About a few minutes had passed since Akshita had boarded the yacht "There was no one here, just some ruins that's all" replied Akshita to the man who was the helmsman of the Fortuna then Akshita turned her attention to Mukta "You look terrible" said Mukta "Considering that I haven't had a bath in four days, that seems ok" replied Akshita "Come I'll show you to your room then you can get cleaned up" said Kiara then all three proceeded towards a flight of stairs which led to an upper deck.


Akshita, Mukta and Kiara climbed up the stairs to reveal a partly opened set secured sitting area on the left side of the deck comprising of a center table with a glass top and a wall to wall sofa and a small TV on the wall where the sofa ended, in the middle was a walkway with three doors one on either side and one in the center at the end. Kiara led the way to the room on the right side. Akshita followed "You get cleaned up then we can talk" said Mukta then proceeded towards the room straight down the walkway.

Akshita entered the room revealing a queen size bed in the middle with under counter cabinets on sides which were topped with wood to make shelves a large TV hung on the wall next to entrance door, A door on the right side led to a washroom, and a behind the bed was a window which had remote controlled curtains. The bedroom was done up in white coloured furnishings complimenting the brown wood.

Akshita entered the room then closed the door and locked it then approached the bed and placed the purse on the bed then opened it letting both Kriti and Shraddha out, "Wow this is so cool" said Kriti in excitement watching all over the room "Wow indeed" said Shraddha "Well you two, get comfortable while I take a bath" said Akshita "Don't worry I locked the room" said Akshita then proceeded towards the washroom.

Akshita then entered the washroom and closed the door, "isn't this so cool" asked Kriti after running up the bed towards the pillow "It is cool" said Shraddha "We are going to be first one's to see the outside world" said Kriti "Yeah we will" replied Shraddha then sat down silently, Kriti then approached her and sat next to her "Missing home" Kriti asked "No, It's not like I didn't want to come I only wish it was under better circumstances" replied Shraddha, "I understand" said Kriti getting unhappy.

After a few minutes the door to the washroom unlocked and Akshita came out, "It feel so good to be clean again" said Akshita both girls turned towards Akshita and noticed her clothes. Akshita was wearing a multicoloured dress style top and white pants, Akshita turned towards the bed sat down and brought her face close to both girls "I was thinking, to reveal you both to my mother and cousin" said Akshita "Why, Kareena said not to" replied Kriti "She also said that I can do as I feel best and I didn't bring you both just so you can spend your entire life in a purse" explained Akshita both girls looked at each other "Ok, we trust you" said Shraddha "Good, now get ready to amaze my mother and my cousin" said Akshita then got up from the bed and proceeded towards the entrance door.

Upon opening the door noticed that Kiara's room's door was open "Kitkat Didi" Akshita called "Yes, Akshu Didi" replied Kiara while out of the room "Can you call my mom and then come inside my room with her" asked Akshita "Ok" said Kiara then proceeded towards Mukta's room.

After a few minutes there was on the door Akshita opened the door and noticed both Mukta and Kiara standing "Yes dear" said Mukta "Come in" invited Akshita, Then Mukta and Kiara came inside the room then Akshita closed the door and locked the door.

"What's the matter" asked Mukta noticing Akshita's behaviour then Akshita picked up the purse in her hand and came close to Mukta and Kiara. "Remember I told the crew person that there was no one on that Island" said Akshita "Yeah" said Kiara "I lied" revealed Akshita "Why" said Mukta in a upset tone "Because of this" said Akshita then opened the purse and let Kriti and Shraddha out on the bed then sat behind them.

Both Mukta and Kiara couldn't believe what they were seeing, It was as if their mind was their was telling them that what they were seeing was wrong. Mukta then sat on the other side of the bed and came close to Kriti & Shraddha, as Mukta's giant face approached Kriti backed up and clung to Akshita, "Hey, don't worry, She won't hurt you" said Akshita consoling Kriti "This is my mom, Mukta" added Akshita then Kriti let go and stepped forward while Shraddha stood in her place "And that is my cousin, Kiara" said Akshita pointing to Kiara.

"Hello" said Kiara in a soft voice and waved then sat on the bed in front of Shraddha "They are like little dolls" said Kiara then reached for Shraddha, Kiara gently wrapped her fingers around Shraddha's legs then picked her up, Kiara brought Shraddha close to her face for a closer look, after inspecting for a minute Kiara kept Shraddha back on the bed "This is Shraddha and Kriti, They call themselves Miniaturans" said Akshita as she pointed to both girls introducing them "Mini-what!" asked Mukta.

"It's another word for little people" said Shraddha "Oh, Then why hide" asked Mukta "Because we want to remain a secret" replied Kriti "and yet you both came with Akshu Didi" asked Kiara "There was such circumstances, in which I couldn't leave them" said Akshita "Like what" asked Mukta "Your daughter saved my life and since I didn't have a family, she supported me, took care of me, I consider her my Unnie" explained Kriti after a long silent moment "Unnie" asked Kiara "It's a term in our language" replied Kriti "The closest translation would be elder sister" added Shraddha "Ok" said Kiara.

"I had already lost my family, I didn't want to lose another" said Kriti "and what about you, Why did you come" asked Kiara to Shraddha "My story is bit more complicated" replied Shraddha "how" asked Mukta "I was exiled by my sister" replied Shraddha "For what" asked Kiara "To quote her My intentions were good but my actions weren't" replied Shraddha "Akshita stood up for me against everyone, and i respect her for that" added Shraddha "It's like what Kriti said She's all the family I have left and I don't want to lose it" said Shraddha "So in other worlds you became their surrogate elder sister" said Kiara to Akshita with a giggle "Yeah" replied Akshita "And Maate, don't worry they are my responsibility" said Akshita, Mukta nodded then reached towards Shraddha and softly fondled her like as if she was a little child.

Suddenly there was knock on the door, quickly Mukta hid Shraddha under her hand while Kriti just sat behind Kiara getting out of view, Akshita got up and reached towards the door and opened it, Standing in front him was a lady crew member "Dinner is ready, shall I lay it in the sitting area outside" she asked "Yes, we'll be out in five minutes" replied Kiara, the female crew member nodded then Akshita shut the door.

Just as Akshita closed the door Mukta freed Shraddha and Kiara simply picked Kriti and placed her on her lap. "What about you both, how will you eat" asked Kiara "We'll be in the room" answered Shraddha "Alone, and if you need anything" asked Akshita "I'll stay with them you both girl go and eat first" said Mukta and then made herself comfortable on the bed, "And your dinner, Maasi" asked Kiara "I'll eat afterwards, I'm not that hungry anyway" replied Mukta. "Ok, let's go" said Kiara then both Akshita and Kiara left the room closing the door.
