ENIGMA- 2

Conundrum Turn 2

"Who asserts that the absence of light is devoid of beauty?"

As Rasool visited the Jeweler's shop, the Jeweler read the words "আমার ভাই আমার ভালবাসা [আমাকে শক্তি এবং শক্তি দিন]" [Mera bhai Meri jaan [Mera Shakti aur Shakti do]] (My brother my life [give me strength and power]).. He also told Rasool a name is also written and the name was 'Ohit De and Oorja De'.

A long argument series grounded,  Rasool, feeling enraged, confronted Ohit and detained him, accusing him of being a traitor and causing trouble to the community. Ohit defended himself, claiming to be a journalist and denying any involvement in subversive activities or having a sister. Then he narrated his life story.

[It was 1776, and I was 18; I found myself in hospital. Mr Dobe and his wife saved my life and took care of mine; they taught me in Dhaka with their son; I don't know what's my background. In 1778, some governmental cop killed them because they dug their grave; in 1780, I joined the Bengal Gazette, and unfortunately, in 1782, the Gazette was put an end to it by the government.

I worked as a secret journalist for some local and underrated media houses but they also shut down too. Then I decided to be the voice of suppressed people. One day, we both got to know about MadIyapur.]

Rasool also detained Sahasranshu and inquired him, upon which he presented his perspective of Narration, "Yeah, we met in 1784, from then we became a good friend, and Ohit is suffering from Selective amnesia."

Being a cop, Rasool didn't believe them, but being human, he decided to take an eerie way to sort the matter.

In Manzilabad

Prayambad and Neel embarked on their journey towards the 'Alipatha near Alipath Road'.

Alipatha was inhabited by socially backward classes and was not well-known among the residents of Calcutta City. Throughout the journey to Alipatha, Prayambad meticulously recounted the narrations he had heard from different individuals.

Upon reaching their planned destination, they secured accommodations for their stay. Despite feeling restless and consumed by unwarranted anxiety, Prayambad was reassured by Neel that everything would be resolved.

They approached a local guide, Suresh, a jolly nature and muttering personality but Locally Knowledgeable. They asked about the whole mindset of the locals, and Suresh elucidated the environment.

Prayambad asked with a rigorous tone, "Do you know, a woman named Oorja De? Some 6-7 years ago, she used to live here," Suresh hissed and told him to lower his voice because the village considered her Inauspicious. Suresh told the whole scenario of Oorja's life.

[When Oorja was six years old and her brother was four years old, their parents were insensate from their life, and they became exanimate. Oorja, a six-year-old girl, feed her brother and looks after him. Some years, villagers called their Aunt CHITRANGADA, her heart was filled with negativity and a lack of emotions.

She was Mirasi, [What Mirasi Prayambad asked], Mirasi are those women who are known for their singing, dancing, and folklore. When Oorja De turned Ten, she sold her. She ousts Oorja's Brother, Ohit De, and we don't know where they are.

After eight years, Oorja came back, but within 2 years, her Aunt Married her off to an old creepy Man.
[Prayambad asked, "Do you know where she is right now?"]

No, no one knows about her and her brother and we don't even know to whom she was married.]

Now, Prayambad was tangled in one more troublesome and it was "Who is Ohit De?" But he shrugged off him and went to meet Chitrangada.

In MadIyapure

The Rasool's eerie way was, "From today you have only ten days to prove yourself as innocent. And I will not accompany you in your journey of proving yourself innocent. Any last word as a teammate"

Ohit said in a firm voice, "Mr Rasool Abid, yesterday night, Felu was the person to whom I ran after as soon as you arrest him then that will help me in the journey, as you state nothing we are to each other, from today whatever I want to publish I will publish and you are not going to stop me, And one more thing I am assuring you that I will keep an eye on the law then I will publish. You do your job and I will do mine without interfering in each other's matters. I never believed in any Patrolman but I don't know why I believed in you, and one last thing Don't be an emotional fool" and he supposed to leave but Rasool asked, "If I wouldn't let you publish as you are illegally publishing and I tell this to a government body, then?"

Ohit said, "Being Indian, you can do this much for your people" and he left. These words echoed in his mind but he ignored them and decided to catch Felu. Rasool commands his colleague to find out Felu and arrest him.

Upon printing an additional piece of paper displaying bellicosity, Ohit and Sahasranshu inadvertently depicted the government in a negative light. As a response, the government issued an Article declaring Ohit and Sahasranshu as the most wanted traitors.

Moreover, Rasool Imprison Felu, Felu shared with a visitor who visited while he was behind bars that Ohit was responsible for his imprisonment. This visitor, in turn, informed Talukdar, a figure known for hiring abductors like Felu for illicit activities such as human trafficking. Ohit had encountered Talukdar in the past, albeit indirectly.

Talukdar burst into pique and decided to spread a rumour against Ohit De through the Police. The rumour against Ohit caught fire, and everyone began finding Ohit, but fortunately, Ohit and Sahasranshu concealed themselves in the old barn.

In Alipath

Prayambad reached Oorja's Aunt's Shack.
