We did not understand what he said in his own language. Philip knew the native language. The conversation between them was like this: Philip asked, "What is your name?"
Ripvan.
Who did this to you?
The man trembled with fear and said, "Ghost man, ghost man."
Who is the demon man again?
They live in mountain caves. Born in the darkness of their night. They have fire in their eyes and monster power in their hands. There is inhuman violence in the chest. No one can tell when they come and when they disappear as silently as a shadow. Yesterday we fell into their hands.
What did you come here for yesterday?
Ripvan looked at us and was silent for a while.
Then he said softly, "I can't answer that."
Why?
Incarceration orders.
Inca means king. Your last Inca Atauyappa died 400 years ago. Then I did not hear the name of any incar.
Foreigners, how much do you know about us? Our Inca throne has never been empty. The city of the sun is still the capital of Inca.
What is the name of your incarceration?
The name of our incarnation is majestic creator.
Did he come here with you yesterday?
No, he never came out of the Sun City. We came with Sadir Raj. But now I have no strength to speak. The chest is bursting with thirst. Give me some water first.
A hard smile appeared on Philip's lips.
Mr. Philip said, "Ripvan, I know you are our worst enemy. You came here yesterday to kill us. So God punished you. Aren't you ashamed to ask us for water?"
Ripvan said, "I understand. I won't live long. My head is torn. My chest hurts badly. My arms and legs are broken. Even though I'm your enemy, won't you have mercy on me at the last minute?"
Philip knelt down without answering.
Then he examined the wounded man for a moment and said, "Look, Ripvan, I'm a passing doctor. I believe I can save you if you don't have a responsibility. But what good is it to me to save an enemy like you?"
Ripvan said in a panicked voice, "Foreigner, I promise if you can save my life I will be your friend forever. I don't want to die now. I have crippled parents and small children at home. Save me, foreigner. I am your friend." I will. "
He said these words in such a tone that my mind was filled with pity.
But Philip said firmly, "We have no value in your friendship."
Mr. Haldar said, "Mr. Philip, I did not know you were so cruel."
Turning to him. Philip smiled a little.
Ripvan said, "Foreign, if I may say so, my friendship is precious."
How?
You want to go to the city of the sun.
I have made such a wish.
But do you know the way to get there?
I know.
No, you do not know the true path. No one will ever be able to reach the Sun City by the way you know.
Why?
He hid on the road with thousands of guards. There is no accounting for how many foreigners have died as a result of this path.
If the demons had not come tomorrow, none of you would have survived.
Not so.
There is another secret route to the Sun City. To date, no foreigner has heard of it. That path is inaccessible but safe from all sides. If you save my life, I can find that way for you.
Philip's eyes lit up.
Laughing, he said, "Ripvan, I agree with your proposal."
Ripvan said, "Then you give me water first."
Mr. Colonel fountain is not far from here. One of you go and get some water. Mr. Haldar went to fetch water as I was going.
Ripvan said, "Foreigner, the love of life is a great love. If you leave me in the forest in this state, my death is certain. But I can't die like such a dog. So I have to betray the love of life."
Philip said, "Will you betray me again?"
Excited, Ripvan said, "Isn't it betrayal? You came and took our country. You took away our freedom. You made us like sheep and cows. We moved away from you. We try to see the future heaven in our imagination, but you also want to deprive us of that happiness. You are the enemy of my country. Is it not treachery for you to find our way to heaven?
But what to do? There is no way. The love of life is great love. So I have to betray my life. "
Suddenly the roar of a gun was heard from a distance.
The Colonel was startled and said, "Who fired the gun again?"
I said, "Mr. Haldar is probably fighting with the birds."
Then I heard the shout of Mr. Haldar.
Philip jumped up and said, "What's the matter?"
"Ghost people," Ripvan said in a distorted voice.
Mr. Colonel and I hurried to the fountain.
Mr. Colonel ran and said, "We didn't do the right thing by leaving Mr. Haldar alone."
After a while we came to the fountain. But there is no Mr. Haldar. His gun is lying next to the fountain.
I shouted Mr.Haldar, Mr.Haldar. But no response was received.
We rushed around like crazy looking for Mr. Haldar. But I didn't find him anywhere. We searched the surrounding hills, valleys, caves, bushes. There is no sign of Mr.Haldar's anywhere. We became very worried.
In fact, Mr. Philip said, "What's the matter, you didn't find Mr. Haldar?"
No.
I couldn't find him around well.
"Then he's been taken away by demons," Ripvan said in a worried voice.
I said, where did they take Mr. Haldar? Where is the abode of ghosts?
Ripvan said, "A huge hill after walking along the path in front. A little more hill after that. Their camp is next to that hill."
The Colonel said, "Mr. Philip, you continue to treat Ripvan. I and Jayant will go and find Mr. Haldar."
As soon as I said that, Mr.Colonel and I left. We are crossing the road very carefully with guns in our hands. Sometimes I peek inside the bushes. If there are any ghost people lurking for us. No, I didn't see anything in the bushes.
We are moving forward.
I see a huge hill in front.
We quietly went to the hill. I didn't find anything there either. Carefully cross the side of the hill and go ahead and see another hill.
I saw some people dancing on the hillside.
Strange their dancing. They have no clothes to wear. Men and women are all naked.
We covered our bodies next to a big rock. Then I looked around and started looking for Mr. Haldar. A little later I saw him tied to a huge tree near the hill. It seems that they have beaten and tied Mr. Haldar a lot.
Blood on his face. Blood is coming out of the forehead.
Seeing the ghost people dancing obliviously, we secretly wanted to go to Mr.Haldar. But after a while I saw two men came and took Mr.Haldar to a cave. They left him there. His hands and feet were tied.
The two of us were there for a long time waiting for the opportunity.
After a while we went to another stone and covered our bodies. The inside of the cave is clearly visible from there.
I saw that only Mr.Haldar was dying inside the cave.
