Commander In Action- 2

Tanveer and Arun gets ready and reach the deck for the morning parade, then after breakfast they get the cleaning job again, both of them were engaged in cleaning, when suddenly Arun shouts "Dear Tanveer, look at that shark's younger sister Dolphin, look how everyone is jumping in the herd over there, what a beautiful scene," Arun shows Tanveer with his finger pointing at their herd. Tanveer is also very happy seeing this picturesque scene.

Slowly the day passes and their work was also over, both of them were resting in their cabins after taking a shower.

As the evening falls, their gathering gathers again, after which both of them head towards the dining hall.

There was still a lot of time to eat, so everyone was enjoying themselves sitting at the table, some were playing a game of cards, some were reading books, some were busy in talking, some were playing the game of antakshari.

Tannu and Arun put their pictures on the empty chairs.

Some people were talking about something special in themselves, on seeing Arun and Tanveer, they became silent, Arun asked them curiously, "Listen , what is the matter, brothers, why did you went silent as soon as we both came, tell us so, what's up", Arun had a look of surprise on his face.

One of them replied "Nothing special, it's about Ajit, just yesterday the cook of our ship who is Ajit's neighbor in real life was telling, since few days Ajit's behavior is not right, that cook Banwari's cabin is next to Ajith's on this ship, he says that sometimes in the night there are scary sounds from outside the cabin, it seems as if someone walks outside the lobby with a growl", he says.

It was happening that his companion sitting next to him, interrupting him in the middle, said

"Don't tell me what happened yesterday, what happened last night", he said very curiously.

The story teller further told

"Yesterday after midnight, Banwari went outside to smoke a cigarette on the deck due to lack of sleep, he was still smoking a cigarette standing there comfortably that suddenly someone put his hand on his shoulder, Banwari's condition worsened due to fear,

Shocked by someone's sudden hand on his back, before he looked back to see who it was, the unknown man asked for a cigarette in English, Banwari took out the box from his overcoat and without backing towards him Seeing it extended, that unknown person told him "Commander needs a match or lighter," Banwari removed it and gave it, that unknown person came forward from behind Banwari and stood, Banwari's breath was stuck, seeing that person, he was none other than Ajit working in the luggage department of the ship, Banwari says that his gestures and expressions were completely changed, his face had turned pale white and the eyeballs of his eyes were shining red light, it seemed that some spiritual force had taken possession of his body, Ajit was behaving very strangely,

His words seemed as if an Englishman had taken control of his body, after some time he fainted there, Banwari picked him up, carried him to his cabin and laid him on the bed, so far in the journey of his ship.

For the first time in years of experience, such an anecdote is being heard", he concludes his point with amazement.

Tanveer and Arun were a little nervous at first hearing this story, but then Tanveer laughed and said "Oh nothing brothers, Ajit might have a little more workload, so he must have started doing such strange things, sometimes due to putting more pressure on the mind.

There are more stories of such mental stress in which the personality of a person sometimes completely changes and one such part of his personality was seen by Banwari yesterday, otherwise, in today's era, there is a ghost somewhere, how far is the world.

It has increased, you people are educated and do such things", Tanveer objected and skillfully lied to them.

Then Arun also speaks, "How is Ajit's condition now, showed the doctor whether or not", Arun also asks Tanveer, supporting him in the lie.

A gentleman sitting at that table says, "Now there is no such thing as danger, Banwari had called the doctor in the night itself, he said after examination that Ajit has a lot of weakness, due to which he had fainted, his body too

He was getting hot, so he has also been given medicine for fever, due to which the captain has also given him leave till he gets better due to sleep throughout the day, now the work of luggage department is being handled by Kishore.

The man explained everything in detail and said.

At this the dinner bell of the dining hall rang, which could be heard in every cabin of the ship, so that everyone would be present in the dining hall to eat.

As soon as the captain arrives, almost all the crew of the ship come to the dining hall.

After the captain's plate is installed, everyone queues up to take food and starts eating while sitting at the table.

At the end of dinner, Tannu and Arun go out on the deck for a short walk, standing on the right side of the ship enjoying the beautiful view of the night covering the sea.

The cold wind was blowing very fast, there were also clouds of fog in the distance.

In this Tanveer said to Arun "What do you think there is a threat to Ajit's life, why the commander must have controlled his body, I do not understand this, if he opened the coffin, it would not happen, but if he opened the coffin if so, the commander's body will also be somewhere on the ship, after all, why did the commander's spirit enter his body", Tanveer asked Arun in surprise.

"I think the commander entered his body because he knew the secret of that coffin, if he had come to tell both of us, he would have told anyone else in the ship about the secret of that coffin, that's all, the commander must have done this to hide the secret, I do not think that the commander would have been freed from the bondage of that coffin, otherwise the new person appointed in the luggage department would have reached us by now about the breaking of those chains or the opening of the lock", Arun skillfully put his point in front of Tanveer.

Tanveer also agreed to this to a great extent, after a while both of them went to sleep in their cabin.
