Tik....Tok..

Tik....Tok..
Tik....Tok..
I was looking at the new Pendulum Wall Clock, which was bought in my room by my little sister.
Just then I heard, the big two side doors making noise of being opened, I saw It was a small young girl who wouldn't be more than 6 years old, she walked inside, with a delightful smile on her face, This young girl is my little sister "Khushi Begal" who I adored the most.
She had her shiny dark hair tied, and looked like two ponies on her sides, Her eyes were very adorable to look at which were Dark brown, with a face if seen by anyone would feel to be protected, having a small stature which will bring a bright smile to any being when graced by her little hand's hug.
Khushi asked the person in front of her that was me, "How are you feeling my big brother?"
If this question was asked in front of anyone, that person would think that a little sister is being concerned, while asking her brother about his health.
But on the off chance that inquired me, about the real intentions of his little sister who was concerned about his health, would be different.
She advances forward while coming near my big bed.
She once again asked me, "How are you feeling my big brother?".
she waited, but no response come from the other side while she started to giggle, as if she expected the silence.
[She was feeling the extreme delight of her life while asking the question]
She once again asked me, "How are you feeling my big brother?", mocking me for not being able to answer.
Hmph. Can't even answer your small sister what kind of brother are you?. she upbraided him of being an unworthy brother in a low tone to not let the voice reach the walls of the room.
[[In India, there is a saying, "Speak in a low voice so that walls don't hear you".]]
Khushi said, Don't mind me big bro, but may I know how is your time going? while whispering in a low voice..Tik....Tok..Tik....Tok.. gesturing her hand to be a clock Pendulum while giggling like a devil.
Just then we heard a familiar voice that ceased her giggling and turn the smile into tears on her face, while looking at me she completely reverted her personality, pretending to be in pain while seeing him in his current state.
The recognizable voice is non-other than his mother with the specialized doctor followed by his medical attendants which took care of him and checked him routinely by the instruction of the specialist.
Ajaya Begal's Mother "Krutika Begal" is a powerful woman, She is renowned as a sharp businesswoman and a powerful Chakra Ability User.
[Ability would be explained further.]
His mother had a plastered smile, while her eyes were having black circles in them. She came near to my bed and then started to look at me while caressing my face gently with the motherly love to protect and cherish affection flowing for her child.
While the doctor started his routine check-up on me, with his medical attendance made some adjustments today it wasn't similar to a regular routine, because this day he was going to be injected with the last "Ray-Infusion Serum" to revitalize his body to help him regain his health.
"Ray-Infusion Serum" It's a serum of pure essence of five elements obtained from a rare Fruit named "Hawthorn" which is an expensive fruit and very scarce to obtain.
Just when injected with the serum my whole body started to experience a change, that was of a dried husk to retain its essence of life, but if one sees me from the side while looking at my face would feel disgusted or feel terror to be looked at.

Ajaya **POV**
My name is Ajaya Begal, Ajaya implies "Invincible" whereas my surname, doesn't require clarification as it's of Regal's given name, which is well famous within the Maharashtra state of India.
Begal Family got to be one of the Regal ancestries after getting a title from "Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj's" child "Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj" who was a Beat within the heart of each and every Hindu in India.
[Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj is a principle of effulgence, rather than divine inspiration. He is certainly not human, he is God. Shivaji Maharaj is a Primal God who took birth in a divine and pure culture. In Indian history, no other religion has produced such an immaculate personality. One has yet to see a monarch who despite being powerful did not use his powers to torment, who despite being glorified was not arrogant, who conquered valorous enemies, and who despite being a human functioned as a God !. Under his guidance and his life experience, Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj was the eldest son of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj - the great Maratha warrior king. Shivaji Maharaj belonged to the Bhonsle clan and was born on 19th February 1627. Shivaji Maharaj built the Hindawi Swaraj - the Self-rule of Indians as against that of the Mughals who identified themselves as descendants from Tamerlane of Mongolia and also of Turcik - Central Asian (Chagtai) bloodline.]
