The only thing which possessed him was the spirit of his love because spirits never died they were immortal just like his love.
-Meglos

The italic text in this chapter is one of the Hindu devotional hymn in praise of lord  Hanuman.

The moment my lips met hers I could feel her getting freeze under me. My hold on her body loosened while my lips moved around her. I traveled one of my hands around her waist, caressing it softly I pinched her white milky skin making her gasp in the kiss.

Taking advantage of the moment i slipped my tongue in her mouth. Our lips crashed like waves against each other as I sucked and nibbled on her lips. Happiness brewed inside my heart when I find her hands circling around my neck, as the kiss progressed her hold tightened around me.

And that was the moment I knew she was mine the same way I was hers. And it was going to be us till eternity.

After sometime I left her lips, we both were out of breathe. She looked like a goddess lying under me with red hues covering her cheeks, her lips swollen and glossy with our mixed Saliva. Her eyes were hazy as they bored in mine. I smiled caressing her cheek softly making her close her eyes in silence.

She clutched my kurta tightly as I laid her beside me. She nudged her head in my chest warming her body with mine. It was Like she was feeling peace in my hold and that made me proud of myself. My ego was on the highest layer out of the universe.

I held her securely in my arms removing her veil out of her body, I started playing with her hair. She had tight hold on my kurta and after sometime I felt that the hold meant something else. I tilted my head a little to gaze at her. She had deep worry lines on her forehead. I moved fingers to her forehead massaging her forehead softly. She flickered her eyes at me making me smile at her.

"What's wrong?" I asked her. She sighed pressing her forehead on my chest for few minutes. Getting out of hold she sat near me on the bed, her legs folded criss cross. Her hand was still in mine, her eyes fixed on me.

"Whatever we have, whatever you do since you saw me and whatever I feel for you. Is that wrong?" She said pressing my hand softly. She had that accusing look on her face as If I was the biggest criminal out there. She looked fierce like a dagger and I loved every part of it.

"You said you wanted to paint me. But that canvas is lying somewhere in your room I don't even know about its completion.  Then you always stop me wherever you see me. You are kind of obsessed with me and this only proves one thing. " She whispered stealing little glances of me. I raised an eyebrow at her ushering her to continue.

"What does it prove?" I whispered turning around, adjusting my weight on my left side. She smiled hesitatingly looking around the room.

"You are obsessed because you are possessed " She whispered her eyes narrowed at me.  Her accusing gaze lingered on me longer than I expected. Her eyes roamed around my body as if she was suspecting something.

What does she mean by possessed?

"What do you mean that I am  possessed?" I asked her. She slapped her hand on her forehead a disappointed expression resting on her face.

"Possessed like there's someone else controlling you?" She said making me mirror her widened eyes.

Who the hell was controlling me? Do I look like someone who can be controlled?

I don't even change my mind even if someone is dying.

"No one can control me. You think someone like me can be controlled? " I asked her standing on her little bed. She rolled her eyes sitting comfortably on the bed.

"You clearly look you are possessed. If you were not possessed you won't be behaving like this?" She said her hand moving up and down looking at me.

Oh! She was talking about me standing on the bed.

"Standing on the bed does not mean I am possessed. You call me mountain man? Can a mountain be controlled. It's impossible! " I exclaimed stomping the feet on the bed. The bed shook hard making her gasp in fright.

She jumped down of the bed and I stomped the bed again. A scream left her mouth making me look at her. I was so done with this woman. Does she look I was some stupid man to be possessed.

"The ghost is trying to over power you. Oh my god. " She shrieked moving away from the bed. I huffed shaking my head. This woman will be death of me.

"There's no ghost lekha. I am totally fine, this is me Meglos" I said stepping down the bed. She jumped two steps behind making me roll my eyes for the tenth time this night.

Here, I entered this chamber to confess my love to her. And this woman was making me loose my brain.

"Lekha, if I have a ghost controlling me then why would I kiss you?" I tried explaining her. She shrieked hard clutching her stomach running near the window. She looked scared of me. God have mercy on me what in the Clowning this is.

"That ghost kissed me. That ghost is making you do things. Everything you feel is not you feeling that, he is making you feel that. Everything you do is powered by him. And the effect of him controlling you got me entangled with you too. Your ghost made me feel Lust that I why kissed you. You are not in your sense he is controlling you" she said making me dream about slamming my head on the near by wall.

