Chapter 17 - Mamta's burning death

When Rudra regained consciousness, he found that there were many people screaming from outside. Rudra's room was filled with smoke. Rudra was having difficulty in breathing and was coughing badly. After which Rudra somehow reached the door limping.

Gathering courage, he opened the door. Then suddenly a cloud of water hit Rudra and he got pushed due to which Rudra fell down. "Hey look there is someone there, bring him quickly" came a man's voice from somewhere. Before Rudra could understand anything, some people came and started picking up Rudra and taking him away. Rudra was completely wet after which he noticed that Mamta's entire house was on fire.

It was around 5 o'clock in the morning at that time, everyone was trying to extinguish the fire by pouring water.

Rudra knew that Mamta had started this fire, due to which he was standing quietly. All the people living nearby had also gathered there. Rudra was standing there comfortably and watching the spectacle and his eyes were searching for Mamta in the crowd.

"Oh, look how much Amma ji must have suffered, her screams were coming from far away" people were talking among themselves.

Rudra was shocked to hear them. "What did you say, Amma ji was also inside" said Rudra in surprise. "Oh yes brother, you live downstairs, right? So did you not hear her screaming?" said the man in a slightly louder voice.

The ground slipped under Rudra's feet. Amma was the one who was going to act as a stepping stone for him and she died like this. Rudra was still thinking about the devastation when a thought came to his mind, "How can Amma's house catch fire, the place where she set the fire is some distance away".

While thinking, Rudra's eyes suddenly widened. "Has that man burnt Amma alive?" Rudra started thinking in his mind.

Till now Rudra was not worried about the fire but now he was feeling very sad. All the things in Amma's house had turned to ashes. After the fire was extinguished, Rudra quickly went upstairs and found a burnt corpse lying there and someone's bracelet was left in his hand. It looked like someone's bracelet had been left on his wrist while defending himself. After seeing that bracelet, Rudra's mind was clear. "I had doubts on Amma, maybe that's why someone killed Amma, this must be the same person who had come to meet Amma last night" Rudra was thinking.

"If what I am thinking is true, then somewhere it also points towards Seema's death, which means that she was really murdered".

Well, after some time the police came there and started searching all the places. All the people standing outside started going back slowly, sadness was visible on everyone's face but there was a person among them in whose eyes Rudra could see fear and happiness together. That person must be almost of Amma's age.

All Rudra's attention was attracted towards him but when his eyes fell on Rudra, he started going from there avoiding Rudra's gaze. Rudra was suspicious of him but he could not go anywhere from there.

After some time that man disappeared from his sight. Now the police was questioning Rudra after which Rudra told everything as if it was a case of theft.

Rudra told them that someone had mixed something in his food due to which he was unconscious. He also asked them to check the food.

After the interrogation, the police personnel asked Rudra to stay there due to which Rudra could not go anywhere now.

After the police left, Rudra started going to all the neighbors' houses one by one and started searching for that man. Slowly Rudra had visited all the people's houses, now only a few houses were left.

Rudra was completely sure that he would find that man somewhere nearby. As soon as Rudra went towards the next house, he found that the door of that house looked very old. Well Rudra knocked on the door.

For some time Rudra waited for someone to open the door but no one opened the door. Rudra was about to leave when he noticed that the door was locked from inside which meant that there was someone inside.

Now Rudra kept knocking the door again and again. Slowly everyone around the house started looking at Rudra after which that man came out from inside and angrily opened the door and said "When someone is not opening the door then it means that he is waiting for you…" The man was still speaking when he saw that everyone was standing outside due to which he had to calm down.

"Tell me why have you come here" the man asked. "It will only harm you if you talk here" Rudra said while looking here and there.

Now the man understood what he said and started taking him inside the house. As soon as Rudra went inside he slammed the door shut. "Why have you come here" the man said angrily.

"Everyone there was sad to see Amma, you were the only one who looked happy there" said Rudra looking at him.

"I remembered something at that time" said the man avoiding eye contact.

"No matter how big the matter is, if someone is burning to death in front of you, no one can laugh at that time, I have come here just to know the reason behind your laughter" replied Rudra.

Rudra's questions were bothering him, after which he caught Rudra's hand in anger and started taking him out. "You get out of my house first".

"Look at my house, I have to tell you about that.

It is very important to know about Amma, please understand what I am saying" Rudra started speaking with a sad heart. That man was continuously taking him out without listening to Rudra.

Now he took Rudra out of the door. "Don't come here again, I will tell you" said that man in anger.

Rudra was about to say something to him when his eyes fell on a picture inside due to which Rudra suddenly became very quiet and stood like a statue.

As soon as that man was about to close the door, Rudra put his foot in the middle of the door. "Move your foot and go away from here" said that man while closing the door.

Then only one word came out of Rudra's mouth "Anamika". Hearing that name, that man's hands also stopped and he also started looking in the direction Rudra was looking. That man was surprised that how did Rudra know about Anamika. "How do you know Anamika, tell me" that man asked curiously .

At that time Rudra was completely stunned due to which he was unable to think and understand anything. "Tell me, tell me" the man said holding Rudra by his collar.

In the last few days, life had surprised Rudra more than he had ever experienced in his entire life.

Who was that man and why was Anamika's picture hanging in his house, who had killed Mamta, where was Seema, what was the motive of that devil?
