Cyrus opened his eyes. The green drapes, the white bottles of glucose and the green bedsheets screamed at him that he was in the hospital.
“Uncle.”
Roohi was next to him. Her two ponytails waved in the air as she stood up in excitement. She placed a tiny palm on his cheek.
“How are you uncle? Aryan uncle was bad. Did he harm you?”
“No princess. What about you?”
“I don’t know. I slept off in his house and woke up when nambudi uncle was taking me here.” She thought Namboothiri was his name.
“How are you Cyrus?”, the doctor had walked in along with Tara and Shekhar.
“I’m fine doctor.”
The incidents were coming back to him. “Tara, It was Aryan. He was the culprit. I didn’t do anything.”
“We know Cyrus. Don’t worry.” Tara consoled him.
The doctor checked his eyes, his heartbeat and was writing something on his prescription pad, “Cyrus, you are good to go. Fit as a fiddle! Here, you’ll get this medicine in the pharmacy. Buy this and you can leave.”
Jennifer walked in with a flask in hand, “Hi Cyrus! Good morning! Have some coffee.”
He couldn’t stop smiling at the sight of her. He looked at Tara, “What happened yesterday? How long have I been out?”
“You have been out for about 7 hours after we found you. We’ll fill you in with all the stories later. Now have some coffee and breakfast first.”
He looked at his watch. 10.20AM. The previous day by noon, he had met Aryan and things had gone wrong. The search must have run into the night. He looked at Roohi. She was playing with her Pappa’s phone.
“Pappaaa… you got a text.” She ran with the phone to Shekhar. Tara’s phone beeped too.
Meeting in the office.
It was Sudheeran’s text. Jennifer looked up in time to see Tara and Shekhar look at each other, tensed.
“What now?”
Cyrus looked at Jennifer for some update. She told him they were called for the meeting and asked him to join her.
*****
Sudheeran was his same old, smiling self again. He greeted everyone with a smile. His smile faded when he saw Jennifer.
“You were released only because we realized that you were not involved in the idol theft. But the fact that you disguised your identity is inexcusable.”
Tara piped in, “Mr. Varma, don’t forget that without this Christian woman, you might not have found that idol at all. The rules she broke and the photos she clicked showed us the hidden chambers. Why don’t you accept that fact for once?”
“These are the rules followed since many years. We can’t change them.”
“Why? Tell me what Jennifer’s mistake cost you and the temple? Give me one logical answer and I’ll agree with you.”
Sudheeran opened and closed his mouth.
Jennifer said, “Mr. Varma, every temple has a Garbhagriha where the main idol is placed. However your temple’s main idol is safeguarded inside the secret chamber. The Garbhagriha instead, houses a tiny idol of the Goddess made of Panchaloham (Metal compounds).”
“That is just for the satisfaction of the devotees. Devi resides in the secret chambers. If a devotee wants to pray, they can do so in front of the Garbhagriha.”
“There will be something else in the Garbhagriha, Mr. Varma. Some metal sheets with divine chakras and Shlokas. While building the place, they place these sheets on the point where the magnetic field is high. The deity made of metal or stone is placed above the sheets. The energy from the magnetic field is transferred to the deity and the same is emanated around the deity. When one takes a pradakshina or circumambulation, this energy gets transferred to the devotees. This is why people get energized in temples.”
All looked at her dumbfounded.
“The temperature is comparatively low inside the temple. The temple’s temperature is affected by our body temperature. People, before going to a temple, take a bath. This is to ensure that the heat from their body does not increase the temperature in the temple. This is the reason why women are prohibited from entering the premises during their menstrual cycle. The temperature in our body during those times are much higher. Taking a bath before going to a religious place is not strictly followed in other religions. This is one of the reasons why non hindus are prohibited from entering the temple.”
She looked at everyone.
“Mr. Varma, I am well aware of many of your customs and the reasons for the same. I am not saying that they are wrong. But they can be flexible. I mean, since I know the reasons for the prohibition, I ensure that I take a bath before entering a temple. Every single time! What more should I do? Why should the fact that my parents are Christians stop me from entering the temple?”
Varma looked at Ravi and then back at Jennifer, “I-I don’t know Jennifer.” He looked down.
“I really didn’t know.” He thought for a while and said, “You are right. I-You, just carry on with your covering the procession. Ravi, brief them.” And he walked off.
