CH - 10

The girl friend of Bob, Miss Marry was getting the calls from Bob when he was in NASA and naturally she used to respond very happily. Even when he came back from their, he called her once but as he was busy he could not go to see her.

Even after he was killed, he kept calling her, but he only used to" repeat a few sentences "How are you", "I. am ok'", " Take care of you" then he would say " I would come to meet you soon." Marry started getting this type of calls for 3 to 4 days, It was true that she was a bit surprised at the change of the pattern of his communication, but she took it lightly.

Once she got his call in the evening, and he told her to come and meet him. He was waiting for her on the road near her house.

She immediately came to meet him. She found him sitting on the bike, and he looked very sad, she asked " Why are not smiling"? " Why are you sitting so sorrowfully"? then she held his hand,but left it immediately and shouted 'oh my god', as it was icy cold. She asked, " What happened to you "but just within 2 minutes he had vanished.

She understood something was wrong. She went home and called Srini immediately, introduced herself as the friend of Bob and asked , what had happened to him?, Why was he icy cold and so sorrowful ?. She said ," He came to meet me some time back."

Srini understood the entire thing and informed her that Bob had been killed some days ago by his friends.,and what she had seen was not actual Bob but his spirit. Marry was stunned to listen to that, she started crying and disconnected the phone.

For about 2 months nothing untoward happened in the family of Miss. Marry. But slowly some awkward things started occurring which caught the attention of all the family members.

Once Marry was sitting on a chair and studying. She suddenly found that one particular door of her front door which was near her table was slightly moving , but she noticed that there was no strong wind, any way she got up and bolted the door to stop the movements.

One more day she came into her room to study. The chair was a little away from the table. She was surprised to see that it started moving slowly towards the table automatically and stopped exactly near the table.

Marry watched that surprisingly, called her mother and explained this. She advised her not to mind and concentrate on her study.

Another day she was searching for a book which she was not getting. She searched for the book but she could not find it. Suddenly, when she looked at her bed, she found the book lying there. These incidents began to occur increasingly.

After a few days , watching these incidents happening regularly, it struck her mind that surely her boy friend Bob's spirit was moving around her and was taking care of her instead of doing any harm.

Once she went to bed, pulled the bed sheet over her but forgot to switch on the fan. Before she got up to switch on the fan, the fan started moving mysteriously. It confirmed her belief that it was Bob who was keeping an eye on her.

She sat on her bed and cried, and said, " Bob are you with me always, please prove me your presence to convince me." In the morning her mother gave her coffee and a piece of cake on a plate. Even at that time she was thinking about Bob.

Suddenly, she found the piece of cake came automatically to her and touched her lips as if somebody were holding the piece and offering her to eat lovingly . She got the proof, and she cried aloud for him and said, " I also did not forget you, Bob."

When she went to bed, the blanket was automatically drawn on her. These sort of incidents were taking place almost regularly.

But a remarkable change took place in Marry. She lost interest in her studies and her friends. She kept herself away from every worldly plasure. She was not enjoying any food , she stopped all communications with her parents. She kept herself confined with the four walls of her room most of the time.

Every body who was observing her at home, heard that in side her closed room she used to talk, lough with some one . Even when she was lying on her bed, she was talking to some body.

Her family members found that Marry always remained in a state of trance. No amount of medicine could do her any good. Her family members could realise that the spirit had been hunting her day in day out.

Once she was getting down from their roof, she was with her mother, she suddenly slipped and fell down to the floor . She was seriously hurt in the head, before she was removed to the hospital she very silently murmured, " Bob come, take me to you"and she closed her eyes for ever.
