A girl and her mother visited a park rather for an amusement to relax from daily works and chores . "Serene , let's take your mind off of your stress for a moment and enjoy the present.", Said her mother .
"As you wish mom" ,said Serene. They went to the falls to capture it's beauty in their eyes . The park was red ,and red means all and everywhere red , the tress and their leaves and the clothings of the others . It seemed like the autumn itself is a human being dressed in tender red with gentle wind every here and there kissing the leaves of the tress and the cheeks of the humans .
However this park had a boundary with a board written as ,"WARNING: DON'T CROSS THE LINE".
And this thing attracted Serene more than anything in that park . She really wanted to know what's hidden beyond this thin line wall that could be danger. She said to her mother, "Can we go down the boundary to see what's there ?"
"Absolutely not" , said her mother coldly .
"I wonder what's beyond that and I wish to know so....." ,came the reply from Serene in a lower tone.
She started to plan every way to know what's beyond without letting her mother know that she was trying to know . The park was a place to be seen . It had falls and at a few seconds distance ,a pond with lilys and lotuses floating , red leaves falling over heads of evryone and a divine peace. I don't what else a person needs to relax .
Serene had an idea of escaping her mother for a few minutes and see what's beyond that boundary and come back on time and her mother won't even know it . "Mom, I'll visit the washroom and come back soon", she said .
"Ok . But don't be late."
Seene left her mother and went towards the barrier and she noticed there was an eyehole. She peaked through it and to her surprise she discovered something terrible . She saw six kinds of deaths— waterboarding , burning in fire , stabbed , hanging with rope around the neck , burying alive, starving to death . And these deaths were being carried out on six people . Serene was shocked and going to tell but she controlled herself so the people who were killing don't come into thier eyesight . Else who knows maybe they would capture her and kill her in any seventh kind of way .
"What! How can they ...." ,she murmured inside her mind, "And all this while I thought this place was real beauty on this Earth...when it's a deadly farm from inside..."
Serene silently ran from the boundary and went towards her mom. She acted like nothing happened in front of her mother but inside she was still shook.
"Where have you been ?", asked her mother
"what do you mean ? I told you washroom already "
"Ah did you buy the whole washroom ?Or were also helping others to do their washroom stuff ? " ,said her mother back to her.
Serene looked at her mom with much of an eeeeew expression,"I took time and it's personal , stop your brain to think such toilet stuff ".
Her mother looked at her, " it's late ,shouldn't we start going home ?"
Serene with a huge sigh of relief to go home hurried and said ," Oh please mom ,yes we should go home .I don't feel well enough to stay here any longer".
Then they headed towards the exit gate of the park but they saw it had closed. Serene freaked out, why it's closed . The thought her turn to die came to her mind. Her mother was still like chill because she didn't know anything about the hidden cruel truth . She started saying ," Serene let's stay here toady ,I know there is a hotel in the park ."
Serene was not ready to stay in that place anymore at all . She even thought that the hotel may not be safe for them . She noticed those people coming towards them who were killing . Serene froze ,she kept on pulling her mother ," let's go mom ,they are no good people ! Please let's go !". Her mother didn't listen to her because those people dressed in decent clothes .
"Let me talk to them ,they might know the way to open the exit", said her mother .
Those people came and took us in their hotel. It was evening and all sat to eat . Serene couldn't eat because she was too much afraid to eat what's given . Her mother ate anyway.
One of those people said politely ," I hope you enjoyed your tour here today ."
"yes very much", her mother said .
"We are sorry that the exit gate got closed ,actually the park has some rules. But don't you worry ma'am ,we have the nicest hotel for you with all the luxuries...untill the morning " , said the head memeber of that group .
Serene noticed somehow that the man said the whole line normally until the words "Untill the morning" as if this might was their last night .
They were taken to their room . And it was really nice and bright and beautiful. Serene wasn't pleased with any of these things as she knew all the truths . She was planning to get out of that hotel and cross the exit gate and somehow be in their own house which is the safest place for them.
It was 2 a.m. in the morning ,she was still awake. Serene saw that at almost at that time the exit gate opened once again to let some trucks enter . What were those trucks for and she didn't want to know either.
She told her mother," let's leave mom ,the gate opened ."
"What ?why ? We are staying here so fine . Let's stay tonight tomorrow we leave .", said her mother .
She couldn't convince her mother to leave so she left the hotel to see herself of the driver of the truck could help her . When she went close to the truck ,she open one of the boxes in the struct and she saw that does boxes were filled with drugs and she realised that this driver could be of no help. He wouldn't help her, rather he would go and tell the head member that they are trying to escape.
Serene was smart enough ,she saw a chloroform spray and took it with her . She sprayed it to her mother's nose and she instantly lost her consciousness. She held her mother on her shoulders and headed towards the gate . Their were two guards present . She kept her mother aside hidden ina bush and went to the guards.
"Excuse me !", she said .
The guards looked at her with a stare of death and said , " yes ma'am ,how can we help ?"
Serene winked at them smiling and said ," I am in a big personal trouble , I can't say it loud. If you can bring your ears close to my lips please "
The guards bend to listen what she had to say when suddenly she sprayed the chloroform and they fell off like a phone had gone switched off .
Somehow the people of the hotels had known that the two members are missing from the hotel. People from the hotels were coming towards the gate to search for them and they saw her and her mother . The moment they saw them they quickly speed their pace to come to catch them with blood filled hands.
Serene dragged her mom out of the gate and there was a car coming . Fortunately it stopped when she went in front of it .
"yes ma'am , are you okay ?", said the driver .
" No ! No . My mom is extremely sick and she needs to be taken to a hospital ."
The driver instantly told them to sit inside the car . She loaded her mother inside the car and told the driver to leave immediately. The car left the place and went far away .
" which hospital would you like to go? "
Serene gave one address to the driver which was not of a hospital. The driver looked confused , " it's hospital, right ?"
Serene nodded her head in a NO expression. "it's my home", she said .
"what?"
"please don't ask anything. Tonight you came on time so we are saved else our lives would have ended by morning ."
They soon reached home and she paid the driver and he left . She took her mother to their bedroom , laid her on the bed and thanked god that he helped them get rid of that place .
It was soon morning and her mother woke and asked how much beautiful place they have been yesterday. Serene acted like they had been home since yesterday and said , "what park ? We didn't go anywhere "
" what? no way I dreamt of all that. It felt so real " , said her mother .
Serene looked at her mom and laughed to make it sound funny , " maybe you see real dreams".
Still today that park which she called beauty at very first sight , now she calls it a terrible amusement. She realized how much eyes can cheat humans . Only the first can make a false illusion that has the ugliest truth .
