In the mist village, Varsha wakes up and freshens up and goes to visit her siblings, as she enters the room where they are getting treatment, Neha still seems to be in her unconsciousness and Aaryan is reading a book, Varsha comes and sits beside him
"how's your leg, hero" Aaryan looks at her
"pretty well for now, have you talked with the village elders?"
Varsha with a smile " don't worry everything's gonna be alright !!, He will protect us"
"who do you mean, he?" Aaryan questions?
Varsha smiles as she utters the words "My hero!!"
she comes outside of the house and starts to search for Aditya , she sees him sitting under a tree and taking a nap,
she slowly comes and sits beside him "Nice place to take a nap haa"
Aditya opens his eyes " ohh, Varsha" "how's our village , did you like it"
Varsha with a smile on her face "I'm starting to love it"
seeing at Aditya's face "I have a doubt ,Aditya?" Aditya puts his hands over Varsha's shoulder " ya what Is it?"
Varsha holds his hands and asks him "what is this island? How many villages are there in this island? And why the hell they wanted to kill me soo bad?"
Aditya then takes a deep breath " hmmm , this is an small island, and in this island there are presently two villages, one is our village called 'the mist village' which is situated in northern side of the island and the other village which you guys escaped from called 'the abyss village' which is in the southern coast ,hmm there used to be one more village even though I have heard about that village in my bed time stories from granny, that village got destroyed 36 years back!"
Varsha looking at Aditya "wait, wait, wait, destroyed? who destroyed it??"
Aditya pulls Varsha towards him and makes her rest on his stomach and puts his hand on her hairs and starts gently playing with it
" even I don't know why that village got destroyed, my granny never told me the reason, even if I'll be the next lord of this village my father never tells me about the past, he just skips the question saying 'the past should die with us , you need not to carry that burden' but whenever I ask some elders one thing they used to say , that village used to do black magic so the mist village and the abyss village joined hands together to destroy that village"
Varsha adjusts her head and makes comfort place on Aditya's thighs
"so , if that's the case , why the hell is that abyss village people wants to kill me for their ritual , isn't that black magic?, can't the mist village destroy the abyss village?"
Aditya puts his hands on her head
"if there is an all-out war between our both villages , the more causalities will be from our village, as we have lots of women and old people."
Varsha regrets her decision "sorry, I never thought in that way.." and holds Aditya's shirt ,
Then Aditya puts his hands on her hand and says, "don't you worry , I won't let anyone lay a hand on you"
Varsha looking in Aditya's eye " can I sleep in your arms for some time, I feel tired"
Aditya holds her shoulders and pulls her towards his upper body
" you got tired just after waking up?" and closes his both arms around her and hugs her tightly " do you want me to carry to your room? ,even I'm feeling tired I'll be sleeping beside you"
Varsha slowly lifts her head and with a blush on her face
"I'll gladly accept"
Varsha then wraps her hands around Aditya 's neck and Aditya carry her to the room and gently places her on the bed. "I'll sleep on the ground"
Varsha lifts her hand and grabs Aditya's shirt. " there's a lot of place on the bed"
Aditya then smiles and makes himself comfort on the bed , Varsha throws away the pillow and pulls Aditya's hand under her head and hugs him tightly and goes to sleep , Aditya then slowly puts his hands on her back and holds her and takes a deep breathe
" god , this feels like heaven"
and both of them goes to sleep. After sometime Varsha hears some sound from outside , she gently hits on Aditya's face.
"Aditya , Aditya, Adityaaaa' getup, I think someone's calling us from outside." Both of them wakes up ,
Aditya opens the door to see what's happening. , as he sees he turns towards Varsha. " Varsha , I think you got an visitor"
Varsha gets shocked "what visitor, what do you mean by that???"
she rushes outside and what she sees in front of her eyes shocks her , it's her father, surya in flesh standing in front of the gateway with all the cuts and bruises on his face and body ,
Varsha as she cries starts running towards him "dad,daaaad,omg it's you ,ahhh" she runs and hugs him " dad , omg it's you, I thought I'll never see you again" and holds him lot stronger ,
then surya holds her face "you have been so brave , my dear , I'm proud of you" Varsha as she wipes her tears " dad , where's mom ??"
surya doesn't know what to say to this question , as he is thinking how to dodge the question ,
Aditya comes "Varsha , give him some time to rest, questions comes afterwards, uncle you can use that room to freshen up"
surya then heads to a room and takes a bath , from the moment they got caught in this village this is the first time he's taking a bath, as he pours water on him blood starts to come along with the water , his mind is completely fogged as he thinks how to convince his daughter to come along with him and after a long bath he comes up with an idea , he dresses up and heads towards where his daughter is, "Varsha!!"
