As soon as it was morning, Rudra and Varun left to meet the Tantrik. They both had no idea what was going to happen to them there. Rudra was pulling Varun along quickly, he had to meet the Tantrik first.
Rudra reached there before the given time and started waiting. A lot of time passed but neither any person nor the Tantrik came. Rudra stood there in surprise, listening to the sound of footsteps of all the people coming there and getting disappointed again and again.
When a lot of time passed, Rudra started feeling angry and he started walking here and there quickly. "What is all this Varun, you said that he comes here every morning but no one is coming here" said Rudra walking around in anger.
"I told you that I knew and he used to come here every day, I don't know what happened to him today" said Varun in surprise.
Then Rudra stopped and said with a teasing smile "I have come today, so maybe he was scared that I might know everything about him, that's why he didn't come here, but how long will he be able to survive".
Immediately after Rudra said this, Varun said "No Rudra! There must be something very important, otherwise he would never do this".
"Yes yes, okay I agree, but I don't trust him that much" said Rudra laughing.
Varun was about to answer him when he noticed that a man was passing by them. He was the same man who used to wake up all the villagers every morning.
Seeing him, Varun shouted from a distance "Kaaka wait, Kaaka wait".
Well, Varun's voice reached his ears after which he turned around and saw that Varun was waving at him from a distance, after which he left without any delay. Then he turned his cycle and started coming towards Varun.
"Now uncle will tell us where that Tantrik Baba is, you see" Varun said happily. "If this happens then I will be the happiest" Rudra replied.
Now uncle came near Varun and stopped and said softly "What's the matter son, did no one come to this village or the city so early in the morning?"
"No no uncle! Actually I have come here with my friend, he wanted to meet Tantrik Baba. He has come from very far" Varun told him.
On hearing Varun's words, that man started looking towards Rudra and then said "But son, one cannot come here so early in the morning, then you are here..."
Then Varun said "We had come here at night itself". That man was finding Rudra's face a bit strange and he was trying to remember Rudra. "Your face looks familiar, I can't remember where I have seen you." Rudra was quiet and was thinking that if he told him the name of his village, then it would probably be the same as what happened in Bhangarh, but then Varun smiled and said, "Hey uncle, he has come from Udaygiri, it is very far from here." Rudra got scared as soon as he said this and started hiding his face. "Hmm! I think I am thinking too much. By the way, what work did you have with me?" uncle asked. Rudra's breath came after he said this much. Then Varun said curiously, "We wanted to ask about the Tantrik Baba." Then uncle looked at Varun and said, "Why are you asking me this, do you lack any knowledge?" Hearing uncle's words, Varun remembered that today was going to be the night of the full moon, due to which the Tantrik would come late and would stay there the whole night. "Sorry Kaka, it is my mistake, please go, I am sorry I wasted your time" Varun said smiling.
On hearing this Kaka also smiled and turned to look in the other direction. Just then Rudra noticed that the part below his neck was burnt.
Now he was about to leave with his cycle when. "Kaka how did your body get burnt" Rudra asked curiously.
Rudra's question shocked Kaka and he said while rubbing his burnt part, "Consider it my luck that I was close to the Tantrik Baba, otherwise that devil had almost burnt me that day. That day I saw that devil in his real form and he turned into fire in front of me."
"Son whatever happens but don't go to the graveyard at night" Kaka said fearfully.
After listening to his entire story, Rudra remembered that his face was very similar to Aadesh, which meant that Kaka thought Rudra looked like him because that devil's face also resembled Aadesh.
After Kaka left, Rudra asked Varun, "So what do we have to do now?" In response to which Varun said looking at the sun, "Just wait for a few moments".
Some more time passed like this. Rudra was not able to wait anymore, after which he heard the sound of someone coming from behind once again. "Varun, please see who is coming from behind, I don't think that Tantrik will come here so soon", said Rudra looking in the other direction.
After which Varun looked there and was stunned. When Varun did not answer him, Rudra looked back and found that Varun was standing with folded hands and that Tantrik was coming from the front.
In fact, his walking was much faster than any common man. The sound of his footsteps, a different smell of his body had spread in the air.
Rudra was standing and looking at him with surprise. As soon as the Tantrik was about to pass in front of him, Rudra's steps automatically moved back. Rudra also did not understand anything. He did not know what had happened to him.
As soon as the Tantrik came to Rudra, he came right next to him
The tantrik stopped in front of him and started looking into Rudra's eyes. Rudra looked very small in stature in front of him but still he was standing looking into his eyes.
After which the tantrik smiled a little looking at him and went ahead from there.
After he left, Rudra quickly took Varun to him and said, "I know that you know me, I want to know about that night".
Even after hearing this, the tantrik was calm and kept roaring loudly again and again. "I am asking you something, because of you that village is on the verge of destruction and you are enjoying life here", said Rudra in anger.
Hearing his words, the tantrik suddenly stopped and started roaring again. "Come O Kaal Bharav, come, come". Rudra was getting mad after hearing all this from him, after which he said in anger, "Where is my wife, tell me, I don't care about anyone else".
Hearing this from Rudra, the Tantrik stopped and started smiling while looking at him. "Please tell me where she is, my child is also in her womb", said Rudra with folded hands.
"Now you have spoken like an order, the blood is the same, so the same will happen, years ago to save you he sacrificed the whole village and today to save your child you are going to do the same", the Tantrik said in anger.
Rudra was surprised to hear his words. "It is not your child, he is a devil whom all those people have brought to this earth to destroy that village, he used you because of that curse given years ago, find him and kill him or free the village from the curse, this is the only solution you have", the Tantrik said to Rudra.
Now Rudra sat on the ground and started crying. "Did all that happen because of my father? It was my mistake that I sent my grandfather to that house, if he had not gone there then he would also have been alive today", Rudra said while crying.
Hearing Rudra, the Tantrik said, "Who is your grandfather? He was not your grandfather and neither was he killed after going to that house. . The one who killed him was your father".
The tantrik's words shocked Rudra completely, so much so that he was not even in a position to say anything.
How did Rudra's grandfather die, what was the meaning of the tantrik's words, what was the secret of that night, who was this tantrik?
Thank you
