Hunt for Survival

With Me

Shaurya

We were walking and walking and there was no limit to where we were walking and I was also getting tired, but both of the people in front of me weren’t tired at all and were also a few steps ahead of me.

“Aren’t you guys tired?” I asked them. Though this is the most unexpected thing that I have walked for more than a few miles, none of them are showing that they are tired or even need rest for moments. What are they made up of?

“We are not. Are you tired?” Prashant asked.

“If you are not human, then it is not my fault, but I am a human and I want to rest after walking this far.”

“What do you mean that I am not a human?” He asked and I rolled my eyes.

“If you were human, then you would have been as tired as me, but you are all fine. I guess I am getting old now, so young people let me have some rest. I am dead tired.”

“Are you trying to pull my leg?” I showed him my hands and he looked confused. “What does this mean?”

“That my hands are over here just so how can I pull your legs and you are also perfectly standing. Talk with some sense.” He rolled his eyes and now I think that I was really overreacting last night. He is perfectly fine but yet I am unable to think why he asked on behalf of him and it was like that he wasn’t at my side, at his side only.

“You are joking around again.”

“You know that my day can’t move if I don’t joke around, so let me have some time off.”

“What about reaching your destination?”

“We will reach there, but if I don’t take the rest get then I am sure that I will die due to the exhaustion.” I said, and I looked at him and for a moment I felt as if something was different in his thoughts, but when he saw me, his expression quickly changed and he smiled. “I guess after you have faced your past, you are happy, in the past you would hardly smile or would have laughed whole heartedly.” His expression changed to neutral and when I saw that I chuckled at him and put my hand over his shoulder.

“You sure are someone who takes people's words seriously. I am happy that you have faced your past and also started to live happily. We should be happy till the last moment of our breadth, that keeps our heart blossom. So just smile and be happy. After all, you deserve to be happy and leaving the past was something that was a really good idea.” I said and moved forward, but I didn’t see him beside me, so I looked back and saw that he was still standing over there just.

“Hey Prashant,” I said and he looked at me. “Shouldn’t we move ahead?”

“Aren’t you tired?”

“I am, but let’s move forward for a while, then we will rest and look around…” I looked around and saw the forest only and there was no place where I could sit properly. “…I don’t think that this is the best place for us to rest. We can find one ahead.” I said and I looked at, the minister, who was angry at me about something.

“So, Ms. Minster, have I done something wrong that has made you angry?” I asked her and she looked at Prashant and I looked at him and he looked at me. “Why are you looking at him? He won’t give you a command? After all, he is my best friend, not your king, or do you like him as well?” She looked confused after my statement.

“As well?”

“Well, it is a secret. Can’t disclose.” I said to her and I went towards her. “Do you want to know who else likes Prashant?”

“I want to.”

“You are jealous as well. I don’t understand how he can make two people fall in love with him. Isn’t it strange. But forget that, the person is…” She was attentive to my words but I smirked. “I won’t tell you.”

“I won’t tell you?” She looked at him weirdly before she realized what had happened and I started to laugh. “You are very cunning.”

“Am I? Thank you so much for discovering this about me or else I wouldn’t know that I am cunning. I thought that I was just a simple man who had to earn money to handle the household.” She rolled her eyes.

“You are not only cunning but also very, very talkative. I can’t understand how he can handle you so well.”

“I also don’t understand this and if you want to know, then ask him only, I bet that he must have a better answer than me. I am also wondering how he could have handled me so well. Go further and ask him and if you will know the answer, then please do me a favor by telling me the answer.”

“You, why can’t you just keep your mouth shut?”

“I was born to speak and that is why I speak and if anyone has any kind of problem, then they are most welcome to leave the place and I won’t even stop them.”

“I won’t be the one who will leave, but you are the only one who will leave.” I looked at Prashant and smirked.

“Prashant, you really are charming that around you girls are like flower but when they come around me they are like thorn but I am also best at the taking the fight with the thorn.”

“Who are you saying then too?” I looked at her and took a round around her and looked at her from head to toe and when our eyes met, she was already irritated. “What? Why are you behaving like that?”

