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

42

The weight of the situation bore heavily on Deva and Aarathi as they made their plans. Deva's resolve solidified when he decided that the best way to protect Mythili and uncover more about her pursuers was to confront the threat directly. He believed that drawing the unknown assailants out might give them an opportunity to understand their motives and neutralize the danger.

Deva : Aarathi !  I think it's crucial for me to go with Mythili and intentionally expose ourselves to these pursuers. If we can find out more about them and their intentions, we'll be in a better position to act.

Aarathi : Are you sure about this ? It's risky. We don't know how dangerous these people are.

Deva : I'm sure. I need to do this to ensure Mythili's safety and to protect Khansaar. We've seen the warning signs, and I believe this is the best way to handle it.

Aarathi : Protect Khansaar ?  

Deva : You will know the meaning behind my words soon.

Aarathi studied Deva for a moment and then nodded with a reluctant but supportive expression.

Aarathi : Alright. But be careful. And make sure Mythili understands the risks involved.

Deva and Aarathi left the room to find Mythili, who was anxiously pacing nearby. When she saw them, her worry was evident.

Mythili : What's going on ? Did you decide what to do ? 

Deva : Yes, I'm going with you. We're going to draw out these pursuers and find out what they want. But I need you to trust me on this. We'll be cautious and prepared.

Mythili's eyes were filled with concern.

Mythili : I appreciate your willingness to help.  Deva, but I've never seen you fight. I don't know what kind of fighter you are. What if something happens ? 

Deva : I understand your concerns. But your safety is my priority and you are my responsibility now. I'll do everything I can to protect you.

Mythili took a deep breath, finding some solace in Deva's assurance. Despite her fears, she felt comforted by his presence and determination.

Mythili : Alright. I'll trust you. Let's just make sure we're as prepared as possible.

Deva : We will be.

Mythili called an old friend of hers to gujarat. She is  a scholar named Noor who resides in Dubai. Noor was known for her expertise in various languages including her mother tongue Arabic. Mythili had hoped that Noor could help them with a crucial task.

Noor : Hello Mythili !  it's been a long time. How are you ?

Mythili : Hello Noor ! I'm good. How are you ? 

Noor : I'm fantastic. What made you to call me here ? I can sense seriousness in your face.

Mythili : Actually we need your help with something urgent. I have a book written in Arabic that need to be translated. We can't have anyone else from my place involved in this as it's sensitive information.

Noor's curiosity was piqued but she nodded by understanding the gravity of the situation.

Noor : I see. Let me have a look at the book.

Deva handed over the ancient-looking volume. Noor carefully examined it by noting the intricate script and aged pages.

Noor : This is quite an old text. I'll start translating it immediately. But be aware, it might take some time to fully understand it, depending on its complexity.

Mythili : Thank you Noor. We appreciate your help. We need the translation as soon as possible.

Noor : I'll  do my best. I'll keep you updated on my progress.

As Noor began her work, Deva and Mythili left the place . The weight of their mission is pressing heavily on their shoulders. Mythili looked at Deva with a mix of worry and gratitude.

With their tasks set and their resolve firm, Deva and Mythili prepared to face the challenges ahead. Deva was ready to confront the threats head-on, while Mythili hoped that the translation of the book would provide crucial insights into the danger they faced.

As they walked back towards the Car, their thoughts were filled with the anticipation of what lay ahead. The book's translation might hold the key to understanding the true nature of the threats against them and Deva's plan to confront the pursuers was a crucial step in ensuring her safety. The path ahead was fraught with uncertainty, but their determination and trust in each other provided a beacon of hope amidst the growing shadows.

..............

As Deva and Mythili entered the secluded clearing, the sense of impending confrontation grew more intense. The quiet of the area was abruptly broken by the appearance of a large group of around fifty masked figures emerging from the surrounding trees and rocks. Their aggressive stance and menacing expressions made their intentions clear.

Leader of the Mob : There she is ! Capture her ! 

Deva's face hardened with resolve. He placed a reassuring hand on Mythili's shoulder.

Deva : Stay behind me !
