Chapter-87

The word link suddenly alarmed Ashok with the sudden change in his attitude. Yuvan was silent for a while leaving all of them worried.

'I am now really getting closer to that psycho day by day. Abhik, go and get the details of all the homicides that happened in Dashur and Charan collect files regarding the arson in Sayyonee and make a list of the residents who died in the fire. Ashok, most importantly, got Alok from school now. He is the last witness. And yes, I need the report within the evening.'

'Lord, then you??'

'I have a very important task here.'

'Huh??'

'Aiyah!! Charan let my bruddah stay here as he wants to apologize to someone and make up.' Abhik dragged dimwit Charan and left the mansion leaving Apu and Yuvan in an ignominious state. Yuvan looked at Amanya with a tint of guilt. He knows that she may be scared and worried as he has never lost his temper in her presence. He could see her being uncomfortable at the moment.

"I.. that.." Yuvan started to blabber looking at her eyes.

"I know, you were exhausted and lost control over your emotions. It's fine. I understand you; no need to explain." Amanya lightened his burden. That was a relief for him. Amidst the chaos gifted by the devil and her serpents, he couldn't afford to disappoint his love. Until evening, all the maids in the mansion were ordered to stay away from the inner garden, her favourite place in the mansion. To spend time with her, even on such a day, was worth it for him.

By sunset, Abhik and Charan returned. They stormed in, sweating "Bruddah, we got big news!"

"All those who died with lilies beside them were related to the arson, right?" Yuvan mitigated.

"Yes!!" They nodded.

'But why such a big drama for a small village?'

'I think an important serpent died in the arson in Sayyonee; someone very dear to her and she is seeking vengeance personally.'

'Then all the events can be reasoned.' Abhik concluded his brother's judgement.

Hearing Yuvan and Abhik's conclusions, she was relieved (maybe serpents had pushed them to the corner so hard that they lost their intellect).

'Apu, according to you, what will your commander do?'

'Commander is known for her vengeance. If all this is for Sayyonee, I support her.'

'Apu, I know maybe she is right but you have to help us. We have our own rules and judiciary. Please...'

'If this is for Sayyonee, then she will present him to the deserved. She will offer him to quench their thirst..'

"The temple.." Yuvan suddenly realized.
