One week is passed, new dawn arrives, the sun was shining, with its radiance rule over the sky, illuminating everything on the earth, it's one ray enter Jiya’s room from a small open gap of curtains-covered windows, strike the mirror and reflect over her face made her closed eyelids brightened to which her pupils stirred up and her eyes fluttered, open slowly, blinking her eyelids several times so to adjust the sight, her gaze falls at the lighter peach colour delightfully framing tray ceiling with a middle size crystal chandelier, she gets up from her lying position with a little struggle and sit straight up on the bed.

Jiya put her hand on the bed, feels a pliable and restful mattress under her palm,  pulled the comforter off  which covering her, and got up from the bed placed her feet on the floor but her sole touches the soft rug, Jiya felt as she was standing on the petals of roses, looking around  the room her eyebrows raised high and form a curved, her upper eyelids was raised and her jaws relaxed and her mouth wide open to form a circle, Jiya was completely surprised as her surrounding was entirely change from before she fainted in the prison, instead of darkness, small and cold prison cell, she is now in the room which was huge, lightened, wonderful, lavish and posh, painted with the classy white and litghter brown, a large  coloured couch with white cushions was setup in the front of the bed, the windows was hidden behind the tall green blackout poly cotten curtains, moving forward  with a baby steps towards the windows slide the curtains , a beautiful view comes in front of her vision, the place was surrounded by large walls and a beautiful huge fountain placed in the garden below her room. A small smile made its way on Jiya’s face, but suddenly the memories before the darkness absorb her flashed in mind, her jaws drop and her eyes become teary.

“If ………I am dead…?………Is this heaven…?”, she murmurs herself as confusion appears on her face.

The recollection memories of her Dida (grandmother), her best friend Reshma, her Head Doctor Dr. Pawan Sharma, her college made her eyes form the tears.

“I did not meet one last time to my Dida, Reshma……….. and Head sir……. Even not……complete my studies………. I  wanted to become a doctor…………”, her lower lip protruded like she will be burst into crying at any time.

But looking around the room her expression changes into a little joyful.

“Well………It’s not that too bad……I  have got a very wonderful and lavish room in Heaven………… Maybe God likes me very much……….that’s Why ……… I got this luxurious room…”, She grumbles in a cheerful tone.

She turned back and tried to open the windows and doors but all were locked except the restroom.

Jiya’s get frozen at her spot when she heard the unlocking sound of the door, “Who is coming now…? Maybe Angel…!”, she said in her subconscious mind as her body become stiffened.

The door opened and she saw a woman in her fifty’s wearing a purple saree with a white blouse, coming inside the room.

Jiya becomes numb as she doesn’t know,  “What to do…. or What to say to the Angel…?”.

The woman looked around the room and her iris straight fall on  Jiya.

“Good Morning…… Madam…….You regain your consciousness…….”, the woman said in a calm low tone.

“How are you feel now….”, the woman take a pause and look at Jiya’s insipid face,  “O… I am Sorry, ………. I not introduce myself…….. I am the senior maid of this mansion…… My name is Lata…… I am available for your service, Madam….”, the woman introduces herself to Jiya.

Jiya first be indecisive to say anything then she took a breath and asks maid, “Please…Let me known first………… If am I dead……?…….  and is it Heaven…..”, Jiya asks maid in a low tone.

 On Jiya’s question, the maid smile slightly and said, “No Madam……….. You are alive and on the earth……”.

Hearing the words from the maid, Jiya’s face gets lighten and she smiles brightly, “Thank God…… I will able to give my final exams ………. And full-filled my dreams…..”.

Then suddenly very slight grief appears on her face, “But Now……. I will have to leave this luxurious room,…………. But Whose room is this…. and Where am I….”, Jiya mutter in a low voice but the maid able to hear Jiya.

“Do you need something……..Madam……………You must be hungry…… I will arrange breakfast for you………. till then ……you freshen up……… restroom is there…..”, the maid pointed his index finger to the left at the door of the restroom.

 Jiya tried to move forward but close down by her steps as abruptly her head started throbbing, she trips up and about to fell forward, out of blue the maid run faster hold Jiya and help her to sit on the bed.

“Madam……… are you alright……? or I will call the doctor…?”, The maid asks Jiya very softly.

“No……No……. I am fine………Just feel a little dizzy…..”, Jiya replied to the maid.

“ I have to inform Chote Hukum (Master), that you are awake……”, the maid said to Jiya.

