"WHAT do you want from

me?" I asked the ghost inside me with great despair.

"I want your life. Sacrifice

yourself for disturbing my path. It is just a PAYBACK for rubbing in the wrong

side with me!" The ghost inside my body replied to me in a very

intimidating voice, which started to send shivers down my spine.

All of sudden things around

me started to spin, my room door and the windows started to bang back and forth.

I was shivering to death and felt very regretful for not listening to my family

and for trapping myself in this horrible mess.

"How long do you think

you can escape death, the day i suppress your soul will be the last day of this

body." ‘I cannot shy out just because of a mere thing inside me and I’m never

going to let you succeed that easily.' Thinking about this made me laugh like

mad woman. My sister Riya who heard all these commotion came in to check if I

was fine. However, looking at me in such situation scared her, so she scooted

down to call my mom. By the time, she could drag my mom all the way to the room

things got back to square one and I was drifted to sleep. Spirits at times can

be useful to clean your room into a brand new place.

My entire family was present

by now in our living room. It is not because of the commotion i created few

hours but that my grandparents sensed something unusual in me.

"Tanya darling how are

feeling these days? Are things going in their usual...?” My grandpa asked and rest

was waiting for my reply very eagerly.” In which way do I look abnormal to you?"

I replied back with quiet some attitude due to temperament after talking to the

ghost."No sweetie it is just that grandpa was a little worried about you

in these few days...also that my prayers are little disturbed in these days...so

we got overwhelmed.” My grandma said with tears in her eyes. Right after

grandma finished, dad spoke without any gap, “We understand if you are not

willing to tell us now." dad was talking in a soothing way so that I will

not get offended. "Enough, let her have some rest now, we can talk

later." Saying this mom dragged me to my room, but I halted halfway and

came back to the living room to tell everybody "I AM POSSESSED!!!!!”

Hearing me telling this everybody got shocked.

Will i be able to battle against this spirit by myself???What if i destroy others in this mean time???? Will telling everybody bring back glory to my life?????

“Hmm….it’s

already 5:30AM.” I said after stopping the alarm clock. Yes, I wake up at half

past five that is what my grandparents call discipline. After waking up, I went

to the rooftop for doing some workout, then few yogasanas and meditation. The

view of the sky at this time is the best and I enjoy watching it. At nearly 6:45AM,

I went back to my room, brushed my teeth, and had a shower. Just then, my

sister Riya came in yelling at me “Tami! When will you stop using my shower gel?

Can’t you use your own things to shower or is that you lack anything???” I knew

this would happen the time I took her gel. It is not something new for us to

fight over petty things; after all, she got sense in choosing good flavor. Riya

is again pissed over this dumb gel, “Uh come on baby we are sisters. What is

the matter in sharing a shower gel? Not like, I used your boyfriend! > <  ““Chit! I wish we were not sisters.”

Riya is trying hard to show disgust on her but fail miserably. “Ouch! That

hurts.” I held the left side of my chest dramatically to fake pain. “Come on

Tami as though you got hurt by me.” Saying this she gave a tight slap over my

heart. “Ahh!!! What kind of sister are you? Now that really hurts.” I was

rubbing my sore chest all the way to the dining room. While suddenly, my

grandpa appeared in front me from in thin air. “What time is it Tami darling?” I

think this old man has some kind of tracker placed in me, whenever I am alone

he kills me stupid and gives sh***y lectures. What kind of karma did I do in my

previous life to receive these kinds of punishments in this life? “Umm…. a quarter

to eight…...”

“Brilliant,

then isn’t it already morning?”

“Of course…oops,

GOOD MORNING THATHA!”

“Kids these

days have no discipline at all. Especially you are a girl, discipline is necessary.

In those days, when I was studying in my school, students were given beating if

they don’t wish the teachers or any elders.”

“Then isn’t that

called child abuse?” I mumbled.

“See, kids

of this generation only know to ask such stupid question. We respected our

teachers, there also is a saying ‘teachers are god’, but look at you youngsters

do not even know what respect is. I do not know what will happen if you get

married like this. What will your in-laws think of us? This may even spoil the

family’s reputation and mine for being the head of the family…………………….”

‘What did I do

now? I did not wish immediately. Why is he talking about respect, family

reputation and all those bul8888t…...when would life be the way I wish it to

be. I hate being stereotypical’ While thinking all these I saw my dad entering.

Without any second thought, I asked my dad, “Appa what is the time now?”My

grandpa got back to his senses.

“Oh it will

get late if you don’t have breakfast now Tami.” Grandpa said slowly realizing

the time. I ran far away from him what if he calls me back to give another

lecture and ‘Thank god for sending dad on the right time, else my eardrums

would get clotted with blood.’ Thinking this I went inside the kitchen.

“Amma, where

is my food? Get it here quickly.”

“Children of

your age are cooking their own breakfast. Look at you grown up girl still

behaving like small kid. Can’t you at least get it from the island? Athai (referring

mother in law) enough of spoiling these two girls.”

“Come on Maha,

my two granddaughters are still like babies. I am happy to do their basic

necessities.”

“As you wish

athai. Hope their future in-laws are like you.”

“Amma,

enough. Patti I will do my work by myself in future so that amma will stop

spouting nonsense.” Mom flicked my forehead for talking a lot and that is when

Riya came in, “Hey jumbo it is already fifteen minutes past eight and you are

still eating like pig.” Since it is weekend, only a few classes have working

day and not the entire school.

“Oh my god! Bye

amma, appa, patti, thatha, Riya, walls, doors, windows...”

“Tami finish

telling your prayer only then you can go.” Mom got me from behind.

“Here Tami

have the Prasad.” Grandma slightly rubbed a white powder on my forehead,

believing that can protect me from evil things around me. After everything, I hurriedly

went to school reaching just on time.

WHAT THEY CALL IS SPIRIT BUT I CALL IT SMOKE.