Varsha turns "dad !! come have a seat, hmm yea let me introduce you to Aditya this village's head"
Aditya whispers "upcoming." Varsha then asks "yeah dad, you didn't tell me where's mom?"
Surya, in a rude voice " I want to discuss something with my daughter Can you wait outside?"
Aditya, with a smile on his face " yeah sure uncle, sorry for occupying the space in the first place, I'll wait outside" as Aditya is heading outside
In the quiet intimacy of the room, Varsha, her fingers delicately clutching the fabric of Aditya's shirt near his hand, gazed into his eyes. A vulnerable plea echoed in her voice as she softly uttered, "Stay."
The weight of unspoken emotions lingered in the air, transforming the simple word into a profound request for solace, connection, and the reassurance of his presence.
Aditya, captivated by the love in Varsha's eyes, felt a surge of empathy and understanding. " as the umm ya as the village head, I think I'll also stay here and hear what you have to say, Varsha's safety is my responsibility."
Surya then looks at him with an cold look " I know how to save my daughter , there's no need for you to save her"
Varsha then looks at her dad " dad, what happened to you?"
For that Surya pats on Varsha 's head "nothing my dear, I don't want anyone to intertwine into our life's ,our family's safety is all I need"
Varsha then questions him "dad, where's mom??" Surya then says,
"she's safe."
The villagers tortured us for some time, then threw us out of their village as we were no use to them. When we were searching for you guys, we found a boat near the east side of the island, I asked Ananya to hide near the boat and came in search of you, Let's go there. It's already too late, your mom will be waiting for us, where's Aaryan and Neha?"
Varsha with a dull face, says, " they have been wounded when we were escaping, I don't think they can walk as Neha has lost a leg and still unconscious and Aaryan is not in an very good position to walk"
Without delay, Surya says, "then let us both go for now, We'll get help from navy in the Indian Ocean, and I'll safely drop you and Ananya with them. I'll get help from the navy force or from police to save Aaryan and Neha, I'm pretty sure they will be safe in this village until I return."
Varsha observes Surya's hand shaking as he talks , but she doesn't know whether it is due to fear or he's lying , but there was no way she can doubt her own father. "Ok, dad, let's go."
Surya then holds Varsha's hand and rushes outside and suddenly Varsha stops. " let us take Aditya with us, he'll help us in navigating..!"
Surya said in a angry tone, " I know the damn route, we don't need any assistance."
Varsha, her eyes a reflection of unspoken emotions, suddenly turned towards Aditya. In that moment, her gaze spoke volumes, silently conveying a plea for him to accompany her. The room became a canvas for the unspoken desires and vulnerabilities that swirled between them.
Aditya then picks some draggers in that room. "ahhh, this should be enough, uncle. There are lots of animals from here to east coastal side, Maybe you were lucky as you didn't find anything while coming but we can't be so sure that you won't find anything while returning back, so on that case, as a village head, I'll assist you guys until you two reach the boat and go safely."
Surya has no other choice "as you wish, let us get going." all three come near the village entrance , Varsha looks in her dad's eyes. " dad , aren't you going to see Aaryan and Neha?"
Surya then says in a emotional voice, " I don't think , I can go with only you; if I see them right now, I'll see them as I come to save them, Now let's go; its already getting dark"
Varsha then runs to see where Aaryan and Neha were , as she reaches she came to know that Neha has not got her conscious back and Aaryan is deep asleep , Varsha slowly comes and sits beside them puts her hand on their head "I promise ,I'll come and save you guys" and starts running outside ,
three of them starts their journey, Aditya walks in front as Surya and Varsha follows him , they have been walking for three hours straight.
