"I have no objection whatsoever to that. Your company is very much interesting to me." I too got off from the chair.

"Remember what I have said. Make that list. It is important."

I really forgot. "What list sir?"

"The list of the things which you don't believe even your father said about them to you."

"I sure do try." Puzzling in myself how to do that, I said.

"I go now Miss Dazzle." He is now walking towards the threshold but turned once again to me and said. "Don't think I am making you feel fear again and again. But be very careful. Your life is really in danger."

***

"What? A private detective? For what purpose Dazzle?" there is a surprising expression in the face of Viola.

"To know about the thing that my dad so desperately wanted to tell me but died without telling it." Looking carefully into the face of Viola I said.

There is silence and I understood that Viola is thinking seriously. Now she is saying "Why did not we get this idea Dazzle? A private detective may really be helpful in knowing about that."

"Are you also thinking like that? George also thought in the same way."

"So it is because of that George. It seems he has got lot of influence on you." Smiling mischievously Viola is saying. "Anyhow taking the help of a private detective is not a very bad idea."

"But that private detective investigates not only about that but also...." I am explaining the rest also to her. "Are you thinking it is alright?" Finishing it all I asked her.

"You say is it is all appearing alright to you?" with frowns on her forehead Viola asked me. "Why George has got an idea like this?"

"I cannot say. But he is very much adamant about this." I am once again feeling irritation on George.

"It is appearing ridiculous Dazzle. How he can investigate into your psychological disorders?"

"But the private investigator also is positive about the result. He said that there is an inextricable link between the thing that my father wanted to tell me and my strange experiences so far. He is thinking if one of them is solved the other automatically be solved."

Once again there are frowns on Viola's forehead. "May be he is right Viola. Alright, we shall see what this private investigator would do. He promised to you to solve the mysteries just in one month itself." Hissing out heavily Viola said.

"Yes of course, he promised to me like that." Nodding my head I am saying "It is not finished yet." I am telling her about Menaka. "She is going to be with me always. She just shadows me without leaving me even for a minute until this investigation is finished."

Viola laughed out. "It is really very amusing. When that Menaka is going to report? It is really very much interesting to me."

"It is very much disturbing to me. But that Smaran is adamant. He said he stops investigation if I don't agree to this."

"What happens if he stops investigation?" with mocking seriousness Viola asked me.

I don't know what to say.

"George would not marry you. He leaves you alone and goes away."

"How do you know about it?" I am surprisingly looking into the face of Viola.

"With what else he can persuade you to all this Dazzle?" she asked me.

I closed my eyes and remain calm. Now I am feeling Viola's hand on my shoulder and she squeezed it.

"So George agrees to marry you Dazzle."

"Yes. Assumption right." I am smiling now.

"Congratulations Dazzle! You have got whatever you desperately want to have."

"But it is against your advice. You don't like it." I am saying. "You are right of course Ola. But I cannot....."

"I can understand Dazzle. I can understand. Love is like that. Once you have reached such a stage in your heart about George, the only remedy to it is to marry him and make him your man."

"Are you really feeling like that Ola? Am I not doing a mistake here?"

"I am not thinking that it is a mistake a Dazzle. As I have said earlier you are mostly thinking about your organizations and people directly and indirectly depended on it. For smooth running of your organizations George is very important. You want to keep him in your conglomerate by marrying him. In fact you are doing it for the other people than you Dazzle. Subconsciously this is the reason in your adamancy for marrying George."

I just don't know what to say. What all I can manage to say then is "You are indeed a wonderful psychologist Ola. You know about my mind more than I." putting my hands around her shoulders and kissing on her cheek I said.

"You decided to marry Gorge? I did not expect this Dazzle." The disappointment in my aunt's face is worrying me.

"Don't you like it aunt? Don't you like my marrying George?" I am asking her anxiously. "I am not doing a right thing, is it is not?"

"Of course you are doing a right thing Dazzle." My aunt is saying again after a pause. "George is a very good person. I know about him very well. The only problem here is he is too old for you."

"Yes, I too agree with it."

We are all in the kitchen taking our dinner.

"But Dazzle dear. I want to make my ideas clear to you here. I also know George personally and I must say he is a good personality."

Now I am looking at Williams who temporarily suspended his eating to talk with me. "George is too old for you that is the first point to consider here. The next thing is he is not appearing as a family type. If he likes a marriage and a family why he remained a bachelor till now?"

