Chapter 3 - Neil's life in peril

Neil lights the matchstick but it fell on the shirt he is wearing. Fire starts spreading around his shirt and pants. He starts shouting. Avni is shocked...

11 hours 45 minutes ago,

Avni banged on the door by both her hands. "Neil! Neil! Please come here and take me inside, it's too cold to stay here, I will freeze to death, all this is happening because of this dead body, please Neil hear your wife begging you for help, you're caring about the one who's dead, but what about the one who's alive?"

She said banging on the door but then she stopped hearing no response, tears of sadness and anger slipped out of her eyes, flashbacks of Neil carrying the dead body continued to haunt her. She shook her head and wiped her tears. "I won't leave him alone here with the dead body. That dead body looks so evil, pitch black eyes, I must go inside and get it out of here," she said and tried to open the door by all her strength but nothing happened. She sat on the ice getting tired.

She panted heavily. "There aren't even rocks over here by which I can break the window and go inside, what to do," she said to herself going near the window peeking inside. Just then cold air passed by her and she shuddered.

"A friend in need is a friend indeed," said a cold raspy voice.

She turned back startling by the voice. Just then the glass of the window broke on it's own. She looked back at the broken window and then jumped inside and ran directly to her and Neil's room. She watched narrowing her eyes at the dead body.

She moved Neil's arm away from the corpse and pulled the dead body(Jasmin Bhasin) down, it fall with a thud. She knelt down and took it's arm around her shoulders and stood up making it stand and walked outside the room with the dead body. She dragged it all the way downstairs and out of the house. She pushed it down on the ice and came back inside, she looked around as if searching for something.

Her gaze went on the petrol can, her face had a sly smile, she took the can and then searched for matchsticks, she found them as well and went outside. She opened the petrol can and splashed it all over the body and then lit the matchstick and threw it on her but to her bad luck, it blew off before itself as the weather was cool. She groaned. "Whatever, if you can't be burnt now, so then stay away from him, why do you keep coming back? Why? I hate you! I hate you!" - She said punching the dead body several times.

Then she stood up and went back inside closing the door. Soon, the dead body was once again covered in snow by the snowfall. Avni went upstairs and took some holy water and sprinkled it all over Neil and the bed as well. She became frustrated by his acts. And then he reacts as if nothing has happened. She laid down to sleep.

Next day, they woke up and the day started as normal but only for Neil and not for Avni, she was totally frustrated. He sensed her mood was bad and so he sat by her side. "Avni, what has happened?" He asked and she drew daggers at him by her eyes. "Seriously? You're asking me that? Neil, once again you brought that lady's corpse to our house and now you're reacting as if nothing has happened? Neil, why are you doing that? Why did you forget everything in the morning? Why? Why Neil? I want my answers," she shouted getting angry. "Relax Avni, if I brought the dead body, so then where is it?" He asked and she held his wrist and pulled him behind her taking her downstairs and then outside the house.

She knelt down and moved some of the ice and showed him the dead body. "Here it is, I was in the idea of burning the corpse but cold weather didn't help. For the past two nights, you're bring her to our house and romancing her in the bed. And you're pleasing her and ignoring me" she said cryingly and angrily both at the same time. "Okay fine, fine, don't worry," he said and held her wrist pulling her up and then took the dead body inside the house.

"Why again?" - She asked. "To burn it," - he said and she agreed. He poured petrol on her and lit the matchstick and was about to burn it but the matchstick fell on him only and his shirt caught fire. He began to scream vulnerably. "Neil!" Avni cried and looked around. "Don't worry, I will do something," - she consoled him and ran upstairs. She came back with a bucket full of water and emptied it on him, he was relieved and they had a hug eyeing the ominous dead body which caused Neil to burn.

"Neil, you landed yourself in the danger in thought of cremating it. It's better to go from here, Neil." - Avni said eyeing the dead body cryingly. "Okay okay, we will go back from here, don't worry," - Neil said. He kisses Avni's forehead. They went and packed their bags and everything else.

"You both won't be able to go from here, you both are bounded by here, you came here by your own wish, but would go by my wish," said a raspy voice which was inaudible to them.
