Even though Rudra was going back to the city by bus, this village had shocked him so much that he could not get the village out of his mind. Thinking like this, Rudra fell asleep again.
After sleeping, Rudra had a dream that he had reached his home and his wife was waiting for him at home. Everything was going well when some people came there and started taking Rudra's wife with them. When Rudra tried to stop them, they attacked Rudra, due to which Rudra fell on the ground, bleeding. His wife was being taken away from in front of him, due to which he was shouting "Leave her, leave her". Then those people took her somewhere.
Now Rudra's eyes opened and he shouted loudly "Seema". All the people sitting in the bus got a little scared and started looking at him. When Rudra saw that he was inside the bus, he also lowered his head and sat down comfortably.
Slowly the time was passing and Rudra started remembering some moments of his village, how he used to play with Ankit and also used to study with him. Most of Rudra's studies were done in the village itself.
He came to the city only to complete the rest of his studies and he met Seema only in the last few days of college. When Rudra was remembering his college, his attention suddenly fell on Seema's picture, seeing which Rudra was surprised.
"Oh! Seema used to study in my college, yes I saw her in college only, at that time I used to live somewhere else, due to which I never paid attention to her" said Rudra surprised.
"So it means all this had started in the college days itself.
But then why would someone have killed Seema, what could be the reason, after all who could be the one who has enmity with Seema".
After some time Rudra reached his city and started going to his home, while going home Rudra remembered Meenakshi's words. While going he found that his landlady was paying full attention to him. Rudra ignored her and started going straight inside the house. As soon as he went inside the house, she came down from upstairs and started ringing the doorbell of Rudra's house. Rudra quickly went to open the door and as soon as he opened the door, he found that the lady came inside in front of him. "Hey son, you left from here in a hurry yesterday, I thought there must be some trouble, I even called you but you did not hear me" the woman said.
"Yes mother, actually one of my friends fell ill due to which I had to leave without telling anyone" Rudra replied.
After which the woman started leaving from there. "Listen mother, it has been two years since we have been living here but we still do not know your name" Rudra said.
Then the woman said as she went ahead "My name is Mamta". After which she left from there. After she left, Rudra started looking at the nearby houses, after which a thought came to his mind that if what Meenakshi said is true then she is definitely hiding something from him, after all Seema had brought me here and she had talked to him as if they knew each other from before.
Rudra was getting restless without Seema and he could not bear it, after this he quickly went up and went to his house. The mistress started knocking on the door. "Listen, open the door, I wanted to ask you something." After a while Mamta opened the door and found Rudra standing in front of her door. Now she was a little surprised. "What are you doing here Rudra?" she asked.
Rudra was standing and looking inside her house. There were many pictures and some statues kept inside. When she asked Rudra again why he had come, Rudra did not answer and came down. After which Mamta also closed the door again with surprise.
"Stupid, idiot, idiot why were you in such a hurry, wouldn't everything have been in a hurry, if you had been caught, would you have gone to ask? You should have waited for some time" Rudra said slapping himself in anger.
"There is something that this woman is hiding from me, maybe she knows where Seema is and maybe she knows how Seema died, whatever it is, I will have to go inside her house somehow, only then I can find out something" Rudra thought to himself while pulling his hair.
Rudra was cursing himself inside when his door rang again, this time Rudra calmed himself down and opened the door.
"Hey son I was going to the market to buy vegetables, if you tell me what you want to eat today then I will cook it for you, anyway your wife is not here and then how will you cook" Mamta said looking at Rudra.
A golden opportunity had come to Rudra by itself and Rudra did not want to miss it under any circumstances, after this Rudra started thinking in his mind that maybe God also wants the same that I should get a way to reach my wife.
"Hey son, what are you lost in thoughts about? I don't have the whole day, tell me quickly" said Mamta. After this, Rudra smiled a little and said, "Yes, whatever you wish, you can bring it, I will eat everything." Hearing this, Mamta made a strange face and went away from there.
As soon as Rudra saw that Mamta had gone some distance from the house, taking advantage of that opportunity, Rudra started going upstairs. Rudra knew very well that the market was quite far from their house and it would take Mamta 30 to 40 minutes to come and go from there.
Going upstairs, Rudra found that Mamta had locked the door and left, after which Rudra got very angry and hit the door with his hand. When Rudra could not find any other way to go inside the house, he saw a window but when he reached near that window, he found that it was also locked from inside.
With both the doors closed, Rudra started coming down in anger and started thinking that till then I should talk to the people around, whether any old man of yours lives here who can give me information about this woman.
All the houses were built at some distance from his house, due to which Rudra started running towards them quickly, while going suddenly Rudra's Parik collided with a root and he fell down.
Doodh stood up and started kicking the door in anger and then his attention went to the top of the house where Mamta had left a door open but the problem was that there was only one way to go up, which went from inside the house.
That way may have been difficult but Rudra was not ready to give up. Rudra started going up slowly with the help of a pipe. It was very slippery but still Rudra was not giving up. Well somehow Rudra reached there after trying again and again.
As soon as Rudra went inside with the help of the door, he saw that some keys were lying on the table in front. When Rudra started looking here and there, he heard the sound of an auto due to which he got very scared.
Rudra went near the window and tried to see, then he saw that Mamta had returned early from the market. Now Rudra did not understand anything and he quickly started running from there but then an idea came to his mind and he quickly went and picked up the soap and hid both the keys in front and behind it.
Even before Mamta came, Rudra started coming down slowly from there.
After going up, Mamta opened the door after which she started thinking something and suddenly started coming down.
Rudra was aware of her coming down due to which Rudra jumped down from some height. When Mamta knocked on the door, Rudra limped in and quickly opened the door. "Oh mother, you came so early," said Rudra while keeping his hand on the door. Mamta ignored his words and was looking inside. Now she too went back from there without saying anything. What secret was hidden in Mamta's house, what was the meaning of Rudra's dream, how was that devil connected to Rudra, where was Seema? Thank you