Tara had a feeling that no woman in his family had spoken to him in that manner. He was unable to accept women being smart and inquisitive. But this revelation by Jennifer about something that was supposed to be in his expertise had shaken him.
“Now that the idol has been found and things are all clear, the processions will be held in a week’s time. We had given a month’s notice to the villagers to buy time. But now, that is unnecessary. Memana Namboothiri here has fixed an auspicious hour for the procession.”
“Wait! What happened to Aryan uncle?” cyrus asked.
“Cyrus, he is Manu. An FIR has been filed. We’ll ensure that he gets the maximum punishment possible.”
“Ravi, what happened to the priest?” asked Jennifer.
“Manu had gone to meet the priest before kidnapping these two.” He pointed at Cyrus and Roohi.
“The priest had given us only half the information about the chambers to Cyrus. He feared that another theft might occur if the details about the chambers were published in a novel. Manu apparently got to know our moves and decided to shift the priest so that he doesn’t disclose the details about the secret chambers. In that manner, he could buy more time.”
Jennifer looked at Shekhar. He was the insider giving information unknowingly. It wasn’t me.
She felt guilty for doubting Cyrus.
“And the madman?”
“He vanished from the scene after that. I feel guilty I ill-treated him. Without him, we wouldn’t have saved the child or Amma.”
***A few days later***
The streets were teeming with devotees. The beautifully adorned elephants were making their way towards the temple pond. Roohi was giving a broad smile from atop the elephant. The auspicious idol was in her tiny hands.
The head priest, Shekhar and herself went down the pond stairs. She took the royal dip, bathe the idol and they all came back. Sudheeran had permitted for one of the child’s guardian to join the child. He had accepted the proposal the moment Shekhar had suggested it. Sudheeran watched the child walk up. He felt a sense of elation. He felt he was becoming a better man. Amma had her own way of teaching people. All we needed to have was faith.
Tara and Jennifer were busy doing what they love. Covering the news and photography respectively. They watched as the apple in their eye trotted up the stairs. Jennifer felt a strong bonding towards the child. This trip had given her a new family. Tara had become a sister she never had. So, automatically Roohi became her neice. She smiled.
Cyrus had a strange feeling of satisfaction. A case that he had his eyes upon was closed. And he was right. He sure did have his father’s talents and observation. His father had this knack of picking the right places and the right topics for his historical research. Everytime, he hit jackpot.
Not bad Cyrus!
He thought to himself.
Shekhar saw the madman amidst the crowdd and made his way towards him. He folded his hands and asked him, “O great one! Who are you?”
The madman smiled and said, “Bhranthan!” and walked away.
Shekhar realized there must be a deep meaning in what he had said. But unable to comprehend it, he didn’t think any further.
*****
After the procession the team left Vajrakshipuram. Cyrus had paid a final visit to the priest’s house. He gave his loyal translator some money and returned. Jennifer had apologized to Cyrus to have doubted him.
“I rang you up and told you that I kidnapped Roohi. It wasn’t your fault. Chuck the formalities!”, he had said smiling his boyish smile.
She smiled back, “Formalities and me? Hahaha! I was just looking for that genuineness in your voice. That was the first thing I liked about you. Your honesty. Don’t ever lose that. People rarely have that these days.”
“Listen! I need to get going. You must come home some time. My mother always tells me that she wanted to have a daughter too. She will love you.”
“Really? With my tattooes and piercings.”
“Ah! She is different. You’ll see. Just keep in touch and come home sometime. Alright? Bye Jen!”
She watched him leave. She bid farewell to The Duttas and promised to visit them too.
*****
In the flight, Shekhar looked at Tara for a while, “Tara!”
“Hm?”
“What if I hadn’t written that article when I was in Mumbai university?”
Tara’s eyes twinkled. She looked at him, “I love you Shekhar.” was all she could manage. She had no answers to his question that day.

Story continues..
“Cyrus, Are you sure you heard it right?”
Cyrus had called up Jennifer, first thing after he learnt about the priest’s son.
“Yes Jen! It seems snake bites were very common here during these times.”
“Well it’s true, he is dead. But we will not leave it at that. We need to hear it from the old man’s mouth. We want to know what happened in detail.”
“Ok I will talk to priest again.”
“Oh… No! You already went as a writer and it would cause suspicions. Whoever is behind this, shouldn’t know that you’re working with us. I will go.”
Jennifer decides to meet the team first and ask Sudheeran about the boy.
“Yes, but he died. What has that got to do with this?” Sudheeran spoke casually as though someone had commented on his shirt.
