The Fall of the Evil

Chapter - 4

Raghav was sitting outside the house thinking about his future. Manveer saw him and sat beside him.

Manveer: What happened Raghav? You seem lost.

Raghav: Nothing like that Manveer. Just like that. Why are you here? I thought you will be busy with your finance.

Manveer smiled and whispered,

Manveer: I just met her and came.

Raghav: ok ok.

Raghav: Veer! Can I ask you something?

Manveer: Yes

Raghav: If you come to know that I have hidden something from you would you be angry with me?

Manveer: Yes! I will be very angry and will never talk to you.

Raghav's expression changed. Manveer noticed that and laughed out loud.

Manveer: I was just kidding. You are my best friend Raghav. I trust you the most. If you have really hidden something from me then it must have a reason. So I will understand. But why are you asking?

Raghav: Nothing. Just asking you. I need your support always Manveer.

Manveer: You always have me Raghav.

Raghav: Thank you. It's getting late. Let's go to sleep.

Saying so they parted to their respective rooms.

The day of the marriage,

Soon the day of Manveer's marriage arrived. The marriage is over with the blessings of the guests. SuryaDev made the announcement about the will and declared Manveer as the next head of the village. The villagers are very happy listening to that. But Archana has something running in her head.

After a few days of marriage,

Raghav was coming from the farm and going home, He saw Archana going alone somewhere.

Raghav MV: Where is she going at this hour?

He followed her and noticed she came to meet few men who seemed not familiar to Raghav.

Raghav MV: Who are these people? Never seen them in the village. What is Archana doing with them?

He continued watching her hiding.

Men: Vanakkam Amma!

Archana: Vanakkam.

Men: Say madam, Why you have called us. What work do you have with us. Your father has a very good name in the nearby villages. But still you asked us to meet you. So I think it is something big.

Archana smirked listening to him and said

Archana: First of all he is not my father. Second of all yes, it is very big and I want it to be a secret. I want you to kill SuryaDev and his wife.

The men and Raghav were frightened listening to her.

Men: What Amma? What are you saying?I think we heard it wrong.

Archana: No you heard me right. I want you to kill them. I will give you the money that you can't even imagine.

The men looked at each other and nodded.
