After seeing that figure, Arav froze in his place.
Arav realized that this was not just a dream — this was real.
Ishant said, "Rahul, where is the biggest forest in this state?"
Rahul replied, "I don't know exactly, but I can find it."
Ishant said, "Okay, go ahead. Yash and Arav, get ready for this."
After hours of research..
Rahul finally found the location, and they started their journey toward the forest. They reached the biggest forest, but before entering,
the rain had already begun. They were all standing in a huge open area.
Ishant said, "No one goes inside except Rahul, because this is his dream, not ours."
Yash replied, "I know you are trying to kill Rahul."
Ishant said, "No, understand what I am trying to do."
Arav added, "He is telling the truth."
Yash said, "How can I believe you?"
Ishant replied, "Okay, I will show you."
Then a boundary appeared around the forest. Ishant put just one finger inside the boundary.
Everyone was shocked — because when Ishant put his finger inside, it got cut immediately.
Yash said, "Okay, I will believe you now."
Rahul asked, "Why did you do that?"
Ishant replied, "It's okay. I can die for my team — this is nothing. But remember one thing: never stop in this forest Ok. If I tell you, we are all going to die here"..
Yash said, "Ishant, we know — don't repeat it again, please."
Ishant replied, "Okay… okay."
Now Rahul started going inside the forest. Yash was shocked because when Ishant did that, his finger got cut — but when Rahul went inside, he was completely safe.
Arav knew something was wrong. When he looked to his left, he saw a green glowing eye watching him from the trees.
Arav became curious about that creature. He followed it, and when he blinked, suddenly everything turned black. He tried to see his own hand, but he couldn't.
He didn't understand what was happening, but he was not panicking.
In reality,
Yash held his arm and calmly said to Ishant, "Where is Arav?"
After hearing this, Ishant said, "What the… we have to find him. If he died, we are all going to die here."
Yash said, "Okay, let's find him."
Just then, Ishant saw Arav standing at the farm. He ran and called Yash, "Arav is here!"
They both ran to him. When Yash looked at Arav's eyes, he said to Ishant, "Hey Ishant, is this normal?
"
When Ishant saw him, Arav's eyes were lime green and glowing — and he was also bleeding from his eyes.
Ishant said, "But that's not normal — his blood is green.We have to wake him up before it's too late."
Yash said, "Wait, I have a holy water bottle in my pocket."
Ishant said, "So you were waiting for your marriage?"
Yash sprayed holy water on Arav. His pupils became visible and he fell unconscious.
Yash felt relieved, but when he blinked, his eyes were now standing in a strange place.
He was standing at a station, but there was no one around. It felt like he had seen this station before. The sky was turning reddish.
He saw a man standing alone in a huge field. The field did not feel normal. He tried to call the man who was standing in the middle of the field.
Suddenly, he woke up and saw Ishant and Arav standing near him.
Arav said, "Oh God, you are okay!"
Yash smiled softly and said, "Don't worry, I am not going to die like this."
Now one thing was clear — they had to wait for Rahul.
It was almost 2 a.m. When they saw Rahul, he was walking continuously without stopping.
He was just following something.
After walking for one or two hours, Rahul saw an old hut that looked like the cave…
Rahul had already come to this place before,
outside the forest.
Ishant started telling them about de-zabu.
Ishant said,
"The thing that we saw in our dreams looks like a de-zabu, but it is not exactly de-zabu."
Inside the forest,
Rahul saw a cute baby. It looked very adorable. He tried to go near it. The baby was getting scared, but then Rahul said,
"Don't worry, I will not do anything to you."
When the baby heard this, its face started changing — just like the creature in Rahul's dream.
The baby began to grow longer, almost 9 feet tall. It became very skinny, its eyes became huge, and when it opened its mouth, it looked like a sharp teeth monster.
Suddenly, it ate Rahul's head and disappeared into the darkness.
Outside the forest,
Ishant and everyone else were getting tense. Everyone was silent because they did not know what happened to Rahul inside the forest.
