CHAPTER - 4

2 years passed. Louise's father just retired from service . His mother, who was not keeping good health insisted on Louise's marriage. Reluctantly his father agreed and started searching for a girl.

Louise was in a pvt.bank ,therefore , getting a good girl was not a problem for them. They selected a girl, and the date was fixed for the marriage. At last, the marriage was performed for the 2nd time.

But unfortunately, on the first night, the same old incident recurred. Louise saw that Roomy was sitting before him and not the newly married girl.

Again he shouted " Oh my God-" and came out of the room and started wiping his forehead with his kerchief. His parents came running and asked, " What happened?, " Why are you creating this problem every time?

Louise replied" father i cannot tell you ceryain things which are purely personal, I cannot accept the girl." The son's refusal to accept the girl came as a deadly blow to his father.

At last the girl's father came, he simply went to the police station and made a complaint there. The police came and arrested him. The man did not want any compensation he wanted Louise's imprisonment.

The police officer interrupted and told him to demand a compensation. He explained that if they failed to pay it then he would be taken into custody.

The man then asked for a compensation which was unthinkable for Louise's father. The police gave them 15 days time to arrange the money.

At last they decided to borrow the amount from the market and friends. They finally collected the amount and settled the matter. But the family incurred a huge loan in the market.

His father had already retired from service, therefore, it became the sole responsibility of Louise to repay the loan. Thus it became a challenge for them because after paying the huge loan amount, they should have sufficient amount to run the family.

Days were passing as usual. Burdened with a huge loan, his father came under stress and as a result had a mild heart attack. So he became unwell. His father's regret was that they had no problem financially, plus they had their own house but it was his son's stupidity and his unacceptable whim and fancy that have brought them on the road.

He said to himself, " We have come to a phase, when we have no other alternative but to starve and suffer in the old age."

The spirit of Roomy even started hunting him in Louise's office also. Once he was sitting in his counter and working. When he raised his head and looked ahead, he found Roomy standing just in front of the counter along with other customers in the same dress which she had worn when she was murdered.

She was looking at Louise straight. He became panicky, got up, left the seat ,had gone back to avoid her.

When he came back after 15 minutes, she was not to be seen . But this happened rather frequently and to avoid the spirit, Louise used to get away from his counter because he was left with no other alternative.

It had an adverse effect. Some customers made a complaint to the manager against Louise's not being present at the counter. Thus he was officially warned by the management not to show any dereliction to his responsibility. He was also issued a charge sheet.

Louise has now grown up and become matured. He became deeply repentant for his past mistake of killing the girl. He could never imagine that the girl,'s spirit would react the way it is doing now.

Louise's inner thoughts were," I have lost my house, my marriage has been null and void, there is a huge loan in the market, my father has been ill and now I am getting warning from my management, all because of the spirit. Any way I have to fight it out if I need to save my self."

Louise was happy to see that the spirit of Roomy stopped coming to office. As a result he was able to concentrate on his work, but he could not even imagine that a bigger trouble was in store for him.
