THE TALE OF THOUSAND PEARLS- PART-4: CONNECTING BRIDGES AND LINKS

The lady who was on the other side seeing the mystical globe with a look and a face that has so many feelings and emotions that are hard to decipher in human language and words. Her expression to Mohini’s tyranny was priceless. An unfilled anguish, unending revenge that is needed to be fulfilled, a conquest that is set to destroy the evil once for all, everything could be seen evident in that lady’s face. She then turned to a mirror, her room was filled with so many tarots, mysterious symbols, only one window that provides a half dim sunlight to the room and the remaining room shrouded with darkness. A violet vibed room As everything in the Room was more of lavender and purple tone colour palette, the things, a long stick like thing twisted and coiled with a large pearl stuck in it, it’s two ends bend with the enamorous pearl embellished in it. The lady marched out from her room. Through her window, we could realise that she is somewhere a monk like lady spending her last days in a monastery set up at place like Himalayas. the mystery increased its intensity and tge lady stepped out from her home. She chanted an incantment, a mantra like something in audible to Others and poked the wand to the sky, a large flash like light emanated from it and opened a portal like something to teleport from that place to the place she had desired to go for. 

On the other hand, Mohini made things awry and uncontrollable for sheena and mohit. They both were in an ambulance van like vehicle and behind them the other police officers, Mohit’s family were in the car to catch up with them. Due to the chaos created, a long line of traffic erupt and the traffic officers found it difficult to handle the rush. They both were whining and shouting at the same time due to storm and The rush of so much automobiles passing over the highway at the same time creating blockage and confusion. Mohini peeped from the mountain and decided to kidnap Sheena for her own means. She wanted to abduct her mainly because she knows a secret or is in dire need to get hold of the nagarathna gem stone as told before. The stone is so powerful and invincible, it is divine and majestic, its flawless and beautiful made of all the nine stones in the world ranging from Ruby to emerald, the bright sapphire stones and the purest pearls and more. Such a stone that can be either activated or found only by using Sheena as she only beholds a secret past or hidden energy that can be transcended to find the exact location of the stone in the human or other worldly realms. Mohini noticed sheena and mohit in the Same vehicle talking with each other. Mohit said that he also got those nightmarish visions from childhood which he onky considered as a mere illusion or a rubbish nightmare with no sense. Or say his imagination. But as their thoughts and fates interlink and collide, they decide to dig up their past. Sheena asked as too how did he had an idea about the pearl wish which she hadn’t told anyone not even to her brother or family. Mohit after wrangling his brain for some time finally held up confidently with an answer. “Sheena we have a very limited time to accomplish the things we desire. With as you said, the pearls and their illustrious cursed wishes, I have heard so many stories from my dead grandfather and my maternal grandmother. When my parents art gallery business wasn‘t doing well like now in the past when I could remember that I would be only 8 or 9 years old, I was at my grandparents home with my nani, Yashoda , my grandfather will always leave her alone for the sake of managing the business in abroad and other states along with my father, she always narrated stories of kings and queens, fantasy stories straight out of her imagination and books, and this pearl tale where she told that my nanu had received a wish from a heavenly entity in the past without even knowing what could be the dire consequences or the price that they were expected to face due to this wish fulfilled for our family, for wealth and money. My nana he died due to Alzheimer’s , he turned crazy in his last days and my mom forbade my from visiting them as she declared both of her parents have turned mentally unstable insane. she admitted both of them in an asylum, my grandfather committed suicide while my nani I don’t know what she is doing now, whether she is alive or not, my mother Amruta she told me that my nani had died. But I still don’t believed that thing. If she had been dead, we would have behold a funeral, I don’t know where she would be?” Sheena after hearing this realised that each time one recievs the wishes they desired through the pearls, they had to pay an unexpected price for that, that is handling their fate and the gruesome darkness behind receiving it. For each one who had received, the price could vary depending on the wish they ask for. Small wish smalol price, but bigger and more greedy wishes the more tragedy they had to Face.