Aditya looking at varsha "Varsha, let's stop here!! you seem tired"
Surya looks at him quickly and says, "there's no time to waste, we have to reach by dawn."
Aditya puts his hand on Surya's shoulder. "uncle, calm down a bit, we will reach to the coast by dawn, no worries."
Surya pushes him away, saying, "you better watch yourself when you are talking to me."
Varsha looking at Surya "dad!! That's rude"
Surya then walks away,
Aditya comes and sits beside varsha both looking the opposite side come closer ,As Aditya's hand gently encircles Varsha's waist, a tender warmth envelopes them. Their gazes lock, speaking volumes beyond words.
"Will you forget about me, once you go to the city tomorrow?" His voice, soft and earnest, carries a silent plea, longing for reassurance amidst the impending distance. In that moment, amidst the fleeting seconds, Varsha's heart echoes a resounding promise:
Forever entwined, our souls dance in synchrony, etched in the fabric of time." And in the quiet intensity of their connection, they find solace, knowing their love transcends the boundaries of space and time.
Varsha turned her face towards Aditya, her breath mingling with his as their lips hovered tantalizingly close.
"You... can't you come along with me?" she whispered, her voice filled with a desperate plea, her heart laid bare before him.
Aditya's touch halted her advance, his finger a gentle barrier against the storm of emotions raging within. "I don't know if I'm ready," he confessed, his voice tinged with regret, his gaze haunted by the weight of his duty.
Confusion etched Varsha's features as she searched his eyes for solace, her heart aching with the ache of unspoken longing. "What happened?" she implored, her voice trembling with the fear of losing him.
As Aditya stood, his resolve firm but his heart torn, Varsha felt a torrent of emotions overwhelm her. "If that's the case, I'll stay with you," she declared, her voice a whispered promise, her love a shield against the uncertainties of the future.
With trembling hands, Varsha reached for him, her touch a silent reassurance amidst the chaos of their emotions. And as their lips met in a bittersweet union, she tasted the salt of tears mingling with the sweetness of their love, her heart overflowing with a kaleidoscope of emotions.
"I love you, Varsha," Aditya whispered, his voice raw with emotion, his arms a sanctuary against the storm of uncertainty.
"I loved you first, I love you forever," Varsha replied, her words a solemn vow, her heart aching with the weight of their unspoken dreams. And in that fleeting moment, as they stood entwined against the backdrop of eternity, their love became an eternal flame, burning bright amidst the shadows of uncertainty.
Aditya sees something behind him and pushes Varsha little back, Varsha turns and sees what it was.
it was Surya standing and seeing them having all that pep talks ,
Varsha smiles towards him "dad, I have decided to stay with Aditya!!, can you head back with mom and bring some help to save Neha and Aaryan"
Surya with a confused state of mind "ahhh, what are you talking Varsha , your mom is waiting for you, how you can leave her ??, are you aborting your own parents for a new boyfriend you just got?"
Varsha then comes closer to Surya and puts her hand on his chest " dad, it's not like that , Aditya has some important work that he has to do, I'll stay with him until it is done and I'll come to you guys, please just accept this one selfish request from your daughter"
Surya then hugs her "ok , you can stay here , but at least come to the coast and see your mother"
Varsha with a smile on her face " I love you daad!!, of course I'll come and give you and mom an sendoff"
Surya then looks at Aditya " better you take a good care of my daughter"
Aditya with a smile on his face "of course uncle you can trust me on that" then they three starts their journey ,
it's been a long four hour walk this time Surya stops "let's take some rest here"
Varsha sees a small well nearby "the water be bought is all over, there's a well nearby I'll go and see If there's any water in it"
Surya then asks Aditya to sit on a broken tree and Surya's walking behind him , Aditya sits with an little uneasy "uncle , is there anything you want to say to me?"
