Even though Rudra was smiling after listening to Seema, but deep inside he also felt that what Seema was saying was right but he was pretending as if it did not matter to him. After some time it became night and both of them fell asleep while talking.
The next day was also going on like everyday, Rudra woke up, had breakfast and left for his office, while Seema stayed at home and kept doing the household chores. Rudra was comfortably working in his office when he got a call on his phone.
Rudra took out his phone from his pocket and saw that it was Seema's call, after this he picked up the phone and started talking to Seema.
"How are you, everything is fine there isn't it?" Rudra asked smiling.
"Everything is fine here, actually I called you to tell you that I have to go to my village for some work, my mother is not well", Seema said in a low voice.
"Oh! You wait, I will take leave and come, then both of us will go together", Rudra said nervously.
Rudra disconnected the call and started going to the company manager. Rudra was about to open the door when he found that the manager was standing right in front of the door.
"Hey! Rudra you, I was coming to you, actually today a very important meeting is going to be held in the company and many guests are also going to come and you have to take care of all of them, see that they do not feel the lack of any things" said the manager in a slightly harsh voice.
Saying this he started going out. Rudra was about to talk to him about leave when. "Everyone listen to me carefully, a meeting is going to be held in the company and today no one can take leave, no matter how important work someone has and yes, if anyone wants leave then he should leave the company" said the manager in a harsh voice while addressing everyone.
Hearing this, Rudra got a big shock and he became very disappointed after which he took out his phone and started calling Seema. "Hello! Actually the thing is that I cannot get leave today, there is a very important meeting in the company so please excuse me" said Rudra as soon as he picked up the phone. "It is okay I am leaving for the village in a little while, you can come there later" said Seema. "Listen take care of yourself" said Rudra in a worried voice. After saying this Rudra disconnected the phone and started working in the office.
Rudra was badly stuck in the office's formalities, someone would ask him for something and someone else for something else, Rudra did not even have time to breathe. The whole day passed like this and he reached home tired and exhausted. After going there Rudra found that the food was already cooked, after which he ate and slept after studying. Rudra started having bad dreams in which he was seeing different kinds of dreams. "All the villagers were hanging upside down from the tree in the same way and this time Aadesh was also hanging with them, everyone's face was covered with blood. Rudra was looking around at all the people.
Now suddenly Rudra stopped and his eyes remained wide open. Rudra's wife Seema was also tied with a rope behind the same tree. Now as soon as Rudra moved forward, the tree caught fire due to which Rudra fell far away. Now Rudra's eyes opened and he found that his whole body was sweating, hands and legs were trembling, the heartbeat was going very fast. Out of fear, Rudra stood up and started looking at the time. The clock had shown 4 o'clock, just after which Rudra called Seema in panic. Seema was not picking up the phone but Rudra kept on calling her again and again. Slowly Rudra's panic was increasing. Rudra did not know any of Seema's family members. "Why is Seema not picking up the phone, has some accident happened?" Rudra was thinking.
After some time he calmed his mind and started saying to himself, "She must be sleeping right now, that is why she is not picking up the phone". After a few hours, at 7 am, Rudra again started calling Seema but this time her phone was switched off. Rudra got very scared and quickly dressed up and left for Seema's village. Rudra took all the money he had and left from there. Seeing Rudra going so fast, his landlady was also surprised and was calling him but Rudra was not able to hear anything.
Well, after some time Rudra boarded a bus for Bhangarh and the bus also left for his village. After a journey of many hours, finally by noon, Rudra reached there and started going to his village by sitting in a rickshaw. The rickshaw puller was trying to talk to him but Rudra was not ready to say anything. Whenever he asked something to Rudra, Rudra would say, "Bhaiya, drive a little faster". After which he would become silent.
After some time, Rudra reached the village and after paying the rickshaw puller, he started running from there. Further ahead, Rudra saw some people of the village sitting, after which he went to them.
"Listen, can you tell me which is the house of postman Bhushan ji?" Rudra asked.
"Okay Bhushan jig's, look, go straight from here and then turn right from the front, there is a white coloured house outside which there is also a neem tree, that is his house", said Ami smiling.
All those people were looking at Rudra with surprise. Now after listening to them, Rudra started leaving from there quickly. After reaching outside the house, Rudra knocked on the door. Rudra was expecting that Seema would open the door but instead a woman opened the door.
"Pranaam Maa ji"
Rudra said while touching her feet. "Pranaam, by the way who are you son and why have you come here" the woman said in surprise. "Yes actually Seema" Rudra was saying this when the woman said "So you are Seema's friend, come inside". Now Rudra quickly started going inside and sat there and waited. Just then Rudra saw Bhushan coming from there. He was also surprised to see Rudra. "Mamta who is this boy" Bhushan said in surprise. "Yes I am Rudra, didn't Seema tell you?" Rudra said smiling.
Now the man got into thinking and said, "Since when do you know Seema?" "Uncle I know her for many years and we are already married, she said that you all are a little angry with her so you will not come to the wedding."
Hearing this, the man and the woman started looking at Rudra with strange eyes. "By the way when did you get married?" the man asked.
"Yes uncle two years ago, by the way you must know everything, then...". After which the man suddenly said in a loud voice "Meenakshi, Meenakshi". When no one heard him, the man started leaving from there. "You wait here."
Now Rudra started looking towards that woman. The woman was also lost in some thought. Just then Bhushan came from there with a photo in his hand and keeping the photo in front of Rudra, sat on the chair next to him.
Seeing the picture, Rudra asked in surprise, "Who is this girl, Uncle?" "This is our daughter Seema, who left us in a road accident 5 years ago", the man said while crying. His words shook Rudra from within and then Rudra said, "No no uncle, how can this be Seema, this is someone else". Now Rudra took out his phone and started showing him Seema's picture. Seeing the picture, Bhushan calmed down and said, "This is not my daughter Seema".
Who was that girl who was living with Rudra as Seema, what was her intention, what was the curse on Rudra's village, where was Seema? Thank you
