Chapter 22
Will the ghost attack me?
For the first time, a different sound came from the creature; a sound which appeared like coming out of extreme anger, and which had some similarity with human voice. The creature quickly turned towards Champa, and flapped its dreaded wings, which were long enough to hit her.
The power possessed by the evil creature was so enormous that Champa flew in air like a piece of paper, and hit the wall. Her head hit the wall hard, she uttered a loud cry of agony, and became senseless. In the very dim light that was coming from the emergency lamp, I could not gauge it properly, but I thought I saw some blood gushing from Champa's head.
The creature again made a hellish screech, and turned towards Tara.
"You will die now!" A loud, distorted, husky sound came from the creature. The creature sounded a dire warning, for the first time, in a voice, which I could not term as human, though, that we could understand.
"Don't kill me. What did I do to you?" Frightened Tara pleaded with folded hands.
"Ha ha ha ha", the ugly creature laughed in its nightmarish voice. The laughter apperaed more like a sound coming from starting of a heavy duty truck. We looked at each other in utter dismay.
"There can be no woman in his life, and you made love to him."
"But, why should not any woman come in his life? What did he do?" Tara was frightened to the core, but didn't lose her mind.
"He cheated me, he took my life in a way. I will not let any woman come into his life."
I was utterly shocked to hear such blatant lies against me. "Will it be right to quarrel with a ghost?" I was in a bit of dilemma. But, before I could say anything, Tara asked, "But, why me? I didn't do anything to you?"
"Enough! Will I argue with you? Prepare for death." The ghost seemed to be in no mood to waste time. After sounding the dire warning, it walked the talk, and jumped on Tara.
I had never been a believer in my life, but the situation had made me one. For the last few minutes, I had been praying for Dhuni Baba to arrive and rescue us from the nemesis. But, the God didn't seemed to have listened to me, and I could foresee that Tara was going to die. She wouldn't be able to survive the vicious attack from this enormously powerful entity even for a minute.
At this juncture, suddenly, an idea flashed in my mind. Before the creature could land on Tara, I jumped on her. The momentum of my jump took both Tara and me on the floor, and I quickly lied on Tara covering her body.
My eyes were turned away from the ghost, but I was apprehending that my back would be torn into pieces any moment. One, two, three, I counted. But, nothing happened. I waited, and waited, but no, nothing happened.
I looked up to see the ghost itself was in a great dilemma. It appeared to me as if two entities were fighting within the ghost. The ghost was ready to pounce on me, but something was holding it back.
"Get out of my way, otherwise you will be killed." Which entity within the ghost won was difficult to understand, but the ghost in its horrific voice sounded an ultimatum to me.
"Kill me. I don't want to live this life. I love Tara more than my life. Please take my life, before you take her." I said this without any hesitation.
"Ohhhhhh! If that's your decision, be ready for death." The ghost seemed to be extremely angry at my disobedience!
"One, two, three ...", again, I started the countdown of my death.
