Just then Mushtaque’s phone rang. It was from Abhay. Abhay said, ‘Sofia is out of danger now.’ Mushtaque was relieved. He looked up and said a silent prayer of thanks. He then looked at Naresh Sharma and Shubhangi and said, ‘Please come with us to the police station. We need your kids to come with us too.’ Shubhangi said with fear in her eyes, ‘Naina is staying over with a friend of hers tonight. Nirali is with Nihaar in the hospital. Nitisha is fast asleep. I will wake her up.’ Mushtaque said, ‘You guys come with us. We will speak with Nihaar in the hospital itself. We will pick up Nirali from there. Give us Naina’s address, we will pick her up from there.’ Mushtaque called up some officers and asked them to pick up Nirali from the hospital. Nihaar can come only after he was discharged. That Mushtaque will have to follow up.

Mushtaque reached the police station with Naresh Sharma and Shubhangi. Mushtaque asked Naresh Sharma and Shubhangi, ‘Why did you hide someone’s death? Don’t you know it is a hideous criminal offence?’ Shubhangi broke into tears and said, ‘We did not want to hide anything, but the situation was such that if we informed the police, there would have been legal proceedings. How would we manage things. We were parents also then, not just husband and wife. Who would take care of everything if we were sent to police custody and if there were legal proceedings!’ Saying that, Shubhangi broke into tears.

Mushtaque then said, ‘Where did you hide the dead body?’. Naresh Sharma said softly, ‘I can show it to you.’ Mushtaque then said bitterly, ‘My wife is suffering because of you all. Is it true that Mala’s spirit haunts the house?’ Naresh Sharma wiped his tears and said with folded hands, ‘We are sorry for what you have gone through. Yes……Mala still haunts that place. She will only go if her body is cremated with full honors and she needs a soul.’ Mushtaque listened to Naresh Sharma bewildered and said, ‘ Soul?’ Naresh Sharma wept and said, ‘Yes….. that’s why she took shelter in your wife’s body. She needs your wife’s soul. If she gets that, she will leave the house.’ Mushtaque pulled Naresh Sharma’s collar and said, ‘HOW DARE YOU SAY THAT? HOW DARE YOU?’

Mushtaque had sent some of his officers to get Niraali from the hospital and Naina from her friend’s place. Mushtaque told Naresh Sharma and Shubhangi, ‘If something happens to my wife, all of you are dead meat. Mark my words.’

Meanwhile at the service apartment, the door bell rang. Sarita opened the door. The person at the door asked, ‘Is Saanchi okay? Did you check on her?’ Sarita replied, ‘N….no….I am too scared.’ The person said, ‘Get me her food. I will help her eat.’ While Sarita went to fetch food, the person went near Saanchi. Sitting beside Saanchi, the person first touched Saanchi’s satin white gown. Then, softly, the person slid the gown up from Saanchi’s ankles to Saanchi’s thighs. The person then touched Saanchi’s soft skin and bent to kiss her thighs. Then, softly and gently the person touched Saanchi’s bosom. The satin gown was big hurdle. The person was about to strip Saanchi when a bullet came and hit the person right on her hand. She shrieked in pain and fell off the bed. Mushtaque stood there in his soldier form and said, ‘Your game is over Nirali. When my officers told me that you were not there in the hospital, I knew, it’s you behind all this mess. ’ Nirali was shocked. She looked at all the people near Mushtaque. Naina, Nitisha, Suresh, Shubhangi, Sarita, Naresh, they were all there along with the officers of Mushtaque’s team. Nirali hated the Sharma Family. Yes, her uncle Suresh had told her all. She was hated by everyone, or so she felt, not only because she was an illegitimate child, but also because she was a lesbian.

