White milky stream of water falling above them and deep pool underneath gave the kids ample opportunity to spread their wings. The warm sun rays were acting as support to them from the chilling cold water. It was loud, and fun as the guys were swimming in the pool while Lata near the shore where it was little shallow to her liking.
" Dhanush, check out my new move that I had learned from swimming in the village pond." saying so, Sambhu took a deep dive and remain inside for a while. Before Dhanush could realize, Sambhu jumped behind him.
" That was fats, how did you do that," Dhanush seemed surprised and admired his trick.
"Lata, take that..." Lochan threw handful of water to her face and laughed.
"What are you doing, go play with Sambhu...let me take my bath in peace.' Lata scolded Lochan, ' I wonder where is Parvati, It would have been fun if she was here."
With his mischief ignored, Lochan lost his interest and went towards the boys. Sambhu and Dhanush were having diving competition. Lochan joined them, though he was no match to them. Lata watched them from far, from her secure location. She had learned swimming but still remain cautious as she had promised her father.
" The guys are really having fun, and the waterfall looks great, I want to stand underneath it." Lata sighed while enjoying the view.
" The what is stopping you, go have fun." a soft whisper to her ear startled her. She looked back only to see Parvati standing there.
" Parvati, where have you been? We were so worried that you might get lost in unfamiliar place." Lata said with a concerned voice.
" The way the guys are playing, they looked less worried about me," Parvati chuckled.
"Parvati..." Lata gave a fake pout, which make Parvati giggle more.
" No, no...I know you were worried as you are my best friend. But then...I can find you from above, is I ever get lost. Did you forget that I can fly?" Parvati sid with a smile.
" Yes..you can," Lata answered realizing the power of Parvati. The reason, the boys could play without concern was also because they believed in Parvati. But for her, she was a friend, a young girl of her age. It makes her forget sometimes that the girl is actually a spirit, a being similar yet different form her.
" Why so gloomy face, I am still your friend. Also...I have a surprise for you all." Parvati said with a cryptic sound. But first, let me join the bath. I will take you towards the waterfall."
Parvati took Lata's hand and slowly moved towards the fall. The rocks were slippery at first, but later it become deeper and she swam freely with Parvati by her sides. The boys had drifted from the fall and were busy in their diving games. They hadn't realized Parvati's presence. It was magical for Lata as Parvati took her hand and slowly floated above her as they reached the fall. Lata felt the pressure of water falling from above which was partially diverted by Parvati for making it easier for Lata.
" It's great..thanks Parvati for you help." Lata shouted.
" Don't mentioned it. Now we can play here for a while. Parvati started diving and smimming around her. Before long, it was noon with sun above their head. The boys had already gone towards the shore and waiting for Lata to come. They saw Parvati with Lata and shouted them to return.
" Hey. Lata, Parvati....come back. Its getting hot out here." Dhanush called them back.
"Let's go back, Parvati, " Lata puuled Parvati's hand as she was immersed in her play.
" Alright, I am coming back." Parvati answered and both returned slowly with Parvati holding hands of Lata.
" Parvati, when you come back?" Sambhu asked her.
" Just when you were doing your monkey dive!" Parvati said with a mocking voice.
" What did you say..?" Sambhu was offended.
"Now, now..don't fight." Dhanush stopped the.
" Let's have our lunch...Uncle gave us some delicacies!" Lata said as a diversion.
" Yeah..I am so hungry for the play." Lochan said.
" Yes, the lunch..now I can have it freely." Parvati too spoke as she had to eat silently in the village as the children ate with their hosts.
" Yes, let's have it, then Parvati can share the surprise, she talked about," Lata was still curious about it.
" Surprise...what surprise?" Dhanush and Sambhu said in unison.
"Ahh, the surprise...I will tell you all about it.....prepare for it!!" Parvati said with her mysterious laugh.
The children were curious...
