That place on earth with you

Heather

He pointed to the jungle. She did as he said.. There is no way she is getting into her car as she know her break is not working. After walking some for few minutes she came back to the locality. She was wondering how she reached here so fast.

She didn't really know where to go... So she asked someone

Sadia :- Excuse me... Do you know who is maya?

???:- Oh maya.. That house

That person pointed at a house... It's the biggest house in the locality... Looks like whoever this maye is.. She is kind of rich.. She went near the house and knocked ..
An orderly women opened the door

That women :- What do you want child?

Sadia :- Do you know who is maya?

That women :- I'm maya... Why?

Sadia :- Mr xiao zhan send me here... He told me to come here

Maya :- Oh I see!

Maya quickly opened the door wide opened. Welcoming her warmly

Sadia :- Thank you so much

Maya :- He is really something haha

Sadia :- Do you know him?

Maya :- My mom used to talk about him.... And told me if someone takes his name let them enter

Sadia walked in and looked around. Looks like maya is really a wise women there are book shelves full of books about knowledge, science and theories .

Sadia :- Can I ask you something?

Maya :- Sure

Sadia :- What's happening with that mansion over there?

Maya :- I don't know much about it.. but, that placed is cursed

Sadia :- Do you know anything about xiao zhan?

Maya :- My mom used to visit him everyday when she was young.. He was like a guardian to her

Sadia's pov
What zhan said earlier makes little sense now... But still.. where is the logic?

Sadia :- So do you know anything about his family or something

Maya :- As my mom told me....zhan is a royal blood but he left his everything and came here to live in peace

Sadia :- Anything about his family?

Maya :- He was married with a women... A really wise women

Sadia :- What happened to his family?

Maya :- She died, as my mom told me... But it is said after she dies people of the whole village faced arson attack

Her heart stopped for a second hearing all of these... The more she learns the painful the history of that mansion becomes

Sadia :- Why people don't live there now?

Maya :- They tried to but couldn't... No one dares to go near to that

Sadia :- But... I just came from there

Maya was a little scared to hear that. But she is not much shocked either. Nothing really surprise her now

Sadia :- Hey?

Maya :- Come.. I'll show you the bedroom

Sadia :- Okay

After the dinner she was lying in her bed. Lost in some thoughts.

Sadia's pov
What if It's all just a dream? Will I wake up any second? Will all of these become a weak memory of mine?

Why she is feeling bad about the stuff happened century ago?

*Time skip to morning *

She is again in that mansion. It's morning right now. She got inside and looked around . zhan was standing in the living room looking at a painting on the wall

Sadia :- Hey Mr

Hearing her voice zhan looked at her

Zhan :- Hey.. How maya treated you?

Sadia :- She is a really kind person

Zhan :- Yeah.. I know

She stood beside him looking at the painting.. It was a painting called "The moon".

Sadia :- Zhan... Can you tell me more about this place... You know something I guess.. . Since you are living here

Zhan :- Sure

Sadia turned on her recorder

Her pov

At least he is willing to tell me something... Maya is a really wise women but still she don't have much information about this place.. Maybe he knows something

Sadia :- So who made this place?

Zhan :- I made this place

Sadia :- When?

Zhan :- More than a century ago

Sadia :- What happened around here? Do you know anything about that arson attack?

Zhan :- I did that

He said and winked at her

Sadia :- You?! Why you did that?

A vision came in zhan's mind again. He time lapped to that muddy path

He is standing there.. He can see people running around to save there life, home or a loved one. But he stands still like there is nothing for him to protect. That whole village lighted up by fire in the middle of the night. He looks happy, It's the most beautiful thing he ever witnessed. It put a smile on his face... He starts to laugh like a maniac

"Hey Mr zhan? " hearing her voice he came back to the present

Zhan :- Yeah?

Sadia :- Why were you laughing?

Zhan :- I was?

Sadia :- Yeah

Zhan:- Just a funny memory came to my mind

He looks a little embarrassed

Sadia :- Oh I see

Zhan :- It's full moon tonight

Zhan said looking at the painting

Sadia :- It is?

Zhan :- Yeah... But for now.. thunderstorm!

She didn't noticed much about the weather. But as he said that she heard a thunder. She got scared as it was really loud and sudden

Zhan noticed that she is scared. He came close to her and hugged her "Thunderstorms are as much our friend as sunshine " he whispered into her ear

She was thunderstruck by that. She never touched him before but his whole body feels really cold.. Like a dead person.. But her heart feels warm between his arms... She was a little scared wondering what's wrong with him...but she don't want to push him away
