chapter 2 :- Twist of fate

" No matter who we are , why we are , till the day love exist we will forge to new heights "

At that very moment Vardhan felt full shiver in his body . It was as good as understanding that clouds , winds , fire, flowing water all were halted for a while ... The whole world just stopped, the person he loved the most ,his own mother was surrounded by burglars who were making best of the attempts to get a backpack from her hand and it seems even there were ulterior motive as she seemed to be a alone women without husband, they might just take advantage of it .

Despite, being huge crowd all over vicinity no one dared to pull up and were just watching and glaring the scene that was unfolding in front of their eye . The world is cruel sometimes, isn't it ? Not only there was not a single one extending their hand but there were comments all over that... "Finally Karma his showing... " The wife of theif is getting surrounded by thives and soon so called mature and elder people's chuckled with that fact being said. By the way , it was said that lady ( Manikarna ) is a single mother to a child Vardhan . Her husband has done lot of wrong things all over his life and has been already arrested and his behind the bars . Some says he was already sentenced to the death , no one knew about him Manikarna and father of his husband (Shishir) had cut their ties long with him as soon as he was arrested. So in order to conclude this , it is safe to say that Manikarnika, Shisir and Vardhan were living their live in this village and managing their livelihood.

Vardhan was just perplexed though he didn't loss consciousness but he was standing still not making any movement as if he is as good as unconscious. All friends were panicked as well . They knew even if there group might outnumbered the burglars at that scene they were no good , as none in the group has even crossed 16 of the age and no matter how one does . They cannot fight against guns, craft swordsmen and with people who will take no time to just kill anyone in an instant and the difference in physical strength is just surmountable. .

But as it says if World is functioning well it means there are still good people in this world . Somnath, who just seemed to entered the place saw everything from his eyes and went ahead and put is one arm around the shoulder of one of the burglar and turned him towards him who was in opposite direction , towards Manikarna ...

Somnath Pulled , his sword and kept his sword at the neck of one of the burglar . Though burglar showed no sign of fear and was actually bit frustrated with it . People noticing that even went a step back as with a possibility of anything to happen ... Though all are white bandians but not all the people in their life time are capable of using and manipulation white power with in themselves. It is something achieved by years of hardwork, dedication and commitment. So maximum in their life were just as good as a what ordinary humans are . The only difference being they are born at white land which made them called white bandians. The burglar caught the hand of the Somnath and in meanwhile other burglar hitted him with rod in head and he went unconscious exactly at the movement and fell on the ground . It seemed last hope of Manikarna also died with this .

A boy came running towards Shishir who was talking with Shanta his neighbour. Shanta is the mother of Somnath. Somnath and Shisir's son were childhood friends and neighbours as well . No doubt why Somnath came forward in order to save Manikarna. The boy narrated the whole story from Manikarna being trapped in middle and Somnath being hitted at the head nearly in a position to bid forbid to this world . Shanta started crying listening to his son's despair and cursing that " Evil Manikarna, she should die as soon as fast like her husband so world will have some less menaces ." Shishir who was accomping her heard everything but somehow didn't even muttered a single word and both started running towards the direction where actual whole action was taking place which was in central part of the road which connects Manpada with royal Kingdom and other 6 states . Usually it is a busy street and it nearly takes ~22 minutes from main residential region towards main central area. Not to mention residential area for Shishir's and Shanta's house were huts actually.

While heavily running towards the main central part it was still far . Obviously there's a limit on how much a man and a lady who is not less 65 of age can run . They are still walking which shows how much one cares for their family members by neglecting their own pain and sorrows . In the whole journey from their house Varanda to Main region. Shanta kept on cursing and commenting Manikarna . She even mentioned" if by any chances any bad happens to Somnath , that day will be hers last on this world" . Shishir through his expression was clearly anger with the words of Manikarna though he didn't replied her again and continued with the journey. It seems Shisir has his own reasons to keep mouth shut. It's kind of impossible to hear something about family afterall.

Nearly , after 30 to 35 minutes both reached at the spot where it seemed that something not expected has already happened. Shishir and Shanta both began to look for Manikarna and Somnath . Vardhan's notorious troop of friends shouted out grandpa Shishir to which Shishir responded, " Wait a minute, what are you guys doing in such a dangerous place and where did that bastard Vardhan go ".. Aftab said , Grandpa initially troops of burglars who were of 16- 17 as a person are just left out to be of 3-4 persons. To which Shishir still not able to grasp the situation was looking for Manikarna but with huge crowd surrounded everywhere he can't find a thing. It seemed Shanta made her way to Somnath though as he can here her crying voice behind of huge crowd .

Shisir being unable to watch or penetrate anything drops his hope and enquired to group about situation and whereabouts. The Aftab and others took him towards the tree from which all this could be visible. Though blurred vision When Shisir looked he saw a women behind a boy and a 10- 11 man lying down .One happened to be Somnath and Shanta was also seen crying next to him . The huge crowd began cheering Vardhan - Vardhan and in no time it was clear that it was Vardhan was that boy and women behind her was Manikarna who was tied up initially and later freed by Vardhan as exclaimed by his friends group . Only thing was how can Vardhan do this and no one dared to replied anything and was looking each other to start the whole conversation if what happened in last half hour but no words were out from any of the mouth.

when Shisir went bit closed and looked everything he saw Vardhan who didn't even had a single blood stain at his body but people suddenly went back and Shisir was standing at his place , his legs started trembling as he saw Vardhan's eye .... What was happening to him ? What's all this ? Shisir cried out alot to God . That eye which turned all appreciations and praise which he was receiving until to threat or nightmare . kids started crying looking that eyes and burglars themselves were surprised and few of them get slaughtered so heavily it seems some lost their life even . No one has saw that eye before . But that was for real the most dangerous one. Aftab came towards Shisir . Shisir not understanding with the situation sat down at the spot with tears he saw someone's approaching him. As the voice of step was getting closer and was getting more stronger with every step he was loosing his strength likewise and it seemed Aftab kept hand on Shisir's shoulder and said nervously, what is happening to Vardhan , grandpa ? Suddenly what's wrong with his eyes and he said I saw everything what happened how everything resulted the way it is ... To which Shishir's eye rose and regaining his strength somehow with support of Aftab he stood up . Aftab told it was something so bright and dark at the same time that even with presence of many people , no one actually got what happened as they failed to keep their eye open with such tremendous horror of power ... power ? Shisir enquired... To which all the members of the group who were already behind the Aftab looked at each other as if trying best to forget what a terrible last hour was .... Assuring everyone and curious and confused grandpa , Aftab began , as his voice stated getting trembling and sluttery but he trying to managing his pace and volume he told it was ... ha , huh.... no terrified still gutsy he was trying his best . He said , " So it was .....
