7.The Diary
Diksha's POV:
Days passed really quickly and the date of department was near. Tomorrow we were going to start the Journey. I was really excited and happy about it, but I don't know why, inside in a corner I was a bit scared...
I was home sitting on the bed watching tv. I was watching 'The Voice India Kids' when I saw the diary on the desk. I grabbed it and went to take a hammer, so that I could break the lock.
Finally I found it and went back to my room. I took the diary and put it on the desk. I grabbed the hammer in the right hand and the lock in the left. I tried to break it down, but nothing happened. I tried the second time... "Ahhh!!!" I shouted. The hammer hit my finger! Stupid hammer! I gathered some courage and tried the third time. Finally the lock broke!! I took it out.
I opened the first page of the diary. There were informations about the owner. I was shocked to see the name on it... that couldn't be possible! It was written: Pawan Sharma... my grandfather!!! Oh My God! Why didn't I notice this diary before! Tears started flowing... I turned the page. There was written 2nd December 1999:
Finally I brought a diary! I really needed it. My life is making big changes, sometimes nice and sometimes bad. I want to share my points, my views and my opinions with somebody, that is not possible... so I thought why don't I share them with something. Now you are going to be the thing that I trust. I'm happy that I have a friend.
Life is going well... I have everything that a normal person would like to have. I have luxury and my family. Actually in this days I noticed that I'm becoming old... but I still have strength. I've got a promotion. The staff is saying that I'm going to retire soon, but before that I must complete a task...
Tha task is to find last fossil in my life. They gave me the location, I just have to explore that. It is a certain Sterkfontein, I haven't got much information about it, but I will write every single thing in this diary that I find about the place. I'm kind of excited about it but at the same tume it scares me when I think that this is going to be my last trip and after that... retirement...
That's all it was written on that date... I was really very shocked when I red Sterkfontein. Where is the destiny taking me?! Is the history repeating?
I wanted to read more but I couldn't because I promised to my cousin Ishika that I will go to her house for sleeping... I decided that I will read the diary when I will go to Sterkfontein.
Later on...
In Ishika's house:
I pressed the doorbell. Soon, Ishika opened the door.
"Hey Diksha!! Kesi ho tum?" She asked with a smile plastered on her face.
"Me mast hu... tum batao?" I answered entering the house.
"Haan me bhi think hu..." she said.
"Hmm... toh tum kya karna chahoghi? Abhi toh sirf 8 baje he" Ishika said.
"Uhmm... pata nhi" I said thinking.
"Tumne kuch khaya kya? Bhuk toh nhi laghi?" She asked.
My belly made a weird sound after she said the word "khaya". She looked at me. I looked at her. We both burst in a laughter.
"Chal khana khate he pehle" she said. I nodded.
"Pizza order kare kya?" Ishika asked me.
"Jaise tumhati marzi" I said.
"Chal chal... pata he mujhe, tumhare andar toh laddu phut rahe honghe!" She exclaimed.
I chuckled. We odered the pizza and waited for the delivery.
The pizza boy came in half an hour. We gave him the money and sat on the the sofa.
"Woh, fidge me 2 cans padi he coke ki... le ke aa ja" Ishika said.
I took the cans and came back.
"Tujhe pata he? Ek nayi film nilkli he... MS Dhoni The Untold Story" I asked her.
"Haan... mere paas toh dvd bhi he." She said. I widened my eyes.
"Toh dekh kya rahi he? Laga na!" I said in excitement.
She put the film... we started eating pizza as the film started.
The film finished after 3 hours... a long time. After we fall asleep.
********
I woke up earlier at the Morning. I left Ishika's house and went to mine. I've already packed everything. I put the diary in my my luggage and we left for the airport.
As I reached there I saw Zaan already waiting for us.
"Yaar kitna wakt laga diya tum logo ne aane ko? Bohot wakt se wait kar raha hu tum dono ka!" Zaan said as we walked to him.
"Isko pucho! Yahi gayi thi apni cousin ke yaha gayi thi!" Aarti yelled.
"Sorry yaar, bohot wakt go gaya tha use dekhe hue isi liye uske pas gayi thi..." I said.
"Kuch nhi hota. Ab chalo, nhi toh flight chut jayeghi!" Aarti reminded us.
"Arey haan! Chalo!" I said.
We did all the formalities and sat in the plane. Our seats were together so we talked to each other. There were also the tablets on the seats. Aarti and Zaan started playing and watching movies.
I soon fall asleep...
