RB,
Another nail biting read which made me stay up until 3 am for couple of nights and 4 am last night..yes I read slowly, sometimes reading sentences twice, so as to not miss any of your hints/clues per se :)
This was a make-believable story and I can see it happening in real.. It is sad that the human ambitions be it politics, Government or a private corporate has come to this.. Murder is one thing but torture in the name of ritual is just sadist also a warning to not mess with them..
But why Vimal Sharma? I can see that Baba might have tried to threaten them as he was the one who killed the Land guy.. It also explains why Baba was alone willingly, he did not anticipate the attack..and the punishment ritual..
Anjali was a shocker, more shocking was her refusal to repent and reform.. I guess that's how the cult was able to stay that strong for 3 decades with brainwashed people like Anjali..
Khushi's giving up was a natural decision I think given they couldn't even ruffle some feathers..the cult had grown into this huge tree; what Arnav tried to do was to cut down some branches but Khushi went for the roots straight, uprooting the tree..
But this wasn't a mass suicide isn't it? Those people including her father did not know they are going to ingest a toxin, only Khushi knew.. But it's fine with me if the public thinks it's mass suicide.. The cult deserved it..
I thought of possible scenarios as to how Khushi was able to poison them.. May be they were to mark themselves with ceremonial knives or drink water or eat something..
It was poetic justice.. Khushi ended what his father started by subjecting him to what he did to other victims.. A sacrifice indeed!!
A very well written story RB.! Hats off.!
