The Voice within [Completed]

Chapter ten

Anamika's POV

Abhimanyu behaved weird after the test.

Anwar knew about the voice.

I had a tattoo on my hand without my knowledge.

That day after Anwar's proposal I slept for two days straight.

There is something wrong with me.

Suddenly the doorbell rings

It's dinner time. Who would come over at this time?

I opened the door to find my maid Kamala at the door.

"Kamala Tai, do you need something" I asked surprised.

"Yes dear. I wanted some money. Few people have come home to ask my daughter's hand in marriage" She said

Without any hesitation I gave her 2000 rupees.

"Do you have something else dear? Like soft drinks. I went to the shop and it was closed " she said.

"Yeah I'll get it." I said as I came to the refrigerator only then I noticed there was a bottle of champagne in the fridge.

I was a non alcoholic. So who brought this here?

I gave her the bottle and asked her.

"Did someone get any bottles home I mean Anwar or Jafreen?"

"No my dear" She said.

And then suddenly something hit my mind.

I meant literally and not figuratively.

"Why did you tell Anwar that I wasn't home that day?" I asked

"No that day you dressed up in a different way but you were looking really good. You said you had to go meet someone. Also you did not sound yourself"  she replied.

"What? Ok! Anyway thank you and  goodnight" I said closing the door.

"Anwar doesn't drink. So who brought this champagne bottle here." I asked myself.

Me! I heard a voice

You who?

Arre fool! let it be. I need that bottle for something. Go to sleep quick.

The voice said.

Anwar told me that the voice was dangerous and I shouldn't listen to it.

I know you better than him. He's not always right. The voice said as I heard a laugh.

I was now paranoid.

My hands were sweating and I had goosebumps all over my body.

I lived alone and yet I could hear a girl of my age talking to me.

Anu? Why're you scared? I won't eat you alive

"Who... Who are you?" I asked my voice shuttering.

Anu look I don't have time Do as I say. Go and sleep.

"No..no... I know you want to kill me!" I said

And suddenly the lights went off.

See..see..I...Im not..at all sc..scared.of you or  the darkness..I'm not a coward." I said stammering.

Oh God Anu! You're such a drama queen. now that you can't see anything trust me. And if you don't get successful, you don't have to listen to me ever again.
