The manager gave him a bitter drink to sober him up, he awakens from dazed state and stays awake and works in the alone overnight.
During the night time, while he was completing his work, he realized what he had done in the office in drunken state.
He pulls his hair in frustration, he could hear snickers, hisses around him but no one was there except him in the office.He looks around and his feet shaking as he looked around his cabin, felt the items surrounding him move and expand larger.
Out of the blue, something thin-stretchy shadow slipped inside his shirt, he gasps in pain, he felt his skin being ripped, his eyes painfully transform into snake-like.
His arm shrinks to small size, his legs turn boneless and wobbly, he crawls on the ground with panic storming in his mind and veins.
He hisses with cry of help, " Helppppp..I…whatssss..happpenning to me…? Help..HELP! " His cries stop when he came across a person standing in the shadow.
He calls for help with desperate tone,
" Please, help me. Pleasssse take me to hosssspital or call….an ambulance. Pleassse!"
The stranger remained silent, bends to his level, the employee scampers far away from that stranger, and he mutters with anxious tone, " How..What..But..I..I..you..you did this to me. But, how can sssssomeone human do thisss to mee. I am ssssssorry, I didn't mean to do that.
Please let me go. Let me go! Aghhhh.eeee..aaghhh. No..I won't sssssay a word. Turn me back to normal.
No..I ssswear…Aaaaaghhh. sssssSorry."
The strangers didn't move or flinched from his position or even spitted out a single word, but somehow the employee was talking with that stranger and that stranger was doing something to him.
The stranger after his satisfactory sadistic feeling, he turns back him normal and as soon as the employee reforms back into human, he instantly ran out of the office like a madman, tumbling in the stairs, his head is bleeding.
The security guard is shocked seeing him running out of the office with bleeding head, torn clothes and unstable behavior. He immediately stomped inside the office building and checked each floor, but he didn't find anything suspicious or strange.
The guardsman returned to his place, the stranger in the shadow standing by the closed window, his reflection imitated an image of haunting from of nightmare.
The next day, the boss comes late, his eyes glinting with madness, his iris was the shade of wine red, his ears seem to be elongated.
Upon his entrance, the fired employee who came to take back his items suddenly started behaving abnormally, he started rambling mindlessly, which irked weird to his colleagues.
For some unknown reason, the employees felt shivering coldness creeping up their skin when the boss came into the office and till the boss left to attend an important online meeting, the temperature kept getting colder and colder in the employees' working area.
On the another side, at a luxurious restaurant, a young couple sat at reserved table on their second, the boyfriend had an annoyed frown on his lips as his girlfriend mocked his incapability to satisfy her expensive taste.
She was trying to make him feel guilty by bringing him here in this high-class restaurant, she didn't want him to feel small rather she wanted him to spend a little on luxury sometimes at least.
But, her pride didn't let her speak honestly with him, so she is acting in extravagant manner which deeply hurt her boyfriend's feelings.
But then, she also told him that since he matters to her a lot, she doesn't mind less extravagant places as long as he is there, but he only paid attention to the first part of her sentence.
And, this invoked film of stressful memories, bullied memories, which fueled his negative emotions, and as a result, his mind shut down and irrational impulse awakened in him in full form.
His eyes turned golden-black, which she didn't notice as she is busy in savoring the delicious food, he cryptically stared at her while hungrily eating his food, vegetable pieces scattered near his plate and his girlfriend noticed it, but she didn't mind it.
After finishing dinner, his girlfriend went to pay the bill, then boyfriend's gaze travelled at the hanging lamp just a few inches above their heads, his smile widens to his ears, his eyes darted around ensuring whether someone is looking in their direction.
Being cautious of the people around him, he sneakily weakened the rope's strength by ripping half of its strands in such way it is barely hanging on the thread.
Nobody noticed because of the dim-lit mood theme for couples. When she returned, he smiled affectionately at her, she smiled back and informed him that she needs to go.
But, he insisted her to sit for a few minutes more while holding her hand delicately. She was beyond delighted, she squeals silently as he kissed her hand.
Suddenly *loud thump* was heard, grabbing everyone's attention. People are gasping, some of them are whispering and gossiping, and a few of them are shocked.
She made an eye contact with his boyfriend, she saw satisfaction in his eyes, breaking her heart and she then felt blood dripping down her hair, her eyes burning with tears of realization.
He rushed to her side and held her in arms, acts innocent and asks people to call for ambulance, while people are blanked by this tragic incident.
Meanwhile, her boyfriend whispers in her ears with nasty sadistic tone, " Is this expensive lamp good enough for your brain's luxurious taste? Hmm?"
She just whimpers in agony and heart-break, she faints thinking about how his sweet and understanding boyfriend drastically changed within just few weeks.
The restaurant's manager called ambulance for that lady and few minutes after, she was taken to hospital, but her boyfriend didn't pay her a visit.