Surya with a sturdy voice "yes I do have one, my daughter who got raised in a city, I don't know how the hell she's gonna survive in this goddamn island"
Aditya then smiles "you need not to worry uncle , I'll take care of her more than as you used to" for Aditya's reply Surya just gives a sound from back side "ha haa"
Varsha standing near the well "Aditya, there's water in this well, I'll get some water for you" from this side Aditya screams "be careful, if any help needed call me"
A sinister canopy of twisted branches entwined in perpetual shadow, the dense forest murmurs secrets with rustling leaves, and skeletal trees cast elongated shadows that dance to the eerie symphony of unseen creatures. The air, thick with an unsettling stillness, conceals the forest's malevolent tales, shrouding him in a cloak of ominous suspense. suddenly sees an abandoned house little bit front of that well and turns towards where Surya was
"Uncle, I think we are coming in the wrong direction, this route goes towards the southern coast, not the east." "Uncle?"
Surya was not there when he turned. Suddenly, Aditya gets hits by a bamboo , so hard that he falls down the moment it hit him, blood starts coming from his head and nose ,
Varsha hears that sound and sees what's happening and she turns around She can see Aditya lying on the ground she starts running towards him. "Aditya, Aditya, Adityaaaa, what happened ?" she slides as she runs and holds Aditya's head "She turns around slowly, suddenly, a thunder splashes in that night. She can see Surya standing with a knife in his shaking hand and his face filled with anger.
"You really left me with no other choice"
Tears streamed down Varsha's cheeks as she pleaded with her father, her voice trembling with desperation. "Dad, why are you doing this? Please, let me live my life," she implored, her hands clasped in supplication.
Surya's twisted grin sent chills down Varsha's spine as he lifted the knife, his eyes gleaming with malice. "I just have to deliver you alive to them," he sneered, the blade glinting ominously in the dim light. "Losing a limb won't bother you, right?"
Panic surged through Varsha as Surya's foot pressed down on her leg, his words a cruel mockery of her pleas. "Dad, what are you talking about?" she cried, her voice rising in terror.
With a savage smile, Surya raised the knife, the tip poised to strike. "Be a nice girl and die for your mom's sake," he spat, his words dripping with contempt.
But before he could make good on his threat, Varsha's eyes widened in shock as she saw the glint of a dagger buried in Aditya's back. In a desperate bid for survival, she seized the weapon and plunged it into Surya's stomach, the force of her blow driving him back.
With adrenaline coursing through her veins, Varsha raced towards the abandoned house, her heart pounding in her chest. But Surya, driven by madness and fury, pursued her relentlessly, his footsteps echoing in her ears.
As Varsha reached the looming door, she frantically tried to force it open, but it remained stubbornly shut. With Surya closing in, she smashed a nearby window, the shards of glass scattering around her.
But even as she tried to climb inside, Surya grabbed hold of her leg, his knife slashing mercilessly at her flesh. Agony ripped through Varsha as she screamed in pain, her world spinning in a haze of terror.
Summoning every ounce of strength, Varsha fought back, hurling a stone at her father's face and sending him reeling. But as he continued to assault the door, she knew she had to find refuge or face certain death.
Crawling towards a nearby shelf, Varsha's trembling hands found a cloth, which she hastily used to staunch the flow of blood from her wound. But as she did, a book tumbled from the shelf, striking her head with a dull thud.
Varsha's heart pounded against her chest as she fumbled through the darkness, the book clutched tightly against her backside. With each thunderous crash, her surroundings flickered into view, offering mere glimpses of the path ahead.
Suddenly, the creak of a door pierced the silence, sending a shiver down her spine. She froze, her breath catching in her throat as she strained to listen. Through the blackness, she could sense her father's presence, his footsteps echoing ominously on the wooden floorboards.
In a panicked frenzy, Varsha darted into a nearby room, seeking refuge beneath the bed. The sound of her father's approach sent waves of terror coursing through her veins. With bated breath, she waited, her heart pounding in her ears.
As lightning tore through the night sky, illuminating the room in brief flashes, Varsha's worst fears were realized. Two looming legs stood inches from her hiding place, sending her heart racing with terror.
Suppressing a scream, Varsha watched in horror as her father's form materialized before her eyes. Before she could react, he lunged forward, his hand clamping over her mouth with a vice-like grip.
