Pratapgarh (Rajasthan)
In a magnificent room, three girls were sitting on a bed. All three were wearing Rajasthani clothes and all three were very beautiful and lovely. The three girls were between twenty and twenty-two years old. In front of them, many books were open, which appeared to be secret and mysterious books. Those books were quite old but due to good maintenance, all their pages were bound together, retaining their glory and knowledge. Some of these books were in Greek, some in Tibetan, and some were written in Sanskrit, the world's most ancient language. The three of them were lost in those books when suddenly one of them, whose name was Vaishali, said, "Chandra, how will this work? No matter how hard we try with these thick books, we won't understand anything."
Tara said, "Yes, for the first time, this dim-wit is speaking the truth. We need a guru, otherwise, all this effort will be in vain."
Chandra said, "I know, but what can I do? We have returned from Bombay after a full seven years. Now, no one will let us go anywhere again."
Tara said, "That's true, but it's been more than six months since we arrived. Let's try talking, perhaps permission will be granted."
Vaishali said, "Yes, Tara is right. You talk to the King first."
Chandra said, "Okay."
Just then, Tara gestured something to Vaishali, which Vaishali couldn't understand and started making strange faces. Then Tara kicked Vaishali on her back and gestured again. After being hit, Vaishali's mind started working, and she nodded her head in agreement.
Vaishali said, "Chandra, we heard that the King is going to get you married. Perhaps the boy's family has been contacted."
Chandra exclaimed, "What, when, where, how, with whom?"
Tara, covering her ears, said, "First, stop shouting and calm down, sister, otherwise if the Queen sees us making a fuss, she will throw us out of the house for disturbing the peace. Last week, when the King went to Madhavgarh, he met Rudra Thakur, the only son of King Jaimal Thakur from there. He is said to be very brave."
Chandra said irritably, "If he's brave, so be it, but I'm not going to get married yet."
Vaishali moved a little closer and said, "Don't get married, or all this hard work will go to waste, all this learning will be for nothing. At least let us know what kind of gem it is that the King has hidden in the library and is guarding so heavily."
Tara said, "Yes, and along with it, that book. That book contains information in old languages."
Chandra said dreamily, "Hmm, that's what I want to know too. And that book also talks about that gem, and there might be much more."
Then, the three of them delved into the depths of the past. A door also opened at the back of the Singh Bhavan. At the back, there was a very beautiful garden. The three friends were playing there when they saw Devraj Singh talking to a person who looked like a fakir. The fakir took out a strange book from his bag and gave it to Devraj Singh, then took out a gem. It was very beautiful to look at. Seeing the gem, the three girls moved a little closer and hid behind a tree. They couldn't hear much, only heard the fakir telling Devraj Singh.
The fakir said, "Son, this gem has a lot of power. It can do anything. If it falls into the hands of a wicked person, it will be a disaster. And this book contains information on how to awaken and control the powers of this gem."
Devraj said, "Baba, if it is so powerful by itself, why does it need protection?"
The fakir said, "No matter how powerful a mechanism is, if it remains dormant, it cannot provide any protection. And leaving such powers constantly awakened can harm nature. And you are the only one who can protect it at this time."
Devraj said, "As the saints command, I accept it. Please bless me so that I can protect it even at the cost of my life. But Baba, how long do I have to protect it?"
The fakir said, "Until its rightful owner comes and asks for it from you. When she comes, she will tell you about me and give you my full introduction, which very few people know, and you are one of them. Give it to her, understand? May God bless you."
Saying this, the fakir left from there, and Devraj took the book and the gem and went inside. The three girls also started following them. Devraj went to his library with the gem and the book and closed the door. Just then, the three of them jumped through the window and came inside. The library was very large and beautiful. They saw Devraj remove a picture from the wall, and behind it was a hole. Just the size of a brick. Devraj put his hand in it and opened the lock, and the entire wall opened and split into two parts. Now, there was no wall in front, but a large room. Devraj went inside.
Tara said with wide eyes, "Oh Lord, this is not a wall, but a chamber."
Vaishali covered her mouth and said, "Shh... shh... quiet. If the King finds out we came here behind him, we'll be in big trouble. Be quiet."
Chandra said, "Let's see from there where Father keeps that stone and that strange book."
Then the three of them moved a little further and saw Devraj closing the book and the gem in a box and turning to come out. Seeing Devraj coming out, all three hid under the table there, and Devraj went out. Then the three of them also came back out through the window. Coming out of the pages of the past, the three of them looked at each other's faces. There was only silence between them. Breaking this silence, Tara said, "No doubt, the secret of that gem is in that book, but what is it that it is being guarded so heavily? We only heard half of what that Baba said. What kind of gem is it, whose is it? We don't know anything."
Chandra said firmly, "We friends will solve the puzzle of this gem."
All three nodded their heads in agreement and placed their hands on each other's, indicating their unity. Tara said, "What will we do?"
Vaishali said with a sparkle in her eyes, "I have a way."
What will happen next in this story? What is Vaishali's way? And what is the secret of this gem? To know, stay tuned to Mohini (Thirst of the Witch).

Chandra's Room,
After hearing Vaishali's words, both of them stare at her, when Chandra says!
Chandra, "Look Vishu, if it's some reverse method, then keep it with you. Anyway, your mind works a bit too much in reverse!"
Tara also nods her head in agreement with Chandra's statement, seeing which Vaishali's face falls. Vaishali looks at both of them for a while and then, getting annoyed, says.
Vaishali (annoyed), "You both have reached a conclusion without even listening. I absolutely don't like this habit of yours. Oh, just listen once, but no, they have to declare the result without listening."
Chandra and Tara were taken aback for a moment by her outburst because Vaishali was not the type to shout like this. She didn't get angry easily. Her getting angry like this meant that she must have had a good plan. So, Tara tried to calm her down and said.
Tara, "Vish Ai... See, don't get angry like this. We didn't mean anything that you're thinking."
Tara and Chandra look at each other, then Chandra speaks.
Chandra (lovingly), "Vishu, see, I didn't mean to hurt you, but if you're still hurt by my words, then forgive us."
Tara, "Forget all this and tell us what you were saying? What way do you have?"
Tara's words prompt Chandra to nod her head in agreement. Both of them sit there, completely silent and serious. Seeing them like this, Vaishali slaps her forehead.
Vaishali, "You both are sitting as if we are about to pronounce a sentence on you right now. Oh, it's a very simple matter: we should all go to the library and read that book. That book contains all the information about the jewel, and according to that ascetic baba, it also contains information about many other powers."
Tara, "You're saying it, but going to the library, entering that secret room, and reading that book is not as easy as eating a rasgulla. Understand?"
Chandra, "What's the harm in trying once? If we succeed, the work will be done."
Vaishali, "Yes, so it's decided. After a while, when everyone goes to rest, we'll go to get that book. And if anyone sees us or asks anything, we'll say we're going to the garden."
Everything was decided among them. They just had to wait for everything to become quiet. While they were still talking, Tara's gaze fell outside the window, where a girl with a glass of milk in her hand, excessively adorned, was entering a room. Seeing her, Tara's face soured, and she gestured to them to look there.
Tara, "Chandra, why does Malti always roam around Veerendra Bhai Sah like a ghost?"
Vaishali, "Who wears so much makeup on normal days? How does she manage with so many ornaments?"
Tara, "I don't think her character is right either. It also seems like her parents died this year."
Hearing their conversation, Chandra abruptly gets off the bed and starts to go out of the room.
Chandra, "Put all these books in the chest, lest someone sees them."
Saying this, she leaves the room and heads towards the same room where Malti had just entered.
Chandra was the first child of Devraj Singh, the king of Pratapgarh, and the darling of her mother Gayatri Singh. She had two younger brothers, Veerendra and Amarendra, whom she loved dearly.
On the other hand,
Veerendra's Room,
Veerendra was sitting on the edge of his bed, holding a letter in one hand and milk in the other. Standing gracefully in front of him was Malti. She was wearing a green lehenga-choli, with the neckline of her choli slightly deeper in both the front and back. She had deliberately kept her pallu loose in such a way that her attractive body was visible. She was laughing at something, and Veerendra was also laughing, but his gaze was fixed on the ground. He hadn't looked at Malti even once. Just then, Chandra enters the room. Seeing them laughing like that, her blood boils. She speaks from the doorway.
Chandra, "Oh Malti, what are you doing here?"
Hearing Chandra's voice, Malti very cleverly adjusts her front pallu. Now her body was completely covered from the front, and her long, open hair also covered her back. It didn't seem at all that she was standing so immodestly. Malti turns around with a smile.
Malti (muttering to herself), "Jeeji, I came to give Kunwar Sah some milk."
Chandra (in a calm tone), "You've given it, so now go. I need to talk to Kunwar Sah."
Malti leaves the room and stands near the window on the other side, listening to their conversation. After Malti leaves, Veerendra says to Chandra.
Veerendra, "Jeeji, what do you need to talk about?"
Chandra (in an explaining tone), "Look Veer, you are not a child anymore. You are a complete man and the future king of Pratapgarh. So, develop seriousness in your personality."
Veerendra, with his head bowed, says to Chandra.
Veerendra, "Jeeji, did I make a mistake?"
Chandra (nodding her head in agreement), "Yes, you made a mistake. Look Veer, you are currently the prince and the future king. So, don't you think that anyone can just walk into your room? Tomorrow, you will have a lot of secret information, and your responsibility will increase, not decrease. If you are not serious, how will it work?"
Veerendra, "Yes, Jeeji, I will be careful in the future."
While explaining to Veerendra, Chandra's voice became a bit heavier. She was slowly getting angry. She continued her point in her sharp style.
Chandra, "And one more thing, engrave this in your heart: apart from the women of your family, you cannot talk and laugh like this with any other woman. Do you understand? Because this behavior of yours can put a question mark on both your personality and character. (Pointing her finger) Do you understand?"
Veerendra, "Yes, I will be careful in the future."
Chandra smiles, takes the milk from his hand, and leaves. Coming outside, she pours the full glass of milk into a nearby pot. Malti sees Chandra throwing away the milk. Her face turns red, and she starts to tremble with anger.
Afternoon,
Singh Bhavan,
Everyone had finished their meal, and most of the work was completed. Only a few people were awake because the rule here was that all the servants would rest in the afternoon after finishing all their work. Everyone was resting in their rooms, and Devraj Singh was in his room, reconciling some accounts. Vaishali was walking around, looking at everything. When she was sure that everyone had gone, she ran up the stairs and entered Tara's room, where Tara and Chandra were already sitting.
Vaishali (panting), "Let's go, everyone is gone. The path is clear. Let's go to the library."
The three of them started to go towards the library stealthily because going that way was forbidden. That library was Devraj Singh's private library. Another library had been built for everyone else. As they were going, they saw Devendra Ji coming from the front. The three of them quickly hid behind the wall. Devendra Ji didn't see them and left. Then the three of them reached the library and jumped through the window to get inside. Then, without making a sound, they reached this wall and removed that picture.
Tara, "Chandra, open the door quickly. If Raja Sah catches us, we'll be in big trouble."
Chandra inserts her hand into the hole and turns the lock, then the wall splits into two parts, and the three of them go inside. Upon entering, they see that the room was very large, filled with many books, a treasure trove of secret knowledge. Then their gaze falls on a corner of the room. In that corner, a chest was placed on a wooden plank. Upon seeing the chest, all three recognized it as the chest where Devraj Ji had kept the mysterious jewel and the book. Vaishali runs and starts to pick up the chest, but the chest was heavy, due to which she couldn't manage it.
Vaishali, "It only contains a book and a small jewel, so why is it so heavy?"
Tara, holding the chest.
Tara, "Oh, it's not just a jewel, it's a treasure trove of powers. It's bound to be heavy."
Then they both place the chest on a nearby table and, as they are about to open it, they see that the chest is locked and tied with red thread. An iron nail is stuck in the keyhole. Seeing this, Chandra holds her head.
Chandra (disheartened), "Father has sealed this chest. We cannot open it."
Tara, "What do we do now?"
Chandra, "What now? Nothing, because it can only be opened by the 'utkilan vidhi' (nailing method), and we don't know that. Now we need a guru even more."
Vaishali, "All this hard work has gone to waste. Now we should leave from here first."
Then all three leave from there and return to their rooms stealthily, the same way they came. On the other side, Malti was pacing back and forth in her room because ever since Chandra had scolded Veerendra, despite Malti's many attempts, Veerendra had not spoken to her. She was boiling with anger because of this.
Malti (angrily), "I will deal with this Chandra. I will settle all scores. (Then looking at herself in the mirror) Veer Ji, I will definitely have you. You are only mine. Because of this Chandra, you are not talking to me. (Then gritting her teeth angrily) Chandra, I will not spare you. You did wrong by coming between me and my Veer Ji. I will not spare you, absolutely not!"
She looked completely mad at this moment.
What will happen next in this story? Will these three friends be able to unravel the mystery of this jewel? And who is this Malti, and what will she do? To know everything, stay tuned to Mohini (The Thirsty Witch).

