This is my first attempt at writing a story. To tell the truth, I have never even taken the attempt to write diaries. Continuous writing has the tendency to make me feel exhausted, you see. Fatigue

But, for some reasons, I feel the need to share this story with you guys. As this is my first attempt at writing, I would deeply appreciate if you could give me your valuable criticisms Smile

illai...as to why the kid and nikhil developed hatred to her. u know a genuine friend or a male company or may be even driver, she casually laughed and spoke, and the kid got restless, as it was immatured to understand the shades of relationship.

I did think about adding more characters but I felt that the story, as it is, was too lengthy. And adding more characters or giving more scope to Chitra's or to any other characters for that matter, would tend to make the story a little more dreary.

But thanks for the suggestions. I'll definitely keep this is in mind if/when I write my next story

Andy,

kathai peyar kaaranam ennavo?

Actualy I thought that the hero might have been the cause for all.. appadi mudiyumnu ninachen.. he is the like TM No Teeth

or something like tht...

The title was meant to generate curiosity...but then again, i felt that it was appropriate for this story as Rishi believes that no matter how abnormal or odd Nikhil may seem, he is his friend.
I could have used the word "friend" as compared to "companion" in the title, but the story would then be too obvious to predict.

Anyway, what's TM?

AudazJay great story Clap

...I am glad you stuck with the original climax you had in mind...you might have risked being sloppy/unbelievable in order to go against expectations.. Smile

You certainly kept up a good pace and I am glad you kept up the pace with posting your story too. I would have liked to know if Chitra was actually at fault as per what Shakti mentioned.

Hmm maybe I am stereotyping....but from almost every relative/family friend I have in Malaysia, I have heard one or more ghost experiences/possession/black magic stories. Even my own Father has his share. Whether or not I believe them is based on how good they tell the story Wink

Except I dont believe in ghosts. If a child has an imaginary friend, its a sign of abuse - probably sexual abuse. Best thing would be to consult a child psychiatrist.

NOV-san I do not believe that every child who has an imaginary friend is a victim of abuse. It is a phase that almost all children go through and it usually ends when ignored or lightly/jokingly indulged and the child knows the limits of this kind of playing. As long as the child is not relating distressful/questionable behavior/experiences to this "imaginary friend".

Thanks for your comments. I'm beaming with joy with all your wonderful remarks

About Chitra...well, I'm going to leave that to your own imagination

Chitra may or may not be the innocent party here. After all, she spends most of her time with the kids, so there are chances to believe that she was abusive to her kids, rishi in particular which then lead him to create an imaginary friend (Nikhil).

Then again, if Nikhil is believed to be a ghost, then the chances are that he believes all mothers are evil (based on what happened in his own life) which eventually compelled him to instill the same belief in Rishi.

Reading the story again today, I felt that the part where Rishi says "that his friend Nikhil stays at the corner house" could have been avoided...that would have stirred more prophecies...

Man kills mum after late father�s �whisperings�

�MYSTERIOUS whisperings� from his dead father urged a man to slash his mother�s throat with a kitchen knife at their home in Kuala Langat, reported Harian Metro.

Believed to be mentally ill, the 45-year old man used the knife on his 73-year-old mother at noon on Monday.

Kuala Langat OCPD Supt Mohammad Radzi Ishak said the murder was discovered when the suspect�s brother visited his mother, who had been ill, at about 4.45pm that day.

�The suspect denied his brother entry while still clutching the knife,� he said.

Supt Mohammad Radzi added that the suspect then told his brother that he had killed their mother after hearing mysterious whisperings from their late father.

Police rushed over to the house after receiving the brother�s report and took several minutes to persuade the man to surrender, he said.

He added that they found the victim�s body in the living room with slash marks on the neck.

Supt Mohammad Radzi said the man had been remanded for seven days and that the case would be investigated under Section 302 of the Penal Code.
