Soon midnight came. Sisir was waiting for the danger to come. Suddenly, he heard a hiss sound. He became alert and started to look everywhere. He looked at Andrea 's direction and realized that it was coming from her. He slowly started going near her. He heard a small type of music coming from Andrea. Out of nowhere, a small black rope started to come out from the queen's right nostril. Sisir was shocked. The music become louder. So, he quickly closed his ears by putting cloth in it. Soon due to the cloth, he didn't hear any music. When he looked up, he nearly had a heart attack. He saw that the small black rope had turned into a huge snake and was charging towards him. Sisir quickly took actions and prevent the snake's attack. The snake was becoming larger. So, before it can again harm Sisir, he cut the snake with the help of his sword. The blood from the snake was black and it was spread everywhere. On the floor, on the bed, on Andrea and Sisir's clothes as well. Sisir soon regained his senses. He had solved the mystery of Noemi. The snake was the cause of the death of all the kings. It would produce a sound which will hypnotize the previous kings and attack them. Andrea was still sleeping peacefully without caring about the surrounding. 'she is a heavy sleeper.' Sisir thought. Sisir was also feeling sleepy. But, he didn't sleep. He thought that a new danger may arrive at any moment. So, he waited all night.
Soon, morning came. And we can say that Sisir didn't keep his promise. He was sleeping like a baby next to the queen. He had just slept. Andrea woke up, stretched her arms and yawned. But the next moment, she sighed deeply. She thought that Sisir had also died like the others. She had liked Sisir's company last night, was proud of him for not taking advantage of her and respect her decisions. When she turned around, she saw Sisir sleeping peacefully near her. She thought that it was his dead body. She slowly went towards him and caressed his hair. she said in a slow voice, "I had really high hopes that you would be the one to remove this curse. I had hope that I would get my freedom back. But, I guess faith has other plans for me. I hope your soul would rest in peace and I will have to live with the guilt of taking many lifes." She didn't notice that Sisir was awake and was listening to her carefully. He slowly opened his eyes and said in a low voice more like a whisper, "I am alive Andrea" When Andrea looked at him, she panicked and screamed on top of her lungs. "AAAAHH HOW THE HELL ARE YOU ALIVE. GHOST. MUMMY." Cause who wouldn't scream when the person you thought was dead, suddenly starts speaking to you. She kicked Sisir out of the bed with her full force that poor Sisir landed on his butt on the ground.
(A/N: poor thing.)
Sisir also made an ouch sound. Before they can process anything more, someone knocked on their bedroom door. Sisir stood from the floor, looked at Andrea for 2 seconds who still look shocked and began walking towards the door. He could hear people whispering to each other behind the other end of the door. He slowly opened the door. He noticed that a few people had been waiting for him outside. He slightly smiled at them. But, he didn't expect their reaction upon seeing him there. The people looked like they had seen a ghost. Suddenly loud shouts and screams can be heard from those people. "OH MY GOD. GHOST. THE CURSE HAD BEEN WORSE. NOW WE HAVE TO DEAL WITH GHOSTS OF THE DEAD KINGS AS WELL. FORGIVE ME GOD IF I HAD DID SOMETHING TERRIBLE. BUT, I STILL HAVE THE DESIRE TO LIVE IN THIS WORLD." While one person was screaming this, another person started shouting as well. "SHUP UP YOU SHORT HEIGHT MAN. CAN'T YOU SEE THE KING IS ALIVE. THE CURSE. THE CURSE HAS BEEN REMOVED. WE ARE FREE. OUR KINGDOM HAS RECEIVED ITS RIGHTFUL OWNER." By saying this, all the people who had gathered around Sisir's room began to dance.
Where our Sisir thought, 'hye bhagawan. Hya ke hudai cha bhane? Jun manche haru le hizo samma malai sarpa bata tokayera marna kozeka thiye. Ahile tehi manche haru ma zeudo chu bhanera nacchi rakheka chan. Hoina nache pani ramro nachnu ni, Bausi chade jasto ke nacheka chan bhane. Hijo mahile lagayeko anuman satya rahicha yo taau ka sabai manche pagal chan. Pahila meri afnai budi le malai khat bata la-to hanera kasali. Ra ahile malai bihana na bihana Andrea ko anuhar pachi, ee manche haru ko dance herna pari rakheko cha. Hai mero zindagi.'
Translation: 'oh god. What the hell is happening here? The same people who wanted to kill me by serving me to the snake. Now, they are dancing in joy in the news that I am alive. Even if they are dancing, they should dance evenly. Why are they dancing like they just got possessed by some street dancer's ghost? The thing that I guessed yesterday that they all are mad and should be admitted to the mental hospital was true. At first, my own wife kicked me out of the bed and now the first thing I saw in the morning is Andrea 's face and these people's dance. Oh my dear life.'
(A/N: Sisir be like - "I didn't sign up for this.")
Sisir mumbled a small stop but nobody listened to him. His patience was running out. And we all know that an angry Sisir is not a good Sisir. But before he could say anything. He heard someone shouting from hid behind, "STOP DANCING LIKE POSSESED SOULS, WILL YAA.AND DO YOUR FUCKING JOBS INSTEAD OF STANDING HERE. OH GOD. HOLY SHIT.MY POOR EYES. WHAT SINS DID I DO TO SEE ALL THESE NONSENSE"? he said while rubbing his eyes.
(A/N: lim ju kyung's brother is that you. So, who has watched true beauty.)