Tara's Room
All three were sitting dejectedly. Just looking at them, one could understand how sad they were.
Tara (sadly) "This is what they call, the morsel reached the mouth but didn't go into the stomach. All the hard work is wasted."
Vaishali "What should we do now? We can't just sit like this, think of something."
Chandra "What is there to do now? We first have to learn all those things that will help in unlocking the secret of that gem. For this, we first have to find a guru, who will give us the right direction and lead us to our goals."
Tara "That's all fine, but first, you talk to Raja Sa and tell him that you will not get married yet, because once you are married, you will be bound by relationships and traditions."
Vaishali "Yes, and then all the hard work done so far will be wasted. All the studies we have done about these practices will be ruined."
Tara, thinking something, asks Chandra.
Tara to Chandra, "Chandra, tell me one thing, why did you ask us to learn Tibetan and also old languages like Greek and Latin? When only the Sanskrit language is needed for all these."
Chandra "I once heard father and our Kul Purohit talking."
Vaishali "What did you hear?"
Chandra, hearing Vaishali's question, starts getting lost in the pages of the past. Drowning in the ocean of the past, she remembers that it was the time of Navratri, Mother's worship and rituals were happening everywhere, and the atmosphere was auspicious all around. A sixteen-year-old girl was holding a box in her hand, in which there were many kinds of ornaments. She stops outside a room. The door of that room was closed. The girl slowly opened the door slightly and saw her father, Devraj Ji, and their Kul Purohit standing near the window, talking about something. The atmosphere seemed a bit serious. The girl says to herself.
Girl (to herself) "Chandra, is there some problem that father and Purohit Ji are so serious? Has some crisis arisen? How to find out? Yes, I will stand near that window so that I can hear their conversation."
Saying this, she goes and hides near the window and starts hearing their conversation. Recalling those conversations, she tells Vaishali.
Chandra "Father asked Purohit Ji, what should be done to practice these disciplines and to understand the unseen and mysterious powers of the world? (Then Purohit Ji said) To learn these disciplines and gather information about the powers, the very first task is to deeply study the oldest languages of the world. In these languages, first learn Sanskrit, then also learn other languages, which were born from the womb of Sanskrit itself. (Then father asked) Which other languages should I learn?"
Chandra further said that on her father's question, Purohit Ji said.
Purohit "Learn old languages like Tibetan, Greek, and Latin."
Then father asked the second question.
Devraj Ji "All knowledge is in Sanskrit, so what is the need for these foreign languages?"
Purohit Ji "These practices are not new, but very old. People have been practicing them for a long time to achieve their goals. Most of the knowledge is in Sanskrit, but with time, some things have been written in these languages, and those Sanskrit copies have been destroyed over time. And in these languages, you will find more new methods of practice, which will give you more knowledge about these powers."
Present Time
All of them were listening to Chandra's words with great seriousness.
Chandra "That is why I had already started studying all the languages so that we don't face much difficulty in learning things."
Vaishali "Oh, so that's the matter."
On the Other Side
A shadow, completely wrapped in black clothes, was stealthily going out through the back door of the palace. It left the palace, crossed the intersection, and disappeared somewhere in the vast expanse of dense forests outside the boundaries of Pratapgarh.
Night Time
Everyone had gathered for dinner. Chandra, in a very fearless manner, asks Devraj Ji.
Chandra "Father, Vaishali was telling me that you had gone to Madhavgarh to finalize my marriage. (In a stern tone) May I ask why? Why wasn't my marriage discussed with me?"
Everyone was stunned by Chandra's demeanor. Everyone's fear was palpable, because no one could talk to Devraj Ji in this manner. While everyone was scared, Devendra Ji was smiling. He already knew Chandra's fearless nature and had also anticipated that something like this would happen when Chandra found out about this matter. If anyone was most scared here, it was Madan Ji. He was worried for his daughter. Vaishali and Tara's throats felt choked. Devraj Ji started smiling.
Devraj Ji (smiling) "So Vaishali couldn't hold back, (pausing slightly) my dear, everyone has to get married."
Chandra "But we are not ready yet, we don't want to get married now, Father."
Gayatri Ji was about to say something, but Devraj Ji gestured to her with his eyes to remain silent, so she kept quiet.
Devraj Ji "Alright, your marriages will happen only when all three of you wish. Are you happy now? So, smile a little."
The three of them smiled at Devraj Ji's words. Vaishali and Tara were Chandra's friends. Vaishali was the daughter of Madan Ji, who worked there, and Tara was the daughter of Devendra Ji. But both of them lived with Chandra in the Singh Bhavan because it was Devraj Ji's order. Devraj Ji loved them like his own daughters and took care of their needs. These three were Gayatri Ji's most precious things, and she loved them dearly.
On the other hand, in the forest, the same shadow was preparing for some ritual in a thicket of trees. She had removed the black cloth from herself, but her face was still covered. She was a girl. Just then, two burly men arrived and stood before the girl with their heads bowed.
Girl "Tonight I will perform a Havan here. I will offer a sacrifice to Mother Kali, so you all prepare the puja and keep the sacrifice ready before I arrive. If there is even a single mistake, I will sacrifice you. Understood? Now I am leaving, otherwise, someone in the palace will become suspicious."
Then she covered herself with her black cloth and returned to the palace.
So, what will happen next in this story? Who is this girl and what kind of puja did she perform? To know, stay tuned to Mohini (The Thirsty Demoness).

Jai Shri Krishna,
Om Krishnaya Vasudevaya Haraye Paramatmane,
Pranatah Klesha Nashaya Govindaya Namo Namah!
Chandra’s Room,
Chandra, Vaishali, and Tara were all sitting on the floor. In front of them lay three or four books, and all three were engrossed in reading them. The atmosphere was perfectly silent. The room’s clock struck ten, and the ticking of the hands was clearly audible. All three were lost in their books, journeying through another world—a world of powers and practices, of devotion and hard work, a world where spirituality transcended worldly animosity. Just as they were lost in thought, a knock echoed from the door.
"Knock, knock, knock, knock..." The sound startled all three.
Chandra (gathering the books), “Tara, go open the door. See who it is.”
Vaishali, “First, hide the books. If anyone sees these kinds of books, we’ll be in big trouble!”
Tara, “Perhaps it’s Rani Sa.”
Just then, the door was knocked again. Knock, knock, knock, knock… Together, they all shoved the books into a chest. Tara rushed to open the door. At the door stood Gayatri Ji, holding a tray in her hand, which contained four bowls filled with rasgullas.
Tara, “Oh, Rani Sa, did you need something?”
Gayatri Ji (entering), “I didn’t need anything, really. I was just passing by and saw the light on, so I knew my little doll wasn’t asleep. Then I remembered I had ordered sweets from Mahalaxmi Sweets today. I thought we could eat them and have a good chat too.”
Vaishali (happily), “Oh wow, Rani Sa, you are so kind!”
Then, while eating sweets, they all started talking. Meanwhile, Malati tried to talk to Virendra again, but it was no use. Virendra didn't even pay attention to her, which only fueled her anger.
Malati (gritting her teeth), “Chandra, you’ve done something very wrong. I won’t let this go, absolutely not.”
She looked deranged at that moment. In Chandra’s room, everyone was still talking and laughing; the atmosphere was entirely cheerful. Suddenly, Gayatri Ji’s gaze fell on the clock.
Gayatri Ji, “Oh, girls, look, it’s eleven o’clock. You should all go to sleep now. Hmm… I’m going to sleep too.” All of them nodded in agreement.
Gayatri Ji left. Even after she left, the three of them talked and had fun for a little longer.
Tara, “After so long, we’ve finally talked so much! Otherwise, it’s always talk of knowledge.”
Vaishali, “You know, all these things become memories. Then, at some point in life, we remember them, and they bring a smile. They become a reason to smile even in sadness.”
Chandra, “Yes, you’re absolutely right. You know, I feel like this might be my last memory.”
At her words, Tara got upset.
Tara (angrily), “What kind of things are you saying? Do you understand what these words could imply? By saying that, you’re hurting us, Chandra.”
Vaishali, “Yes, Tara is absolutely right. You shouldn’t have said that.”
Chandra, “Okay, fine, I won’t say it anymore. Forgive me, I made a mistake. What are you two still thinking? Let’s go to sleep; it’s very late.”
At Chandra’s words, both of them smiled and left. Chandra also closed her room door and stood by the window, saying to herself.
Chandra (to herself), “I only said what I felt. I’m feeling very restless today. It feels like tonight will be the last night of my life, as if something bad is about to happen.”
She tried to sleep, but sleep wouldn't come, so she opened the chest again, took out a book, and started reading.
Chandra (reading the book), “Sadhan means action taken to achieve a goal. Sadhan is a spiritual act. From this perspective, performing puja, yoga, meditation, chanting, fasting, and penance are called sadhan! The word sadhan is originally derived from the Sanskrit word ‘sadhu,’ which means to go directly to the goal.”
As she was reading, she felt like someone was pacing outside. She opened the door and looked out, but saw no one, so she went back inside the room and started reading again.
Chandra, “Sadhan is mainly of four types! First, Tantra Sadhan, second, Mantra Sadhan, third, Yantra Sadhan, and fourth, Yoga Sadhan. Tantra Sadhan means with the body…”
As she was still reading, this time she heard the sound of something falling from outside. Hearing the sound, Chandra came out of the room and saw that a flowerpot had fallen and broken. Tara emerged from the room right next to it. Seeing Chandra, she gestured to ask what happened. But Chandra was looking elsewhere, so Tara moved closer and asked.
Tara, “Chandra, what was that sound?”
Chandra, “Shh, shh… quiet. Look, someone is going downstairs.”
Both of them were looking at the stairs. Someone, wrapped in black clothes from head to toe, was descending. Chandra also started following them, and Tara returned to the room. Chandra saw that the person was heading towards the back door. Seeing this, she said to herself.
Chandra (to herself), “Who is this? And how does he know so much about the palace? It must be someone from here.”
Just then, Tara reached Chandra, panting. In her hands were two daggers.
Tara, “It’s not safe to go without weapons. We don’t know who it is or what their intentions are!”
Chandra nodded in agreement and took the daggers from her hands, tying them to her waist. Tara also tied her dagger to her waist. Just then, they saw the shadow slip out of the palace through the back path. Chandra and Tara also came out of the palace behind them. The shadow started heading directly towards the crossroads. Now its pace was very fast; it seemed as if it wasn’t walking but running. Both of them followed, trailing far behind the palace, further than they realized.
Tara, “Chandra, this looks like a spy. They must be obtaining some secret information and are going to tell someone.”
Chandra (angrily), “If what you say is true, then watch, we will kill them with our own hands!”
Just then, she saw the shadow remove the black sheet from itself, revealing long hair that now cascaded down to her waist. It was a girl, and seeing her, Chandra and Tara were stunned. They tried to look at her closely, but due to the darkness, nothing was clear, and the girl had still kept her face covered.
Tara, “Chandra, it’s a girl! Could she be a spy?”
Chandra, “Why not? Don’t forget, a girl can be anything. She can be beyond imagination. But I don’t think she’s here to give our secret information to anyone.”
Tara, “Why don’t you think so? Everything is out in the open!”
Chandra, “Yes, everything is out in the open, and so is what she’s holding!”
Saying this, she pointed towards her left hand, at which Tara’s eyes widened with surprise and fear.
What will happen next in this story? What is in the girl’s hand? What will be the consequence of Chandra and Tara following her? To find out, stay tuned to Mohini (The Thirsty Witch).

