Her Voice

Episode 9

    Anuj came running towards Naina and took her in a bridal style and laid on the bed and asked with a concerned filled tone, “are you okay, Naina?”

    Yes, she said before closing her eyes.

    Anuj came to the hall and called Vikram and informed him that Neena left Naina and she killed the security person as well and disconnected the call and went and sat near Naina.

    So, you are Naina, and you are not my actual to be bride?

    She nodded as yes and lowered her head.

    Naina, I am not angry at you, because I know you are my friend, and you took the risk of protecting me.

    I am really sorry, I had lied to you.

    It’s okay…

    I tried to stop her from hurting you, but failed every time as she was more powerful than me.

    Naina...how are you related to her? As I can see something for her in your eyes?

    She is my half-sister through my father, actually, my father had an illegal relationship with my mother.

    So, she came to know about that, and she started to hate you?

    Yes...she used to behave nicely in front of others and scold me when we were alone.

    Naina, I want to know something, I think you can answer my questions.

    Naina looked at him confused.

    Neena told me that you did an investigation about my family. I want to know, what exactly happened to my family?

    Naina stayed calm for some time and then looked at Anuj and said, “I don’t know much about it, but I got one book, which was written by your grandpa, but before I could read it, we got married and she possessed me.”

    Where is that diary?

    It is not a diary, it is like a notebook and it was hidden in the desk.

    Who used to give those chits to me?

    I don’t know Anuj, but I don’t think it was done by Neena.

    I want that book, Naina, where is it?

    She thought for some time and asked, “how much time will it take to reach your grandpa’s house from here?”

    Two hours minimum or maybe more, if we get stuck in traffic

    You ask any of your friends to pick it up for you, as you can’t go there, as they will not allow you to go there, they will be with you all the time.

    Anuj looked at her confused.

    Neena was able to fight with them as she kept you under her control, but now they know Neena is not there, they will start attacking you again like before.

    Did they use to attack me? Asked Anuj confused.

    Yes…

    Who was trying to attack me and why?

    You can only tell the answer to that question, Anuj. In that accident, you don’t even know, how many lives were lost, but you were saved, how? At that time, you became a mystery to everyone because, whoever got involved in that accident died on spot, except you.

    How can I know that, Naina?

    Think Anuj, think, because something happened, and you only know that, because only you and Neena were there in the car.

    Anuj thought for some time and caught his head and said, “I can’t remember anything Naina” and fell on the bed and fainted.

    Naina saw that he became unconscious, she took his phone and dialed Vikram’s number.

    Sir, this is Naina, I want your help.

    Naina...how are you? Hope you are doing fine? What type of help do you want now? Don’t tell me you want to kill someone with my help.

    Sir, I want one book from Anuj’s grandpa’s house, which is located two hours away from here.

    What book? Any account book or file?

    Sir, that is a small and handy book, which is not a diary, don’t get it confused with the diary.

    You can send Anuj, why do you want my help?

    Because Anuj can’t go that far, as they will try to attack him again, he will be safe, until he is in this city.

   Are you serious about that?

    Yes...please ask someone to bring that book for us, I will send you the address and the location of that book.

    Okay, I will be waiting, said Vikram and disconnected the call, and looked at Sneha.

    What do you think? This lady is again playing with me?

    No...she really needs your help this time, but be careful, send the person, who is fast.

    I didn’t get what you meant by fast.

    Who can do the work before even knowing others that something happened there?

    Ummm...then I have to call Peter, he is faster than anyone else.

    Sneha smiled and said all the best.

    Vikram got the message from Naina and he called Peter and forwarded him the message and told him what to do.

    Naina was massaging Anuj’s head when he woke up and looked at Naina.

    How are you feeling now?

    I am not feeling well with the headache, said Anuj, and arose from sleeping position and came to the sitting position.

    Naina smiled and took the coffee mug from the table and forwarded it to Anuj, don’t worry, you will remember everything slowly.

    Do you really want to remember it? Can’t we live happily forgetting everything?

    If you don’t remember, then there are chances that we both will die without knowing what happened to you or your family.

    Anuj smiled and kept the coffee mug aside on the table and asked Naina to come near him.

    I have to tell you something Anuj, said Naina looking at him.

    First, you come near me, why you want to stay away from me, he asked showing anger.

    Anuj, I called Inspector Vikram for help, said Naina, and lowered her head.

    Anuj came near her and kissed her forehead and said, “I know he will help, don’t worry” and hugged her.

    I want to know, how you know they are attacking me…

    If you won’t scold me, I will tell you…

    Anuj looked at her confused and asked, “what is there to scold you?”

    First, you promise me that you will not scold me or take me in the wrong way.

    Anuj thought for some time and said, “promise, now tell me.”

    When you were in the hospital, somebody used to attack you and they used to remove your oxygen mask and even they used to remove your saline forcefully and you used to bleed a lot.

    Doctors thought you will die as they were injuring your nerves, but then I came to visit you and when I came to know about your condition, I started staying with you.

    Then...asked Anuj.

    One day, somebody tried to kill me, when Neena saved me and she made a deal with me, saying that she will use my body for a few days after you have recovered and I said okay, and she told me if I marry you, then they will stop attacking you for some time.

    So, you exchanged the rings?

    Yes...with the help of doctors I did that, and as expected you recovered sooner than expected as I always stayed beside you so that no one can harm you again.

    Then why you lied to me that we were about to marry?

    Because I wanted to save you from Neena as well, as I came to know about her plan, if I would not have married you, then you have died in an accident, because she wanted to kill you the same way she died.

    All want to kill me and you want to protect me?

    I didn’t say that, but I can say that somebody wants to kill and somebody wants to save you because I felt someone helping me as well.

    So, there are two souls, one good and one bad, and one is there to protect me and first, we have to know, who is trying to protect me, then only we will know, you to finish who is trying to harm me, right?

    Naina smiled and said, “yes.”

    Will you be my partner forever and ever, Mrs. Naina to fight with the evil soul? Asked Anuj forwarding his hand.

    Naina smiled and gave her hand in his when the phone rang and they both looked at the phone.

    Mr. Singh, how are you?

    I am fine, I just thought of informing you that the book is with me, you will come here or you want me to come there?

    Anuj looked at Naina and she nodded as yes.

    We are coming there, Mr. Singh, I hope you won’t mind hosting us.

    Vikram smiled and said, “I am waiting,” and disconnected the call.

    Let’s go Naina, hope we will get answers to at least some of our questions, said Anuj getting up from the bed.

    Naina smiled and followed him.

    Vikram called KK and asked him to come to his house.

    Sir, I have some other important work, anything urgent?

    What if I say, Mr. and Mrs. Saxena are coming to my house and we are going to know something about their ghost stories?

    KK thought for some time but didn’t reply.

    Okay KK, no problem, I thought you will be interested in knowing ghost stories, you continue your work, we will meet tomorrow, said Vikram teasingly and disconnected the call and looked at Sneha, who was smiling.

    Why you always call KK, don’t you think he is just a constable and you are involving him in everything?

    He is a very good and capable person, Sneha, I wanted someone like him to be with me always, who knows me very well and can do my work without giving any excuses.

    What you will do after he gets the promotion and goes away?

    Then I will ask him to look for another constable like him, said Vikram smiling.
