Chapter4: The unseen tomorrow
AT SHRIDHAR NIWAS
It was a humid morning at Thiruvananthapuram. The young members of the family were busy dozing off. The elders had decided to flee before anyone of them would be awake. Nandini and Shikha were ready along with Ramanujan but Raj was nowhere to be seen.
Nandini: Shikha, were is Raj?
Shikha: I don't know di. The last time I saw him was in the morning.
When Raj arrived.
Raj: Good morning.
He wished everyone as he was coming down stairs. He tripped at the last stair and took support of the table just besides the staircase. The flower-vase on the table fell down as an immediate reaction and the sound made by the fall was enough to wake up Vardhan whose room was just a little distance behind the staircase. He jerked up due to the sound. He looked at the wall clock and it showed 04:30 am. He was hell confused and he checked his alarm clock, it too showed the same timing. He was surprised to know that someone had woke up so soon, even though it was not some kind of an occasional day. He yawned and proceeded towards the door. He opened the door and saw his dad and aunt yell at his uncle. They stopped their internal strife as they saw him approaching them. He cocked his eyebrows as if asking them what they were doing so early.
Vardhan: You all here together??? Something serious??? Everything fine right???
Nandini: Yeah, everything is fine. We actually... we... yes we are going to visit the new temple.
Raj: Yeah... we are going to the temple.
Vardhan: Ok then I will get ready and drop you all, just give me some time.
Ramanujan: No, no. We will be late for the office today so you first go there. We will manage.
Vardhan: Sure???
Nandini: Yes beta. Now you go and sleep.
He went inside again.
All of them sighed a relief and proceeded towards the house.
They quickly rushed towards their car and headed towards the house of the guruji.
The house was huge but simple. There were no unnecessary decorations as such.
They entered the house and saw a vast hall painted in white.
A saintly man approached them
Ramanujan: Swami jee???
Man: Yeah he is inside there. He said pointing at the way leading towards the backyard.
They went there. They saw a man in his late 40's sitting in some mudra and chanting few mantras.
They joined their hands respectfully and called out to him.
He opened his eyes. They were filled with bliss for god.
He motioned them to sit on a sofa and they obeyed his command. They explained him the happenings in their house and he patiently listened to them. He toke note of the fiascos of the Shridhar Family.
After having recited the stories of their house, Ramanujan said,
Ramanujan: Please Swami jee. We are desperately in need of your help. We've heard that you provide great help at such matters. So we have come seek for peace at your shrine.
Swami: I totally understand your problems Mr. Ramanujan. I've heard about it from many people, after all you are a pre-eminent personality. But I can't help out much. I can only say that there is a paranormal entity residing in your house, because no one could do such blunders.
To say that they were shocked would be an understatement. Their mouths formed a perfect "O" They were terrified to know that there was a ghost residing in their house.
Ramanujan: But you were our last hope. What will we do now? How will we ever come out of this problem? How will I get my daughter settled down at a right place at right hands?
Nandini started sobbing hearing this.
Swami: No need to worry. I will surely visit your house and search for a solution. I am sure that the entity has entered one of your family members body. It is quite dangerous. But I suggest you to meet Dr. Randhir Singh Shekhawat. He is a psychiatrist and is currently staying in Mexico along with his friends and colleagues. He has cured many such patients and I think he may help out.
Everyone felt weird as they only thought that religion and science can never sustain together.
Swami: (Sensing their perplexed mind) I know you might be thinking how a person like me can ask you to seek the help of a doctor. I actually know Randhir since his youth. He was very nice guy and also an orphan so he had come to my place for a psychology study research and his teacher was my friend. He is still in touch with me and I know him quite well. And the other reason for me suggesting this is that I am well educated and believe in science, but I strictly believe in the existence of evil as well.
Nandini: (Listening patiently to each and every word) Thanks a lot Swami jee. We are glad that you will help us. And we will surely seek anyone's help for our kids.
Ramanujan smiled and nodded in conformity. They exchanged some small talk on the topic and Swami jee gave them the contact details of Randhir, but he still told them that he would himself call Randhir back to India and they don't need to take the trouble. They agreed to what he said and returned home happily. Now he was the only ray of hope for them.
IN MEXICO
He was busy sipping his coffee and surfing the net. Suddenly his phone beeped and he smiled looking at the caller's name.
Randhir: Long time
Swami: Yeah, how are you son?
Randhir: Fine. So all's well there?
Swami: No, I actually need your help son.
Randhir: Your wish is my command.
He said casually.
Swami jee narrated him the whole story and then asked him,
Swami: You will come right?
Randhir: Yaa sure. I will be there in a couple of days. I will ask my buddies and let you know when we will be there in India.
They talked for some more time and then they cut off.
Randhir's POV
Shridhar's??? Why am I getting the gut feeling that I've heard this name somewhere? But where exactly? Oh god I need to know. Why am I getting tensed, the technology has progressed. Let's check on the net.
End of POV
He surfed the net for some more time and the realization struck him. He smirked thinking how he knew the name. He thought of waking up Jiggy and Kausy but he thought they might be sleeping and he should wait for the morning to arrive and to give them a surprise.
