Chapter 3

PART 2 

 

 

It was after what seemed a long time that Aaliya along with her parents got into a big black limo. Aaliya's father sat in front next to the driver giving him instructions and directions, where as Aaliya's mom sat in the seat behind her husband working on her laptop. Aaliya sat behind her mother, where she can be alone.

Aaliya just wanted to go through her stamp collection as she always does when she is upset or nervous. She started to go through her collection and half way through she was lost in her own thoughts, and she later drifted into deep sleep.

(It was night by the time they reached Arihant)

 

Aaliya was awoken by the sounds of the limo's door opening and people moving about. She thus got up wiped her face and looked around for her parents. She saw her parents entering the cottage where they were suppose to stay; she was not surprised on being left behind.

 

 

Aaliya quickly ran to catch up with her mother, who then showed her the room that she would stay in.

Aaliya then said " see you at dinner" and entered her room. The room was very well decorated with beautiful black velvet sofas in one corner and in front of the sofas were placed a beautiful glass table.

 

The other side of the room had a large bed, which could accommodate at least five people. The bed was the same color as the sofas but she felt it was a little darker. The room was filled with loads of lights and all had their connections near the door.

Aaliya then slowly admiring the beauty of the room entered into it. There was nothing to do but to freshen up, have her dinner, change into her nightclothes and go to bed.

 

 

Aaliya freshened up and left her room to the dining hall to have her dinner along with her parents. While they were having their dinner, Aaliya numbered the days when the entire family sat together for a meal. This meal stood at number 4.

 

 

She finished her meal quickly and wished her parents good night and left for her room. She then entered her room. Though she knew there was nothing to do, she did not wish to change into her nightdress. She then recollected that she had forgotten to write her daily activities in her personal dairy.

 

She then went through her luggage and when she had finally found her dairy and a pen she began to fill it up with the days happenings.

 

Aaliya always filled her diary at the end of the day; it was a habit she had gotten into.

 

After she was completely satisfied with her entry, she closed it and replaced it from where she had found it. She looked at a clock near by and to her surprise the time was 11:30 and she would have to get up early the next day.

 

She then unwilling changed into her nightdress and got into the very comfortable bed. Though the bed was very comfortable, Aaliya found it difficult to sleep.

 

She had almost drifted into a place filled with peace when suddenly she heard a knock on the door.

Aaliya woke up with a shock,(she could make out the time in the dark and it was 12.)She was surprised as to who it could be this late.

 

She then got out of bed, as slowly as possible,(the knocking continued on the door but that did not bother her). Slowly she made her way to the door.

 

 

Aaliya's heartbeats started to rise. She took a deep breathe, told herself that she could handle anything that comes her way and pulled open the door…
