The sign of my enemy

Solly and Raj continued working on CD.

" Why this computer", asked Raj.

" Because this CD is Numaan's work not Vikram's ", replied Solly.

" How so", asked Raj as he saw his friend type rapidly on screen.

The codes went above his head but it was fascinating to see Solly work. Completely in his element Solly started running a code which cleared encryptions protecting the CD.

" I need his Blackberry too", Solly murmured.

" Where is it", asked Raj.

" I have in my bag", said Solly.

Raj handed him his laptop bag.

Solly was now typing again. He attached both the devices to Vikram's computer.

And layers opened....

Meanwhile

Maddy was searching Riya's room as he found out a File. It was titled DEEPJYOTI PALACE. Maddy opened it. Riya's preliminary research on Ranjeet Singh was part of it.

" He hated snakes", said Maddy. " Hmm interesting".

Even Parry was searching. And found the book " True Love". And a note attached to it.

" Its for you dad. I hope he finds it one day and knows how I felt without him. And what I felt for him cannot be expressed but I try my best.

Riya

Parry kept it. Ramcharan has asked them to carry anything they deemed important.

The search continued as Maddy got a village name.

Illasa

" Any village you know with name Illasa", he asked his friend.

" No", said Parry. " Maybe the name changed.

" VILASSA", said Maddy. " The clan was named Vilassa from whom Vikram bought it. Raj has a detailed report".

" What about Vilassa", asked Parry.

" Lets search it on map", said Maddy.

At that time his cell rang.

Meanwhile

Rohit was looking at the photographs. Ramcharan sat with him explaining them.

" This is of Foundation day party of Riya's historical adventure. There are Vicky and Riya", he said.

A striking couple thought Ro.

He saw Sumeet Khurana. He was standing with Lisa, Alok and Laxmi.

Flirt thought Ro.

" Vikram did not trust your father", said Ramcharan.

" That makes two of us ", replied Ro dryly.

They moved onto a few clicks Vikram took in Elephanta. Ro's lips curved into a smile.

" Your son was resourceful ", he said.

" About her", said Ramcharan looking at Riya." HELL YEAH"!

They both chuckled.

Leafing through the photographs Ro saw an album titled Miss you...

" Lets open this", he said.

They did...

The very first photograph halted him in his tracks

Meanwhile

" Was it necessary to use this very computer", asked Raj to Solly.

" Yes", he replied still keen on his work. " Numaan altered compatibility of Vikram's devices. The things Vicky wants to hide will not open in any other computer. You won't be able to see those files and folders as they will be encrypted and will read empty. That's Numaan for you", said Solly.

Raj did not get all of it but he knew Solly did.

And then ....jackpot

" Here is it", said Solly.

" Cobra gets power from the ultimate evil. An ultimate sacrifice blesses you with power of Protector lord. The bones are a weapon . They are swords and shields. Use them wisely".

In next file was the mark of two interwined snakes.

" Cobra's mark", said Raj. " The sign of my enemy".

At that moment Parry entered with an excited Maddy.

" We have something", he said.

" What", asked Raj.

Maddy opened a map.

" Here look at this kingdom", he said.

" Vilassa", said Raj. " From whom Vikram bought the palace".

" Exactly but no such clan or kingdom exists before four centuries", said Maddy.

" Why", asked Raj.

" Simply because this clan belongs to Srikant Pundit who became king Ranjeet Singh as he ascended the throne", said Maddy.

That is why Aditya spared Ranjeet Singh. It was him Gunjan was with. No other man ever touched her. Raj should have felt relueved but no...this was Aditya's work. But what was Gunjan's fault?

" RAJ", said Ro as he entered with a baffled Ram.

" You got something", he said.

Ro showed him " Miss You", album.

" Vikram's photographs ", said Raj. " Did Riya make it"?

" That's what he wished for everyone to believe. But no", said Ro. " Now look keenly".

The four men stared hard ...

AND....

" HOLY SH*T. THE DEVIL", said Maddy.

" As I said a genius", smirked Raj.

" So he found out who his enemy was", asked Parry.

" Negative", said Raj. " Not in his life." Knowing Aditya he knew what would have happened if he did.

" Well if those photographs exist then so does the path to reach there", said Solly." Look here", he said clicking computer screen.

" Boy he was planning the b*stard's demise", said Parry.

" A link", said Solly. " See Raj this was what I talked about", he said. This link is a file stored on this device whereas link is in CD. Nowhere else you could open it", he said.

SOLLY OPENED THE LINK.

A video played.

" Hello prince of Thakur clan", smirked Vicky.

Raj was intrigued.

" I lnow that is where I will be reborn. Aditya was their ancestor. So if you reached here prince you must now know that my friend Vinod was innocent. The b*stard framed him. I need to protect my friends and their forecoming generations. And so everything should be hidden.Until you are here. Of course."

Vicky continued,

" To Numaan's apprentice Thank you for cracking this code. To Vinod's son your father is innocent. He was a good and loyal man. He tried to warn me but the b*stard found out. VINOD IS DEAD. I am sorry I could not save him. But here is a clue he left. The financial report he caught." A link was shown.

" I don't want to lead your investigation but an advice. Do not trust anybody. He still is someone close home. Do background research and go ahead. Interwined snakes that is the mark of my enemy. It will be on his body anywhere".

All the best."

The screen showed Tarun and Vishnu both dead and cobra marks on them.

" Lastly", continued Vicky " I talk to my descendant. Alok's kid", he smiled. " I hope you are a boy", he said. " Padmanabh left me a note. He promised me that when I return back to my clan he will join me too in partial sense. I don't know what that means. But I hope Gautam my friend my confidant my teacher I meet you again and you forgive me too. Agni told me those 4 will be back.".

He sighed.

" Kishan, Dheeraj,Lakhan and Adheer I love you guys Hope to see you again."

AND THEN HE STUNED THEM ALL

" All for one and one for all", said Vicky.

The friends who lost each other four centuries ago now realised why they came back.
