Chapter 313 - Summoned

Ch312

"What do you want?" Esther asked finally.

Julie looked at her with a 'confident' gaze.

"I won't eat you," Esther added.

"Aadhira?"  Julie said suddenly.

"Huh?" Esther responded in shock.

"What?" Esther asked again to compose herself.

"What was that? Which language is that?" Esther asked again.

"I don't know… but I saw you," she said.

"Where?" Esther asked.

"In my dreams. You are wearing a red saree in it, Fighting like a warrior. I don't know why… something in my mind said that you are real. And asked me to search for you," Julie said.

"President, here are the revised sketches of your designs," Thomas said as he got inside suddenly.

Esther looked at him sharply for the thing he did.

"Sorry, President. I don't want to delay you," he said and placed them on the table.

Thomas felt that Esther was too scary today to the point that his bones might have burst out due to the chilliness.

In his fear, he dropped them on the floor. The sketches fell to the ground. Julie got up and started helping Thomas. But when her eyes fell on the particular sketch she recognized it instantly. She kept the things back in the files.

"Thank you, Miss," he said.

"You are welcome," she replied.

Thomas left the room escaping the hell of her cabin leaving the two people alone.

"Mrs. Vritra, You looked exactly like this sketch in my dream," Julie said.

"I got it. I don't think you are here to say this nonsense here,"  Esther said.

"I want to work for you," she said.

"What made you think that I will hire you?" Esther questioned her.

"I know… you are the queen of Vritra. And my family acted mean to bring up their death. I am lucky to be saved and not spotted by them. It's just that… I am never angry at your husband's deeds. He looks like a king above all. But… I don't know why… I feel like staying beside you. I feel like we both worked together for a long time. And I shouldn't lose the chance of working with you," Julie said.

"I want to surrender myself to Vritra's after talking to you today and kill myself. But my brain and heart are asking me to be with you," she said.

"I know I might sound stupid. But… still, I want to give my all of it to be with you," Julie said in a low voice clutching her skirt tightly as she looked down like a child who did something wrong.

Esther was shocked to hear Julie's words. Didn't Cyrus compel them all? How come she remembers everything? She doesn't know what to do for a second. But on second thought… keeping her with Esther would be a great thing.

"Get your resume and take the interview tomorrow. There are no shortcuts here," Esther said.

"You mean… I can work as long as I prove my abilities?" Julie asked in an excited tone.

Esther nodded her head.

"Thank you, Aadhira!" she yelled. Julie still didn't realize that she said those words. They came so naturally. Esther was struck dumb. She has questions! Dammit! But Julie cannot answer them. Then who will answer her? Shaking her head… she looked at the cheerful little lady Julie.

"President. It's President," Esther corrected.

"Sorry, President Benjamin," Julie said, biting her tongue.

"You may take your leave now," Esther said.

She nodded and was about to leave.

"Wait!" Esther said, making her stop in her moments all of a sudden.

"Mrs. Vritra," she called out.

"Mrs. Vritra is also good. Go on with this," Esther said, feeling proud of being Mrs. Vritra. Cyrus belonged to her. Aww… This way of calling reminded her about their relationship and they both belonged to each other. She was lost in a world where she even forgot to say what she wanted to say.

"Mrs. Vrita…" Julie called out loud pulling Esther from her dream world.

"Don't open your mouth about Kate's family incident if you want to live," Esther warned, coming back into her senses.

"Yes, Mrs. Vritra," Julie nodded, feeling scared. The way Esther looked at her made her feel like she was going to be killed at this second.

"Wait.." Esther called again.

"Why don't you go to your mother?" Esther asked.

"My mother's new husband doesn't want me. If I can get half of the shares of Kate's family… he wants me. If not I have to starve in that household.

"I know your question would be won't your mother take care of you? She won't. All she wants is money. If I am there… I won't be surprised she would sell me off in the name of marriage to someone. So… I don't want that. I would rather bear the insults of my stepmother, grandmother, and my half-sister. But I can't go there," Julie said looking down.

If it's normal times… she won't even bring up the topic. But she brought it up and said everything bottled up in her heart. She doesn't know why but she felt that there wouldn't be any loss saying to this person. She felt her heart was calm despite being scared of her presence. A strange feeling loomed in her heart. She was grateful that Esther turned her down. Esther asked her to speak with abilities if she wants to work. Yes! She can show them! She will work hard and show them to her!

"Get your sketches to show your designs," Esther reminded her.

[Is she afraid that I won't remember it? She is so kind!] Julie thought in her mind.

Feeling happy… she nodded her head and left the cabin.

Esther couldn't understand what's wrong with Julie Kate. Even Michelle couldn't remember anything. She was there with Esther for a longer time than Julie. Michelle never shared her dreams with her. Was she overthinking?

No! That should not be the case! Then why?

She couldn't understand a single thing! She needs a person to dump everything!

The first person who came into her mind was her husband!

She needs to call him and tell him these things. These things were too much for her to take in!

She leaned back on the chair and closed her eyes. She tried to travel into her mind space.

"RaudraMuki," she called out.

But no response came.

Closing her eyes for a split second before opening them. They turned red from the anger along with the irises. "I, AADHIRA KSTHRA, SUMMONS MY PARTIAL SPIRIT!!!" she roared. This time it's not her roar which reverberated… but her soul shook completely.

But little did Esther doesn't know that her order created havoc in Atlantis.

RaudraMuki, who was in heaven, felt her soul being dragged forcefully. She knew it… it's the summon of Esther. She furrowed her brows at her actions. Danger! This was the only thing that RaudraMuki felt. This may kill Aadhira. But what made her take this drastic step to summon her. She never summoned her like this. She doesn't even know that there was this kind of step to summon her. Even though she doesn't know. But how does she know?

Many questions filled RaudraMuki's brain. But before that… she needs to reach her… if not her other so… would create havoc in Atlantis.

She just let the force drag her into her mind space. She saw the unusual side of Esther. Then she knew there was something that's going on. She needs to know what's happening.

"Aadhira…" RaudraMuki called.

"Why?" Esther asked simply.

"What why?" Raudramuki asked.

"I know you have the power to read my thoughts. Then why don't you go through my memory and check what happened with Shikara?" Esther said.

Shikara?

Why was she here?

But how did Esther know the existence of Shikara?

Why are things speeding up?

She needs to know… Closing her… RaudraMuki chanted something. She spilled into the fine pieces of threads. Those threads spread through the whole brain of Esther's body like a spider net. They started sucking the energy from her brain or precisely the memories of Esther to know what was happening.

Esther closed her eyes, feeling a pain in her head slightly. She felt nothing but pain but soon turned numb.

RaudraMuki formed back into her soul form with a frown.

"She could not be compelled by your husband?" RaudraMuki asked.

"Nope!" Esther said.

"And she could see me in her dreams. How? Even Michelle couldn't see me in her dreams. I mean my true form, but how could she?" Esther asked with a frown.

"This is tricky. I will get to the bottom of this. Don't tell this to Bhairava till then. If I can't get answers I will tell you a way to get answers," RaudraMuki said to her.

"When will you return?" she asked.

"I don't know," Raudramuki said.

"I wonder what made you hide from me," Esther asked the words that were in her heart.

"Can I ask… how do you know that I will appear If I am summoned?" she asked.

"My instinct said to me," Esther replied. 

"Your instinct?" RaudraMuki repeated. These words were familiar. 

She needs answers for this... if not she would be doomed. But... why do things were happening now. Was there someone who was affecting her birth chart? If that's the case then....
