Abhi woke up from a deep sleep and got down from his bed. He went to a window on the east and opened the curtains. Morning greetings from the sun grazed his pale face.
As he stood there eyes closed, a mystery place of magic flashed his mind. It's that one place in the palace where he felt some power before.
Suddenly a few servants entered the room and started cleaning. Abhi went and took a bath. Like the doctor instructed, he carefully wiped his body without wetting the wounds. After he came back and the servants served him food.
Abhi had his breakfast and his doctor came to check on him. He informed Abhi not to do any strenuous activity but rest much. Abhi nodded and the doctor left the room giving him his medicine.
Abhi sat comfortably on his bed and closed his eyes to know about that power. He is feeling energised, reckless and very much curious.
He informed servants to not disturb him until he called. Everyone left the room quietly.
'Now let's begin,' Abhi thought to himself and focused.
Abhi slowly and steadily made his way towards the power. He searched for that power and after some time he found traces of leaking Mana. He followed it as his body was drenched with perspiration.
He's hardly able to withstand that power. He knows that he'll get caught if he continues but anyways he wanted to find who's power it is.
If he had trained his body more, he would have endured this but now he is clearly not been able to. So he withdrew trying and opened his eyes.
He now definitely knows that there is another being in the palace. What is it? He finds some familiarity with this Mana.
Did I observe this Mana previously? I would nott forget this kind of mana if I had met them. But why am I having this strange feeling?
'Maira.' Abhi felt Maira's power and he left his consciousness and fell on the bed.
Oak suddenly felt another power in the room where he is treating twins. He suddenly felt a strange but familiar one but his thoughts were interrupted.
'Cough Cough'
"Maira" Oak gasped seeing Maira wake up suddenly. He thought it would take more time for the twins to wake up from the slumber.
He was surprised and shocked by Maira's ability to overcome such a strong barrier. She successfully created the bond and came out of the slumber.
Maira opened her eyes and sat up on her bed all by herself like a normal healthy person. Yashoda entered the room unexpectedly.
"Oh My, Maira dear. You woke up!" Yashoda exclaimed and went near her. Her eyes turned red after seeing Maira.
"Can I have some water..?" Maira asked with a hoarse voice.
Yashoda handed water to Maira. After taking adequate water, the Maira throat becomes normal.
"What happened?" Maira asked while looking at Yashoda and Oak.
Maira turned to her side and found Ashmita in another bed and her eyes widened with shock. She tried to stand up but suddenly her legs gave up and she fell on the bed.
"Maira. Careful!" Yashoda held Maira by her shoulders and helped her to sit on the bed.
"What happened to Ashmita? Why is she sleeping here? Did anything happen to her?" Maira asked several questions.
Oak and Yashoda explained the situation to Maira. Maira lost in thoughts for sometime and sighed.
"Thank You Oak" Maira thanked him.
Oak was taken aback by Maira's words. Their first meeting is not pleasant and Maira always seems distant to him.
Oak just smiled and nodded his head.
"How long will it take to her to wake up?" Maira asked while looking at Ashmita.
"It depends on her willpower. I thought it would take one more week for you to wake up but I was clearly wrong." Oak stated.
"Yes, It all seems like a dream to me. I fought with so many things which I don't remember now and my body seems healthy but my mind is so tired" Maira said.
"I understand. You just have to have much sleep now.. Everything will soon become normal" Oak assured her.
"Yes Maira. Take a lot of rest. I will inform Aari and His Majesty. They are worried about you" Yashoda said with a smile.
"Ok Yashoda ma. Please inform Raji ma and Raghu dada too. They too might be worried about me," Maira informed Yashoda to which she smiled and nodded. Yashoda patted her head and left the room.
Oak and doctor elf left the room after treating Ashmita. Maira and Ashmita are left alone in the room and Maira is lost in her thoughts.
Oak and doctor elf reached their room. Oak drinks some tonic which is prepared by the doctor elf to supply energy to his body.
"I want you to investigate something," Oak suddenly stated.
"What is it, master?"
"While I was at Maira's bed, I experienced another energy in the room. I guess someone with magical powers is here."
"What?"
"Yes, just find it secretly and don't make any mistakes. I sensed it's powerful."
"But how are you so sure that person is powerful?" doctor elf asked.
"No one whose less than me in ability cannot stand my energy even for a few seconds but that energy remained sometime in the room. He/she didn't fully develop their technique but their energy is quite strong. So be careful and don't alert that person" Oak stated.
"Ok master. I will complete the task" doctor elf stated.
Oak nodded his head and went to bed.
Maira who lost in thoughts came back when she heard her mother Aaradhya's voice.
"Oh my dear. Did I disturb you?" Aaradhya asked.
"No Mother. It's fine" Maira replied with a smile.
"That's a relief. How are you feeling dear? Comfortable now?" Aaradhya asked worriedly.
"Yes mother. I am fine. Oak's been taking good care." Maira responded.
"He surely does," Aaradhya smiled.
"Aari let her take rest for sometime. We will come later" Shivraj stated.
"Maira, tell us if you need anything. Don't think about anything dear. Just try to get some sleep." Shivraj informed Maira gently.
"Sure father." Maira smiled.
"Ok dear. I won't disturb you anymore, go to sleep then" Aaradhya said and stood up.
"Mother, Father."
"Yes dear..?"
"Can I see Raghu dada and Raji ma for a few minutes." Maira requested.
