Chapter 16 - One Place She Likes

"Garden." She finally responded. It's not like, they don't know, she just wants to get the hell out of this place. Understanding this girl is much easier than understanding alphabets. But, what can they do? Chaol is afraid his brother might remain single forever if this girl leaves the Palace.

While Jacob was a bit scared that he might never get to meet her, the moment she left this Palace. So, despite her discomfort, they both were trying to make her like this place and the people here.

Again after a long detour,they took her to a peculiar door. " There is a garden next to this door. Have fun." Chaol said, then he left for the roof tower to watch over the duo, to whom he was leaving alone with a bit of hope. After all, he was sure, this girl will surely gonna like the place inside.

Maybe, it will help the little flower of feeling blossom in them.

But to Chaol's utmost distress,after Chaol left, next was Jacob to follow the pursuit. He said; " I will call Mirinda, to show you your room, after the stroll.Good night." And he too left from there, leaving her standing near the door of the garden.

Soon, a girl named Mirinda came, who said she would wait for Sara to finish her stroll and then will lead her to her room. Sara just nodded, then opened the door and was shocked by what she saw.

' Is it really a place on Earth?' ' Wow! Sara, are you sure you aren't dead yet?' ' But if I am dead, then I will enter hell, why is it heaven?' And Sara confusedly and dazedly stared at the place which was like the Garden of Eden. Or more ethereal than that.

[ Guys, firstly i wanted to describe a beautiful garden. But then, I watch this movie ; Munna Bhai M.B.B.S. And there was this scene in the song (Chan Chan), which made me feel like, why can't I use it in my story.

After all, it's a royal palace. So, how can it has a normal garden. It has to be really ethereal, isn't it! So, here we go.]

The so-called garden was breath-taking because of the setting. There was a long and broad Banyan tree in the middle of the Garden. And there were little soft pebble engraved in the soil, make a path till the Bark of the Banyan tree. On the right side of the garden was an artificially created waterfall, whose origin was most probably on the third floor of the palace.

The water was flowing from there and getting accumulated at the little lake, which was touching the right side of the Banyan tree. But it wasn't this calm and soothing water, than was enough to capture the breath away of people. It was the mist, which was originating from the surface of water nearby the water fall spreading till the lake area, giving the feeling of being floating in the cloud, that make the scene ethereal.

As if the Royals really know how to enjoy the beauty of nature. At one of the main branch of the Banyan tree was tied a swing made of flowers,branches and twigs, looks just as beautiful and strong as Rapunzel's hair, when they were tied by those village girls.

The swing was in the middle of the lake, shwocasing the lake wasn't that deep, to not to dive in it. Just imagine, enjoying the swinging ride when your feet come in direct contact with cold water, when your body get surrounded with white fog or mist. As if it wasn't enough, the left side of the Banayan tree was filled with soil, grass, herbs, shrubs, flowers, little trees, small birds like cannaries, sparrows,parrots and many more, insects like butterflies, firelflies, animals like rabbit.

Making her feel more happy. She look at the sky and my goodness. After a really very long time, she finally found her favourite ; starry sky. The fragrance of the roses, of the tulips, of the lilies, of the orchids, of the marigold, of the jasmine were filling the atmosphere, making her mesmerized by it. She just kept on starring at the large space called garden, which was giving cool breezes, all thanks to the little lake, who carries many trees as the boundary thing around it surface, which carries both land and water as per the user's preference. It even carry swing for her to get lost in her own world, her world with her holy mother, with Nature.

There was a sitting area too, for those who get tired of walking constantly and needs some rest. This place, aka garden which was almost about 5km long and 6km wide, spread within large area, must have been the best creation of human to get along with Mother Nature. There were no walls, no roofs, nothing just Mother Nature and it's glory.

So, before her brain could act, her body already react. So, before she knows it, she was already removing her shocks and shoes, to get the swing ride. Once she placed them aside, then she ran all the way to the swing. But after reaching at the lake side, she didn't haste, even with the mist covering it, the water was crystal-clear and the pebbles in it could be clearly seen.

After some moment, with some courage she added her hallux (foot thumb) first in the water accompanied slowly by the rest of the toes and then the foot to measure the depth of water, only to get happy, when the water reaches very below her knees only and some space up her leg, above the ankle.

Soon, she let her trouser and overcoats get wet in the water , while approaching the blosom swing. Then, she was enjoying the rides. Her dark brown hairs, which were tied in a waterfall style [ the one of that of Anna of Frozen ] were trying their best to touch the surface of the water.

As they also want to enjoy the coolness. Then she was already enjoying with her hair and feet competing with each other to get more of the water to themselves.

Now, the only thing that was missing was music. But the birds made up for it, by their chirpings. Soon, the pink, yellow, blue, purple flowers started flowing from nearby trees right in her direction, as if even the dieties of heavens were showering the rain of flowers to appease her.

The fireflies lit the atmosphere, turning the foggy place magical. And she was having real fun for the first time, in the last 24 hours.

Suddenly a question pop up ,When was the last time, when she felt so-connected with Mother Nature. Answer: no idea.

Chaol, who was disappointed at his brother for leaving the beauty all alone on her own, left for the gym, to spend his night training like a soldier. While Jacob just kept on staring at her from his balcony, with a smile. So, finally there exists a place in this Palace, which she likes.

Despite having the mountain of files and tasks at hand, he was busy starring at the moon on the Earth. His Moon, who was shinning so brightly amidst the darkness, who was giggling cutely, who was letting her feet touch the water, then would giggle out loud as if someone has cracked a funny joke. The same goes with her hair, the moment they will touch the surface of water, she will laugh. As if for her, it was more of a fun. The birds were busy singing making her to chat headlessly with them. Yep! He can clearly hear, how she, a human, was trying to communicate with the little birds, insects and animals there, who were also responding. But the thing was that, it was a chaos.
