48. Killing Two Birds with One Stone

Being lovers was never part of Delisha's mission. So, whether she and Imdad can be together or not is never a problem. She just did not expect her reincarnation life and Imdad surprisingly exists, not the hallucinations from Devdas that she originally thought and that means as Mr. Takur said earlier, she was repeating the same cycle as her previous life. Death, murder, and betrayal will always overshadow their relationship.

"I'm sure one day you will come here and we can meet again. I want to see how the end of the relationship between you, Rajputana, and that former angel, Devdas," said Mr. Takur.

Delisha looked probingly at the old genie. "You know a lot about us in the past."

Mr. Takur grinned again. With large bulging eyes and coarse facial features, the face of the genie-type creature looked grim. "That's right, Chandni, you will be surprised what I know," he said.

"So you think I'll end up dying in vain again in this life?"

"It is certain if you stay with Rajputana. However, now that Devdas is a human, I am sure he will prevent that."

"Oh, so Devdas is now the savior of my life?"

"Hasn't it been like that long ago?"

Delisha silenced. Thinking of the many crimes that Devdas had done made it difficult for her to accept Devdas' kindness to her. Delisha cursed herself silently. Now she feels like a person who doesn't own anything in return.

Delisha massaged her forehead and looked around. Imdad still with the refugees. Hundreds of refugees began to walk together to the holding camp accompanied by officers. That's when she realized, hundreds of pairs of curious spirit's eyes were staring closely at her. Delisha gasped to see a glimpse of the spirits gathered into a black mist and darted towards her. The screeching sound of the creature deafened her ears.

"Aah!" cried Delisha while looking down and covering her ears. The spirits surrounded her like a whirlwind and shouted irregular words as if they were trying to talk to her. "Aah! Stop it! You guys bother me!" snapped Delisha. She tried to stand up but the spirit forces pushed her back against a tree.

"There is a bomb," said Mr. Takur to her. "They speak the Rhine language. They said there was a bomb on the body of a refugee."

Imdad felt that something was wrong, he turned to look for Delisha and saw the woman standing under a tree, panicked as if she was surrounded by wasps. Imdad hurriedly left the group of refugees and came to Delisha. He held Delisha's hand. "Jaan, are you okay?" he said.

Delisha stopped panicking, but her eyes were enlarged and her breathing was rapid. The ghosts had drifted away because Imdad was by his side. She was surprised to hear the explanation of Mr. Takur who was on the tree.

"Bomb!" exclaimed Delisha almost in a whisper, squeezing her head. "There is a bomb among the refugees!"

"What?" Imdad surprised.

"Which one?" Delisha said again, staring at the refugees.

The horde of ghosts that had surrounded her darted towards the refugees who were walking hand in hand and hovering in circles over the head of one of the refugees who covered his body with a thick robe and black hood.

Delisha opened the thick dupatta that was wrapped around her shoulder. She put a large black cloth around her head and wrapped it around her body to be a robe. Her face was covered with a dupatta veil and exposed only the eyes. She made her appearance similar to the women in the group of refugees. She hurriedly joined the crowd.

"De ... Marianne-Ji!" exclaimed Imdad muffled. He didn't know, but seeing that Delisha had plans of her own, he didn't want to disturb. He accompanied and kept a few meters from Delisha's position. Delisha nimbly sneaked among the refugees and saw her movement, Imdad knew Delisha was after someone. He immediately gave the code to Dieder and the other officers.

Behind the cloaked figure surrounded by ghosts, Delisha surveyed an aura. A man with a thin body but strong enough even though he walked looked weak and slow. The man walked while looking for a position close to the camp officials who were his target. The position of the bomb is on his chest and shoulders. A raven appearance with a black aura enveloped the man. The wick of his life is also bright, but short because he is going to die soon.

Delisha raised her right hand and poked the area of the man's neck so that he couldn't move, and her left hand poked at the waist so that the man's body stood upright. The man stood still in his position. Delisha held his body from behind. This caused a small commotion in the group of refugees.

Major Dieder ordered the refugees to calm down and continue their steps while being guarded by armed officers. On Imdad's orders, he escorted the refugees to the camp.

After the refugees left, four officers secured the man who was being held by Delisha. A Rhein man who appears to be in a terrorist network. The man is strapped in an upright standing position unable to move and speak. Only his eyes were moving madly. Underneath the man's robe is wearing a C4 bomb which can blow up an area of 100 square meters. The bomb was attached to a skin-like vest. The bomb was secured and wearing only his underwear, the man known as Janwar was dragged to the camp under close surveillance.

Delisha did not unlock Janwar's gesture because she thought that the man had a fairly great martial art. She and Imdad walked a few meters behind Janwar and the officers. Delisha was silent thinking about the disguise of the bomb in such a neat way and the size of the bomb that was not conspicuous made it easier for the bomb to be attached to the body. Such technology would be improbable for the home bomb builders or the terrorists who used to carry out the suicide bombing. More precisely it was technology for a well-trained and expensive undercover agent.