To which Jiya surprisingly looked toward the maid, “Chote Hukum…….. Who is he?  and what I’m doing here…….  Who brought me here……?”, Jiya asks the maid curiously.

“Chote Hukum…… Will answers all your questions……… I received an order that……. To take care of you…. and also…”, the maid stops herself to said any further.

“also What…?”, Jiya asks the maid.

“And also……Don’t let you get out of this mansion……..without permission of Chote Hukum….. So ….Please, Madam, cooperate……..”, the maid said in a soft tone while giving stress to her each word.

“What .. But…….. Why….”, Jiya said in a loud tone while a frown appears on her face.

The Maid doesn’t give any response to Jiya, She just slightly smile and said in a soft calm tone, “You get fresh…Madam…… I will arrange breakfast for you…..”, saying this the maid leaves room.

After few minutes, Jiya feels relieved, she gets up and moves forward to the door but to her surprise, the door was knocked, a trepidation was raised in her heart, “Now ……… What gonna happen with me….. First that dark Prison cell and now this luxurious room……… I don’t know……. Why I feel more dangerous vibes here rather than that dark prison cell……… O, God…..Please save me…..”, Jiya murmurs herself as an anxious form on her face.

Jiya move toward the restroom as she has an urge to use it, she entered the restroom, do her job; she feels herself smell like medicine and IV, strip her clothes and get in the shower. After taking the shower, walked out, a towel and bathrobe were placed at the stand, she dries herself with a towel and realizes that she doesn't have any clothes so wearing the bathrobe exited the restroom.

After entering her room,  her eyes fall towards the bed where the few clothes with a fresh set of panties and bra were lying on it. Jiya get little stun, but she pick out a knee-length dress and a pair of panties and bra again made her way towards the restroom and wearing them walked out from the restroom, when she saw the same maid stand in front of her.

“Please……… come with me……..Madam”, the maid said to Jiya.

“Where…?”, Jiya asks the maid.

“Please…… Madam…… Do not ask every time questions……I already told you about it……..Please, Madam, cooperate with me……”, the maid said in a slightly cold tone.   

Jiya nodded and said in her subconscious mind, “If  I have to escape from here then I have to know this place……”.

Jiya walked out of the room while following the maid, she looked around everything through which she escaped from the mansion but her eyes widen when she saw the numbers of security guards surround the mansion through the hallway windows.

“O…..God…. such a huge and advanced security…… But….Whose mansion is this…..”, Jiya murmur to herself in a low tone. Then Jiya’s eyes landed on the back gate of the mansion and ideas of running came to her mind as she found that no security guard was placed there.

 Jiya following the maid went down the stairs and reached the vast royal dining room, where the huge chandeliers hanged on the dome-shaped ceiling just above the dining table, walls of the dining room were grey, windows was just opposite to the dining table, everything of this mansion was so lavish and wonderful.

“Please……… take a sit Madam…”, the maid request to Jiya.

Jiya sits on the chair and the maid provides her the healthy soup and some fresh fruits for breakfast. Jiya finished her breakfast, then after ten minutes, the maid gives her medicine, which Jiya take it and after that the maid again locked Jiya in the room.

Three days were passed, the routine was the same for Jiya, every time at breakfast, lunch, and dinner, the maid brought Jiya into the dining room, give her a walk to the garden, and locked her in the room.

Frustration built inside the Jiya, as again she was kept as a prisoner, the only difference is that first she had to live in prison dark cell, and here is the luxurious mansion. She decided to escape at night and start preparing for it.

After dinner, she takes her medicine and enters her room, as usual, the maid locked her in the room, but Jiya picks out the duplicate key which she stole from the maid, open the door, and went towards the backside window of the hallway and as her luck the window was opened, she slowly went down from the window with the help of a long rope, made with curtains and bedsheets tied together by her, Jiya’s inhalation was arduous as soon as her feet touched the ground, she relaxed first, then move toward the back gate when she heard the barking sound from her back. Adrenaline rush through her system as she saw the barking sound come towards her.

“O..No……”, She gulped and just run as fast as she could do,   her eyes widen as she saw the back gate was locked, she started to climb on the back gate as soon as possible as ten German Shepherd was behind her when she reaches the top of the gate abruptly her hands get sticky due to sweat, she slips from the top of the gate, lost her balance and fall, Jiya closed her eyes tightly as she about to land on the ground, out of blue, she feels herself in the air.

“Are you alright …..Jiya…”,  a deep husky voice asks Jiya.

Jiya slowly opens her eyes but her face paled and the words come out from her mouth, “You……Hulk”.
