"Let's just assume,' Dhanush paused while making a hypothesis, 'That this place is deep inside the cave since that's where we fainted. If that would be true, then there must be a route somewhere."
"But we have searched everywhere, there was no such path or openings." Sambhu said.
"What if we were magically transported to this place and this place is very far from ours.' Lochan added, ' It's even daytime here while you told us that it was near evening when we entered the cave, isn't it so?"
"Agreed, we came here in search of Lata, but she doesn't remember anything. But then what was that, the proclamations and tears of Lata !!" Dhanush said while looking at Lata.
"I don't know what you are saying, just what did I speak?" Lata said hesitantly, looking at Dhanush while being confused of the conversations they were having.
Everyone became silent for a while to get the hang of the situation, contemplating their options. Lochan was sitting near Sambhu, glancing Dhanush and Lata intermittently, trying to say something but then becoming mute.
Sambhu put his thumb and index finger on his chin, looking down. Dhanush was standing in between them, putting his hand on his neck, and circling around nervously. Lata and Parvati were sitting together, holding hands as Lata was observing her friend. She still couldn't get what they were saying but she knew that they were telling the truth.
"Lochan, do you want to say something?" Dhanush asked Lochan as he saw him looking at him.
"No..it's just that, something in my mind.." Lochan faltered as he tried to speak.
"Just say it, any ideas could help." Sambhu encouraged Lochan
"What if it's Goddess Sikhareswari divination since the cave is her abode. Then we might return if we pray sincerely." Lochan replied.
Everyone looked at him disbelievingly, as they only thought that gods would protect them. They thought that this illusion or whatever it was, done by some evil force. It was Dhanush who spoke first.
" We should see all options, but then why she sent us here...near Parvati home and into that valley?" Dhanush questioned.
"Also, the valley and the mountain trail were somewhat similar to our, what could be the explaqnation for that?" Sambhu too asked.
" May be because she thought Parvati was lonely.' Lata said cheerfully, 'That's why Goddess brought us here!"
Everyone was surprised of Lata's answer as she was not the one who would give her opinion. But that could be true too. They were not harmed rather sent to this beautiful place and Parvati was living alone there.
Suddenly a mist started to form around them as if supporting there thoughts. Everyone looked in amazement as a magical figure of women was formed in the air around Parvati. There were some instant thoughts started coming inside everyone's head. They remembered everything, what happened to them, how they reached there and most importantly, who was Parvati.
Everyone looked at Parvati in awe. She was actually a spirit of a young girl brought up as daughter of resident goddess. They were inside the cave but transported to another realm connected to the temple. Goddess wanted to ease the loneliness of Parvati and so she brought Lata to her. She also requested them to say nothing to Parvati and a route was opened to the outside of the cave so that they could return. Slowly the mist faded away.
" Parvati, I think we remembered the path from which we came." Dhanush said politely, 'We must return before evening as our parents might be worried."
" So, you would be returning, I wanted to play more." Parvati said sadly.
"Don't worry Parvati, I will come again to play with you." Lata said while hugging her,
" Yes, yes, we all will come to play with you." Sambhu added. Lochan nodded in support.
After having their farewell, they went inside that path to come to their physical realm. It was near morning when they came out of the cave. They hurriedly went down the mountain, past the forest to the valley. They collected their belongings out of the branch and rushed to their village. Everyone was happy and feeling delighted to have such an experience. Parvati would be there inside the cave waiting for them, and they can have lot many adventures. They have a new secret, something to look forward to, in their Sikharpur days......