Pranatah Klesha Nashaya Govindaya Namo Namah!
On a deserted road,
Tara is surprised to see the book in Chandras hand. Then her eyes fall on a dagger hanging from the girl's waist.
Tara: "Chandra, I don't like this. She must be going to perform some tantra or mantra, otherwise why would anyone keep such a book!"
Chandra: "Whatever it is, we have to see it, right!"
As they talked, they were also following her, and they didn't even realize when they reached the forest. She had entered the dense forest. There were big trees all around. The forest, wrapped in the sheet of night's darkness, looked quite scary. Now the sounds of wild animals also started coming, but the girl was going further inside without fear. Looking at the forest, Tara was stunned. Chandra was also feeling scared, but she wasn't letting the fear show on her face because she knew that if she got scared, Tara would get even more scared, so she was calm.
Tara (scared): "Chandra, we have reached the border of Pratapgarh. We have come quite far from the palace. This forest is within our border, but after the forest, our territory will end!"
Chandra: "This is what I want to see, who is this who has come from the palace to here? Will she cross our territory or do something in this forest!"
Tara: "That's all fine, but we shouldn't go alone like this. If she is a spy, it's a matter of the state. We should inform Raja Sa. Let's bring everyone, let's go back."
Tara says fearfully, hearing which Chandra's mind goes haywire. She was very angry, but she calmly says to Tara.
Chandra (explaining): "Tara, I know you are scared, but understand the situation. If we go back to call father, and by then this opportunity is lost, we cannot let her go like this because this is a matter of our state, our Pratapgarh. We cannot take risks."
Tara: "Yes, that's also true, it's a matter of our state. But Chandra, my heart is very restless. It feels like something bad is going to happen!"
Chandra: "But we cannot leave her like this."
Chandra and Tara were still behind her. She was going deeper into the forest. Now it was becoming difficult to see anything ahead. Then they see that the girl moves forward, parting the bushes of a tree. Tara and Chandra draw their daggers and start cutting through the bushes. Chandra's eyes were still searching for the girl who had now disappeared from their sight. While cutting the bushes, Tara's hand gets entangled in a creeper, and her dagger falls down. Tara starts searching for her dagger right there.
Tara (searching for the dagger): "Oh, where did it go? You can't leave me in the middle of the journey like this. Oh, I need you, where did you go? Please be found."
Tara was muttering to herself, searching for the dagger, but due to the darkness, she couldn't find it. Meanwhile, Chandra had lost the girl, which was making her angry, and on top of that, Tara wasn't moving from there.
Chandra (angrily): "Tara, hurry up! What are you doing? We have lost her. We need to find her quickly!"
Tara (in a choked voice): "Oh, my Rakta Pipashini is not found!"
Chandra: "Who is not found?"
Tara (irritatedly): "My dagger is not found! I have named my dagger Rakta Pipashini!"
Hearing Tara, Chandra's mind completely loses it. Making a face, she says to herself, "Rakta Pipashini." Then she says to Tara.
Chandra: "Do one thing, you sit here and search for your Rakta Pipashini until then. I'll search for that girl."
Saying this, Chandra leaves Tara there and moves ahead. Tara again mutters to herself.
Tara: "Oh, be found. Chandra has gone alone. If Raja Sa finds out, I'll get scolded a lot."
She was searching for the dagger by feeling the ground with her hands.
Tara: "When I search for you, Rakta Pipashini, you don't appear, and when I don't search, you hang right in front of me."
Despite Tara's relentless searching, when she couldn't find the dagger, she gives up and follows Chandra. She sees that Chandra is hiding behind a tree and looking forward with surprise. Tara also reaches her, and sees that amidst the bushes of a tree ahead, the same girl is sitting and performing some Havan. The atmosphere there was frightening just by looking at it. She sees that the girl was sitting there, and right in front of her was an altar with a fire burning in it. Around the altar were many human skulls, and she was chanting some mantras. Just then, she sees that the girl slightly cuts her palm, and blood starts dripping. She pours that blood into the Yagya Kund and starts chanting some mantra again. Then, a shining dagger emerges from the sacrificial fire, which surprises Chandra and Tara.
Chandra: "Who is this? Who lives in our own palace and performs such Tantric rituals, and no one knew anything until today!"
Tara: "Chandra, what will she do with this dagger?"
Before Chandra could say anything, the girl claps twice. Then, two strong men bring a large goat, holding it, and stand before the girl with bowed heads. Meanwhile, Chandra and Tara were in a terrible state of fear, drenched in sweat. Then the girl gets up and starts walking towards the goat with the dagger.
Tara: "Chandra, will she kill it?"
Before her question was even finished, both of them see that the girl plunges the dagger into the goat's back. The goat writhes in pain, and she pulls out its heart. Seeing this painful scene, Tara was about to scream when Chandra covered her mouth. Then the girl takes the goat's heart, puts it in the sacrificial fire, and says.
Girl (with folded hands): "O Satan, accept my sacrifice and grant me more powers!"
Saying this, she turns and starts smearing the blood all over her body. Seeing this terrifying scene, Tara screams loudly. Due to her scream, the girl's gaze falls on the two of them. Then she gets up and starts coming towards them, holding a dagger in her hand. The girl's men also start moving towards them. Seeing her men behind them, she stops there. Chandra and Tara signal each other to run. As soon as they are about to run, those two men catch them. Chandra and Tara fight with them for a long time. Then Chandra draws her dagger and slits the man's throat. As soon as she turns, she sees that Tara is still entangled with that man, so she goes behind him and slits his throat too. Seeing her men dead, the girl angrily starts coming after them. Chandra and Tara start running, but because they lost their way, they go deeper into the forest.
So, what happens next in this story? Who is this girl, what is the purpose of this Yagya? And will Chandra and Tara be able to get out of this trouble? To know, stay tuned to Mohini (Pyaas Dayann Ki).

In the forest,
Night's darkness enveloped Chandra and Tara as they ran, but due to the darkness and losing their way, they found themselves deeper in the forest. The eyes of a figure watching them from the shadows sparkled with amusement, and it began to follow them. Meanwhile, Chandra and Tara were getting lost in the woods; they ran forward, and the girl followed closely behind. After running for a while, they couldn't find a way out, and both were panting heavily. Tara collapsed, exhausted.
Tara: "Chandra, I won't be able to run anymore. I'm too tired, and my legs won't move!"
Chandra: "This isn't the time to sit; we need to get out of the forest. We can face that girl once we're outside because we don't know anything about this forest, and she seems to know every inch of it. If we fight her here, the battle will be in her favor!"
As Chandra tried to lift Tara, they saw the girl approaching them. Her long hair flowed like a snake in the wind, her eyes blazing with hatred, and a dagger in her left hand, stained with the blood of a goat she had killed. She looked like death personified.
Tara and Chandra were terrified. Tara grabbed Chandra's hand and signaled for her to run backward. The girl was now very close, and as she reached out to grab Chandra's hand, Tara pushed her away, causing her to fall.
Tara: "Chandra, run!"
Tara grabbed Chandra's hand and started running back the way they came. The girl fell, injured her hand, and her anger intensified. She glared at her wounded hand, and it began to heal right before their eyes.
The girl shouted in anger, "I won't let you go! I won't spare you!" Her scream echoed through the forest, causing birds to fly out of their nests, and an unsettling silence fell over the woods.
Chandra and Tara heard the girl's footsteps behind them and started running again. They eventually reached the edge of the forest and spotted the path leading to the palace.
Tara: "Chandra, look! That's the way out. If we go this way, we'll be out of the forest."
As they approached the palace path, the girl appeared before them, her eyes blazing with anger.
Girl: "Why so much hurry? Come and meet me!"
The girl's laughter sent shivers down Tara's spine. Just as she was about to attack Chandra with her dagger, Tara grabbed her hand and diverted the blow.
Chandra attacked the girl with her sword, but she countered and broke it. The girl then advanced towards Chandra. Tara intervened, positioning herself between the girl and Chandra.
Tara: "Chandra, go! I'll hold her off. Inform Raja and Banki!"
Chandra refused to leave Tara behind. The girl overpowered Tara, who fell and hit her head on a stone, becoming unconscious.
Chandra sat beside Tara, cradling her in her arms and calling out to her. Just then, she felt a sharp pain in her stomach and saw the girl standing before her, a dagger lodged in her abdomen.
Girl: "Why so soon? Don't you want to see your killer's face?"
As the girl revealed her face, Chandra was shocked.
Chandra: "Why? What did I do? What do you want from me?"
Girl: "I want many things, precious things from Pratapgarh, and the most precious thing is in Singh Bhawan!"
The girl's laughter filled the air. Chandra, enraged, threatened her.
Chandra: "Though you've defeated me today, remember, I'll come back, I'll return as your death!"
Chandra's life slipped away, and she left the world. The girl smiled, covered her face, and picked up Chandra's body. She left Tara behind and returned to the palace, placing Chandra's body on her bed. She collected Chandra's blood in a glass and took it with her.
What will happen next in this story? Who was the girl? What does she want from the Singh family? Stay tuned to find out.

Singh Bhavan,
Gayatri Ji was tossing and turning in her sleep, as if she was having a bad dream. Suddenly, she woke up and sat up with a jolt. She was drenched in sweat, breathing heavily. The hair falling on her face was sticking to it due to the sweat, and she kept wiping her sweaty face with her hand. She looked very scared. She looked beside her and saw Devraj Ji sleeping soundly. She didn't think it was right to wake him up and remained sitting there, but her fear did not subside. Next to the bed was a small table with a table lamp, a jug of water, and an empty glass. Gayatri Ji got out of bed, filled the glass with water from the jug, and drank it while remembering her dream.
In the dream,
Gayatri Ji (surprised) "Where have I come? This is a very desolate and deserted area. I have never seen such a place before."
Just then, Gayatri Ji heard the sound of footsteps of three or four people. They were slowly approaching her, and she got scared and hid behind a tree. She looked around carefully and realized she was on a deserted road with a forest right in front of her. Gayatri Ji hadn't noticed the forest until then. Seeing such a large forest in front of her, she was stunned. Then she heard the footsteps of people again. She looked around and saw a woman with her two small children running out of the forest towards the road. Her condition was very bad. Both children were wearing Rajasthani lehenga choli, and the woman was also dressed in Rajasthani attire. She was running, holding the hands of her two daughters. Right behind them, another woman with a blood-stained dagger in her hand was chasing them. The woman had covered her face. Due to the darkness, no one's face was clearly visible. The woman was repeatedly telling her children.
Woman (panting) "Run, run fast, my child!"
They ran onto the road when one of the children fell. The woman picked her up. As they were about to flee, the woman with the dagger suddenly appeared in front of them. All three were terrified. As the woman reached out to grab the hand of one of the children, who was wearing a green dress, the other child, who was wearing a red dress, grabbed the woman's clothes with her small hands. Just then, the woman grabbed that child's hand and shook her, causing her to fall and hit her head on a stone, dying on the spot. Then the woman moved towards the other child. At that moment, the child's mother pulled her towards her and said.
Woman (crying) "Let her go, why are you doing this? What have my children done to you?"
The woman was crying and begging, but the other woman was unaffected. Then the woman grabbed that child and pulled her towards her. As the child's mother got up to fight her, she pushed her hard. Due to the push, she fell and her head hit the same stone, and she died on the spot. Then the woman plunged her dagger into the little girl's stomach. The whole atmosphere echoed with the child's scream, and a fountain of blood spurted out. The ground there was stained with the blood of the three mother and daughters. After everyone breathed their last, the woman left them there and went away. After the woman left, Gayatri Ji came out from behind the tree and went towards them. As she got closer, she was stunned. In front of her was her own dead body. She looked to the other side and saw a child wearing a green dress. Seeing that dress reminded her of Chandra. Before she could see her face, she woke up. The glass of water slipped from her hand. She ran towards Chandra's room. Reaching outside Chandra's room, she opened the door slightly and saw that Chandra was sleeping.
Gayatri Ji (to herself) "No, if I go into the room now, Chandra will wake up. Once she wakes up, she cannot sleep."
Thinking this, she walked back to her room. Meanwhile, Devraj Ji woke up due to the sound of the falling glass. When he saw Gayatri Ji going out of the room, he followed her. He saw Gayatri Ji returning. Seeing her lost in thought, Devraj Ji went to her and said!
Devraj Ji (holding Gayatri Ji's hand) "What happened, Rani Sa? Why did you come out in such a hurry?"
Seeing Devraj Ji in front of her, Gayatri Ji hugged his chest. Seeing Gayatri Ji so scared, Devraj Ji took her to the room, gave her water, made her lie down again, and holding her in his arms, asked affectionately.
Devraj Ji (lovingly) "Did you have a bad dream?"
Gayatri Ji (nodding her head) "I had a very bad dream."
Devraj Ji (stroking her head) "A dream is just a dream. Nothing will happen. You sleep, I am here with you."
Gayatri Ji nodded her head and slowly drifted off to sleep. After putting her to sleep, Devraj Ji also slept, unaware of what this night had taken from them. Slowly, morning began to break. Meanwhile, on that road, the unconscious Tara slowly began to regain consciousness.
So, what will happen next in this story? Will Gayatri Ji understand the hint of her dream? Stay tuned to Mohini (The Thirsty Witch).

