Chapter 4 - NEW PATH

BACK IN UK, SARA'S POV:'Hari are you fucking with me?' What do you mean by going in your place? Hari's response was surprisingly calm, her voice carrying a sense of reassurance. "Calm down, Sara," she said gently. "It's just four months. You have to dine there, and don't worry about getting caught. I've never been to India, and they have no idea about my facial features. It's been decades since we last contacted each other."Despite her soothing tone, I couldn't shake the feeling of unease that gnawed at me. The gravity of Hari's request weighed heavily on my shoulders, and i struggled to comprehend the implications of what she was asking me to do. Yet, amidst the turmoil of emotions swirling within me, a sense of loyalty compelled me to consider her plea.As i gazed into Hari's eyes, searching for answers in the depths of her gaze, i found myself torn between her sense of duty and the instinctive desire to protect myself from the unknown dangers that lurked in the shadows. In that moment of uncertainty, i knew that the choice I made would irrevocably alter the course of my destiny, plunging me into a world of intrigue and deception where nothing was as it seemed. My mind raced with conflicting emotions as I considered Hari's proposal. On one hand, the idea of escaping My mom's relentless matchmaking attempts and enjoying a peaceful vacation sounded like a delicious deal. Yet, a nagging feeling of unease lingered at the back of my mind, warning me to proceed with caution.After a moment of contemplation, I decided to seize the opportunity, albeit with a sense of trepidation. "Alright, Hari," I said, mustering up my courage. "I'll help you, but there's a condition. I'm Damn broke, and I can't afford the flights or my acting fee. If you want me to do this, you'll have to cover those expenses."my words came out awkwardly, tinged with a hint of embarrassment at having to admit my financial struggles. The thought of asking my mom for money was out of the question, knowing she would woop my ass for such a request.she chuckled and said "i have booked tickets u can take off tonight and my parents are on trip so no worthless stress about them and i texted u about there family names with pics so once scroll over them."I teasingly said how many years were planning to butcher me and why does it sounds like a trap to me! she just smiled half Heartly which gives me gut feeling that she is hiding something but shrudded off and went for packing all equipment need to embraced my new adventure.i stuffed whole wardrobe in suitcases which was bit challenging, but I am after all Sara Ryannan and had prayer for blessing . i embraced on mini exploration for cute attire, the white shirt caught my eye, which gives perfect view of my cleavage, Paired with black cargo pants with matching gold jewels with sandals.I seated on my bed staring at my phone tirelessly for her text to drop me off to airport. I lay my back on bed while staring at ceiling with anticipation buzzed in my stomach for adventurous journey to Rameshwaram . I had unapologetic thing for spy or thriller series. I got interrupted by text sound , i rushed my way towards downstairs with cursing my damn suitcases for being fatass sneaking like pro and finally caught glimpse of Hari's car.After hell of boring traffic ride we made to our destination, i unloaded all bags and surprising sad sentiment spread across my chest for freaking so many years we went all trips together. i hugged her tightly, she gave me warm smile and said ' Don't be cry baby now, call me when u reach and don't worry i will tell aunt u went to USA for work'. I was blessed to have such good friend me without even mentioning she could tell , i Hope we would always be soulmates.As I bid farewell to Hari and boarded the plane, a sense of anticipation and joy filled knowing i were embarking on a journey back to my motherland after years of absence. The prospect of returning home ignited a spark of excitement in your eyes, illuminating your face with newfound enthusiasm.Navigating my way through the aisles of the plane, I found yourself in a comical struggle to locate my seat, as if time itself had slowed down in my quest. Finally, after what felt like an eternity, i stumbled upon my designated spot. My amusement turned to admiration as i realized Hari had secured the coveted window seat for me MY Girl really knows me, a thoughtful gesture that spoke volumes about her understanding of my preferences.As the plane soared through the skies, i allowed myself to sink into a state of relaxation, lazily stretching my limbs and letting my mind wander. The gentle hum of the aircraft served as a lullaby, coaxing me into a peaceful slumber where worries and troubles momentarily faded away.My restful reprieve was interrupted by the tantalizing aroma of a delicious meal being served, stirring my senses and awakening the growling hunger within. With a pang of hunger, i eagerly placed an order and indulged in each bite, savoring the flavors as they danced across my palate.In this fleeting moment, amidst the hustle and bustle of travel, I found solace in the simple pleasures of food and rest, grateful for the respite they offered from the chaos of everyday.I quickly memorized every family members identity like professional Spy. I am tired of showing off my skills that quote perfectly suites me "She eat and left no Crums". I chuckled at my silliness of shamelessly bragging . Plane successfully lands, my face lit up like fire with excitement, I Quickly rushed towards exit of airport like i am teenage girl on school trip then i remembered hari repeatedly reminded me that someone would pick me up. The sudden eruption of chaos shattered the tranquility of my journey, leaving me stunned and disoriented as i found myself amidst a terrifying scene of conflict. My eyes widened in disbelief as i witnessed a clash between individuals wielding armored weapons, their actions fueled by what seemed like a clash of faiths.As i surveyed the tumultuous scene unfolding before me, a sense of dread washed over me, mingled with confusion and fear. It felt as though i had been transported to another time, perhaps to a tumultuous era in ancient India, where such conflicts were commonplace.Frozen in place, i grappled with the terrifying reality of my surroundings, unable to comprehend how i had ended up in such a perilous situation. The threat of violence loomed large, and i felt a wave of helplessness wash over me as i realized the gravity of the danger i was in.In the midst of fear and uncertainty, i couldn't help but lament the choices of my past , questioning whether my involvement in clandestine activities had led me unwittingly into this perilous situation. With every fiber of my being, i wished for a way out, cursing the circumstances that had brought me to this moment of terror. I cursed past me for being to much consumed in spy shit. Ya Allah just save Me. Out of no where i feel someone presence behind me calling in tamil language, i regret not learning Tamil . I musted courage and turned back to look who that person is ? as i turn around, i met with an unexpected sight. Standing before me is a striking young man. his piercing blue eyes, tousled hair that adds air of untamed elegance of his demeanor.Despite his youthful appearance, there's a maturity in his bearing, a confidence that borders on arrogance. Draped in a tailored suit that accentuates his muscular frame, he emanates a presence that commands attention, giving off a vibe of both authority and protection, like a silent guardian watching over unseen realms.I said with formal yet politely "I don't understand Tamil ". he looked at me with disappointment and said in English "Are you Hari Pillai"? I tried to ignore his looks and said with bit of mixture arrogant and confident tone "YES". "You are?" i inquired immediately into character as i knew everyone in Panikkar family this mysterious new face made me curious , he replied calm yet respectfully "I am Arvalan works for Kannan master". i suddenly got clicked he must be right hand of Kannan as i read Kannan had two main trusties. Wasting no time he asked me to seat in car to leave for mansion, i spared no effort to talk neither he did so it was uncomfortably Awkard for straight 2 hours but i was too busing enjoying breath taking view of village. Something caught my attention as soon as car stopped.
