Muna, a young, fearful nephew, and Ashok, Muna’s uncle, seek shelter from the rain in an abandoned hut as their boar hunt temporarily pauses. Ashok, sensing Muna's fear, uses a boar hunt metaphor to mo Muna, a young, fearful nephew, and Ashok, Muna’s uncle, seek shelter from the rain in an abandoned hut as their boar hunt temporarily pauses. Ashok, sensing Muna's fear, uses a boar hunt metaphor to mock his nephew's cowardice. He spins a tale of how fear attracts danger, comparing the boar's panic to death. As they resume their journey, Ashok recounts the chilling village folklore of Rabandhara, the local deity, which claims two lives at the end of the monsoon. Muna dismisses it as superstition, but the legend solidifies in his mind as Ashok recalls past events. Now panicked, Muna confesses to his uncle, to which Ashok despises Muna’s cowardice. He recalls how her mother was also a coward, who succumbed to death at the hands of his drunk and abusive father. This ignites a simmering anger within Muna, already tense from the hunt. Deep within the jungle, their argument escalates. Ashok's constant digs at Muna's perceived weakness erupt into a heated debate, then a violent struggle. In a moment of blind rage, Muna grabs his hunting knife and slashes Ashok's throat. Panic sets in as Muna realises the gravity of his actions. He flees, haunted by both the crime and the chilling echoes of Rabandhara's legend. The once peaceful creek now flows with Ashok's blood. Driven by fear and paranoia, Muna stumbles onto the pebbles and rocks within the flowing water fall bed and faces a morbid twist of fate. The legend, initially dismissed, becomes his reality as he dies in the bloodstained mud, the second life claimed by Rabandhara, or perhaps by his demons. Read More Read Less
