Feeling the breeze again, this time we reached at outskirts, in the mountains. Expected the scenry to be covered white, but pure green bliss was felt, small crops were grown on edges like a terrace. More or what seems stairs that reaches the mountain's peak. Stussy stayed at the center, but few tasks were given to me, to collect info about the locals and people living on mountains.
Roaming around the green lands everything felt peaceful. No noise, No pollution just greenery. Also the people there were generously greeting me, though I seem like a city man but they didn't differentiate. After a lot of talks to local about their life, I understood something they themselves could fill their basic needs themselves but something more advance tech could be selled here. More or like toys for kids or hygiene kits to them.
While I was admiring the beauty around, the night came and now I can't go back but where do I stay. As I was searching for the place to stay an old man told that at the corner of this village there exists a small house. A woman lives there alone, she welcomes customer nicely you can cover the night there.
I reached at the corner of the house made on a peak of mountain standing like a lone wolf. As you all are thinking, I thought the same too, Is it safe ? Maybe not, But I have no other options late at night to drive car was scary for me and even more a citric devil was waiting there for me as manager send here bags full of beer and I couldn't stop stussy from having it. Better to enter the house.
The door was opened only one light near the door was on and behind was all black. The scene was like taken from a set of horror movie. House on top of mountain, dark nights and a empty doorway
"Is anybody here, I'm here for just one night. Please manage my existence here, if there is anybody inside"
Crinkly wooden floors were much more haunting adding shivers to me. And thus there exists one exceptions to the scene. Riping the darkness in her house there came a girl.
"Excuse me mister....."
"Oh, myself Eruma and you little miss?"
"I'm owner of this house. If you want to stay here even for a night there are rules. I'll not go deep but remember one thing don't roam for freely here, if you want to explore this house I'll come with you. Sleep at night, your area is above go there, here are the keys. For clarity there is one bathroom at the backside here and use it after 6 o' clock in morning so that no scenes are formed. Have a great sleep", said little miss.
"Woah!! You are pretty quick but still thanks for the stay and good night."
She was almost in hurry that I just glanced over her looks. White cloths dirty, over it was pure brown apron looking like maid but acting like queen. She overthrew my tiredness. There the call came, the shopkeeper near the new opened store called me and said that there were loud noises coming from the area where stussy and I were staying.
"Don't worry it will be over in an hour just hold on to it and good night", over the call I said.
My sleep that night was very deep but I still woke up exact 6 with not the noises of moans but birds chirping. There were cloths given to me by her. I bathed, I ate the food which was made by her. A home like feeling were ressurrecting inside me, and reason to that is that house and that girl. She was not old, her age was around mine only.
"Sir Eruma If you are free wanna look around the beauties fo this peak.", gal said.
There came the morning walks beside a girl around my age. What most of the men dreamed off, I felt it. The garden full of flowers which was not visible at night was now blooming with the sunlight. And inside it was a big flower walking making the garden glow she herself was more like sun. Well why not she herself has grown it, clouds covering the house around was more of a heaven.
The house which was being scary at night was now had become a part of beautiful nature and a queen managing it. Roaming around the garden talking all about her workings and management all alone. The wildlife existing around the house was also being caught by the beauty. Dogs, goats, cats and even birds all were enjoying the lovely mountains or maybe her talks. She was as if flexing her aroma around, and I was getting caught again and again.
"Excuse me sir Eruma if you had your fill with this beauty can you handle a small task I wanted to buy few ingredients from the farms below can you wait at reception beside doorway I'll be back quickly, and please no roaming without me.", said the little queen.
I sat over the reception area a small one having tons of drawers, big ones as well as small ones. Thus, I saw something which was not meant for me to see. Below the big ones below large monitors were present and those were CCTV monitoring. I was shocked that there were cameras inside this house and that too in a village area where no one even knows about technolology or even earpodes.
Over analysing, I felt relieved that there were no cameras where I was sleeping and only two were ther one at the doorway and other in some dark room. It was not my room that I have to worry but rather a dark one. Maybe this house has a basement or something. I'm a human, I also felt curious about it. I know that she hadn't given permission to move but I can watch from here by watching the recordings of previous days.
There goes again with my daily life incidents of freaks. Now, I regret that I shouldn't have done that. That dark room holds all the dark secrets of girl there exists a complete new version of her free from the outside. I checked every recordings of CCTV of previous day, of previous week even previous month and every day was same inside that room same scenarios repeat each and every day. I understood her work, her solo living, her area of enjoyment her crazy laughter and her mad moanings , not her's but....
I don't know how to say it. I felt bad for them. I closed the monitors and deleted all the proof that exists to make me feel guilty. To tell you in short, I understood that why she was living alone, why she was always in hurry and why her aroma was glowing outside. She was just fed up with humans and chooses wildlife she had indulged herself inside the most of all the creatures. Please I'll say I'm not critisizing her life she just choosed it. But how is she doing it daily. Ohhhh!!!!! Godd not again I thought maybe she was the one....
To tell you in short the wild life were being treated by a wild beast inside that room and that too very wildly. I understood why she was being called the nature's queen, by the locals around.
Urrggh!! just leave it. She came after 15 minutes and I left with normal looks. Maybe she didn't know about the data saving feature of CCTV.
"Bye Bye sir Eruma, be sure to come back I'll show you other side of this house too and maybe even mine, have a great day.", said the mountain queen.
I reached at my place, opened gate. And there was also a beer queen lying on the floor flat. I just hoped that there will be some beer left for customers. Though rather even the customers didn't want it. They are enjoying their time with nature in their own way and so do I.
