"George I am sorry. I think I am making you feel uncomfortable" I am saying. "As it has come this far I must tell you the truth. I just cannot bear if anything happens to you."

"Why it is so Dazzle?" looking with a smile on his lips George asked me.

"I cannot say George. I just cannot say." I am saying with firmness in my voice. "It is just like that. I am feeling so strongly about you and if you want to call it as love I have no objection whatsoever to that."

I am looking into the face of George and expecting some surprise feeling in it. But I cannot see anything like that at all.

"I have expected this Dazzle. I know that you are interested in me." The smile on his lips is still continuing. "But I am sorry Dazzle. I cannot accept your love."

"But why George? Don't I deserve you? I agree I have spent a free way of life. But I am telling you the truth. Only you are in my heart now. No one else. I just don't know how to convince you."

"You need not Dazzle. You need not." George came and sat beside me on the sofa and is looking into my face. The smile is still on his lips making me relaxed. "It is the other way. I don't deserve you."

"No, it is not at all so." Garlanding my both hands around his neck I am saying looking into his eyes. "You are no less. I say it is only because of you that our organizations are like this now. You more than hundred percent deserve me."

"Please Dazzle. Just take your hands away from me." Smoothly reliving my hands around from his neck George is saying. "I always value Thomas a lot. I felt awe and fear towards that old boy in those days. Now also my feelings are just the same towards him. You are so precious to me Dazzle. Whenever I look at you I remember him. I never can think I lay my hands on his daughter. I am so low in everything to your family. It is quite inconceivable to me."

"No George don't talk like that." I am hastily saying. "I never have thought about you like that. You are always a hero to me."

"You were just twelve years or so aged Dazzle when I entered into your organization. You are just a kid now also. You remain like a kid to me forever. Just see the age-gap between you and me. I am aged forty four and you are just twenty four....."

"No George I am twenty six." I interrupted George.

"Alright twenty six. The gap is nearly twenty years! How do you think to marry a person who is nearly twenty years older to you?" knitting his brows together he asked me.

"I have no objection whatsoever to that. Why do you object to it then?" I hissed out heavily and am still looking into his face.

"No Dazzle. I always object to it. I agree you are very glamorous. Any guy feels so lucky if you offer yourselves so. But I cannot. I just cannot entertain even an idea like that on you while having such awe and respect on your father. At the same time I cannot marry someone who is nearly twenty years younger to me. Moreover....." he looked straight into my eyes.

"Go on. Why you have stopped?" I am irritating hearing him like that. I am becoming more and more resolved to make George my man.

"I am not a marrying type. If I want to marry I would have married a long time back itself. Are you thinking at this forty four years of age I do prefer to marry?"

"I am thinking that you have remained unmarried like this only to marry me."

Hearing that George burst into laughter. "How you are thinking like that I just cannot understand. You are doing yourself a great injustice if you want to marry me. You have to get your mind examined for this. It's a crazy idea."

"I am firm in what I am thinking George. There is no question that I do leave you. I make you my man whatever may be the terms that I have to comply with for it." I am saying firmly "Alright leave it aside for the moment. Now tell me what you are thinking about the incident that happened on this day."

"Someone deliberately tried to kill me." I am seeing some uneasiness in the face of George. I know that just what I have said made George uneasy.

"Why he tried to kill you like that? Why someone wants to make you off the earth?"

"I don't know the answers to these questions."

"Have you given a police complaint yet?"

"No I have not." George nodded his head in negation.

"Why not? What is the guarantee that man does not try to kill you again?"

"I shall be more careful in future." The smile on his lips this time is irritating to me.

"It is foolishness George. You must give a police complaint."

"I did not see anything clearly. I did not see the vehicle number either. Basing on what I do give a police complaint?'

"You are talking like a child George." I nodded my head helplessly. "Police do have their means and methods. They find out the culprit somehow or other. First you do give a complaint."

"Alright. I do it later." Hissing out heavily George said.

"No I am going to tell the police now itself." Going near to the phone there I said. George does not try to stop me as he knows that I don't stop doing it. He very well knows my adamant nature. That is what making him uneasy now. He knows once I take a decision to make him my man I don't go back on that and get it done some way or the other.

