The Mystery [UNDER MAJOR EDITING]

23

KAIRA POV

"The dead body is behind this" We said in unison.

We moved forward toward the portrait. It was a huge portrait of King Sooraj Pratap Singh Rathore. Neil removed the portrait from the wall.

"I am sure the dead body is buried in this wall. We need to dig this." Neil said.

"Take the hammer." I said and handed him the hammer.

Neil started hitting the wall with hammer.

KARAN POV

I don't know what is going on. Kaira brought Neil and Professor Saxena in my mansion. She told me that the mansion is haunted. I don't believe this. How do I? I still remembers Mr. Singh mentioning this mansion to be rumoured as haunted, but it was just a rumour. There is no proof which proves the mansion to be haunted. The people who died might have lost their life due to some accidents and someone must had created the story that the mansion is haunted.

Neil and Kaira went to the locked room and here I am with my mom and Professor Saxena. Mom is screaming her voice out to release her. I wanted to, but I can't. I told Kaira that I will wait for her to free my mom. Professor Saxena told all the possible things to convince me that the things which Kaira told are real and not imaginary. But still my conscious is not letting me to believe.

"I am going in the kitchen to drink water. Do you need anything?" I asked and Professor Saxena shook his head.

KAIRA POV

Neil finally digged the wall and we found something like a small room where the skeleton was lying. After so many years, the dead body has been decomposed and the one which is left is nothing, but King Sooraj Pratap Rathore's skeleton.

While coming from Professor Saxena's house to the mansion, I asked how he is aware about the secret of the dead body being buried in the mansion. I am not surprised that he did lots of research on the mansion. He even met a person whose ancestors were related to the King Sooraj Pratap Singh Rathore. When asked, the person told Professor Saxena that dead bodies of Prince Yuvraj and Princess Sarswati was cremated. 

Unfortunately Queen Revati, the mother of King Sooraj Pratap Singh Rathore didn't let people to cremate her son's body. She was not in state to believe the reality that her son was dead. She buried the body in the locked room and believed that it is the only way to keep her son alive. The people protested, but she didn't let anyone to touch her son's body. Later King Sooraj Pratap Singh Rathore's soul was the one who protected his body.

"We need burn this." Neil said.

"Let's bring the skeleton out first." I said.

When we went near the skeleton, the ghost of King Sooraj Pratap Singh Rathore suddenly appeared. Of course, he won't keep quiet. He will not let us to burn his remains.

"I must say, you both are brave. You finally entered the locked room." The king said.

"Now your game is over and you too." Neil said.

The king laughed and said, "Do you think I am fool? Do you think I will let you to succeed?"

"Kaira, let's not listen to his bullshit. Let us move this skeleton out." Neil said looking at me.

"I will not let you to do that. I will also get my Sarswati back." The king said loudly. He did some magic and Neil wasn't able to move from his place.

"Kaira" Neil cried.

"I can't do my magic on you because I love you, but I can do on him. Last time, I lost you. I will not lose you this time. You are mine and only mine." The King said and I looked at him in disbelief.

"She will not be yours, this time too." Neil said while struggling to move out from his place. He can move his eyes, hands and even talk, but he can't step out of it's place.

"I will give you what you need, mukti." I said and the king laughed and yelled, "Never"

"Kaira, let finish the matter, here by itself." Neil said and moved his hand in his pocket. He removed the match box and threw on me. I caught it and Neil said, "Burn the skeleton."

"No...." The king screamed.

I lit the match stick and within a second, I threw it on the skeleton. It started burning and when I saw the king, he started burning too. He disappeared from the place and that's the end, he got mukti. 

Neil was released from the magic. He stepped towards me and crashed me into hug. I was surprised by his act.

"We won, finally." Neil said and  tears of happiness started flowing from my eyes.

"No......" Neil screamed suddenly and I didn't understand what made him to scream. I broke our hug and looked at our surrounding. We are in great trouble.
