My story is about my husband. In the beginning, i thought my husband was having an affair with another woman. We've been married for about 7 years when this thing happened. We have 2 children. I was super worried about my marriage. I saw that my husband had started changing into a different person. He will always come home late, avoid eating the food that i've cooked for him and we seldom had a good chat anymore like normal married couples would have.

I confided everything to my Mum. But she refused to believe my story.

"Your husband is a good man dear. He respects others, never missed his prayers. I just don't believe he would do such a thing to you. But now, like you told me he has changed.. but i can feel that something is very fishy. How can someone change so fast? The best solution i can give you is, meet a professional or a religious teacher on this matter. Or even a good witch doctor.." my Mum told me which shocked me.

I'm a modern lady and at first i didn't believe what my Mum said. In my heart i was like..

"Mother?? My marriage is in trouble day by day..but all you can say is a witch doctor?"

I know very well what she meant. She believes that there is a ghost in my husband's body or to make it short, someone had done black magic on him! I really don't believe it! But guess what? That is the answer to all my prayers. Let me tell you how.

So the next step was, my Mum brought me to Jurong area to meet someone at his house. He is a religious teacher. Thank God not a witch doctor. After explaining my whole story, he promised to help us. But he told me that he needs some of my husband's personal things to start with.

The next appointment with him, i brought along some of my husband's things and also my husband's picture. I couldn't disclose what exactly are the things. He then hold the picture and closed his eyes for a while. Then he took the other stuff and closed his eyes again. Then he told me,

"Hmm.. i think your husband.. 'something' is attached to him.."

"Huh?" i was so confused.

"I haven't know in detail but i can feel very strongly that 'something' is disturbing him. So after this, the 3rd appointment is, i need to visit your house." he continued.

What happened was on that fateful day, my husband was at home. My parents came to my house along with the religious teacher.

'THUD THUD THUD!' knocks on the door.

"Hey! We come here because we missed you all. I cooked for you and uh.. this is my old friend from my old village. We saw him at the void deck so i asked him to come up as well and join us for lunch.." my Mum created a short story and introduced the religious teacher to my husband.

The religious teacher smiled at my husband and when they shook hands, the religious teacher started to read some prayers. The moment he started to read it, my husband quickly pulled away his hand and said,

"Never mind, you all eat first.." and he quickly went away and lock himself up in the room.

My parents and i looked at the religious teacher with full intense, waiting for his reply.

"I think your husband is under the influence of black magic.." the religious teacher said.

Black magic is not a good thing but deep down in my heart, i was the happiest woman at that point of time because... now i know that my husband is innocent. Whatever he did or the reason why he had changed, was due to black magic. Not because he was having an affair.

"Uncle, what am i going to do now?" i asked the religious teacher.

"I need to meet your husband again. I need him to sit in front of me and i will read a lot of prayers and then we will see his reactions.." he replied.

"Dear, dear... Mum is waiting for you. Let's eat together.." i said as i knocked on the bedroom door.

"Never mind dear, you all proceed.." my husband replied.

Its so weird that he didn't want to get out of the room and eat with us.

"Never mind, let me try.." the religious teacher told me.

He started reading a lot of prayers outside the bedroom and then..

"OI! WHAT'S ALL THESE NOISE! I WANT TO SLEEP!"

My husband started shouting from inside the room but that didn't stop the religious teacher from reading. He raised his voice and read even louder. The situation has gotten very intense.

Suddenly my husband opened the door.