"Speak one more word," he hissed, his voice dripping with menace, "and I'll end you right here."
Tears welled in Varsha's eyes as she struggled against his grasp, the cold glint of a knife sending chills down her spine. With each word, his threats cut deeper into her soul, leaving her trembling with fear.
"I want my wife alive," he spat, his words filled with venom, "but if you insist on staying, I won't hesitate to let them take you."
Varsha's heart raced as she stared into the eyes of the man she once called father, his face twisted with rage and desperation. In that moment, she realized the true extent of his madness, and the depth of the danger she faced.
With a stifled sob, Varsha nodded in silent acquiescence, her mind racing with thoughts of escape. But as the darkness closed in around her, she knew that the horrors of the night were far from over.
Varsha pushes him back and comes near the window to jump off, Surya starts running towards Varsha and push her with full force , they both fall from the first floor outside on the grass, it's raining , Varsha 's back is paining , when falling she forced her father to go down first and she landed on top of him, and rolls a little bit far away, she can see her father is not waking up as he sustained a huge damage while falling, she slowly walks towards where Aditya was , it's still too dark with her wounded leg she takes her little steps, then she thinks to tie her father so he won't again go on rampage, she turns around and walks towards where he was, obviously she cannot see him as it was too dark, again thunder splashes, her father was not there , where he was supposed to be, she looks all around but can't see her father , the next thunder splashes , he was right behind her, he pushes her to ground and sits on her and points his knife on her as he was going to stab her , she takes out the book and keeps in front of her and the knife goes in between the book, Surya takes back the knife and again was going to stab and….
Aditya suddenly comes and holds his neck "Varsha, run away , I'll take care of him"
As Aditya wrestled Surya away, Surya pushes him away piercing the knife through his hand, he takes out the knife and goes for his head, Varsha's heart raced with terror and determination. With a primal scream, she lunged forward, plunging the knife into the back of her father's skull. The blade emerged grotesquely from his mouth, a macabre testament to the violence of the moment.
Collapsed beside her father's lifeless body, Varsha's cries echoed through the dense forest, a symphony of grief and horror. "Ahhhhhhaaaaa!" she wailed, her voice raw with anguish.
Aditya rushed to her side, his arms enveloping her in a tender embrace. "Don't worry, don't worry, don't worry," he whispered softly, his voice a comforting cadence amidst the chaos.
Varsha clung to him desperately, her tears soaking his shirt as she buried her face against his chest. The weight of her actions, the loss of her father, threatened to crush her spirit.
But in Aditya's arms, she found solace, a flicker of hope amidst the darkness. And as they stood together amidst the wreckage, their love became a lifeline, guiding them through the deepest depths of despair.
As dawn painted the sky with hues of soft pastels, Varsha and Aditya found themselves nestled against the comforting embrace of a solitary tree. The night's turmoil had given way to a fragile calm, but uncertainty still lingered in the air.
Aditya broke the silence, his voice tinged with concern. "Varsha, perhaps it's time for us to return to the village," he suggested gently, his eyes searching hers for a hint of agreement.
Varsha rose slowly, her gaze drifting beyond the tree's sheltering branches. But as she turned to look behind them, her breath caught in her throat, her heart skipping a beat.
To her astonishment, the landscape had transformed overnight. Where once stood only a single abandoned house, now stretched row upon row of dilapidated structures, their weathered facades silent witnesses to a forgotten past.
Varsha's eyes widened in disbelief, her mind struggling to comprehend the sudden change. "How... how is this possible?" she whispered, her voice barely audible amidst the rush of emotions.
Aditya rose beside her, his expression mirroring her bewilderment. "I don't know," he admitted, his voice heavy with uncertainty. "But perhaps it's a sign, a sign that it's time for us to confront the ghosts of our past and embrace the future together."
As they stood side by side, facing the myriad of abandoned houses before them, Varsha felt a surge of courage wash over her. With Aditya's hand in hers, she knew that no matter what trials lay ahead, they would face them together, united in their love and determination to carve out their own destiny.
