Sikharpur days (new meet-2)

Parvati was holding Lata's hand tightly. Earlier the boys would have been surprised about the fact that she could squeeze their hands but couldn't even touch a flower outside the cave, but now Parvati was trained enough to physically handle most of the materials outside. She is still invisible to others and they feel privileged to have this miracle for themselves.


Its the magical valley, where they first met Parvati. With it's beautiful and mysterious flowers and fruits, with lot more to be explored too. The small animals were friendly and curious while there is absence of any dangerous animals to be wary of.

Lata and Parvati went to collect flowers while the boys decided to explore the valley again. Dhanush went to the north, while Sambhu and Lochan towards the South. Today's mission was to collect some fruits and water from the stream. Most of these things become normal once they went outside the cave and lose their distinct flavors, so they had decided to relish them in the valley itself rather than bringing them to their home.

" Parvati, how are you feeling now?" Lata asked as she was concerned about her well being.
" I am good. Look how healthy I am, " Saying so, Parvati jumped in the air and ran in a circle.
"Alright, you look great, let's play now" Lata laughed by her funny display.
" But first lets talk about how was our week, how was your village doing?" Parvati questioned as she went and sat besides Lata.

And so, the two girls got busy in their talks and gossips as they plucked some wild flowers and stitched garlands and other structures from it.

Its was noon and sun had just went on the top of their head, so the girl shifted their sitting place towards a shadow of a tree. The boys have returned too with their gatherings.

" Lata, take these berries and apples and serve them in a plate." Dhanush requested Lata while transfering the contents of his bag to her.
" Also take the water, I have collected it myself." Lochan hurriedly gave the bottle to her.
" What are you competing for?" Sambhu teased Lochan and had a hearty laugh.

The children had their lunch in merry. They laughed and talked about their adventure and plans for the evening.

" So, Parvati, can you go outside now?" Dhanush asked her.
" Yes, I am refreshed, we can again go out in the forest." Parvati answered.

" Then we can hangout in out secret house!" Sambhu joined excitedly.
"So, that's we will do tomorrow." Dhanush decided and others nodded their head in unison.
