Pandora's Box!

Malefic fate

Hey guys ! Here's the 13th chapter. Enjoy !!

(Dream)

"Why should my entire lineage suffer because of my dark hearted husband?" I asked with a voice strained by regret and sorrow.

My eyes were red with days of grieving on the sad demise of my brother in law and his wife. My kohl had spread; the hair parting was devoid of vermilion, I wore a plain orange saree without any jewellery indicative of a mourning state. I couldn't come to terms with the fact that my husband had treated our only blood relatives in an unspeakable manner. Now he was celebrating and making merry with his many mistresses while I was left  to safeguard our progeny.

Rishi Tyaag looked at me with guilt, " a boon for one is a bane for the other. Savitri, what has been done cannot be undone. But I understand your predicament." He said in disdain. "I bless you here on that only your progeny can prevent the misfortune that is bound to befall; you shall be reborn in a new form to stop Satyagni. But remember only a change of heart can alter your malefic fate..."

Everything began to blackout; I was breathing heavily, on blinking my eyes rapidly I found myself in bed with an IV attached to my left wrist. My vision was blinded by the bright sunlight but once my pupil dilated, I could vividly view the room.

My bed was adjacent to a window over viewing a driveway, my body felt stiff as if I had been sleeping in one position for hours together.

"You are awake!" said an ecstatic husky voice. "Yes, but where am I?" I asked in my disorderly state. "Sit up and see for yourself." He responded calmly. I conceded and saw the man who had taken me away from the motel standing at a distance while a woman lay in deep slumber on the bed beside mine, she had dark brown curls, a very pointy nose which made her look very attractive.

"Who are you? How did I reach here?" I asked incredulously. To my shock, the chirping of birds, buzzing of the bees could be heard.

"I am Satyagni's progeny, Aaran and the lady on the bed is my sister Aahana." He said slowly realising that I was still disoriented. "Aahana! But she looks so normal!" I exclaimed. "Yes, we both are normal outside our mind palaces. Whatever you had experienced was a result of our creation." He said with a hint of pride.

I was baffled. "Everything was nothing but a mirage, a deceit created by you and your sister!" I spat in disgust.

"NO! We have retrieved the urn and chaos along with pure evil which will engulf your real world, Latika!" He said in anguish. His words hit me like pots and pans, I couldn't move, the very thought of losing my world to Satyagni boiled my blood. "My lineage doesn't deserve this!" I menaced.

This left Aaran a little shaken, he removed his hat and looked at my deep brown eyes, and a sweat drop went down his brow. "This...can't be possible! Who are you?" He stuttered. "I am Savitri." I spoke with grit.

(Uttara's Point of view)

If I say that the worse is over ....I'll be kidding myself.

For the past 3 hours we were trying to get back to our senses. Trying to recuperate and think about what had exactly happened. Something weird had happened and most importantly Latika was missing. Of all of us, it was Mohit who was affected the most. He seemed way too disturbed and I surely would have been that way too if I was in his place. He felt something for her; a blind could see that too. Kartike on the other hand was surprisingly calm. He was the first one who latika had saved. I was sort of in awe of him for reasons I can't describe. I was getting better, my fear was truly horrible but so was Kartike's but still here he was helping me and I couldn't help but feel something for him.

Mohit was pacing the room. We had to do something and get her back. It was only because of her that we were alive now. But what? It was annoying. I couldn't find an answer and this was driving me crazy, there surely must be something that we could do?

Something struck me.....The only way Latika could have saved us was if we all had some sort of connection! "Mohit.....Kartike, Latika, she had a connection or a bond sorta thing with us ,It is the only way she could have saved us! Kartike, you were the first she helped right, how did she do that? Do you remember?"

"I heard her first and then when I appeared right next to her she was sitting and concentrating and trying to establish a connection with Mohit to help him!", Kartike exclaimed.

"That's it! We need to do exactly what she did! Come here you two, we all need to focus on Latika and reach out to her!"

Mohit, Kartike and I, we all sat in a circle and held each other's hands. "Guys focus on her, we can get her back." I started to focus on her, how I saw her the last time. I knew in my heart that this would work.

Time was passing, I could feel it but nothing happened. We were concentrating as hard as possible! Suddenly Mohit shouted "I feel her guys....She s right there in front of my eyes!" That thought gave me a sudden boost and the next moment...

.Latika, right in front of my eyes, she looked confused but something was different about her! Her eyes had this weird but powerful glow , a kind of prowess in her demeanour as if she had discovered something......Something new and dangerous!
