He was standing before her holding a set of blankets, she moved aside her heart still beating rhythmically echoing Abhi's words. She closed the door, and looked at him while he was rolling out the blanket on the floor.
"Lord.. this?" She pointed at him,
"I am really sorry, to avoid suspicion we have to sleep in a room but I promise I won't disturb you."
She laughed at his innocence, " I believe in you lord."
"hmm, can I ask you something.." he was a little hesitating to ask,
"You tell me," She was curious about his hesitation.
"Since we know each other, can you.. can you not call me lord anymore. It makes me feel like I am a stranger. Just call me Yuvi."
"Yuvi??"
"Hmm, it will avoid suspicion."
"Am I that bad at acting? you are always afraid of suspicion."
"No.. No.. You are really good." that I am falling for you; he whispered.
They both were looking at each other as the situation was beco
Of her old habit, she got up early and thought of practicing dance for an hour, a method she came up with to work on her martial arts without being noticed. She chose the garden amidst the mansion and beside the resting chamber to witness her dance. It already became her favorite place in the whole mansion. Last night there was a small downpour and the garden was full of flowers with dew drops swinging in its petals. He got up and looked around searching for her. He was walking around the mansion meeting others and felt she was near. He paced up and looked around, his instincts led him to cross the corridors and he passed through the garden. He was stunned at her grace. She was dancing round and round, her scarf flowing with pace around her body, the whole garden and himself witnessing her beauty and the reflection of rising sun rays falling on the dewdrops sparking with her gestures. his heart skipped a beat and he felt she was an immortal descended to earth. She paused and
A big crowd was surrounding the mansion when they reached the scene. They entered the mansion with their noses covered with masks as they could smell the pungent smell of blood everywhere inside the mansion. It was an uninhabited one for years. "Lord, this is the court magistrate of Dashur. He was missing from last night." Yuvan's face darkened out of anger. He tightened his fist, while asking Charan to clear the area. The corpse was lying on the ground facing the roof with his face and lips swollen. He looked like a white ghost with a very pale face. Yuvan asked them to move the body for post mortem. When they moved the body, a white rose fell from his robe which had petals dipped in blood. Yuvan's eyes bulged due to shock. Abhik hurried and picked it, "bruddah, this...??" "Did anyone touch or change the body or any things present?" his anger echoed in the ruins. "Replying to my lord, the crime scene is well preserved as it is an uninhabited
Charan returned to the secret path and saw them standing like statues without any sign of life. He was worried and went near, "what happened, Lord?" Abhik pointed his finger towards the table in the middle of the hall. Charan's eyes got struck all of a sudden as he couldn't believe his eyes. He went near the table and picked the white lily laid beautifully on the table. "Lord, this??!!" "Yes, it's her; the serpent queen. The opponent who started this game with us is none other than the commander, Amanya. Abhik, Charan search the entire room." He ordered in fury. At the same time, Charan looked at the table where the flower was laid. Beneath it, some sheets of paper were kept. "Lord, take a look," he handed over the papers to him. Yuvan had a speed run and said," Stop the search. We got what we needed. They already prepared it for us." "Bruddah, then what next?" "To the coroner's hall". They saw him.. Ashok, the coroner sitting
"I heard from people that the magistrate was killed brutally and a rumor that it was by the serpent queen!" She said it with a straight face filled with fifty percent of satisfaction and the rest with sarcasm. "Lord, don't tease me." "Final result?" She had a fast conversation with him in sweet gestures but rude topics. "He was tortured and bled to death. According to your order, we kept a lily." "Maybe it's karma that he has been tortured by you before and after death." Abhik was back with Alok introducing him and then they went for a tea in the garden meanwhile Alok went back to his study. "Abhi, you look really exhausted, what happened?" "Apu di.. don't ask. It's simply a disaster warning. We are going to face a big case. That is the only thing I can say by now." "Fine, no problem by the way, your brother.." "Did you really miss me or worried about me?" A hand from behind patted her head. She looked up and it
Charan was not in his full form and was lost in his thoughts. After a while he suddenly had a conclusion, "Lord, I firmly believe that there is a cobra among us. They are not gods so how can they predict everything before hand." "Charan, you still don't believe Apu di??" "No Abhi, I am just stating a possibility." After listening to them, Yuvan was silent but then realized this conversation is not going to end and if she overhears it then it won't be good. So he decided to meddle in. "Stop!!, he stood from his chair and walked towards them, "Charan, do you believe in yourself?" That question left Charan speechless for a while and he slowly nodded. He continued, "Then believe in your master and his choice." In the midst of their conversation, they heard a knock over the door; " It's me, Apeksha." That was unexpected and Abhik opened the door for him. She entered and realized the room had a dense aura. "Sorry to disturb you. I bought some tea for you gu
She looked at Yuvan in disbelief, " Lord, I don't believe you are interrogating me now just because you suddenly became curious about my background." Yuvan sighed and shared his thoughts with them, "Apu, do you know about your commander?" "Of course, I know. Lord, don't forget my nationality, not to mention my family background." Yuvan stood from his chair and took the white lily, now almost withered and presented it to her," then, do you know what it means?" She took it from him and carefully observed it for a while and then sniffed it. Her eyes bulged from shock, "It's our commander. Her symbol of identity." "Then who else can use this?" "else!!, Lord, even the king of Hiranga won't dare to use this." Charan interfered, "There are many lilies available in the market, why are you sure about it?" "Yes di, and why did you smell it just now?" "That's because of the unique scent." "Unique??" "Yes, Hiranga has a ceremony called the
Ashok was lost in his thoughts and found himself in a sarcastic environment. He stared at the corpse ," Do you know what is the worst thing that happens to you when you are waiting for justice to be served; it's when you found out that the savior and punisher are the same person. As your messenger from hell, let me tell you, you won't get justice in this life because you don't deserve that word even for three incarnations and you know why, because you hurt our commander's saviors. " He stayed for a while and thought his sight was getting on his nerves. He walked out and stood at the threshold of the room leaving him in the room full of regrets as he believed corpses still had life and could hear and see until they were bid farewell and buried. He saw a bleak image of three to four people walking towards him. It was them. They came near but he was puzzled at the presence of his commander. "Good morning Ashoka." Abhik greeted him. He pointed at her , "siste
The street was bustling with crowds. Yuvan walked side by side with her, with every shop passing them he was desperately waiting for her to pause and look at it so that he could buy for her. But it seemed there was no sign of fulfillment. She was deep in her thoughts. At last he decided to break the silence as it was not easy to spend time with her alone nor did he know about the future. "Apu, are you hungry?" He paused in front of a hotel. The aroma of different delicacies filled the area. She looked at him and realized that she was silent all the way. She looked around and walked in the opposite direction, and stood before a small food stall run by an old lady. Even though his idea was rejected, he felt really happy. She pointed at a box of cookies, and he bought it for her." They continued their stroll and walked towards the outskirts of the street. "Apu, why didn't you eat at the hotel, I could see you are really hungry." She extended the box towards him and he p
