Chapter 18 - Meeting the devil again

That man was continuously holding Rudra's collar and asking him the same question again and again that how does he know Anamika but Rudra was in no position to answer. Now that man said while removing Rudra's leg "I am asking you for the last time, if you don't answer this time then this door will never open for you". Hearing the man's words, Rudra came to his senses and while sliding his leg back he said "How do you know Anamika, what is the relationship between her and you". After this that man said to Rudra "Come inside, we will talk after that". After listening to him Rudra went into the room and went straight and stood near the picture. Seeing the picture of that middle aged man with Anamika Rudra was surprised and also worried. " First you answer my question that how do you know Anamika. " After this Rudra stood up with pride. " I asked the first question so I want the answer too, what relation do you have with Anamika? " Rudra said. Now the man got a little emotional and while sitting on the sofa said " I am the same unfortunate father who sent his daughter to the village on the behest of that woman, it was my mistake that I did not find out about that woman properly, but today fate has punished her due to which I am no longer so sad about the death of my daughter. That woman has also died in the same way as my daughter did. " While saying this the man started crying.

Now Rudra calmed him down after which he said " Look I have told you what relation I have with her, now you quickly tell me how did you know her. " Can you answer one more question of mine after which I will answer whatever you ask " Rudra said softly.

" Ok ask me. "The man said to him. "Actually, can you tell me how your daughter died?" Rudra asked. Now the man suddenly started looking at Rudra in anger and then keeping his hands on his feet said, "This woman got her married to a boy who took her to his village and burnt her alive and then ran away somewhere." Rudra was also surprised to hear this. "Why are you so surprised?" the man asked. "Actually, nothing like what you are saying happened. The one who burnt your daughter alive was not that man but the entire village of Udaygiri. According to them, your daughter was possessed by a witch and she had come there to destroy the village, this is what they believed. Sanjay had tried a lot to save her but they did not listen to him and as you are thinking about Sanjay, he has not fled anywhere. If you go to Udaygiri even today, he sits like a mad man near the same tree where Anamika was burnt. He has not been able to forget Anamika even today and has gone mad in her grief.

On hearing Rudra's words, the man suddenly stood up and said angrily, "How do you know all this?" Now Rudra was hesitating to tell him but still he had to tell him. After which he said, "Uncle, I am also from the same village and that is why I have been living here for so many years. Everyone there is strange and something or the other keeps happening there every day. I have been seeing all this happening since my 8-year-old childhood." He saw the truth in Rudra's eyes but after hearing his words he got a deep shock and he again sat on the sofa and started crying taking Anamika's name.

"Don't cry uncle, it is not your fault, the whole fault is of that village. But as far as I can understand, there is no fault of that village either, there is definitely someone who is bent on destroying that village and this Amma was a proof of that who died today by burning" Rudra said with anger and frustration.

Now Rudra started telling everything to that man. Even though it was difficult to believe Rudra's words, still that man was trusting Rudra completely. After listening to everything that man was stunned and said softly "So that is why the girl who used to live here earlier suddenly disappeared and you came in her name".

Now Rudra was stunned. "Can you tell me what else you know about that Amma?"

I don't have much information about her right now but yes I know a way through which you can get to know not only about Amma but also about your village but there is a little risk in that way."

"I am ready to take any risk uncle, you just tell me," said Rudra with passion. Then that man said, "Okay, you go from here to Haridwar, there you have to find out about a Tantrik, his name is Bhadra, I have heard that he is very powerful and relieves everyone's sufferings, whoever's head he puts his hand on, all his worries end. If you go and ask him for a solution to your problem then maybe something can happen."

"Okay uncle I am preparing to go there and I also promise you that I will try my best to get justice for your daughter," said Rudra with passion.

"Okay son you go, till you return Till then I will try to collect information about Amma for you" said the man keeping his hand on Rudra's shoulder.

Now Rudra started to leave the house without wasting any time but then he remembered the words of the policemen. He started thinking but then he decided because if he stays here for a long time then it will be a loss for him only.

Now Rudra was not in anyone's sight.

He left from there overnight and quickly boarded the train to Haridwar. Rudra thought that he would escape from there by fooling everyone but still there was a little fear in his mind.

After some time the train started moving after which his trouble and fear both reduced a little. Rudra took a deep breath in happiness and started smiling but then suddenly the train horn blew and after some time the train stopped.

Rudra was looking here and there when suddenly some policemen boarded his bogie and seeing Rudra shouted "Sir he is here".

Now Rudra could not do anything and he could have been jailed for running away. Slowly many policemen came to him and caught him and took him down and started taking him with them.

Rudra was thinking about running away from there when he heard the train horn again. It was about the train leaving after which he became even more disappointed.

Rudra was walking with them in despair when suddenly the dry grass bundles kept near the station caught fire. The fire started spreading very fast due to which some people also got caught in it.

"Leave him and take all those people out from there" said the Superintendent of Police from the other side. On hearing this, they left Rudra and started extinguishing the fire.

The train was moving at a slow speed after which Rudra ran behind it without wasting any time. Somehow he caught the train and then stood at the door and started looking at the fire.

As soon as Rudra looked there, he found that the devil whose head was on fire was standing at some distance from that place on his horse. Rudra was very surprised to see him and he started thinking that after all who is this and why does he come in front of me again and again.

Will Rudra be able to meet that Tantrik, who was that devil, why did he help Rudra to escape, who burnt Amma? Thank you
