Rudra was not able to believe Bhushan's words. He felt that he was joking with the boss but deep inside he was also afraid that what he was saying was true. Rudra was thinking this much when a girl came out from inside waving her hair. "Did you call me father? Actually I was taking bath so I could not come."
Coming out Meenakshi saw that there was another person sitting with her parents whom she did not even know. "Who is this father?" Meenakshi asked with surprise.
Bhushan picked up Seema's photo and said to Meenakshi, "Son Meenakshi who is this?" "What has happened to you father? Don't you know who he is?" Meenakshi said with some anger.
"Daughter I know but this boy is not able to believe it. According to him Seema is his wife and they got married 2 years ago." Bhushan said softly.
Meenakshi started looking at Rudra and after some time spoke in a slightly raised voice, "It has been 5 years since my sister died, why are you calling my sister your wife? How can someone who died 5 years ago marry you 2 years ago?"
"Look, the person whose picture you are showing me is not my wife Seema, yes, but whatever she told me about you was true and I have reached here according to her advice. She told me that I have my father, mother and a younger sister at home," said Rudra fearfully.
"Look, whoever you are, go away from here now. My parents have come out of the grief of my sister's death only a few months ago and you are coming back and refreshing all their memories," said Meenakshi angrily.
"Look, it is very important for me to find my wife, she is pregnant. If something happens to her, I will never be able to forgive myself. Please understand me," said Rudra stammering.
"It seems you are not understanding what I am saying, father, please wait for some time, I will show him the way out" said Meenakshi to him with more frustration.
After saying this, Meenakshi tied her hair and holding Rudra's hand started taking him out of the door. Rudra was repeatedly saying the same thing to all of them "It is very important to find my wife, please help me, if something happens to her then I will not be able to live". But Meenakshi was taking him away. Meenakshi took him out of the door and said "This is my house, only mine, there is no Seema here, if you see her again then it will not be good for you".
"Look, it is very important to find her, why are you not understanding what I am saying" said Rudra with moist eyes. Meenakshi was looking here and there while Rudra was speaking, after this she peeped inside once and then came to Rudra and gave him a slip of paper. "Go away from here, your wife is not here, find her wherever she is" said Seema in a loud voice with anger.
After hearing Meenakshi's voice, Rudra understood that she was afraid to tell anything in front of everyone and that is why she was pretending in front of everyone. After this Rudra also left from there peacefully. While leaving he again saw all the same men sitting there After which he looked at Rudra and asked, "What happened, you look very sad, did the work for which you had gone not happen?"
"No, actually I had come to the wrong village, it is my mistake, by the way thank you all", said Rudra while cleaning his mouth.
"Well, God be with you, by the way son, which village are you from?" a middle aged man sitting there asked.
At that time Rudra was so sad that he could not understand anything else, due to which he blurted out, "Yes, I am from Udaygiri". On hearing the name of Udaygiri, there was a commotion among all of them, everyone started whispering among themselves and started talking strange things about Rudra. "Udaygiri, this is the same village which is cursed, isn't it?" the man asked angrily.
Rudra had understood his mistake, but now he could not correct it, due to which he remained silent. "Hey listen, he is from the same cursed village, throw him out of your village quickly or else the soil of our village will also get polluted" said the man in a loud voice.
"You boys, get out of our village as soon as possible or else you will not be able to go from here safely and yes, don't make the mistake of setting foot in this village again" said another man from the other side in anger.
Hearing their words, Rudra also ran away from there quickly. After reaching outside the village, Rudra opened that slip of paper and started looking at it.
"It is not appropriate for us to talk here, so meet me at the temple in the north direction of the village, I will meet you there at 11:00 pm".
After seeing this, Rudra's problem had increased even more because now all those villagers will not let him go inside the village under any circumstances and if he goes inside, his life can also be in danger.
Rudra was thinking about how to make a way to go inside, after this his eyes fell on another temple which was at some distance from there and also outside the village.
Rudraksh started going to the temple, there were many beggars sitting there, as Rudra was touching them one by one, they all were looking at Rudra, after some time Rudra reached the last step where a beggar stood right in front of him, the beggar's eyes were completely white, there was ash in his hair and his body was also covered with ashes.
For a moment Rudra was shocked to see him. Then he remembered the tantrik who had come to their village and burnt that house. His eyes and body were exactly like that.
"Why did you come here to waste your time? You will get all the information, every question, every answer related to you in Udaygiri only. Go back, there is still time, otherwise you will lose a very important thing," said the beggar.
Ignoring his words, Rudra went inside the temple. The other temple was clearly visible from that temple, after which a plan came to Rudra's mind that why not call Meenakshi out.
After all, what secret was Meenakshi going to tell Rudra, what was the meaning of that beggar's words, where is Seema, who was that girl who died in an accident 5 years ago?
Thank you
