I got teleported to another place! It was an ancient kingdom! A palace stood in front of me with it's whole pride and beauty! Soldiers guarding the palace. People moving from place to place with ancient dresses like kurta's and sarees. I was mesmerized by the beauty of this place. I enjoyed the scene to it's fullest.
I said to myself,
"Wow! This palace is amazing. So many people..."
I then gave my cheek a light pat to get my attention back. I said again,
"Suzanne, focus on your goal."
Until then, I noticed. When I left the house, the time was 2:30 am. And here, I see the sun shining in the sky?
"Wait!... How is it daytime?!!..." I scream in shock.
Before I got a chance to think anymore, my chain of thoughts were broken as I felt a wind passed me.
Within a split second, I felt the warmth of human skin in my left fist. The warm hand held my cold fist tight and continued running, making me feel like I'm almost flying.
I looked back to realize that some soldiers were following us like they wanted to catch a thief.
I found myself running with a stranger because soldiers followed us.
The running person turns back for a second and I see a face of a man that is covered with a mask. His light brown eyes staring into my soul.
In these few seconds that I've reached this place, my brain hasn't processed anything that was happening around me.
Like, why I'm I here?
Why did the sun shine on me when it is not supposed to?
And why I'm I running with a stranger? That too A MAN??
We went from side of a bullock and stopped at a safe place. I saw the soldiers going in another direction.
Panting, I asked him,
"Who in this damned hell are you? And why did you get me here?"
He removed the cloth that covered his face, and I see an handsome face with his mouth slightly open, trying his best to breathe.
And the first thing I hear him saying in hindi was,
"Well you don't need to flaunt your fluent English here."
I ignore his looks and continue in Hindi,
"Who are you? Why you brought me here?"
"Can you mind asking me one question at once? As you can see I'm trying my best to gain oxygen for my body."
His words were formal, but his tone irritated me.
"Are you an idiot? Well no, that's rude. I should rephrase it.
What kind of an idiot are you?"
"For your information I'm not an idiot, I'm Sahil."
"Ugh! Okay. Why have you brought me here?"
He acted like he was thinking something.
I said to myself,
"Now I feel I should've brought Sasha with me. She would've handled him."
"You, hate boys?" He asked with the tone of an investigation officer.
"Wow, that's the first thing that I appreciate about you after I met you. You understood my thoughts.
Thanks for the cooperation, BYE!"
"Hey foreigner, don't forget, soldiers are behind us. They won't leave you."
I stopped.
"I don't want to know anything. Just tell me why have you brought me here."
"You have come though that teleport, right?"
"Teleport? Umm... Maybe yeah."
"This teleport has taken us about several years before time. Even I had come here out of curiosity. And now I can't find the way out. I'm stuck here since 1 week. Our destination is the underground tunnel, where you'll get the fruit of your hard work and curiosity."
"Oh... No! What hardwork? What curiosity? No no, I want to get out of here."
"Your time for hardwork will begin tomorrow."
"Were you even listening to what I said? And, are you my Mom, that I will tail you?"
"I can't even be your mom. So noisy."
"Oh shut up!"
"You'll have to listen all this. Do you have any other option? And although, you have taken the risk to come with me. So now, TRUST ME?"
He made his right hand forward.
I already didn't like boys, and his behaviour irritated me more.
"Oh please! Your not my boyfriend that I'd elope with you. You have brought me here."
I took a pause. And replied sarcastically,
"But, I've no option. So, YES."
I followed him. On the way I asked him the reason for the soldiers coming behind us. The reason was our different clothing and our masks. The soldiers wanted us to be presented to the king.
"King?", I asked.
He said, "Yes, no ministers exist here. The king only is the highest post here."
I replied, "See, our old cultures and traditions, so amazing."
He joined his hands and said sarcastically, "Yes madam, now come with me."
We were walking and walking, till the sun dropped down the horizon, and the sky turned into a darker shade of blue. I said,
"You said that my hardwork will begin tomorrow, right? Then why your making my legs ache today itself? When will we reach?"
We then heard a voice from behind,
"Where are you going?"
A girl comes to us in traditional clothes.

Friday reminder: I love to read comments...😁
I had promised to explain the cover page to you guys, so according to the knowledge we have now, I'm explaining the cover:
The girl on the cover page is Suzanne, and the boy is Sahil.
The left hand side of the cover shows a city, that Suzanne lives in.
Whereas the right side shows a village, precisely a kingdom.
The purple flames in between the characters is the teleport that they used to reach the kingdom.
So it means that Suzanne and Sahil use a teleport to go from a city to a kingdom.
And about the eyes...
That's a secret for now.
Next chapter releases on Monday, until then,
Stay tuned! 😊💖
