Every morning, Nandini walked to her bus stop, her footsteps echoing down the quiet suburban street.

She had always noticed the old man sitting on the bench near the stop. He would smile warmly at her, his eyes brimming with a strange mix of sorrow and affection.
फिसलना: 3
In his soft and raspy voice, he would say..
Good morning, Nandini!
Good morning.
फिसलना: 4
She'd reply hesitantly, always wondering how he knew her name.
फिसलना: 5
How does he know my name?
फिसलना: 6
One chilly winter morning, Nandini finally worked up the courage to ask her mother about him.
फिसलना: 7
Guess I should ask mom.
फिसलना: 8
Mom, do you know the old man near the bus stop? The one with the pink school bag?
फिसलना: 9
Her mother froze, her face pale as if she had seen a ghost.
What did you say?
फिसलना: 10
The man with the pink school bag. He's there every morning.
फिसलना: 11
Tears welled up in her mother's eyes.
Nandini, your grandfather used to wait for the bus with you when you were little. He carried your pink school bag everywhere after....after the accident.
फिसलना: 12
What accident?
फिसलना: 13
When you were five, you ran into the street chasing a ball. A car came speeding towards you, and your grandfather....he pushed you out of the way. He didn't make it.
But...I see him everyday.
फिसलना: 14
Nandini, your grandfather died seven years ago.
फिसलना: 15
Nandini's heart pounding fast.
That evening, Nandini returned to the bus stop.
फिसलना: 16
The old man was there, just as always, the pink school bag with him.
फिसलना: 17
Nandini walks closer, and in her trembling voice whispered..
फिसलना: 18
Grandpa..?
फिसलना: 19
The old man looked at her with a sad smile.
I couldn't leave, Nandini. Not until....
फिसलना: 20
...I knew you were safe.
फिसलना: 21
You saved me. But....even after you've been gone all this time, you're here.
फिसलना: 22
And now I can rest.
फिसलना: 23
Be brave, my Nandini. I'll always be watching over you.
फिसलना: 24
With that, the old man disappeared, leaving the pink school bag behind on the bench.
फिसलना: 25
Nandini picked it up, clutching it tightly. The air felt lighter, the street quieter.
फिसलना: 26
Slowly, his figure beginning to fade.
From that day on, the bus stop felt empty, but Nandini knew she'd never truly be alone.
फिसलना: 27
The End.