“I have definitely said that when girls come around me they act like thorns and I checked you out and you are a girl from every angle, then you are the thorn. Oh Shaurya, I guess you must be hearing then.” I said and that made her angry and she started to chase me around until I was running forward. “If you really have the power then do catch me.” I said while looking behind and she was just about to catch me but she bumped into something and fell down. I couldn’t understand what had happened. She stood up.

“What have you done over here?”

“I haven’t done anything.”

“Then how did I feel?” I went towards her and there was a few inch gap between us and I took my arms out of where she was and took them in.”

“See there is nothing, you have stumbled and fallen on your own.”

“No, I haven’t fallen on my own.” She took out her hand and, half-distance, only she had just stopped and couldn’t bring her hand out.

“What is wrong?” I heard Prashant’s voice and he also reached over there and his eyes fell on the minister.

“This is a spell which is used by the people over here, the people of the castle can’t enter at all.” I looked behind and saw a beautiful scene.

“Am I in heaven already?”

“This place is heaven’s beauty. This is one of the places which connects people with God and only people who aren’t connected to the king anyhow can enter this place.”

“So can I see God today?”

“You can’t, God only comes in 100 years and 100 years still has to be completed, so before that you can’t meet God.” I sighed.

“I thought that I would have been able to see God for the first time in my life, but see how unlucky I am; I can’t even see him.” I looked back at her.

“How are you going to come inside?”

“This spell can’t be broken by any things, even if it is a deity knife.”

“How do you know that?”

“Because the king tried to invade this place with a deity knife but he was unsuccessful.”

“Your king sure is bling in greed.”

“Don’t say a word about him.”

“Why are you so angry?” She was shut for a few seconds. “Oh, I should have known that.”

“What should you have known?”

“You are his minister, so it is natural that you respect your king and can’t stand his insult.” She rolled her eyes.

“Why are you behaving more like Prashant than Prashant himself?” Prashant and she looked at each other and then they both looked at me.

“Who is copying whom?”

“Alright if you are not, by the Prashant, what do you think about this situation?”

“We should find another route.”

“Yeah, this is also looking like a dead end, but I want to be here for a while.”

“You shouldn’t be. Let’s go.” I came out of there and I walked alongside him and put my hand around his shoulder and he looked at me and then looked away.

“I can understand the reason for her to not come in, but why didn’t you come inside? You are not at all in a relationship with the king, then why didn’t you come in?” I asked him and he looked at me again and again looked away.

“I just saw her outside and standing there. I didn’t feel like going inside. That is why I didn’t you to come inside and you even have to go outside.”

“That I know because she wasn’t able to come inside and I think there was no more way to get there. That is why I had to go back. But one thing is making me worry.”

“And is it?”

“Should we believe in this girl?” We both looked at her and she also looked at both of us.

“What?” She asked and we both shook our heads and then we both looked at each other.

“I guess we should trust her.”

“But she is looking loyal to her king and what if one day she would attack us and kill us, then?”

“Aren’t we that strong that we can fight with her?” I smirked.

“So you really think that we can fight with anything?” He sighed before he shook his head. “But then, also, we can’t trust her just like we had. We trusted Tiara, though you were trusting her. But yet, I couldn’t trust her until I could get the proof that she can be trusted, but I can’t trust her just like that. I can’t trust her just like that.” He stopped walking and looked at me like he had seen a ghost.

“What?” I asked and he shook his head.

“It is really up to you whom you want to trust. I know that you can’t trust her at all and you don’t have to trust her either, because it is not like that. In the end, you will be able to be with her even after you fight with,, king.”

“That is also right. But then, also, we have to be careful about her and it is not like that I have to do anything with her after the fight, but right now, we have a connection and that is, to go towards the castle together and her being loyal to him is something that I salute, because everyone should be true to their land and she. is, then what is the problem in that? But I am worrying that maybe before I reach there she can kill us.”

“Then we will be prepared well for that moment.”

“I know that you should be like this only and I like this a lot about you and that is why you are also my best friend.” I said and I bumped our shoulders with each other and he looked at me and then shook his head.

“I don’t know where I have fallen.”

“With me.”