Imdad's embrace on her shoulder broke her reverie. "Still thinking how useless you are?" Imdad teased. "Look what you have done! You have saved hundreds of human lives. Imagine if the bomb exploded in a crowd."

"Ah, no, it's just ... I should have been able to see it from the start. Luckily the curious spirits told me before it was too late."

Imdad gave a short laugh. "Hahaha, so your informants have been ghosts?"

Delisha was embarrassed by herself. "Haha, yeah, it's ridiculous, right? In this sophisticated age, I still use witchcraft to work."

"Hmm, look on the fair side, they can be managed with and their work is quite efficient, right?" comfort Imdad. "I and other officers do not realize this, but you and your ability, able to solve it well. Jaan, you know? This makes me love you even more."

The two of them stopped walking and looked at each other. In the middle of the wilderness that was silent and only the occasional sound of insects and forest birds could be heard, Imdad looked closely and said to her, "Delisha-ji, let's get married!"

Delisha still couldn't answer it. "Imdad, I ...."

"I know now is not the right time. Besides, who wants to get married in the middle of the forest like this," said Imdad, hugging her shoulders again and walking hand in hand. "Later. When we return to the city, think carefully. Anyway, I'm ready whenever you're ready." He kissed Delisha gently on the temple and walked with her with a steady stride.

***

A dark night accompanied by a thin dew and cold air covered the refugee camp. In a private tent, Imdad and Delisha sat together at a table enjoying hot tea. Delisha was clad in a thick dupatta to lessen the coldness. An officer came to report to Imdad.

"Reported Commander, Janwar is still silent on who sent him and his purpose. We are waiting for further instructions."

Imdad seemed thoughtful. "Wait a minute, I'll be there," he said later.

"Ready!" exclaimed the officer, saluting, and left the tent.

Delisha looked calmly sipping tea. Imdad immediately finished his tea then stood up. "I'll go to see the man. If you're sleepy, go to sleep first, don't have to wait for me. Sooner or later, the bomb man will open his mouth to me." Imdad puts a dagger and gun on his waist. Suddenly, he snapped irritably. "I can't afford to imagine if the bomb went explode while you were by his side. Delisha, I'm sorry, I should have been more alert."

"I am coming along!" exclaimed Delisha as Imdad was in the doorway of the tent. "Are you sure?" asked Imdad. "After a day of using your chakra to examine people and deal with spirits, I know you need rest," Imdad reminded her.

"Oh, you know that?"

Imdad approached her again, sat down at the table, gently rubbing her cheek, "I just noticed it recently. When you touch those people, you send your energy into them, because of that they can feel the effect of healing quickly. On the other hand, you also use your energy to reverse someone's blood flow so that person can't move, as you did to Janwar.

"I used to practice chakra as part of the martial arts I studied, but I used it only for myself. Some people can develop the usage of chakra through practice, whereas you can use chakra naturally and without you knowing it. That's why you are able to see and hear invisible beings. Your spirit can even leave your body. Your abilities are actually at the highest level of chakra usage, it's just that you are so untrained that you don't know how to maximize it. "

Delisha was amazed at herself. She cupped her warm cheeks with both hands. "Waah, Imdad, am I that great??"

Imdad sneers at him. "Ah, don't get puffed up yet, Miss Delisha! I'm not done yet," he sneered. "You still need me to keep away the creatures that bother you, not to mention a kiss from me, can revive you from your suspended consciousness. So ... who is greater, hehehehee?" Imdad said arrogantly.

Delisha immediately frowned. Imdad beat her again! With clenched fists she smacked the table and stood up straight, shooting a glare at Imdad. Delisha was unable to scan Imdad's bloodstream nor the axes of his life but she did know the position of the vital veins in the body. She used her forefinger to poke Imdad's jugular vein.

"Ouch, ow, ow!" shrieked Imdad with one shoulder twisted in pain. His head tilted immovably. It was Delisha's turn to intimidate the man, "Take it!" she snapped in front of Imdad's face. "Ouch, jaan, please, jaan, don't do this to me ...." Imdad whined.

Delisha smirked at him. She could be even worse. "And since I need to rest using my chakra, so ... don't expect you can touch me tonight, Mr. Imdad!" threatens Delisha as she walks away from the sight of Imdad. The man is stunned by the threat of separation from the woman he loves. Imdad is overwhelmed. He shrieked anxiously, "Oh, no, no, no, mere jaan, don't do that ..." Delisha left him alone.

A few seconds later the pressure on Imdad's neck opened, the pain disappeared and he was able to move as usual. Imdad immediately pursued his lover. He was ready to kneel and plead in front of Delisha if only the woman was not in front of the cabin where Janwar was being held. The sound of intense punches and groans rang out from within the cabin. Without his instructions, no one could enter the room.

