THE RULERS OF KHANSAAR ( PART 1 COMPLETED, PART 2 IS LOADING )

After Varadha left the room to look upon somework, Deva took the opportunity to approach Aarathi, who had remained behind. Her concern for both Deva and the situation at hand was evident in her focused expression.

Deva : Aarathi ! there's something else you need to know. Mythili... she's been through a lot more than she initially let on. I spoke with her in detail and she's in real danger. She confessed everything after I persuaded her.

Aarathi's eyes widened and her earlier composure is giving way to alarm.

Aarathi : What do you mean Deva ?  What's happened to her ? 

Deva took a deep breath and gathering his thoughts before he began.

Deva : Mythili told me that before coming to Khansaar, she was entangled with some dangerous people. She didn't go into too much detail, but it's clear that these individuals have been pursuing her for a while now. They harassed her extensively—threats, intimidation, and worse. Something that i can't say.

Aarathi's face paled as she listened.

Aarathi : And she came here to escape them ? 

Deva : No ! She came here after escaping from them. She was trying to protect herself and by extension also protect the people related to her.  But it seems like  her pursuers have managed to track her down. She came to Khansaar hoping to find safety.

Aarathi : This is more serious than I thought. How much does she know about these people ? Do we have any idea what they want ?

Deva : From what she shared, these people are ruthless and have a personal vendetta against her. They're not just random criminals—they seem to have a specific goal, but Mythili wasn't clear on the details. She's been too scared to reveal everything, fearing that it might endanger us further.

Aarathi : If they're targeting her, it's a direct threat to everyone here. We need to ensure Mythili's safety, and we need to find out more about these people. If they're this relentless, they might pose a danger to her friends out there too.

Deva : Exactly ! We need to act quickly. I've been thinking that we should keep Mythili under close protection and try to find out more about her pursuers. Perhaps we can use this information to turn the tables and protect her from further harm.

Aarathi's gaze was determined and her earlier apprehension replaced by a fierce resolve.

Aarathi : We need to be proactive. I'll coordinate with Varadha to increase the security around Mythili. We should also start an investigation into these people—find out who they are, what they want, and why they're after her.

Deva nodded and is  relieved by Aarathi's decisive response. He thought that Aarathi would  become after listening to the unfortunate situations faced by mythili.

Deva : I'll help with the investigation. I'll also make sure Mythili feels safe and supported. She's been through enough already.

Aarathi : Good. We need to be thorough. I'll make sure we have a solid plan in place. This situation is more complicated than we initially thought, but we'll handle it together.

As they spoke, a sense of urgency filled the room. Deva and Aarathi were both acutely aware of the gravity of the situation and the need for immediate action. Their focus shifted to ensuring Mythili's safety and unraveling the mystery behind her pursuers. The challenges ahead were formidable, but their combined determination and resourcefulness were their greatest assets.

With a plan forming, Deva and Aarathi prepared to confront the threats against Mythili, aware that their actions would be crucial in safeguarding not just one individual, but the entire community. The sense of impending danger loomed large, but their commitment to protecting those they cared about provided a beacon of hope in the face of adversity.
