Part 11

At the clinic, 3 pm.

" Hi tejo . Kaisi ho . Have a seat"  the middle aged doctor's polite voice welcomed her to a chair opposite his desk.

" So kaise ana hua. Heard u received best teacher's title last year. Mrs. Soni told me during her visit to my clinic with her ill mother in law " 

Tejo tried to calm herself . She was coming near to her answers. This was the man who could help her. 

" Irrk , all credit goes to u sir, u taught me well". 

He smiled widely.

" U were a good student". 

She felt a little nervous. He noticed instantly.

" Anything bothering u dear. Mujhey betau. What can i do for u ". 

She started crying and he stood up at once moving towards her patting her back , trying to console .

" It's ok. Speak up. U will feel lighter".

She spilled the details of the incident on Saturday nite followed by missing the four days of her life. She even showed him the bruises on her arm, neck and leg. 

Dr. Sidhu did some tests after listening to Tejo's puzzling statement. 

She waited anxiously for few minutes as he went through the details of the tests. 

" U are perfectly fine, tejo".

" Am i suffering from partial memory loss due to trauma?" She enquired, confused.

He replied politely ,

" No, u didn't encounter with any accident or violence that nite that could have triggered a trauma in ur brain. So no question of partial memory loss but there is something that could have happened that particular time which explained your losing the touch of events the following days". 

" What?" She was desperate to find out . 

" Do u believe in supernatural " he enquired anxiously.

She was shocked . " What?"

He continued slowly

" Listen very calmly tejo " . 

She was all ears as her pulses raised. She was finally getting to the answer.

" U were possessed by a spirit. It took charge of ur body , mind and emotions" 

Tejo freaked out almost slipping from her seat but fortunately he held her tightly from dropping to the floor 

" Nurse , pls get me a glass of water". He instructed his staff.

Five minutes later.

She took a few deep breath as per the psychiatrist's instructions after drinking some water. She had a panic attack.

As she became normal and calmer, he explained to her that the good and evil prevailed on mother Earth. 

She heard a woman's whisper and then was knocked out of her senses. That's the only reasonable explanation that she was possessed. The reasons can be found out through hypnotism strategies but it would create more stress for her later. She might even get nightmares.

He advised her to relax and give herself some time. She was in her normal self . It meant that the soul left her body with no intentions of harming her. She was safe. 

He prescribed some medications to release her stress and helped her to sleep well. 

She thanked the doctor and pleaded to keep the matter confidential. Her family shouldn't find out. He knew her parents well. He and rupi were ex schoolmates. 

He assured her that patient's records were confidential. 

An hour and a half later 

As she stepped into the front porch of her house, she was surprised to see a police jeep . She ran towards the living room to check the details.

Sati was unconscious while Dolly was crying badly and trying to wake her. Biji suffered heart attack and was taken to the hospital immediately by their kind neighbour , Mr  Inder Singh who just returned from town after visiting his ill mother. Abhiraj and Harman accompanied him. 

God ! What happened?? She panicked and rushed forward to check on her mum. 

" Mummy kya hua. Taiji kya hua!  She screamed. 

Dolly couldn't speak. Sati suffered a panic attack. Tejo rushed to the kitchen , returning with a jar of water. Sprinkled on her mum's face a few times till she regained consciousness.

Sati hugged tejo tightly stating 

" Jasmin nehin rehi" 

Apparently , the police discovered her dupatta covered with blood stains around a cliff area . . Perhaps she was murdered and thrown off from the high point. She was involved in a fraud business of trapping rich men and it could have been a foul play. Someone killed her. They were still searching for her body. 

Sweety made a police report on Tuesday evening when she realised that jasmin was not attending to her phone calls and didn't meet up with her for their lunch appointment. She knew that Jasmin was involved in illegal activity and could sense trouble.

The inspector executed a search mission and found some evidence related to jasmin. Her blood covered dupatta and her wallet. 

Her id card and driving license were disclosed to the family. Sati recognized the dupatta. 

Rupi sat at one corner in silence trying to control his emotions of losing his younger daughter. It was shocking and unbelievable. Part of him was relieved that she was gone. 

Was Jasmin really dead??

Was it Mihika's trick??

Where was Jasmin??