"It is an important matter. You have come to the address....Yes I am that....I am here now....come here as fast as possible.....you have to register a complaint.'

"It would have been better I do go to the police station rather than making those people coming here."George uneasily said.

"Its alright. You want to take rest. Take it." Slumping myself beside him I said again. I know our reputation make the police come as fast as possible.

"No" he got off from the sofa and started going and I also followed his suit. He is in kitchen now and in seconds prepared coffee. I also want to have something so I did not try to stop him. Taking the coffee cups into our hands we both once again are moving towards the sofa we sat before

"George you may better be careful. Whoever tried that on you may try again." Carefully I put myself on the sofa with coffee cup in my hand. I am feeling lot of fear in myself. The coffee is indeed good but one or two sips of it does not ease my fear.

"I shall. Don't worry too much about it." The uneasiness in George's face thinned. "How about you Dazzle? How everything is with you? Are you feeling comfortable now?"

I startled and hurriedly looked into the face of George. George indeed does not know what is happening in my life and how I am feeling at present. May I tell all about that to him now? I am pondering over that.

As I am mulling over like that whether to tell it to Georg or not, we heard the calling bell. "It's the police George. I go and open the doors."

It is indeed police. The inspector of the nearby police station accompanied by a constable entered into the house. He smiled and saluted me. I don't think I have seen him anytime before but because of my reputation he may be known about me well.

"George now tell what happened." Looking at George I said.

The Inspector is taking notes while George explaining to him what happened. "We will try as much as possible to catch the culprit." Closing the note book he said. "But I want to say one thing."

"I know what it is." George is smiling "I need to be careful because such an attempt may happen on me again."

"You are smart." Inspector nodded his head and said. "May I go now?"

"Sure you can." George said.

"Thank you inspector." I said to him.

"You need not." Inspector said and left that place along with the constable.

"Now Dazzle, please tell me. How really is everything to you? I know you are affected a lot because of your father's death."

"I have come to terms with that fact George. I am feeling normal about his death. But...."Still I am not convincing myself whether it is a good thing to tell all about that to George.

"Why you are hesitating? Don't try to hide anything. Are not you feeling I am close to you Dazzle?" I am looking into his face and he knitted his brows together.

Immediately I burst into laughter. "How you are thinking like that George? I am terribly in love with you and I am with a mission to make you my man by hook or crook. I can feel real near only to you."

"If it is so just tell me how everything is with you." Looking straight into my eyes George asked me.

'Is George suspecting something?' I wondered in myself. Once I am decided even to marry George what is the problem in telling about everything to him. It may be also helpful to me.

Now I am saying to him everything and he is listening carefully. About the experiences I have got, about the weeping sound presently I am hearing. Except the rape incidents. George is hearing everything so intently.

"Is all this is true Dazzle?" the seriousness in his voice is unsettling me. Now he is sure I am finished and asked me.

"No, I have concocted all this only to entertain you." Mocking seriousness in my voice I said.

He hissed out heavily and said "Why it is happening like this to you?"

"That is what I too cannot understand.'

"What is your psychologist friend Viola is saying about this?"

He is listening carefully while I am explaining to him what Viola is saying and her hypnotizing me in the night times.

He is still very serious making me even more unnerved.

"There is some more important and interesting thing to tell you." I intend to tell him about my talking with Nova's late husband.

"Don't maintain suspense Dazzle. Please tell about that also."

His face is with the same expression while I am explaining to him how and what I have talked with Nova's late husband.

"Are you really thinking that you have talked with Nova's late husband?" knitting his brows together he asked me.

"Viola also asked me the same question." I said to him.

"What answer you gave to her then?"

"Yes, I said to her that I am believing that I have talked with Nova's late husband." With firmness in my voice I said to him.

"Then you indeed lost your mind! How you are thinking that you talked with Nova's late husband? Do you really believe in devils?"

"No. I did not believe in devils until recently. But all these incidents have been forcing me to believe in devils." Now I am telling him about what my aunt said. "That Nova's husband also said that there is a woman devil who wants to take revenge on me. He further said that it caused the heart attack to my dad."
