the weekend project-4
She had just hit a human being on the head... she had just hit a king on the head.. she just hit a king from 1910 on the head... "Am I insane or what..." thought Nia.

She quickly looked for any bleeding on his head. It was all good. She took some water and splashed his eyes, he jerked open his eyes. First they flashed with anger at her, then he relaxed. " I know you don't believe me, but you have to. You are safe here. This gate has been playing tricks since I was young. I came to your time, to your office and got myself employed there."

" Oh thank you so much" she said sarcastically. " But why me...? is there anything sinister going on?" Nia panicked again.

" No no, all is well. It has been prophesied that the one who comes with me from future will solve it all. So I searched you out and volunteered to be with you this weekend. You have something which can halt this process. But you had to come here to believe all this so you can help us back."

Nia didn't believe him, still azuming it to be a prank. " Please I am so hungry. order me a Pizza please." She said.

"Uh well, you won't get it. It's not been introduced here as yet. Only Indian food is available." He clapped and a maid-like lady entered the chamber, bowed down and asked in Hindi," What should I do Rajaji".

" Arrange a group of girls to go with this lady and arrange a bath for this lady and then we will have dinner. And send for the Wazir saab to me in the dining hall as well." He ordered. Nia almost fainted but kept her cool. Now what was she to do. She had no choice but to go along with it all as of now. She will try to keep an open mind and try to retain her sanity till then.

She was taken to another grand room. They had arranged a bath tub with water and soaps for her. She took a soak and the ladies helped her dress into the the silk saree. She let go of the ornaments they offered. Soon she was seated at the dining table. It was a very delicious dinner and Rose sharbat was too good. The Wazir saab was an intelligent and Razer sharp personality. He asked her," madam do you have an old key and a stone tablet kind of a thing with you."

She looked at him with disbelief, what he was talking about was an old keep-sake her grandmother had given her. She had thought it was just an old whimsical thing. It was there in a locker in her bank. She had felt strange when grandma had told her to keep it in a bank locker. Now she wondered... infact now she remembered there was also a diary with it. So she confirmed with the King and Wazir. Now she lost her appetite as the gravity of situation dawned on her. She was actually in the past having dinner with a King and his Wazir....