"What if the ghost is a woman?" I said smiling painfully at my woman.  She narrowed her eyes her mouth opened like a fish the shock evident on her face.

"Then you kissed a woman. " I said rubbing my cheeks making her stiffle a cry out of her mouth.

"You are right. I also heard a tingling sounds more like someone was wearing anklets. It's a woman. I have heard women are too bold and evil when they are in spirit form. You are clearly possessed by a woman and she is jealous of me. " She said walking towards me, she had forgotten that I was possessed.

"Why should she be jealous of you?" I asked pressing my smirk behind. This was getting funny now. And I was slowly starting to enjoy it.

"Because I am a woman. That too beautiful and alive.  " She said waving her hands in different directions. I nodded at her making her continue with her rant.

"Woman are always jealous of other woman who match their interests. In my Asaka when a man used to look at a certain woman other ladies would get so jealous of that woman. Because men always look at women who are beautiful, submissive and of high rank. "

The thought  of someone looking at her crossed my mind and immediately pulled her towards me. I was jealous, she was mine and only mine.

"जय हनुमान ज्ञान गुन सागर।
जय कपीस तिहुं लोक उजागर।।
रामदूत अतुलित बल धामा।
अंजनि-पुत्र पवनसुत नामा।।
महाबीर बिक्रम बजरंगी।
कुमति निवार सुमति के संगी।। - "

She started chanting like a mad woman trying to break through of my hold. I could not understand a single sentence she was uttering. It looked like she was recited a song. The determination and fear on her face kept rising each passing second.

"What are you doing?" I tried to ask her. But she clutched both of my cheeks with her hands holding my face steady in one place. Her firm hold on my cheek made my lips turn into a pout. My eyes widened in confusion looking at her. She closed her eyes and started chanting the song again.

 "कंचन बरन बिराज सुबेसा।
कानन कुंडल कुंचित केसा।।
हाथ बज्र औ ध्वजा बिराजै।
कांधे मूंज जनेऊ साजै।
संकर सुवन केसरीनंदन।
तेज प्रताप महा जग बन्दन।
विद्यावान गुनी अति चातुर।
राम काज करिबे को आतुर।।
प्रभु चरित्र सुनिबे को रसिया।
राम लखन सीता मन बसिया।।
सूक्ष्म रूप धरि सियहिं दिखावा "

"Lekha, lekha what are you doing ?" I tried asking her. But she was too stubborn and immersed in completing her song that she totally ignored it.  I tried to break through of her hold only to make her tightened her hands around my cheek.

I did crave for her touch but this was not the scenario i imagined.

"
बिकट रूप धरि लंक जरावा।।
भीम रूप धरि असुर संहारे।
रामचंद्र के काज संवारे।।
लाय सजीवन लखन जियाये।
श्रीरघुबीर हरषि उर लाये।।
रघुपति कीन्ही बहुत बड़ाई।
तुम मम प्रिय भरतहि सम भाई।।
सहस बदन तुम्हरो जस गावैं।
अस कहि श्रीपति कंठ लगावैं।।
सनकादिक ब्रह्मादि मुनीसा।
नारद सारद सहित अहीसा।।
जम कुबेर दिगपाल जहां ते।
कबि कोबिद कहि सके कहां ते।।
तुम उपकार सुग्रीवहिं कीन्हा।
राम मिलाय राज पद दीन्हा।।
तुम्हरो मंत्र बिभीषन माना।
लंकेस्वर भए सब जग जाना।।
जुग सहस्र जोजन पर भानू।
लील्यो ताहि मधुर फल जानू।
प्रभु मुद्रिका मेलि मुख माहीं।
जलधि लांघि गये अचरज नाहीं।।
"

Lekha opened her eyes after completing the song till then I was rotten to hell. My back was aching for being continously bent at her level while my cheeks hurted due to the continuous pout i was portraying.

I breathed hard trying to gain some life back only for this woman to turn my face left and right continously. I closed my eyes blankly holding her wrists tightly I stopped her movement.

"Lekha I am not possessed please let me live" I pleaded to her. She smiled patting my cheek before moving away.

"Huh! I knew this will work. Hanuman chalisa always work. This is the strongest mantra in Hinduism. When someone is possessed hanuman chalisa makes the ghost run away. I knew why she was here for me. These women spirits get inside unmarried men and then get into other women. But I saved you from her and myself too. " She smiled cutely fluttering her eyebrows at me. I smiled back kissing her cheek, she screamed moving back holding her cheek.

