The Cursed Identity- A Haunting Dream

Beginning of the Curse

“Pack up the clothes and all other things. We are getting late.” said Ajay.
Arjun and his mother were packing the bags while he was sitting in the room scolding them.
They were to attend Arjun’s cousin Sudhir wedding which was scheduled a week later.
“I told you two yesterday to be ready in time but it seems that no one took my words seriously. Now if we would miss the train then we will have to wait for another two hours for the next train to arrive. Is everything ready or not?”
                                   Radhika went in the room to pick the locks and Arjun brought the bag outside. He took the locks from his mother and bolted the gate where his father was standing staring angrily at him.
Ajay rushed and Arjun along with Radhika followed him. It was still 4:30 am and no auto rickshaw was in sight.
The station was not very far and so they reached there in time. They sat on a bench waiting for the train to arrive. Arjun left his seat and went to examine the whole station. All shops were closed and the population was also very less.
He returned to his bench and sat beside his mother.
Very soon came an announcement:
“Passengers please pay attention. Train no. 5432 is running late by an hour and will arrive one hour late from its scheduled arrival.”
“I knew the train would be late.” said Ajay.
Meanwhile the shopkeepers arrived and opened their shops. Arjun went to a tea stall and brought tea for his mother. He then went to a book shop to buy some comics. Shopkeeper showed him the whole set. He selected three, paid the price and went to his bench.
Another announcement came a half an hour later to announce the arrival of the train. Soon the train arrived at the platform and stood there.
“Arjun pick the bag and follow me.” said Ajay.

                                     Arjun didn’t noticed him and remained sitting there, enjoying the comic. Ajay was surprised by his behaviour and yelled loudly.
Arjun was startled; comics felled from his hand and he looked at his father with surprise.
“Pick up the bag and follow me”
He kept his comics and followed his father in search of their seat. Soon they found their seats and entered the compartment. Arjun placed the bags in the luggage corner and went on to take his seat. Ajay slept and Radhika sat beside Arjun engrossed in newspaper.
Arjun remained busy with his comics and hours flew in a hurry. He didn’t move his eyes for a second. Radhika and Ajay went sleeping, cautioning him to keep a look at their luggage.
After an hour later when he finished his comics he drank some water and after making the luggage safer went on to enjoy the scenic beauty.
He looked at the sky and was surprised to see a human apparition in the clouds holding a dagger in his one hand. He rubbed his eyes and saw again only to found the apparition disappears.
He got no chance to have a thought over it as the train reached the destined station. He stood to wake his parents. 
                                       “Wake up papa the station has arrived.”
They got ready and Ajay went to bring a taxi. Arjun brought a tea for Radhika and went outside where Ajay was looking for a taxi.
“Arjun bring the bag and put in in the taxi.”
                                         After placing the bag in the taxi they comfortably seated themselves in the taxi and the taxi moved.
Ajay took out his mobile and made a call to Sudhir.
The driver took them to the highway where Sudhir was to pick them. They arrived there stood waiting for him. After couple of minutes they saw a car coming towards them and out came Sudhir to touch Ajay and Radhika's feet and get blessings. Arjun also touched Sudhir’s feet and got blessings.
In the car Arjun sat beside Sudhir in order to inquire him about many things.     
                                        “So how is my bhabhi? Is she beautiful?”
“I have only seen her photographs. I really didn’t had a chance to see her.”
“So how she looks in the photograph?”
“She looks beautiful.”                                         “Did she saw yours.?”
“Yes she must have. Papa gave them the photo.”
“Then it’s good otherwise……”
“What otherwise. What do you want to say?”
“I mean to say that at least she got a warning.”
“What do you mean by warning? Am I so bad? Ajay uncle see Arjun has again started his mischief.”
“Arjun keep quiet. Let him enjoy some more days of freedom.”
“Uncle, you too!”
“You drive the car Sudhir. These two have gone mad. Don’t bother yourself with all this.” said Radhika.
                         “Yes Radhika auntie you are right.”
Very soon the car arrived at its destination and Arjun  had a glimpse of his brother’s house which was totally decorated with every sort of things.
He saw all his relatives sitting inside and went to take blessings from each of them. He then sat there to have some refreshments and then went inside to meet his cousins. Very soon he founded a room in which they all were sitting enjoying a game of carom.
“Can I join your game?”
“Yes of course.” said Rohit, his younger cousin.
“Wait, wait. Arjun bhaiya is a champion player in carom. His team would always win.” said Asita, his sister.
The discussion began whether to include Arjun in the game or not. Everyone was giving his own opinion about the situation. Seeing the situation Arjun decided to give an idea.
“Please stop fighting. I will form team with Rahul.”
Rahul was Arjun’s cousin brother. He was just two year old and was very happy to team up with Arjun. He ran towards him and sat on his laps. Arjun gave him a kiss.
The game begin and with the first strike Arjun got the queen in his collection. He gave the coin to Rahul and went on to collect more.
As expected Arjun garnered the maximum coins and he along with Rahul were declared winner.  Arjun sat to see Rahul's victory dance and then went with him in search of his Auntie.
The house was quite big and he was not quite familiar with the house
“Do you know the whole house?” Arjun asked Rahul.
“No bhaiya.”
“So let us search the whole house.” 
                                       As Arjun moved forward he saw a room which was very dimly illuminated as compared to other rooms. The doors and windows of the room were closed and he could literally see nothing. As he was trying to peek into the room a hand touched her body. 
“Arjun what are you doing here. No one is allowed in there. Come with me.”
“Indira auntie, I was just surprised to see this room so dimly illuminated. What is in here?”
“Nothing so serious to bother you. We should go down, come.”
Arjun went downstairs with his auntie but was still not satisfied with her answers.
The wedding was one week later but the house was almost full with guests. Everyone was eager to show his/her usefulness. A single work which in normal circumstances would  require only a second took a minute to be done; where one man was required dozen ran to show their mettle.
Arjun decided to take in charge of the decorations and went on to finish it in time. He selected some workers and with their help decorated the whole house. Arjun did a good job and was appreciated by all.  
                                         “That’s good job Arjun.”
“So what, it’s my brother wedding and I wished to see the whole house well decorated.”
One week flew away in a hurry and soon came the wedding date.

P.S.= I beg pardon if this chapter is not very well written.
But don't worry,next few chapters will certainly be an excellent piece of work. The dark forces are getting stronger and next few chapters would mark their arrival.
Next chapter coming in few days till then enjoy Watt padding.
Love you all.