Pratap Garh,
Slowly, time passes, and the little ray of dawn prepares to pierce the darkness of night, and then the sun slowly, stealthily, begins to spread its redness across the earth. Meanwhile, on that road, the unconscious Tara slowly begins to regain consciousness. Her still body slowly starts to stir, and in a few moments, she opens her eyes. She gently sits up, and her head begins to ache intensely. At first, she doesn't understand anything, but then she remembers the night's events. As the night's happenings come to her mind, she starts searching for Chandra around her. She doesn't see Chandra, but she sees blood all around her. Blood is also on her clothes, and the ground there is stained with blood. Seeing so much blood, she suspects something untoward has happened. She feels quite scared for Chandra, but she gets very flustered.
Tara (flustered) "Chandra, Chandra... Where is Chandra? Chandra..."
In Singh Bhawan,
Now, the sun's reign was fully established in the sky. The whole world had gotten busy with its work. Gayatri ji, after bathing, was completely ready. In her hand, at this moment, was the puja thali, and she was going towards the temple. Gayatri ji reaches the temple and begins the puja of Mother Bhavani. Just then, Devraj ji enters the temple. Then Amarendra and Virendra, and Vaishali and Malti also join the puja. Everyone performs the aarti together. After finishing the puja, Gayatri ji gives everyone prasad. Just then, her attention goes to Chandra and Tara, who are not there. She is very surprised because this has never happened before. Gayatri ji then tells a maid.
Gayatri Ji "Geeta, go, go and see if Chandra and Tara haven't woken up yet. Has it happened for the first time that both have missed the puja?"
Geeta (bowing her head) "Yes, Rani Sa."
Geeta starts walking towards Chandra's room. Meanwhile, Tara wakes up. She is crying terribly. She is scared.
Tara (crying) "Chandra, Chandra... Where are you, Chandra? Chandra, I'm scared, Chandra, come, I'm very scared! (to herself) Oh God, protect my Chandra, Chandra, Chandra..."
Meanwhile, Geeta first goes to Tara's room but finds no one there. Then she goes to Chandra's room and sees Chandra sleeping on her bed. Geeta is very surprised because Chandra was very strict about her rules. Her rule was to wake up before sunrise, and today she is still sleeping.
Geeta (to herself) "It has never happened that Chandra didi is still sleeping. Surely her health has deteriorated!"
Then, standing a little distance from her bed, she starts to wake Chandra up.
Geeta (calling out) "Didi, Didi... Wake up, Didi, it's dawn. The sun is high in the sky, Didi, wake up!"
While calling out, she goes near her and starts to wake her up. Shaking her two or three times, she says, "Didi, wake up. Usually, you tell us to wake up early, and today you yourself are sleeping so much. Didi..." As soon as she removes the sheet covering her, she says, "Didi..." her voice gets stuck in her throat. Her eyes widen in surprise. She sees that the entire bed is stained with blood. Chandra's entire body is also drenched in blood. The blood has dried slightly. She brings her hand near his nose and checks, but his breathing has stopped. Geeta suddenly screams. "Aa... Aa..." She screams and runs downstairs. Geeta is very scared. Her entire body is drenched in sweat. She comes down screaming. Because of her screaming like this, everyone gathers. Devraj ji and Gayatri ji also come down to the hall.
Gayatri Ji (worried) "What happened? What happened, Geeta, why are you screaming like this? Didn't I send you to wake Chandra? So what happened?"
As soon as she hears Chandra's name, Geeta starts crying loudly. Seeing her cry like this, everyone gets scared. When Virendra can't bear it, he asks Geeta.
Virendra (with a slight anger) "Geeta, stop crying like this and tell me what happened?"
Geeta (crying profusely) "Kunwar Sa, she... she... Chandra Didi, she is bleeding, Kunwar Sa, Chandra Didi..."
After saying this, she faints. Everyone gets scared by her fainting. Just then, something strikes Devraj ji's mind, and he signals another maid standing nearby to take care of Geeta. And he starts walking towards Chandra's room with quick steps. Seeing Devraj ji going towards Chandra's room, everyone starts following him. Meanwhile, Tara is distressed searching for Chandra.
Tara (to herself) "Wandering alone like this will achieve nothing. I must go back to the palace and inform the King. Then everyone will search for Chandra together. I wonder what that girl did to Chandra?" (Then slaps herself) "It could also be that Chandra escaped from that girl and reached the palace, or maybe she killed that girl. Yes, that must be it. That blood must be that girl's!" Chandra was consoling herself.
Meanwhile, everyone arrives at Chandra's room together. First, Devraj ji's eyes fall on Chandra. He is completely stunned. Just then, everyone comes from behind, and as soon as they see Chandra, stained with blood, everyone rushes to her. Vaishali and Gayatri ji start crying. Just then, Virendra shouts to everyone.
Virendra "Calm down, everyone. Let Amar check Didi's pulse first. Maybe Didi is alright."
Hearing Virendra's words, everyone gets a little hope. Amarendra checks Chandra's pulse but cannot say anything. Seeing him speechless, everyone's breath catches. Just then, Virendra speaks angrily.
Virendra (shouting in anger) "Amar, why are you silent? Say something, Amar, why are you silent?"
Hearing Virendra's words, Amarendra suddenly hugs Chandra and starts crying loudly. Seeing him cry like this, everyone starts crying. Vaishali and Gayatri ji faint and fall. Meanwhile, Tara runs to the main gate of the palace. She is breathing heavily.
To know what happened next, stay tuned with Mohini (Pyaas Dayan Ki) with me, Shalini Chaudhary!

Pratapgarh,
Singh Bhavan,
She had reached the main entrance of Tara Singh Bhavan, panting heavily. Her condition was quite bad; her entire body was drenched in sweat, her hair was terribly disheveled, she had injuries all over, and her leg was badly hurt, swollen. Her leg had sustained many injuries from which blood was oozing. She entered the palace courtyard. To go inside the palace, one had to cross the garden. The garden was quite a pleasant sight, but oblivious to all this, she limped her way inside the palace. As soon as she reached the large palace door, she felt great distress, a fear of losing someone. She felt like running away somewhere, but still, gathering courage, she opened the door. The moment she entered, her eyes fell upon Chandra, wrapped in a white sheet on the hall floor. The entire family was gathered around her, and everyone was crying profusely. Seeing Chandra in this state, Tara's remaining strength gave way. Her legs started trembling, and she collapsed onto the floor. Tears flowed uncontrollably from her eyes, but she couldn't even utter a sound of pain. Just then, Devendra ji's gaze fell upon Tara. Seeing her condition, he became worried.
Devendra ji (walking towards Tara): "Tara, my child, what happened to you? How did you get so many injuries? Huh!"
Tara (crying): "Father, what happened to Chandra? Father, what happened to Chandra?"
She was crying profusely. Devendra ji helped her up and made her sit near Chandra's body. Seeing Chandra wrapped in a shroud before her, she clung to her and began to cry loudly.
Tara (crying): "Chandra... Chandra, Chandra, wake up, look at me, Chandra... Chandra." She started shaking her vigorously, but after all her efforts, when Chandra did not wake up, she became utterly disheartened and burst into tears. Seeing her cry like this, everyone else also started crying. Devraj ji came forward and comforted her.
Devraj ji (hugging Tara): "No, my child, calm down, don't cry like this, calm down!" Devraj ji's eyes were filled with tears, and he himself was crying, but being the eldest in the house, he couldn't cry openly.
Tara (crying): "What happened, King Sahib? Where has Chandra gone, leaving us? King Sahib, tell Chandra to wake up. I am very scared. She will definitely listen to you, King Sahib, please tell her."
Hearing Tara's words, Devraj ji broke down crying. He was weeping uncontrollably.
Devraj ji (crying): "My child, she will not listen to me now. She has left all of us, gone very far away!"
Hearing Devraj ji's words, Tara started crying. Constant crying and the injury to her head made her head ache, and she fainted. Seeing Tara faint, everyone became anxious, as Gayatri ji and Vaishali's condition was already quite bad, and now Tara's fainting instilled fear in everyone. Amarendra came forward and started carrying Tara towards the room in his lap. When he reached her and went to lift her, his eyes fell on Tara's injury. However, seeing the somber mood, without telling anyone anything, he picked her up and took her to the room for treatment, where Gayatri ji and Vaishali were already being treated. Meanwhile, Devendra ji said to Devraj ji.
Devendra ji (with a choked voice): "King Sahib, we should now bid farewell to our daughter Chandra. Keeping her body for too long will worsen everyone's condition!"
Only Devendra ji knew how much courage it took him to say this, as Chandra was very dear to him. Seeing Chandra wrapped in a shroud like this, all the memories of Chandra from her childhood to the present flashed like a movie before his eyes. Hearing Devendra ji's words, Devraj ji embraced him and said, crying.
Devraj ji (crying): "No father should have to give such a farewell. Devendra, I never imagined such a farewell for my Chandra. What happened?"
Seeing Devraj ji cry like this, Devendra ji also started crying. Meanwhile, Virendra, sitting by Chandra's body, was oblivious to anything else. He was staring intently at Chandra's face, tears flowing like rivers from his eyes. Amarendra also arrived after taking Tara to the room and sat beside Virendra, clinging to Chandra's feet. He felt like crying a lot, and he said, crying.
Amarendra (to Virendra): "Brother, look, how pale Chandra didi's face has become, when the smile never used to leave her lips."
To Amarendra's words, Virendra replied in the same lost state.
Virendra (lost): "Yes, Chandra didi, who used to keep everyone happy, is today making everyone cry herself."
The atmosphere was grief-stricken. Devraj ji was also listening to their words. His gaze was also fixed on his beloved daughter; he too was very sad. With a heavy heart, he said to Devendra ji.
Devraj ji (in a heavy voice): "Devendra, prepare for the funeral procession. The people of the kingdom should also have a final glimpse of their princess."
Devendra ji (nodding): "Yes, King Sahib."
Saying this, he left to prepare for the funeral procession.
So, what will happen next in this story? Will Chandra's journey end here, or will a new tale begin? To find out, stay tuned to Mohini (The Witch's Thirst).

Om Krishnaya Vasudevaya Haraye Paramatmane,
Pranatah Klesh Nashaya Govindaya Namo Namah!
Pratap Garh,
The news of Chandra's death spread like wildfire. Everyone who heard it stood stunned, unable to comprehend anything for a while. In the Pratap Garh square, in front of Maha Lakshmi Sweets, about ten to twelve people were gathered. Some were cleaning, some were arranging milk, and some had come to buy sweets. A few were just there to chat. An elderly shopkeeper, named Lal Mohan, was speaking to an elder.
Elder (to shopkeeper) "Son Lal Mohan, give me one kilogram of rasgulla!"
Lal Mohan (to elder) "Yes, Kaka, I'll give it to you now!"
Lal Mohan called out to his son from there.
Lal Mohan (calling his son) "Hey Madan... Madan..."
Madan replied from inside.
Madan "Yes Baba, were you saying something?"
Lal Mohan (putting milk on the stove) "Yes, give Lakshman Kaka one kilogram of rasgulla, from the fresh batch..."
Madan came out with one kilogram of rasgulla and put it in a bag, handing it over to Lakshman Kaka. Just then, a boy about twenty years old came from behind and said.
Boy (panting) "Hey, have you all heard anything? What happened?"
He looked like he had run a long distance. Everyone was surprised to see him like that. Then Madan said.
Madan (to the boy) "Why, what happened that made you like this? And others have a lot of work, not everyone is free like you."
Hearing Madan's words, the boy became enraged. Then Lal Mohan admonished his son.
Lal Mohan (with mild anger) "Madan, what kind of way is this to talk?" (Then he said to the boy) "What is it, Lakhan? What happened that we don't know?"
Lakhan "Hey, I had gone towards the palace to see my land. When I went there, I found out that Princess Chandra had died!"
Everyone was greatly surprised to hear Lakhan's words. Then the old man, whose name was Lakshman, spoke.
Lakhan "Do you even know what you're saying? You could be punished for this."
Lakhan "Kaka, I am telling the truth. Why would I spread such a rumor about the princess?"
Madan "Then you must have heard something wrong. Who told you this?"
Lakhan "No, I haven't heard anything wrong. Devendra Ji himself was cutting wood, and he told me to inform everyone. The princess's funeral procession will leave in an hour. Those who wish to bid her a final farewell should join the procession!"
Hearing Lakhan's words, the atmosphere there completely changed. Everyone stood there, looking at each other as if the whole world had turned upside down for them. Then Manohar, who was sitting there, spoke.
Manohar (with a choked voice) "What has fate done? Oh, what wrong did our princess do? It would have been better if it had taken me instead!"
Lal Mohan immediately closed his shop and went towards his home to inform his wife so she could go with everyone to the funeral procession. Everyone's eyes were teary; they were all saddened by their princess. And why wouldn't they be? Chandra had solved many of their problems herself. She was a capable princess, intelligent, skilled in warfare, and her heart was filled with compassion. Every Sunday, she would go on a tour of Pratap Garh, listen to people's problems, and take them to the royal court. Because of this, immediate action was taken on those problems, which greatly benefited the public. The news was spreading like wildfire, and everyone who heard it was leaving everything behind to go to the funeral procession. Today, the entire Pratap Garh was plunged into darkness of sorrow. The entire Pratap Garh was shut down, and no hearth was lit in any house.
In Singh Bhawan,
Gayatri Ji had regained consciousness and was crying profusely. Devraj Ji was trying to calm her down, but he too could not bear the pain of being separated from his daughter. Vaishali sat completely silent, while Tara was slowly regaining consciousness.
Tara (waking up with a scream) "Chandra... Chandra... Don't leave us. How will we live without you, Chandra..."
Everyone was trying to console her. Tara fainted again. Everyone's eyes were swollen from crying. Devraj Ji sat on the ground, tears flowing from his eyes, gazing intently at his beloved daughter's face. Then Devendra Ji came and sat beside him. His eyes were also teary. He wanted to say something, but his tongue failed him. Gathering all his courage, he finally spoke.
Devendra Ji (with a choked voice) "Your Majesty, the preparations for the funeral procession are complete. It is time to bid our daughter a final farewell!"
Hearing Devendra Ji's words, Devraj Ji burst into tears. Seeing him cry like this, the sounds of weeping echoed in Singh Bhawan once again. Outside Singh Bhawan, the entire Pratap Garh, clad in white, stood waiting impatiently to catch a last glimpse of their princess. Be it old or young, everyone was waiting for their princess! Among them, one woman said to another.
First Woman "What a day God has brought upon Pratap Garh! He has snatched away the very life of Pratap Garh."
Second Woman "God's handwriting is very harsh; it understands nothing."
Then a third woman interjected.
Third Woman "Good people, God calls them to Himself like this!"
Under the Pandit Ji's instructions, Chandra was bathed and adorned with all her favorite things. She looked very beautiful. Seeing his daughter like this, Devraj Ji looked towards the sky and cried out.
Devraj Ji (crying) "Oh Creator, what have you done? I never wished for such a farewell for my beloved."
Then everyone carried Chandra out and placed her outside the palace, where the people of Pratap Garh came to see their beloved princess and offer her flowers. Everyone was crying. An elderly woman offered flowers to Chandra and said.
Elderly Woman (crying) "What has the Lord done? Take me instead of her. Give my life to her. What have you done?"
After being seen by a few people, Chandra's body was placed on an open chariot and taken around the entire state so that everyone could see Chandra one last time. Then everyone reached the cremation ground. At the insistence of Gayatri Ji, Vaishali, and Tara, they were also allowed to come to the cremation ground. Chandra's body was laid on the bier, and wood was piled on it. Virendra stood performing all the rituals. Then Pandit Ji brought him a burning torch and, giving it to Virendra, said.
Pandit Ji "Son, light the pyre for your sister and free her from this existence."
Virendra's memories of Chandra flashed like a movie before his eyes. He slowly walked towards Chandra with the torch and lit the pyre. Chandra's body began to burn intensely, and once again, everyone's eyes welled up with tears. Gayatri Ji and Vaishali began to cry loudly. Tara's mind went back to the events of the previous night, and she fainted once again, collapsing there. Amarendra took care of her. Everyone watched in silence as Chandra turned to ashes, but there was one face that held a smile, with the same dagger hanging at his waist.
So what will happen next in this story? Will all the secrets be buried with Chandra, or will there be a new beginning? To know, stay tuned to Mohini (The Thirsty Witch).

