#57. Daddy Issues

After a while Vanshika showed up at Naag Mandir.

"Listen, we need to go find naagpash before Jay and Chandrakala do. New Moon paas hi aa raha hai. This means, I'm going to start getting weaker and she's going to start getting stronger. We have two days. 48 hours. Naaglok mein time notice karna difficult hota hai because of zone difference. Earth ke 48 hours ke baad mera jo jaadu hai which alerts me to anyone associated with Chandrakala entering and exiting Naaglok, woh toot jaayega. That's when she can enter. Jay ke paas abhi naagmani hai. So, we have two mission to finish. One, find naagpash. Two, get back naagmani from Jay." Bani turned to Sam. "Don't mind me but mujhe tumhare baaki bhaiyo par itna bharosa hai nahi. Mujhe agar pure Singhanias mein se kisi pe bohot bharosa hai toh woh Veeranshu, Tapish bhai aur tum ho. Isiliye main tum dono ko apne saath aane ke liye keh rahi hun. You can sense the danger coming towards us. Toh I want you to be alert."

Sam nodded.

"Bani, par cheel enter kaise karenge Naaglok?" Vanshika asked.

"That is the second reason kyu maine sirf Veeranshu aur Sam se kaha rukne ko. Sam had been in contact with one of the variants of chakra. Uske effects bhi hote hai. Uske wajah se, Naaglok can't vibe up and recognize him differently as a cheel. Veeranshu toh abhi ke liye insaan hai."

"Ek minute. Tum chahti ho ki hum dono tumhare saath naaglok aaye? Into that pit of snakes? Jahan nazar ghumao, wahan saanp honge." Veer commented.

"Kya saanpo se darr gaye?" Bani asked.

"Excuse me, main kisi saanp se darta nahi. Tum hum dono ko naaglok mein le jaa rahi ho. Ek actually cheel hai aur dusre ka reputation hai as a ruthless serpent killer."

"Haan. Toh agar stakes high hai toh risk bhi high lene padenge. So, I'm literally hoping you both can behave yourself and for a while put aside your cheel side."

"Kaisi cheezein expect kar rahe ho? Bhabhi, the cheel side inside us is from birth. Par theek hai, aapka hukm sar aankho par." Sam commented. Sam and Veer gave each other a fist bump.

"Abh suno. I need you guys to pack a bag. Tum cheel ho aur Naaglok ka paani nahi pi sakte. It would be poisonous to you. So, get some water bottles, some food for 48 hours and some clothes." Bani told them. The boys got them arranged.

Bani used the ring to open a portal to Naaglok. She quickly closed it once four of them had managed to enter Naaglok. Veer and Sam both felt goosebumps on their skin. The smell of serpents was overwhelming. Sam's eyes turned golden in reaction to the overwhelming scent of snakes. Veer checked if he still had his weapons in check. 8-9 daggers that Veer has put up in different places. One in each of the four pockets of his jeans. Two daggers in each shoe. His cheel boots had in build daggers that could be flashed out with a strong stomp. They'd almost act as talons. Veer kept a spare dagger hidden away in his belt.

Veer whistled his tune while Bani and Vanshika led them ahead. Considering Bani was Adi-Naagin, all the snakes moved away from the path.

Vanshika and Bani first decided to go to the manor.

"Acha, listen. I don't think it is good idea for you to show up before nani. She'll go mad crazy." Vanshika suggested. She pushed both of them into the greenhouse. "Tum dono yahi rehna. Zyaada se zyaada yahan sirf Rishi and Kartik aayenge. Stay put here. We'll come soon."

"Waah. Kya treatment mil rahi hai hume. Seedha greenhouse." Sam commented.

"Agar tumhe Nani ki hostile treatment chahiye, then, by all means, please do come in with us. Next thing is that she'll have you two both kept inside the house. Bada accha drama hoga. Nani mere dad ko bulayengi and that will be some next-level drama."
