WAR IN THE CURSED LAND✔️

33

Dev was unable to sleep properly. He woke up and splashed some water on his face. He checked the time and it's 4:00 am. He wore his shirt and kept his pistol in his pocket. He found Rajat who is also awake and ready for going . 

Rajat : morning sir ! I am ready. 

Dev gave his pistol and a satellite phone to him. Rajat kept them in his pockets. 

Dev : I will try to talk with those tribes and unleash all the secrets. With their help we can prevent such incidents even in future. Criminals like him should be scared to do such things. Every beginning has an end. Their bad doings will also get an end now. 

Rajat nodded. 

Dev : tell me if you find anything odd !

Rajat : ok sir ! 

He saluted at dev and  dev gave a small smile and hugged him. Rajat was taken aback but he managed to hug him back lightly. He gave a confident smile to dev and left. He walked towards that muddy road . Dev looked at rajat's retreating figure. 

Vinod : dev ! 

Dev : are you up ? 

Vinod : yes ! It was really cold here. I didn't feel like sleeping. When you are going to meet them ?

Dev : now !  look after everything. 

Vinod : ok !

Rajat opened the thermal scanner and checked for the presence of people in different paths. He found presence of humans in two paths. He went in one path and found only few men. He didn't find amukta. He went in another path and saw Jara. He messaged dev about that. Dev replied him to wait and watch them carefully. 

Dev assembled everyone went in that direction. As soon as they saw them they started firing. Even jara's men got alert and started firing. Jara ran towards the bunker in which amukta was imprisoned. He held her hand and dragged her with him. But she opposed him. He sighed and took out a bottle of chloroform and poured it into his hand. He closed her nose and mouth with his hand.  As the chloroform took control over her she collapsed. He lifted her in his arms and ran away.

Dev was knocking off every single man whom he saw in his path. His eyes are searching for 2 people.  At present he have equal interest in finding both of them. He walked forward after knocking down a dozen men. He saw a bunker. He found amukta' anklet in it. He took it and kept it in his pocket. He looked around but he didn't find anyone. This is again a muddy road with 5 inches water. So, there won't be any footsteps imprinted. He did understand what he is supposed to do now. He wondered how amukta is doing. Now jara knows that they came there. So, he might harm her. But Dev very well know that amukta won't let someone to take her life easily. She is a fighter and she will fight for herself. But he have a fear that jara might harm her because of the grudge he holds on him. 

Rajat : sir ! We searched all around this place. We didn't find them. I know a place on the other side sir ! But it won't come under our state. 

Dev : what ? Did we reach the border ?

Rajat : currently you are standing in Andhra Pradesh sir ! We already crossed the border. 

Dev : then get permission from their government. We must find him. He is a threat to the whole country. It is not something that is just about our state.

Rajat : ok sir !

Jara walked quickly and reached the waterfalls. He is currently standing at the edge of the cliff. It will take him few seconds to drop amukta from a height of 120 feet. She will die for sure because she is unconscious and can't even try to balance and swim in the stream filled with sharp rocks. But he gripped her tightly for not letting her fall down. He climbed down slowly and placed her in a small coracle on the bank of that stream. He pushed the coracle into the stream and started rowing it towards an another. A place which is very far away from dev. He didn't want to kill her at once and punish dev. But he wants to see fear in dev and amukta's eyes. He want dev to end up like that old man who roams on the roads and talks nuisance. He want dev to roam like a dog searching for amukta. He wants to see dev's emotional downfall. He looked at amukta who is gaining her consciousness back. He searched for the chloroform bottle but realised that he lost it somewhere. He cursed himself under his breathe.

Amukta woke up and looked at her surroundings. She is in a new place. A place she have never seen before. If at all she visited this place with her loved ones or all alone she would've been overjoyed. But she is feeling scared. She told herself multiple times that she shouldn't be scared and wore fake confidence.

Jara : eyy madam ji ! Are you loving this place ? Your husband was running here and there like a mad man for you. He could never reach this place. If you want to go back you have to listen to me.

Amukta didn't say anything.

Jara : If you keep on being silent i will kill you and give you as food for tigers. Be thankful that i am not going to give you to those tigers when you are alive. Imagine how they will pierce your body with their sharp claws and pull out your organs. Imagine that their sharp teeth are getting digged into your body. It's an amazing feeling right ? 

Amukta : instead of getting killed in your hands i will rather die by fulfilling a tiger's hunger.  

Jara gave a sarcastic smile. 

Jara : are you hungry ? You didn't anything right ? I'll get some fruits for you.

Jara jumped into the water and swimmed towards the shore and plucked some wild fruits. Amukta tried to free herself but she was unable to do anything. Jara came back with those fruits. He kept them infront of her . Amukta turned her face away.

Jara : I am promising on your husband. If you won't eat he will die. 

Amukta was frightened by listening to his words. He is kind of doing some emotional blackmail.  he removed the rope with which he tied her hands. Her hands are free but she is still unable escape. Jara smiled with victory because he is controlling her.
