Mystery of The Jungle

Episode 2 The call of Adventure:

Previously in The Mystery of the Jungle, we saw Swara was convincing everyone for a trip to Whispering Woods. Meanwhile, in Whispering Woods, a strange voice made all the folks gather at the main point of the town. Local Resident 1 asked whispering nervously, "What happened? Did it happen again?" Local Resident 2 replied, "Didn't you hear? Another person went missing near Whispering Woods last night." Local Resident 1 said, "Oh no, who is it?" Local Resident 2 replied worried, "Our Raja's daughter. She is missing from last night." Local Resident 3 said, "They say it's the Guardian. He's protecting the temple, but at what cost?" Local Resident 3 said further fearfully, "I heard he doesn't let anyone near the temple. It's like he's protecting some dark secret." Local Resident 4 said shaking her head, "I told my daughter not to go near there, but she never listens." Other unison talking was continuing. Suddenly, they heard a voice yelling, near the riverside. Some people were calling other folks. "Come here, town residents." Everyone came running. They saw a lady crying and speaking, "Beta Munni, open your eyes. What will I say to you Father, when he comes back." Someone asked, "What happened?" Local Resident 5 said, "Our Raja's daughter, she.. she is no more." Everyone gets upset, "Oh no, may her soul rest in peace, but what will we say to Raja, he had asked us to keep an eye on his family." said the main leader of the town. Local Resident 1 said, "Mukhiyaji {Town leader], Let's do one thing, we should give last rites to daughter, otherwise her soul will not be free." Her mother said, "No, let's wait for Krishna's father." Mukhiya{Town leader} said, "Devi, we have to otherwise it will be wrong to her soul." Krishna's mother said, "Okay, but please let me perform her last rites." Everyone was shocked and looking at each other, but then Mukhiya said, "We can let you inside the graveyard but can't let you perform it, it's wrong according to our culture." Here, people performed the last rites of Raja's daughter and the other side, and everybody agreed to the trip. Swara, Anita, Ankita, and Avantika all girls went shopping. They all shopped for what they wanted and saw boys sitting in the cafeteria waiting for the girls to come. Aman said teasingly, "You know, Swara, women always take forever for everything. Whether it's shopping, cooking, getting ready, or making a decision." Swara said while rolling her eyes playfully, "Oh, please, Aman. It's called attention to detail. We like to make sure everything is just right." Aarav said grinning, "Attention to detail or just overthinking?" Ankita said in mock indignation, "Hey, we're just thorough in our approach to life. Can't rush perfection, you know." Adarsh chuckles, "Fair enough. But sometimes, a little spontaneity can be fun too." Avantika smirking, "Spontaneity? That's your department, Adarsh. We women just like to keep things interesting." Their banter continues, filled with playful jabs and good-natured teasing, highlighting the dynamic between everyone as friends who enjoy sparring with each other. Arnav had gone to give orders to everyone, when he came he heard Avantika talking about Spontaneity and immediately he commented on Aman. Arnav said with a mischievous glint in his eye, "Well, Aman, looks like even girls know you're as spontaneous as a snail on a Sunday morning." Swara and everyone were laughing at his comment but, Aman was giving him deadly looks. Here, In Whispering Woods, the story continue with Raja entering the town being happy that he has earned income more than last month and he and bought gifts and clothes for Krishna. Raja said, "Brother will you take me to Whispering Woods?" Carrier said, "Okay sir, you can sit that side." Raja sat and they left in further travelling Raja was happy and beaming with pride, "Today is a good day, my friend. I've earned more than last month's income. My Krishna will be thrilled with the gifts and clothes I bought for her." Carrier Man replied nodding in agreement, "That's wonderful news, sir. I'm sure she'll be over the moon." Raja replied chuckling, "Oh, you have no idea! She's been counting down the days until my return. Can't wait to see the smile on her face." Unbeknownst to Raja, the carrier man was new to town and unaware of the tragic news. He simply smiled and nodded along, not realizing that the little girl Raja was so excited to see had passed away just the week before. Carrier: "Sir, do you know a girl died near the small river? Locals are saying it's the Guardian who killed her for coming near the old temple." Raja gets alarmed, "What? Who was she?" Carrier: "I don't know, sir, but her dad is also like you, working outside the town. She was at least 13 years old." Raja said growing uneasy, "Faster, please. Let's get to my house quickly." The atmosphere in the carrier grew tense as Raja contemplated the implications of the carrier's words. He remained silent throughout the rest of the journey, his mind racing with worry and fear for his own daughter's safety. Here, Swara was on call with a taxi driver, " Taxi Center: "Hello, This is City Cab Taxi, how can I help you today?" Swara said,"Hi, I'd like to hire a taxi to visit Whispering Woods." Taxi Center: "Sure, ma'am. How many people are in your group, and for how many days do you plan to go?" Swara said,  "It's eight members in total. We're planning for a 3 days tour." Taxi Center said, "Got it. 3 days tour to Whispering Woods. I'll arrange for a taxi to pick you up. Could you please confirm the exact location and any specific time you'd like to leave?" Swara: "We'll be ready by 9 AM.  Here, this is the address. Please send the taxi to our location near Main Street." Taxi Center said, "Perfect, I have wrote it down. we'll have a taxi there by 9 AM. Is there anything else you need?" Swara said, "No, that should be all. Thank you!" Taxi Center: "You're welcome, ma'am. Have a great trip to Whispering Woods!" Swara: " Okay Thank you, bye!" Their conversation was efficient and to the point, ensuring Swara and her friends could enjoy their planned excursion to Whispering Woods without any hassle.
