Chapter 20


Ziya's eyes gleamed with happiness. She looked behind John and exclaimed, “you’re back?!?” John looked around and asked, “who are you talking to?” Ziya said “my friend! She has come back!!”. John turned around to look but couldn't see anyone and "Ziya started talking "you are my best friend right? So remember you should be with me always! If you again go out without informing me then I will never talk to you..." 


John kept looking at his little daughter, Jency came running and hugged John, with tears rolling down her cheeks... “We should do something John, I can't see her behaving this way... What will people think?”. John said “Jency stop crying I will deal with this, you don't worry about Ziya” but Jency kept weeping... John said “Jency look into my eyes”, but she didn't John repeated “Jency look at me”, he lifted her chin and she looked into his eyes; John said, “I promise I will bring Ziya out of this and all I need from you is some patience”. Jency said, “who else would I trust?”. John wiped Jency's tears and said “then listen to me, you stay calm and I will take care of this okay?... Now I will go freshen up and you get me a cup of coffee”, Jency nodded her head and walked into the kitchen and John went into the washroom.


John freshened up and walked into the kitchen, his coffee was ready... He picked his coffee mug and walked into his daughter's room... Liya wished him, John made her sit on his lap and while sipping his coffee he looked at Ziya, she was applying nail polish in the air... Liya screamed, “Ziya if you spill nail polish Mummy will get angry stop doing that”... John said, “that's ok let her play Liya, she is too small she will not understand”. “But daddy these days she’s ignoring me, she doesn't play with me anymore, she is talking to herself and playing alone” replied Liya. “But why do you leave her alone? Ask her to play with you” said, John. Liya replied “I do but she always says "don't you know I am playing with my friend don't disturb me"... John spoke nothing he kept looking at Ziya and Liya ran to the living room saying I will go watch TV... Jency came in sat beside John “Jency take Liya out with you tomorrow” said John. “ where to?” Questioned Jency... “Go somewhere, meet your friend's, take her to a movie, mall, but take her out, I wanna stay alone with Ziya for some time to know what is she up to. only then I can find a solution for this”... “But John,” said Jency… “don't say anything Jency if you trust me to do as I say”, Jency agreed... The night passed both John and Jency couldn't sleep peacefully.


Next morning as decided Jency took Liya out and John was at home with Ziya... “What is my lovely daughter up to?” Asked John for which he did not get any reply... John repeated, “what are you doing Ziya?”. “My friend is telling me stories daddy, I'm listening to her”... John carried Ziya in his arms and said “hmmm you are always playing with your friend... Will you not play with me?” and acted as if he was crying, Ziya immediately looked at the cot and said “you stay here I will play with daddy for some time and then come play with you”... John took her to the living room and as they started playing he asked: “so tell me what is your friend's name?” Ziya looked towards her right and said: “I have promised my friend that I will not tell her name to anyone”... John said, “that's ok.. tell me how does your friend look?”... “She's got really long hair, she is fair,” said little Ziya. John took out his phone and called Charles, he asked Charles to come home immediately with Sandeep... John said “that's nice does your friend study in your school with you? Is she also in the same class as you?” Ziya laughed saying “ayoo daddy my friend is a big girl she comes to school only to see me, she will help me write notes, she will play with me”, John kept playing some puzzle game with her but he was lost in his thoughts.


Within 40 minutes Sandeep and Charles reached home... John asked Ziya to go play in her room and took Sandeep and Charles to his room, “what's the matter? why did you want us to come immediately? Where is Jency?” Sandeep shooted out so many questions... John said “dude, my daughter is in trouble please help me, I don't know what to do I'm stuck, I'm scared” both Charles and Sandeep were clueless... “Who are you talking about John? What happens to Liya? Or is it Ziya?” Asked Charles... “Not Liya. Its Ziya, my little angel is in trouble” replied John. “but she looks okay to me” replied Sandeep “she is not dude, the ghost is troubling her now!” said John... Both his friends were in shock,” what are you saying John?” asked Charles... John said “yes, the ghost is behind my daughter” and he told them the entire story... Sandeep said angrily “This is why I said it's not safe to let the ghost be with you, but you guys never listen to me”... Charles said “I thought it was helping you but if it's troubling the kid we should get rid of it” and they heard Ziya's scream "No no I am scared, plz no"... All three quickly ran into Ziya's room and what they saw was something unbelievable…Ziya was in the air!!! screaming and laughing John grabbed Ziya’s hand, pulled her down and held her tight in his arms... With tears in his eyes, he wailed “why the hell are you behind my daughter? get out of my house, my family, Leave us alone, please!. Sandeep and Charles consoled him and Charles said “There's no point in waiting anymore” he took out Swamiji's card from his wallet and dialed the number.
