The Tale Of The Thousand Pearls- Part-4 - The Real Test Of Fate

Chapter-7: The long-lost secrets:

Malini looked at her malevolent side of herself Mohini in the mirror and as she slowly walked toward her, Mohini stepped out and said," you know we both aren't good now anymore. You weren't good too from the beginning. Don't you remember?". Hearing this Malini responded," are you blackmailing me? I am taking care of my sister's children because of the mistake I had committed and to feel less burdened of becoming guilty in that mistake, I have lived these years for the children suffering more Hardships and difficulties." Mohini twirled her eyes and said," oh so you are saying that you have turned for good and you don't need me anymore, you have attained the wealth because of me, you have superpowers to control and kill anyone, because of me, you have no enemies or no one can go against you again, it's because of me, you wench!" " don't you dare forget the debt you have been to me? Malini!' " your crocodile tears or your fake concern for your sister's children doesn't melt me either!"

Malini wiped her tears off and said," what are you trying to do? How are you connected to Sheena? For years you have haunted me for one reason. You have stayed near to me for one bullshit reason and that is Sheena. Why? What does she hold? Any wealth? Any power? Or any secret?" Mohini uttered with shock," the power to activate a treasure that only she can do!, the key to the treasure is Sheena or Bhoomika whatever her name is ?" Malini questioned her again" by the way who is Bhoomika? Sparsh and Mohan? Why are you repeating these names when you were burning the forest? What do they have with you? "

" They are the reason for the punishment I face now! For now! you must hear to me accordingly and plan. After I get what I had desired from Sheena, I will both leave this home and your body forever. Deal?" Malini realised that a deal with the enemy is the only right thing she can think of now to cover her past bad deeds. " deal" exclaimed Malini. Mohini while speaking with her noticed a shadow beneath the door and realised that someone had been peeking into their conversation. Mohini hushed Malini and she slowly walked towards the shadow. Sensing danger, the shadow ran away to its room. Mohini suddenly opened the doors to find no one standing there ." There is a danger Malini, someone had heard us speaking, we must find that culprit now!" Malini nodded yes and soon Mohini possessed her again. The tranced Malini looked all sides and with an evil smirk, she flow in the air through the gates waving her hands on either side, she breezed through the windows and empty rooms to find no one. Soon Malini said," I think, I must do what I had planned, only three days are there and after that, I must escape from this heinous body forever and do what I had thought of." Saying this, she gushed through the rooms of the enchanting pearl mansion and approached the door entrance and looked back." I think I will catch you soon brat! just wait for your sister to come. Then I will end you too and send with her." Malini stormed outside while Atul was hiding inside a closet. He was petrified to see the other side of Malini and with his wimping leg, he ran away from there and hid inside to escape. But he didn't know that demons have eyes all over their body. Nobody can't escape from them.

Mohit and Sheena were brought on a stretcher and the police department called Anamika from Sheena's family, and Mohit's parents, Sarthak to the scene to clarify their doubts and enquiry. Mohit's mother Amrutha was frustrated with Sheena. Her eyes were enough to burn someone in anguish. After gaining consciousness, Mohit and sheen both woke up together with a low groan and snarl. Mohit was lifted by his parents and brought back to some senses, while Anamika who was busy with her phone never cared to lift the injured Sheena. She asked Sheena," where's my mom? I haven't seen her in a while, neighbours told me that she had gone to search you, and we have comfortable beds in our home, you are lying in a road where people spit and shit, and.." Sheena said," don't talk to me if you aren't interested to speak, and your mom, I don't know her whereabouts." " and you people are still hell-bent on ruining our family!" Shouted Amrutha and Mohit's father Girish. Sheena was perplexed, but before she could answer, Mohit intervened in their conversation and requested both the police and his parents to give him space between him and Sheena to clarify some things. As if known something that Sheena doesn't know, he waved his hand and signalled Sheena to a lonely side where they could chat.

" you fine!" Asked Mohit. Sheena nodded her head slowly and gave a rather lazy answer of being fine. " you, ok fine, let me start this, I am not sure what you might think of me, but if you think that I am crazy then it is no use of talking to you now because our friendship has already become more sour and bitter now and I feel that this might be our last conversation to sort out things that you either don't know or things that you have forgotten in your memory or something? Shall I start?" Sheena said, "yes, just open to me the incidents that have changed me for the past year, the changes that ruined our relation, the changes that I never wanted to see, the sides of the person whom I trust more than myself that I have never known till now, everything is becoming clear now after my last pearl wish..."

Mohit's eyes suddenly twinkled in wonder," what did you say? Pearl wish ..., I have heard it somewhere long time back, I don't know, but this sounds similar to me, someone near to me and dearer to me had told me this, but I can't recall this as whom? maybe..." he sighed a long pause and Sheena said," I don't know if I sound crazy to you but I will be honest with you Mohit as you could be the one who can at least take a chance to trust me? Will you trust what I say now?" Mohit who was already wracking his brain memories to remember the person who had told it about the pearls. Sheena said," for the past few moments, I have been living alternate realities of my life based on the wishes that I had desired for to Sparsh which my great aunt Malini or the demoness mentioned before, Sparsh isn't a normal human, he is a celestial otherworldly entity who had also saved my life in the past and also has a Link with my father in the past as he told me before his death or disappearance. He adores a pearl necklace on his neck, and I guess that the pearls provide him with some kind of power to provide the boons. But he told me that I am the reason and key to ending his loneliness he had suffered for almost a thousand years as he said before and the necklace man that one actually made me remember his appearance to this day when I met him..." Mohit who was attentively listening to this suddenly stopped and said," was it having a sapphire locket in it..?" Sheena was shocked as she had never mentioned it in the conversation they had now. He said," I think the man which you told now, I am getting his visions along with us in a water fall or a cave-like area where... I saw you in his lap and arms getting blended and injured by someone and it was..." Sheena completed the conversation," was it you? Mohit?" Mohit's eyes filled with tears and he started sobbing. Mohit's parents, Sarthak even the police noticed Mohit crying before Sheena. They also were intrigued as to what they both were speaking and soon turned their attention towards them to have an ear on what they were speaking. " Mohit stop crying everyone is seeing us, let's discuss it further and I think it's better that we both reunite to fight against my aunt who has turned her back against me! we must also find the past about us, the painting and all that stuff..."

Half an hour later, Anamika was still standing and was really worried as to where her mom could have gone. Sheena who had seen the real side of Malini asked Anamika to hop into a van-like vehicle and the vehicle was ignited to start. Just before the vehicle could cross some distance, trees on the left side of the road, started to fall all of the sudden and horrendously destroyed the cemented road. " not again aunt..." uttered Sheena. Mohit's parents, the police and the other vehicles who were behind them were shell-shocked to see the catastrophe. Mohini/ Malini who was standing on the top of the mountain, which is touted to be inauspicious by the town spotted the van where Sheena is travelling. " now its time to kidnap her for my means. I must not kill her, I need to abduct her and make her remember or recall the things that I wanted to feed her in memory, then I will get my hands on the most powerful energy in the universe that no one has ever dared to even stand at, the nagarathna, the gem of eternal divinity and powerful aura. These rat like vehicles, I think they can dash with themselves for some time, this time no butterfly showdown like the other time... Malini flew through the wind again and was about to reach the vehicles, she crisscrossed the cars, two-wheelers and heavy load trucks to dash within themselves and a situation of chaos started to erupt again.

On the other hand, an old lady watching a blue flame-like glowing goblet noticed the same events in her globe from a reasonable distant place and she said," Mohini, I am coming to control your tyranny again!"