"Commander!" exclaimed the doorman, straightening up and saluting Imdad.

"Open the door!" Imdad said.

The cabin door opened and he entered the cabin with Delisha. Dieder wearing a T-shirt soaked with sweat and blood splatter, pressing Janwar's head against the table surface. Janwar's face was swollen with red and blue streaks, but a grin burst.

Janwar, a man in his 40s was tied to a chair. Major Dieder battered him to get information from the man's mouth. However, not a word was obtained from him. There was only a snort of hate and a laugh of disdain, making Dieder beat him even more, especially in the face.

According to Delisha's assessment of the man's body, Janwar did have a very good physique, his muscles were solid and perfectly formed, showing that he was not just anyone. The hundreds of strikes his body received had no significant effect on the man. If Delisha didn't lock his muscles, the officers would have a hard time handling the man.

Janwar snorted sarcastically as Imdad sat across from him. "Still don't want to talk?" Imdad grinned.

Head on the table, Janwar's eyes fixed on the woman who had come with Imdad. The woman who stopped the action to blow up the refugee camp and he knew her real identity. Delisha Lee Andrews.

Imdad noticed Janwar's eyes and he didn't like it. "Do you think your eyes can go around, heh, you bastard!"

Bruak !! Imdad slapped Janwar's face off the table and fresh blood came out of the man's nose. Janwar's broken nose made his nose tilted to one side.

Delisha only wanted to research the dark aura on Janwar while he was still alive. The man still looked like a crow with a black aura similar to the aura of the Golden Star Hotel employees. The dark aura on Janwar's body made him physically strong and not afraid to die. She suspects Star Corp.'s involvement. But her suspicions were still mere conjectures, so she kept it to herself.

She approached Janwar and wiped the blood running down the man's nose with his handkerchief. "If this guy can't provide useful information, there's no point in us holding him any longer. After all, he came here planning to blow himself up with a bomb, he really wants to die, let's accelerate it up," Delisha said meaningfully to Imdad. Janwar was happy to hear that. But only for a second. Delisha put her hands on the bottom of his jaw and shoulders, making Janwar's dark aura disappear.

Janwar's body curved in pain, breathless and his eyes flickered because his vision was dark. His mouth was gasping for air. Delisha will make him die of breathlessness and chest pain. "De-Delisha Lee Andrews ..." Janwar's husky voice was heard. "I came here because of that name. Delisha Lee Andrews. The daughter of July Andrews."

Delisha gasped, and so did Imdad. Janwar sat with his head tilted enduring pain and difficulty breathing, but seeing the change in the expression of the two people, he tried to smile happily. Delisha snarled inwardly at the man. Whoever knows that July Andrews has a child and her identity, only the people involved in the kidnapping of Xaverius Anthony Xin, namely the Xin family and the mastermind behind the kidnappers. Delisha froze.

"July has a daughter?" Imdad is flabbergasted. Stared incredulously at Janwar and then at Delisha. Seeing that the woman was silent, Imdad knew that Janwar's words had a special meaning for Delisha. If this Delisha in front of him was the Delisha that Janwar was referring to, assessing her age as coming from the future, Imdad felt that his world was turned upside down. One more secret that was unexpectedly revealed. He immediately ordered all his men in the room to leave, including Dieder. Only himself, Delisha, and Janwar remained in the cabin.

With teeth chattering in anger, Delisha opened up Janwar's bloodstream so that the man took a strong breath and was no longer in pain. After that Janwar lowered his head and a weak laugh came from the man.

Imdad wanted to hit Janwar in the face, but Delisha was preceded by pulling Janwar's head back so that it looked up and then punching his waist. "I won't waste my energy beating you up, Janwar!" Delisha growled in Janwar's ear. Shutting off the blood flow to his liver and kidneys would result in pain and slow death. Seeing Delisha being a sadist in a gentle manner, Imdad could not speak.

"Do you think that saying the name Delisha, we won't kill you? You're wrong. I'm giving you a little more time so you have a chance to say everything you know. Now it's up to you, do you want to die slowly or cooperate with us? " snapped Delisha.

"I was sent to kill you," said Janwar gasping, "you do look like that kid, he died 8 years ago. I'm sure because I killed her myself, even if she was alive she was at least 10 or 11 years old, it couldn't be as mature as you. It's ridiculous, I was ordered to kill just because of your name. "

"Oh, so you want to kill me?" muttered Delisha vaguely. Without realizing it, she released her grip on Janwar and turned away from the man. Now she wants to be killed again disguising as a suicide bomb blast? Mass death from a bomb explosion, not only one person who is threatened with death. Dieder and his troops, refugees, and Imdad can also become victims.

Just like the Anthony kidnapping case, with Little Delisha as an additional victim. Her death had apparently been structured in such a scheme.
