A knock on the door. "Let me go get the door." I said. Opening it, it was my mother-in-law. "What does she want now?" I asked myself. "How are you feeling now my dear."she started but Anu just ignored her. "I blinked my eyes in refusal to what he was doing to his mom. She was still her mother no matter what she did."Am now fine mother."he finally replied to her after a long wait for an answer. "I still don't get it, how did this happen to you? I have never witnessed something like that before."maybe she thought Anu didn't know anything about her evil plans. She was shedding crocodile tears before him."I also don't know what had happened to me, mother."he said."Am also wondering why anyone would think of harming Anu. I mean he doesn't have enemies so who could it be?"I said while gazing at her."I only came to check on you and since you are doing well, I will go."she excused herself to go but before she could leave the room, I called for her attention."Mother, why are you in a hurr
When we reached somewhere, we heard someone breathing. "Wait a second. Do you also hear that? It's like someone is finding it hard to breathe. Let's go and have a look."I said.My detective star stopped at the same place but Mom wasn't there."What's wrong with your star. I mean it has stopped moving and mother-in-law isn't here."he was getting terrified about the situation."This could only mean one thing, mother is somewhere close to us though we can't see her.""I still don't understand what you are saying to me.""I have a feeling that my mother is under the ground. That man is so powerful and strong. Maybe he defeated, killed and buried her somewhere."I said."You are getting me scared. Your mother is also powerful, isn't she? So how is it possible?" "My mother is powerful but remember she is just a hex. She is partly human too."I explained."You are right. But what are we going to do now. That man is going to be our king soon and I hope you know the results of that.""Yes I kn
"There are two ways. It is by killing either her husband or daughter. But unfortunately am not visible, am just thin air so I can't be killed."he said."That means we only have one option which is ' killing Artie ' ."Anu said in a worried manner."Are you worried now."I asked him."Of course I am. Any husband out there feels scared and worried when his wife is on her death bed but mine is different. My wife is going to be killed before my eyes."he said as tears ran down his face."Won't you save me?"I asked while wiping down his tears."Of course I won't, saving you would be like sacrificing mother-in-law for my happiness. Am so sorry for now, dear wife. We have to sacrifice you to bring your mother back. I know you also like it this way but don't worry, mother-in-law will somehow find a way to bring you back sooner or later and if she fails, I promise I will find you there so we can start a new life together."he comforted me but I was already sweating, I was imagining how Anu would l
As mother kept looking around, her eyes landed on my dead body somewhere on the ground. "Artie, noooo!"she screamed before running to my body. Maybe Anu thought I had come back because he turned immediately and ran after her but all his hopes were shattered when he saw mother carry my body in her arms and cried pools of tears. The whole situation was getting Anu emotional that he couldn't hold his tears any longer."Why did you do this to me dear."mother cried. Maybe she had lost her mind too."I think we should take her to your house."mother suggested."No mother. We don't have to do that."Anu said."What do you mean by that?""I tried my best to read Artie's mind when she was ready to be attacked. Do you know what I found there?""What was that?""She didn't want my mother to know anything about her death, that's why we can't take her home. At least let's fulfill her last wish."Anu explained."What's else did you find there.""Love."Anu hurried to say."Love! For whom?""For us, es
Anu went back home and never shared the plan with his mother-in-law.Days passed by and Anu's wedding day with Miss Cucu arrived. Anu wasn't happy for it but he had no choice but to dress like a groom since his hopes to be with Artie were crashed. It seems like Noble betrayed him. He just used him for his own benefit.Feeling disappointed and heartbroken, Anu went downstairs where everyone waited impatiently for him to start the ceremony. Anu couldn't believe he was getting remarried. It sounded like a betrayal to his first wife though she wasn't alive anymore."Anu. What's wrong? You look pale on your wedding day, why?"my mom pointed, his former mother-in-law."Why shouldn't I be pale. You know I had vowed to be with only your daughter, Artie. But now she's no more and my mom planned all this behind my back. If I say no to this marriage, our reputation would be ruined. I just don't know what to do." He cried."I know everything. You don't have to explain anything to me."mother said w
Everyone stood up waiting to see whose face was behind the veil. She confidently removed the veil as she said a lot of things without confirming first. When she noticed that everyone was shocked she slowly turned and had a look."How is this possible?"she was shocked too. She couldn't believe I would be back."Are you shocked to see me, mother-in-law?"I asked in a strange way that made me confused."Are you convinced now mother? Am so sorry Miss Cucu and your family. My mother came to your house with a marriage proposal without my consent first. I wasn't prepared for the marriage, I believed that my wife would come back to me one day and that day is today. I hope you would forgive me if possible. It's not my fault. My wife is back and she needs me."he apologized."It's okay dear, don't worry so much."Cucu's parents assured but Cucu still looked disappointed.Everyone hurried to leave the Hall as if they were running away from the ghost. And in no minutes we were the only five remainin
"Thank you so much Artie."Anu smiled the moment he opened his eyes."Don't thank me, my mother deserves all the credits."I said.Yes she deserves it all since she is the one who stopped me from running away. I didn't know I could heal him but because of her, I saved a life."But how was I able to do that? I mean how did he get better this soon and how did you people know that he would get healed if I touch him? "I asked."Ahh.. well.. you see.."mother stuttered. "Your mother is trying to tell you that you are so special, that's it. And yes, you are really special."he said. "I see but when did both of you find out about this?" I was confused."Ah. Yesterday."Anu hurried to say. Maybe he was trying to stop mother from uttering out the truth."Yes. We found out about that yesterday."mother supplemented."Yesterday? What happened yesterday. I only remember stopping this man's wedding. What else happened afterwards that showed you I can do this?" "You are my daughter so I understand you
Anu decided to stay at home till when his mother calms down. This gave me the chance to study him so well. Yes, he was so handsome and charming. I found him attractive that I couldn't focus on my chores, he was attracting all my attention and all I could do was to keep my eyes on him and imagine things. I could imagine life with him as my husband, having kids that will resemble him. I could imagine beyond that, like how my handsome son would attract young ladies as how Anu is doing the same to me."Artie. What are you thinking. It's like you are lost in deep thoughts."Anu pointed one day."Am not thinking. In fact I don't think."I composed myself to lie."How weird! "He smiled. His smile used to steal everything from me, my mind, my reasoning, not forgetting my heart beat. Oh God! This man was driving me crazy. I would even talk to myself, asking myself why am I falling for him but the answers I could get from my heart were also strange. "No Artie, you shouldn't fall for this man, he'