“If priest had a son who knew his way with metals, couldn’t he be a prospective suspect?”
“How can a dead boy be a suspect?”
“I don’t know. But I want to know more about him. I am going to meet the priest again.”
Ravi said, “I don’t think it is a good idea. If we keep visiting him, people might feel something fishy.”
Sudheeran said, “Priest is not going to tell you anything new. We all know
how he died. It must have been one year or so after the last procession. I don’t remember exactly when. The priest’s son went missing. All of us were concerned. After many days, he was found dead in the interior parts of the village. My father was active then. I remember the look on his face after he went to see the boy. “
He was now looking straight up at the wall as though the memory pained him, “He was half eaten by dogs and insects. Later we were told that he died of snake bite. He must have wandered off into the forest area. Poor thing.”
Jennifer knew there would be no use going to the priest’s now. What could a paralysed man say more about his son’s painful death?
“So, have we reached a dead end?”, Tara asked.
“That is not possible. There must be something. Some loose end. Let me take a break. You guys carry on. I really need some fresh air.”
“Jayalakshmi!”, it was Ravi.
“Yes?”
“Please don’t talk to the priest about this. He may not be able to handle it.”
“Don’t worry Officer. I won’t”, she smiled.
Jennifer was very upset. She reached her room, took a shower and opened her Laptop. She was immersed in thoughts about the priest and his son. What fate had befallen the poor man who served the Goddess for all these years? His wife died while giving birth to the boy. The priest got paralysed and his son died out of snake bite. Why do Gods punish the same people again & again?
She began going through the files, reports and photos of the last few processions.
Suddenly she had a revelation. She called up Cyrus. Picked up on the second ring,
“Hey Jen!”
“How did the priest get paralysed?”
He was flabbergasted by her sudden question.
“Er… Umm… I told you that.” He seemed amused.
“Yes. Tell me what the priest told you.”
“He said, he was about to give the idol to the child and he slipped and fell. Is everything alright?”, Cyrus asked.
“But the police report says that while he was giving the idol, he slipped and fell. Aren’t they two different things?”
“Ha Ha! You shouldn’t have been a photographer Jen. You should have taken up law. You do have a knack in manipulating words. I too thought of that. It could be used to prove a case in court. But in this case, we need conclusive evidence. He could have meant the same thing when he said ‘I was about to give’ and ‘I was giving’. Or, his memory could have failed him.”
Jenni: ” Or he could be faking?”
“I don’t write that possibility off. But we can’t count on that either. Especially using a sentence structure that he used 14 years back.”
“Cyrus, if he is faking, and we cross question him about the events that happened that day, at some point of time, he would get caught.”
“But police must have done that Jen. And it was about 14 years back. He is old and ill. He is bound to screw up things in this condition. Anyway, we’ll give it a try Jen.”
“Ok Cyrus. I’ll call you soon. Bye.”
Jennifer was in some kind of a spell. She has never investigated a case before. This was her first time and she felt that she was getting addicted to it. She poured through all the files, reading and looking at the snaps.

Jennifer read the reports.
The priest was found on the stairs… The child had drowned… The idol was found inside the pond…
The priest was giving the idol… Unconscious… Paralysed… She was walking down the pond stairs. She gave her laptop to Sudheeran Varma. The laptop had to be immersed in the water. She went into the pond. Sudheeran was giving her the laptop. She was about to take it from him, but something inside the water pulled her down. She was falling… falling… water… she was gasping for breath…
“Ah!” Jennifer got up.
“Damn! I need to get some sleep. Immersing laptop into water, my head!”
She closed her laptop and was about to get up. Suddenly, something
struck her. She opened her laptop and went through the snaps again.
“Bingo!”
She called up Cyrus.
“Jen! It is 3.15am.”
“If I want to know the time, I can check my watch Cyrus.”
“Very funny! What are you so happy about?”
“Answer this. You are standing on an elevated platform. You are giving something to someone who is standing a few steps below you, in water. You get dizzy. How would you fall?”
“It depends.”
“Elaborate!”
“If I’m falling forward, I’ll fall into the water. If I’m just sitting down, I’ll be on the stairs.”
“In short, you’ll either get fully wet or not get wet at all.”
“True.”
“Do you remember the photos in the report?”
“I will have to look-“.
“No time Cyrus. I’ll tell you. There is only one photo where the priest is seen. In that, he is only wet until his chest.”
