Part 83

"The face of evil is not one that appears in your dreams after listening to a horror story it's a face that can never be appear even in your nightmare, the evil is born without a face they just cover it with one "

vera: I was just asking

Rudra: vera Mohit's fiancee comes to her senses

Rudra speaks from behind, his cell phone still in his hand, might be still on conversion with Mohit, he was loud enough for Mansi to hear on the side too

Mansi: ok vera I talk to you later, I have put something off I need to complete that first

and she hangs up and then the expert call them inside and handed them reports, they both follow him, he stood in front of his desk pick up files, and handover them over with an agitated expression on his face

vera: so what is it?

expert: writing matches 100%

He answered and turned shocked deeper on the faces of vera and Rudra which they already bearing initally with having a slightest idea about the result

Vera was trying mansi's phone for the 30th time and was getting the same reply switched off, she went to the hospital directly and Rudra was banging at the door of Mansi but she was nowhere to be seen,her house was locked ,akriti was with Prachi and Nitin so they were not worried about her but Mansi was nowhere to be found her office was unaware of anything and they didn't have a single clue about what was going on, on asking around Rudra also found out that Mansi was the first one to write about all the articles relating to these suicides she was the first one to get her facts straight and she even received promotion owing to that

vera enter the hospital and run directly to Mohit's fiancee's ward he was also standing outside, why are you here, you are not going to check on her,

She was a mid way to reach her but she asked from a distance

Mohit: the doctor said me to wait for a while before he can check if she is doing fine

vera nod and also stand there with him, they both take the support of the wall and stick their eyes on the door of the wards

Mohit: did you hear, that Mansi was here

His eyes were still stuck on the wall and without any mixture of briskly in his voice he told her, vera's face turn ashen

vera: what? is your fiancee alright?

She was shaken a little and signs of clear solicitude runs on her face before mohit could finish his sentence

Mohit: yeah, he saw her he pointed at Sushant, and she left before we could stop her

vera: shit

the doctor comes outside and allows vera and Mohit to go inside, after a few seconds, vera was sitting outside with her head in between her hands when Rudra came running and stop in front of her,

Rudra: how did it go, did she tell who tried to kill her

vera: she didn't see who tried to kill her as that person was wearing a mask but

Rudra: but what?

vera: she tried to grab the hand of the person when that person was attacking her and she saw the bracelet on his hand which is similar

rudra: what

vera: which is similar to the one mansi wear, i still don't believe that it was mansi who was killing all these people

she again went back to her old position

Rudra: god i don't believe too, but i had a little idea after asking about her around everywhere that she is the one, as she is nowhere to be found, i had already informed at all stations and airports she definitely can't leave the country she won't be able to hide for a long time

everyone else also comes and gathers around them after sometime

Mohit: so what we should be doing right now, we have already alerted everyone and every possible next prey

Rudra: but you are forgetting one thing we have snatched one of her prey she won't sit quite she is already in the eyes of police so even if she have to get arrest now she will complete her half done work before that

Mohit: so you mean she will attack my fiancee agian

Rudra: could be or

Nitin: or

Sushant: or she might go after vera

Vera : me but why?

Sushant: comeon you are the one who was irritating her from such a long time why won't she say hi to her annoying buddy before saying hello to whole world in her true personality

Nitin: shutup

Sushant: ok i will but you need to provide security to her and his fiance

Vera: don't listen to him only nitin's fiancee need security right now, i think rudra is right she will come after her because psychopaths never leave their work incomplete

And everyone nods

After visiting everyplace and after alerting police all the traffic polic to keep keen eyes on the vehicles, and after informing and updating all the details about mansi to every railway station and airports vera finally returned to her house, on insist of Rudra, but he was still at the station dealing with some important stuff, she freshn up and get changed she sat on her couch and on her tv she was scrolling through random channels and was also scrolling thoughts in her mind, she didn't belive the mansi to whom she knew from a long time could do something like this, she never even in her dream thought something like that , she left tv on and went to kitchen to prepare something to eat after a while she return and switch to news channel she adjusted her cushion and sat there to eat when her door bell ring she was about to open the door when her eyes fell on mirror and a random thought run in her mind, what if it is rudra and she checked herself once agian in mirror and tie her loose hairs in a pony taila and apply a lip balm and went to open the door, but her hand pause on the door knob what if it is mansi she remember sushant's suggestion and decide to check first but and got surprised after checking from peep hole

She opened the door hesitantly and person standing in front of her smile at her

"What are you doing here prachi?'

Vera asked her not quite sure if that would be appropriate to start a conversation or not

" actually rudra was worried about you and i was also scared and was not sure where can i go so i thought may be if we hang out for a while it will ease the mood until we can get our hand on mansi"

She smiled slightly showing the perfect line of her white teeths

'Ok come inside"

She stand on aside and let prachi enter and then close the door eyeing the whole place to make sure if someone followed her

She points at couch and tell her to sit there and went inside the kitchen herself to grab a drink for her

Tea or coffe

"Black coffe" she replied from outside

Vera return with two coffee mugs and forward one in front of prachi for a few moments there was an awkward silent between them , then vera break the ice

"I am sorry prachi"

She said in a low tone but still fixing her eyes on the cup, prachi looked at her but didn't replied anything

" i should have said you this earlier, i don't know why i took this much time to apologize to you may be i was mustering up a courage , rudra tell me everything that it was not your fault"

"No vera its ok you don't really have to , anyone at your place would have done the same you just react according to the situation "

"Still i should have atleast listen to your expectation, rudra tell me everything
