I felt anguish. I hated my existence. I almost killed my friends. I went near the edge of the cliff and clenched the fist. I tightly closed my eyes and jumped off from the cliff.
Suddenly I felt a touch on my hand. I opened my eyes and found myself lying on the lap of kirthika.
"Aaranya, are you alright?"
I uttered no words. She patted my head, "what happened aaranya? What did you experienced in the illusion"
I said everything that happened at the illusion. Kirthika was extremely shocked.
"Kirthika, because of my greed, I lost my friends, I wished to live a happy life with my friends. My desire, made them suffer"
"Aaranya, don't lose your hope, if your friends entered in to the spherical space- time, they will be safe, spherical space time has habitable planets similar to your planet. So don't lose your hope, still some chances left. I promise you that I will soon find your friends"
"I no longer wish to stay here kirthika, I loathe karan, If I get a chance to meet him, I might kill him for his actions"
"Cool down aaranya, I don't know how my brother changed in to a cruel person. I will try to change him in to a better person. He was the only family I have. Because of him, I lived, otherwise I would have killed myself after my parents death."
"I believe you kirthika" I hugged her and she firmly kissed my forehead.
"Aaranya, now run away"
"What?"
"Karan is actually preparing for the engagement. He will do anything to get you. It's not safe for you to stay here in the world of blossoms. So hide in the world of beasts. Someone is waiting for you there"
"Someone is waiting?..I don't get kirthika...whatever.. I believe you"
Suddenly veer jumped from the tree, we both went extremely shocked.
"Sorry, I just eavesdropped a little, and aaranya I will accompany you to the world of beasts"
"No veer, if we both went missing at the same time, everyone might get suspicious. So better stay here and keep my secret"
"aaranya, I will guide you to the border. After that you can go on by yourself"
"ok veer"
Kirthika handed me a bright green stone.
"aaranya, this stone is called peridot. We can both communicate through this stone for twice. Whenever you are in danger, whisper my name to this peridot and soon I will find your location through this stone"
"thanks kirthika, hope we meet soon"
"bye, aaranya"
I moved from the world of blossoms with veer. We almost reached the border.
