"Why it does like that?"

"We cannot say. We cannot say until we know what it is and why it is after you."

"But your theory is not that much agreeable to me Viola." I said to her. "It talked just like Chuck. It is behaved just like Chuck." Remembering the way I have been enjoyed in the library I said.

"Alright." Viola nodded her head. "Before we decide whether it is Chuck or any other supernatural thing, we have to be convinced the experiences you are having are not because of psychological disorder."

"You are still feeling that I am suffering psychologically?" I am staring at Viloa with a frown on my forehead.

"I am first a psychologist and then any other thing. Yes, I am still thinking some psychological disorder in you is the reason for your experiences. Until and unless I am sure that you are psychologically fit, I am not going to see this problem in any other angle even I am having belief in supernatural and devils."

"But, still I cannot understand one thing" I am still looking into the face of Viola and saying "You have a psychic link with me and perceived I am in danger. But you are not believing that some supernatural causing that danger to me."

"I did not rule out that supernatural thing completely Dazzle" Viola hissed out heavily and leaned back in the chair. "But, with psychic links we can know with whatever problems the other people are. They sometimes even physical and material problems also. They need not necessarily caused by some supernatural."

I just don't know what to say to this. "Alright then." I nodded my head and saying. "But do something fast and save me from these unsavourable experiences."

"I sure do that. You need no doubt in it at all."

***

I am normal in the office and not worrying too much about the experience I have in the home. But I am feeling fear that I may have that experience in the office also. Viola suggested me something to keep away such type of experiences far from me. That is I have to say to myself often that I am not dreaming, I am awaken and strong and would not be subject to hallucinations and imaginations. It appears quite silly to me but I did not argue with Viola. But surprisingly I am saying that in myself again and again without my intention.

I am now seeing the news paper. For the last two or three days I have not been seeing it. I am feeling fear that I may have to witness my Lipsom shares going even more down and down and could not dare to look at that. Now fixed in my mind and daringly went into the business section. There is a small column that we are purchasing Lipsom shares heavily. In the same column it is reported that Lipsom shares are up by thirty percent! I involuntarily got off from the chair I sat. Up by thirty percent! It is just working in the way George said. Every George failed in his ideas? I am feeling so much happy.

I am hearing now the ringing of my cell phone and I take it into my hand. It is George! I attended it and said "Hello, George. Good morning." It is the first time on that day to me to talk with George.

"Good morning to you too." There is a pause. "See in the business section of the paper. There it is reported our buying back Lipsom shares. It is already up by thirty percent."

"I saw it George. You are ingenious!" I am laughing heartily. In fact I am feeling so happy that I have forgotten about the bad experiences in the house.

"Now I am coming to you Dazzle. There are important matters to discuss with you."

His abrupt cutting off the phone irritated me. I leaned back in the chair and closed my eyes. George's idea worked up hundred percent! I never can think an idea like this to make our Lipsom shares up.

I heard the sound of dragging of the chair and opened my eyes. George is in the opposite chair to me with a smile on his lips.

"I am feeling very happy George. I thought our Lipsom shares price may go even more down and down but it did not happen like that." I hissed out heavily and saying with the same cheerfulness. "Now it is not just our company's shares thirty percent up but we owned how much it is now?"

"Eighty five percent. We bought shares at a very low price indeed. Just wait, Lipsom shares go to new heights in very little time." He is observing me keenly and I can understand why he is looking at me like this. However materialist a person may be, my glamour attracts him to the maximum.

"Oh, how much I do wish it!" I heartily laughed.

"I came to know why it has happened like that Dazzle." George said with a small voice.

"Why, you came to know the reason?"

"Yes, it is the work of our business rivals." I am listening intently while he is saying the names. "They are with the opinion to buy Lipsom shares in large measure once it came down drastically. They have started selling their shares and put even more for selling. But they did not expect that we buy it back ourselves. Their idea backfired on them."

"Excellent indeed! Without you it never would be like this." I am looking admiringly at him.

