Entangled {With Slaves Of Persia} (Book 2)

~ 32 ~

Meera's P.O.V continues......

I woke up the next morning with that phone still lying next to me.

It appears Tania too did not wake up.....

I was all ready by the time Tania woke up and was seated in front of the long windows and kept looking at those snow peaks.

I can spend hours just by looking at them....

'Good morning Meera! Wow! You look so adorable!' Said Tania getting down the bed.

'Good Morning Tania! Just was enjoying the view from here!' I replied.

'Thats nice, I am happy that this trip is enjoyable for you too!' She said running into the bathroom.

An hour later those two friends of Tania too were ready. We all four of us got down to have our breakfast.

'Listen girls, its about our today's itinerary...I have booked a taxi last evening and we are going to Rohtang pass....' said Tania with a cheerful face.

'Yay!!' Her friends said in unison.

I did not know how to react to this. I just smiled.
'Come on Meera you too can cheer up...this not my brother's office, it's Tania's company you are in with no rules and regulations!!' She said that which really made me smile whole heartedly.

'Yes I like that smile of yours!' Said Tania pinching my cheeks.

We four of us boarded the taxi and reached the mountain top in about an hour and I was speechless. There was snow and the place was too cloudy. We were given warm jackets and boots that helped us bear the cold and walk in the snow.

We spent more than an hour in there till we those two friends of Tania started feeling dizzy and breathless.

'Ma'am we have to get down immediately! It's the lack of oxygen that's making them dizzy....see their faces too have swollen up!' said the driver of that taxi and we did not waste any minute more. As we began descending down the hill, both the girls faces turned normal and were able to breath normally.

By the time we reached the hotel back, it was almost three in the evening due to heavy traffic on the way. 'I think it's better we take rest for the day and will visit Solang Valley tomorrow!' Said Tania.

'I agree Tania!' Said Deepa and the Neha just nodded.

'Yes Tania let's take rest!' I too agreed with her since I was feeling too tired with pain in my legs.

We all retired to our respective rooms and hit the bed.

The next day we all went to Solang Valley as planned. The beautiful picturesque mountains just got permanently registered in my mind. I can never forget this trip in my whole life....

We all parasailed and spent such a lovely time on those beautiful slopes of the valley.

As usual we were back tired and slept immediately.

The next morning, it was the day my mother was taken away from me.

'Tania today I am in no mood to go out with you...I would rather like to spend my time at a temple!' I told her.

'Oh why Meera, what happened?' She asked me with so much concern.

'It's my birthday....' I said and was about to talk further, Tania and her friends began wishing me one by one and were hugging me.

'So how old are you?' Tania asked me

'Now I am eighteen...' I said with tears flooding out my eyes.

'Oh dear what happened? Why are you crying? ' all the girls asked me in unison.

I told them what happened to my mother the day I was born. Listening to my story all three of them ended up in tears.

'Ok at least we can have our breakfast together right?' Tania tried to get back to normalcy fast.

Deepa and Neha agreed and I silently followed them.

'Excuse me...is there any temple nearby?' Asked Tania with the receptionist after we finished eating.

'Yes Ma'am it's over on that hill there is an old temple built for a demon queen!! It's the one and only one of its kind.. and it's called Hadimba Temple named after her.' Replied the receptionist pointing out the hill from his desk.

'Oh that's great then...it's now on our must visit place! How far is it?' She further enquired.

'Just at a walkable distance!' He replied and we all began our walk towards the Hadimba temple. We had to climb up another hill a bit to reach the temple. That area was so pleasant, I found a small rock to sit and settled on it.



'You sit here, we will just go and see the area...' said Tania to which I just nodded. There were just a few foreign tourists taking pictures of the temple. Ignoring them I just kept to myself looking at my feet I kept imagining how my mother would be. Sometime later I heard a voice
'She looks so damn sexy man!'

Hearing the voice of a male I lift my head and saw few people who stood looking at me. I instantly felt like I was in trouble. Not wasting a second I stood on my feet and was about to walk but then one of the men who was staring at me blocked my way.

'Please sir let me go!' I requested him.

'Sure...but first I want you to accompany me to my room' he said scaring me more.

I pushed that man and ran in the direction where I saw Tania and others went. Those men followed me. They were faster than me and they caught me.

'Please I beg of you..leave me sir!' I kept saying but I was pushed down on the ground and one man even tore my blouse near my left shoulder. My heart was beating pretty fast and all I felt at that moment was this is it...i'm going to die now...the prediction's is going to be true...

But I was wrong, Tania and her friends rescued me. They hit those men with stones and sticks and even shouted very loudly saying 'help...help somebody save my friend!' In chorus.

Within seconds there were few more people who gathered around and caught those men, took them away. I sat there crying and Tania sat next to me and hugged me 'no don't cry Meera...you need to be brave!! There will be many who would try to enjoy a woman's beauty but it's upto us with whom we wish to enjoy!!' She said. Tania was a much stronger girl I ever met.

Back to our hotel room I changed my dress and spent rest of the day in there watching some television channel.

The next morning we all returned back to Delhi and Tania's driver came to pick us up saying 'Rahul sir is out of town and will be back in the evening!'

I breathed a sigh of relief hearing him since I was still not ready to face him and also I needed some more time to get out of the previous day's trauma.
