Five years passed like waves flowing towards the sea, my life is moving like a river that made paths through the rocks and valleys, nourishing every life staying on the bank of the river. My daughter Anagha is ten years old. I am forty years old now. I retired from the military five years ago. I am still an agent of the Indian police squad. Due to my performance in so many cases, I got into the secret squad team of the Indian Police Academy. After retiring from the military, I stayed home for a year.
It is boring work to stay at home. My identity is not revealed because of the complicated cases I solved. The Police Academy appointed me to a college where I am a professor. This is only to keep my identity secret.
We settled in Bangalore because Arundhati arranged a house here and we have branches of our organization only in Bangalore, Mumbai, and Delhi. We have chosen the place near to the KR Puram because the area is good and affordable, we bought a 2BHK house and it has good privacy. After marriage, we went to Punjab and stay with my parents, until I retire from the Military. Then we got new jobs and we came here.
Arundhati and Suresh are still in the same company, they started getting very good work after they submitted the report on Griffins they have now opened an online freelancer company and started preparing the reports their children are now completed tenth and they are taken the art field because one wants to be journalist and another wants to be a professor in the college. Pranav wants to be a journalist and she wants to be a professor.
Moana is now a private detective agent of the Bharat Detective Agency of India. It is one of the agencies which take cases like corporate investigation, like black money, and illegal malpractices in the corporates, also they take care of the wrong accounting problems in it.
They take care of matrimonial investigations like fake partners, cheating people online, etc. A very secret thing about this agency is they go to secret places and investigate the cases like human trafficking, drug dealing, illegal export of gold and silver biscuits, etc. They investigate the cases of paranormal murder and mystery cases.
One day as I was sitting on a chair in the evening and feeling the warmth of the sun that radiates, my skin was illuminated by the light. I want to stay there forever, with my family in this life, she is the only one my soul feels so safe with. She is my heaven and I can be hers. As I was relaxing because my work is completed soon today I reached home and had a masala tea in the evening.
Moana does not return home maybe she got extra work. I received a call from an unknown number and I attended the call and ran away to the place where he called. I called the police department and told them to track the call. I got information that the call came from the area away from an old chemical factory situated near the KR Puram Railway station and it is a place away from the city.
The person who called me said that some persons are captured inside the factory which includes women and children, they are not threatening them, and demanding any money they want and the authorities should fulfill their demands if they don't fulfill the demands then people who are captured are killed.
I reached the place, and to my surprise, I saw that the place is remote and the forest is behind the factory. Upon the forest floor lie trees of yesteryear, fallen in storms long forgotten. The seasons have been harsh, stripping away the bark and outer layers, yet rendering them all the more beautiful.
They have the appearance of driftwood, twisting in patterns that remind of seaside waves; even the color of the moss is kelp-like. Insects are chirping oncomes in lulls and bursts, the silence and the singing working together as well as any improvised melody.
From the rich brown earthen hues of the forest ground to the sweetness of the black sky, the forest is a three-dimensional wonderland for the eyes who are willing to absorb the light. This forest is filled with broken wood and leaf, among the giants whose roots hug the earth. It is a place of ancient souls, of the creatures who dwell with the sweet sounds of moving water and bird song. Somehow this is more than a home.
I understood that the place is filled with a magical aura everywhere. So, there are creatures like me has existed, and they are doing all that for something good to happen. I felt a positive energy everywhere. So, the demand is something complicated. Let me investigate the case myself. I called the police squad and was told that the situation is dangerous, and not to take action until I say.
When I enter the factory. I was shocked to see that Moana and Anagha are also among the captured people, but why I have not got the message through the chip encrypted in me? I remember that it will shake only when she is in danger, so that means she willingly put herself in danger.
I become very angry with her but this is not the time to be angry, I have to play according to the creatures in there. I controlled my anger and went near to a person who looks like a leader who is approximately 6.5 feet tall and told to him," I came from the government authority so that I will listen to your demand and fulfill your wish.
The person's eyes are only visible to me, he wore a mask and holding the gun. Suddenly a little girl cried holding her mom and said," Mom I am feeling very hungry I want to eat am starving, her mom cannot able to explain anything because she fears speaking. The man went to one of his people and told something, I cannot able to listen to what they are saying.
The person went inside and bought some biscuits and chocolates and gave the little girl mom. She has taken it as a surprise and fear and fed her daughter. I am also shocked to see his act of mercy towards the girl, even the human don't do this thing if an incident like this happens. I went near to him and said, "I am Rudra, kindly leave them to see how they are frightened and weak don't you feel pity on others, believe me, I will fulfill your demand and stay with you until authorities accept your demand and I also help you in it. What will Rudra do to rescue them? What will be the demand of the people? who are they? For all updates stay tuned with me.
