Bab 50: At last find Mr.Haldar and Nagpa.
We went to the door of the last room. The door of this room is only blocked. Not locked of course. The colonel pressed gently with his hand on the door. The door opened with a creaking sound. Somewhere inside the room is dark and somewhere light. Everything in the room looks blurry due to that soft light.
The colonel entered. I also followed him. We both entered inside. I noticed a strange thing there. Once again that wonderful and beautiful aroma came to our nose. What a strange story! I got that fragrance in the forest in the presence of that magical woman. I got that aroma here too.
The colonel said quietly, "Jayant, there is a scent here too. This scent indicated the presence of the ghost. That means the enchanted woman is here. We must tread carefully."
Yes, you are right.
This room is much bigger than the previous room. There is no clear view from one side to the other.
We moved forward with timid feet.
Stones of different sizes under the feet. Stepping on those stones in the dark. As a result, our journey has become very difficult. I looked around. This room is also filled with many large old and broken idols. The naked statues are looking only at us. Looks like it's going to pounce on both of us in no time. Their vision seems to be alive. Whatever Their terrifying gaze could not deter us. We went further. Searched all rooms thoroughly. I did not find any sign of human or ghost anywhere.
I stopped a little further. Breathing sounds. I was really scared. Then I said to the colonel, "Colonel, do you hear the sound of breathing?"
The colonel listened carefully. Then he said, "Yes, I hear you."
Snake! Is there any poisonous snake in this room?
Why?
No I mean I can hear the sound of breathing so I said so.
We have to find out whether it is a snake or a human being.
We noticed the sound and moved towards him. I see Mr. Haldar. His hands, feet and face are bound. He is left in a corner of the room.
I quickly untied all her body. Mr. Haldar is panting. Mr. Haldar is trembling with fear.
"My whole body is burning," Mr.Haldar said in a sobbing voice.
The colonel said without any reply, "Mr. Haldar, have you seen that magical woman?"
No, I did not see the face. And I don't remember anything from when I fainted inside the forest. I opened my eyes and saw that I was lying in this dark room with my hands and feet tied.
The colonel said, "Do you remember what happened before you fainted?"
Before fainting, the magical woman came to me and mumbled something. Then my eyes closed. And I fell to the ground. I don't know what happened to me after that. But why is my whole body burning?
"Not much," said the colonel. "The pain will be cured by crushing the leaves of some medicinal plants and applying them." I did not see the terrible ghost in that room.
Then do so quickly.
Be patient. Where is Nagpa first? Nagpa should also be sought. He must have brought him here.
After much searching I found Nagpa in another corner of the room. He lies there unconscious. His hands and feet are also tied. Poor Nagpa, he himself has disappeared while looking for his wife.
The colonel knelt down beside Nagpa. He tried a lot to wake up Nagpa. Still not successful. The condition of Nagpa has become very bad. He hasn't eaten anything in a while. It seems that he does not have the strength to wake up.
I said, "Hurry up, Colonel. It's not long before daylight. If it's daylight, that terrible ghost will surely come back here. We have to get out of here quickly."
Nagpa's body is huge. It is very difficult to carry him up the stairs and out. He has to wake up to go out.
"We could not leave here without taking Nagpa. We must take him with us," said the colonel.
"Whatever you do," said Mr. Haldar, "make haste. That terrible demon may come back again. He is very terrible. We must get out of here quickly. There is danger in falling into the clutches of the magical woman."
I said, "But...?"
But what?
No, how will we deal with Nagpa? He must be woken up anyway. Otherwise it is very difficult to carry him.
Nagpa's whole body shook. It was no use either. Even the soles of his hands and feet were tickled. But he didn't get up.
The colonel said, "We should not delay. Nagpa must be carried. We cannot leave him here. He has come here with us. And besides, Nagpa must wake up to catch that ghost. Only then will we search for the mystery of the enchanted woman." I can."
Me and the colonel took Nagpa off the ground. Then I took the right arm and the colonel took the left arm.
We moved forward slowly. I reached the stairs with great difficulty. The problem is getting there. This came with a lot of difficulty. But it is very difficult to climb up the stairs holding Nagpa.
I said, "Nagpa is very difficult to carry such a huge body up."
"We must try," said the colonel. "We must take Nagpa. There is no escape from the devil except to climb up."
Finally I got impatient and moved on.
After climbing four steps of the stairs, my left foot slipped.
Behind me was Mr. Haldar. He caught me. If he didn't catch me, I would have fallen down.
Mr.Haldar said, "Jayant, tread carefully. Once you slip, there is danger."
Finally I came up with a lot of difficulty.
With great difficulty, I took Nagpa with me and came out of the temple.
I said, "Now where shall we go. No, I mean in the house we built or in the car."
The colonel said, "We cannot go far carrying Nagpa. We must take shelter here in some safe place."
