CHAPTER 6

Mauritius was like heaven on the Earth . Serene felt her anxities disappearing and she took long breaths as if wanting to capture everything within her. The calming sea waves embracing her feet pleasured her as she surrendered to the beauty of the shore . The cold yet comforting winds blew her hair and she sheepishly giggled. She could feel the emancipation from  her identify crisis and unhealed wounds . All she was feeling was pure happiness. She concluded that this was the destination of any wanderlust soul. She felt her name being mirrored in this solace as it blessed  her with  pristine serenity and sanity. SHE FELT FREE...

"Hey Ser" Serene got startled when someone gave a soft pat on her shoulder. She was about to take out the dagger that she had kept at the back of her jeans but relaxed when she saw it was Eva.

"Hey what are you doing here. I thought you had retreated back to your room." inferred Ser (Serene)

" Yeah I did but my stupid brother told me he wouldn't be here till tonight so I changed my mind and planned a small tour. So I was planning if we could go around and you know have fun." Eva proposed.

Serene was anxious in the beginning but agreed later." Okay then ,let me change first then you we can leave." She was about to turn when Eva questioned ," Are you planning to kill someone?" The seriousness in her tone gave Serene cold shivers . She pondered if Eva had already seen her dagger but tried to keep her calm and faced her.

"What do you mean. Me killing som-"She couldn't complete when Eva started laughing loudly holding her stomach. " Your face...Oh my.....Hahahaha..You look so cute when you are serious. I meant you are already looking so gorgeous and if you do something else then half of the population would be dead. And am pretty sure they won't be able to handle 2 bombs in a day." She winked at her.

Serene was relieved and flustered at the same time." Oh..okay. Let's go now or we'll be late."

Both the girls went from shop to shop, stall to stall to enjoy all the delicacies and feel the adrenaline rush. In order to give a closure to this small outing and cool their young blood , they crashed in front of Fifty Five Lounge club, the iconic club of Mauritius.

The flashing lights in the thick darkness made the surroundings seductive. Sweaty bodies rubbing against each other increased the temperature of the room and the ambiance reeked of liquor and sweat.

Serene was a  bit uncomfortable but adjusted as she knew with a person like Rose there was no turning back.

"So Mi Amor, what would you like to have ? " The bartender asked flirting with these 2 pretty ladies.

"A Martini for me. What would you like to have Ser?" " Um...It's okay.. water is fine ." Serene stuttered.

"Seriously Serene Monroe coming to the best club just for water. Now this is injustice." Eva commented.

"Actually  this is my first time ...so yeah ... I honestly don't know a thing about drinks except for .....Coke." She wanted to say further but seeing Rose's mouth agape she considered shutting down a better option.

"Are you ....no.. no..I mean ...wait.... are you even an adult....how old are you??"Rose was shocked.

" No it's not like that. I am 20 but I just didn't get the time to drink. U know it never fascinated me. So that's it." Serene answered awkwardly.

Feeling the slipping vibe ,Rose chirped , " No problem my lady . Pleasure me with the honor of having your first drink with me." She bowed her head and lend her hand forward in a  royal way as if asking for permission. Serene laughed and they had the same drink and almost got drunk and danced like no tomorrow.

Both started shouting hysterically when the beats of DESPACITO hit the speakers. Some considered them crazy while the two obliviously shook their  asses teasing the  men and irritating the women because they couldn't help but feel insecure as they went from laughing to shouting to teasing and what not...

To sum it all up , it was a Blissful Night.
