a long time, Terence and Alphonse remembered that night and their encounter with the ghost of Helan. They knew that they had been a part of something truly extraordinary, and they would never forget the lessons they had learned. They also knew that they had to be careful in their life and never to take things for granted
