Jaadu

36. Play of Words or Swords?

Beginning of the End

Aman and Kabir set towards the Kaala jungle for their answers.

They stopped in front of the entrance, Aman took the spear from the parcel and as expected it showed them the way. The way which no one knew.

"Aman, we know about this place since childhood but not in my worst dreams I thought there would be a hidden truth of our questions here." Aman nodded for his words where absolutely true.

"Bhai, life always stresses upon those which we most probably leave unseen." And the spear stopped in front of water stream.

"What happened to this now?" Kabir looked at Aman.

"I think that's the place." Kabir said pointing towards a fort which they never saw.

The duo crossed the stream with ease of their powers. Aman gripped his sword tight reaching the main door of fort. It was old and cult classical fort with rusting walls.

Aman opened the door with his sword. Yeah, his sword was the key of main door; irony He looked at Kabir and they stepped inside the castle.

"Marhaba" Duo looked at each other and then appeared a person wearing all white with a plastered smile on his face followed by a soul.

"I never knew, it would take this much time for me to meet my grandsons" Agha said looking at Aman and Kabir.

"We all underestimated Parveen when she loved a person like him but she did surprise us by hiding you all these 25 years." Duo was confused by his words.

"What are you saying?" Agha looked at Kabir who looked as if he already expecting him to voice out.

"Always the deficiency of surprise tone in you, isn't it?" Kabir nodded.

"Well, where to begin? Let me begin from the beginning and let me finish the ending too." Duo didn't miss the hidden meaning though nodded.

"It all began, many years ago, before your birth. Parveen was a Jinn." Duo shocked while Agha smiled. "Yes, she was a Jinn, that too the belonging of Royal family. But she did the sin of loving a human, your father. Then, your grandparents told her decide it's either love or family. But my innocent grandchild chose love. And she left our world. She's the reason for your magical powers, she's the reason for your sufferings." He concluded but will they believe?

"And how can we agree it's all truth?" Agha smiled at them.

"So it's proven true that you're capable of holding that sword in your hands." Aman gripped it more.

"I see, Rubina gave you a powder right. Open the knot baadshah." Aman opened the knot and yeah there's powder in it. He looked at Agha who is smirking in victory.

"Threw it on the wall." Aman did the same and then it become dark. It looked like a screen. They witnessed the same thing said by Agha. Duo literally shocked.

(Powder is the content of dibbuk in Chapter 14)

"Now you got proofs I think, I didn't tamper any as you had the powder not me." Duo were too numb to reply.

"But then why did she ruin her own daughters?" Kabir questioned.

"She said the truth, didn't she? Sh wanted to separate Aman and Roshni. So she hatched a plan of plotting Roshni and Aman will leave her. Everything happened according to her but you once again proved of being Baadshah." Agha replied.

"But why?" Aman questioned.

"Because Roshni is Ayana, and she definitely didn't want another risk in your life. After that planned incident, she didn't want Roshni again in your life. But life is not what you want. Roshni came again."
Aman looked at him.

"Why are you saying all this now?"

"Parveen, she protected you all and it was impossible for me to approach you. Now she's gone and you're in front of me." Aman and Kabir looked at each other.

"What do you want?" Aman asked.

"Simple Baadshah, I want you both. You're of my clan and to achieve my motive you both need to be killed." Soul closed the door.

"Coming to point, ain't we?" Aman smirked aiming his sword at soul who didn't even fear.

"Isaaq won't retreat giving himself for me!" Agha and soul had a wicked laugh.

"And you think they will come alone" Roshni's voice echoed.

Aman looked Roshni with shock as well as surprise.

"Lucky, that you too came here Ayana" Agha said looked at Isaaq.

Aman gave a vulnerable look to Roshni which she didn't care.

"Okay now, you should pay the price for being my blood." Agha signed to Isaaq for which he nodded in yes.

Isaaq himself turned into a storm and disappeared from there. Agha smirked seeing the confused look of them.

"Now, I presume that Baadshah knows how to duel." Amag gripped his sword tighter.

And the duel ended for what it felt like an eternity for Roshni and Kabir. The worst thing is that, they can't help but witness it being happen.

It's like they were enchanted to freeze and watch the play of swords.

Agha and Aman fighting against each other with all their force. The doors opened with a bang by Isaaq who had a small box in his hands.

Agha smirked looking at the box. Isaaq emptied the contents inside the box on the floor. Roshni and Kabir were in the trance of freeze while Aman was too far from noticing it.

Isaaq collected the spear from Kabir and handed it Agha.

Aman stood afar panting for breath. Though Aman is panting for breath it's the Agha who is on the losing side yet the smirk on his face didn't disappear.

They again continued the duel, Aman stabbed Agha. Isaaq stopped his work with a worry for his Master.

"Isaaq, continue your work." Agha ordered in his cold tone.

What's the red colour content in that box? Hope it's not what I'm thinking. Kabir thought and looked at his twin who is too lost in the duel to notice the red liquid flowing.

Isaaq found another spear on the floor and handed it to the Agha.

Agha smirked more wide. He took out another spear from his side and the three spears into a powerful single spear. Roshni looked at Kabir who was looking at Aman.

"I must appreciate your strength Baadshah but now it's high time you lived on this Earth. It's a farewell now." He dipped the spear into the red liquid. "Oh your twin and wife is wondering what this is.!" He pointed towards the red liquid.

"It's the laal chand, Baadshah. The weakness of Jinn and of course, my weapon to kill you." And he threw the spear aiming who was numb to react after knowing the truth.

It's fullproof plan. Agha initiated the duel to divert him and Isaaq worked on the plan. But Kabir? Roshni?

He looked at him who had an shocked on their face yet couldn't move.
