The kitchen is getting burnt. Avni stuck inside and fire burns her skin and she screams. Neil is shouting. Avni faints. Neil screams, “I’ll die in the fire as I can’t live after your death.” Neil jumps into the fire. He remains unaffected by the fire. The Avni’s body gets burnt completed. Neil shouts from his bottom of the throat.
45 minutes ago,
After Neil escaped from the vase thrown by Avni, Avni falls unconscious. Neil runs and holds her. Neil makes her rest on the bed. He sprinkles some drops of water on Avni. Avni wakes up and stays numb for two minutes and even Neil do the same. Neil could not understand what Avni spoke and what she did. But Avni is clueless why she screamed like that and why she threw a vase on Neil and regrets for that. Neil breaks the silence, “Avni, you rest here. I shall call the doctor now.” Neil is about to leave the room, but Avni asks him to come back.
“Neil, I have seen some weird things in my dream. You said that Nayan and you were serpents in your previous birth. But I saw you and me as serpents, Neil,” says Avni nervously.
Neil is stumbled to hear that. After Nayantara and Tara’s exit from their house, he decided not to overthink about those facts regarding shape-shifting serpents.
Avni breaks his thoughts by continuing, “I have heard someone shouting relentlessly ‘Its the beginning, not the end. Apart from that, I saw a house in the middle of the water area, a burning temple and a cruel murder of a couple and a lady screaming something.”
Neil gets into thinking. Avni is sitting scared covered her body, excluding the face with a bed sheet. “Shall we call Nayantara for help?” asks Avni. Neil didn’t reply. Avni says, “I think this place have some strong connection for us. Other than Nayantara, there is some other thing hidden in this place or we haven’t checked thoroughly what we get.”
Neil – “Shall we look at her diary and photographs again?”
Avni – “There is no use of that, Neil. We shall search the house once again. I am going downstairs and you can search here”
Neil nods and he starts to search. Avni goes downstairs and looks into the room which is attached to the stairs.
It was locked. Avni brings a hammer and breaks the lock. She gets inside the room and switched on the light. The room looks so tidy and it didn’t look like it was locked for several months or years. To her surprise, there were one more stairs in that room that could take her even down. The floor in the bottom was not made up of concrete or tiles, but it was made up of wood.
She keeps her leg on the wood and it feels like she is walking on a wet soil due to the improper placement of wood slabs. As she steps forward, the wood pressed into the soil more. Avni kneels down and removes one piece of wood from the floor, which comes up easily without a stress. She even removes wood from the floor and shocked to see a portrait. The portrait was full of wet mud. She wipes the photo with her shawl and it was Manyata’s (Nayan’s mom) death portrait.
She noticed the rusted wood border of the portrait which was minutely carved and noticed some details written in the portrait about her birth and death. Avni is shocked as she saw something fishy in the portrait. She covers the mud with the wooden floor pieces and goes upstairs where Neil is there. Neil looks at the portrait of Manyata. Before he is to figure out what Avni said, Nayantara and Tara come back breaking the windows of the house which shocks the couple.
Tara’s eyes burn with vengeance whereas Nayantara’s anger is evident in her attitude. Neil and Avni stand confused. Neil – “So, what do you want now? Have you found the murderer?”
Tara drags Neil and pushed him downstairs and he rolled down on the stairs. He is severely injured. Avni comes down and looks at the injured Neil, who is passively conscious. She goes to the kitchen for taking water. Tara and Nayan comes back and looks at Avni and smirks at Neil. Tara recites some mantra so that the kitchen where Avni standing was ignited fire
Avni couldn’t come out and fire burns her skin and she screams. Neil is shouting. Avni faints falling down. Neil screams, “I’ll die in the fire as I can’t live after your death.” Neil jumps into the fire. He remains unaffected by the fire which shocks him again. The Avni’s body gets burnt completed. Neil shouts from his bottom of the throat – “Avni… Hey, heartless spirits! Why are you all after me? We are innocent. If you feel we are not innocent, kill me and leave her. Please!” He throws things out of anger and shouts. He goes crazy and hurts himself.
Tara comes in her spirit form and laughs at Neil. “This is what, we want Neil. We want you to suffer the pain what we and our parents undergone. You’re the murderer and you’ve again succeeded by your black magic theories. You killed us for your selfish desire. Whatever Nayan saw by touching your dimples is your black magic!”
Each word of Tara is fuelling Neil’s anger. He takes the kerosene and about to pour on himself.
Tara stops him, saying – “There is no use of it by pouring it on you. Afterall, you won’t die.”
