Prey of a Predator

Chapter 1

It's the evening time in Mumbai, people are returning to their home from their jobs, birds are returning to their nests.
Sun is slowly going down in order to shine on the other side of the earth. Children are playing and running on the grounds.

Winds are blowing and so the dry leaves of the trees. And there in a room of pastel lilac colour, a girl with long dark brown hair, brown eyes is sitting on her bed talking to someone.

"Hehehe"
Her laugh is as sweet as nectar and her looks as good as an angel. She is wearing a baby pink anarkali suit and while playing with her duppata, she is talking with someone on phone.

"Haa, to deal pakki maanu? Tu tayaar to h na? Pta chala wahan jaake pant na geeli ho jaaye. Hehe." (Ok, so should I consider the deal as done? You are ready right? God knows if you will wet your pants there. Hehe.)
I asked him because I know he get scared almost quickly and I am sure he will again get scared this time too.

Hello there, my name is Inaaya Sharma. I just completed my college about 1 week ago. Now I wanted to explore some new places because I am obsessed with traveling and I am lucky that I easily get permission from my parents to do so. This time we decided to explore an abondoned palace which is situated in Udaipur which was used by Britishers in the 1870s and after Britishers left, that place was used by no one and now people are scared to go there but I, and my curiosity gets the best of me. I want to explore that place and somehow I convinced my coward friend also. Rithesh and I are going so now we were discussing the date and timings.

I said him ok confirmed and cut the call. Ok Inaaya now you have to pack your bags as you have to leave in 3 days. Just then mumma(mother) called my name and I went to her.

"Yes mumma, you called me." I said when she came towards me and placed a Gulab Jamun in my mouth. Before I could understand anything she said that my cousin got the first place in her class, she and her mother came to tell her and gave the sweets to her.
I, when my mouth was empty, went to her and congratulated her. Then all four of us were talking the whole evening and around 8'o clock they left. We were just cleaning the dishes when father came home from work and we greeted and he went to freshen up. I decided to tell them about the trip in the dinner time.
I went to my room after washing the dishes and started packing my bags.

2 hours later

Finally my bags are all set to go. I picked my outfit to wear for when we will be leaving. I then went to have dinner and when I sat on my chair, I told my father everything. Mumma was serving dishes when she heard me. Father agreed almost quickly but my mumma was hesitant. I requested mumma," my dear mumma, please jaane do na, main pakka 1 week me aajaaungi. Aap to jaante ho na ki mujhe ghumna kitna pasand h, to please jaane do."(My dear mother, please let me go na, I will take care of myself and will return within 1 week. You know how much I love to explore so please mumma let me go.)  She replied," Main jaanti hoon, pair kahin aajtak tike hai ek jagah. Thik hai, ja par khud ka khayal rakhna samjhi?"(I know, you can't sit in one place. Alright go, you have to take care of yourself, got it?)  I happily screamed and started dancing when mumma scolded me to sit and eat dinner meanwhile father was just looking at me and smiling. We all talked a bit and ate dinner. Then I went to sleep wishing that my trip will be enjoyable. Without knowing what is there in my destiny and in that mansion for me.

On the day of trip

I walked out of my house with my luggage and was just talking with my parents when a car horned in front of my front gate. And there he is, my best friend, my partner in crime, Ritesh. I opened the gate and he came out of his car, smiling. He touched the feet of my parents and they blessed him then he took my luggage to keep it in his car. I hugged my parents and they told to take care of myself for like 99th time already, anyways, I assured them and waved then bye and sat in his car. Now my journey is starting towards that abandoned mansion.

I am coming to explore you, dear Britishers mansion.

God give me strength to face the problems in future.
