  We present a novel model that may provide an interpretation for a class of
non-repeating FRBs -- short ($<1~\rm{s}$), bright ($0.1 - 1000~\rm{Jy}$) bursts
of MHz-GHz frequency radio waves. The model has three ingredients -- compact
object, a progenitor with effective magnetic field strength around
$10^{10}~{\rm Gauss}$, and high frequency (MHz-GHz) gravitational waves (GWs).
At resonance, the energy conversion from GWs to electromagnetic waves occurs
when GWs pass through the magnetosphere of such compact objects due to the
Gertsenshtein-Zel'dovich effect. This conversion produces bursts of
electromagnetic waves in the MHz-GHz range, leading to FRBs. Our model has
three key features: (i) predict peak-flux, (ii) can naturally explain the pulse
width, and (iii) coherent nature of FRB. We thus conclude that the neutron
star/magnetar could be the progenitor of FRBs. Further, our model offers a
novel perspective on the indirection detection of GWs at high-frequency beyond
detection capabilities. Thus, transient events like FRBs are a rich source for
the current era of multi-messenger astronomy.
