"Welcome sir welcome,what you will like to take sir,"the boy asked me,and I looked at my friend's for some help.
"Would you be having chicken soup,and a biryani,"Farhan asked with a brimming face.
"No sir, we don't have such things"came the reply from other side.
"Then get us that what you are having,"I said.
"Ok sir"he moved inside the gate and we sat on the small brown, low bed's.
"From where they would have got such things,it's really unique"Goku said when he got quite down on that sort of beds or whatever they were.
"They are very old sir my father bought it when he was young like me "the boy was hearing us and there was a small hole in the wall from where he was clearly visible.
"It seems"Farhan said in a joking manner.
"So this means that you are living here from your childhood".
"Yes sir my grandfather first came here and after that we descended him here only,not many people came here sir,from where you are sir?"he asked.
"From….".
"Chittor".
I was going to give him the answer that we are from where but Goku immediately took the name of a place which we had not seen till now,and I immediately understood why did he say that.
"Why not many people come here?"Farhan asked though he was knowing the reason,as he asked this the face of the boy turned yellow.
"Sir who would like to spend their vacations in such a remote place."
He handled the matter very smartly,he didn't tell us that the place was haunted and it was a good step for his business because he would have thought that if he exposes the truth then may we will also move from there.
"Yes that's true, we also reached here incidentally don't you know that we got down from a car?".
"Yes I gave a look to it".
"That man cheated us and drove to such a place"Goku was handling the matter very nicely.
"It happens sir the world is very bad"he said and came out with three plates.
There was something unknown in it,some liquid and two different circles completely different from each other.
"What's this?"I exclaimed looking at it's irregular shape.
"Its bati and churma sir."
We looked at him with a very strange face, what he told now went above from our head.
"Please repeat the name."
“Churma, bati sir, it's very delicious you would surely love it"he said like every sales man.
"Ok what goes in tasting,"Goku said and picked one small circle with a bit hard covering ,dipped in the liquid kept aside and then directly in the mouth,there were expressions of satisfaction on his face.
"It is what?"he asked while chewing it.
"Bati sir and the other one is churma did you like it sir.".
"Yeah it's very different but the taste is very nice,"said Goku and picked up another one,seeing him we also started eating it like hungry tiger's,the churma was a sweet dish,very tasty,completely vegetarian .
"From where did you learnt this,"Goku asked with an anxiety.
"From my father sir, he was a very good cook.".
"Will you teach me to make it?".
"Sure sir."
We thought that Goku has completely lost his senses, he was asking such a person to teach him this sort of dish.
"I would be coming to you soon for this,but now we should go,"Goku said giving him his money after we had finished,which he took happily.
"Not this sir"he said returning a five dollar note.
"But you should take it it's the advance fees for teaching me"Goku replied.
“By the way what's your name ".
"Lo- chan saruki sir"he replied the name was unique but without taking the talk forward we took our way,towards our destination"The puppet".
"The boy was nice isn’t he?"Goku said when we took the turn.
"Yes he was a good one but why didn't he tell us about the true identity of this place he should have told us,"Farhan questioned.
"Well there would be any reason, what we had to do with it,but the diet was nice and heavy".
"So much heavy because I am now not feeling it right to walk"Farhan said moving his hand on his stomach.
"My friend, we had to face that angry men there accompanied by Mr Yaseen if they would ask us that where were we till now then what we would say?"I put forward one another point to think.
"We will say that we were hungry so we stopped to have some food"Goku said without thinking that what will be our images in their eyes when we will say this,we kept on walking for the next twenty minutes and then got a glimpse of the bus of our mates.
"We are near now."
"Remember your names na they will only be the things which should be taken cared of".
"Yes we will, now please someone tell me what to do because I don't think we will be allowed to enter there with such an appearance"Farhan was now also thinking about the clothes.
"Lets see what happens"Goku said.
We opened the door of that big hotel, ‘The puppet’,Mr Guptill with Mr Yaseen was standing at the counter.
"Who are these men through them away from here Amit,how many times I would remind you that I don't want beggars here."
The man at the counter was talking about us,we were sure that Mr Yaseen would told him that we are with him but he didn't do anything and kept on looking at that drama ,a man came, hold our collars and pulled us out.
"If I found you near this shop again then the result would not be so good ok, so think a hundred times before entering here"he said to us.
I was so much angry at that time that if Goku would not have holded my hand then that man would have been in his grave.
"What's this, we are here for them and they don't even help us what rubbish is this?"I said in a very loud voice.
"Calm down,there would be some.."
"No ,what reason could be there, we are being insulted so much here and you are saying that there would be some reason,"I said before Goku completed his sentence,at that moment only the door of that hotel opened again and our two known person came out from it, they reached directly to us,before they would have spoken something, without any thought of from whom I was talking, I bursted on them.
"Why didn't you stop him sir,when we were being thrown outside,we came here for you and you are acting so raw,I did not think of you acting like this sir".
He remained quiet standing there,and when he noticed that I had completed he said"that was your punishment and exam both,punishment because you are late and exam because I was wishing to see how you will act with your friends when they will be shouting on you as your master and you are passed"Mr yaseen said with a serious face.For one minute we got into shock but the next moment only I controlled myself.
"But sir its not the right way, you didn’t care of our self-respect,for a minute".
"Didn't you hear the thought of that famous Indian Swami Vivekananda,he had said that in order to bring a change in someone's nature make an injury on the self respect of that man and I did the same now instead of complaining,please have your lunch you would be hungry"he said.
"Er."we looked at each other,"we had taken it already that's why we were late"Goku said .
"Ok then now what your plan is?"sir asked as if we were the only one who were planning everything till now.
"What you will say will only be our plan sir",Mr Yaseen smiled a little and then said"your mission is going to start from today's night itself,you will be accompanying Mr Ashlesh ",we were quite happy hearing his name.
"Where is he now?"Goku asked with an eagerness.
"He will be meeting you after today's dinner,he is also very willing to meet you people,now go to the room no. twenty five and have a good sleep because for the next two days I can't assure you that"Mr yaseen said and with Mr Guptill took his way for a walk.
"We will be again thrown outside sir,"I shouted.
"This time open your mouth and told the fellow that you are the caretakers"came the reply
from Mr Guptill,we were not knowing that this was the last time when we were seeing him.
"Thanks.”
We then moved inside and again happens the same thing but this time we were taken to the room no. twenty five by that man who had earlier thrown us outside,the room was small but it was ok ,we put our bags aside and then took a small sleep of some hours though, the eyes were just closed only but then also the tiredness went away.
"We will move down only before the dinner because the more we will be with them the more will be the danger of our truths exposure,"Farhan said.
"But I was thinking that we should again go to the place where we were taking lunch may he would be now having something different and new"Goku said who was now a fan of that shop.
"No we will take dinner here only with everyone else,"Farhan clearly refused to go there again.
We waited for sometime in our room only discussing the general issues,at eight o’ clock around, the sounds of our friends who were going for the dinner started coming,they were laughing and rejoicing,Gilani was making others frightened by saying some wrong assumptions about the place ,till now there was nothing unusual about the place ,everything was seeming good.
"Let them come first and then we will go,"Farhan said again.
"Pray the god that the dinner don't get finished just after they had completed with it otherwise we will have to remain without any food the whole night"I said.
I was able to control myself in any circumstances but not my hunger,I was having a fixed time to have my food and if that time crosses out then my temper began to rise up,it was a very usual thing with me.
"Now we should move, they would be at their last"I said after twenty minutes.
"Ok then we should move now give a look to my face,are the beards and moustaches fine ,"Farhan
