In the arms of devil

Part-3

" mom, who changed my clothes at night  " I  asked by  coming towards the hall,

" I  changed your clothes " mom said while reading newspaper ,

" Ok mom " I said and  goes to find my grandma, 

obviously,  I can't ask anything to mom otherwise instead of giving answers of my  questions she will beat me with  slippers ,broom and mob ,

I love  my grandmaa so much and she is the reason why history fascinate me so much ,

Infact , she is the one who  told me so many  stories , incidents of history and    about kings and queen because she was history professor in college ,

And she also work as a historian for archeological department from  many  years hence she is having so much knowledge about history ,

" Hey donkey do you know where is grandmaa ?  " I ask my  brother who is busy in  stuffing ice cream in his mouth  secretly from mom 

" I am not your servant  dumb head go and  find her by  yourself " he said arrogantly and continue eating ,

" I think I should tell mom about what's happening here as a responsible daughter and sister " I act as I am going to hall  ,

" You fool don't you know it is  worship time of grandmaa " he said angerily ,

Oh yeah I forgot actually my grandma is very much devoted and disciplined towards worship ,

" Don't you learn sharing bring happiness, now c'mon share with me " I said to my brother who is looking angrily towards me ,

" Why don't you die now  come and stuff in your demon mouth " he said angerily ,

I immediately goes to him and starts eating  ice cream with him ,

According to mom "if she will allow us both we can   kill each other " that  much we both fight with each other,

Lol obviously she say this in anger , suddenly I saw grandma coming from our home temple ,

I immediately wipe my hands with ofcourse with  my clothes " don't consider me as neat and clean freak I am so lazy head , "

" Good morning grandmaa " I hug her tightly but she look at me with teary eyes ,

" Don't talk to me " she said by removing my hand ,

I think she is also angry with me so I narrate the whole story again to my grandma ,

I hope I frame every lie correctly " you are not lieing right ?  " she said by looking at me ,

" Ofcourse not  grandmaa " she then looking at me with smile ,

She starts going but I pull her towards my room and then  sit her  on my bed  ,

" O God adhi you are 18 but still reacting like a 6 year old " she complaint and sit properly on bed ,

" I will be still reacting as 6 when I will be 70 " I said and keep my head on her lap ,

She starts laughing and patt my head lovingly ,

I think it's good time to start conversation "do  you know grandmaa ,

Last night I reached to queen's room and it was open luckily but she suddenly interupt me ,

"I m sure you are mistaken adhi because that room is not for public display and that room is very much inside the palace   " she said with confidence ,

" No , it was open last night , I saw with my eyes it's having beautiful cravings of flowers and its decorated with colorful stones too and yes that room is having a big window from which pure  cold breeze came   " I said confidently ,

" Your description about the room is correct except one thing " grandmaa said and I immediately look at her by removing my head from her lap ,

" What is that one thing " I ask her out of curiosity as I am sure it was queen's room which I read in my book or some history books of that palace,

" Queen room is not having any window because when I went for research there I doesn't find any window and that room  was very much inside the palace

But  your dad and police find you near the courtyard of palace which is just some distance  away from enternace and thank god you was just on enternace otherwise it will be difficult for us to find you in such a big palace easily  "  she said and I can't believe what just I heard right now  ,

I am so shocked and scared by listening grandma that my heart beat is  increasing fast ,

How is it possible ? For some minutes if I will believe what grandmaa said is true that I went in another room instead of queen room

But still I'm so much sure that I crossed that courtyard last night not just courtyard I went very much  inside of palace ,

I already visit palace on my school  picnic recently , that time also we crossed that courtyard and went till museum ,

Because we were  allowed to go till  museum only and I remember on school picnic too,

teachers were  not  allowing  us to go further inside the palace but last night  I am sure I crossed the museum and not only museum I went much more  inside the palace  then how I end up in courtyard ,

" What happen adhi ? Why are this sweat  on your forehead  " grandma ask me  and I couldn't said anything to her ,

Right now I am so confuse as well as scare too " how I was  end up near the entrance ,  who was taken me to the courtyard ? " ,

" What happen with you and  why you become quite suddenly  ?" Grandmaa ask me once again but this time with worry ,

" Nothing grandmaa I was just thinking something " I said and she patt my hair lovingly ,

" Thank God, your father got you  safely yesterday never do it again do you know  how much dangerous  it was to go alone in such places especially at night ,

there can be  so many criminals, drunkard stay at night or do criminal activities there because they know no one will came there especially at night so  they  reach there through jungle and stay in night " she said with teary eyes ,

" Don't worry !  grandma see nothing happen with me   " I said by controlling my inner turbulence,

" Now , I am going to have tea " she said and left  I know she is upset with me , 

But right now I feel so scare and only one question roaming around my head  " how I reached to  entrance " ,

Something came in my mind I immediately turn on my laptop and type that palace name  " firstly I have to find that I went to queen 's room or not , as grandmaa said it was so much inside of palace "

Page is loading but when I see picture of queen room all my doubt clear and now I am feeling terrible fear and shock ,

I shut my laptop immediately and run  towards  garden where veer is playing cricket with his friends ,

" Dumb head ! I came here  first so you have to go from here " my stupid brother said but right now I am not in mood to fight with him ,

" Don't you have  eyes this is big you can play in this much area easily so get out " I said with anger ,

" Don't tell me anything  if my ball hit on your already dumb head " he said with amusement ,

" Ok fine " I said and came in my room because if I will be there then he will intentionally disturb me again and again ,

" I should discuss this matter with someone but with whom ,

Obviously , I can't tell grandmaa about  it otherwise she will be tense and definitely think that I am gone crazy by going into that place in night ,

Whom should I tell now ? Suddenly I remember my best friend niti " oh how can I forget her "

I immediately call her "I am about to call you adhi , I have heard from my mom  that you went to that palace yesterday is it true ?  "

" You listen to me first it's important " I told her everything ,

about  what's happened  with me there and what grandmaa told me ,

"Oh ! Congratulations finally you got your prince I am sure he was  taken  you to the courtyard in his strong arms so that your family can reach to you easily "she said in amusement tone,

" Niti , I am seriously telling you truth  I saw someone there infact I starts feeling someone's presence after I crossed museum corridor please believe me " I said and starts crying on phone ,

" O God adhi you are crying , I am sorry I thought you pranking on me as usual " she console me ,

" I am not  telling any lie , I am really telling you truth " I said genuinely ,

" Ok tell your mother that I am coming to your home for night stay " she said and I feel releax now ,

" Its  good idea ok you come I am waiting for you " I said and hung up the call .