Varsha looks at Aditya " I think it's the same village your granny used to say to you when you were young"
As Aditya ventured further ahead, his eyes scanned the desolate landscape, searching for any clue to unravel the mystery that shrouded the village. And then, amidst the sea of abandoned houses, he spotted something peculiar—an old wooden board, obscured by layers of mud and neglect.
With a curious glint in his eye, Aditya approached the board, his fingers tracing the coarse surface as he wiped away the accumulated grime. And there, revealed beneath his touch, were the faded words etched into the wood: "The Blood Mist Village."
A chill ran down Aditya's spine as he read the ominous inscription, the words resonating with an eerie sense of foreboding. The village had always been plagued by whispers of a dark past, but this revelation sent a shiver of apprehension coursing through his veins.
Turning back to Varsha, who stood a few paces behind, Aditya's expression was grave. "Varsha, we need to leave this place," he urged, his voice laced with urgency. "There's something sinister about this village, something that we can't ignore."
Varsha's eyes widened in alarm as she took in the gravity of Aditya's words, the weight of the unknown pressing down upon them like a suffocating fog. With a silent nod of agreement, she took Aditya's hand in hers, their fingers intertwined in a silent vow to escape the clutches of the Blood Mist Village before it was too late.
As Aditya walked ahead, Varsha lingered behind for a moment, her eyes drawn to something glinting on the forest floor. With a curious tilt of her head, she approached and found the book, its pages slightly crumpled and a small hole in the center.
Quickly, she scooped it up, a sense of familiarity washing over her as she tucked it safely into her bag. "Oii, Aditya, where are you going? Wait for me, I'm coming," she called out, her voice carrying through the tranquil forest.
She catches upto him and holds his hands " So , how are we gonna get the answers? "
"I think I'll ask my father to give me an answer this time!!!" aditya replies
After walking for several hours . They both sits to take some rest.
In the hush of the forest, amidst the whispering leaves and dappled sunlight, Aditya's lips met Varsha's in a tender kiss, a silent celebration of their survival against all odds. As they broke apart, Aditya's eyes sparkled with relief and affection.
"I'm glad we made it alive," he whispered, his voice soft with emotion, his heart overflowing with gratitude for the precious moments they shared.
Varsha's arms wrapped around him in a tight embrace, her cheek pressed against his chest as she took solace in his warmth and strength. "I don't care if my own father betrays me," she murmured, her voice steady despite the lingering pain in her heart. "I have you and my siblings. I don't want anything else."
With a shared understanding and a renewed sense of purpose, they continued their journey through the forest, hand in hand, their love a guiding light in the darkness. Whatever trials lay ahead, they faced them together, united in their bond and unwavering in their determination to carve out a future filled with hope and love.
they both return to village, as they come near the village , they can see lots of people gathering together , Varsha looks at Aditya "Aditya?"
Aditya rushes to the spot where everyone is gathered.
"leave space, let me get through,"
his heart pounded in fearful anticipation. And there, in the cold embrace of reality, he confronted the unimaginable—his father's lifeless form lay sprawled before him. A guttural cry escaped his lips, tearing through the silent air, as he fell to his knees beside the lifeless figure. "Father, father, fatheeeerr!" he wailed, his voice a desperate plea that echoed through the desolate landscape.
he questions the villagers, one villager comes forward " yesterday night as we were having dinner suddenly your dad took a knife and cut his throat in front of us, as the blood flowed he was laughing as he killed himself"
Aditya doesn't understand what he was hearing " chacha, have some scenes while talking, why the hell my father kill himself"
all the other villagers " you believe it or not , that is what happened" Aditya comes closer to his father's corpse and holds him tightly and starts crying.
As Varsha stood behind Aditya, the heavy air of grief enveloped them both. Words eluded her, lost in the suffocating silence that clung to the desolate scene. In the eerie stillness, her gaze wandered towards the distance, where Aaryan sat consuming his meal with an unsettling nonchalance.
Varsha's unease grew as Aaryan, seemingly untouched by the sorrow surrounding them, became an enigmatic figure lost in the shadows. The forest, a silent witness to the unfolding surrealism, held its breath as Aaryan's presence took on an unsettling aura, casting a spectral shadow over the already haunting landscape.
