In winter the climate is a bit humid and cold and chilly. We are walking from the underground passage one path led to the company and another part led to the forest. We take the path toward the forest. We reached the same place where bones and skeletons are scattered here and there. We have taken the straight path, and it felt like a never-ending path.
A harsh winter wind blew out of the midnight sky. It roared out of the frigid north and thrashed the brooking forest. The force of it bent trees, whipping their bare branches like angry lashes. Shrieking across the river. The night sky is very scary and worn out. Due to winter, the naked branches created a black trace work.
After walking for half an hour we are worn out and tired, we have eaten and drank some water from our bags. We saw a river flowing through the jungle, we drank some water and filled our bottles. Even the moonlight is not bright we hear and see the sound of the water dancing among the meadows. When we had our water we felt recovered and energetic as if we are in another world.
Suddenly we all felt very sleepy and we slept on the bank. When we heard about the chirping of the birds I woke up. I was laying on the bed and I saw other three people in the same room. I woke up and peeped out. the fused warm light of dawn now creeping down the summit bathed in sunlight. The place is very beautiful.
Green trees and juicy grasses mesmerize the atmosphere. The fresh air is touching the face it feels like mother nature is so beautiful here. One man came inside the room knocking. He is so handsome and told to us, gentlemen are you all fine? Yesterday you all seem exhausted and slept, so I felt pity on you and bought you here.
Let me know if you want something. I will serve you. I asked," Brother who are you and what is this place? He said we will talk after having breakfast. Our room has an attached bathroom and freshen up ourselves. We are given clothes to change and invited inside the small dining hall.
It is not as specious as it should be, but it is fine and clean. We saw a man entering the hall, he is same as seven feet tall and well built, and good-looking. He will be in his sixties but, not look like that. He wore specs and black hair. It is not at all white. He is talking to someone while entering the hall.
As Aniket saw him, he stay stunned and doesn't move from his place. I asked, "Uncle what happened, why you are stunned to see this person? He is Ramakanth, my childhood friend. Seeing his expression I got stunned in the shock we cannot move forward towards the dining hall. After talking to the guy he came towards us.
We were shocked and we cannot say a word. He came toward us and hold our hands and made us sit at the table to serve us breakfast. We still can't move from our place. He offered us tea, and its aroma is breathtaking. I had eaten something but, does not know what. After breakfast, we washed our hands and took the plates to wash. He said, "You are our guest you do not need to do all the work. He called one woman from outside and told her to clean everything.
She went to do her work and finished soon. Then he took us to walk, I asked, "Sir, who are you, why you are staying here, far away from the people and the society? Ramakanth turned towards Aniket," Hi my friend don't you recognize me? I am Aniket your college friend.
Ramakanth said, "You are alive my friend. Ankit asked," Why you are staying away from your family? I am still distracted to go. Even my wife is with me but I am never able to see my son, I am still searching for him. Every passenger or traveler comes this way I just take care of injuries and do not find my auras in the persons whom I rescue.
I was stunned to hear that. Father left the country for my sake, tears flowed down from my eyes and I felt like hugging him. I cannot do that because am only admire him from the outside. I just cannot control my feeling.
Ramakanth asked," How come you are here, why you are with those youngsters? Aniket said," They came here to find the mystery behind the missing and recover the people here. Aniket approached me, and said, "Rudra, I think your mystery is solved. I went near to my father, I bowed towards him. I said," Sir we are here to take you to the world which you created when you are young.
Ramakanth Shocked," Who are you, why you came here and why should I believe you? I said, "Uncle just peek into my eyes and tell me what you are seeing. I hugged him, and look into his eyes. In my eyes he saw an image of the Griffins, he understood that I am the person who he is searching for me.
He said," My son was where you for this long, Me and your mom are missing you so much, don't. I am glad to see you, you look the same like me when I was young. I said, "Dad you still look handsome but I never expect that I will find you this easily.
Aniket looks each other and said, so you boy you lied to me. I said," Uncle keep quiet don't panic. I asked, "Dad will you come to your world tomorrow then I have to prepare so many things there. He accepted but I asked Dad why you are hiding for this long. I will tell you. Aniket interrupted, and said," First tell me why you are here and why you have not told me a lie while you accompany me. I said," I am a military officer, and a member of a special squad If I reveal the truth to you. I will be removed from my job.
Our every operation should be kept secret and we should not do anything which makes our squad doubtful. After I joined the squad I was given small cases and I solved them easily. After three years of service, I was given the job of missing mysterious creatures from the earth, and the squad came to know that they are killed for saliva, venom, and teeth.
I never expected that I will be among one of the mystical creatures myself. My body and structure keep growing fastly I have done so many things during the age group, twelve to sixteen. I joined the army because I want to see my biological father and mother.
Ramakanth eyes filled with tears he hugged me tightly, by the way, where are mother and dad, I turned to Aniket and said, "Now you cleared your doubt uncle. What will happen next just wait and see.
