"Yes please ", Benjamin said
"What do you say about our tomorrow's journey to your family member's ", Mathew asked
"You come from a far distance and I tell them that the I am going to show the town ", Benjamin said
"But we are not going to stay here and we even don't know when we are going to return back to your house. What about that ?", Mack said
"Those who come find it difficult to stay in our house I will tell my family that so I am going to stay with them too until they return ", Benjamin said
"O, so you already prepared for the journey ?", Mathew asked
"Yes, I am fully prepared and eagerly waiting for tomorrow ", Benjamin said
The four of them were continuously talking each other with out break and they all were became very close by the time and almost time passed with out knowing them. Now the time is 08:00 pm and Mrs. Benjamin called them for Dinner. Then the four had seen the time and little shock as they did not even noticed the time till now.
"Ok, let's go for the dinner, have a complete rest and all you get ready for the tomorrow's long mysterious journey ", Benjamin said and called them for dinner
Every one went for the dinner and sat on the table to eat and keep talking each other so many personal things except the treasure hunt as Mr. Benjamin already informed them not to discuss about the treasure hunt journey as his family may disturb .
After few minutes, they completed their meals and wished Good Night for Benjamin and his family members and went inside the room to sleep earlier . .
Clara went into the bed room alone allotted by Mr. Benjamin for her and locked the door to go to bed. But why she could not lie down was the unexplained confusion that struck her, not able to find out what the confusion aroused whether in her or in the room itself. She felt that some one is watching her from the outside of the building through the window in the room and at the same time some one is calling her to come towards them.
With these confusions in her she picked up her mobile phone and called her mother to speak for some time as she was not able to sleep and wanted to share with her mother about some thing as she is very close to her mother and nothing were hidden between them . .
Phone is ringing . .
Her mother saw the mobile and wondered that's her child and got confused that why she is calling at this time and felt that she might be in some trouble, she immediately attempted the call . .
"Hello dear, what happened you called me at this late night ?" her mother asked immediately when she attempted the call
"Mom, how do you know that some thing happened to me ?", Clara asked
"You are my daughter dear, what do you feel whether I can not guess what happened to you ?", her mother asked
"Hmmmm ", Clara said
"Now tell me, what happened ?", her mother asked
"Can you guess it mom what happened to me ?", Clara asked
"You are speaking normally but your mind was disturbed that means may be you fall in love. Am I right ", her mother asked very confidently
"Mom !!! ", Clara exclaimed by hearing her words
"What happened ?", her mother asked
"How did you guess it ?", Clara asked
"Come on my child, I can ", her mother asked
"Yes Mom you are absolutely right ", Clara said
"Ok, tell me who is that guy, I think it's Mathew right ?", her mother asked
"Mom !!!, by surprise what Mom are you, how can we be so correct ? and you are a genius Mom ", Clara said by lot of surprise
"Come on my dear, it's not about genius. It's a simple calculations that I guess it depends on who you are going with and where you are going ", her mother said
Clara became so silent that she was not spoke a word the next minute . .
"What happened by dear beautiful, open up with your inner feelings ", her mother asked her again as she was complete silent
"Mom, actually I expressed my inner feelings with him but . . but he was not expecting ", Clara said with sadness and grief comes out from some where deep in her heart
"Why what happened, why he was not accepting this beauty ?", her mother asked her doubtfully
The she explained her every thing in detail about why he was not accepting and what is his inner feelings .
"So, he is a gentle man it seems and he is a perfect man. Ok give him the call, I'll speak to him ", her mother asked
"No Mom, they have given me a separate room to me as I was a girl so he is in another room ", Clara said
"Ok, call me when you are with him. So what next ?", her mother said
"Mom I wanna share with you some more ", Clara said
"What is that, come on tell me dear don't hesitate ", her mother said
Then she explained every thing in detail about the treasure hunt and what they have found till now from the beginning onwards and how did Mathew gone through with the adventurous risk under the underground tunnel and where they are going tomorrow until now . .
"O my God, but why did you But why haven’t you told me so far ?", her mother asked by shivering
"The time has not come to say and we all never thought our journey would go so far Mom ", Clara said
"But why should we give up all this because you are the only daughter left with me. If some thing happened to you then how can I live, I already loose you father too ", her mother said
"But we have to do it Mom, there is no other chance as we already entered into the "Hell". We can not escape from the hell instead we have to face it. Any how don't worry Mom, we all have lockets with us and that will save us from happening big things ", Clara said
"Ok, take utmost care dear and I trust you ", her mother said and ended the call as it became late night . .
After talking to her mother she got relief some what and decided to go to bed. But . . .
But again she had the same feeling that some one is watching her from outside the room through the window but who does not appear when she looked out through the window by opening it .
She immediately thought that it would be better if she called Mathew and inform him about this, but again she thought that he was restless since yesterday and have not taken proper rest. So she decided to sleep alone and wear a blanket from top to bottom covering her whole body, lie down on the bed and closed her eyes very tightly trying to sleep. But she could not, at least she made a call to Mathew and informed him .
Mathew immediately woke up from his bed, came out silently as Mack was sleeping beside him and he may also woke up if he made even a little noise and thought that it would disturb his sleep . .
He slowly closed the room door, moved towards the Clara's room and knocked her door. She opened the door to see who was it, in the sense she know that it would be Mathew. He moved inside the room when she opened the door . .
"Mathew, I'm so scared so I called you and I am so sorry that I disturbed you ", Clara said
"Not at all, I promised you that I will save you ", Mathew said
"Thank you Mathew ", Clara said
"It's ok, now you go to sleep, it's already too late ", Mathew said
"No, you too come and sleep beside me ", Clara said
"No, that's not right on our part ", Mathew said
"It's ok Mathew, I am asking you, you are not coming to me right. Please come and sleep beside me so that I can sleep with out fear ", Clara said
He accepted by force and slept beside her . . After few minutes, this time both heard the voice and felt the same thing that some one is watching them through the window and also heard some screams too like a woman was crying from far away. Clara immediately moved close towards Mathew and hugged him tightly and few minutes later they both fell asleep. . .
Now the time is 07:00 am and the two woke up with the chirping of birds, slowly opened their eyes and saw the window, the rising sun slowly shines on their faces as if it was peeping through it towards them. The two get out of bed, moved towards the Mack's room and went inside to see whether he woke up or not. As he was still sleeping Mathew said that,
"Clara still I am feeling drowsy and so I'll sleep for some time if you don't bother about it . . ",
"O sure, never mind please have your sleep, I'll wait here until you woke up and thank you for your company last night ", Clara said
"Shhhh don't say like that, if any one heard this they may misunderstand the words ", Mathew said
"It's ok no problem, I don't bother it about. Ok ok you go and sleep. Still we have much more to travel and may be don't know what was going to happen the coming days. Take rest when possible ", Clara said
With out saying a word Mathew went to the bed to sleep and with in seconds he fell asleep as he was feeling tired a lot. But Clara sat beside him with out disturbing and continuously looked into him as she was missing him so badly. Thinking that, when he was going to accept her Love.
Few minutes later some one knocked the door and Clara immediately jumped towards the door as she thought Mathew would wake up by the knocking of the door. She opened the door to see who was knocking and it's Mr. Benjamin.
"What are you doing here, have you not slept in your room ?", Benjamin asked
"No, I came here just now ", Clara said
"O, I think you are an early bird ", Benjamin asked
"Yes", she replied
"So, wake them up. Let's have some coffee ", Benjamin said