Celebrate Blogging Contest #Chapter 4
Tara rang up & said she will be late and so, Shekhar & Roohi ate dinner and he tucked her into bed.
Since sleep eluded him, he decided to resume his novel from where he had left it.
It was 1 AM. Shekhar was working on a particularly difficult portion of his novel. He heard some sound in the next room. Probably he imagined it. He resumed his novel
Someone was watching him. Or maybe, there was more than one person watching him. The hair behind his neck stood on its end. There was definitely another presence around. He slowly turned & his heart skipped a bit.
‘What on earth are you doing standing there like that? You scared me!’
It was Roohi. She was holding her sleeping doll & standing in the doorway.
‘Papa, have you seen people worshiping snakes?’
‘Where did you get that from?’ ‘Answer me.’
‘No.’ ‘Have you seen snake idols?’
‘Roohi! Have you been reading my paperwork?’
‘Papa please tell me, I am curious. Have you seen the idols?’
‘No.’
‘Have you seen processions with elephants, drums & people dancing on the streets?’
‘That is enough. Now go to sleep Roohi.’
‘Why Papa?’
‘Because it is 1AM and you have school tomorrow. And stop reading my paperwork from now on. They aren’t meant for you.’
‘I did not read your paperwork.’
‘Then where did you get to know about processions, elephants & snake idols?’
‘My friend Meera is from Kerala. There is a temple that belongs to her ancestors. It seems the temple opens once in 7 years. They have processions. Elephants, music, people dance on the streets, ladies remove their hair & there is some sort of a dance form, there is a pond nearby. She talks a lot about the things they do back there. Papa they worship snakes & they have many snake idols.’
Shekhar looked at his daughter wide eyed. He sensed something unnatural about her. About the entire scene. They weren’t alone. Or was he hallucinating due to lack of sleep?
‘I haven’t seen any of those. If all your questions are answered, let us go & sleep.’
‘No papa. One last question.’
‘What now?’
She pouted her lips & with all her energy, asked pleadingly,
‘Papa the Goddess there comes alive it seems. Can we go to Kerala for the processions during this vacation? Meera has invited us. Please please please?’
Shekhar’s eyes widened. He was speechless. He picked up her daughter, took her to her room.
Shekhar’s eyes widened. He was speechless. He picked up her daughter, took her to her room.
‘Answer me papa. Please.’
His voice faulted.
‘Sleep Roohi. We’ll talk tomorrow.’
He never said ‘No’ to Roohi’s or Tara’s wishes. He lived for them & he loved fulfilling their dreams. But this one seemed wrong. He might be over-reacting. Or he might be right. He had no reason to say ‘No’ to Roohi’s this particular wish. But his guts screamed at him to stop things right there. The trip would be chaos. ‘
I’ll to your mom & let you know. For now you sleep. Alright?’
‘Alright Papa.’
She pulled his face close to hers and planted a kiss on his cheeks. He tucked her in and hastily walked into his study.
His hands were shivering. Beads of sweat formed on his brows as he fiddled with his novel. He frantically turned the pages back & forth. In his hurry, the book fell down. He finally, reached the page he was looking for.
It read…;
Holding his daughter’s lifeless body, Vimal remembered that fateful conversation he had with his daughter a few days back.
‘Achha, lets go to Lakshmi aunty’s house for this vacation.’
‘How come, this sudden craving for Lakshmi aunty’s house?’
‘Grandma was telling me stories about the procession at the temple there. I want to see the elephants, the procession, the deity with her diamond eyes.’
‘Your Grandma is the one spoiling you. You have to travel a lot to reach there Anu.’
‘Acha, please! I want to climb the mango trees, eat lots of mango, see the idols of the snakes, attend the Pooja and go for the procession. If we don’t go now, it will happen only after 7 years.’
Vimal didn’t say anything.
‘And you know something? Grandma says,that the deity comes alive. How will she look Achha?’
Anamika’s eyes widened in wonder as she said that.
‘Nonsense! The procession is good. But the deity does not come alive.’
‘Achha is always spoiling things. I will ask Amma.’
Anamika walks towards the door.
‘Ok wait. Let me talk with your Amma & we’ll decide.’
‘Thank you Acha!’
She planted a kiss on his cheeks and ran away.
If only Vimal had said ‘No’ to her that day, he wouldn’t have had to hold her limp lifeless body in his arms.
Shekhar looked up from his novel. A small creepy sensation in his guts told him, that he was writing their future.
