The old highway outside the town was silent after midnight. Locals warned travelers about a ghostly bride who appeared on wedding nights, searching for the groom she never had. Most laughed it off—until something strange happened.
One night, Rahul was driving home after a late wedding. Near a broken milestone, he saw a woman standing alone in a red bridal dress. Her veil covered her face. Feeling uneasy but concerned, he stopped and offered help. She silently entered the back seat.
As the car moved, the temperature dropped sharply. Rahul noticed in the mirror that her reflection was missing. The radio crackled with wedding music, slow and distorted. He asked where she was going.
She lifted her veil.
Her face was burned, eyes hollow and wet with tears. “To the place where I died,” she whispered.
The car turned on its own toward an abandoned bridge. Rahul slammed the brakes, praying. When he opened his eyes, the car was stopped safely on the road. The back seat was empty, but red bangles lay broken on the floor.
The next morning, Rahul learned a bride had died on that bridge years ago. Even today, drivers say a bride waits there—still hoping someone will take her home.
