Hyandavi ordered her husband to check the windows and the main door. Only two of them stay in the house with her sons and their families living in USA. They are living in a big house but their children rarely meet them. So she is more worried of thieves.
"This man never does any work properly.....are you checking the windows or sleeping? " Hyandavi yelled at her husband.
Shekaram mentally yelled at his wife as he locked the main door. Of course he can't withstand the woman's mouth so he never dared to go against his wife. He confronted her in his mind and went to his room. His wife is already covered herself in blanket. Sighing that he is sleeping with a monster everyday, he switched off the lights and slept beside her.
They suddenly heard a huge scream in the house. Hyandavi pushed her scared husband to see what it was. He went downstairs in fear.
Jonny Jonny, yes papa
Hurting others, no papa
Say it again, I'm sorry mama.
Hyandavi heard a sweet voice saying the rhyme. She got frightened but did not let those emotions appear on her face.
"Who is that?" She asked loudly.
Twinkle twinkle oldie star
How I wonder when you die
Up above the world so high
Like a dead body hanging from the tree.
Hyandavi got more scared amd looked around the room. She lifted her head feeling something wrong above her. She saw a girl sitting on the fan. She screamed and ran out of the room bumping into her husband.
"Why are you running Hyandavi? Your bones are weak" shekaram said though he laughed inside to see his scared wife for first time.
"What was the sound downstairs? " she asked him. He showed an injured cat in his arms.
"It must be hungry hyandavi. and we can't allow a cat to die in the house. So I thought to give it first aid" he said.
"Tell me why you came out of bedroom?" He asked seriously. She took a deep breadth and said about the girl on the fan.
"How can it happen? We do puja daily. The god stays with us. Let me check in the room once" he went to the room though his wife tried to pull him back. He saw nobody in the room.
"Remember the God and sleep. He will protect us" shekaram said in a serious tone which hyandavi followed and slept calmly.
Shekaram was floating in air as his wife listened to him for the first time in their nearly fourty years marriage. He happily treated the wound of the cat and let it sleep in the room. It happily obeyed the old man and slept on the beanbag.
Everything appeared normal for sometime. The room got chilly so suddenly it made hyandavi get up from her sleep. She turned to ask her husband to check the windows but saw the girl lying next to her, giggling with eyes closed. She screamed which woke her husband and the cat.
"Well...I thought of sleeping with you mother in law...." vinamra said. Hyandavi got confused but her husband was already taking slow steps towards the door unknowingly.
"I'm your grandmother samyuktha" hyandavi said in shaky voice.
"Who said I'm samyuktha? Don't you remember me? I'm suresh's sister" vinamra said sitting on the bed. Her wide eyes scared the old couple and also the cat which ran as soon as shekaram opened the door. Vinamra laughed as the old couple ran out of the room.
Shekaram and his wife felt difficulty in running. They are already old and it was hard running in the darkness though moonlight entered through the windows. They came down the steps and stopped, panting for air in fatigue. They went towards the door and opened it only to see vinamra/samyuktha standing outside. They slammed the door and locked it.
