Chapter 9 Mind Readers? “You can be funny.” Triczar chuckled as he pinched her nose. Estelle rubbed her nose “what is it with you guys and pinching my nose?’ Triczar just shrugged. Just when there were clouds passing by and Estelle took a moment to appreciate the beauty “this place is just so beautiful” she exclaimed “I have never seen clouds from such close.” Triczar was staring at her. ”You are indeed very beautiful” He picked her stray hair that was trickling her face and swaying in wind and pushed it behind her ear. Estelle closed her eyes the tiny touch was soothing. Shyly she said “thank you. But this place is way more beautiful” she checked the entire area like a panoramic view and was excited like a kid when she shouted, ”Jason, Jason” she waved “here we are.” She jumped across few rocks on and the hill and reached Jason “hey” she pulled his hand. They were warm unlike hers. She realized she was cold “join us. Triczar took me to this wonderful place and everything is so amazing and beautiful out here.” “Yes” Jason smiled proud of his land ‘it is very beautiful.” “Triczar” Jason bowed “Jason” Triczar acknowledged “I take it that the problem at the lake is solved.” Triczar asked. “Yes Triczar” Jason replied,  “Mother was worried about you. She was wondering if it affected your health.” “So it was Kaaliyug again?” Triczar said grimly. ‘No worries we have Estelle” Jason smiled warmly at Estelle. “I really think you guys are a maniac thinking I have got anything to do about anything” Estelle laughed “I am just a simple ordinary girl. I can’t even manage for my own breakfast half of the month.” “I thought you could cook” Jason said confused “and… baked” Estelle sighed “again the stalking activities.” She lifted her hands in the air angrily. Estelle was disappointed and walked away. She does not realize how this guy Jason had the ability to make her smile and the piss off in matter of seconds. Triczar followed after her “Estelle” he called “would you like to come home with me and probably” he did not want her to be sad and leave so soon ‘Relax’ “You mean that white paradise?” Estelle asked excitedly. She liked the place and the rooms and the comfy bed. She turned her wrist to check the time but found herself wearing none and a different kind of dress “you never answered me Jason” she shouted from her place “who changed my clothes and why?” “They were Angels” Jason answered and when Estelle furrowed her brows he clarified “you have met them, they were the ones who were nursing Triczar.” “But why?” Estelle asked trying to remember who changed them “and when” “You remember when we arrived here, the roads that lead here and a series of entrances that we had to cross to finally reach here. ”Yeah “ Estelle rubbed her forehead as she remembered “the lake, then snow and then the fire” “And wind too” Triczar added “and you did it all so gracefully and got into Casa de` Ordon” “That wasn’t a big deal” Estelle waved it off “I had Jason who guided me.” “Your clothes were worn out from all the weather changes so Mother summoned all the Angels at your disposal.’ Jason filled in. “Where are these Angels?” Estelle enquired, “I need to thank them personally.” “They are called Angels for a reason Estelle” Triczar stated “they come over and help you when you need them and disappear without any intention of receiving a gratitude once their work is done. They are best of the souls.” “Only if this world “ Estelle corrected “only if my world had few of these Angels, ours would have been a different place altogether.” “Don’t worry” Jason put a comforting hand on Estelle’s shoulder “both our worlds are interconnected. The good in our world also enhances your world but your world is so huge and busy that you oversee such good deeds.” ‘I do not understand” Estelle furrowed her brows. “Lets just say that your world is only a magnified mirror image of ours, goodness here brings peace and prosperity in yours and little evil in here is like huge crisis and bigger evil in yours.” “So you mean to say both our worlds are related?” Estelle asked. “Yes they very much are. We feed on each other.” Jason answered.’ When the evil in here gets stronger we reach out to human for help” Triczar explained. “How can we help you?” Estelle asked, “You guys already have Angels. “Just like I said little goodness in humans multiply in here.” Jason stated, “just like you volunteered to baby sit Mother Cupid at the need of hour even though you didn’t know us.” He looked at her with adoration and pride “your act of kindness and faith strengthened our army and we could fight Kaaliyug” “Who is Kaaliyug now?” Estelle shrieked and yelled. This was too much to take. “That should be shared some other time with you.” Triczar said softly looking expectantly into her eyes as if his life or death depended on her decision “the biggest decision here lies with you.” “You have to decide if you would like to stay here or go back to your world, the world of money.” Triczar asked. “World of money?” Estelle asked, ”what is that supposed to mean?’ “In your world you get whatever you want in exchange for paper or metal coins, something you call money.” “Okay” Estelle nodded taking it all so seriously “so how do you buy things in your land?” Jason chuckled “No we don’t have to buy things here in Ordon” he looked around proud of his own world ‘we earn them.” “So you earn food and shelter” Estelle was intrigued “how?” “We don’t need to eat food Estelle” Jason said, “We earn through goodness. Every good deed by us brings happiness which brings satisfaction and content which makes us live.” “So living?’ Estelle was simply taking in the information “your aim in life is to live?” “Yes and No” Triczar answered this time “We live to do good and our aims differs from person to person “mother Cupid wants to be loved and wants to love everyone in spite of their character.” He gestured at Jason “My friend’s aim in life is to end the suffering of others and bring smile to their faces. He is all but compassion.” Estelle smiled looking at him. She liked that he was compassionate. He always put others before himself. “I do not like when people are angry with me.” Jason stated. Estelle knew that he was talking about her  “I do not like when people abandon me” Estelle replied curtly “I apologize for that. I didn’t mean any inconvenience.” He stated firmly “it was a standard procedure to be followed for any one to gain access to our land.” “You are very proud of your motherland” Estelle stated earning a firm ”Yes” from Jason, “I’d like to hear about your motherland!” Estelle smiled adoringly at him “his way of apologizing really touched her “tell me more about your Casa Oreo..” “Its not Oreo Estelle” Triczar chuckled “its Casa de` Ordon” “ca… sa... de ` or don” Estelle spelled the name carefully knowing very well it was important for Jason “Casa De Ordon” “Perfect” Jason smiled excitedly lifting her in the air in his arms swaying her happily “you got it right. ‘I am feeling giddy” Estelle laughed, “Let me down.” Triczar held her comfortable in his arms when she was still swaying after Jason left her down “Did anyone tell you that you are awesome?” Triczar commented. Estelle giggled hiding her head in his chest, still feeling giddy “you guys have been paid to compliment me.” She looked around “I m sure this is some reality show” she looked around here and there  “What are you looking for?’ Jason asked  “Hidden cameras” Estelle answered still busy looking. “I am sure this is a live TV show where you pick a random girl and flirt with her. And when you are successful bam!” she shouted, “The camera and crew turn up making you a laughing stock.”  Jason pulled her from her search “we are not flirting.” “And there definitely aren’t any cameras” Triczar added. “Then what makes you say I am awesome?” Estelle challenged. “I am very honest Estelle” Triczar said and Estelle knew that she could really trust him the way the blues of his eyes shone at his mention. “You are awesome because you are very forgiving, one moment you were angry at Jason for some reason and the other moment you are laughing and teasing him. You are the same with everyone, always kind and helping.” “I am not all that.” Estelle felt tingly at the compliment “I am only me.” “And this only makes you The Chosen One” Jason added looking at her with pride and another emotion which he himself was oblivion of. ‘Again The chosen one” Estelle sighed “please don’t say stuff like that. I get ….” Not able to comprehend her feelings she stammered “uggh.. it makes me feel…” “I understand that feeling Estelle” Triczar put a hand on her shoulder “it is an overwhelming feeling, makes you scared too that we have a huge responsibility.” “Responsibility?” Estelle repeated “nah I am least responsible person on earth who’d keep responsibilities. I can barely manage my own life. Trust me you have no idea how clumsy I am.” “We all grow over some time” Jason said, “you too will. And you don’t have to worry. I am with you.” “Actually the entire Casa de` Ordon is with you. They are looking forward for you to reside here permanently” Triczar spoke and then realized he’d spoken too much and too early. “Wait” Estelle shrieked in panic “you think I will shift here permanently” she held her forehead “no you think I am supposed to reside here permanently.” “This is absurd, bizarre.’ Estelle shouted, “You guys don’t get to decide what I want to do and where I want to stay.” She looked at Triczar “All the while I was thinking that I am crazy where on actually you are the crazy one. You are a fool to think I will come and stay here.” Triczar felt a stabbing pain in his chest, he almost stumbled but Jason was quick to help him  “You alright?” Estelle asked, her temper against him long forgotten  “He’ll be fine” Jason said still holding Triczar. “What happened?” Estelle asked concerned “Is it because of me?” Estelle felt guilty “sorry I did not intend to shout at him” “It is complicated Estelle.” Jason said, “You need time to assess our world and the way it works around here.” “Can I help him?” Estelle asked looking at Triczar. “Yes” Jason mumbled as he extended Triczar’s hand for her to hold. Estelle hesitated for a second but extended her hand for him to take. Once their skins touched Triczar could breathe again. He stood straight and the faint smile reappearing on his dimpled face and Estelle felt the entire Ordon land smiling and glooming with his smile. “You okay?” Estelle asked relieved “do you need some Tylenol?” she touched his forehead to check the body temperature. But found him pleasantly warm Triczar” Jason called “you need to meet Mother Cupid. She is worried about you. Also this was act of kaaliyug. He was feeling helpless all the while and suddenly he got powers.” Jason looked at Estelle and Triczar nodded but said nothing. Estelle wondered what she had to do with this kaaliyug and his powers. More important who the f##k is Kaaliyug? Mind your language” She scolded the voice inside her.  “Will he be okay?” Estelle asked “you can go with him if you want to. I will be fine on my own” she bit her lip. She didn’t have to tell him what he was supposed to do with her. He’d abandoned her earlier. He could do it again. “I never abandoned you Estelle” Jason said  “YOU can read minds?”
