Author's POV

After anniversary everyone looks quite normal except Radhika, she was in frustration thinking about the recent unusual incidents. Granny teased her about their anniversary night plans, she spoke normally with her infront of all. She spoke sweetly with her like nothing happened, but Radhika was scared to go to her room alone , so she she avoided. She was more scared as well as confused to talk about this to anyone, that warning echoed in her ears often.

After a couple of days Arjun planned to take Radhika and kids to his sister Saritha's house. He felt Radhika was still disturbed after that boat incident, so he want to bring her out from it. Radhika was also happy to spend sometime with her sister in law, she was always sweet to her.

Arjun dressed up Rian and Radhika dressed up Ria, they both look so adorable. Finally Arjun took them down and asked Radhika to come fast.
She went to her closet and changed her saree, then went opposite to mirror and started to apply cream on her face.

After few seconds she noticed a change in her mirror reflection, she was puzzled and watched it keenly. It didn't do what she acted instead it acts something else. She was very scared and moved back in fear but the reflection didn't stop it's act, it smiled at her cunningly.

Suddenly it slapped hard on its own face again and again, immediately Radhika felt slapped again and again on her cheeks she cried in pain, her lips were bleeding she also noticed a finger prints on her face. All of a sudden that image choked up its own neck, subsequently Radhika felt choked and she flew in the air with her heels up. That image started to speak ,

" I warned you to stay away from Arjun, but you are disobeying my orders again " said that mirror image looked at her cruelly.

Radhika was perplexed because it was still her own image, she tried to come out of its clutches but she couldn't, she felt suffocated. Suddenly that image left her neck, Radhika was released and fell down on the floor with a sharp pain at her back, instantly she shouted Arjun's name louder.

Hearing her voice Arjun rushed to their room within few minutes, panic striken Radhika was sitting on the corner of the room by holding her knees tightly and pushing her face on it. She was shivering like a little kid was drowned in an ice water. She was completely collapsed, Arjun was shocked to see her in such a state, he asked her

" Radhika what happened to you?? Why did you shout??"

" Arjun she is hurting me , save me from her. She want to torture me" said Radhika closing her eyes and by hugging Arjun tightly.

Arjun looked around the room and asked her,
" Who want to hurt you?? Where is that person??"

"She is there, come with me I will show you" said Radhika and took Arjun near the mirror. She showed her image in mirror and said him,

" Arjun..She is the one. She slapped and choked me, look at the blood and  marks on my face"

Arjun was stunned and looked at her weirdly. Because she showed her own image to him and said it hurts her. Rather than that he didn't see any bleeding or marks on her face. He shrugged her shoulders and asked her to look at him, he said

" Radhika what are you saying?? How can you assault at yourself?? You are showing me your own face in the mirror".

Radhika was quite for a moment she looked at the mirror, she saw the  same image of her but she knew it was not her. She said to Arjun,
" Listen Arjun this is not I'm , this was something else. Look at my face I have marks on my cheeks but it didn't have any such"

Arjun was frustrated at her strange behaviour, he shouted,
" Stop it Radhika, you didn't have any marks on your face. You don't look like you were assaulted. I don't understand why are you doing this??"

Radhika flinched in fear, she touched the places it hit her, she felt the pain over there. She looked at the mirror but she couldn't see blood marks or finger prints on her face.

She waved her hands and walked hear and there, she was sure that now it was her own image not that horrible one. She started to rub her face with her palms, and cry on her knees.

" Arjun believe me, really it assaulted me very badly. I saw my blood and it's finger prints on my face. Now I don't know how it wa vanished" Said Radhika while sobbing.

Arjun was confused and looked at her strange behaviour, he thought definitely something wrong with her. He didn't ask her anything and just pampered her in his arms and said,
"Ok I believe you, don't cry"

Radhika didn't stop crying, she didn't know how to prove him what is happening around her. She asked him to trust her words , again and again she said the same words.

He said, "let's discuss later, children were waiting for us for so long. Now we will leave to Saritha's house. Come with me". He made her get up with him, she obliged what he said.

" Wash your face and I will wait here, you look so tired and dull. Our kids will be worried"  said Arjun.

Radhika nodded her head and turn towards the washroom, after taking few steps she stopped suddenly.

Arjun  was puzzled and asked" what happened Radhika??".

"Arjun I'm scared.It will come back again. Can you please come with me??" Asked Radhika with her eyes pooled with tears.

Arjun was speechless he can't believe what was happening to his wife. He just nodded his head and went with her. She did fresh up, but her eyes were looking at the mirror terrific. He watched her all the while and noticed her weird behaviour.

" Radhika let's go. Come with me" said Arjun and held her hands firmly. She looked at the mirror once while crossing it and then they both walked out of the room.

Next moment suddenly that image appeared on the same mirror but it looked blurred and said,

" Radhika... Once again you went neglecting my words. But this time your punishment will be big. You need a lesson" . It laughed louder horribly and it echoed in that whole room.

To Be Continued....
