Diksha's POV
I continued reading. I couldn't belive! Everything happened exactly the same as it happened to us. Apart of getting trapped. My granpa didn't get trapped in the cave. He just wanted to explore the cave even if he knew there was an inactive volcano, but dangerous, near the cave. I was really proud of him. Zaan joined me in reading:

8th December:
We climbed down the big hole and rested a bit. After that we started walking again. We entered in a sort of room. We were all so shocked... it was... beautiful! On the walls there were many stones, ruby, emeralds and topaz... it was amazing!

"Guys chale kya ab? Bohot aaram ho gaya" Aarti interrupt us. We nodded.

We went in that room. It was exactly the same as described in the diary. It was amazing.

We entered without thinking anything. We started roaming around the room.

"Woww! Yaha dekho hire!" Rohit said.

"Haan aur yaha emeralds!" I said.

"Yaha topaz!" Zaan said.

After a second or two I heard something.

"Tumne kuch suna?" I asked.

"Nhi toh" everybody said.

I heard it again. This time everybody was sure about it. It was a sound of cracking.

Now it was very clear.

"Oh My God! Koi bhi hilna mat!" Zaan said suddenly. He was literally sweating.

"Kya hua Zaan?" I asked worryingly.

"Diksha... jispe ham khade he woh Jadeite ka bana hua he... the finest gemstone in the world! Yeh bohot zada fine he... it can't even handle a stone..." Zaan explained. We were all so scared.
"Ab kya kare hum?" Aarti asked.

"Dheere dheere wapis chalte he..." Zaan said. We agreed. We were all shivering. But we managed to walk.

"Dheere dheere..." Zaan said.

The cracking sound was increasing.

Suddenly... the diary that I was holding in my hand fall on the ground... I was freezed... but nothing happened.

"Bach gaye!" Aarti said. As she said that the ground broke down and we started falling...

"AAAAHHHHH" We all screamed together...

"Ab kya hoga!!!" Rohit said.

We didn't say a word and continued screaming. We were falling and falling when we heard the sound of water!

"Paani ki awaz?! Iska matlab ham bach jayenghe!" I said.

We fall in the water... I didn't know how to swim so Zaan helped me to reach the surface. We all sat on the floor.

"Ham bach gaye!" Aarti laughed.

"Yaar hum ab kese niklenge yaha se?" I said...

"Chinta mat kijiye ap... koi na koi hal zaroor nikal ayega" Rohit said.

I nodded. But I was still sad. I wanted to go home.

"Ab kaha chale hum?" Aarti asked.

"Chalo chalke dekhte he..." I said.

One thing I noticed of this cave is that it has many different parts. Is like, made of many different caves. So many caves made one cave.

Omg! The diary?!! Where is it?!!! Oh no! While falling I lost the diary! Now what am I going to do! How will we find the way home! No!

"Zaan!! Diary!" I cried. He understood everything.

"Tum chinta mat karo Diksha... ham koi aur rasta nikal lenghe..." he said.

"Kese niklega koi aur rasta?! Ham phas chuke he! Kuch nhi hoga ab!" I shouted. He hugged me tightly. I also hugged him.

After some minutes I controlled myself and broke the hug. I looked at Zaan.

"Chale?" He gently asked me. I nodded.

We were walking from half an hour. We entered in another type of room... there was a river and on the surface there were luminous glow worms. It was fabulous! It looked like sky filled with lots of stars...

It was amazing. There was a boat.

"Chalo us nao me jaa kar bethte he aur aage chalte he" Rohit suggested.

"Haan chalo chalte he" Aarti said.
"Arey kya chalte he? Agar is baar bhi kuch gadbad ho gayi toh?" I said.

"Yaar hamare pas aur koi option bhi nhi he! Hame yahi se jaana hoga..." Zaan said.

"Lekin-" I started but Zaan cut me off.

"Lekin vekin kuch nhi... chalo na... ab risk toh lena padega hi na" he held my hand and took me to the boat. I tried to free myself but his grip was so tight.

"Zaan! Mujhe nhi jaana!" I insisted but he didn't listen to me and made me sit in the boat. I was so angry on him.

"Mujhse baat mat karna!" I yelled on him. He smiled at me. I looked somewhere else.

Aarti's POV:
We sat in the boat. There were 2 oars in the boat. Rohit took one for him and gave me one.

"Mujhe nhi pata isko kese chalate he" I said looking at the oar.

"Arey bohot asaan he... is chappu ko aise pakdiye aur ese ese hilaye." He demostrated to me how to do it. I tried and it was actually easy.

"Yeh toh easy he" I said. The boat startec moving. We continued staring at the surface... I was really beautiful.

"Yeh toh bohot hi khubsurat he" I said looking at luminous glow worms...

"Lekin apse zada nhi, mohotarma" Rohit said looking at me. I blushed. He smiled.

"Tum dono ka ho gaya?" Diksha said.

"Kamini meri love story me badha ban rahi he! Tujhe toh me baad me dekh lunghi!" I thought looking at her angrily. She understood and laughed on me.

We reached the edge and got off the boat. The surface was now clear.
