"Then learnt to do it "
Saying it ,Khaled turned around and walked towards Esber standing beside the secret door.While Emaan looked at his retreating back with shock and plethora of weird feelings that fluttered in her heart like million butterflies as she thought,
Ab trust krna kaise sikhty hai.?.( Now how do we learn to trust? )
You already trust him
Just zip it you traitor heart !
With bedlam characterizing her internal state ,Emaan walked towards the secret door.When Khaled asked Esber,
"Well don't you think electric torches will have been better than handling these ...as some people are too clumsy and childish to handle these fire torches properly "
Emaan exasperatingly looked at Khaled's back and clenched her fists as she thought ,
Whom does he think he is calling clumsy and childish!
"Well once you go down ...believe me this torch will come more handy " Esber smirked while Khaled and Emaan frowned in perplexion .
Before climbing down the ladder Esber added ,
"Hold the ladder as I go down then you both come turnwise and the one coming last should remember to close the door and don't worry of dark as I reach down there I will light my torch with my lighter....okay.. understood ?"
Emaan and Khaled nodded their head in affirmative and Khaled crouched down to hold the ladder as Esber climbed down. As soon as Esber reached down ,he lit his lighter and dipping the torch in the stored mixture of sulphur and lime in a bucket kept at the corner ,he lit the torch with his lighter and shouted from down,
"Now come climb down one of you ..I am holding ladder from down."
Before climbing down ,Khaled slowly said to Emaan,
"I will go first ...if I feel something is off down there I will click my fingers twice and take that as a signal to run from here ...okay...and I am not taking no as an answer Dr Emaan "
Saying it, Khaled proceeded to climb down the ladder ,not waiting for Emaan's reply who looked at him climbing down the ladder with annoyance as she thought,
Iss insaan ne hamare dimaag or dil dono ki dahi bana di.
(This man has made a curd out of my both brain and heart).
As he reached downstairs ,Khaled looked around as Esber taking the torch from Khaled's hand dipped it in the mixture and then lit the torch by touching it with his own and passed it back to Khaled. With the two torches lighten up ,the surrounding was illuminated ,though the heavy darkness still dominated the area, keeping most of things veiled in its realm of caliginous thereby emulsifying the mysteriousness of the surrounding. But with the light of torches ,Khaled could make out that it was a long tunnel leading towards darkness while other side of the tunnel was blocked with heavy boulders. Gauging Esber's reaction and taking one look again at the surrounding Khaled looked up to call Emaan down but Esber beat him to it as he said,
"Sister ,what taking so long come down..throw your torch down we will catch it.....she scared of ladder or what ? Esber addressed the last part to Khaled who looked at him once and looked up back again thinking,
