The Mystical Night ##unfolding##.. cont..
‘It would all be fine’ Mahek said repeatedly, looking in to my eyes. But she didn’t get any assured blink from me this time. It was almost 5:30 am as the couple quietly asked us to follow them uphill again. ‘Market area’ the slip had read. And we were climbing the hill again. It seemed desultory and the interpretation of their willingness a constant conundrum to me. But being only little suspicious about the couple, I was drowned in my thoughts as I could see the night sky burnishing the settled clouds for the waking sun.
‘when nature surpassing millions of men can start afresh every morning with a new sun, then men have but no right to be sadistic, because nature bears us more than we could ever bear anything else in the world’
After being silent for a while, the couple started conversing in their strange dialect that we couldn’t understood. As we all talking and in groups carefully climbed the rocky narrow area, the lady turned back and pointed to one distant building in white. Temple or church, none could make out as it was still far.
After seeing at least sth that looked like our destination, all were relaxed and my suspicions were taken away by the smiles that stayed on everybody’s lips for a while.
‘dew drops could be seen and touched on the leaves, and as I stopped to look at the horizon under a shady tree, Mahek and Deepika shook the tree making the dew water fall on me and thus my somnolence drifted away with the fresh cold air that blew ever so fast..’
The lady came up to us and suggested a short way to the church, after following that route for a while, we found ourselves moving away from the church as it became more distant, so we refused to follow them anymore. The couple was quite taken aback when we said that. Again, they exchanged a look, for god knows what.
We all decided that now we could go on our own and after thanking them we took the way we thought was right.
‘woan go alone. Nah safe.’, the man said.
‘we maah deliver.its aah duti’, the lady added.
They lady appeared motherly and we were glad that they want to accompany us. No aspersions whatever could be felt for the couple from anyone of us. Now they followed us, although, where they originally were going early morning before they met us remained unasked.
In another half an hour we should be up there and then camp, joyita declared cheerfully. As each one of us was dying to just go back to our camps and sleep off. Half way around, the man took leave from us and left for somewhere and now only the lady was accompanying. Where did he go? I was left wondering.
But nobody bothered his absence, as each one of was busy in noticing the hills.. wild roses.. strawberry bushes..and just enjoying the peace that crowned throughout the woods as we walked on. As we climbed on slowly, we were not tired. The lady was suddenly found talking on a mobile, which was pretty uncommon at that time.
‘feeling alone even when with friends is one of the strangest feelings
and it stays in your heart when you least want it to. Damn! things always come when unwanted in this world! ’
When we were still five minutes away from climbing the church, lady said, ‘maah home heer, welcoam in.i weel show, maah guests aah goahd’
We refused, she insisted. Religiously, she convinced us, and under an obligation and her motherly presence we followed her inside the small two roomed house, she offered us to sit down, it wasn’t that clean and suggested irregular dwelling. She went to get us some water. We all relaxed and everybody thought of just getting our last hint and then returning back to the cozy camp.
It was just when ten minutes had passed that we realized the lady’s prolonged absence, and we got up towards the door only to find ourselves locked in. I was stolid as I sensed it coming and yet ignored all along the way. Others were more worried than scared. None of us had any cell.
At this moment unlike others, we could not even feel that our coach might be somewhere around.
When expected, Nothing happens.
The door was wooden and engravings made it seem traditional. No window was there in the room and we cursed ourselves for not noticing how and when we were locked from both the sides. She did shut the door saying that her baby is sleeping in the other room, but we never thought we would end up getting locked like this. It was happening just like in movies. And although scared now, we all discussed about kidnappings and what not.
We were all made quiet as we heard the man’s voice once in between, but no other voice followed his and no reply came..
