Ocean of Secrets

MURDER NO- 1

Writer's Note: This is the same story which I started in the title called 'Betrayal & Love'. I thought to write 15-18 parts for that, but considering some points, I planned to publish this story in THREE PART as a 3- shot story called OCEAN OF SECRETS

Mostly many gets to read this part, and two more parts are there 

------------

Khandwa forest area, Madhya Pradesh, India

"Other than, killing them. We don't have any other way, to take over the power of this forest and forest related areas from them" Chogan Pandey said

"Killing?" Achak Sharma asked in shock

"Then tell me, what's your plan to get this rule from their hands" Chogan Pandey said, while keeping his hand on Achak Sharma's shoulder, and continued " They won't allow us to do anything in this forest, as per our wish, and this people never gonna support us to become a chief of this forest. So, better to kill them, and we are next in the line for the chief, so we will easily become CHIEF"

Achak Sharma, just looked at the Chogan Pandey, as question like 'how much this works, as per his plan', to which Chogan, just nodded his head in assurance

"Dev ji.. Dev ji..." shouting this, few people knocked Dev Bakshi's hut's door.

"What happened, is there is any problem" asking this, Dev Bakshi comes out from his hut, following him, his family comes out

"There is huge fire at our Chief's house" One person said in a panicking tone, and continued "And we tried our best, but we can't put off that fire, and we are trying our best to control the fire to spread to other huts"

Hearing this, Dev gets shocked and runs towards their chief's house, while asking "Is everyone fine, right. You guys, rescued everyone from that hut's, right"

"No" the person said in painful voice

Hearing this, Dev stopped in his track in shock, and again runs towards their chief's hut, after composing himself once

Dev looked at the commotion in front of the chief's house, which were burnt completely and at the chief, who is lying there with 90% of burns, and moved towards him

While Chogan Pandey and Achak Sharma, tried their best with other people to put off the fire, and to prevent it from spreading to other huts

The crowd seems uncontrollable at that moment, as the fear of losing their chief with his family took over them, whom they followed blindly, whom they trusted mostly, because of whom, they lived fearlessly without any worry.

"Dev Ji..." calling this, Chief, who is in his dead bed, pointed his finger towards the small girl, who is standing near him and crying badly.

Dev Bakshi looked at the girl, who has burns, and her face is fully covered by the smoke

"I ... only saved her... Please take care of her" Chief struggled to speak, looking at his condition, the people lost their hope of saving their chief

"Please don't leave us, like this. We won't let anything happen to you" People started to shout and started to threaten the person, who is trying his best to treat their chief with available things and known techniques

Chief closed his eyes once, but his people's continuous crying and shouting, won't allow him to close his eyes in peace, Dev tried his best to control the people, "Who will lead us, if you left us, like this" one of them shouted

"Yes, who will guide us" the other one shouted

"We won't let anything happen to you. Please don't leave us" the another one shouted