In London,
A large bungalow, which was very beautiful to look at, built of white marble, it looked as if someone had covered it with a white sheet of snow. Its beauty was enough to attract anyone towards it. On the nameplate fixed on the outer wall of the villa, A.S was beautifully written, and it was studded with diamonds, showcasing the royalty of the place. Just then, a Rolls-Royce car arrived and stopped. The watchman opened the main door of the villa, and the car came roaring inside. Then the car door opened, and a young man, about 28-29 years old, with a tall and broad physique, fair complexion, a light beard on his face, hair perfectly styled, wearing black pants, a white shirt, and a black coat, with spectacles on his eyes, came out. This is Vedansh Bhargav, the owner of (V B fashion hub). Along with him, another young man, of the same age as Vedansh, stepped out of the car. He had a gym-honed body, was clean-shaven, and had a dusky complexion. He was also wearing black pants and a white shirt, with the top two buttons of his shirt open, revealing his broad chest. He had slung his coat over his shoulder and held his spectacles in his left hand. This is Dev Malhotra, the owner of Malhotra Group. Both of them stepped out of the car and started walking towards the villa.
Vedansh (a little troubled) "Dev, what do you think, will Aish agree to our request? Never, she will only do what comes to her own mind."
Dev (taking a deep breath) "Look, what she does is her business, but we told Virendra Uncle that we would talk to her, so we have to do it."
Vedansh (irritated) "What's the point of talking when we already know what her answer will be?"
Dev (taking a deep breath) "Vedansh, if we look from Aish's perspective, she is absolutely right. After the mistake Virendra Uncle made and what Aish lost, her behavior is natural!"
Vedansh nodded in agreement with Dev's statement. Meanwhile, in Pratapgarh,
Much had changed. The old Singh Bhavan had been shut down. The entire place had been closed. Everyone had moved to another part of Pratapgarh, leaving their land. Everything had changed. The royal rule had been replaced by a democratic system in this region as well. Although this existed before, everyone considered Devraj Ji as the king. But the situation had changed. The Singh family had now established its foothold in the business world. Meanwhile, in a luxurious room of Singh Bhavan, a man wearing a suit stood in front of a large picture. His eyes were filled with tears. All the windows and doors of the room were closed. And the man, caressing the picture with his hand, said:
Man (caressing the picture) "Parul, are you watching what punishment our daughter is giving for betraying you? (Coming a little closer to the picture) But I'm telling the truth, it was my mistake. I never gave her your place. But see, everything is over. After you left, on mother's advice, I sent our child to London. But she has grown up so much that she doesn't even talk to me. It's been ten years since I saw her, and she still hasn't forgiven me, and perhaps never will." Wiping the tears flowing down his cheeks, he let out a faint laugh and spoke to the picture again, "But no matter what, she will always be my daughter, Virendra and Parul's daughter, Aishwarya Singh!"
In London,
Vedansh and Dev were on their way to the villa. To reach the villa, they had to cross the garden. The villa was surrounded by high walls, making it impossible to see inside from the outside. Inside, the garden was decorated beautifully, with flowers brought from different parts of the world. The exterior of the villa was adorned with Aparajita flowers. The blue Aparajita flowers on the white marble looked like blue pearls scattered on a white sheet, further enhancing the beauty of the villa. Dev and Vedansh reached the villa door and rang the bell. Just then, a maid, fully dressed, opened the door and spoke with great respect, bowing her head.
Maid (bowing her head) "Welcome, Sir. How are you?"
Vedansh (in a calm tone) "Thank you, we are fine. And what about you, Miss?"
Maid (making way) "Everything is fine, Sir. Please come!"
The two of them entered. The beauty inside the villa was also breathtaking. The villa was decorated inside with white and deep blue colors, making it look like a fairy realm. The interior was exquisite. In the front was a very large hall with a sofa set in the center, which was blue in color. Exactly opposite it was a small white tea table. Dev and Vedansh went and sat on the sofa. Just then, another maid brought them water.
Dev (to the maid) "Where is Aishwarya?"
Maid "Sir, Madam is in the gym!"
Saying this, she left. Dev and Vedansh looked at each other, then spoke in unison.
Both together, "Nothing can be done about her!"
Then Vedansh spoke, becoming a little serious.
Vedansh (in a serious tone) "Dev, these Virendra Uncle, they used to live in Singh Bhavan. If that house is so big, then why did they get it shut down and build a new palace? And not only that, the entire area was shut down."
Dev (thinking) "I don't know much, but Virendra Uncle had an elder sister. After her death, things started getting strange there. Still, they lived there for a long time, but then what happened that the entire area was shut down, I don't know. But I know that there is something in that palace."
Meanwhile, in the old Singh Bhavan,
Not only the entire palace but the entire area had become deserted. Where laughter once echoed in the palace, there was now silence, a long silence. In the same palace, where life once resided, everything was now desolate. In the center hall of the palace, a shadow was sitting. She was wearing a green Rajasthani dress, her hair was disheveled, and she was sitting with her head bowed. Her hair covered her face, so her face was not visible. Tears were dripping from the girl's eyes onto the ground, and she was sobbing. The sound of her sobs echoed throughout the palace. Just then, from a locked room upstairs, with a red thread tied to the lock, loud laughter was heard, "Ha ha... ha..." and someone was banging hard on that door. And then a voice came from that room, "Open, open me, open the door, ah...."
So what will happen next in this story? Who are these new characters? And who is that shadow? What is the mystery of that locked room? To know, stay tuned to Mohini (Thirst of the Witch).

Pratap Garh (Old Singh Bhavan),
Hearing the continuous sounds coming from that locked room upstairs, that shadow gets up, goes down the stairs, and stands outside the room. The girl inside that room, when she realizes someone is standing outside, starts banging loudly on the door and says, "Open, open the door, open me ah..." The girl standing outside the room says to the girl inside, with a slight smile.
Girl (to the girl in the room) "Why Mohini, how does it feel being locked up here? You have ruined my entire family, destroyed everything. Tell me, how does it feel!"
Mohini (to the girl standing outside) "Hah... it doesn't make much difference to me because the work for which they tied me up in this room, I am doing that work even while being locked up here. (Emphasizing her words slightly) It's happening through you, isn't it, Vaishali."
Hearing Mohini's words, the girl lifts her head, and then her face becomes clearly visible. It was Vaishali. Hearing Mohini's words, Vaishali's eyes fill with tears, and she says angrily.
Vaishali (angrily) "Remember one thing, Mohini, the lifespan of sin is very short. (Showing her finger) And you cannot keep me captive for long. This which you are forcing me to do, all of this will end."
At Vaishali's words, Mohini's sarcastic voice comes from inside the room.
Mohini (laughing softly) "Heh, I don't care. And you are babbling about sin having a short lifespan and that your God will deliver justice. So remember, the breaths of my sin are fifteen years old. (Angrily) And you, you will never be free from me."
Vaishali (in a sharp tone) "I will be free, I will be free, and you will see how terrible your end will be, Mohini. Someone will end you, and that person will come soon!"
Ignoring Vaishali's words, Mohini speaks with great style.
Mohini "Well, we'll see when that happens. For now, arrange everything for my ritual. Go. (Vaishali starts to leave after hearing her) And yes, today is Amavasya, so today's puja is special. Bring the blood of a virgin girl for it."
Vaishali does not reply to Mohini's words, but her eyes fill with tears. She starts going down the stairs, tears flowing down her cheeks.
In London (A.S Villa),
A maid was going upstairs holding a tray. The tray had a cup of tea and some snacks. Seeing the maid, Dev says to Vedansh.
Dev (to Vedansh) "Yar, Priya has come here because Aish doesn't drink tea. (Then, with slight anger) See, this girl came without informing me. She doesn't have a bit of sense, venturing out anywhere without protection."
Vedansh (calming him) "Calm down, she's a child. She might also want to live a normal life. Stay calm, we'll explain, and she'll understand."
Dev (with concern) "But she's no longer a child. She's a full 23 years old, and such carelessness is not good. Aish is also her age, she's so mature, handles everything herself."
Before Vedansh could say anything, a girl's cold voice reaches their ears.
Girl (in a cold voice) "One should never kill the child within themselves. And as for maturity, maturity beyond one's age sometimes becomes a cause of suffering."
The two turn around and see a girl, dressed in black lowers and a black t-shirt, completely drenched in sweat, descending the stairs. Her face was expressionless. She would be 23 years old. She was quite beautiful, her proportions perfect. Her large, deer-like eyes were guarded by long, dense lashes. Every time she blinked, it seemed as if a butterfly was spreading its wings. Her well-defined eyebrows made her eyes even more beautiful. Her slender nose, adorned with a small stud, her thin, rose-like lips, slightly parted at this moment as she inhaled. Her skin tone was as if someone had mixed a little vermilion in milk. She had tied her hair in a bun, which made her even more beautiful. Hearing her words, Dev falls silent. Then Vedansh speaks.
Vedansh (getting up) "Hey Aish, how are you?"
To his words, Aishwarya replies.
Aishwarya (in a sharp tone) "As I should be."
Dev (thinking) "Why is she talking like this? Could she have found out that we are all in contact with Virendra Uncle? If that happens, she won't even listen to us, let alone obey."
Just as he was lost in his thoughts, Aishwarya's voice breaks his concentration.
Aishwarya (wiping sweat with a towel) "I've taken a shower, we'll talk later."
Meanwhile, on the outskirts of Pratap Garh,
A bus stops, and a twenty-year-old girl gets off. She was very beautiful. She wore a yellow crop top and black jeans with sneakers on her feet. Her long hair cascaded down to her waist. Her fair complexion shone like a diamond. She had a small purse slung over her left shoulder. Just then, her phone rings. (Phone Ring) I am so lonely broken angel....... The girl picks up the phone and puts it to her ear. Before she could say anything, a voice comes from the other side of the phone.
A Woman (from the other side of the phone) "Where have you reached? Why are you so late? Surabhi, where are you, my child!"
Surabhi "Mom, please calm down. I've almost reached. I'm just outside Pratap Garh. The bus driver dropped me here, and I'm taking a taxi from here."
Woman "Okay, good. Come quickly!"
Surabhi cuts the call. As she is about to go to get a taxi, her gaze falls on a boy. Seeing him, she says to herself.
Surabhi (to herself) "That's Rohan. He's a student in the Physics department. What is he doing here? His home is in Mumbai. (Then she sees Rohan going in another direction) Where is he going that way." Saying this, she starts following him. As she follows him, she sees that on a secluded road a short distance away, some boys were distributing drugs among themselves. Rohan was also among them. She sees that those boys had also given drugs to a girl and were forcing her. Seeing all this, she starts to run away from there, but then Rohan's eyes fall on her, and he starts running after her to catch her. Gradually, evening sets in, and the sun begins to withdraw its rays. To save herself, Surabhi enters the same forest located within the boundaries of Pratap Garh, and Rohan follows her. As soon as the two enter the forest, silence descends all around, and Mohini's laughter starts to be heard from that locked room in the Old Singh Bhavan. And she says.
Mohini (laughing) "New prey. Jai Shaitan."
So, what will happen next in this story? Who is Mohini, and how did she get tied up in this room? How did Vaishali become her captive? What is Aishwarya's trouble? And what is going to happen with Surabhi and Rohan? To know, stay tuned to Mohini (The Thirsty Witch).