the vehicle had almost come to a halt after the traffic and the lone of automobiles behind them grew larger and bigger. Amrutha and Girish both were curious as to what mohit and Sheena were talking about. During their earlier conversation with them, they both didn’t gave any clear cut answers or explanations for the happenings in the forest. But all could suspect the missing Malini and police , Mohit’s family all decided to frame or culminate Malini as the prime suspect behind the attack and the sudden forest fire. Anamika who was with them in the van remarked them as lovers.” Oh so you people are chatting things and getting cheesy, while I am scared out of my wits and concerns about my missing mother, Sheena you don’t care a shit about your aunt won’t you. such a self centered and a selfish jerk my mother had taken care of, Mohit answer mE? You and my mother you both were indulged in searching this wench, where is she? What did you people did to her? What happened to her? Answer me? You people are hiding something from everyone. what‘s it ? You people are giving bLunt answers to us? What are you doing in secret ? You sinister wenches?”

Mohit shouted to her in warning,” mind your language di! We aren’t to be blamed or framed by you we ourselves don’t have decisive or clear solution to the doubts we have. It is needed to be resolved by someone who has answers for it. And your mother, she was with me until she disappeared during the forest fire and she left us trapped in that bloody fire saving herself, I don’t know …” suddenly Tehri van crashed on to a car front of them. the driver screamed “ what the hell is going on? why the vehicles aren’t moving? They are just dashing each other and one another madly….” And the driver’s eyes too turned red, he o became mad and crazy. He stared bombarding vehicles to and fro and started driving the vehicle rashly. Anamika shouted ,” what the hell is he doing? You bad bitch! Drive the vehicle properly, steer it properly other wise we will die…” mohit and sheena uttered Malini’s name. “ what? Mom where is she? We should also pick up her and save her from the madness. Somebody help me, Mohit Sheena give me a hand man” screamed Anamika. “ no di, look for yourself, your mother doesn’t need any help, we need desperately help from someone to save us now?” 

Anamika said” what are you saying? How Could my mom be dangerous Person? And..” and anamika’s mouth stuttered ins perch. Mohini/ malini rampaged on the vehicles like toys with claws on her hand and feet and enlarged herself to a demon sI’ve, she created chaos and catastrophe and the place was soon filled with mayhem and destruction. The trio stepped out from the vehicle while on the other he, the police vehicle tripped outside and fell into the river. Sheena, mohit, Anamika, Sarthak , Amrutha and Girish ran towards the forest to save their lives while the road and the traffic created insanity in people. The drivers and people around the road getting visibly hypnotised by Mohini’s spell and following the gruesome orders she commands on them. “ Atul? Would he be safe in home?we must somehow escape from here?” Said Sarthak in a rather fearful tone. mohit said,” first we need to be alive to go there, we must first escape from Malini aunt then only we can reach up to him, I am also scared for him.” Amrutha said,” what the heck is going on ? Mohit whe are you concerned about these ungrateful people who are putting us in danger each and every time? I need a plausible explanation for what is happening here?” As they all scrambled and fought amongst each other , a voice from out side approached them,” are you guys missing me and my parade? Sheena……” in a demonic tone approached Malini with an evil smile. They all ran as fast they could, but her magic made things in futile .” Your brother Atul! Don’t worry about him, I will kill him and give him a peaceful death like you people die now, Sheena you must come with me, and if you refute, I will kill all the people for your stubborness. Mind me Sheena! I will do what I say! I will kill everyone and this vindictive people who have done the wrong of getting under my spell to oust rom this world. The chase was endless, but she created so many bogus pits and tricks that to a point the chase made them realised that they wont be fruitful in what they desire. Sheena closed her eyes and prayed to the god to save them. Suddenly, a lightning struck a tree and the branch collapsed to the ground. They all turned back and the fire started spreading towards Mohini,” who are you now to save those brats? The god.?” Disrespectfully questioned Malini To the approaching fire.

the fire transformed into A person , an old lady as said before, in one hand she had the wand filled with mystical magical powers and they other hand, a boy hugging her fear, it was none other than atul for whom she rescued from their home. The old lady said,” Atul tun as fast as you can, while I will join you people in a minute after controlling this demoness. Atul soon saw his sister and they hugged each other. Anamika was perplexed by the events, but the one who stood in gaze and astonishment was Amrutha and mohit. “ nani..” said Mohit and Amrutha said,” maa…” they all now realised that the dots are going to be connected and the end isn’t far from now.
