Part
27
Sarang
and Bali decide to go to tantrik baba Bhujangnath. They were in hurry
to meet him as Bali was worrying for his little daughter. Bali had
envisaged that Ghost of Hemant is wanting to kill his little daughter
also. And that had terrified him.
"What
wrong that little girl has done to this ghost, tell me?" Bali
shouts to Sarang in a frenzy. This time it was Sarang's car and he
was driving it.
"Why
don't you say something?" Bali asks to Sarang repeatedly.
"How
can I know what is in the mind of that spirit? " Sarang replies
quietly.
We
have to see Bhujangnath to find out what all that means. After some
pause Sarang asks Bali, "Can we take your daughter also to
Bhujangnath, it may help get to the solution?"
Bali
does not say anything on that and they drop that idea as the little
girl was to small to be taken to that eerie place. Moreover, they
remember that strange house in which they were trapped before
reaching Bhujangmanth's house.
Bali
blurt out, "I hope no untoward incidence happens this time".
Bali was talking in a mood of a person not in his mind and looks that
he was worried about his little daughter's safety.
Sarang
could understand his condition as he was also having children. They
continued to the road leading towards Bhujangnath's place. This time
they had started quiet early and so they expected to reach the place
while the Sun is still shining.
The
road was quiet and the travel was pretty quick and they had almost
completed the path and at that Sarang tells Bali that he wants to
relieve him and asks him if he also wants to do something. Bali seems
to be in a different mood and says nothing to him. Stopping the car
Sarang comes out and walks towards the other side of the road and
chooses a spot not visible from the car and begins the nature's call.
While he was seated and not in a position to see the car and his
friend, he overhears some heated conversation and he could easily
know that other fellow shouting was his friend, Bali. Sarang was not
in position to move as the situation was pretty awkward. He tries to
listen but the sound was not clear. It was definitely some type of
wrangle and not any simple argument. He was also aware that his
friend was having the habit of starting row over nothing. He now
hears a sound as if something heavy was thrown down the place. He
hurriedly finishes the call and comes out of the hiding hardly
managing his trousers; and looks to the car. To his surprise he does
not see Bali sitting in his seat.
"What
is the problem? Sarang shouts and keeps coming to the car almost
running. As he comes closer to it he could not see Bali in the car.
Sarang looks around but there was no trace of his friend. He hears
some weak sound of moaning coming from the creek that was on one side
of the road. Impatiently he comes on that side and looks down in that
creek. There he sees his friend had fallen down and was barely
resting on the small projection on one side of the slope. That sight
shocks Sarang and he could not know what to do and how to get Bali
out of that spot. Sarang could notice that Bali was not unconscious
but was not in position that he can come out and save himself. Bali
was in pain as the fall had broken his ribs. He tells Sarang that he
should call for help and also tells him that if they do not get any
help in time he may drop down the steep creak slope and that could
mean his sure death.
"But
how it happened?" asks Sarang.
Without
replying to him Bali tells him that if there is any strong rope in
the Dicky trunk of his car he should take it out and throw it to him
and try to pull him over to the road. Sarang luckily did have a
strong rope in his trunk and immediately does that and tries to throw
it to Bali. After some unsuccessful attempts finely he could do it
and Bali holds on that rope. However, Sarang was not strong enough to
pull Bali out of that place. Bali tells him that, Sarang should tie
the other end of the rope to some nearby tree so that Bali will
attempts to pull himself by pulling on the rope. There were many
strong trees in the vicinity and that was pretty good for them.
Sarang does as Bali had told and asks his friend that he can now try
to pull himself out from that place. Here Bali could find his
training during their college days of climbing mountains very
helpful. Finally, Sarang adding his little strength to help the
process of pulling, Bali is out of that predicament. As Bali come
out, his closes were all smeared with mountain soil and he was
scratched in many places on his body, his shirt was torn but Bali was
not out of spirit. As he stands near the tree where the rope was tied
up. He looks to Sarang and holding his hand he tells Sarang something
that further shocks Sarang. They decide to wait for some time and
regain their lost spirit.
"It
was too close; my dear friend," Bali exclaims in a frightened
voice. Sarang was panting as he had never done such an backbreaking
workout in many years. He tells his friend, "Bali, it was close
but not the end! We shall survive all attempts of this Hemant".