Similarly, in unknown places, the shadow of demons rose in hidden disguise of their manipulative faces, but the public couldn't remark the actual culprit among them in day-to-day life.
Among this, build up pressure of stress, chaos, fright, and uncertainties were eating the human minds but still, Navya managed to block the creepy shadows seeping inside her house by creating a space of peace, harmony and positivity in her house.
She even tells Hrida bedtime stories daily to prevent her from thinking too much while she is recovering from both physical and mental pain, Hrida needs a break, and she is just giving her vast space to breathe and relax.
Finally, the execution of the police's plan for the sake of civilian's safety starts from today, according to their plan, the first is initiated ; Tight security level 1 : The specially trained officers scattered in different areas of the city along with collaboration of other branches of police station in the city.
The civilians are less crowded at public places because of the recent viral video showcasing the mall's footage, still, there are some people that think this news and video is just a publicity stunt/ photo shopped/fake.
In order to spread awareness and make people consciously alert, they made a public announcement on various news channels regarding a mastermind criminal being loose on the street that terrorize people with inhuman forces and even caused many deaths.
And, he is none other than Kali, we may believe it or not, but he has risen from the buried graves of negativity within the depth of our mind.
He is the same mythical being that we heard/learned from ancient stories/prescripts/texts.
Lakshman politely pleads the civilians in a serious tone, " Civilians, we need to face this poisonous truth and don't underestimate this matter, it is dead serious.
And, I had witnessed the horrors of it with my own eyes in live. So, in order to show you the truth, a video clip will be shown, so if kids are in the room, then send them in their room.
And please, beware, the video is sensitive, so kindly prepare yourself mentally to see the worst expected images.
And, Sorry, I had to show you this video, but it is for your own safety so that you are aware against whom we are going to battle for our survival."
Then the media channels played the clip of solitary jail confinement, in which the raw and inhuman ashes of darkness awakening in its demonic forms out of prisoners is clearly evident in it.
The civilians were scared, shocked and next day onwards, the number of people in public places lessened to even a reduced number.
The police department executed their second step; Drawing in the Shawmys' attention: The police officers disguised themselves as Shawmy in civilian form and also mentally prepared to put their lives in line for the citizens, and they are determined to catch the culprit.
The current day at nighttime, the stars flickering in worry, the wind anxiously making whoosh loud sounds, the stressful silent night influenced fear and terror inside every home, but there is a sense of alertness in people's mind that is keeping them sane.
While as the night turns darker and darker, the disguised trained officers did catch a few Shawmys and upon encounter, they put them in sleep state for 24 hours, but they were many Shawmys that are smart and sneaky, whom they are unable to trap because they didn't know to press on their weak points, still, they are trying to figure out.
On the other side, Hrida, Shashi and Soma prepared themselves, and they were ready for execution of their plan tonight at exact 11 am.
Firstly, Hrida executes the first part of the plan; weakening the Shawmys' power by using the holy mantras.
She helped her friends in memorizing the powerful mantras, and she tied protections threads around their wrist and advised them to tie around the affected civilians.
Their plan involves Shashi and Soma secretly detects affected civilians with the help of Tapish, who can sense negative energies from afar. Shashi invented a code language to communicate while active on the mission.
Hrida calls them in conference mode, Hrida utters with a serious tone, " Friends, I wanted to make one thing clear about this plan.
Both of you won't act beyond your protection in the battlefield, I wouldn't forgive you at all and if you need my help, then don't think twice before calling me.
And, I am serious about this. "
Shashi chuckles, " Yeah, Hrida, you indeed sound serious. Don't fret, I will call you if the situation gets out of hand.
Hridaaa…relax ! We will carefully execute the second part of the plan without any hassle, you don't worry. "
Soma reassures with calm tone, " Yes, Hrida, leave it to us. We will be cautious and smart.
And, we have our phone to keep in touch with each other and our coded short messages will effectively save our time and keep us ahead of those evil beings."
Hrida just 'Hmms'. Later at night, Shashi and Soma sneaked off their house and met at a garden nearby Shashi's house, they came full prepared with being covered from head to toe in protective clothes, they wore proper cricketer outfit for protection.
On the other hand, Hrida is praying on her bed to keep her friends safe from their energies and help them defeat those Shawmys.
She sent coded messages like ' Isn't green the beautiful color ? Do you have any green thing around you? '
Soma responds back with message ' Indeed it is ! ' and, Shashi replies with message
' Everything is green and only green'.
She is relieved a bit, and patiently waits for their message. Shashi and Soma split and searched for any indication of Shawmy before inviting Tapish in their plan.
But, all the places were empty and vacant, but they did spot Shawmys guarding the houses, so they decided to sneak upon them.
Shashi's eyes noticed police jeep parked at random places, but he recognized because he had often seen police jeep running on the road a lot within this month.