"It is not so. It is indeed a very simple thing. But the most important thing......" he paused for a moment. "We should never pledge our shares. Then only we can feel secured even it is happening like that to our company's shares."

"You are right. I agree with your opinion." I nodded my head. "Are there any of our company's shares on pledge with any financial institution?"

"Never. I never allow such type of things to happen." He leaned back and closed his eyes. I am observing him so keenly. George is indeed very handsome. Despite of his forty four years age, he is appearing quite young and his hair is completely black. Whether he colored it or it is naturally black like that I cannot understand.

"In fact your father and I quarreled on one occasion for this matter. He wanted to pledge our Net company shares to make some investment. In fact without my knowledge he pledged them too. But I made him release the pledge immediately. I threatened him to leave you people if he did not do it like that."

Now he opened his eyes and is straightly looking into my eyes.

"Just in the next moth quite unfavorable circumstances came in that sector and our Net shares came down drastically. Your father personally applauded me for my wisest decision."

"I must say we are like this now just because of your clever decisions." I know I cannot get rid of admiration in my eyes.

"I agree my decisions helped you people to some extent. But they are not the sole reason for the position of your company on this day. Except on few occasions, your dad took all the clever decisions. He is very clever and intelligent. He is the person who put the seed of this conglomerate, watered it and made it this much big! How can ever we forget about this?"

I am not talking anything but listening intently. Listening like this about my father is making me happy.

"I still can remember the first day I met your father. It is fifteen years or so back. I was one of the fifteen who could reach the final stage. Your father selected me. He said to me on that day. 'I found something separate and definite in you rather than your qualifications and intelligence. It is just my hunch that you will be quite helpful to us. That is why I am giving you this position even you don't have much useful experience.' I really could not believe my ears on that day. I never have expected that I could get that job. I was really having not much useful experience whatsoever by then."

"But you really made our father's hunch true." I am smiling and I have seen the change of the expression on Geroge's face. I know that my smile has a mesmerizing effect on the other people.

"I learnt everything only here Dazzle. I learnt a lot that I did not learn in my studies. I learnt a lot here from your father which I cannot learn in any other way at all."

"Is it is so? I am feeling very much thrilled to hear all this." I am really feeling very much thrilled while hearing from him so.

"I must say I have associated with your father and intimated with your father more than you in a different way Dazzle. Most of the time we are like friends. On some times we are quarreled. I did not really mean but on one or two occasions I threatened him to leave him."

"I know about those occasions George. Whether you may not know but he was very much disturbed at those times. He did not like it even a little bit. Then we understood what a control you are having on our organizations." I am smiling again. I am not feeling even a little bit of anger on George.

"I am sorry Dazzle. I am terribly sorry now and even then also. I have to do it like that only out of compulsion. Only to do some good to you people. It is never my intention to make your father feel unhappy." I am seeing now regret in the eyes of George.

"I can understand that George." I quickly took the hand of George into my hands and kissed on that. I squeezed his hand in my hands.

There is a terrific change in the expression of George. He is trying to withdraw his hand but I held it strongly in my hands. Oh, what I am doing? What type of feeling I am pumping into George by my behavior? I really don't like to leave his hand but his troubling feeling made me leave it.

He hissed out heavily and now keeping his hands in his lap. May be he is feeling fear that I may attempt that again.

"It is indeed a rude shock Dazzle. A rude shock to me that Thomas died like that. I know that he had a heart problem. I know that he was in precarious condition. But I did not expect like that at all that he would die so."

Now I am feeling sad again. The memories of my father once again invaded on me.

"I am sorry. I don't want to make you feel bad."

"I never feel bad thinking about my dad." With firmness in my voice I said. "I may feel sad but never bad."

There is silence for few seconds and I am saying again. "Death of my dad is more than a shock to me. It made me numb. If it is only the death I may not have worried this much." I am feeling irritation and came off my chair and went middle of the room. "But what that is, he that much desperately wanted to share with me? What that could be? My head is just breaking into pieces thinking about it."

"You have asked me whether he shared anything related that with me." The calm expression on the face of George is surprising to me.
