There Is Only One You!

Shiv had a painful expression on his face. He tried to understand her, he swore that he would always be by her side and protect her, but never did he fully understand on how she truly felt. While the time that she was kidnapped, just how scared would she have been, how frustrated she must have felt and most of all... how much lonelyness she could have dealt with.

These thoughts circled his mind round and round.

....

Aditya broke the silence out of pure curiosity.

"Umm.... Lady Ira, I would like to ask you something... Why did you decide to tell us everything now? May I know your purpose for doing so?"

"Well... I do have a purpose behind it. I want your help to save my family. I don"t know who it was, but there is definitely someone else who has the same ability like me, to go to the future. That person, killed my dad and grandpa and that person is currently after the rest of my family. I came back here once again to stop that person from doing anything bad to my family. But little did I know, it seems like I am deeply involved in this world than I thought."

Once Ira finished explaining to them, there was dead silence in the room. Both Shiv and Abhinav had a dreadful expression on their faces.

"What happened? Both of you look a little scary... Did I say something wrong??" Ira was confused. She couldn"t begin to understand why they both had a horrendous look on their faces. It was a little while ago, but what was happening now?

"Ira, let me make it clear. Are you sure that it was a person from here? Are you sure that you were not mistaken?" Abhinav questioned Ira to get a clear view on what she told them.

Ira nodded her head, "Yes, I am sure it was a person from this world. Though I didn"t get to meet that person, I somehow felt it. You could call it a gut feeling and when I was there after coming here for the first time... I constantly felt like someone was keeping a watch on my every move..."

"Then... Shiv... this is bad! It could get very dangerous for her to stay here! I didn"t know that there was actually someone else apart from this kid, who had survived that night from The Varma clan. If that guy is one of the Varma"s, then we have to be very careful and most of all... *Took a quick glance at Ira* your family could be in danger even as we speak!"

That was a bolt from the blue! Ira never considered that possibility. It was actually during the time that she came to the past, that her dad and grandpa were killed! Abhinav"s words brought a sudden realisation to her. She didn"t think that much before she decided to make a move.

If what he said was correct, then there is a huge possibility that her remaining family members could also be in danger.

Ira suddenly went weak on her legs and fell onto the floor as she broke into a cold sweat.

"Then what do I do? They were killed while I was here in this world! Now... I am not even sure how they are doing? Will they be alright? Are they safe?? What do I do if they were already killed!??"

Ira was so scared and horrified by the thought that something might have happened to her family. She was not sure of what was what any longer. All she wanted was to go back and make sure that they are safe and sound. Unless she makes sure of their safety with her own eyes, she couldn"t stop worrying.

Abhinav and the others tried to calm her down. But nothing worked. All that was left for them, was to try and track the person who was capable of doing that.

"Ira, here, listen to me. I will definitely find that person who is behind all of this! Please don"t worry. I am sure nothing could have happened to your family. Right now, you must be strong and pull yourself together. With you like this, how could we do our work?"

"All the words that Shiv said were true. I must not lose it here and definitely not now! I have to stay strong at least for my family. I can only catch that person here. If he escapes to that world, we are doomed."

Ira"s eyes looked clear. She received the courage from all those people which helped her to strengthen her.

"Good! I will do whatever it takes for us to track that person. If I receive any information on him, I will be sure to tell you first. Chahna, take Ira to her room and let her get some rest."

"Yes, Your Highness."

...

"Shiv..."

"Yeah, I know. It"s just that I didn"t accept that there would actually be someone from Varma"s apart from Ira... The situation is indeed very dangerous! General Veer and Dev, go and collect all the informations about the Varma"s, especially on those who escaped that tragic night. Gather as many men as you want. But I want the information as soon as possible!"

"Yes, Your Highness. We will return with the information!"

.....

"Ira, don"t worry... Everything will be fine. I am sure your family is fine. Please don"t worry. I will do whatever I can to help you feel better. So please...."

"Chahna, thanks. But I am not sure about anything anymore. Maybe I shouldn"t have never found this pendant in the first place. If I didn"t none of these would have happened. I might not have come to this world. My family wouldn"t have been forced to face such danger. It was all my fault!"

Ira sounded so depressed and blamed herself deeply for all the things that had happened till then. All she wanted was to confirm the safety of her family, then only she felt like she could even breath....
