Chapter 6

"Taaani.." all three said all panicked watching Taani trapped. All were shocked how come she end up there as there was no way to go there.

"Tum yaha aayi kaise.." Sharon asked still in shock

"I... I dont know Sharon... I ..." Taani dont get any words as she is still confused as it was a perfect place while she was walking but she dont understand all of a sudden how everything got destructed, by looking it now, it seems the area was destructed a long years back. 

All while Rey was finding a way to reach Taani and save her. Swayum too was looking for a way. Purab, Vihan and others were inside the temple. Rey find a way and started to move forward.

"Rey careful " Swayum said

Taani looked at Rey, she saw so much concern in his face.

That black smoke was surrounding Taani, as it was not able to touch her, some unknown force is not allowing it to go near her. It saw Rey coming towards Taani to save her. The black smoke try to throw Rey away, the wind become heavier and it made difficult for Rey to reach her. Dry and green leaves with dust were surrounded making the vision disturbed. The black smoke was reaching Rey making the wind more and more heavier each passing time. It was about to touch Rey, Taani unconsciously closed her eyes and chanted Shiv mantra, an aura formed in the shiv murthi inside the garbagriha of the temple, it come out and formed a protective layer around Rey. The moment the black smoke touched Rey, it was thrown away like it got high volt of electric shock. Taani fainted there.

Suddenly the environment become all normal, as nothing happened. Rey looked at the place where Taani stood and got tensed as he could see her there. 

"Taaani..." He called for her and moved forward. He somehow managed to stand on the big pillar. That was near where Taani stood. He looked down only to see a fainted Taani. He jumped down and immediately hold her.

A loud creepy cry echoed in the nature, and strangely only Vihan hear that. He got shocked and looked the surrounding. But he chuck it. But then he started feel the same hot sensation around him. He feels like fire is near him and he is feeling its heat on his skin. He started to sweat. 

"Taani.. Taani... open your eye.. you are safe. Am here" He patted her cheek, thats when he noticed she is partially fainted and she was murmuring something. He let his ears close to her lips, so as to hear what she was saying...

"Om Nama Shivaya ! Om Nama Shivaya ! Om Nama Shivaya ! Om Nama Shivaya ! " She was continuously murmuring this. Rey thought as it might be out of fear she is murmuring. But he felt so different. He looked at her murmuring lips, and then once again listened to the chants she says... Thats when it clicked to him.

" Yes I have seen this, the same lips and chants." He muttered himself. He have seen this same scene in his dreams. only the murmuring lips and the chants were in his dream.

" Is it really happening, my dream is before my eyes. ! or am I dreaming now.(he pinched himself.."aaah") No its real. But is it she, the girl in my dreams!" Rey lost in thoughts looking at her face.

((Back ground music - hear the unplugged slow version

Tum kyun chale aate ho

Har roz in khwaabon mein

Chupke se aa bhi jao

Ek din meri baahon mein

Tere hi sapne andheron mein, ujaalon mein

Koi nasha hain teri aankhon ke pyaalon mein

Tu mere khwaabon mein, jawabon mein, sawalon mein

Har din chura tumhein main lata hoon khayalon mein))

Suddenly the big pillar rolled and fall on the opposite side were Rey is sitting holding Taani.

"Reeyyyy" Swayum

"Taaaaniii" Sharon

Because of the loud sound Taani blinked her eyes 2-3 times and opened her eyes and saw the face of Rey. Her heart started to beat faster, same with Rey. They were in an intense eye-lock.

"Reeyyyyy / Taaaniiii" Swayum and Sharon again shouted for them while moving forward to check them. Thats when TaaRey came out of eye-lock.

"We are safe.." Rey shouted back averting his eyes from her. Swaron got relief.

Taani got up from him and Rey too stood up. As the pillar fall down they got a way to move out. Some how They came out from there where Rey helped Taani to move. They reached near Swaron.

Sharon hugged her. Swayum hugged Rey.

"Taani tum theek hai" Sharon asked. Taani nodded in yes

"Rey, you okay na.?" Swayum asked Rey and he too nodded in yes.

"Thanks." Taani said looking at Rey.

"Thanks..! Really... Dont you have eyes, aise jagah par koyi jaatha hai kya. You see its destructed everywhere and you just go there like that, do you even know how dangerous it is. Some bricks or that pillars could fall on you. And I really wonder, how you reached till there." Rey was continuously shouting at her.

"Stop. Just shut up. For your kind info, do you find me so dump to go in such an area like this. If you people believe it or not I dont care, but the truth is when I was walking here, it was all a perfectly build. And I got a call I took the call and thats when it was all changed. And do you think i have some magic to go there, cant you guys see there is no way there." Taani shouted and moved away from there.

They thought Taani might be saying truth, as everything seems strange for everyone the day they reached this place. The looked at the spot where she was trapped, and they can clearly say no one can reach there so easily like that. there is no way and risky too. All were lost. Rey felt bad for shouting at her.

Sharon just ran after Taani coming out of trance.

There Vihaan was getting irritated with the sudden heat and he dont know what to do. He just felt to tear off his shirt. But suddenly it went away.

"What the hell" He gritted his teeth and said as he dont know why this is happening with then. Then he feels a cool breeze, he felt so relived, and he looked at the direction where the cool breeze is coming and saw Taani. His eyes sparkled with lust. His eyes travelled through her body. She is a treat to watch.

Anger was building in Rey for unknown reason, as if someone is eyeing at his possession. He fisted his palm and inserted his hand in his pant pocket. Swayum saw this.

"Rey I think we should go from here." Swayum said as he feels negative vibes and also he is also noticing changes in his best friend on reaching this place.

Swayum and Rey entered inside the temple and searched for Purab to tell him they should go. They saw him and told he also agreed to go from there. 

