"The reason she gave to us is" hissing out heavily I am saying "that her late husband is said by the woman devil who wants to do harm to me to make her resign to that job and go away from us. She said that she-devil is more powerful than her husband devil. She warns her husband that she does harm to his family if Nova does not resign to her job in our organization and go away from this town."

"Surely mad! I am saying from the beginning that she has been suffering from a serious psychological disorder. She needs urgent and immediate treatment."

"We cannot do anything. George tried his level best to convince her to stay. But she did not listen and left our organization."

After a little pause Viola is saying to me. "Its alright Dazzle. Don't worry too much about that. If you feel okay I work as your secretary until you find someone suitable."

"That is enough Ola." I smiled and said.

"Oh, the atmosphere here is indeed very good!" looking on the four sides I am saying. "I am feeling quite relaxed here Mr.Smaran."

"To hypnotize someone quite successfully" Smaran is saying "An atmosphere like this is quite necessary. There would be no disturbance to us until all this is over."

I hissed out heavily and said "What's the next step Mr.Smaran?"

"Make yourself comfortable in that chair Miss Dazzle." With the same steady voice he said.

I am looking at the chair now. It is a chair like that the back of it bent down that we can sit in that and relax ourselves thoroughly. I put myself into that and closed my eyes. Instantly I am started feeling relaxed.

Smaran came near to me and stood beside me. "You need not do anything particularly Miss Dazzle. Just leave your ears to me. Try to hear whatever I am going to say with concentration."

I nodded my head with a smile on my lips. Surprisingly I am not feeling any nervousness and feeling completely relaxed.

"There shall be all sorts of thoughts in you even while I am hypnotizing you. Just don't bother and leave them on their way. You simply try to hear whatever I am saying closing your eyes smoothly." Smaran said again.

"Alright Mr.Smaran, I do so." After closing my eyes the blankness before me also is soothing. It is just like I don't feel any uneasiness while Smaran is with me.

"I am starting it now." His voice is even more smooth and soothing to me.

"Your mind and body completely obey my words. They are completely under my control. They are completely under my control."

I am feeling a remote impact of those words in me.

"You are feeling your whole body heavier. Your whole body is becoming heavier and heavier. You cannot keep yourself awake for long. But you don't fell asleep. You are going into trance."

Smaran is talking and I am listening. After sometime I am listening to Smaran but consciously I cannot understand what he is talking. He is asking questions and I am answering. But consciously I cannot know what he is asking and what I am answering. It is all so much surprising to me. I am enjoying all that. I just lost all the sense of time. I am thinking it took considerable period of time. It is all through my subconscious mind.

"Now you are coming out of your trance. You are awakening. All your senses are coming back to you."

Now once again I am understanding what he is talking.

"Before I count five ... you do come out of trance completely. You become absolutely normal again." Now he is counting numbers. One.........two...........three..........four.........

"Five" I hissed out heavily and saying. "I just felt very much wonderful Mr.Smaran. How did all that go?"

"Just perfect!" Smaran said. "I have got everything from you that is necessary. I deprogrammed you also. You do have no such type of experiences from now on I am thinking."

"I feel very happy if it is so." I am feeling so much happy.

"Day after tomorrow is the last day Miss Dazzle. I am going to solve all the mysteries on that day. I do that in your home itself. Please request all your family members to stay at home. Oh, yes. That George also. Ask him also to be present at that time. I am thinking to unravel the mysteries before all those. There shall be no mysteries after that day Miss Dazzle." He is so much confident.

"Really it is going to be so Mr.Smaran?" I just cannot believe my ears. How he is that much confident all about this?

"Please don't doubt it. I never say empty words Miss Dazzle."

"Alright Mr.Smaran. It shall be as you asked me." I said to him.

"One more thing, Miss Dazzle." Smaran is saying. "How far it has come? How much big of list you have prepared?"

"What list?" then I got what he is citing and laughed. "It is quite torturing but I am trying my level best. I shall come up with as long list as possible."

"Alright then." Smaran nodded his head. "We can leave this place now. There is no necessity to us to stay here anymore."

***

In fact George could not come to our home on the day he promised. He came on this day. All of us are assembled in the hall with smiles on our faces. I am explaining to all what Smaran has said to me.

"Excellent! All the mysteries are going to be solved on that day! I am not going to miss that at all." Williams has become very much excited on hearing that.

