Not just a mother after sunday (chapter-4)

The next morning I finished my work and prepared to go with hiyanshi. It has been three years since I saw heena. "I am so eager to meet her but all the things those two said, if that's true then I'm more worried about my family than fixing the issue of the past". Two brothers came early in the morning with horses for the ride. "I see you are ready to go" braun said. "Yeah she will need me". We started our journey. "How did you know where heena is living?". "We have many friends and the power she has is really unique so words travel fast" shiki said. "Where is she?". "She is living on a small mountain. Out of fear peoples don't go there. We will reach there tomorrow evening" shiki said. I was sitting behind shiki with hiyanshi and he was riding the horse. "We have to find a place for tonight. Its not wise to travel at that time" braun said. We saw a river and decided to stay at the bank during the night. Shiki was really tired so he went to sleep. Braun and I started talking. "You said yesterday that your mother is the reason you are doing this, so what happened?". "When I saw my mother for first time that I remember she already had wrinkles on her body. Then we come to know that she was ageing faster than normal. When we were just eight she was in her death bed. We couldn't do anything to save her. After sometime our father told us everything about the past. When we heard about your wife, we decided that we will do everything we can to destroy this curse" braun said. "I'm so sorry about your mother. That must have really hard". He remained silent for sometime. "Let's get some rest, tomorrow we will meet the sun" braun said. "Ok good night". Next afternoon we stopped because horses were hungry. "I have a question. Do you know how to find the devil?". "We know the ritual to summon him into this world. When he will show up your wife has to fight and burn him" shiki said. "It seems very simple. Isn't he supposed to be powerful and full of tricks?". "We have to support her in every way to win this" braun said. Finally we reached the mountain. There were many burning marks. We climbed to the top and we saw an open area where ashes were blocking the twilight sun. We searched the surrounding area and found that heena was sleeping under a tree. It brought tears in my eyes. Her clothes were in bad condition. Some bruises on her body and she couldn't even build a small house because of the curse. She woke up and saw us. She was surprised and happy. She was just stared at hiyanshi for sometime and she was aboutto cry. "Why are you here? I told you not to search for me. All this time I tried but couldn't control it. Please dear you have to stay away" heena said. "Please listen what these two have to say. Its really important for you and our daughter". We walked towards her. Two brothers introduced themselves and said everything to her. "If this can ensure safety of my child then I'm ready to fight" heena said. "Alright then we will start the ritual now. It will take some time so wait a little longer" braun said. She was controlling herself not to touch any of us specially her child. But hiyanshi walked towards her and when she saw her daughter so close she started crying and hugged her. Suddenly she coughed blood and she was about to collapse. I was shocked and ran to hold her and saw that a thick piece of wood had pierced her heart. "Help braun, shiki help. We need to take her to a doctor". I carefully took out that wood. They both came in a hurry. "Heena don't worry you wi--" she stopped me. "no dear, I can feel I'm... dying. I'm sorry I...couldn't fight...for our baby. I...love you both...so much" she said. "No don't say that. You made me a father I'm forever grateful to you. Hey you two, help me take her to a doctor hurry please we need to save her". Hiyanshi stood up suddenly and her voice was weird. "Do you know the most exciting thing in the world? Its playing with feelings and idiotic emotions of you humans. Why should I even fight fairly with someone who has the power to kill me? Now my will is absolute" devil possessed hiyanshi said. She lost consciousness after that and heena was in my arms. I was screaming and crying a lot. "There is no reason for living now. We lost everything" braun said.
