Shraddha had left that company but the memories of such a horrible incident still remained with her. Shraddha was brave enough to carry on with her life. Yet she always wondered why she experienced such a horrifying incident. She wanted to get to the bottom of this issue.

Shraddha continued to stay in touch with various locals from her old office. She finally gained the trust of the locals after being in conversation with them for several days. The locals were from low economic group. Most of them had been working as construction workers, delivery personal, or handyman. After pursuing them for several days finally one of the local was ready to tell the truth to Shraddha.

As per the history narrated by the local the land where the building was erected belonged to the indigenous tribes. They had a flourishing community at the land. The builders identified the place as one where a commercial complex could be built at a lower rate. The developers completed the legal formality and brought the land from the local tribes at cheap costs. The tribes where promised to provide with a permanent residence nearby. The promise was not kept. The tribes did not get a place to leave and that is why even in the harsh summer they wear unable to find a shelter. With no food and no shelter the tribal children succumbed to the malnutrition. Similar was the case with elderly population. One by one the people from the tribes died due to malnourishment and starvation. The local mentioned that the one of the elderly tribals cursed the developer and the land that nothing ever would flourish here because it was built on the blood and tears of innocent people.

The story made Shraddha cry. Now the picture was clear to Shraddha. She had now understood why she was called again and again by the voices. She realised that the voices were from those hungry souls who were still staving for food. She understood the tragic history of her office. It made or realise that it was not her fault but it was the wrongdoing of the people who built that office building. The spirits were not there to harm her or torment her. They wanted their story to be heard. They wanted to tell the torture that they had gone through. They were simply hungry when they died. They were craving for food which Shraddha had been carrying. Shraddha understood the gravity of the situation. Shraddha prayed for those souls to find peace, healing, and release.

Sometimes the paranormal do not intend to scare the human being. They want their story to be heard by everyone and prevent any other innocent person being tormented. They did not intend to scare of Shraddha. Also Shraddha did not intentionally provoked those spirits. The blurred history had the major part to play in this encounter. If at all those tribals were treated as promised this situation would never have occurred.

Despite these facts Shraddha's experience still was a terrifying one and it still gives her the nightmares. Now she never agrees to carry chicken curry anywhere. She opts for something simple like daal or salads.

-The end-

After a terrifying experience hearing the cries of starving souls, Shraddha decides she will no longer carry
