Born Again

The matter of discussion at the moment was whether Igor"s mother, Nikita, could be taken into confidence. Since Mira, Tania"s paternal grand mother had become quite friendly with Nikita, Tania"s maternal grand mother, she was of the opinion that they could take her into confidence and ask her about her son Igor.

Mr Dinesh Sharma, Tania"s paternal grandfather, opined that it would not be easy as they all did not know whether she would cooperate or not.

He had voiced his concern about not knowing what made Igor tick. The only insight they had about him was obtained during the First two Past life Regression Therapy sessions That time they had got to know that Igor had visited his sister, Tania"s mother, before Tania was born and had threatened the entire family.

Dada ji ( Tania"s paternal grandfather) asked Tania, if Igor ( Tania"s Mama ji) had visited her father before her father and mother had died in the car accident. If she could remember anything? Whether he had left a warning message etc.?

"Yes, I think something did happen." Tania replied looking perplexed. "She further added , "Actually, I did not notice anything amiss before their accident. But, now, I feel something did happen."

"Remember, when we returned home after the first session and went straight to the library!"

Dada ji, you and Uncle Igor started playing chess. I watched you for some time and got bored."

"Yes, Yes, I do remember, then you took a comic book from a shelf and started reading it."

"Exactly! But as I looked closely at the comic book, I found that it was an old one that belonged to me and wondered what it was doing here on the shelf ?"

"I took it off the shelf, walked back to the sofa and started to read it. I saw that a few of the words on each page had been encircled. I thought it was a mystery solving case that father had made for me."

"So, I got a pen from the pen stand and started to write the encircled words as I read the comic book."

"By the time I finished the comic book, I had all the word written down. I folded the paper and stuffed it in the fold of my mobile, to solve it later in my room after dinner. But, I never got the chance to do so till today."

"Here is the paper with the encircled words and below it are the words in sentence form. Please read what it says." while saying this Tania handed over the paper to her Dada ji.

Dada ji took the paper and started to read the sentences that was written below.

The words read as follows:-

"Tania, Beta do not trust your Igor Uncle. He is a notorious character and is after our property. He visited your mother when you were to be born and threatened your mother by calling her and her unborn child names. He threatened to kill everyone in our family. Your mother never told me. He visited me a few days ago and threatened me too. He seems to have a grudge as to why your mother had married a person from another religion, another country and another culture. Try to contact your paternal grandfather, your Dada ji, who will help you."

After reading the encoded message Dada ji had tears in his eyes. He handed the piece of paper to Mira, his wife and started wiping his tears with a handkerchief he pulled out of the pocket of his kurta.

Dadi ji took the piece of paper and after she had read it, she too had tears in her eyes. Soon she was sobbing for her lost son and her daughter-in-law. Dada ji, quietly offered her his handkerchief.

Tania was looking in awe at both her grandparents.

"It is alright, Dada ji and Dadi ji, G.o.d wanted you here and he sent you both to me before I could find this coded message."

"Father must have thought Igor Uncle was just threatening the family and would not do anything, that is why father had placed the message in a comic book in this coded manner, just in case he was proved wrong, I would have the warning."

"Yes, Beta, you are right. Just see what hate can do to a person. This message does not prove that Igor had planned the car accident of your parents."

"A thought that is at the back of my mind is why he did not try to get rid of Tania, also" asked Tania"s Dadi ji.

"Good question, I think he must have thought the car accident way to get rid of his sister and brother-in-law would be better as they both were doctors in a reputed hospital and medical college. Such a method of death would be beyond suspicion."

"As far as Tania is concerned, well, she is his niece, and he would be in a position to get rid of her after he usurped her property etc."

"What a crafty and evil minded person he is." opined Dadi ji.

"Yes, you are right. But we must remember the fact that he has been instrumental in Tania"s death in her past life and we need to get to the bottom of the reason as to why he is doing this." Responded Dada ji.

"Well, it is getting late. I think we need to call it a day. Tania Beta, you need to sleep. Your Uncle will realize that something is amiss with the CCTV camera. He will not visit your room tonight. But he will try to do so tomorrow in your absence."

"So early tomorrow morning I will come and fix a few b.o.o.by traps for him to hurt himself so that he can be immobilized for a few days."

"I was in the army for a short while and I know what to do to make him stay in bed for a few days and keep him out of mischief."

"Tania, try to call Sanya, the girl who visited you the first time in your dreams, so that she comes to the surface when we go for your PLR therapy session day after tomorrow."

Good night was said and thereafter,Dada ji lead Tania to her room and bid her good night.
