the hidden secret

Sitting on her grandmother's lap Rahi looked at her mother with teary eyes and said timidly,"Sorry mama." Anita looked at her daughter and then looked at her mother-in-law with a fear in her eyes. Namita asked Anita,"You knew about her abilities?" Anita nodded her head up and down slowly as yes.

Namita put down Rahi from her lap and asked her softly,"Rahi beta, why didn't you say anything to me about this?" Rahi looked at her mother and then her grandmother. She was about to cry. Her grandmother hugged her and said,"No, no, my dear. Don't cry. I wasn't scolding you. I just want to know why you didn't say anything to us."

Rahi looked up and said,"I was afraid. I was afraid that no-one will love me again if I tell them about it. Sorry grandma."

Namita patted her back and said,"How can someone hate my lovely Rahi? I will scold them if they hate you. Now tell me when did you start to have this kind of vision?"

Rahi asked her while wiping her eyes,"What is a vision grandma?"

Namita said,"When you can see something in your dream and that incident is actually true then that is called a vision. Now tell me about it."

Rahi started to tell her about the secret that should have been hidden. "Grandma do you remember my last birthday?"

"Yes."

"Hum. In the afternoon when I was alone in the backyard I saw a little girl with some flowers in her hand. She was staring at me. And went to her and asked her who she is! Because that was the first time I saw her in our house. She told me she stayed here before me and she wished me a happy birthday and gifted me the flowers."

With fear and pain in her eyes Namita asked,"Do you remember her appearance?"

Rahi was going to continue but someone knocked on the door. From the other side of the door someone asked,"Can I join now?" Namita said,"Hum, come in." Arjo came into the room. He sat down on the bed beside Rahi and asked,"Why are you two standing there? Come and sit with us." Rahi's parents sat on the nearby couch.

Arjo asked Namita,"Will you please enlighten me with some details about what is happening here?"

Namita told him everything. He went silent. Then patted her dear granddaughter's head and said,"Rai, it's ok dear. I know I can't understand how much pain you have endured. But believe me your grandpa believes you."

Aniruddha was getting irritated by all of this. "How can you two just spoil her like this? She is making stories and you are believing it. Come on maa and you also papa, don't encourage her to make stories like this."

Namita looked at her son calmly and then coldly said,"Do you remember the time when you wanted to marry Anita? You were hesitating to tell us but I went to her house with your marriage proposal and you were surprised. How do you think I knew that? When you never told anyone about her.!"

Rahi's father went shocked. Then Namita said,"Rahi is not the first girl in this house to have these abilities. In my family my mother also had these abilities. And I heard that in every generation the firstborn girl always had these kinds of abilities."

Rahi's father and mother were shocked after they knew the secret. Arjo said,"I also knew about your mother's ability. But we never shared it with others. Actually every girl who had these abilities all of them lost their powers after the age of 55. But we don't know why and how!"

Namita cupped Rahi's face with her two hands and said,"Don't worry Rahi. I will teach you how you can control these powers by medications. As for today now you should rest. It was a long day for all of us."