London (A S Villa),
Aishwarya goes to take a shower, while Dev and Vedansh become even more troubled.
Vedansh (with anxiety) "Dev, why did she say that? Brother, don't you think she's getting stricter by the day?"
Dev (with restlessness) "I think she might have doubted us, that we're in touch with the Singh family. (pauses, more worried) If that's the case, she'll cut off contact with us."
Vedansh (calmly) "Brother, how can she find out? Who will tell her that we talk to them?"
Dev "Let's go meet Priya."
Vedansh nods in agreement. Meanwhile, in Pratapgarh,
Old Singh Fort,
Mohini's room is filled with loud, eerie laughter. Nearby, Vaishali prepares for tonight's puja. In the hall, a yagna vedi is set up with a few human skulls, ghee, and other puja materials. Vaishali sits by the vedi, drawing symbols of Kali's power. After finishing, she stands up, looks around, and mutters to herself.
Vaishali (to herself) "Oh, everything's taken care of here. Now, where can I get a virgin's blood? (pauses) I'm stuck in Pratapgarh and can't leave. This stupid magic won't work, and nobody comes or goes here. How can I get the blood?"
A sudden idea strikes her, and her eyes light up with excitement.
Vaishali (excitedly) "Wait, why am I worrying? If I don't get the blood, the puja won't happen, and her powers won't grow."
Just then, Mohini's voice echoes from her room.
Mohini (sneering) "Oh, bitch, don't be too happy. My puja will happen, and you'll do it, just like always."
Vaishali (gnashing her teeth) "You dog, who are you talking to? You're a sly, cunning fox. The puja won't happen because no virgin will come to this area."
Mohini (gnashing her teeth) "Don't talk too much and go, because two people have entered the forest, including a girl. Bring her blood."
Vaishali (shaking her head) "I won't do it."
Mohini (sneering) "You'll do it, you're my captive. You'll do it willingly or by force."
In the Pratapgarh forest,
A path leads out of the forest, but it's been closed for years. Dry leaves and debris have accumulated, a testament to the area's abandonment. The sun sets, casting a dark shadow over the forest. Two people running down the path break the silence. Surbhi runs with her purse clutched tightly, her hair flowing in the wind, and a look of fear on her face. Rohan chases behind her, repeatedly telling her to stop.
Rohan (angrily) "Girl, stop! I'm telling you for the last time, stop!"
Surbhi, terrified, continues running. As she glances back, she sees Rohan behind her.
Rohan (to himself) "It's Surbhi from the History Department. What is she doing here? Now what do I do? (pauses) Wait, I have an idea. She's just a girl, so delicate. I'll have some fun with her, make a video, and then...she'll never go against me, and whenever I want, she'll be on my bed."
Rohan's expression turns devilish as he starts to laugh. Surbhi, extremely scared, continues running. Her legs get tangled, and she falls, skinning her hands. She gets up, muttering to herself.
Surbhi (to herself) "Get up, Surbhi. You have to escape. Don't give up now. (joins her hands) Oh, Kali Mata, please save me."
As she tries to run again, Rohan grabs her, pulling her back. Surbhi trembles with fear, tears welling up in her eyes.
Surbhi (weeping) "Rohan, please let me go. I won't tell anyone, I swear. I'll never say anything, just let me go."
Rohan doesn't react to her pleas. He holds her waist with one hand and caresses her trembling lips with the other. Surbhi shudders in disgust and bites his hand, loosening his grip. She runs away, but Rohan quickly recovers, pulls out a knife, and chases her. He catches her and pins her against a tree.
Rohan (gnashing his teeth) "Initially, I thought I'd play with you, make a video, and then let you go. But now, I'll play with you first and then kill you!"
A pair of eyes watches from a nearby tree. Just as Rohan tries to tear Surbhi's clothes, a shadow appears, pushing him away. The force is so strong that Rohan falls to the ground. As he looks up, he sees a girl in a white lehenga and choli, incredibly beautiful. Before Rohan can speak, the girl snatches the knife and stabs him in the stomach. A loud scream echoes through the forest, accompanied by flashes of lightning. The forest is filled with light, and Surbhi's shadow becomes visible. However, the girl's shadow is nowhere to be seen. Rohan lies on the ground, covered in blood. After a while, he stops moving, and silence returns, with only Surbhi's heavy breathing audible.
What happens next in the story? Why is Aishwarya so strict? And who killed Rohan? Stay tuned to Mohini (The Witch's Curse).

Jai Shri Krishna,

Pratapgarh (in the forest),
Rohan was dead, his body lay on the road, surrounded by blood. Surabhi was in shock, unable to speak or understand. She was drenched in sweat. Suddenly, she rushed to Rohan's side and checked his pulse, but he was already gone. His pulse wasn't beating. Surabhi panicked.
Surabhi (shaken) "He...he...he's dead, oh God, he's dead."
Surabhi turned around and grabbed the girl's hand, pulling her.
Surabhi (in a shaky voice) "Come on, let's get out of here. If someone sees us, it'll be trouble. We might get into trouble."
Although Surabhi pulled her repeatedly, the girl didn't move. Surabhi turned around and looked at her. The girl was beautiful, wearing a white lehenga and choli. Her black, thick hair fell to her waist. Her skin was like milk, her face flawless. Her lips were thin and pink, her eyes sharp, and her nose slender. Overall, she was extremely beautiful.
The forest, which was calm until then, started to show its fury. The environment changed. The girl was no one else but Vaishali.
On the other side (A S villa),
Dev and Vedansh were talking when the maid, who had gone to get snacks for Priya, returned. Dev asked her,
Dev (to the maid) "Where's Priya?"
The maid replied in one word, "Terrace."
The two of them headed towards the terrace. The terrace was very large, and its view could captivate anyone's eyes. One part had a sofa set, a tea table, and arrangements. Next to it was a swing. The entire terrace had small plants, giving it a green look. The glass railings gave it a modern look. A girl, Priya Malhotra, Dev Malhotra's younger sister and the owner of (PM makeup brand), sat on the sofa like a queen. Her age was around 22-23. Her face looked very innocent. She held a cup of tea in one hand and a file in the other. She read it attentively.
Dev (glaring) "How did you come here without telling me?"
Priya (absent-mindedly) "By car."
Dev glared at her, and a cute smile appeared on Vedansh's face.
Vedansh (lovingly) "Chhoti, it's dangerous to come out without protection. You shouldn't do that."
Priya (innocently) "But I did come with protection. Ash sent his bodyguards."
In the forest,
Surabhi (to Vaishali) "What's wrong? Let's leave this place; it's not safe. If someone sees us, we'll be in trouble."
Surabhi's words made Vaishali laugh.
Vaishali (laughing) "Do you still think I'll get trapped or need to run? This is my home. Where can I go?"
Surabhi panicked, let go of her hand, and moved away.
Surabhi (scared) "Who are you? What do you want from me?"
Vaishali, "You're very sweet and pretty. I was watching you two from the beginning."
Surabhi tried to run, but Vaishali appeared before her. Surabhi was scared and moved backward. Her purse fell from her shoulder, and her belongings scattered. Her phone also fell out.
Surabhi (crying) "Let me go, leave me alone. What did I do to you?"
Vaishali (angrily) "I'll never let you go. You're my prey. I killed this boy so I could kill you."
Vaishali picked up the knife lying on the road and approached Surabhi.
Surabhi (crying) "Please leave me alone. What did I do? Why do you want to kill me? Tell me the reason."
Vaishali, "The reason is that you came to this forest, and your beauty and virginity are the reasons for your death."
Surabhi (stumbling) "This...this...this isn't a reason to kill someone."
But Vaishali didn't respond. Surabhi saw her death in Vaishali's eyes. She understood that no one could save her. Vaishali swiftly cut Surabhi's wrist with the knife. Blood gushed out. Surabhi screamed in pain. Vaishali collected Surabhi's blood in a bowl and sat next to Rohan's body. Although much of Rohan's blood had already flowed out, Vaishali started drinking what was left. Surabhi was suffering in pain. When she saw Vaishali drinking Rohan's blood, she accepted her death.
Her eyes were open, fixed on Vaishali. Vaishali drank all the blood from Rohan's body. Her fair face and white clothes were stained with blood. A drop of blood was on her lip.
Vaishali picked up the bowl filled with Surabhi's blood and started to leave. A voice echoed in the environment: "I am so lonely, broken angel..." This voice was coming from Surabhi's phone. Vaishali looked back, and her caller ID showed "Mom." Tears welled up in Vaishali's eyes.
Vaishali vanished with the bowl. As she disappeared, Surabhi's and Rohan's bodies also disappeared. Rain started pouring, cleaning the blood from the road. When the rainwater fell on Surabhi's phone, it went silent. The forest and the road remained silent, witnessing the tragic death.
So, what will happen next in this story? Is Vaishali really this cruel, or is she just doing Mohini's work? Stay tuned to Mohini (Pyas Daayan ki).

London (A S villa),
Vedansh and Dev felt a sense of relief when they heard from Priya that she hadn't come without protection. Priya still hadn't looked at either of them, her eyes fixed on her file. Meanwhile, Dev and Vedansh sat looking troubled, and silence prevailed for a while. When Priya's attention finally shifted to them, she broke the silence and said.
Priya (looking at Dev) "What's the matter? Big Brother, why are you all so worried?"
Dev (picking up a glass of water from the front) "We received a call from Virendra Uncle in India. He wants Aish to go to India, meet everyone, and stay there now."
Hearing Dev's words, Priya burst into laughter, and her laughter grew louder. She held her stomach and laughed heartily.
Priya (laughing) "And why do they have this illusion that Aish will go to India and stay with them? Forget going to India, she doesn't even like talking to them. Oh, let alone talking, she doesn't even like mentioning their names."
At Priya's words, Vedansh's face turned grim, and Dev became even more worried. Priya continued.
Priya (in an explanatory tone) "Look, brothers, don't get involved with these people. And one more thing, if Aish finds out that you are connecting with them from there, she will break ties with you too."
Hearing Priya's words, their faces fell. Then, composing himself, Vedansh spoke.
Vedansh (drinking water) "But Priyu, Aish should meet them at least once. After all, they are her family. And mistakes happen to humans; they regret it. And one more thing, no matter what, Virendra Uncle will remain her father."
Hearing Vedansh's words, Priya placed her hand over his mouth, silencing him.
Priya (silencing him) "Shhh.. shhh.. shhh. You said it here, but don't say it in front of her that Virendra Uncle is her father, or she will kill you. If there is anyone in the world she hates the most, it is Virendra Uncle. And what they did was not a mistake, it was a sin."
After a slight pause, she began looking at their faces, where various emotions were coming and going. Seeing this, Priya placed the file in her hand on the table, crossed her legs, and sat down, saying with a suspicious glance.
Priya (suspiciously) "By the way, did you two do something wrong?"
Hearing Priya's question, both of them became flustered. Then, composing himself, Vedansh said.
Vedansh (innocently) "It's not my fault; the fault lies with this Dev. He promised Virendra Uncle that he would send Aish to India."
Priya's jaw dropped at Vedansh's words. Meanwhile, in Pratapgarh,
Vaishali had reached the old Singh Bhavan with Surabhi's blood. Tears flowed from her eyes like a waterfall. The hand holding the urn of blood was trembling. Everything that had happened was still playing out before her eyes. She walked slowly to the palace door and gently pushed it. The door opened with a creak... She placed the urn in the designated place for worship. Just then, loud laughter echoed from Mohini's room.
Mohini (laughing) "Ha... ha... ha..., Well done, Vaishali, well done! I am proud of you. After all, you too are becoming ruthless like me. That's right, ha.... ha.... Anyway, mercy and emotions only cause pain."
Vaishali became very angry at Mohini's words and shouted.
Vaishali (shouting with anger) "Silence! Absolute silence! This dance of death you are performing will surely end. You and your empire will perish very soon."
At Vaishali's words, Mohini screamed.
Mohini (screaming) "That day will never come. My empire and my end will never come. They imprisoned me in this room to stop me, but could they completely restrain me? No, so my end will never come."
Vaishali (with anger) "You are a fool. Sins do not have long lives. You will see how you and your sinful city will be destroyed when she arrives."
At Vaishali's words, Mohini sarcastically replied.
Mohini (sarcastically) "We'll see about that later. For now, just prepare for the puja. Bathe at three o'clock, wear black clothes, and sit there. I will chant mantras from here and tell you what to do."
Vaishali said nothing to Mohini's words. She quietly left from there. She then went towards the temple built inside the palace. Seeing the temple, old memories resurfaced. She remembered how everyone used to worship here, Gayatriji's puja, Chandra's Aarti, her and Tara's fight for prasad, Devarajji distributing prasad, Virendra and Amarendra's fight - she remembered it all, and a pang arose in her heart. She sat outside the temple. The temple had become quite dirty; dust had settled on the floor and the idols of the gods. Sitting there, she started crying.
Vaishali (crying) "Why, God, why? Why us? It was such a happy family; everything is destroyed. And look, I can't even come to your temple now because of all the blood that has been shed. Mohini keeps me captive and makes me do all the work. When will I get liberation, God? When will I get liberation from this hell? When?"
Tears flowed from Vaishali's eyes, and she was sobbing uncontrollably.
So, what will happen next in this story? What will be Priya's reaction? What happened to Vaishali? To find out, stay tuned to Mohini (The Thirsty Witch).

