Chapter 1 — Identity
When they reached the grand gate of that ancient royal residence (Raj-Baari) , it was already night. Ananta glanced at his wristwatch. Aditya checked his mobile phone. The clock struck nine.
Aditya turned to his two friends, Ananta and Onir, and said, "Well , guys it's just 9 'o clock."
Onir chuckled, "What you said! Looking at the atmosphere here, it feels like midnight, even though it's a rural area! For some city dwellers like us , we call this time as our evening."
Ananta remarked, "Oh, Onir, look at Param! He's sleeping like the people here."
Onir, with Param on his shoulder, woke him up a bit and whispered, "P-OROM, POROM..."
Param woke up abruptly. "What? What happened? Where am I? Did they take me?" he exclaimed, sitting up in the car.
Aditya sarcastically remarked, "What, having another horror dream, huh?"
Param, annoyed, said, "Oh, shut up, Adi! Your constant sarcasm, what's the point...ugh!"
The four friends began to laugh among each other.
Amidst the conversation, they were unaware of the presence of two shadow figures infront of their car. Param firstly glanced at them and screamed mildly ," By the way , who are they ? "
(Pointing at the figures). Others noticed two figures outside. Both wrapped in emergency blankets.
The mysterious figures slowly ascending towards their car , step by step. This maked everybody shocked and nervous that even Anantya , being a responsible prompt police officer, had forgotten to take an action. Adi carefully took out his revolver and pointed at them.
They observed one figure, a tall man, approached the car's glowing headlights, took out something resembling a very small box, and the other person lifted a long scale like cylindrical object towards the tall guy. The first person ignited the rod-like thing, with the help of the box, which caught fire on it like a torch. They realised that the guys just lit a candle. Then, much to their surprise, the tall guy moved towards the car window with the torch (candle). Aditya raised his revolver towards him.
As the figure approached the car, he used his blanket to shield the torch flame and pointed it towards his face.
Param recognized him and said, "Oh, it's Rinardho !" Aditya relaxed his grip on the revolver, and smiled at Rinardho with a mild sigh.
Rinardho asked, "Hey, what's going on? Gun?"
Aditya, feeling...
