Author's POV

After one month...

Grandma's death shook the whole family, almost a month passed all the post funeral formalities were over but still none recovered from the shock and the pain endured.

But more than anyone, the one who totally broken was Radhika. She couldn't believe that such a sweet soul grandma died because of her. She knew well that evil power took grandma's life only to threaten her and make her helpless. Of course she succeeded too in that.

After Grandma's death Radhika isolated herself from others especially she maintained distance with Arjun, because she was afraid about his safety. She chose to remain with her kids and started to live in a fear of what will happen next.

Meantime she tried to convey her problems to Arjun or Saritha a couple of times, but all her efforts went in vein that evil spirit warned her to not to tell this to anyone or else she will loose one more person from her family.

But Grandma's last words echoed in her ears again and again.

" Radhika fight back or else it will destroy all our family"

She took enough time and decided to meet someone who will believe her and help her to solve her problems, but she kept it as a secret.

She texted someone from her mobile to meet her tomorrow morning at a particular place. Also she asked that person to keep it as a secret as it is very important.

****************************************

" Radhika I know you are suffering with Grandma's death, even we all are suffering. But this is not right to keep yourself isolated. At least you can talk with me, I can't see you like this" said Arjun.

" Arjun I know what I'm doing was hurting you but trust me give me sometime. Very soon you will see your old Radhika. Please until that don't ask me anything and don't try to change me. For godsake just leave me as I'm, I will be fine" said Radhika.

Arjun was confused and worried to see her weird behaviour but he knew his wife was normal well for quite somedays, even before Grandma's death. She was suffering with some serious problem, she was often getting panic it's unusual, I could sense something wrong with her but she was not letting him know about that. Finally he agreed to her words for her sake but he decided to watch her closely to know her problems.

****************************************

Radhika feed her kids, made them get ready and sent them both to their pre-school, shortly after that Arjun too left to office. Now she was ready to take a first step against that evil spirit. She knew that if the evil spirit know her plans then the consequences will be so difficult but no other way other than this.

She dressed up tidy, went to the pooja room in their house. She took something behind the wooden mandir, it was a copper plate carved with some images and words. She remembered how she got this plate from grand ma.

Before she took her last breath grandma thrusted this plate in Radhika's hand without anyone's knowledge even Radhika was not aware for sometime while she was in shock about Grandma's death.

She took the plate, placed it carefully in her handbag, and kept some sacred ash powder on her forehead then left the room. She knew well that evil spirit might follow her so she cleverly planned to stop it from getting know about her plans. She texted that person that she started from her home.

She stopped the driver and drives the car on her own, almost after an hour travel she reached a Hanuman temple. She parked the car, started to recite Hanuman chalisa and walked inside the temple within a minute. She don't want to give a chance to that evil power to stop her at any cost.

As she expected that evil power shouted her name by standing at the entrance of the temple. But she was least bothered about that, then went inside to the temple and offered her prayers infront of God.

After her prayers were over she called that particular number and asked about that person whereabouts. Once she got the answer she walked ahead to that place and saw that person waiting for her.

" Hi... Thank you so much for your visit"  said Radhika.

To be continued...
