The truth struck Arjan like a bullet: his brother had never left. He had hidden in plain sight, inside the very system built to stop him. And every marigold petal was a taunt—a message only Arjan was meant to read.

Arjan knelt. The victim’s nails were clean, no defensive wounds. She had known her killer. She had even trusted him. That was the third woman this month, all found in old industrial ruins across Punjab, all with the same peculiar detail: a single marigold petal tucked under their tongue.

“You told me he died in a car accident.”

Arjan slid a worn photograph across the table—a group of six friends at a wedding in 1998. His late wife, Harpreet, stood second from left, smiling. Beside her: a man whose face had been scratched out.

But Arjan shook his head slowly. “No, beta. We need to bury him. Properly this time.”

That night, Arjan visited his estranged daughter, Meher, a forensic psychologist. She hadn’t spoken to him since her mother’s unsolved disappearance five years ago—another case where the only clue was a marigold petal.

“Fer mamlaa gadbad hai, sir,” whispered constable Tarsem, wiping rain off his brow. The monsoon had turned the abandoned textile mill into a muddy crypt. Inside, a woman lay strangled with her own dupatta—her face frozen in an expression not of fear, but of recognition.

“Your uncle. My younger brother. Baldev.”

Then Meher did something unexpected. She smiled—a cold, sharp smile. “Fer mamlaa gadbad hai, Papa,” she said. “Because Baldev didn’t die in 2014. I saw him last week. At the forensic lab. He’s working as a senior technician. Under a fake name.”

“He did,” Arjan said. “In 2014. But before that, he was something else. A cult leader. They believed marigolds were the ‘tongues of the dead’—that placing a petal on a victim’s tongue would let the deceased speak through them at the next full moon.”