"Only to marry our Dazzle. If he married by now and has a family is there a chance at all to our Dazzle to think about him?" Viola said.

All of us burst into laughter. "You are absolutely right." Williams said. "Anyhow my heartiest congratulations Dazzle. I wish your life with George would be absolutely lovely and happy."

"Thank you very much Williams. Thank you." I beamed with very much happiness.

"My congratulations also to you Dazzle. Even aged, Williams is a very good man. It is really very difficult to get such a good person into our life." My aunt said.

"Thank you very much aunt."

Now I am telling them about the private investigator and they three are looking into each other's faces. Viola is smiling as she already knows about it.

"Dazzle. If it is George who suggested it I think it is certainly be helpful." My aunt said. "We ourselves never can know what your dad wanted to say to you before his death. A skilled detective may do that. Who knows?"

"But what about his probing into Dazzle's psychological disorders also? How a private investigator can be helpful in this?" Viola said.

"What you could do as a psychologist here?" Williams asked. "May be a private detective would be helpful in that regard also. I am not seeing any loss in this at all."

"Is it is also suggested by that George?" with a full smile on her lips my aunt asked me.

"Yes." My cheeks are blushed.

"Then let it be. What's the loss? He may be helpful. So far Viola could not be much successful in that."

I cannot refrain from smiling while Viola is looking at my aunt angrily.

"Oh, aunt. I want to say something more to you. Some girl by name Menaka is going to enter into this house." Now I am telling about Menaka to them.

"Heartiest welcome to her, Dazzle." My aunt is saying "We are all so eagerly waiting for her."

***

I am feeling amazing while looking at Menaka. I am still remembering the words Smaran said to me. 'You are not going to be disappointed Miss Dazzle.' But I did not expect her to be glamorous! This Menaka is really beautiful! I am in the office and the time is eleven in the morning.

"I am sorry madam. I have to meet you quite early. I became late." Placing herself in the chair opposite to me Menaka said.

"Not a problem at all." I am feeling happy looking at Menaka. "So you are going to be stay with me always until your uncle's investigation is completed in all respects."

"My uncle is quite particular about that madam. He asks me not to leave you even for a minute. Even you don't like it I am helpless. I have been given strict instructions by my uncle to inform him if you don't like my company and asks me to go out."

I burst into laughter. "My god! Your uncle is really impossible! Why all this is?"

"Madam" Menaka's face became serious. "I must say one thing here. My uncle never says anything unnecessarily. If he thinks your life is in danger he is quite right about it."

I hissed out heavily. "Now I am helpless." I am saying. "Then stay with me always. I have no objection whatsoever."

"Thank you, madam." Menaka said with a smile.

While we both are talking like that Nova entered into my chamber. On seeing Nova, I have remembered one thing. I did not say about my talking with Nova's late husband to Smaran. I don't know whether it is important to report about it or not. Then I remembered what Smaran have said. To report to Meanka or to him if I do remember anything worth notifying later.

"How much you have been briefed about my matter Menaka?"

"Thoroughly madam. Without telling me about the case completely my uncle would not involve me in that."

I yawned heavily and then said. "Your uncle asked me to tell you also if I remember anything worth reporting. Now I remember one thing."

Nova stands there completely involved in her work. She is collecting some files in my cabin to take them to George. I know just in few minutes Nova would leave that place. It has happened just like that then.

"Now tell me madam. What it is?"

I am explaining to her about Nova, her talking with her late husband and then my talking with Nova's late husband through Nova. "What you are thinking about this Menaka?" I asked her after completing the same.

"First you tell me what you are thinking about this madam? Are you really thinking that you have talked with Nova's late husband?"

This Menaka's question irked me. "In fact I don't believe in spirits Menaka. But the circumstances now are forcing me to believe. My aunt told me about a woman in my dad's life and her death in an accident. This Nova's late husband also said to me about a woman devil who is so desperate to take revenge on me. He further said that woman devil caused my dad's death." I poured out what I am thinking.

Hearing all that patiently, Menaka burst into laughter. "You are believing all this madam? Really you are believing all this?"

"Don't laugh like that. It is irritating to me. I told my reasons why I am believing in it." I angrily said.

"I am so sorry madam. I should not have laughed like this." with difficulty Menaka controlled her laughter. "However much interlinked it may appear, there are no devils anywhere madam. I am quite sure of that."

I don't know what to say. I just remained silent. I am enjoying the company of this Menaka. Her face is completely displaying her intelligence.
