Mystery of The Jungle

Episode : 7: unmasking Intentions

The next day, Swara and everybody woke up and cleaned their tent and folded their bedding. Suddenly, Avantika came onto Swara from behind and said, " So, Miss . Rosy, you wake up early. Not bad." Swara said, " Hey, don't call me that. And, yes, I always wake up early." Swara said further, " Hey, now let's go. They might be waiting for us." Avantika said, " Yes, let's go." Swara and Avantika sent outside, and they saw everyone were waiting for them. Swara asked, " Has everyone come, then let's go..." She gets confused that an unknown man was standing instead of Taxi Driver, Ramesh. She asked, "Who is he?" Aman said, "Hey! Good morning, Oh..  he? His is Ramesh's brother, Sumesh. Ramesh had to go somewhere, so he had come." Swara said, "Oh.. okay, nice." Suddenly, swara noticed Sumesh was staring at her. She felt a little awkward, but no one noticed this. Then Aman slowly spoke to Aarnav, "Hey, we have to speak with Swara, right?" Aarnav said, "Yes." Aman said, "Hey, Swara. Before we leave for hiking activity, can we have a conversation?" Swara said, "Yaa sure. Let's go." They all went a little far. Anita saw them leaving, so she followed them and hid behind a trunk. Armaan reflectively, "You know, Swara, we were all so quick to jump to conclusions and react impulsively. We shouldn't have let our emotions get the better of us." Aman nodding, "Absolutely. We need to work on keeping our emotions in check and communicating better." Swara replied, agreeing to them, "Yes, you're right. We can't let our feelings dictate our actions. We need to be more mindful and understanding." Armaan: determined, "From now on, let's make a conscious effort to keep an eye on our emotions and respond thoughtfully, not impulsively." Aman supportively said, "We're in this together, guys. We can do better." Swara smiling, "Exactly. Let's learn from our mistakes and move forward." Anita, still hiding, overhears their conversation and feels a pang of regret for her own jealous behavior. Anita thinking to herself, "They're right. I need to work on my own emotions and reactions. I don't want to be the one causing tension in our group..." Anita felt that she should leave before they caught her. While returning, she saw Ankita. Anita said, approaching Ankita, "Hey, Ankita! Can I talk to you for a minute?" Ankita got curious, "Sure, what's up?" Anita said, hesitant, "I need some advice. I want to know how to...woo Aman. But patiently, not like yesterday's mess." Ankita laughing, "Well, Anita, I think you already have Aman's attention. But if you want to know how to win his heart, I'd say start by being your wonderful self!" Anita gets eager, "But how do I do that? I feel like I always end up saying or doing the wrong thing!" Ankita replied encouragingly, "Just be genuine, Anita. Show Aman your kind and caring side. And most importantly, take your time. Don't rush things. Let him see the real you, and I'm sure he'll be smitten!" Anita gratefully, "Thanks, Ankita! You're a lifesaver! I'll try my best to follow your advice." Ankita smiling, "Anytime, Anita. Now go out there and win Aman's heart...patiently!"
Now, everyone gathered to their meeting point and left for hiking. While hiking the first phase. Avantika felt that somewhat or other around. These three were in stress. So, to lessen their stress, she asked Swara. Avantika asked as she was curious, "Hey Swara, can I ask you something?" Swara replied friendly, "Of course, what's up?" Avantika asked, being thoughtful, "If you have feelings for two boys, and you can't focus on who to confess to...what do you do?" Swara replied, as she was hesitant, "Well, that's a tough one... I'm not sure." Avantika said, smiling, "I think I can help you out, Swara. You see, when you're torn between two people, it's like being at a crossroads. You need to take a step back, breathe, and listen to your heart. Which path feels more like home?" Swara replied, as she was understanding, "Ah, I see what you mean! It's like, which one do I feel more comfortable and happy with?" Avantika said, nodding, "Exactly! And remember, Swara, your heart always knows the way. Trust it, and you'll find your answer." Swara smiles, looking thoughtful, as if she's starting to figure out her feelings. Swara replied, being grateful, "Thanks, Avantika! You always know just what to say to help me out!" Avantika said, laughing, "Anytime, Swara! Now let's keep hiking and enjoy this beautiful scenery!" Finally, they reached on the top of the mountain, suddenly, Suresh said excitedly, "Welcome, everyone! We've reached the top! This is a special place where the winds whispers secrets to those who dare to listen." Swara gets curious, "What do you mean?" Suresh replied mysteriously, "Here, you can call out your name, and the other side will respond with the name of the one you love and who loves you back." Aman being skeptical."That's just a myth, right?" Suresh smiling, "Try it, and see for yourself." Avantika takes a deep breath and calls out her name. Avantika loudly, "Avantika!" A faint voice responds from the other side. Voice echoing, "Aadarsh!" Avantika's eyes light up with joy. Aadarsh gets surprised and blushes while looking at Avantika. Avantika gets excited, "Oh my god, it's true!" Swara looks hesitant, then calls out her name. Swara nervously, "Swara!"
The voice responds again. Voice echoing, "Arnav!" Swara's face lights up with surprise and happiness that she can now consider thoroughly. Swara smiling, "I can't believe it!" Arnav was shocked and blushing, whereas Aman was having mixed emotions. He was feeling jealous and happy.  Anita tries this time, and she yells, " Anita!" The voice again responds," Aman!" Everyone was shocked. Aman also felt shocked and surprised. The group continued, each one calling out their name and receiving a response. Suresh smiling, "You see, the wind knows the secrets of the heart. And now, you all know the truth." Swara and others agree. Everyone was busy admiring the view, and here, Swara was lost in thought, "Why is this happening to me? Aman and Arnav, both fighting for my love and attention...and now, Anita is getting close to Aman...it's all so confusing..." Swara's thoughts are racing, like a movie playing in her mind. Swara abruptly yelled,  "I love you, Arnav!" Everyone is shocked, and Arnav's eyes widen in surprise. Arnav gets stunned, "Sw...Swara?" Arnav's eyes roll back, and he falls unconscious to the ground. Aman rushing to Arnav's side, "Arnav! Oh no, what have you done, Swara?" Swara gets horrified, "Oh no, I didn't mean to...I don't know what came over me!" Avantika shocked, "Swara, what's going on? Why did you say that?" Swara tearfully, "I don't know...I was just thinking about everything, and it all got so confusing...and then... and then I just blurted it out..." Anita smirking, "Well, I guess that settles it. Arnav is the one you truly love, Swara." Swara looks at Anita, feeling a mix of emotions: guilt, shame, and confusion. Swara defeated, "I...I don't know what to say..." The group is in shock, unsure of what to do next.
