My first time in India.I was roaming around the busy roads of New Delhi.It was blazing hot.I kept my brown long coat in my messenger.I was so pride of my brown jade bangles. Originally came here for detective works which can be a story of its own.Alex,my best friend since University,left me under a tree for some samosas I guess.A nice breeze came,I looked up seeing the sun getting covered by the clouds.I heard Alex's voice and I looked front wishing to see him and boom!Where did the city go?All I see infront of me is green fields and people riding with horses.A man was standing beside me and mumbling,"Damn,my house got burnt."Even though I was unable to process anything,I noticed a big fire a field away.
As a weird person,without a thought I asked the man pointing at the field,"Was your house there?""Yes",saying while letting off a big sigh not of sadness by the way.As a person who would blame her entire life just for mistaking one mark in exams,I kinda got surprised and said,"So the house was old or something?Judging by your looks,I don't think you own a lot of house.""That was insulting.""No,that was a roast.""Roast?Like what we do to a chicken,yes,the people there(in the field) are almost roasted""No,no you look young,you should know what 'roast' means.Wait,what year is this?"The fact that I didn't even thought how I landed from buzzing city to calm village up until now kinda explains me."You see I might look like a bit poor but I am educated.It is 1000 Hijri",said with such pride.I looked at his face for the first time,he kinda looked half Indian and half Arab,with such devastation as if I have been suffering from constipation for a damn week.
Well so I just realized I landed in around 1592 according to the Gregorian calender.I asked him,"Is the king named Akbar?""Yes,you didn't know it?""Of course I did."You guys must be thinking either how sad she will have to survive there or how cool she can see all those wonders with her own eyes.But you are wrong,I am here not to suffer nor to enjoy,I must hereby do BOTH.I should establish democracy and make sure that my name stays written in the pages of history.More important than that I might still have time to stop the British colonization.I must also loot uhm uhm I mean collect artifacts to take them to the future.Interesting I suppose!I always wanted to be a historical person we read about in books and see edits.By the way,while I am imagining these stuffs,the person beside me was still looking at the burning field with no feeling of remorse.
I asked his name.Dannyal Khan he said.He asked,"Now that I look at you,your clothes are weird and what is that around your eyes?""That is called glasses and what do you mean? It is literally a white shirt and brown pa-"oh these are ancient people."But your brown shoes look great.""Those are called Birkenstock Arizona."He asked my name then.I was thinking of saying my motive and who I really was but what if he says I am delusional.Well if he agrees I might get a real awesome partner.I said,"My name is Surah Nisa.I am a historian and detective.I come from the future.I want to change this system.I want to let everyone know that all are equal no matter how,where or when they are born.So would you like to join me on this quest?"
He didn't give a second thought and said,"Woah,count me in.The fact that finally someone agrees with me is insane.Well let me give my proper introduction as well,I am Dannyal Khan as I told you before.I used to be a royal but due to a scandal involving my father,my mom and I were sent outside the palace.From then I started working as a merchant."
Well then we started towards the town with a big aim and no plan.But I was surprised that Dannyal had modern thinking.Awesome!
