Hey, wanna have someone news' pov?

Hehe.

And if you will wonder, one peher is equivalent to 8 hours. So, 24 hours, which is one day here is 3 pehers there.

All lines in italic are spoken in Sanskrit.

--------------------------------------

It is been a peher and ¼ of another since the girl we found near the Navr van was unconscious.

She looked like she had a fight with some wild animal, somewhere in the Navr van.

No one goes in there. People who went there, never came back.

I heard some stories about people going in there and never coming back as warnings for us.

But she is lucky, I think, because she escaped the van and hence, escaped from whoever was chasing her.

Then we found her.

"How is she, Dhritika?" Tai ji asked.

"I don't know Tai ji. She doesn't seem to be injured too much, I think she will probably be up and going sometime soon, because of the medicine I gave her." I say, looking at the asleep figure.

Tai ji left after giving a nod.

This girl - uhh, feels weird calling her this girl but I don't know her name.

"Divyanshi."

A name that made it's upto the spotlight of my mind when I looked at her, lying at the outskirts of that dangerous place comes to my mind again, but this time, to my mouth too.

Her name is probably something along that line, her face, glowing even when she is asleep from the medicine, hints at it.

She begins to stir at my voice, which I, of course, hadn't noticed first.

"Hey, umm, how do you feel now?" I try to ask slowly, to not startle her.

She opens her eyes, and looks at the ceiling for a while before looking down to me.

And then she frowns at me while slightly shifting, but I don't think she knows that she is shifting away.

Well, what can I say, it's understandable.

Won't you try to back away from an unfamiliar face after you have recently had an attack on yourself?

"Calm down, I am no threat. In fact, i- I mean, we, saved you from a possible threat." I tried to soothe her, only to have a confused look thrown my way.

Saanvi pov.

Why is she speaking in Sanskrit?

And how the hell did I end up here?

All I remember is, falling in the pond and then encountering a wild animal.

What did I do after that?

I closed my eyes to remember, trying to figure out how I landed in here.

As I pushed the animal aside, I became aware of it going weak.

Huh?

I sat up looking at it in horror.

What the- how did this arrow come?

Who shot this?

I looked around for the bow of the arrow lodged in his body, no luck.

If someone shot this animal, why didn't he, or maybe she, come forward?

Was the time I spent to push the animal aside enough for her or him to leave so quick?

A claw dug into my flesh, but thankfully, not too deep.

I looked at the animal lying by my side, whimpering, but still awake.

I jumped back and ran off a little far from him, ony to hear his groans and moans of pain.

I know I shouldn't have, but I traced back my steps and took out the arrow from his body before throwing just beside the river when water could reach it, but not take the arrow with it.

He did hurt me in the while, and I tried my best to stop it. But I still got hurt, and those wounds accompanied the many wounds I got during that fight with the animal.

Maybe that explains the pastes that are applied on my skin on various parts.

"Wh-Where am I?" I asked.

"Huh? What are you saying?" The girl next to me said something in Sanskrit although I didn't completely understand it.

She looks about one or two years elder than me.

This time, I used the little Sanskrit I knew to communicate to her and asked the same question.

"Mehrangarh." She replied in a confused tone.

What kind of a joke is this?

How can we be in Mehrangarh when it was established so many years ago. And also destroyed so many years ago.

We're in Indore, I wanted to ask in what place of Indore are we in.

Is this a prank?

But why would she do it, many people don't even know about this kingdom, I mean it was more popular than other but still.

We don't even know each other.

"Please don't joke with me. I need to get back to my home soon." I said in a rather pleading voice.

"𝘏𝘦𝘺, 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘩𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘥? 𝘋𝘪𝘥 𝘐 𝘥𝘰 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨? 𝘋𝘰 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘸𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘥𝘴 𝘩𝘶𝘳𝘵?" She asked, getting tensed up.

I didn't understand what she said, but I knew she was tensed.

"Please tell where we are." I pleaded again, this time in some sensible Sanskrit.

"𝘐 𝘵𝘰𝘭𝘥 𝘺𝘰𝘶. 𝘞𝘦 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘪𝘯 𝘔𝘦𝘩𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘢𝘳𝘩."

𝘞𝘩𝘺 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘩𝘦𝘤𝘬 𝘪𝘴 𝘴𝘩𝘦 𝘫𝘰𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘮𝘦!

𝘊𝘢𝘯'𝘵 𝘴𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘦𝘦 𝘮𝘺 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘵𝘦?

𝘈𝘳𝘨𝘩𝘩.

I groaned with pain when I suddenly started to sit up.

She came to me to help me, but I was okay till then.

"𝘖𝘬𝘢𝘺. 𝘗𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘦, 𝘤𝘢𝘭𝘮 𝘥𝘰𝘸𝘯. 𝘐 𝘥𝘰𝘯'𝘵 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸 𝘸𝘩𝘺 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘴𝘰 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘥. 𝘉𝘶𝘵, 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘴𝘢𝘧𝘦 𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦." She tried to soothe me, and I would be lying if I said I didn't calm down even a little.

My words spoken in Sanskrit were fumbled, but words written were more stable, understandable - to me - atleast.

So I looked around for some paper and pen.

I didn't find them

So I gestured of a pen and paper, because I didn't know what pen and paper are called in Sanskrit, and then she got them for me.

Only, it wasn't exactly pen and paper.

If you have enough interest in history, you would know what this is.

I didn't, so I don't.

I started writing,"Can you please tell me where we are in Indore? And, we don't live in Mehrangarh, why are you constantly saying that this is Mehrangarh?" I wrote in it in the top level Sanskrit I know.

"𝘜𝘮𝘮, 𝘸𝘦𝘭𝘭, 𝘐 𝘥𝘰𝘯'𝘵 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸 𝘩𝘰𝘸 𝘵𝘰 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘥 𝘮𝘶𝘤𝘩. 𝘉𝘶𝘵 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘐 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸, 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘵𝘳𝘺𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘰 𝘢𝘴𝘬 𝘮𝘦 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘸𝘦 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘪𝘯 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘣𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘺 𝘢 𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘤𝘦 𝘤𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘥 𝘐𝘯𝘥𝘰𝘳𝘦. 𝘈𝘯𝘥 𝘐 𝘴𝘶𝘱𝘱𝘰𝘴𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘭𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦," I nod at that. "𝘞𝘦𝘭𝘭, 𝘐 𝘥𝘰𝘯'𝘵 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘪𝘴. 𝘉𝘶𝘵 𝘐 𝘮𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘵𝘦𝘭𝘭 𝘺𝘰𝘶, 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘪𝘴 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘐𝘯𝘥𝘰𝘳𝘦, 𝘪𝘵 𝘪𝘴 𝘔𝘦𝘩𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘢𝘳𝘩."

She was going to say something else but then we heard a call.

"𝘋𝘩𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘬𝘢, 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘱𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘩𝘦𝘭𝘱 𝘮𝘦." I heard.

"𝘠𝘦𝘴 𝘔𝘢𝘵𝘢. 𝘊𝘰𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘨!"The girl infront of me called back.

She gave me an apologetic look and went out the door.

I plopped back onto the bed I was laying in, wondering what all that was about.

She was talking as if I had actually 𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘦 𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘷𝘦𝘭𝘦𝘥!

Like, I know, it's many peoples' dream, mine was too, but it is not

possible. Is it?

----------------------------------------------------

So, *clears throat*, if I were Saanu, I would actually doubt myself.

Okay, love you. Bye!
