Mahir's head started spinning at the scene before him.
"It's not possible" He whispered to himself.
"B... B... Bela...Bela, please get up. See this. Tell me this is a lie. This is not possible" He shook Bela but she was too weak to respond.
Mahir looked at Gracious whose health was too deteriorating. "Gracious not you too. Please get up" Tears rolled down his eyes. He was finding it hard to see them like that.
"Bela Gracious please get up" He yelled again.
But they refused to hear him.
The evil laugh continued to echo in the atmosphere. He looked back at the person standing behind him again.
He wished what he saw earlier was not true. But that was true.
There stood a lookalike of him with a devil smirk.
"If I am here then how can I be there too? " Mahir asked horrified to no one in particular.
He was finding it hard to believe it. Before he could think of a reaction, he found himself thrown away near Bela.
His back was hurt, his eyes were finding it hard to open. Whatever little he saw was the person looking exactly like him smirking to no end.
"Mahir Ji" Bela whispered holding his hand.
"Bela... Bela see this is another imposter? We together have to fight this right? " Tears again made their way in his eyes.
"No M... Mahir Ji you have to do it alone this time"
"Bela I can't"
"You can Mahir Ji. You can. If you can free me from that cage, you can catch me before falling, if you can face everything till here you can surely do this to " Bela was finding it hard to speak but she did.
"Bela... Please do some magic. I can't"
"I have lost all my powers, Mahir Ji"
"Wh... What when? "
"I have lost all my powers to you, Mahir Ji. As soon as we completed the 23rd wheel, I lost all my powers to you. And now you have magical powers too. Do this Mahir Ji. Do this. If you win you can save gracious and me. But if you lose, everything will be destroyed. You have only one chance Mahir Ji. Only one chance. " She said with difficulty, her eyes were closing.
It didn't take much time for Mahir to realize that since gracious was connected to Bela, her health was getting deteriorated too.
He only wished he don't need powers. He only needs Bela.
'Give her all the powers. I don't want them. I just want Bela to be fine.' he prayed lying beside Bela.
From his peripheral view, he saw something above them. He looked straight to find an axe was free-falling on them.
