Chapter 204 - Save her!
Kalki speaks restlessly catching a glimpse of Maya's condition "Stop it if you are doing this!".
The shadow forms into an enchanting lady's shape and chuckles as if ridiculing his request "Why do you even bother, child? It's good for her to leave early. We are just saving her from future miseries!"
Kalki's eyes never left Maya's face as he heard the shadow's words and creases his eyebrows in doubt 'Should I really let her die? Why doesn't it feel right at all? I myself tried to kill her before but.. Why couldn't I now?'
"Leave her alive. I still have something to do with her-"
Ha Ha!
Kalki's hesitant tone made the shadow to laugh hard and it wonders in amused tone "Since when you decided to keep her alive? I need her dead. Now!"
Kalki's hesitation starts to fade as he heard the shadow and speaks suspiciously eyeing the shadow "You never liked taking a life. .. And you are saying that...you want her dead?"
The shadow becomes silent noticing Kalki's doubt in his words and speaks anxiously "No! I didn't mean like that. This girl can send me far away from you, dear. And I don't want to. I don't want to leave my son again..."
Kalki's heart melts with those words and smiles faintly "Are you afraid of this? You wanted her dead just because of this mere reason?"
He sighs contently and smiles "I won't let that happen ever. You can let her free-".
"No! I won't!"
Kalki gasps at the urgent tone of the shadow and speaks to persuade it "You don't have to worry when you have your son beside you, Mother!"
The shadow starts forming into an intense smoke and Kalki frowns as he can sense the snow cloud moving downwards. He wanted to warn the shadow but he has no time for that as the snow will crush Maya in few moments or she will die by that freezing temperature itself in few minutes.
He didn't have any other way. So, he leaps to save her and when he fell in between Maya and the snow cloud, the huge snow storm around them disappeared. Kalki is facing Maya's face now and darts his eyes on her.
He gets nervous as he senses her frozen body and summons Bhommi immediately.
"I summon you, The Fairy of Dolls!"
He didn't have any idea how to actually summon her. So, he used the information of her in his mind.
Last time when he heard about Bhommi, he never would have imagined he would actually summon her! But he had no choice now as he is really clueless with this situation. As a Crown Prince of The Northern Realm he knows when to leave some tasks to others when he has no idea about it.
When the shadow notices this, it makes its evil smoke to surround Kalki. It tried to stop Kalki from summoning that Fairy-The Divine Spirit. But no vail.
Bhommi appears to the place with a confused expression and descends from the sky.
Kalki who was covered by the smoke, now gets freed. He sees Bhommi and orders in a murderous tone "Save her!"
Bhommi "..."
Who in the world would tell those emotional words like that?! He sounds as if the whole universe is under his foot! Humph! No wonder Sister Maya hates him!
-----
After Bhommi's appearance to the Countryside Pavilion, she saved Maya by her powers. When Maya woke up after several minutes, she sat silently while staring the ground in deep thoughts.
Kalki was sitting on the stairs which connect the sickroom to the garden lawn. Maya was sitting on the ground of the lawn and Bhommi stood beside her, holding Maya's shoulder to support her.
No one spoke. Both Kalki and Bhommi remained silent awkwardly. Suddenly, the three of them felt like some... allies? Only for her actually. Like they are on same side just few moments before.
When Kalki thought of leaving, Maya asks staring at the ground still "How did she control your power?"
He gets stunned yet did not express his thoughts on his face as usual 'Did she notice that?! While she was dying?'
He didn't utter a single word as he decides to not answer her even though he himself is confused about that.
Maya asks impatiently "Are you hiding something from us?"
He stares her for few moments contemplating whether to answer her or not.
He doesn't want to answer her at all but something about her gaze makes him to melt down his ego a bit. Just as a single drop of water from a huge snow glacier! He surrenders a tiny bit not even realizing that.
"Yes!"
Maya is baffled as she didn't expect him to even look at her "..." Did he just answer that?! I thought of warning him again... and even thought of blaming him! I thought..only after creating some guilt by my words will be easy to make him speak out...
She grunts in that thought as she doesn't want him to slip away again before answering. She saw his moment of weakness and doesn't want to leave this chance so she asks without letting him to think "Can you tell me what is it? I know you. If you really don't want to lose your power you should speak! If you didn't want your powers, you would have let me die today. I know that very well. But if you don't say anything now, then consequences will be severe. Don't you think it's too unfair for me? I suffered a lot sonce I stepped in this country. How could you still be this ungrateful even after I have helped you?!"
Kalki clenched his fist and glares at her before speaking bitterly "She only asked my blood-"
Out of nowhere, Bhommi gasps loudly "Don't tell me you gave her!"
She was silently listening to them before but she couldn't help blurt her mind out when she heard Kalki's words.
Seeing Bhommi gasping in horror, Maya gets a bad premonition and asks in mind 'Tell me what will happen if he did'