"She didn't go away. Hanuman chalisa did not work " she cried wiping her cheek continously. I laughed shaking my head at her.

"My love, maybe I am possessed by you. And I would allow you only you to possess me, control me and do anything you want to do with me " I winked making her frown at me. She pushed me back making me laugh harder.

Suddenly her eyes widened again, her ears perking up. She was trying to hear something.

"There it is again. The sound of Anklets " She whispered terrified. I rolled my eyes at this woman pulling her towards the bed with me. She was about to run away when I strongly made her sit on the bed.

I crouched down near the bed, feathering her legs from the top of her skirt slowly. She shuddered timidly her eyes following the movement of my fingers.

"The sound of Anklets was coming from me -"

"You are possessed I WAS RIGHT" She stood frantically while I pushed her back again. This woman was high on something tonight.

"Because of this, you stubborn woman" I forced out waving the gold Anklets at her. Her eyes twinkled looking at the anklets making me smile in return.

I held her left foot securely in my hand, massaging her feet for few seconds I gazed warmly at her. She had her eyes casted down, a blush coating her cheeks. I pressed her thumb slowly making her gasp in return. I laughed untangling her old anklets and clasping the new one around her ankle repeating the same process on her other ankle.

"My beautiful rose I am not possessed by a spirit of a woman, the only woman who has possessed me is you, a living human. Maybe that is why hanuman chalisa didn't work on me. Because here the problem is you, my little love. And now with these anklets ringing around as you walk you can put some music into my life while you possess me for the remaining life this meglos has " I whispered placing my chin on one her thighs. She scrunched her eyebrows in confusion our hands entwined together.

I placed a soft kiss on her knuckles, she blushed looking down on her lap, but sadly I was on her lap.

"And for your another issue that unmarried men do not visit unmarried women's room. I have a better solution. " I suggested wriggling my eyebrows at her. 

"You won't visit me from now on" She answered a hint of sadness lurking in her voice.

"I am planning to do that yes.-" her eyes widened in fear making my heart jump in excitement. My woman was reciprocating my feelings and i couldn't be happier.

"By permanently shifting you in my life, in my chambers as my wife.  So my little rose, will you marry me?" Her eyes turned moist, tears brimming in those memorizing vessels as she looked at me.

"I want you to be mine forever. This past ten months the only one thought I had on my mind was you, I started my day with you and ended it with you. There were so many things I wanted to tell you but everytime I transfered them on the paper I couldn't put the courage to send it to you. There are many letters still lying in my room which I wanted to give you. There were many scenarios I dreamed which could make me confess my love to you but look at it I did it in most basic way. Not that it matter, but let me tell you this lekha, I am obsessed with you, possessed with you, in love with you and to make you mine I would do anything. " I was determined that I would not fail tonight.

Women need commitment and I was ready to give my woman that. I was ready to roam behind her for miles to make her agree to My proposal. But Lekha was mine and i was here's.

"But Tani is -" She wiped her tears clutching my hands tightly in hers.

"Tani is searching grooms for me. She is hell bent in getting me married as soon as possible. I cannot break her heart. " she cried shaking her head at her dilemma.

I breathed slowly taking her in my arms. She wrapped her arms around me, the hold was tighter as if she was scared of me running away.

"This feels nice " i said nuzzling my head in her neck. She stifffened in my hold when the realization hit her. Pushing me away she stood few distance away from me.

"Lekha, do you want to marry me?" I asked her. She bobbed her head like a doll.

"Yes i do. Thats the best solution. I thought about this too much first i tried to coax you to change your mind that you should leave me alone because you are warrior and i am a maid but you clearly won't. So you are the perfect groom for me "

I clapped enthusiastically hearing those words come out of her mouth. I puffed my chest in pride feeling my ego boost inside me. What was lacking in me that she would reject me! I was the perfect man. The most handsome and intelligent man in this whole palace.

  "I feel happiness radiating in my body after hearing that I am perfect " she smiled nodding playing with her skirt. I felt her moving her legs a little too much frequently trying to hear the anklets bells. That made my ego boost at the highest peak.

"Well you are perfect because you live in this palace and if I marry you I can forever stay with Tani, you know I love her so much"

And I felt something break inside me. The mountain of my ego bursted in a second.

"But how will we make her agree for our marriage?"

"I will ask my friend for your hand. You do not need to worry about it " I said placing a kiss on her forehead.
