Title 14..
mango pickle witch
Long ago there was a village named Amarpur, miles away from the city. Many people of the village were doing such work which their descendants had been doing for many generations. Some man would make silk saris, some woman would work on pottery and some man would make toys. All the people of the village used to do some work or the other. One of these people was a woman named Anshika. Anshika used to sell mango pickle in the village itself. Anshika's pickle was the favorite of the whole village. That's why many people of the village would come to buy pickles from him. (old villager) -" Brother agreed, Anshika!! Your pickles have brought water in the mouths of elders!! This mango pickle of yours enhances the taste of food. Now it has become such a habit that till the night I do not get your mango pickle with food, till then not a single drop of food comes down from the throat!!" (Anshika) - "So uncle, who has refused? And take the pickle!! I am like your daughter, just keep your blessings on me so that my pickle becomes famous even in the far city!" (Old
village man) - "Hey son, when food comes with pickles, every day blessings come out of your mouth! Come on son, now I am going to be happy!" Saying this the old man left. Anshika was living happily and peacefully that suddenly a trouble came in her life. One morning a woman came running to Anshika and started crying near her. (Anshika) - "Hey sister-in-law! What happened? Why are you crying??" (Sister-in-law) - "Hey Anshika daughter!! Everything is over!!" (Anshika) - "Sister-in-law! What happened!! Sit calmly and tell me first!!" (sister-in-law gasping) "Laddoo's father had gone out to buy pickles from you in the night and has not returned since then!" (Anshika) - "Went out to buy pickles from me? (Sister-in-law) - "No Anshika daughter!! He had come to this side and was saying that while coming back from the farm, he saw you selling mango pickle outside his house, so he went to buy mango pickle!" (Anshika) - "But how can this happen sister-in-law? I didn't even spend last night selling pickles!!" (Sister-in-law) - "I also told him that Anshika does not sell pickles in the night! It must be someone else. But he was repeatedly saying that you were selling pickles outside your house. I thought he was telling the truth. And I sent them. I don't know where my laddu's father has disappeared!! Now what will happen to me and the laddu??" Saying this the sister-in-law started crying bitterly. (Anshika) - "Sister-in-law, you don't cry!! I will find your husband in any case and bring him!!" As soon as Anshika gave this comfort, the sister-in-law calmed down a bit and went to her house wiping away the tears. Anshika searched every corner of the village but her sister-in-law's husband was nowhere to be found! There was no trace of him even in the forest. Were alive that they died, no one knew anything !! But one day again suddenly a woman from the village came crying to Anshika. When Anshika asked the reason for her crying, she also told like the first sister-in-law that her husband had seen her selling mango pickle outside her house and when he went out to buy pickle, he did not come back. Anshika could not believe how she was seen selling mango pickle to people at night. He does not see anyone outside his house and even if someone secretly came to sell, he would have heard the sound of keeping his belongings. But Anshika had no clue. Now this was the drama of the day. Every other day some woman would be seen crying at Anshika's house and if asked, she would say that her husband had gone out to buy pickles from Anshika but did not come back. Due to the disappearance of so many men, now even the villagers started suspecting Anshika that she is stealing their money by killing the men of the village. One day all the villagers reached Anshika's house with the Pradhan. (Principal) "Anshika! In the last few days many youths of our village have disappeared! And they all have one thing in common, and that is you!! Tell me where are all those men?? Where have you buried them after killing them? ??" (Anshika) - "No, Pradhan ji!! You are misunderstood! I have not done all this! I am upset thinking about this myself!!" (Principal) - "It will not obey like this! It will have to be taught a lesson!!" Saying this, the villagers entered Anshika's house and started vandalizing. Anshika started crying after seeing all this and when she could not bear it, she cried very loudly!! (Anshika) - "Just do it you guys!! If I had done all this, I would not have run away from here yet!! Stop here! I can't wait for you guys to come here! As soon as Anshika shouted like this, the villagers stopped the sabotage!
