It was more than a week since Ripun had arrived in this differnt world. On one hand it was a unique view for her as it was completely different from her world as it was full of palaces and mansions, she could see as far her sight could collect, though she hadn't been to many places but only once she had gotten a chance to go outside to buy things necessary for herself..... she had felt as if she had done some time travelling.... as if she was in a time period of late 1970's when it came to dresses and the view of the outside world.... Maya accompanied her while going out for the shopping. She was a tall slim lady as Ripun herself was quite tall but she wasn't as lean as Maya. Ripun had a curvy figure but she was quite attractive. She had become a good friend of Maya due to her jolly nature, her smile was captivating. Lord Charles kept getting feedback from Maya and Mark about her as he was too busy in his business. He was himself a chief figure in political and social life. He had high reputation when it came to his lifestyle and status. He was quite popular all over Port Valour...the city in which he resided. Having Ripun by his side had been a huge assurance to his heart,though it wasn't as it seemed. He knew he had to struggle hard if he wanted her by his side, given her previous life. Ripun considered her a kind hearted man but it was due to the impression she had had knowing him for a few days. He was a man who could make his enemies tremble with his name merely. Ripun had been doing fine though she asked about her family at times from Maya.
Seeing her, Maya could only say words of encouragement as she couldn't reveal what she had been told to do by the lord. Maya had been using her powers to know about Ripun's teleportation in their world as what had triggered her arrival. For the secret to uncover, she needed a month's time....the particular auspicious occasion when her powers would be at the best, she had assured Ripun that she would try her best. Right now she knew that both the worlds were quite different when it came to time. The other world's single day was equal to ten days in their world. So it wasn't a big deal if Ripun had been away from her family. But for family's assurance she jad sent a letter to her family that she was on a trip and didn't want to come back to them for a month...it was all due to lord's persistence.Maya knew that if the truth gets uncovered.... it wouldn't be good for what had lord had planned to keep Ripun by his side.But there wasn't much she could do about it as she was well aware of what the lord was capable of doing. Maya didn't oblige the lord out of fear but respect. There were many things that she owed to the lord. So it could be said that of all the people that the lord could trust, Maya and Mark held special place.
