Born Again

She described how, one day, she ventured a bit further away from the camp. No one was in visible range or within earshot and Ian Brown cornered me. He blamed Margret of ditching his friend and both of them had a heated argument. There was some pushing and they both fell off a cliff.

Like last time there was pin drop silence and Tania started to speak in a strange manner, saying that the person she was supposed to have ditched was Peter Black.

She explained that these were the main lives that she actually survived till a prominent age where memories can be retained. This uncle had killed her, when she was a baby, a number of times in various past lives.

"You see, it is only as Sanya that I can come through the waves of the curtains of time and connecting to Tania to convey any important message."

"Yes you visited me in a dream asking me to call Tania and her grandfather to the clinic today." Responded the doctor.

"Yes, I did! Actually I had to."

"It was important because, I visited Tania's home last night before I came to see you."

"You see Igor, her uncle and murderer of past lives, is working on a plan."

"He had placed a CCTV Camera in Tania's room. But you all got to know, so he removed it."

"He then placed a listening device under her bed, he actually attached it to the inner side of the leg of the bed."

"He was listening in through the device and figured out something about your plans."

"Last night I found that he was listening in to whatever you were talking about in Tania's room. Though he could not hear the entire conversation, he did manage to hear bits and pieces of the conversation."

"Igor understood that someone by the name of Sanya, had visited Tania and her paternal grandfather somewhere outside Tania's home. This, Sanya, informed you that there was a hidden treasure buried in a cave near Kalibangan, in present day Rajasthan, India."

"This treasure comprises of ancient jewels, a golden crown, robes (which would have turned to dust by now) as well as a scepter with a huge diamond."

"To him, all that mattered was to get his hands on the hidden treasure. Once he got his hands on it, he would sell it in the collectors market for a huge profit. He knows that in the International market, there were people with lots of money who would be ready to pay for such priceless items directly or through private auctions of such items."

Sanya explained further that, "Igor, had heard the conversation in Tania's room about their wanting to shift to India soon and then to visit this place called Kalibangan. He would ensure that he would follow them to India when they left Moscow. It was easy to convince his mother, Nikita to tag along, as she had started doting on her granddaughter and his niece, Tania."

"I could feel the existence of hate within him for his deceased sister and brother-in-law."

"He was still not happy with this cross culture, cross religious connection. He had even expressed his unhappiness on this matter to his sister, whom he visited when she was pregnant with Tania."

"But, like all goons, he was not averse to grabbing the property etc. that his sister and his brother in law had left behind for their daughter, after their demise in the car crash."

"I could feel the vibes of his memory that he had got someone to fidget with the foot break as well as the hand break of the car, so that it would not stop when either the foot break or the hand break was applied. The couple could not avoid the speeding truck by taking a slight side cut as the breaks did not get applied the car had rammed into the speeding truck. They had died instantaneously."

"He knew that he needed to be careful as Tania would have told her Indian grandparents about the CCTV. They would have guessed that he had placed it and had removed it today."

"I have a dreadful feeling that this time his intent is to grab the treasures from the cave and try to eliminate you after laying his hands on the treasure."

"He would try to do this in the cave or after leaving the cave, so Tania needs to be careful. Others need to be careful as he does not like to leave any witnesses."

"Once you all reach India and head for Kalibangan ruins, I and Arun will meet you near the earmarked cave."

After saying this, Sanya disappeared and the doctor could see that Tania was starting to come back from her trance like state.

"I will count backwards from 10. When I reach 1 you will be wide awake. ok." He said.

As the Doctor counted from 10 backwards to 1, Tania woke up from her trance like state.

"Do you remember anything Tania?" The Doctor asked.

"Nothing," She replied.

"Tania would you care for a glass of water?"

Before Tania could say yes, he had already called his assistant on the intercom asking him to send three glasses of water.

The assistant brought the water and as soon as he left, Tania started asking questions.

"What happened? How was it?"

"Did Sanya come? What did she say?"

"Yes she came and spoke through you. Actually, she needs a medium to speak to us. Otherwise, She can always come through our dreams."

"I recorded what ever Sanya spoke through you."

"Do you remember anything that Sanya said?" The Doctor asked.

"No, I do not remember anything."

"I think you need to listen," saying this the Doctor pressed the play button of the recording.
