75.
The rumble -- kind of like laboured breathing -- starts
getting close.
Closer.
Very close.
Just feet away.
Right there.
And Rudra swings the weapon.
Catches the approaching figure bang in the middle of the
torso.
THUD!
Bittu doesn’t know what hit him! He flips in mid-air and
falls hard on the ground.
Moans.
Rudra realizes it’s Bittu. Helps him up.
BITTU
(in pain)
What the hell is wrong with you?
RUDRA
What the hell is wrong with you?
You’re running like you saw a
ghost!
BITTU
(irony)
Right.
VICKY
Vicky arrives at a sculpture of the bride and headless groom.
Same as the illustration in the book.
Next to it, he notices a crevice in the wall, with a large
block blocking it partly.
Strange wind and sounds seem to come from the crevice.
Should he dare to go in?
And then he hears!
HER VOICE
(softly)
Vickyyy...
The hair on his neck stands up. He stands, frozen in place.
Behind him, barely visible, the shadowy figure of a woman in
a red sari.
