My Story:Tripurti Part 11

 

"Sharma, good morning!Aadhi here, have you waken up."Aadhi begins his wake up call while knocking the room's door. It's 7.13 when I grabbed my phone to see the time, definitely morning since bright sunlight shone directly to my face. All I remember was tuning my headset to listen to my favourite songs last night and could not figure on when I plunged into a deep sleep. 

"Hey dude, I'm coming!"begin walking toward the door after keeping well with my pyjamas."Good morning Aadhi, thank you for the wake-up call .Give me some time to get ready and pack my stuff. Have you taken your breakfast?"

"Sure, Sharma but try to be quick since this hotel doesn't have breakfast so we need reach out for breakfast next door. We shall wait for our guide there, between I promised to meet him at 8. Are you okay with this arrangement?"Aadhi is a real gentleman that I have ever met, someone with good planning, sharp mind and sensitive on positive sides. Definitely, I can't say more with just a few days of the journey but I trust him and of course, I am in a safe hand now. I need to move on quickly as I do not intend to trouble Aadhi. Took a very quick shower, simple makeup and packed all my belongings. Left the small lowly room by thanking before step out, my usual manner whenever I depart from the hotel room I stayed, wherever it be. My mom used to laugh at me for doing so but I felt that I need to give this small gratitude to the room for keeping me safe within.

          Aadhi was sipping a cup of coffee served by the hotel admin upon check out. They are kind enough to serve a cup of coffee to help their clients kick start the day especially person like me who always wish to smell coffee to flourish the day."Hey Sharma, come, let's have a coffee, do you drink coffee?"Aadhi seems resistance while helping to pour the coffee in the cup."Of course, I miss the fun of the day without beginning with coffee, "all of a sudden I remembered the meme for a coffee advertisement published a few years ago. Absolutely not addicted because I still survived days without coffee previously yet I observe coffee drinking as the luxury gravity for the day. Then we headed to a shop just next door with our luggage to grab a good breakfast, I believe this good source of energy would keep me going throughout the day. Small village-style food shop with very limited south Indian foods such as chapati,tosai, idly, vada and beverages. The idly was delicious with the curry and reminds my mother too, I missed her so much. But neither I nor she very used with this kind of segregation especially when I had to travel pertaining job for a few days. My mom is the backbone for the confidence and encouragement that I'm boasting now, perhaps she always wanted me to stay independent.

      "Good morning sir, madam!I'm Hari and this my friend Ashok, are you Mr Aadhi?" an unfamiliar voice whizzed through while we enjoy our breakfast."Yes, I am, so you both will help us in Tripuri? Between meet, Ms Sharma, two of us here to explore the place, "Aadhi got up and greeted them in a usual manner."I remain sitting but gives a grin while munching the idly."Yes sir, but it's just me. Ashok will help us to carry your things till we reach the place since we have to walk through the forest," says the man, his English seems good enough to understand."Perfect, we will join you in a while after done with our breakfast, maybe another 10 minutes. Is that okay for you both?"Aadhi asked them.
"Sure sir, no problem. We shall wait, take your time," they walked and sat at the bench outside the shop and ordered a tea in their unique dialect which seems difficult to figure out. Everything seems ready for the start, I'm hoping so all goes well then after.
