Chapter 21: Message In Form Of Massacre
But both the mother and son don't know that a dangerous message from Vardha is coming for them.
As both of them were deep in their thoughts about the matter that has come into their knowledge, some men entered into the restaurant.
They all took their seats in the restaurant with some of them fixed their gaze on the Deva and his mother while other acted normal and order food for themselves.
Deva sensed all of the gazes that were upon him and his mother and in a very meticulous way Deva studied all of the people who are looking at him.
Deva remained very calm as to not alert thos people and seeing this careful behavior of his son, his mother also understood all of the situation.
Meanwhile the food that those people had ordered arrived on their tables and the waiters who served them gave them smiles and began to move towards the kitchen.
But those people stopped the waiters and called them closer to their table and when the waiters arrived they all got up and then...
*bang*
*bang*
*bang*
*bang*
*bang*
*bang*
Those people shot down all of the waiters and sent the entire restaurant in a state of chaos and panic as all of the customers began to ran.
"No one gets out of here alive." One of those men said these words and in it's next second only the sound of guns blazing and shouting of dying people remained in that restaurant.
Deva and his mother took shelter to save themselves as Deva's mother forbade him from doing anything.
Before their eyes both mother and son saw the fallen bodies of innocent people and heard the pitiful cries of the people who were begging to be spared.
But those men showed not a single line of care and concern for those cries and begging and just continued to shoot all of those people down.
They all scattered around the restaurant and began to search for the people who were hiding and once they found all of those people they began to shoot them as well.
In a few minutes the restaurant which was filled with the poor people who were working tirelessly for their families and were eating to enjoy their time died just for nothing or was it worth it.
Except for Deva and his mother no one was alive in that restaurant and when they both heard nothing except for the air that came into their ears toring down the veils of silence.
They both came out of their hiding and saw the massacre that has taken place in the restaurant. The fallen dead bodies completely silent with the great pool of blood that has came out of those dead bodies.
Going through those dead bodies and pool of blood Deva's eyes stumbled upon a pillar on which he saw a letter fixed with the pillar by the held of dagger.
Deva came closer to the pillar and pulled out the dagger and along with it he also took the letter in his hands and began to read it which he found it to be from Vardha who have sent a message from him.
"HELLO MY DEAR BEST FRIEND DEVA. AND PRANAM AMMA. I HOPE BOTH OF YOU ARE DOIBG VERY WELL. FOR THE LAST SEVEN YEARS I HAVE MISSED YOU BOTH A LOT. BUT I MUST SAY I LIKE THE WAY IN WHICH YOU SHOWED YOURSELF. YOU BROKE THE RULE OF KHANSAAR THAT YOU HAVE MADE YOURSELF. NOW I CAN'T BREAK THE PUNISHMENT AND RULE LIKE YOU. SO I AM GOING TO HUNT YOU DOWN NOW. BUT BEFORE YOU I WILL HUNT DOWN AMMA FIRST AND LET HER DIE BEFORE YOUR VERY EYES. TILL THEN ENJOY AND TAKE CARE. AND PLEASE TELL ME HOW YOU LIKE THIS MASSACRE MESSAGE OF MINE FOR YOU."
YOUR BEST FRIEND,
VARDHA RAJA MANNAR."
Reading the entire letter Deva became very enraged and soon his mother also took the letter in her hands and read it as well.
Unlike Deva, she became very shocked reading the words of Vardha and the change in his behavior that was showed by the letter.
Both of the mother and son looked around them once again and found the dead bodies lying around them and the final words of Vardha about the massacre message written in the letter is ringing in their heads.
The more they saw this scene before them the more Deva became angry at his former best friend and more than that he got filled with concern for his mother.
Because in that letter Vardha has also said that he will kill Deva's mother right before his eyes. So to protect his mother Deva decided to accept the suggestion of Bilal.
Taking the letter from his mother, Deva folded it and put it in his pocket and then looking at his mother he told her, "Amma we need to go to Hyderabad right now."
Hearing Deva his mother understood what he meant by that and she complied with his words as well and told him, "I understand Deva. Vardha has completely succumbed to his evil blood. And right now Radha Rama is the only person in this entire world who can give us shelter from Vardha. Inform Bilal about our coming."
Obeying his mother Deva dialed the number of Bilal who was waiting for the phone or Deva and as he got the phone of Deva, Bilal came to a side and there he received the call in which Deva told him,
Deva: "Bilal we are coming to Hyderabad by tomorrow morning. Tell this to Rama as well."
Saying these words Deva cut the call and took his mother away from there. Back at Obulamma's house, Bilal came back to Radha Rama's side told her about the coming of Deva and his mother.
Hearing this news from Bilal, Radha Rama gave a smile and then she sent both Bilal and Aadhya to their different rooms and she herself went to her room as well where she took a sleep to get ready to welcome both Deva and his mother.
