Alex POV
"Hey thakur ji, je kaise ho sake hai. Je to khatarnak hai, bahut khatarnak (Oh lord Krishna, how is this possible. This is dangerous, very dangerous)" I heard someone mumbling. Who is she? Oh my god, my head. It is feeling sooo heavy.
I tried to move my hands but they were also feeling heavy. My whole body is aching, why the hell my eyes are not opening.
"Hukum? Hukum?" I heard the panicked voice.
"Hey mhara ram ji, kirpa karo (oh my lord Rama, have some mercy)" I felt like someone was trying to roll my body.
"Hukum to hil hi na rahe, k karu (he is not budging, what to do)" there was panic and urgency in her voice.
She tried to roll my body again and again but I felt like my body has been glued to the ground. Then I heard cutting of some leather like thing. I was rolled again and this time my body moved from its place.
"Bahut bahut abhar thakur ji (lots of thanks lord Krishna)" she sighed and kept on rolling my body. Her breathing was getting heavy and ragged.
She was panting but keep on rolling me and then she stopped. The heaviness on my body reduced. Something was put inside my mouth which melted instantly. It was bitter very bitter but I couldn't spit it out. Within seconds I felt like something exploded in my gut and gush of energy spread throughout my body making me alive again.
My eyes opened up within fraction of seconds and I looked around. Shankari was lying almost lifeless beside me. I put my two fingers near her nose and felt warmth of her shallow breathing.
"Shankari ji?? Shankari ji?? Kya hua apko (what happened to you)" I shook her shoulders. I checked her all over and found a small glass bottle near her hand. It has some black paste like thing and the same thing was also smeared on her fingertips. I touched my lips and remnants of the same paste was also there. So this was the thing which made me alive.
I put my finger in the bottle and scooped little of the paste to put it in her mouth. The effect was marvelous because she woke up within a minute. Her wrinkled eyelids fluttered and opened immediately to look at me.
"Hukum!!" She immediately lifted herself from ground and stood up.
"Aap please baithiye (please sit down)" she hesitatingly sat down at the same place.
"Kya hua tha mujhe Shankari ji (what happened to me)" she looked at me when I asked and her eyes filled with guilt.
"Hukum, manne kshama kar do. Mhare Karan aapke pran..(please forgive me my lord. I put your life in danger)" a sob escaped her parched lips and I took her old and wrinkled hand in mine.
"Aapki vajah se kuch ni hua, please mat roiye (nothing happened because of you. Please don't cry)" I wiped her tears and she looked at me again.
I asked her again about the incident happened with me and she told me to look where we were sitting several minutes ago. We have come at least 200 meters away from the balcony like opening which was showing the giant gate and reached inside of the cave.
She told me that after eating the dates, I lie down on my stomach to rest and then I complained about headache. She has also felt heaviness in her body like me but because she is a native, she was able to tolerate it.
She realized that this heaviness is not good because it was draining out the energy from our bodies and it was affecting me in worst ways. I was losing my consciousness with each passing second so she decided to move back to the exit of the cave. She tried to lift me up from the ground but my body was almost glued to the ground. She tried me to roll several times but every time she failed.