The Begal Family was one of the families who spill their blood for Hindawi Swaraj under the blessings of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj.
My family is one of the richest families in Maharashtra but were as well facing problems due to the cosmic change on Earth.
(Cosmic Earth changes will be clarified further)
My current state on the bed is somehow related to the current dilemma on earth.
My state is that of a candle, "wax" to be precisely my life which is being pervaded through "time tread", while the "incident" is the candle fire that's burning my time and life in an unnatural way.
because of a bright happy occasion of my life, which was to be called the starting, whereas it concluded to be a cease of my life.
I loved my little sister Khushi the most, I happily fulfilled her every wish even if her wish came in between my own. But I didn't know something would go this much off-base to the degree that she would appreciate her possess brother's downfall days whereas she is the offender of it.
On a specific shining cheerful day, which was a celebrating day because it was my birthday, the whole Chateau was enhanced with extraordinary blossoms whereas numerous Royal families, commerce-related visitors, and relatives came to the enormous Begal Family Chateau to wish me a happy life on my day as well wished me of being capable to harness an "A"-ranked ability.
On this specific cheerful day, everyone anticipates a gift from their adored ones as a birthday being, as I got the same. But two particular gifts changed my entire cheerful day into a dreadful one not only for me but for my whole family.
One gift was from an anonymous person, while one was from my cute little sister Khushi which was a silver ring with a blue-colored stone on it.
Khushi gave me the ring when I was going to check my gifts in the gift room she surprised me when she gave me this ring while saving this ring is an enchanted ring that will protect your life from monsters.
I was surprised to know that she got an enchanted ring but didn't inquire her from whom she got the ring, I wore it before her to see her pleasing smile, whereas said Thank you for this exquisite blessing and giving a delicate embrace and kiss her on her temple.
I once again thanked her for the ring, then asked her on the off chance that she is interested to come with him to check his birthday gifts.
After going through some carefully chosen gifts, I came across an unnamed gift box with an exquisite pattern on it.
My current bedridden shriveled body state happened, from the moment I opened that anonymous gift box that didn't have any person's name on it who gifted it to me.
When I opened the box a horrifying creature that was the target of natural adversity came out of it while observing me and my little sister.
I was baffled but didn't relent or back off as I was trained and had fought with it earlier with my ability skill.
I was astounded but didn't yield or back off as I was prepared and have battled with it prior with my ability skills.
while Khushi started crying after looking at the horrified Parasite.
[Yes it was a "Parasite" which had a single evil violet eye and tentacles all over its body, size of 20 inches, mouth less creature.]
I tried to activate my ability but wasn't able to as if I was blocked from using my "Chakra" Energy.
(Chakra is an energy, that is being used as a fuel to activate any Ability, How is Chakra obtained would be clarified in coming chapters)
It was a critical circumstance where on the off chance he isn't able to activate his ability skill, both his small sister and his life would be in peril.
the horrifying creature was able to swim in mid-air when came out of the box,
It started to observe its surroundings which took a few seconds, But, in no time it came to its senses, looking for its prey which was certainly his little-looking sister Kushi which he felt was an easy target, it zooms in Khushi's direction, which Ajaya noticed, but he cannot let his sister even if he has to put his life on the line.
[The Parasite is a "Sucker" and a "Dwellkiller" also called "Prisoska", It sucks all the five elements of the living being through its tentacles when came in contact with it, if the creature entered into its prey body that can take full control of the body in few minutes and remain in the body for an hour while sucking its prey from the inside all it's five elements, not even ashes would remain. Can only be killed by piercing its violet evil eye. It has a sky blue body with a 20-inch stature and an Eye with numerous tentacles.]
So to save my Khushi who was crying, I sacrificed my body while screaming to her to run and call mom and dad to fight this creature.
