WAR IN THE CURSED LAND✔️

34

Dev got permission from AP Government for crossing the border. Vasudev spoke with the higher officials and took permission from AP government. Dev and his team are searching every corner of the forest . After reaching a certain point they had to stop because that is the extent upto which a human can walk normally. After that point the forest is much more darker and dense. Dev dared to go forward but vinod stopped him. Dev was very adamant but vinod stopped him by saying some good words. Dev banged his fist to a tree. 

Rajat : sir ! Please calm down sir.

Dev : how can i stay calm rajat ? He is using my wife as a pawn. He don't even have enough courage to face me directly. That is the reason why he is hiding behind my wife.

Vinod : hey ! Is the thermal scan still unavailable ?

Rajat : yes sir ! 

Dev : let's find an alternative road. There must be a way to reach the other side. There must be a way for crossing this dense forest. There must be someone who knows that and will help us for sure. 

Rajat : who will help us sir ? 

Dev : kali ! 

Vinod : yes ! He will help us but there are chances for him deceiving us. 

Rajat : i have an idea sir. Let's kidnap his girlfriend. I mean let's just do that for getting our work done. We aren't going to harm her right ? 

Vinod : then what is the difference between them and us ? Kalavathi is a criminal . We can use her as a pawn but not some innocent girl.

Dev : I think he won't deceive us if we follow amukta's idea.

Vinod : which idea ?

.........

Vinod came out of the forest and went to the jail where kali was imprisoned. He asked the jailer to bring him out. 

Vinod : don't let this news come out. Ok ?

Jailer : ok sir ! 

Kali : why did you call me sir ? 

Vinod injected something on kali's neck.

Kali : sir ! What is this ?

Kali asked with a high pitch.

Vinod : don't shout ! It is a toxin that takes control over your body slowly. If you help us i will give the antitoxin to you.

Kali : what ? 

Vinod : yes ! 

Kali : I never thought you people will do something of this sort.

Vinod : i too never thought i would do something like this.

Kali : what i am supposed to do ?

Vinod : did you get the news that your boss escaped from the prison ?

Kali : yes ! I heard few people talking about that. You people are extremely cautious about his security. You guys have let a notorious criminal to escape.

Vinod : can't disagree. He caused a huge problem. He kidnapped amukta.

Kali : DCP Dev's wife ?

Vinod : no ! Forensic expert Dr. Amukta who is married to DCP Dev. She have her own identity other than just being his wife.

Kali rolled his eyes.

Kali : I don't think this is the right time for showing support to feminism. Concentrate on the main point sir ! 

Kali told with a straight face.

Vinod : we want you to help us in finding him.

Kali : ok ! But what if you won't give the antitoxin after that and let me die ? 

Vinod : I am not the one who is going to give it to you. Amukta knows where it is. So, you have to find her if you want  to be alive. You got 4 days time.

Kali : fine ! 

Vinod : change your clothes and come. I will wait for you.

Kali nodded. A person brought a set of clothes for kali . He took those clothes and went for changing. He came back and saw Vinod is smoking.

Kali : sir ! 

Vinod : come !

Jara was busy with admiring the courageous woman in-front of him. He expected that she would cry and beg him to leave her. But she is being silent. That silence is something that is scaring him to the core. He is not understanding how she is able to stay this calm. He wondered if she is really happy with her life. 

Jara : what madam ? It's been 2 days since you saw your husband. Aren't you missing him ?

Amukta turned her head away. 

Jara : he looks like a good man right ? Is he really good or just wears a mask ? I have connections with many lawyers.

Amukta looked at him angrily. If looks can burn someone he would have turned into ashes.

Amukta : undoubtedly he is a good man. He is a human form of god. He is an ideal man like lord Sri Rama.

Jara : ooh ! Then you must be goddess sita right ? Then who am i ? Yeah ! I am Ravana indeed. Kalavathi is surpanaka. Am i right ?

Amukta : true ! 

Amukta told with confidence as if it was a matter of fact. Which is indeed a matter of fact.

Amukta : do you know something ? You are destined to die because of me. You did a grave mistake my abducting me. Dev won't spare you. 

Jara : really ? I am getting scared.

Jara told by mimicking amukta's voice.

Amukta : yes ! You are scared of my husband. That is the reason why you brought me here. So, that you can blackmail him. Am i right ? I am sure every single follower of yours are either dead or behind the bars by now. You don't know how dev's actual rage looks like. 

Jara stamped his leg hardly causing the coracle drowned into the water causing amukta to fall into the water. He too fell into the water and started swimming to keep himself floating.

Jara : shout for help ! Your dev will come and help you. 

Jara started laughing loudly. He didn't get any response. He got scared because he thought that she got drowned. Suddenly amukta came up with a handful of sand and threw it into his eyes. She threw  it hard enough to make his eyes go blind for a while. she tied his hands too . He screamed loudly. He searched for her but he didn't find her. Suddenly he felt something  pulling him by his legs. It's a rope which is tied to his both legs and the other end is tied to a tree on the bank. After few minutes he gained his vision back. He saw amukta who is on the other side of the bank. He got stunned by her intelligence. If he have to free himself he should go to the other side of the bank and free himself and swim again to reach the another side. He felt like he dig his own grave by tying her up by rolling multiple  layers of rope on her hands and legs.
