The Deadliest Pandemic!

CORNEA VIRUS

Location: Sakra, A Remote town in India

Kumar (24 years) just returned from his Paddy field following a lot of difficult work. However, nobody appeared to be at home, as Kumar looked exceptionally Torpid and wiped out. Feeling extremely parched as he was, searching for a glass of water, he asked Jai (29 years), one of his four senior siblings the whereabouts of their dad. Jai didn't give a lot of consideration to his question and proceeded with his best job (watching a movie on T.V) as Kumar gradually tracked down some water to quench his thirst.

Evening time 08:30 p.m, their father Raghu (65 years) appeared. Not surprisingly, he was plastered and not into his detects. Kumar attempted to assist his dad with an old seat to sit upon, yet Raghu would not sit on it and kicked off the chair to the side and began crying loudly. It took about 30 mins. for Kumar to pacify and settle him down.

Kumar figured out how to prepare some nourishment for their Dinner yet he was not feeling great since morning and was entirely worn out, to the point that he nodded off quickly. Alcoholic Raghu continued hollering and yelling for the duration of the night, Jai who had corpulence issues was wheezing resoundingly like the thunder of a Lion the entire night while two of their siblings Saka (33 years) and Monu (36 years) were away to a close-by city to track down some work.

The following morning, Kumar woke up to an upsetting noisy sound of an impact, his heart was siphoning in dread yet very soon he realized that it was only his sibling Jai breaking wind in his profound Hibernation. Kumar was sick but somehow, he stood up and saw his dad preparing something for their morning meal. Normally, it is him or his dad who cook the food but the latter being a regular boozer it is Kumar who does the cooking position for their family.

Around early afternoon an old man named Sadhu visits their home and gets into some genuine conversation with Raghu. Sadhu illuminates Raghu that Kumar will most likely be unable to get back his vision in his left eye because of the absence of special treatment. At this point, it gets uncovered that Kumar has a huge issue with his left eye vision and it implies that he is purblind. Kumar is visually impaired in one eye and can't see with both of his eyes. Even though Kumar doesn't wear any eye-fix however, his deficient eye always stays shut constantly. Raghu calls out for Kumar so that the elderly person Sadhu who is a self-proclaimed Guru of the purported mysterious and otherworldly components could investigate upon his eyes, one last time before recommending any sort of treatment. Then again, Kumar is now headed to their Paddy field-work so he makes a trip and a discussion strikes among them.

As per Sadhu the best way to get back his lost vision would be by performing multi weeks of constant love of the purported Goddess of the Dark Jungle. However, to perform such a troublesome undertaking he should remain with them for the following seven days and required some cash alongside some wine as well. Yet, here is the catch, they all need to visit the Dark Jungle during the nighttime to perform and partake in the custom essentially because they would summon the Goddess of the Jungle. Raghu concurs and says that he cherishes his child Kumar more than any other person on this planet and once, Kumar gets his vision back, he will surely get him hitched by welcoming the whole town. They all consent to begin the custom and visit the Jungle. However, only once the leftover two senior siblings of Kumar are back from the city.

Suddenly, someone sobs for help and the cry is absolutely noisy, to the point that each of the three are frightened to death briefly or so and afterwards, there is a lethal quietness... briefly before the quiet gets upset by one..... (TO BE CONTINUED)...