"What a good news Dazzle! I am happy. There shall be no problems to you after that day." My aunt said.

"How it would be if we invite Dr.Nickerson also? He also feels very much exciting to know about this all." Viola said.

"Why not? We invite him also." Feeling exuberantly I am saying. "George, it is you that Mr.Smaran particularly wants to be present while he is unraveling the mysteries."

"I have no objection to present here then. I really enjoy that all. All mysteries are going to be solved!"

We are now in the dining room enjoying the several dishes there. "Menaka, why not you are talking anything? It is going to be your uncle's very big performance." Looking at Menaka I said.

"I agree. I am also feeling very much excitement." Menaka is smiling. "I enjoyed by participating in many of his assignments before. But this is indeed peculiar and more interesting."

"Oh, George. This celebration is particularly for you. We are all feeling so happy that our Dazzle and you are going to be one." My aunt said while serving the dishes into his plate.

"Thank you very much for all this." George is smiling.

"I wish that you both marry as fast as possible." Williams is saying. "I don't like much delay in this at all."

"I am also feeling like that. I remained as bachelor too long and bored with it. I want a family life as fast as possible."

"Excellent!" Williams said.

"But what about you and Viola? When you both are going to be married?" I asked

Hearing that Viola and Williams looked into each other's faces. Viola's face became red with shame. By that time my aunt also came to know about their affair and she is just feeling so happy for it.

"I don't like too much delay in your marriage either." I said further.

"It is all better if their marriage is also performed with our marriage." George said.

"It may be difficult to perform two marriages at a time and all the celebration shall be over at one time. It is better to perform their marriage after some days of your marriage. Then we can celebrate for a long time." My aunt said.

"This is also appearing reasonable." George said.

"What you are doing Dazzle?" Viola came to me and asked me. I am with the note book in my hand trying to make that list as much big as possible.

"Oh, you are doing the same thing again!" looking into my note book Viola said.

"That Smaran said it is very important to do. So I am trying to make this list as much big as possible trying to think as many things as I can."

"Am I going to be a disturbance to you then?"

"Never. Please sit beside me." Giving her room beside me on the bed I said.

"Where is that Menaka? She is supposed to be with you all the time."

"She just went off. How long she sticks with me? Anyhow you are with me now and what danger comes to me while you are with me?"

"Alright. Go on with what you are doing." Viola hissed out heavily.

"George is a rogue. Don't believe him." I said that aloud and am writing it now.

"Your mother is characterless. You are not my daughter." I am writing after saying it loud.

"I think you already wrote it." Viola said.

"I have so many mistresses and so many children through them. They all do claim my properties and you would be left with nothing." I am reading it loud while writing.

Viola is not saying anything but observing me silently.

"It is indeed quite cumbersome." I closed that note book and threw it away. "I am not going to do that anymore." I am saying looking straight into the face of Viola. "What you are thinking Viola?"

"I am thinking about our past. About our childhood. How happily we spent our days together!"

"You are right. So long time has passed." I hissed out heavily. "We indeed enjoyed a lot in those days."

"Nathaniel is the common link to you and me." Looking into my face she said.

"Lucky bastard! He enjoyed us both. He did that to us both." I am saying now. "His death like that upset me a lot. Did not you feel like that?"

"I also became upset hearing about his death Dazzle. But just like you, I too have not developed any sentimental attachment with him. So it has become easier to me to forget about him just like you." After a pause she is saying again "Oh, Dazzle there is a lot and lot I want to talk with you and thank you."

"For what my dear" I smoothly hugged and kissed on her left cheek. "I already said to you never say so to me. Never dare to say that 'thank you' words to me again." Now I am looking angrily into her eyes.

"Oh, Dazzle! How I can remain without saying them to you?" Viola also put her both hands around me and kissed on my right cheek. "There is a sort of happiness in me in expressing myself to you. You not just helped me in all respects but you gave me your good friendship always. How many ordinary girls like me can have a chance I have..."

"Shut up Viola, just stop all this" I am feeling angry now. "It is not just I have been to you but you also...."

"Oh, Dazzle, Dazzle" Viola suddenly hugged me while interrupting me? Why on this day suddenly Viola is becoming emotional like this? "Even you do get angry, I just cannot remain without expressing myself. In fact the death of my parents also did some good to me. It got me a good friend like you."

"This is the extreme Viola. I understood your feelings. If you are really thinking that I am your good friend, just stop now." Hissing out heavily I said.
