It was 4 o'clock in the morning, Rishi had woken up around 3 o'clock and ever since he woke up, his eyes were only on the clock.

Manpreet: Bhai...aaj aagar sachme unn pandit ji ne Tanu ki Atma ko bula liya toh?

Rishi: vo Tanu ki Atma ko bula he nahi payege kyu aisa kuch exist he nahi karta hai. I am sure aj vo aur unke bhagwan dono galat sabit ho jayege.

Raj: nahi Rishi Puttar, uss Upar wale ki Takat par shak mat kar vo chahe toh pal mein sab kuch khatam kar de aur vo chahe toh maut ka bhi rukh mod de.

Rishi: toh phir meri Tanu ke maut ke waqt unhone Maut ka rukh kyu nahi Moda? Ye sab bakwas hai, bas ek dhokha hai.

Aahana: Lekin Rishi aagar tum galat sabit huee aur Dee ki atma sachmein aagie toh tum kya karoge?

Rishi: Toh yaa toh Tanu ko yahi rok luga ya phir uske saath chala jauga.

All got worried.

Rishi again looked at his watch.

Rishi: 4:30 ho rahe hai aur vo Pandit ab tak nahi aye. Kis mu se aate? Vo bhi jante hai ki vo Tanu ko wapas nahi laa sakte.

Suddenly the bell rang of the house and Smilee opened it.

It was the same bramhin with two people one of which was Katyani Devi and the other was a man with wider beards and moustache.
They entered.

Rishi got angery finding Katyani Devi there but she smiled at him and kept her hand on his head.

Katyani: Salon pehele Maa Kaali ne hum dono ko milaya tha taaki mai tujhe aur teri Tanu ko mila saku, aaj phir Maa Kaali ne hume milaya hai taaki tujhe mai teri Tanu ke hone ka ehsaas dila saku.

Rishi: Bakwas...aisa kuch nahi hoga.

The other man who was with them spoke probably who was the other bramhin.

Man: Tu iss waqt dard mein hai isiliye tu ye sab bol Raha hai, ek baar Tanu ki aatma ayegi tab tu khud manega Maa Kali ko bhi aur unki Mahima ko bhi.

Bramhin: ye vo hai vo Tanu ki Atma ko bulayege.

Rishi: Toh phir khade kyu hai? Bulaiye Tanu ki Atma ko.

Bramhin2: bilkul par yaad rahe, jab tak Pooja chal rahi hai tum yaha se nahi jaa sakte.

Rano: par Tanu ko bulane keliye Rishi ki kya zaroorat hai?

Katyani: Zarurat hai, Tanu aur Rishi Janmo-janmantar ke saathi hai, Rishi aur Tanu ki aatma ek dusre se Judi huee hai.

Rishi: sirf baate he karenge ya vo bhi karenge Jo karne aye hai? Mai iss Living room se bahar nahi jauga...mai bhi toh dekhu, aj Jeet kiski hoti hai, mere sach ki ya apke jhooth ki.

The Bramhin sat down where already the arrangements was been made as by the family as instructed by the Bramhin.
The hawan started Rishi was seated infront of the Hawan kund with Stern eyes and expressionless face.
The pandit burnt the fire and started enchanting the mantras taking name of Tanu and Some times Rishi too.

Slowly slowly, time was passing it was now 5:30 and still no sign of Tanu was seen there, Rishi was now fully sure that these all three were just here with the intention of wasting his time and playing with his emotions until...








...he heard her voice calling him "Rishi!"

He went shocked and all other family members too. The Two Bramhin and Katyani Devi smiled.

Rishi got up from the place where he was seated till now.

"T..Tanu!", he whispered while stammering.
