Sometimes all you had to do was exist in order to be one's Saviour!!
She was unconscious, lying there with hair all messed up and blood on her neck. It was a very critical situation, I stopped a rickshaw to drop her home. She didn't wake up, her mother asked me,"what happened to her"?I said, "I don't know aunty, I saw her lying on the street". I left for my place. As I was passing through the street where my house was on , I went to the house of that old lady and decided to pay her a visit. She was the only hope for me. I knocked on her door a couple of times. She came and said ," oh you my dear ,come in come in.." I entered ,it was a beautiful house , so much different than ours. It had high ceiling , with big and long fans hanging from the ceiling. She had all kinds of antique stuff in her home,with many portraits of gods and goddesses on the wall .
She asked me to sit on the sofa, then she said, "I know why you are here". "Oh you do" !! She was already so creepy and now even more!! She said," Saitan needs a body to travel, can change from person to person". "Wait ,what!!!That means he could be inside Preeti's body now.. So what happens to the body when he leaves?"... She said," they come back to normal but are sick for a while". I was wondering how does she know about all this. She said this is not the first time when Saitan is free." So how was he stopped previously?".."There's only one way of doing that. Back when that Researcher was killed by Saitan his soul never left the house. His soul was there trapped in that house, it had only one motive to take revenge from Saitan. He was the reason Saitan was trapped in that house".
"Now to get Saitan back in the house we needed to capture him and use the words " On namo bhagwate vasudevaya" ...he can't resist this mantra, he will get out of the body he is in and once he is out , the soul of Mahesh will capture him". What was said by the only lady in 2 sentences, was not at all easy. I said ,"I'll go home, it's too late now". I left for home, I was hoping for a quiet peaceful night.
I woke up , had my breakfast ,got ready for school. I saw Satvik sitting on the first bench as I entered the class . I didn't move at all and was staring at him as if he was dead. "Hi.. Smriti !how are you ? Why are you staring at me?? Is everything ok?" He was behaving as if nothing had happen, everything was fine... I decided not to sit anywhere near him. I sat beside Swati. Guess what?? Preeti hasn't came to school today. She was right, the old lady.. it seems that Saitan is in the body of Preeti now. I decided to talk to Satvik in the tiffin break.
"How are you Satvik? ,sorry I was being too weird" ..
"I am fine now but was having headache since yesterday evening ,don't know what was wrong with me , all memories I have is of the last time I came to your birthday. By the way ,I forgot to tell you that your mom makes yummy chole bhature". He was back to normal. Now we knew where the Saitan was.... in Preeti's body!!!
