9 Green Deser (1/2)

It was the time of midnight and pitch-black darkness engulfed the whole s.p.a.ce. Everyone was sleeping safe and sound in their homes. Only a few crickets seemed to be awake at this moment and started chirping to their heart's content.

Everything seemed to be normal but in Malhotra household, a strange phenomenon was starting to happen. There was a strange kind of light which was peeping out through the corners of the door of Ved's room.

Inside the room, there was a mysterious light glow which was flickering on the upper part of the body of Ved. To be precise, it was in the middle of his chest, located near his heart. There was no one to witness this strange occurrence.

Ved was in deep sleep when suddenly his countenance started to turn red. His body started to sweat profusely even in the air-conditioned room.

He felt severe pain all over the upper-frontal part of his body. His heart seemed as if it would burst apart from his chest at any moment. The pain was agonizing to bear. His eyes which were shut at that moment started to open as he grabbed on to his chest tightly in pain.

While writhing in severe pain, when he opened his eyes, Ved found himself lying in an open field under the clear bright sky. Shock stirred his mind as he looked around. He was sure that last night he slept on his bed inside his room but what happened, where was he? He couldn't recognize this place.

This place was the greenest place that he had ever seen in reality. As far as his eyes could see, the green gra.s.ses, plants, and trees covered the whole ground. It looked mesmerizing to his eyes.

It felt as if it had some kind of effect on him because the pain in his chest was starting to slowly disappear.

Ved was confused. However hard he tried to remember, he couldn't recognize this place. As far as he could remember, he had never visited such kind of a place. This place didn't seem real. It seemed as if it had come out of some kind of painting.

Wherever he tried to look, only plants and trees entered his vision. Not a single living creature could be spotted in that area. It was as if this was some green desert and somehow he ended-up right in the center of it.

Ved was trying his best to control his riled up emotions. He knew that getting anxious about a situation won't yield any solution. He decided to walk until he got out of this seemingly endless green desert. He started strolling in the opposite direction of the rising sun.

Sun was at its peak when Ved decided to rest for a while. He was wandering for a long time now. He started walking in the morning and gradually noon came but he still hadn't been able to find a way out of this seemingly never-ending desert. He was exhausted.

Ved leaned himself on a nearby tree. His throat seemed dry at the moment. He was thirsty for a while now. He realized that he hadn't eaten or drunk anything since morning. His stomach started growling.

The issue of hunger could've been solved if the trees that he saw bore any fruits. But there was not a single fruit which he found on those trees. They were all just barren trees which only provided shelter in that blazing sun, nothing else.

Ved decided that he could endure being hungry for a while longer but he needed something to drink straightaway. The limit for controlling his thirst had already been crossed by him a long time ago.

To look for a water source, he climbed onto the tree that he was leaning on and started looking around.

The tree was high enough to give him a panoramic view of a much longer area. Suddenly his eyes lit up. He finally found someone living in this seemingly endless green desert.

There seemed to be a cottage made up of straws towards the north. If there was a cottage then someone must be living there. He just had to go up to that cottage and he could ask him how to get out of this place. His parents must be getting worried sick about him.

His lips curved slightly upwards as Ved climbed down the tree and started walking towards the cottage.
