Till now we had seen that Varun was insisting to stay with Rudra due to which Rudra could not refuse him and took him back to the jungle. No matter how scared Varun was, he was not ready to leave him.
After some time both of them reached right in front of the graveyard. "Think again Rudra, once you go, no one knows what will happen next" said Varun fearfully.
As soon as he said this much, Rudra took his first step in the graveyard and with courage extended his hand towards him and said "Let's fight the fear inside us today". Now Varun also held his hand and stepped into the graveyard with him.
Darkness all around, no sign of the moon, sound of bats all around, Varun and Rudra were moving forward in the midst of that silence.
As soon as they took a few steps forward, they once again felt the arrival of the same devil. Then Varun said in fear, "Don't look into his eyes for too long, otherwise you might get burnt too". "Okay, but nothing will happen to me, I am sure", replied Rudra. Now Varun stood with his eyes closed and after some time that devil came and stopped right in front of them. Once again Rudra started looking at him and tried to recognize him.
Then suddenly he said, "What are you thinking Rudra, I know that you know me but you will not be able to recognize me so easily, just understand that there is no difference between you and me". Then in anger Rudra looked at him, "I am not like you, I have never killed anyone till date nor have I hurt anyone".
On hearing Rudra's words, he started laughing and shouting said, "Look what this man is saying, he has never committed any sin, he is like me, but he does not even know how many people have lost their lives because of him".
Varun kept his eyes closed during the conversation between the two of them Rudra was sitting. "Don't be afraid child I am not a devil who goes around killing everyone, I have some compulsion due to which I chose this job but now I am imprisoned here and that is why I met you in Bhangarh and brought you here so that you can free me" said the devil.
"But who are you and what is our relation and what do I have to do with your freedom" said Rudra with surprise. Then the devil smiled and said "Before leaving I will show you my real form once, after that maybe you will recognize me but before that you will have to free me with the help of that Tantrik".
Then Varun also opened his eyes and with courage looked at the devil. Even after looking into his eyes for some time nothing happened to Varun.
"This is a miracle, I used to think that whoever looks into his eyes burns to death" said Varun looking at Rudra. "You are right child, but I cannot do any harm to the one who has the knowledge given by that Tantrik. Years ago someone tried to steal the knowledge of that Tantrik and I killed him", said the devil with a small smile.
Hearing this, Varun started thinking why he told him this but then the devil said from the other side "Because he was none other than your father, a hypocrite".
Varun was surprised to hear this and also got angry because he called his father a hypocrite but he remained silent because now he also wanted to know how his father died.
After some time the horse of that devil started neighing. "Wait for some more time, after that both you and I will get peace", said the devil.
"But you did not tell me who you are" asked Rudra.
Then the devil said, "That Tantrik knows everything, even though he has corrected all his mistakes now, but at one time someone had used him too, go and ask him". He was saying this much when his horse neighed once again after which the devil went and sat on his horse with a jump. Now slowly the fire in his body and skull started to extinguish and flesh also started to appear on his skull. Rudra was not able to take his eyes off him, he wanted to know whose face was hidden behind that fire. In no time his face was formed, after seeing which Rudra was stunned once again and suddenly the words "father" came out of his mouth. Now as soon as Rudra stepped towards him, the horse kicked him hard and disappeared from there taking the devil with him. "What happened to you Rudra, you said something after seeing that devil but I could not hear properly, do you know him?" Varun asked curiously.
For some time Rudra was also unconscious after which he said softly "That devil's face was like my father".
Now after listening to him Varun's eyes were wide open.
On the other hand the face of that devil had put many new questions in Rudra's mind whose answer was very important for him to find and the only way for all that was that Tantrik Bhadra.
Now after that devil left both of them started going back from there with their heads down. Both had different questions in their minds, Varun wanted to know what mistake his father had done due to which that devil had killed him and Rudra wanted to know who he was and why his face resembles his father's, why he had killed so many people and why he considers Rudra as his own.
It was late at night and Rudra was not able to understand what to do. Then Varun said from the other side, "Don't worry, there is a temple here, I will call the priest there.
I know we will stay there tonight, as soon as it is morning we both will go together to meet that Tantrik". Will Rudra be able to know the truth about that devil, how did Varun's father die, why did that devil look like Aadesh? Thank you
