Pratap, then, got really worried when one night he saw her having gone completely crazy and playing a record on the radiogram at full volume and dancing to it, till she fainted. To Prataps utter surprise when asked in the morning Baruna did not remember having done any such thing. . Prataps mother, who also had witnessed the dancing, was convinced that baruna was haunted by some evil spirits and to drive away that spirit, she called an Ojha, and had Pratap not come home in time on information form his sister Ruki, the Ojha might have burant her to death. pratap drove the Ojha out of the house, and thinking that some change of atmosphere could help, he brought Baruna to Calcutta.

He waited on the verandah and finally when Baruna opened the door in the morning, she behaved in such a way as if nothing had happened last night. On being asked she denied all that frantically. But Pratap would not belive her, not now. He drew out his revolver and was about to pull the trigger on her, when last nights stranger, Dilip arrived on the scene. Pratap thought it was all something pre arranged, but he was puzzled and so was Dilip, when Baruna denied having ever seen or meet Dilip. There was a ring of such sincerity in her voice that made Pratap withdraw his gun. Baruna was brought to a mental clinic and the docotrs said it might be a case of split personality. She was kept in the clinic under observation. But before the doctors could get a chance to cure her, she slipped out of the hospital. Peggys personal- ity came back, she had been away from clinic for quite a few days. She now realised that really something had been wrong with her all along.
