Chapter 30 - “No Escape from Them”

"You said that after that day, you never saw them again… then how can you say that both of them are dead?"

"Not me… but the whole world believes so, right?

Even now, I am still waiting for them to return."

"What happened to Suman's child?"

"When I told Suman about that day, she too, like me, believed that they were alive and kept waiting for their return.

Her family had already cut off all ties with her long ago, so I felt that I should stay with her in such a situation.

Within a few days, we became very close friends.

And then, after a month, she gave birth to a very cute baby.

I had grown deeply attached to that child… and it became impossible for me to leave him.

Now, that child had become more important to me than anything else in my life.

Everything was fine for about a year… but then…

I had to go far away from the city for a project.

Rohan insisted on coming with me.

But Suman had to stay back for her work.

So I took Rohan with me.

But when I returned…

Suman was nowhere to be found.

The entire house was empty.

Everything was scattered.

I filed a police complaint, but it was of no use.

There has been no trace of her till now.

Rohan is still with me.

So that he doesn't miss Suman, I shifted to another place with him.

But sometimes… I feel like maybe she has returned.

So just to satisfy my heart, I come here sometimes, stay quietly for a while… and then leave.

Because of the structure of this house, people passing by think that the spirits of those three live here.

And whenever I cook or clean here, the sounds make people even more scared."

"So you never tried to tell them that there are no spirits here?"

"What's the need?

It's actually good… no one comes here because of that.

The house and everything inside remain safe."

"Smart way."

"Thanks."

"So after knowing all this, what conclusion have you reached?"

"I think Amar and Sahil are both alive… and they are taking revenge for the injustice done to them."

"But if that's true… where were they all this time?

What's the point of taking revenge after three years?

And why didn't they ever come to meet Suman… or Rohan?"

"That… I can't say right now.

But as soon as I find something, I'll inform you."

"Thanks for helping."

"Most welcome."

Inspector Akhil leaves from there.

Meanwhile, Ravi gathers courage and lifts the carpet.

He finds a hidden exit beneath it.

He tries to open it…

It was locked from below by Alka.

But now Ravi had found a way to escape, and his courage started to return.

After struggling for some time, he finally manages to open the door and escapes from Alka's house, reaching far away.

Due to all the running, his leg had swollen badly… almost like elephantiasis.

His veins were also swollen from inside, causing severe pain in his stomach.

He could have gone to the nearby society and asked for help…

But for some reason, he kept running along the empty road instead.

After reaching far away, he sits on a bridge by the roadside, breathing heavily and holding his stomach in pain.

He finally felt free… but—

After some time, he sees a man approaching him with a torch.

At first, the man walks slowly…

But suddenly, he slides close and stops right near Ravi's face.

Ravi's heart starts racing like an engine…

And he faints on the spot.

When he regains consciousness in the morning, he finds himself in a room, lying on a white bed, covered in white sheets.

Suddenly—

Burnt Amar and Sahil appear in front of him.

Amar says:

"Welcome, Ravi…

Welcome to our new world.

Until now, it was just us here…

But now… you are also a part of our small family."

After them, one by one, all those people appear before Ravi…

Who had died in the Vijay fraud.

Seeing them all alive in front of him, Ravi is shocked—

"You all!!!

How is this possible!?

You all are dead!"

"Yes, we are all dead…

And now we have come to take you with us.

Come with us."

"No!

I will not go anywhere with you!

Do you understand!?"

Saying this, Ravi tries to run again.

While running, he sees a car.

He quickly gets inside and tries to escape…

But the brakes of the car had failed.

Whenever he tries to apply brakes…

The speed of the car increases even more.

"What is happening!?

Why is the car going so fast!?"

Within moments, the speed becomes so high that he can't even see the surroundings outside.

It feels like the car is flying in the air…
