Mahal

..♡27♡..

Mrinali slowly limped into Rajveer's room and opened his cupboard while he and Piyali are at the gate of the Mahal.

" take care of yourself Rajveer, don't panic I know you will reach your goal" she said staring at him, but he didn't met her eyes, he still regret not able to confess his feelings to her.
He is not even able to muster courage.
His letter plan backfired, his mind is totally disturbed by that incident.

As he is in thoughts, she said,
" how's Hasmukh chacha, you went to meet him yesterday?"
" he is missing us and wanted to join back but he need some more rest, to recover completely.
I think he will return next week" he replied holding his bag tightly.

Mrinali rummaged the cupboard and find the key, she immediately secured it, " today I will loot the treasure" she thought but her eyes fell on the photograph which is kept beneath the clothes.
She pulled it out and find Piyali posed in it.
Yesterday's Conversation with Piyali, ecohed in her ears which made her blood boil.
" looks like this dumb is in love with this lady fox, but I will not let him succeed, I will inform Ranvijay about this
and he will show her the right place and I will get a full treat of entertainment watching that drama" she huffed putting back the photo.

She limped out and gathering candle and matchbox, she slowly started to climb the steps, holding the key safely.

She stood infront of the door, and eyed at it, " what if there is ghost inside.
No Mrinali, what are you thinking that Dhaniya is uneducated, a mere maid, these villagers made this story for their timepass,
Let's open this door and grab the treasure" she thought and looked at the key hole which is a the top.

She tried to stand on her toes to fit the key in the keyhole, but she stumbled due to her injury.
" I can't take anyone's help, they will ask share in the treasure if I do so" she sighed, and stared at her surroundings to find anything to stand on.
For her luck she find a stool and dragged it and slowly stood on it, making sure not to fell down.

She pursing her lips together controlling her excitement inserted the key and twisted it.
But nothing happened, she twisted again and again until she heard a click sound.

Rajveer got into car, while Piyali waved her hand at him with a warm smile, soon car left the premises.

" saheba, I need to go home my child is unwell" Dhaniya said startling Her by her sudden appearance.

Piyali sighed and said, " okay you can take leave", " thank you saheba" Dhaniya said and hurried her way out.

" how much time it will take more maa, I'm tired" Sakshi complained looking outside through the car window.
Roopali gave a smile and said,
" we will reach village by afternoon and from there we have to go by walk and we will go by evening I think"
Suddenly Sakshi's face became pale due to the traveling, she knows she have car sickness.
Immediately her mom gave her sliced lemon, and not even thinking twice Sakshi squeezed lemon drops on her tongue and squinted her eyes unable to bear the sourness.

Ira Majumdar is going through her old albums, her eyes welled up.
She can see Tara smiling widely in the photograph, she smeared it and said, " only if I know how to rest Sharmista's soul at peace, I can save your son Taru, but I don't know how, even searching for the solution all these years I don't got any answer, how should I save Ranvijay, the last Majumdar"
Deeply indulged in her thoughts she doesn't observed the shining violet stone on her hand stick started to glow suddenly.

Mrinali kept looking at the door, she can still hear the clicking sounds happening, " looks like this door have some inbuilt mechanism ", she thought slowly stepping down.