Pratapgarh (Old Singh Bhavan),
Vaishali was crying uncontrollably, her pain flowing through her tears. She kept looking at the idol of Murari, and it felt as if even God would cry at her suffering. Vaishali, while crying, spoke.
Vaishali (Crying) "Oh Keshav, what has happened to me? I am neither dead nor alive. When they killed my body, why didn't they free my soul? Why did they tie me to this witch? She makes me do things I don't want to do. She completes all her unholy rituals by making me spill someone's blood with my own hands and is increasing her power."
Looking at her hands, she remembered how she had killed Surbhi. Her crying, her tear-soaked face, how she had begged for her life – remembering all this, Vaishali's heart ached. She wanted to cry even harder.
Vaishali (Looking at her hands) "Keshav, with these very hands today, I have committed two murders. Today, again, I have snatched a child from a mother. I don't mourn the death of that boy, because he was a burden on Earth anyway. But what was that girl's fault? Why did she die by my hands? Oh Lord, when will you pull me out of this quagmire of sin? When will this empire of sin end? When will I see this Mohini suffer? When?" Anger was evident in her voice, and she was almost screaming. Meanwhile,
London (A S Villa),
Prriya's mouth was agape at Vedansh's words, while Dev bowed his head. Priya erupted at Dev's reaction.
Priya (Angrily) "Are you out of your mind? Seriously, do you even know what you have done? And tell me, why did you do it? What do you think, when Aish finds out about this, she will pat you on the back and praise you. (Shaking her head) No, big brother, never! Instead, she will be so angry, who knows what she will do, maybe she will even break ties with all of us."
Dev, trying to make Priya understand, spoke.
Dev (Calmly but in a deep voice) "I know, Priya. I know what I have done. And your and Aish's anger is justified. But understand this, they want to meet Aish, Priyu. (Filling Priya's face with his palms affectionately) Child, they are Aish's family. Sooner or later, she will have to face them."
Vedansh (Understandingly) "Little devil, tell me, who doesn't make mistakes? And whoever doesn't is God. Virendra Uncle is also human. Don't you think he deserves a chance?"
Priya (Angrily) "No, I absolutely do not think such a ridiculous thing! I don't think that person is worth giving a chance. And what you two are calling a mistake, for your information, it wasn't a mistake at all, but a well-thought-out betrayal that took the life of my dear Parul Aunty and made Aish grow up before her time."
As she spoke, Priya's eyes welled up, and her voice choked. Seeing Priya getting emotional, Vedansh gestured to Dev to drop the subject. Dev also dropped the conversation there.
Dev (Changing the subject) "Okay, leave all this. Tell me, why did you come here today? Don't you have to go to the office?"
Priya (Calming down) "No, if I didn't go today, I came here. Today, my plan is to chill."
The atmosphere there lightened. Meanwhile,
Pratapgarh (In the Old Singh Bhavan),
Annoyed by her crying, Mohini suddenly screamed and said.
Mohini (Angrily) "If you're done, then go and bathe and put on the black clothes. Go, we don't have much time left. Go, quickly."
Vaishali felt a lot of anger at Mohini's words, but she suppressed her feelings and went to bathe. Meanwhile, the sound of anklets was coming from Mohini's room, as if she was pacing around. Vaishali was bathing slowly, wanting to delay, but unfortunately, she couldn't do anything even if she wanted to, because her strings were in Mohini's hands. She was just a puppet that Mohini could make dance as she pleased. Knowing this, she was still working slowly, when Mohini's sharp voice was heard.
Mohini (Shouting angrily) "What do you think? That I won't understand what you are doing? No matter how much you try to stop this ritual, it will happen anyway. So stop your drama and get ready quickly."
Hearing her, Vaishali understood that stopping this ritual was beyond her capabilities. Vaishali returned after bathing. She had worn a black lehenga choli, her long hair was loose, falling down to her waist. She looked incredibly beautiful even in those clothes.
Mohini (Angrily) "Now sit down, and do exactly as I tell you."
Mohini's voice came from the room, saying.
Mohini "Oh, god of demons, forgive me. I cannot perform this ritual myself, but I will make this girl perform it. Accept this and increase my power so that I can become free and perform your worship as before."
Saying this, she began her unholy ritual. Whatever she was saying inside, Vaishali, sitting in the hall, was doing the same. The atmosphere was filled with negativity. Even the weather outside began to change. A storm started blowing, lightning flashed, as if nature itself wanted to stop this great destruction but was helpless, thus showing its anger. In the same palace where positive energy rituals were performed years ago, now the worship of negative energy was taking place. Vaishali, with a heavy heart, was doing as she was told, tears filling her eyes. Then, the ritual ended, and Mohini's voice came.
Mohini (In a very calm tone) "Now place the urn in front."
Vaishali did as Mohini said.
Mohini "Hail Satan, accept my offering."
As soon as she said this, the blood in the urn reduced by half. Then, a black smoke rose and went into Mohini's room, and the next moment, Mohini's laughter was heard, indicating that her penance was successful.
Mohini (Happily) "My penance is successful, it is successful! (Then to Vaishali) Go and pour the remaining blood into that kund."
As she was told, Vaishali got up and, taking the urn, went to the garden behind the palace. There was a very large kund built there, filled with blood, emanating a foul smell. Vaishali, closing her nose, poured the blood into the kund. Looking at the kund, it was difficult to tell how many innocent girls' blood it contained. Meanwhile, in the Kali temple in another part of Pratapgarh, an old woman sat before the Goddess, crying and saying.
Old Woman (Taking a deep breath) "Mother, until when will this dance of death continue?"
Meanwhile, Vaishali felt defeated!
So, what will happen next in this story? Why does Aishwarya hate her own father? What kind of ritual did Mohini perform? And who is this old woman? To find out, keep reading, Mohini (Thirsty Witch).

Pratap Garh (Kali Temple),
An old woman sat before the idol of Mother Kali, her eyes filled with tears, gazing at the idol.
Old Woman (with tear-filled eyes) "Oh Mother, what calamity is happening? Was Pratap Garh not damaged enough before, that by increasing this Mohini's powers, there will be more destruction? Was this kingdom happy? The praise of its prosperity and peaceful environment was spread far and wide, but ever since this Mohini cast her eye upon it, everything has been ruined."
Just then, a young man entered the temple. He appeared to be around 29-30 years old, with a radiant aura like the sun on his face, eyes burning like embers, a well-built physique, an attractive personality, and a gentle smile that completed his persona. The moment he entered the temple, his gaze fell upon the woman's tear-filled eyes. Seeing this, the young man's smile vanished, and lines of worry appeared on his face. He came inside, sat beside the woman, and spoke to her.
Young Man (sitting beside the old woman) "Guru Maa, what happened? Tears in your eyes, is something troubling you? Is everything alright?"
When Guru Maa saw the young man, she spoke with surprise.
Guru Maa (with surprise) "Kunwar Sa, what are you doing here at this late hour?"
Young Man (with annoyance) "We've told you before to call us by our name. We have such a good name, Rudra, but you always call us Kunwar Sa. And what late hour is this? It's already dawn."
Seeing Rudra's annoyance, Guru Maa smiled and then, patting his head lovingly, said.
Guru Maa "Well, Kunwar Sa must be called Kunwar Sa, but if you don't like it, we will call you Rudra from now on. Okay? (Becoming a little serious) Rudra, the reason for your coming here, does it mean everything is alright?"
Upon hearing Guru Maa's words, Rudra became serious. Worry had taken root on his face, and he spoke with agitation.
Rudra (with agitation) "No, Guru Maa, everything is fine. It's just some personal problem."
Guru Maa "Personal problem? What happened, Rudra? Why are you so restless?"
Hearing Guru Maa's words, Rudra first calms himself.
Rudra (calming himself) "It's not a serious personal problem. It's just that my mind has been very agitated lately, and today it felt as if something has happened that should not have happened."
Guru Maa (in a calm tone) "Yes, that Mohini has once again given power to the demon, and its strength has increased, due to which even nature is disturbed today."
Rudra (becoming worried) "How long will this continue? When will all this end?"
Guru Maa (looking into the void) "This is the question on everyone's lips: when will all this end? But there is only one answer: when those three arrive."
Rudra (in surprise) "Who are the three?"
Guru Maa "It's not that important for you to know right now. And besides, what the future holds hidden in its womb, only the Creator knows that."
Rudra (hesitantly) "Guru Maa, please ask Dadi Sa to call Aishwarya home. We all want to meet her, but Dadi Sa doesn't want to let her come home."
Guru Maa "Rudra, didn't we just tell you that no one knows what the future holds hidden in its womb? And no one has the power to stop anyone within them."
Rudra couldn't say anything further to Guru Maa upon her words, and then he got up from there and left. Meanwhile, on the other side,
London (A S villa),
Dev had changed the topic of conversation, altering the atmosphere. The three of them were now just making small talk. Just then, Aishwarya was seen approaching. All their eyes fixed on her. Her fair complexion, a dark blue salwar kameez, a braid hanging down to her waist, diamond studs in her ears, and a locket around her neck with Krishna inscribed on it. Her body was turning pink from having just taken a shower, which was enhancing her beauty. She looked like a fully bloomed rose. Everything was perfect, the only missing element was a smile on her face, which was expressing a completely devoid emotion, diligently diminishing her radiance. She walked towards them and sat down. Silence had fallen. After a while, Aishwarya broke the silence, saying.
Aishwarya (seriously) "What happened? Why is everyone so quiet?"
No one understood how to respond to Aishwarya's words. Just then, Priya quickly spoke.
Priya (mischievously) "What can anyone say? Have you left anything worth saying?"
Priya's words made Aishwarya completely surprised.
Aishwarya (surprised) "Meaning, what did I do?"
Priya (jesting) "Meaning, when a brother has such a beautiful sister, his brother will naturally be quiet. And the poor guy will just be thinking about where to find a handsome prince for such a beautiful sister."
Priya started laughing after finishing her sentence, and a smile played on Dev and Vedansh's faces as well.
Aishwarya (looking at Dev and Vedansh) "By the way, what is the reason for you two to be here? Because you all wouldn't leave the company without a reason."
Vedansh was about to say something, but Dev interrupted him.
Dev "We just felt like seeing you, so we came."
Aishwarya (raising her eyebrows) "Are you here to see me on behalf of the Singh family?"
Aishwarya's words stunned all three. Just then, Vedansh, trying to handle the situation, said.
Vedansh "Absolutely not. But why are you saying that?"
Aishwarya "No, I just felt like it!"
Pratap Garh (Singh Villa),
In a very opulent room, Rudra stood before a photograph. There were two photographs there: one of a woman, and the second was of a ten-year-old girl smiling, holding a sword in her hand, standing straight like a warrior. Rudra gazed intently at the photograph, his eyes filled with tears.
Rudra (crying) "Forgive me, my little one. I couldn't stand up for you when you were being taken away from us. (Then, pausing slightly) You were so sensible even then; you must be even more so now, and beautiful too. As a brother, it is my duty to choose a good life partner for you who will keep my Aishwarya happy."
Saying this, he burst into tears. Virendra Ji, standing at the doorway, also had tears in his eyes. He turned back from there.

