Chapter 5
After a long and tiresome journey, they finally reached their destination. All the students climbed down from the bus, most of them too exhausted and bored out of their minds. They all followed their teachers, walking in their respective groups. Nivitha and her friends were in the same team but another girl Liya also was with them. Soon they reached a taxi which their teacher told will take them to their abode.
The driver was a native as the teacher told them.
"IT'S A PLEASURE TO MEET YOU, UNCLE. WE ARE FROM SOUTH INDIA." greeted Liya in a loud booming voice.
All others there rolled their eyes.
"I'm a local native. Not hard of hearing." he replied in perfect English.
Nivitha chuckled. Their conversation reminded her of one in a book she loved. "Something funny?" Liya asked her.
"Oh, I just found your excitement amazing. We all are excited." she replied and her friends gave her knowing looks.
The rest of the journey continued with them engaging in short conversations. Soon they reached a small building. The children and their teacher thanked the driver who smiled at them and drove off.
The building had a huge board saying "Ancient palace hotel". Even though the hotel did not live up to its name, it looked good and was pleasant. They had a short dinner and went to sleep. Nivitha and Shivni shared a room and so did Gopal and Sathvik. Akshira and Elvira shared a room too and all were pleased with their arrangements.

When she woke up, Shivni felt fresh compared to the previous day. She packed the things she needed for the day in a small backpack and went downstairs through an elevator. When she arrived, the rest were already waiting for her.
"Let's go." said the teacher noticing her. Then the children followed the teacher and they walked north. They all carried a backpack containing essential items including basic first aid and a few books and stationery on the instruction of their teacher.
That's all for today, guys. I will update you after 13th October since I had exams. Hope you enjoyed it. Thank you. And Happy Dusherra. Bye.