Here Taani and Sharon reached near the garbagriha of the temple. Nothing was happened to that area of the temple. She just folded her hands and prayed looking at the closed door.

Vihan was watching them from outside. Others came there to call Shaani. Rey's blood boiled seeing Vihan looking at Taani lustly. He tightened his fist and was about to go, but Swayum stopped him to not to create any scene and he very well know his bff's anger. Rey stormed out from there and went and sat in the car. 

They left from there and reached the Fort by noon.

*******

"Guys chalo hum iss pure fort ko dekhe athe" Vicky said to everyone 

Everyone moved with him. Swayum dragged Rey with him and eveyone started to roam with an uninterested Rey. Here Shaani also decided to roam with other girls.

The boys entered inside the fort. Rey was feeling disturbed. He started to feel a stabbing pain in his heart. He put his hand in his heart. 

The same time girls also reached there Rey and Taani didnt notice each other. Taani starts to feel weird as she felt the pain of loosing a part her life.

All entered inside the fort by its big entrance. Rey and Taani together put their foot inside. The small bells on the closed door which was in upstairs right end made jingling sound telling them they were waiting for their entry. Hearing the sound both TaaRey looked up the same time. Then to each other thats when they notice each other. 

Main hoon gumsum tu bhi khamosh hai

Sach hai samay ka hi sab dosh hai

Dhadkan dhadkan ik gham rehta hai

Jaane kyu phir bhi dil kehta hai

Jee le zara, jee le zaraa

Kehta hai dil jee le zara

Aye humsafar, aye humnawa

Aa paas aa jee le zara

Taani remembered him shouting at her. She just turned her face away from him in angry and walked forward. Rey shook his head, he felt an unknown sadness.

Both look around, they both feel a lot of pain. Like some one had teared out a part of their life.  

Hai zindagi mana dard bhari

Phir bhi isme ye raahat bhi hai

Main hoon tera aur tu hai meri

Yunhi rahe hum, ye chahat bhi hai

Phir dil ke dil se, pul kyu toote hain

Kyun hum jeene se itne roothe hain

Aa dil ke darwaaze hum khole

Aa hum dono jee bhar ke ro le

Jee le zara, jee le zaraa

Kehta hai dil jee le zara

Aye humsafar, aye humnawa

Aa paas aa jee le zaraa

Both were feeling pain of lost love, they both dont understand why they are feeling so. and in intervals both were looking upstairs. 

Gham ke ye baadal guzar jaane de

Ab zindagi ko nikhar jaane de

Chhod de ab yaadon ke dukh sehnaa

Sun bhi le jo dil ka hai kehnaa

Jee le zaraa, jee le zaraa

Kehta hai dil jee le zaraa

Aye humsafar, aye humnawa

Aa paas aa jee le zara

Both feels, they have lost something more precious in this place. They feel their life lies here. Once more they look upstairs.

Thats when Vihaan entered with another guy. He was about to step in. He again stated to feel the heat and its more severe than before. He stepped back and immediately it went away. He again started to step in, he started to feel the heat, he step back, its okay. He now understand something is wrong and he need to find out. He turned and went out and stood there thinking.

"Guys I have heard there is a statue of the the last king at the back side of the fort and its scarier" A random guy said

Taani's head snapped at his words. Her eyes went wider and sweat started form. He heart thud in fear. Rey notices this.

"Really, chalo then we should have a look at it and see if its scarier.." Vicky said

Everyone followed him, Vihaan too and they reached back side of the fort. Taani got shiver seeing the statue. The scary headless statue. Even it do not have head, Taani feels the statue is passing her a creepy smile, she feels the statue is luslty roaming over her body, she turned her face away from it feeling disgust.

Everyone find the statue creepier and girls find it scarier.  

"Hey look there is something written under the name." Swayum said and every one looked at it. Taani was not looking at it. 

"Is it sanskrit or some other language" Rey said

They all try to read. But dont understand. What it mean. Rey was about to read, but the vision got blur when ever he looked at those carved words. He rubbed his eyes and looked still see same way. He looked everywhere but it was normal, but he cant see that words only. By now he understand that his dream is related to this place and he will get the answers here only. He needs to find out.

"Taani dekho na.. can you understand" Sharon asked as she tried to read but failed miserably.

Hearing Sharon, Taani directly looked at the bottom of the statue without looking above.

"Taani pado isse... aur azaad karo mujhe... Teri muh se tum mujhe aise bana diya aur teri hi muh se mujhe azaad bhi karonge.. jaldi pado... jaldi.." The creepy voice echoed in the nature. And this time also Vihan can only hear. And then he got shocked and looked at Taani.

Taani just read the first word, she stopped as suddenly the wind blew and the sky right above the statue become darker. A creepy laugh echoed in the nature. Vihan head this and closed his ears.

Rey noticed that it was all normal when others were trying to read, and the atmosphere change suddenly when taani started to read it. So it is connected with Taani too. So may be the girl he see in the dream is Taani itself. Thats when he see Vihaan standing with his hands on his ears. Rey feels Vihan has also connection with this. Is he the another unknown guy he see in the dream..!!!!!

Rey try connect everything together. But seeing the change the enviroment, everyone thought its going to be rain and they can go inside the fort. But no one noticed, the sky was only darker right above the statue only.

Everyone entered inside the fort, except Vihan.

"Tum phirse aaungi aur padogi aur muje azaad karonge..." Saying this the creepy voice laughed. Vihaan looked at the statue hearing the echo. He felt an urge to touch the statue. He touched the statue and a current passed through him. That creepy voice laughed.

He got fear and ran in side the fort. He took deep breath. Its then he realised, he was inside the fort and he was not feeling anymore heat. He understands he is feeling all strange coming here, that statue and Taani is also related to it.
