Aadi & Devaki were hell scared.

"Aadi kya hua yeh..?? Bacche ki awaj logoke chikhne ki awaj..?? " Devaki asked.

They heard some footsteps.

"Koi aa raha hai.. Hame kahi chupna padega.. Mujhe yeh sab kuch thik nai lag raha.. " Devaki said.

"Uss ped par chadho.. Wo sabse uncha hai... " Aadi said.

Both climbed upon a tree & sat there holding breaths. 3 men came there with Adivasi attire.

"Yeh rahi wo aurat.. Ise wapis le chalo.. Iske bager rasm adhuri hai.. " A man said.

Second man picked her up & they went towards same direction frm where that voice came.

"Aadi wo dekho. " Devaki pointed towards the same direction.

He saw a full situated village in between forest. It was a well managed village. Houses were at same distance from each other. There were hardly 30 to 40 houses.  They were made of bamboos.
They could easily saw a Mandir type thing in between the village. It was decorated with flowers & diyas. They saw a tall & fat man coming towards Mandir. It was looking like he was a leader of the village.
He told something to his fellow villagers. Everyone screamed again. A women with little different yet in a junglee avatar came with a baby in her hand. Aadi & Devaki could easily hear the baby's cry. That tall man snatched the baby frm her hands. He was carelessly holding that baby. Baby was continuously crying. That man started talking in raised voice.

"Hey Jungle devta.. Aaj hum yeh bacchi tumhe bali chadha rahe hai.. Yeh iss baat ka pratik hai.. Ki agle 9 saalo tak kisi bhi aurat ki pehli santan koi ladki na ho.. Iss bacchi ko bali chadha kar hum apse yeh prarthana karte hai ki sab ki pehli santan ladke ke roop me aakar hamara vansh aagey badhaye.. Iss ladki ke baad pehli santan ki roop me koi bhi ladki iss ganv me janm na le.. Hamari yeh prarthana swikar karo jungle devta.. Iss bali ko swikar karo........ "

Again everyone screamed & started patting on Nagaras. That scremes & Voice of Nagaras were making the scene more horrible. Devaki & Aadi understood everything. Both were silently crying.

Suddenly....

That man held that new infant frm her feet & bumped her head on a pointed & snag rock fr three times.

Aadi kept his hand on Devaki's mouth to prevent her frm screaming. Both closed their eyes in scare.

That man started laughing cruelly. The baby's cry stopped in a flash of second. They started celebrating her immolation by dancing around her dead body which was now looking as a ball of flesh dipped in blood.

An innocent life came to an end just after few days frm her first breath. Aadi & Devaki saw this & was seating on tree with depressed look.

                      ******

Here everyone was searching fr Aadi & Devaki.

"Mujhe bahot chinta ho rahi hai.. Kaha gye honge dono..?? " SD said.

Rajveer ordered his officers to find them.

"Main khud bhi jaunga unhe dhoondne.. " VM declared.

"Par isme khatra ho sakta hai.. " Rajveer tried to convince him.

But both VM& SD wanted to join the officers so Rajveer allowed them.

"Yeh sab kuch illigal hai.. Ek to hum itne raat ko aye yaha.. Ab aap Rajveer ji in logoko apni khoj me shamil kar rahe hai.. " Nirbhay reminded.