The scorched dead body of Avni in the kitchen becomes Nayantara. Neil sighs in relief, but still confused whether his Avni is safe. Nayantara stands up and smirks at Neil.
Nayantara – “This is just a trailer to hurt you. We won’t kill you or your soul easily, Neil.”
Avni comes downstairs opening the closed door of her room. Her hands have some bruises which is evident that she was tied by a rope tightly. Neil checks her whether she was alright. Avni cries hearing what Neil’s scream.
Nayan – “So, your poor hubby has attempted to kill himself in order not to see your death.”
Avni shouts – “But you are so cruel to kill him when it is proved that we are innocent.”
Tara – “You’re not innocent. Neil fooled us with his black magic.”
Avni – “He is not a liar. You are fools who don’t have any idea about your murderer for almost 34 years. You don’t know anything about your mother also. And you are trying to kill us.”
Nayan – “How dare you!”
Avni – “Shut up! You don’t even know when your mother died. You’re a useless and helpless soul.”
Avni threw the photograph of Manyata. Tara and Nayan look at the details of the photograph. Avni throws the photograph book where her family photos are present.
Avni – “Tara died on 10 February 1984. You and your father died someday on February 1984. But your mom died on January 10, 1990. In these six years, where was she? It is evident that she lived here in those 6 years and her prescriptions, medicines, some of the bank documents and other bill states that clearly that your mother was alive. But your diary says that she was dead in 1984.”
Nayan – “On that day, Yuvraj (Neil’s previous birth) came to our house and he beat my mom and hits her with an iron rod. She becomes unconscious. Before we could check her, he killed me and my dad. These evidences are strong that my mom was alive for the next six years. But how is that possible?”
Neil – “How many times should I say, I didn’t kill your family or you? It was that Samar. If you and Tara is staying here in the world, then where is your parents? They were also died by someone’s hands, right?”
Nayan is about to shout at him, but Tara stops her.
Tara – “Neil’s point have some sense. His feelings while seeing Avni burnt was real. There are chances that he was spelled black-magic by someone. But it is true that our mother lived six-more years without us.”
Nayan – “There are a bunch of confusions now. We should seek help from sorcerer or magician. But spirits could not do that. You both are going to do that.”
Avni tells them what she saw in flashes them. Neil tells his flashes too, where he saw Nayan and he was shape-shifting serpents. Nayantara and Tara used their magic and cured Avneil’s body bruises and wounds.
The next day,
The doorbell rings. A sorcerer enters and introduces himself as Goraknath. After completing some etiquettes, Avni and Neil called the spirits. Before Neil is about to say about the problems, Gorakhnath stops him.
Goraknath – “I know about your story and also about your problems. Its god’s wish to help you in the form of mine. Call the spirits, beta.”
Neil calls them. Tara and Nayantara appears in front of them. Goraknath is shocked to see them.
Goraknath points at Nayan – “You’re Alice, right.”
Nayantara – “I am not Alice, I am Nayantara. I don’t know anyone called Alice.”
Neil – “Yeah, she is Nayantara who is linked with our past birth.”
Goraknath stares at Nayantara.
Goraknath – “How is it possible if she is not Alice? She resembles Alice exactly. Alice and Avni-Neil are interrelated to each other since 250 years.”
Neil – “250 years? That’s not possible. She is related only to me not Avni. That too only in the past birth. Who is that Alice now?”
Goraknath – “First of all, you need to understand some things now. The flashes Neil and Avni got is, because of their first birth, second birth and their previous birth for a reason of your deeds.”
Neil – “Gurudev!”
Goraknath – “I haven’t completed yet. As a soul (points at Nayan), you must be remembering all your births. When you say, you don’t know Alice, Nayan is not Alice’s reincarnation and the vice-versa. But how do you both share same faces even the mole at your hairline looks similar?”
Avni – “Gurudev! Seven people in the world share same faces. It is not questionable.”
Goraknath – “But, they never share similar moles or scars. Even in reincarnation, people never share these minute physical things from past birth. But she looks like, perfect carbon copy of Alice. I don’t know accurately about the previous birth of you, but I am sure something is fishy with Nayan”
Avni – “But Gurudev!”
Goraknath – “Alice lived in the 17th century. I mean in your second birth post your curse. Nayantara lived in 1980s i.e in your third birth or previous birth. There are two hundred year gap, still she resembles like Alice even though she is the not the reincarnation nor share Alice’s lineage. But how did she get the same face? What is the mystery behind Manyata?”
