Chapter 25- Secrets And Plans

After Karma shared the news of him finding Aditya and Rohini's whereabouts with the villagers, he was adamant to move to the same place where his man had seen Aditya. He didn't care if it was going to cost him a full day. All he wanted was to find those people, and prove to the villagers he was still worthy of being a leader himself.

He hadn't gotten a ticket in the last elections, not because he was an ineligible candidate, but his dearest father had restricted him from engaging in any political activity for another five years.

This time, he was going to do everything in his power to be the next leader of Unnao. It would grant him all the powers, and he won't have to be secretive about his works.

It was still a year away, but a little preparation never killed anyone.

That's why he took off in his jeep with Faizal by his side to find more about the city boy.

Jagan- the mini Google, who was on the other side, had listened to every word Karma had shared with the villagers. He had waited for Amit's call, and then he had spilled everything to Amit. He had told him about Karma and how the latter had gotten the information about Aditya by his man.

He was being an informant to Amit for his own life.

On one of these days, Amit had seen him sneaking into Karma's farm to destroy it. He'd seen him take money for it. He'd seen him wiping his trace off of it, and he'd also seen him showing the fake sympathy to Karma, and had called it a mishap.

It wasn't lost on him that consequences of anyone finding out about his rendezvous for money would cost him his life. Especially if it reached Karma. Amit hadn't yet told anyone of it, and for that, Jagan was grateful. He just had to give the information Amit needed from time to time, and it was settled.

Karma was going in the direction of the same small village and was hopeful about his search. In reality, he was more focused on Amit than that filthy Dalit girl.

"When I got the last news, they'd managed to escape from the hotel, if I remember correctly," Karma asked Faizal.

Faizal had come back to the village on Karma's order from the search operation and was now driving his jeep.

"Yes, sir. After that we didn't get any useful information until now," Faizal replied, his eyes were focused on the road ahead.

"Hmm... and how far is the village from the hotel?"

"Sir, it's almost four hours away,"

"Then, why are you driving as if you are riding a bicycle, Faizal? Move fast!" Karma snapped at his man, and Faizal, being the slave of his master, obeyed without a word.

As they crossed Unnao's boundary, Karma nodded in Jagan's direction; he nodded back.

"Call me if you have any information!" Karma yelled over his shoulder while he zoomed past him.

Jagan yelled back, "Yeah, I will!" and they vanished from his sight.

Now all Jagan had to do was, wait for Amit's call to execute the plan.

After riding for half a day, they stopped in front of a tea shop for a small snack break in the hopes they would get some news.

Alas, they came up empty-handed.

When they resumed their search, the sun had vanished from the clear blue sky, and Karma knew, their search won't be effective at night. Still, he continued in the direction of the unknown village.