Pratap Garh (Singh Vila),
Rudra was crying in his room in front of Aishwarya's picture, his tears wouldn't stop at the thought of how helpless he was. Virendra Ji, standing near the door, also had teary eyes; he was, in a way, responsible for all this. Wiping his tears, he walked towards his room. Amarendra also stood behind him. He saw his tears and could do nothing but feel sad.
Meanwhile, on the other side,
London (A S villa),
Priya, Vedansh, Dev, and Aishwarya were all sitting together. Tea and snacks were once again laid out on the tea table in front of them, with only coffee for Aishwarya. Everyone was talking, but Aishwarya was completely silent, just listening to their conversation. A deep sadness was etched on her face. Priya, looking at Aishwarya, spoke.
Priya (looking at Aishwarya) "Aish, I was thinking, why don't we all go to India this time?"
At Priya's words, while Dev and Vedansh looked surprised, Aishwarya's eyes turned cold. Her face looked even more indifferent than before. All eyes were fixed on Aishwarya's face; everyone could see the changing emotions on her face and were waiting for her response. Then, Aishwarya's lips moved, and her answer came in just one word.
Aishwarya (in a harsh voice) "No!"
Everyone had already expected this answer. Her behavior seemed even harsher than before. No one dared to ask anything, yet gathering all her courage, Priya, swallowing her saliva, spoke again.
Priya (swallowing) "Aish, in this way, we are all moving away from our own culture. Don't you think we should go on a trip to India? Don't go in front of those people (then after a slight pause), anyway, it's their fault, not the entire of India, that we can't go there."
As soon as Priya finished speaking, all eyes were once again fixed on Aishwarya. This time, Dev and Vedansh saw a glimmer of hope. But then, Aishwarya's cold voice hit their ears.
Aishwarya (staring into space) "If you all want to go, then go. Travel, see, and understand your culture, but I am not going there. I am not going to the place that took everything from me."
At Aishwarya's words, Dev, strengthening himself this time, said.
Dev (composing himself) "Aish, how long can we live with old things? Those matters are in the past. Now, neither you nor anyone else can do anything. So, move on."
At Dev's words, Aishwarya's eyes suddenly turned red. She spoke abruptly.
Aishwarya (in a somewhat stern tone) "I apologize. But please tell me, what has the Singh family given that makes me not see you?"
Saying this, she left from there. Everyone else was stunned.
Vedansh (in surprise) "How can she say that, that we have made a deal with those people?"
Priya (composing herself) "No, brother, she doesn't think like that. It's just that the name of the Singh family itself brings back bad memories for her, and this was a quick reaction, nothing more."
Both of them could only nod their heads.
Vedansh (to Dev) "What will we tell Virendra Uncle now?"
Priya (in a slightly serious tone) "The truth is that Aish doesn't want to come back."
As Priya finished speaking, Dev was about to say something, but Vedansh stopped him.
Meanwhile, in Aishwarya's room,
Aishwarya had changed back into her gym wear and was walking to the gym. Putting on gloves, she started raining punches on the punching bag. Her entire face was red with anger. She was punching with so much fury that the poor punching bag was in tatters. Fire was blazing from her eyes. Then, a blurry image started appearing before her, in which a woman had a vial of poison in her hands and was trying to open it, but due to her haste, it wasn't opening. Right in front of the woman, a ten-year-old girl was clinging to her feet, crying and trying to stop her.
Girl (crying) "Mom, what are you doing? Don't do this, Mom. How will I live without you? Mom, stop, Mom!"
Woman (hugging the girl) "Aishwarya, my daughter, don't cry. You have the whole family. Why are you crying?"
Aishwarya (crying) "Mom, I need you. Mom, don't you always say that suicide is wrong? Then why are you drinking this poison?"
Woman (crying) "Daughter, for those whose entire world has ended, whose paths have closed, suicide is not wrong!"
Saying this, the woman poured the entire vial of poison into her mouth. The poison was so potent that her breath started faltering immediately. Tears were falling from her eyes.
Woman (crying) "Forgive me, darling. Take care of yourself. I am leaving forever. I am not a good mother. Forgive your mother if you can."
Saying this, the woman left this world.
Aishwarya (crying) "No, Mom, you are very good. Mom, wake up, Mom."
Even when Aishwarya shook her repeatedly, and the woman didn't wake up, Aishwarya screamed.
Aishwarya (screaming) "Mom..."
With this scream, she came out of the pages of the past. Looking around, she realized she was in her gym and sitting on the floor. Tears were streaming from her eyes. Then she wiped her eyes, got up abruptly, and said to herself.
Aishwarya (to herself) "No, I will not forgive anyone. Because of all of them, I was separated from my mother. I will not forgive anyone. This is my vow."
Saying this, she again unleashed her anger on the punching bag. Fire was blazing from her eyes.

Jai Shri Krishna,

Pranatah Klesh Nashaya Govindaya Namo Namah!
Pratapgarh (Singh Villa),
Virendra Ji was sitting in his room, flipping through an old album. It was his wedding album. Looking at all those old photographs, his old memories were refreshing. As he turned the page, a picture came before him in which he and his wife were present. Virendra Ji had his arm around her neck, standing behind her while his wife sat on a chair. Looking at that picture, tears started falling from his eyes, wetting his cheeks.
Virendra Ji (stammering) "Parul, where did you go? Everything is finished. My life was as happy and peaceful with you as it is incomplete after you left. After you left, Rudra and Varidhi stopped talking, and Aishwarya, she doesn't even want to see our faces. Everything is finished, Parul, everything is finished!"
He was still talking to the pictures when a boy's screaming voice came from downstairs, calling everyone.
Boy (screaming) "Mom, Grandma, Dad, Big Dad, Varidhi, Kavya, brother, where is everyone? Come quickly."
At the boy's screaming like this, everyone came running.
Gayatri Ji (nervously) "What is it, Shaurya? Why are you screaming like this?"
Shaurya (with slight concern) "Grandma, you know Lakhan Dada, his granddaughter Surabhi's body was found at the crossroads. Yesterday evening, she was coming from the city by bus. Everyone is saying that she was going towards our palace because her blood was also drained."
On Shaurya's words, lines of worry appeared on everyone's faces. Then Amarendra Ji's wife, whose name was Palak, spoke.
Palak (nervously) "But she was quiet for a long time, wasn't she? Then how did she suddenly start killing girls again?"
Gayatri Ji didn't say anything to her words; instead, she sat down on the platform. Amarendra tried to explain to Palak.
Amarendra (to Palak) "She cannot kill anyone unless someone enters her territory. But whoever enters her territory comes out as a corpse."
Rudra (thinking) "But that path is closed, then how did that girl go there?"
Everyone became worried at Rudra's words. Then Virendra Ji spoke.
Virendra Ji (looking at Rudra) "We will think about all this later. First, let's go to Lakhan Kaka's house and see what happened. His granddaughter will also have to be cremated. No one will be in a state to do that there."
Rudra did not reply to Virendra Ji's words, nor did he look at him. He walked straight outside. Shaurya also followed him. Virendra Ji also started to go out when Kavya's voice fell on his ears, who was speaking fearfully to Varidhi.
Kavya (fearfully) "Varidhi, will that witch kill us too?"
Varidhi (worriedly) "I don't know what will happen? When will all this end?"
On Varidhi's words, Palak Ji spoke irritably.
Palak Ji (irritably) "When Brother Saheb wishes. If he goes and meets her once, she will stop everything upon seeing him."
At Palak's words, tears welled up in Virendra Ji's eyes once again. He hid his tears and turned his face, but Amarendra Ji's gaze fell on him.
Amarendra Ji (angrily to Palak Ji) "Palak, it's not necessary to run your sharp tongue in every matter. Sometimes, it's good to be quiet. The children are standing here. Do you have any sense at all?"
Virendra Ji silenced him and took him along. Palak Ji went into the kitchen with a pout. Gayatri Ji went towards her room, while Varidhi and Kavya went into Varidhi's room.
Meanwhile, elsewhere
London (AS Villa),
Aishwarya was completely drenched in sweat. She was terribly tired, but still, she did not stop. Her anger had not subsided yet. All those scenes were still flashing before her eyes, remembering which set her body on fire, fueling her anger. Aishwarya stopped and took off her gloves, throwing them carelessly on the nearby table. She sat on the sofa there and wiped the sweat from her face with a towel. After wiping off the sweat, she leaned back on the sofa, closed her eyes. Her breathing was rapid, indicating her fatigue. With her eyes still closed, she went back into the depths of her past, where in a very luxurious room, a man and a woman were lying on the bed, and their bodies were covered only by a thin sheet. The two were so close to each other as if they were one body. The room's atmosphere was very romantic. Remembering that scene, Aishwarya's fists tightened. She opened her eyes abruptly and drank the energy drink from the bottle in front of her in one gulp, then took out her anger on the punching bag again. Meanwhile, Dev and Vedansh sat for a while and then left. Outside the car, Dev said to Vedansh.
Dev (worriedly) "What will we do now?"
Vedansh (thinking) "We won't do anything now. Whatever will happen, Virendra Uncle will do it himself."
Dev (with concern) "But Aish won't listen to him. She is sitting like a separate volcano."
Vedansh (slightly happy) "Let's talk to Mahir once, maybe he can suggest a way."
Dev nodded in agreement, and then they both left from there. Meanwhile, in Pratapgarh,
The redness of the sun was spreading everywhere. The atmosphere was calm everywhere, or you could say it was silent, wrapped in a shroud of grief, because in that peaceful atmosphere, there was one house in Pratapgarh that had lost its young daughter. A crowd had gathered outside Lakhan Kaka's house. Surabhi, wrapped in white clothes, was the cause of everyone's grief. Surabhi's mother's condition was quite bad; she was repeatedly fainting, while Lakhan Kaka was sitting at the door, completely oblivious to anything. Just then, Rudra and Shaurya arrived there. Handling everything, they started taking Surabhi towards the cremation ground. Everyone's eyes were moist. After reaching there, Shaurya performed the final rites because Surabhi was the only child in the house, and her father was also not present. While everyone's eyes were moist, something was bothering Rudra. Virendra Ji was lost in his own grief.

London (Bhargav's House),
Dev and Vedansh had left A S villa. Neither of them was thinking straight. On the way, Vedansh suggested they go to his house, so they both arrived at Vedansh's place. The house was neither too big nor too small; it was a medium-sized, beautiful house. The exterior was adorned with white marble. There was also a small garden area outside, enclosed by a boundary wall, ensuring privacy. The garden featured flowerbeds with a variety of colorful flowers in full bloom, attracting butterflies that added to its charm. In the center of the garden stood a fountain. The base of the fountain was shaped like a lotus, with a peacock in the middle, its feathers fully spread. Water cascaded from the peacock's feathers, flowing into the lotus-shaped base of the fountain and then trickling down to water the garden's plants. Another part of the garden housed the parking area, decorated with small plants. Inside, an impressive car collection was kept. Suddenly, Vedansh's car rumbled in, and the two of them stepped out. Lines of worry were etched on both their faces. They silently entered the house. The interior was even more beautiful, decorated in a white and blue color scheme. From the interiors to the curtains, everything was either white or blue, creating a very serene atmosphere in the house. They both sat down inside. Just then, a maid brought them water. As Dev was about to drink, his phone started ringing. "Will you ever ask me how I am feeling...?" Dev looked at his phone; it was Virendra Ji calling. Vedansh gestured for him to answer the call. As soon as Dev received the call, a voice came from the other end.
Virendra Ji (seriously): "How are you, Dev, and how is everyone else?"
Dev (calmly): "I am fine, Uncle, and everyone else is also fine. How are you all?"
Virendra Ji (taking a deep breath): "How can a person be? Whose children don't talk to him, who hate him."
The pain in Virendra Ji's voice was evident. Dev had no answer to his words, so he remained silent.
Virendra Ji (slightly eagerly): "Child, did you talk to Aishwarya? Has she agreed to come back?"
Hearing Virendra Ji's question, Dev was unsure how to respond. Just then, Vedansh spoke up.
Vedansh (calmly): "Uncle, hello. This is Vedansh speaking."
Virendra Ji: "Oh, be happy, son. You are there too."
Vedansh (coolly): "Yes."
Virendra Ji (a little restless): "Son, none of you have answered my question. Is Aishwarya coming back?"
Dev became worried about what to answer. Vedansh calmed him down and said,
Vedansh (sadly): "Uncle, she doesn't even like to hear the name of that place, let alone come there. We couldn't even talk to her; she becomes a volcano erupting at the mention of your names."
Hearing Vedansh's words, Virendra Ji lowered his head. He then took a deep breath and looked at Parul Ji's photograph in front of him, tears streaming from his eyes.
Virendra Ji (sadly): "I had deceived someone. This is all the consequence of that, that my daughter doesn't want to talk to me."
Vedansh said nothing to Virendra Ji's words.
Dev (sadly): "Uncle, don't worry. We will keep trying. Let's see what happens."
Saying this, Dev disconnected the call. Vedansh was lost in his thoughts, pondering something. Seeing Vedansh lost in himself, Dev shook him and asked,
Dev (shaking Vedansh): "What happened? Where did you get lost?"
Vedansh (thinking): "Ash told us that her family had sent her here, which is why she hates them. But she wouldn't hate them this much just for being sent here? There must be something else."
Dev (nodding): "Yes, you are right. There's something different that we don't know. Ash's hatred can't be so hollow, and Priya hates them just as much. Maybe she knows something too."
Vedansh (thinking): "Why don't we ask Priya what exactly is going on?"
Dev agreed with Vedansh's suggestion. Meanwhile,
Partapgarh (Singh Villa),
Kavya and Varidhi were sitting in Varidhi's room, facing each other. Both were thinking about what Palak Ji had said.
Kavya (confused): "Varu, why did Mom say that to Dad, that if he met that witch, everything would be alright?"
Varidhi (making a face): "I don't know why, but it feels like my stepmother is angry with Dad. I always notice this."
Neither of them understood. Meanwhile,
In the Old Singh Mansion,
Mohini was sitting on the floor in her room. Only her back was visible. Her long hair was loose, touching the floor. She held Virendra Ji's photograph in her hand and was kissing it like a madwoman.
Mohini (taking a deep breath): "Kunwar Sa, no matter how much I try to forget you, I cannot forget your love, which belongs only to me. It is only mine, only and only mine." (She paused for a moment, ran her hand over the photograph, and said)
"My body burns in the name of you. It will only be extinguished now when your love rains upon me, through your lips, and when you are named after me, and I after you!"
What will happen next? Read Mohini (Thirst of a Witch) to find out.
