Part 2:After walking for some 1 km, they reached the mansion.
"I'm so tired." said Sunny as he sighed and looked at Kumud who was in his arms.
"Didn't know that you could not support a girl's weight." Saras said.
"If you are so fond of doing it, then carry her."
"You see..the thing is that I would ,but I like to see you in this state." he let a little dry laugh.
They were at the porch. The housekeeper, Ramu opened the door and greeted them.
"Hello, you must be the group of students, I'm Ramu."
One by one they introduced themselves, his gaze fell on Kumud,"What happened to her?"
"She fainted..maybe because of the heat." said Anushka.
"Come inside, I'll show you your rooms."
When they got inside, Sunny dumped Kumud in his arms,"You like to boast." He went outside and got the remaining bags that were left.
"I'm thirsty." said Danny.
"Me too,"
"The kitchen is over there,"
Anushka and Danny went to the kitchen while Ramu showed the room to Saras,"Sir, you may leave her here, I'll go and get some water,"
Saras carefully made her lay on the bed. He removed her shoes and bent to place her head on a pillow. While doing so, her ear ring got stuck in his shirt. He tried to remove it but failed. He stayed in that position for a while, and stared at her again. He was lost in her beauty and did not realize that he started running his left hand on her cheek...She felt at peace when she felt that touch even though she was not conscious, it was as if a bee had found nectar, and that feeling was satisfying.
He realized what he had been doing and he quickly withdrew his hand and managed to untangle the ear ring when he saw her eyes starting to open. Saras left the room and threw a last glance at her before going away.
After a while, when she opened her eyes, she found herself alone in an unknown place. She held her head in between her hands,"Where am I?"
Then Ramu entered the room along with Sunny. Kumud went and hugged Sunny,"Thank god, you are here, I was so scared."
Sunny ran his hands on her back,"Ssshh...I'm here now."
Ramu coughed and they both came out of the hug.
"Ma'm, water for you."
She took the glass,"Thanks."
"Sunny, how did I come here?"
"You fainted on the way and I carried you. You are so fat..." She smacked him on his chest.
"You find me fat?"
"I was just joking,"
She took one pillow and started hitting him with that,"Well here's your punishment for saying that I'm fat."
Sunny snatched the pillow from her,"Start running."
"No, you can't do this."
"Why?' he raised his eyebrows.
"Because I'm a girl and you are a guy."
"So..."
"So that's the reason."
She stumbled and fell on the bed with Sunny on her. At the same time, Saras had come to check on her and he saw them in that position.
They both got up from the bed.
"Oops, I'm sorry." Saras slammed the door shut. He was so angry, he wanted to bury that Sunny alive. Why does she affect him so much?
On the other side, Kumud was feeling guilty. She was surprised to find Saras looking at them. He had the same anger in his eyes when she had slapped him.
Sunny excused himself and went away.
Kumud was then distracted with Anushka's talks and she forgot about the incident.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dinner time,
There was no electricity in the mansion. There was a huge chandelier in the dining room. Kumud did not dare to meet Saras's gaze.
"This chandelier is 100 years old." Ramu said.
"Really?" asked Danny
"Yes, it was bought by the fifth owner of the house."
"Fifth owner you are saying? How may owners did it have?'
"Saras sir, it had eight owners in all, but after the first one,the remaining left the mansion with their family within the fifth month."
"Why is that so?"
"I don't know but only the eighth owner had stayed here for more than 5 months, he was alone. But after 2 months, his dead body was found in a well that is behind the mansion."
"That's quiet a mystery." Kumud said.
"Yes madam but until now. no one ever bothered to find out."
"Ramu, are there any secret doors or passages here..it's common in old houses."
"Kumud ma'm, no..not really."
"Ok."
Everyone had their food after and asked some questions about the mansion and so on.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
They were all sitting outside the house around a bonfire. Ramu had made tea for all of them.
Saras asked Ramu,"Well, who was the first one who lived here?"
I know that the current track is depressing.๐ญ Let's cherish old memories.๐
