It was a bright morning today and they both have gotten up from bed . She is combing her hair while looking all sad and lonely.

On the other hand , Kisshon had already made breakfast for his mom.

His mom: Why are you eating in a rush?

Kisshon: Today they are setting a new place for research. So I need to get ready fast .

Mom: Again!?

Looking at his mother all depressed he walks up to her and gradually hugs her .

“Now don't start crying okay .....?”

“Why will I not!?” **hugs back**

“Uhhh... Mom please don't do this !! If you continue being sad like this , I wont go .....

And also the location can be near this time ...right ?”

“Hope so **sighs**”

**phone starts ringing**

“Here comes the call !!”

**picks up the phone**

“Hello”

The team department : Hello sir ! Your place has been decided just now in the meeting.

Kisshon : “Where is it ?”

The team department : It is in the north. The name of the place is CAHOKIA MOUNDS.

Kisshon : “Isn't it the largest archaeological site in the world?”

The team department : Yes sir. It is a big mission this time . Hope you do it well !!

“Yea sure .... I will head out from home today evening only ! I will inform the other members also . Thanks again~ Bye !!”

**the call ended**

Kisshon jumped and hugged his mother in excitement. She looked at him and asked “Where is it then ..?”

HE replied in happiness- “It is not so far from here. So I can come by anytime and spend some time with you. It will probably take 2-3 hours from here .”

His mother then said, “It is better then those Tampa and Almo trips which take 3 weeks or more then that . But which place are you even going son? “

“It is CAHOKIA MOUNDS”

His mother remains silent for a while and then says “I think i have heard of this place somewhere”

“Yeah ..It is a very famous site ! Isn't it nice that I am getting a chance to work there ? I am soooo excited !!!!”

“No I don't think I have heard about it in a good way”

“Oh no mom ! You are being superstitious again!! I know you are am archaeologist’s mother so you think of all the old sayings of the past people but don’t go so deep in their words OK -?

Now I am going to pack and call others. You sit and finish your breakfast....”

His mother tried to stop him but he just went away to pack his bags.

Meanwhile in the palace Maria aunty came inside with food in her bedroom where she was sleeping. Actually she was just pretending to fall asleep. Maria aunty has long known about this fake act of her; so she says “What happened madam ? You can tell me about it but don't cry like that.”

“Who said I am crying!?” **yells**

“Do you think that after living here with you for so many years \, I don't know anything about you ?”**keeps the food tray on the table beside her bed**

“I wont eat so you may take the food away.”

“But how long will you act like this ?? Please eat something !!”

“Don't you get enough money to take care of this huge prison !? Why do you even care about me !??? ” ***yells louder**”JUST LEAVE ME !!! I wont die anyways.....”

“Why are you saying all of these ? you are like my own dau --”

“”PLEASE !! LEAVE ME ALONE !! DONT ATTACH YOURSELF TO ME” **annoyed** “GET OUT !!!!!!”

Maria aunty left the tray there and went out of the room and thought to herself\,**sigh** ”Why is the god so unfair to her?”

In the afternoon Kisshon was ready to head out. His mother came to see him off but she stopped in between when she saw her family photo lying on the floor with broken glass pieces all over. She rushes to her son and tells him’ “Son wait !! **breathes heavily** wait a minute.....”

“What happened mom !?”replies Kisshon.

“It is already evening and soon it will be all dark everywhere. So....why don't you just go tomorrow.....?”

“What are you saying mom ?I am all ready to head out ! How can I just cancel my tour today when all my team mates are already here ?