Nirali laughed like a mad woman and said, ‘Huh, so, what will you do? Kill me? The way you killed my mother? Go ahead. Kill me. But, my mother will not spare you. None of you. She will need a soul. HAHAHAHAHHAH. Yes. And that soul will be one of you. She will kill you. You guys deserve a painful death for the all the wrongs you did. You ruthless people. You think, I know nothing? I know everything. I will spare none of you.’ Shubhangi said crying, ‘ Nirali, we don’t know what Suresh told you. But, we were not responsible for your mother’s death. Yes, we committed a huge crime and we sinned by hiding her death. But, trust me dear, we never wanted her to die. We did not kill her.’ Suresh knelt down before Nirali and said, ‘I am sorry dear. I have misled you. If I had wanted, your mother’s soul would have been at peace. But, I was also overcome by greed. The Sharmas took good care of you. They sent you to the best school, they gave you the best of everything. But, I still wanted you to hate them so that you manipulate them and manage to get yourself some part of the property for yourself and me. I control your mother’s spirit with the tools a paranormal expert had given me. If I had wished I could have ensured her soul to be at peace. But, I made her suffer too because I wanted a better future for you and me.’ Nirali listened to Suresh bewildered. Nirali then screamed, ‘BUT I LOVE SAANCHI.I NEED HER.’ Suresh said softly, ‘But, darling, you will have to accept that this is not possible. Even if you forcefully keep her with you, she can never love you. You need to understand that.’

Before anyone could say anything more, the lights went out. The stench of rotten meat engulfed the air. The shadow in red saree and red bindi swayed on the wall, right behind Saanchi. Everyone froze. The spirit adorned Saanchi’s body and Saanchi stood up. Saanchi roared, ‘THAT’S IT. I AM TAKING THIS SOUL WITH ME.’ Mushtaque was about to rush to Saanchi when Saanchi walked towards the balcony. She kept on cackling. Niraali cried and said, ‘NOOOO. DON’T DO THAT. YOU KNOW I LOVE HER. LET SAANCHI GO’. Saanchi roared and said, ‘I NEED A SOUL. I NEED PEACE. I AM TAKING HER SOUL.’ Saying that Saanchi went closer and closer to the balcony. Mushtaque knew he had to do something. He could not shoot because the bullet will hit Saanchi. Saanchi went closer to the railing in balcony. Mushtaque screamed….. ‘NO, SAANCHI DON’T DO THAT.’ Suresh said without any expression, ‘This is not your Saanchi. This is my sister Mala. Let me handle her.’

Suresh yelled, ‘MALA, LISTEN. LEAVE THAT GIRL ALONE. YOU NEED A SOUL. I WILL GIVE YOU A SOUL. LET HER GO’. Saanchi roared, ‘NO!’. Slowly, Suresh went closer and closer to Saanchi. Saanchi leaned on the balcony railing and before she could jump, Suresh threw some powder on her. Suddenly Saanchi fell on the balcony floor and writhed and shivered. A wisp of smoke came out of her body, engulfed Suresh and in fraction of a second Suresh fell off from the balcony. He was spot dead.

Everyone gasped. Mushtaque ran to Saanchi. He patted her cheek. Saanchi opened her eyes. She looked at Mushtaque weakly and smiled. Mushtaque hugged her tight. He looked at Saanchi again and then hugged her again. His eyes were bloodshot red. The officers who had brought Naina, ran downstairs to find Suresh’s body. Nirali knelt down on the floor shattered. Her hand was bleeding. Abhay just came from the police station. He called up the ambulance immediately for Nirali. Mushtaque then called Sarita and said, ‘Take Saanchi to the other room.’ Saanchi looked around confused. She asked, ‘What’s happening?’ Mushtaque said, ‘I will tell you all. But, now, please go with Sarita.’

Mala’s remains were found. They were cremated with all the rituals. The Sharma family was sent to police custody for further investigation and trial. The service apartment was sealed.

Mushtaque and Saanchi reached their home town. Parvati insisted on Mehek staying with her for some more days.

Saanchi was lying on the bed and reading a book. Mushtaque leaned over her, took her book away and said, ‘Books can wait, what do you say?’ Saanchi touched Mushtaque’s cheek and said with tears in her eyes, ‘Thank you!’. Mushtaque brushed her hair and said, ‘Thank you? For what?’. Saanchi hugged him, cried and said, ‘For saving my life, for everything.’ Mushtaque patted Saanchi’s shoulder gently and whispered in her ears, ‘I am very selfish. I cannot let my love and life suffer.’ Mushtaque and Saanchi hugged each other, felt each other and, the breezy, beautiful night, embraced them in the sweet lullaby of love and only love…………………………….
