THE SECRETS OF THE WOODS ((On Hold))

7. NOW YOU BELIEVE?

They were not able to digest what happened just now in front of their eyes. Kanak collapsed on the ground. Jannat had tears in her eyes whereas Rahul was just looking at the ground from where Rish disappeared in the form of dust.

Jannat:- Rahul you have seen everything with your own eyes. Is this still a hallucination?

Rahul who was quite all the time was not speaking now also. He looked towards kanak who had an expression less face.

Rahul:- Kanak,Jannat...... I'm very sorry.... I..I...I... don't know how can I even forgive myself for not trusting you all but I'm very sorry.

Jannat:- Because of your sorry my brother will not come back Rahul. I told you TO TALK TO HIM BUT NO! YOU AND YOUR HALLUCINATIONS.

Kanak:- SHUT UP! SHUT UP YOU TWO! HE...HE..HERE I LOST MY LIFE,MY HEARTBEATS,MY BREATHES,MY EVERYTHING! AND YOU TWO ARE HERE FIGHTING! H...H...HE IS NO MORE! CAN YOU IMAGINE!!!

She again started to sob violently. Jannat was continuously consoling her whereas Rahul had a guilty face. The castle was visible in their sights.

Suddenly they heard scream from the castle. The trio rushed toward the castle, they stopped in the middle of the hall, when they saw a white smoke within a mysterious figure. They wanted to run but their legs glued on the spot, no one was able to move.

The scary figure was laughing dangerously. Kanak and jannat hugged each other, Rahul hugged both of them from back as if he is protecting them from the figure. Suddenly the scary figure stopped laughing and they heard indistinct whispers from the figure,and she was roaming in the hall around three of them. Soon the figure stopped in front of them, and they clutched each other tightly.

Figure:- Well,let me introduce you to myself! I'm Angelina and...... Forget it! You will come to know more about me in the upcoming days.

Her face was covered with her long black hairs and she had a blood sheded axe in her right hand. Dust hugged her old white gown.

In the beginning the figure was talking in normal tone, but suddenly her normal tone of talking change into dangerous and scary tone.

Angelina:- I warn you, don't go outside. I gave you the note also, but you all didn't take care of my warning,so I punished you three by taking your Rish's life.

Kanak somehow gathered all courage and asked her...

Kanak:- What had Rish done to you that you took my Rish away from me!tell me,why did you do this to my Rish?

Her voice cracked in between and tears rolled down her cheeks as she was remembering the golden moments that she spent with Rish.

Angelina ignored Kanak and continued...

Angelina:- Listen to me very carefully,if you want to lose anyone of your lives then dare to put your leg outside of the house.

Rahul:- But why would we listen you??

Angelina:- Then ignore my warning and face the worst consequences.

With that she flew away in form of smoke.

Kanak again collapsed to the ground and cried her heart out. Jannat also didn't knew what to do so she consoled Kanak. Jannat remained strong in front of kanak but she also couldn't stop herself and broke down. Rahul who was filled with guilt was not able to make an eye contact with them. Kanak saw this and said.....

Kanak:- Bhai! Please don't blame yourself for all these things. Destiny never wanted us to be together and this is the reason that he went. If I was not only there in this world neither he would get the idea to propose me in this house nor we would have come.
