Another Go

Chapter 30: Day 2

After watching the sunrise, we stayed there for some more time. We enjoyed the view sitting on a rock. The family had already returned to the hotel as the kids were hungry.

After an hour we returned to the hotel. We met the family at the lobby, they were going to leave. We shared numbers to stay in touch and they left.

The twins were saying bye very cutely. We had breakfast and went to the room to pack our bag. We were leaving too, as we had plans on the way back home.

Rushav and I went to our room and girls in their room.

We packed bags and checked if anything was left. Girls too finished packing.

The manager gave us a warm farewell and told us to visit again.

Rushav and I went to the parking to take the car, Anna and Sumee stayed on the main gate.

Rushav drove the car saying he had a place in his mind. I took the backseat.

Sumee and Anna too got in.
Sumee was reading the birthday wishes people sent for Rushav. And Rushav was telling her what to reply.

Anna and I were looking at the pictures. I wasn't fully focused as image from the last night were clear on my mind. I was trying my best to act normal.

After one hour of drive, Rushav stopped, I had no idea where it was.

"We're going to this cave." Rushav handed me a leaflet.

The cave was known as "Siddha Gufa". All of us got out from the car and Rushav went to park it.

"We've to climb this mountain." Sumee sighed looking up at the mountain.
"Max 1 hour" I patted her back and laughed.

We started walking once Rushav was back. The path way was clearly shown and it was well maintained. We had no trouble.

After resting for I don't know how many times we reached the cave. The view from there was so good.
The price of chips, juices were double, up there.

I bought the tickets. And gave it to the guard. Rushav and Sumee were together, getting ready to go inside. Anna was looking at me with hopeful, she seemed like she wanted to say something.

"All okay?" I asked her, going towards her.
"I don't wanna go inside." She said looking at the entrance of the cave. She looked nervous.

"What if mountain collapses?" She asked.
"It won't dear." I held her hands.
"What if?" Anna stammered.

"Okay fine. We won't go." I smiled at her. Cause what she wanted mattered more.
"No you go." She turned to me.
"I can't leave you alone here." I said.

"Aren't you guys coming?" Rushav shouted from the entrance.
"Coming" Anna replied and I was surprised.

"I'm okay as long as I'm with you." She held my hands more tightly.
"You don't need to do this." I meant that.
"I don't wanna regret not going inside just because of the typical what if" She started walking towards Rushav.

Typical my girl type. I liked Anna for that, never giving up spirit.

I smiled and followed her. I knew she was super afraid so I kept on holding her hand.

As we entered the cave, it brought goosebumps all over my body. The vibes were scary. It was so cool and dark there. I felt like I was entering a horror house. The guide showed us the way.
