Meeting the divine beauty!

She walked a bit further to look for any clue she could find in that dreamy and exquisite surrounding. She was dumbstruck to find a very much beautiful bird who dived down the tree towards her with it's hungry black eyes. It had a long tail like peacock but white and violet in colour, it had slender but sharp yellow claws, dark violet body and wings with light white strokes.

The heavenly bird came straight towards Aruna and started to inspect her, it walked around her and nudged her a bit. But she was so horrified, confused and amazed all at the same time that she didn't even move. Neither did she try to breathe, she was on high alarm. She was so still that no one could tell between the statue and her. But alas she couldn't hold her breath longer. The instant she left her breath the bird turned into a graceful lady. She did still have the peacock tail feathers spread behind her elegantly, that made her look like a divine beauty.

She was so beautiful that Aruna couldn't think about anything else. It was like she forgot everything, all the questions disappeared. And she just stared in awe. But the silence didn't last for long, the peacock lady spoke in her beautiful but mysterious voice, " Hello Miss! You Suppose to be the one who was destined to come here. Spend your time wisely, capture the scenery, you have only 30 minutes to spend here. I hope the nature has made the right choice to have you here." Aruna wanted to ask her so many questions but the lady didn't even wait for a second longer and flew away after transforming into the heavenly bird.

Aruna was dumbfounded, she couldn't even move from her place. But she tried to cool herself down, by soothing herself that she would be able to return back to her world in 30 minutes. But how?

She decided that she will keep strolling around until it's time to go back. But what was it that the lady had said? Why was she the chosen person by the nature, and for what? Why was she the one to be destined to be there? How was she to spend her time wisely? The questions kept pilling up but the answers were nowhere to be seen. The most important question of all questions was that- Was all this just a dream or real? She decided to take pictures of the area as a proof. If by any chance it was real she would be able to see them again. She clicked photos of all sorts of flowers, she had never scene in her world. There were flower gardens, ponds, and even snow . A bit further she could see that a rainforest was starting. But how could all these be at one place? They needed different climatic conditions to grow. Rainforest needed humidity, snow needed coldness the grassland needed moderate climate. How was it to be at the same place? It was as if it was some sort of animated movie... She suddenly remembered that she was to give a presentation at her office. She was terrified, about what would happen. She was to give her presentation in 2 minutes but after passing 30 minutes here, she was certain to be fired.

She didn't know if to be happy to have experienced such a beautiful surrounding or to be sad with the tension of being fired. With all her thoughts running in her mind she didn't even understand when the bird had landed in front of her and transformed into the lady. She only noticed the woman when she spoke in her mysterious voice. She said, "Aruna your time here is completed. Don't try to forget this place. This is your destiny. Take care. Trouble is awaiting you!"

Aruna was once again left with pilled up questions but no answers. She didn't even have time to think. In a blink she was in her first position, reaching her pen. She was like- How did it all happen in just a second? She picked her pen, and answered Mrs. Nath, "Just 2 minutes, I am coming." These words were on her tongue before she had bent and they came out without her ordering to do so. She couldn't think anything further. Mrs. Nath said, "Okay!" and left her.
