Chapter 22 - Incredulous Path

After breakfast ,we went for a walk .

Ava joined me and asked " What happened to you last night "

"Ava please leave me alone for sometime "I said to Ava .

"But ....why ?" she asked .

"I don't want to talk about last night "

"But what happened last night ?"

I stooped and gazed at her for sometime and replied "Were you at the terrace ?"

"Terrace ?No I didn't went anywhere from my bed after 9:00 clock"

"You are lying .You were trying to afraid me "

"Believe me Allice or not I was not there "

"Then who was there?"I asked .

"May be that person or ghost who wants that book from you "

"Person and ghost ?"

"yes the person who came in your room ,whom you saw ,who took your diary "Said Ava .

"Oh yes but what he will want? "

"He was saying about that book ,so may be he wants that book "

"Ava ?"

"Yes ?"

"How do you came to know that what Ava I mean what that person as asking from me in your face?"

"I.....I ..... You told me Allice "

"No ..I didn't told you anything ."

"No..... You ....You told me at night while you were sleeping "

"Ava you are lying I didn't told you anything ."

"You told me .You have forgot .Come let's go there ."said Ava .

I started following her but I was feeling that she knows everything about that night .

I decided to not tell her anything else .We enjoyed the walk and went back .

We reached our hotel and packed bags and started our journey ."Allice you know our next journey is very adventurous " Said my father .

"Adventurous .How ?" I asked .

"We are going to a track "

"Track ? which track "

"Its Zip track "said my father .

"What is there ?"

"It is a dangerous track for adventurous people leading towards national park "

"Is it really dangerous "

"It is but not that much . It is very steep and very long .We will accommodate a hotel there and will pack only useful things for a journey .It is 11 ,we will reach there by half an hour and will start our journey at 1 .We will reach at national park by crossing a mountain at 4:00 clock . Because our next journey is more dangerous ,we will avoid going there at night . So we will stay in a hotel and will continue our journey the very next day towards a mountain for hiking ."

"Oh wow .We will enjoy too much there ."Jacob replied After listening all this.

"You know what there are many wild animals there "my father replied .

"So what if they attack us ."Said Jacob.

"Don't worry my son ,there will be many more people with us"

"And look it has started raining ,let's on the music"my father replied .

And we really enjoy the drive along with loud music .At last we reached the hotel around 12:15 and ate snacks and packed useful things . My father and uncle parked the car at a ver safe place .Jacob and Leo packed snacks too. My mother packed some water bottles because it was quiet a long journey. Because it was raining we wore rain coats and took umbrellas too. We packed some clothes because we knew that it will take more than week for us to come back. At last,we started our journey through the track . Me and Ava were ignoring each other but were together .

"Dad why are you in a hurry?" asked Leo.

"It is because we have reached late ."

"Yes according to me we should reach around 11 but we reached at 12:15 ,so if we want to avoid wild animals and this jungle we should reach at the hotel which is situated 4km before the national park ."replied my father .

"How much time will it take to reach that "Forest Hotel "?asked Jacob .

"It will take 4-5 hours .We will reach there by 5-6 "

"Oh it is too long .I am tired .let me drink some water "said Leo .

"But we have just passed 15 minutes on this track Jacob " Said Ava .

"But I am tired "

"Ok drink it .Allice why are you so quiet " asked my father .

"Nothing I am tired too .You continue the journey .We both will join you after sometime "

"Ok be safe ."said my father ,and they went away .

While Me and Jacob were drinking water sitting on a large stone .Many other tourist were passing .

"Allice ,Allice look "said Jacob .

"What what is there .What you saw Jacob ?"I asked .

"That little boy "

"Which little boy "

"That we brought in our home "

"Oh yes there is it .But how he came here and who is with him "I asked .

"May be his parents "said Jacob .

"Look Jacob he is smiling on us "

"No he is not smiling on us .He is just seeing us ."

"Forgot come let's follow him .He is there "

And we followed that little boy . There were many more people .We thought that he has gone with the crowd ,but suddenly we saw that little boy sitting on a stone .

We went to him and talked to him for the second time .