But after the Parasite attacked while extending its tentacles, it directly got sucked inside my body while the ring on my hand as well disappeared, which left me felt the connection of Chakra within me.
While I Got my connection with the chakra but the sudden pain inside my body left me unconscious, but when I was falling unconscious I saw a few looks which were given by my own blood-related little sister Khushi, that was a smile that left me dumbfounded.
After that, I was fully paralyzed for Two whole years.
My entirety Two long years, in a paralyzed state, bought me a thrumming pain in my heart, as I see my sister split personality which had a dark side to it, that is putting a scar on my heart every time she visited me, as a sign to console his brother, She smiles and cries for what is of me now and what I have done to her.
This led me for being taunted, and tortured mentally for two whole years by my little sister, with the coming dead end as the last "Ray-Infusion Serum" which can keep me alive only for a Year not more than that, and then the parasite would suck me dry if only my family once again get the Serum then, I would only be able to stay alive for two years....IF ONLY?
But these two years, is a long time of bedridden mental torment, along with my sister that accompanies me with her disparaging comments, will make my will to battle for my life waiver. As I already had faced the torment and torture of the past two years.
["Ray- Infusion Serum" can only be taken four times not more than that to enhance the body limitations, Begal family only had two "Hawthorn" while the last one was being bought in the Sun Star Auction House at a high price which was been paid by his Parents.]
How?....How am I going to get out of this predicament"Bholenath"? ]
Is this the way I am going to be just alive on the bed, whereas my parents are betting their life on me, while my sister is getting darker day by day, and losing her rational soundness, just because??
He while crying and asking inwardly to the god, which he worshiped the most.
There wasn't any reply to his call for help, as if his god was taking his test.
["Bholenath" is a God of gods, also called "Mahadev", Bholenath is as well a name given by his devotees.]
Just then, His sister entered while asking questions about his well-being, in a mocking way which she does after entering his room while belittling him with every question she ask while spending time which led to his heartaches while spilling more questions into his mind.
Why did this happen to me?. He thought while asking...
Why did this happen to me? Why am I trapped in this bed, unable to move or fight back against the torment inflicted upon me by my own sister? It's a question that haunts my mind every day as I lie here, helpless and vulnerable.
But even in the midst of despair, there is still hope. The last "Ray-Infusion Serum" injected into my body has given me a glimmer of possibility. With its revitalizing properties derived from the rare Hawthorn fruit, it holds the key to extending my life for another year.
Yet obtaining more serum won't be easy. My family only had two doses left after using one on me already. The third dose was acquired through an expensive auction at Sun Star Auction House - a price paid by none other than my parents themselves.
Now we face a race against time and limited resources. If we can procure another batch of serum before it runs out completely, then maybe... just maybe... I will have enough time to find a solution to rid myself of this parasite that plagues both my physical and mental well-being.
But with each passing day spent confined within these four walls, enduring taunting remarks from Khushi - once so dear but now transformed into something dark and sinister - doubts begin creeping into my mind about whether I have what it takes to overcome these challenges.
I cry out silently for help from Bholenath – God above all gods – hoping he hears not just prayers but also pleas for guidance during times like these when faith wavers under immense pressure.
As days turn into weeks which turn into months since receiving that fateful gift box containing unimaginable horrors unleashed upon us all those years ago on what should've been nothing short of joyous occasion celebrating birth anniversary; memories haunt dreams where innocence shattered forevermore leaving behind scars etched deep within soul itself while questioning why? Why?
But I refuse to let despair consume me entirely. There must be a way out of this predicament, even if it seems impossible right now. With determination in my heart and the unwavering support of those who still believe in me, I will find a solution – for myself, for Khushi's sake, and for the future that lies ahead.
I may be bedridden physically but mentally? My spirit remains unbroken as I face each day with renewed resolve. The clock on the wall ticks away relentlessly - Tik...Tok..Tik....Tok..- reminding me that time is running out.
