Sarang
holds Bali and tries to revive him. Sarang feels that this has
something to do with the wrong act of Bali to urinate near that tree
with red stones. Already frightened and demoralized Sarang curses
Bali for his adventurism on wrong occasions. He sees that luckily for
them Bali had become unconscious due to pain and in the bottle there
was nothing so harmful that can faint him. The bottle contained in it
some tincture of Mercurochrome. Sarang takes it and applies on his
wounds. While he was doing it he hears some sounds of steps
approaching that place. Sarang look up and sees that two young men
were standing away from them on the passage and they were about to
approach him.
Sarang
guesses that they must be people staying in that house and so he
pleads for their help. To his surprise they slowly move towards the
house not even looking to him and his friend. They enter into the
house. This behavior of these two young men was very queer for
Sarang. He was expecting that looking to the condition of Bali, at
least they should have come to ask for help but nothing of that sort
happened. Sarang decides to leave that creepy place and he with great
efforts tries to hold Bali and begins to walk towards their car.
Dragging Bali along. He knew that ones they are in car they will not
stop at anything, make beeline to Bhujangnath's place. By now Bali
had begun to get consciousness and he responded to Sarang as he could
walk with efforts. With much efforts finally they reach the car and
they see that doors of their car were wide open. Sarang wondered if
they had left them open or what? He could not recollect. That was no
time to think on those things. They got into the car and now Sarang
at the steering wheel they started the car and shot away. Sarang was
profusely sweating even though it was not very hot at that hour.
Slowly Bali comes out of the swoon and begins to look around. "Thank
god, things were not that bad. At least I got some first aid!"
Bali blurts out to himself. Then he makes himself more comfortable in
his seat and looking to Sarang with a smile tells him now he feels
better. At that time Sarang was thinking about those two young people
he saw near that house. He wonders, from where they came and how is
it that they did not even bothered to look at him or his friend?
Sarang
tells Bali about those two men and on hearing that Bali suggests that
they should go back and meet them so that they may be able to get
some place to rest. Sarang tells him that the behavior of those two
men was not normal, they even did not bother to look at them while
Sarang was in need of help. On hearing that Bali brushes it away and
tells him that they may not be of the type who look around, they may
be of the type who mind their own business. Sarang refuses to return
back to that creepy place. He was already much afraid of that place
and he did not want to encourage any more of adventurism of his
friend.
Bali
repeatedly requested Sarang to go back to that house but Sarang was
in no mood to listen to him. The car kept on at speed moving towards
the place of Bhujangnath. Bleeding of Bali's wound had stopped and
now he was feeling much better. Bali tells Sarang that he is not in
fever of connecting that event of falling and wound to any other
matter such as that creepy house or even Hemant. He opined that if
Hemant was involved in any of these things then, as per their
previous experience, they would hear the sound of moaning of Hemant
as it always happened whenever Hemant encountered them. Sarang agrees
to it that point and accepts the suggestion of Bali that all that
happened was a pure accident and has nothing particular to be
considered seriously. Nevertheless, Sarang in his mind was feeling
that something is accompanying them while they were traveling in that
car. They were cruising, none was talking and that was because both
of them had some doubts about all that had happened. Even though Bali
brushed it aside as mere accident in his mind he was doubting that
thought of his. He did not want his friend to become panicky, he knew
his friend was an emotional type of a person and wanted to keep him
safe from all those creepy ideas. After some time Bali broke silence
by asking Sarang, "How much more we have to go"?
"Another
ten minutes of run and we shall be probably at the Matt of
Bhujangnath". Sarang replied quietly. Even though blood flow had
stopped Bali was now having a mild head pain due to that fall, he was
holding his head trying to content that pain.
