Two buds and a dream

Aayushi was proud of her 2 lakh Instagram followers. During the college fest, she clicked a beautiful picture with two rose buds and uploaded it on her Instagram.

The post went viral within a few hours. But at the same time, strange messages started coming in her inbox— "Whose symbol is this picture?", "Why did you take a picture with these buds?", "Do you know what these flowers mean?"

Initially, Aayushi took it lightly, but then she got a call from an unknown number—

"Aayushi, you have to delete this picture immediately, otherwise something bad might happen!" Then the same call started coming on her phone again and again. Aayushi was very upset. Frightened by the continuous phone calls, she disconnected the call. But now for her, it was not just a photo, but a mystery. All night she kept thinking about this mysterious call.

The next day Ayushi told her friend Raghav the whole thing. Raghav was a student of cyber security and immediately started trying to trace that unknown number. But the number could not be traced. Ayushi was not able to understand who was calling her. And what does he want from her.

It was about to be evening when a new comment came on Ayushi's post - "If you want to know the secret of this picture, then come to the old fort. Alone." Now what is this new confusion. What is there in this post? And if someone is also wanting to give information about it, then why is he making it such a mystery? She told her friend Raghav. We must meet him. I want to get to the bottom of this matter now, Raghav. We will go to the old fort.

Raghav stopped her, Ayushi, going to a deserted area can be dangerous. It may be someone's trick. But Ayushi had decided that she will solve this mystery. Raghav, if you are coming with me then it is fine, otherwise I want to go there myself and see what the matter is. Aayushi, you are a very stubborn girl. Now I will not let you go alone. I am ready to come with you.

At 9 o'clock in the night, Aayushi and Raghav reached near the old fort. There was silence all around. The atmosphere was very scary. Both had reached the door of the fort. Suddenly the door of the fort opened and a voice was heard. Come inside. Both looked at each other with frightened eyes. Now nothing could be done. Both came inside.

Then they saw an old woman, who said - "The two buds whose photo you took, they were not found just like that. They have a history..."

The story that the woman told was shocking. She told that it was a very old story. This fort was inhabited then. About 50 years ago, two twin sisters were brutally murdered near this fort.

The day their soul feels restless, their soul does not get peace, then on that day two rose buds grow there.

Aayushi realized that the picture taken by her was not just a coincidence. She had connected with the souls of these sisters. Something is definitely going to happen. That night, she had a dream. In the dream, there were the same twin sisters. They said - "Our story is incomplete, get us justice."

Now it was not just a viral photo, but had become an unsolved case.

Aayushi decided that she will get justice for these sisters.

Aayushi and Raghav searched through old newspapers. They found out that the sisters were murdered by an influential landlord, who was still alive. But no one was ready to speak against him.

Aayushi had another dream from the souls of the sisters. This time they told her the address of a door.

Raghav and Aayushi went there and dug.

The sisters' diary was found below, in which the whole truth was written.

Aayushi shared the sisters' story on social media. In no time, the news spread like wildfire. Aayushi used social media to campaign to reopen the case. Weeks later, the police declared the girl's death a murder based on new evidence and caught the culprits.

The next morning, when Aayushi went to the fort, there was no rosebud there.

The sisters' souls had found peace.

Aayushi now knew that sometimes, even a photo can change someone's story… Aayushi understood that social media can become the power of justice, not just glamour. Now she started posting not just for followers, but to expose the truth of society.
