In "Parc Aventure"

So, after Mirabella's foreign girl friends, Tina and Chandni were ready, off they went on a "decapotable" or convertible ranger jeep. The three of them clad in safari style, as if ready to go hunting.

Mirabella said, there was a park, not very big, but it was quite nice to do some adventuring. She mentioned about learning to climb and hiking, crossing rivers on ropes et cetera. The two girls grew excited. Chandni asked if they would do all that by themselves, and Mirabella said there would be a guide cum instructor, there would be no worries.

As they arrived at their destination, Tina saw the sign-board, it was written "Parc Aventure" - Chamarel. She said it looked nice.

Their heart were beating fast the moment they entered the front office of the park. Mirabella registered their names and paid the fees. Chandni said it was quite affordable. Then the receptionist called the guide. Then the receptionist explained that the gentleman would guide them and take the role as their instructor, when the girls eyes fell on the equipment the guide was carrying. The ropes and hooks and locks and harness and everything needed.

The guide prepared them then suddenly Tina's eyes spotted some green and red arrows beyond the front office, and she asked. The guide said that, if one did not want to do the hard adventure, he could just do the walkathon by going through the paths shown by the arrows signs. And he said through that path one might even think of crossing a jungle yonder.

Well, as they were ready, off they went on an almost real cross-country adventure, and did not forget their cameras and video-cameras.

New resolutions

New year's Eve had passed. They had real good time, the party and also unexpected call from homes. Tina received calls from Indonesia and Chandni from India and they said hi to each others' friends and family through video calls, it was so funny.

The following day was naturally the first day of the beginning of another year. Tina woke up very late and as she stared at the ceiling wondering how that day would be spent. She thought of her plans back home and other plans involved. And Chandni on the other bed, beside Tina's, was seen doing a certain yoga position. Tina smiled.

Tina's phone rang, it was Edward, her consultant, greeted her and asked her when she would be back home. Some important documents were waiting for her, he said. Tina said that she had to complete her one month contract with the hotel Mirabelle got her into. Edward laughed at Mirabelle's smart program. Edward reported that a co-tenancy agreement draft of her commercial space was already drawn and needed her proofread. Tina asked Edward to scan it and send it to her email. She was going to read it from  where she was.

After she read the draft and suggested some alterations which she thought would be convenient to both parties, she sent the document back to Edward. Then her mind started surfing her next plan about how to set her shop nice. The furniture and the interior design and everything else.

As Tina was day-dreaming, Mirabelle showed up by the doorway and asked them to get ready. They were going to Chamarel for some curious adventures. There would be couple of places they could visit.

Towards New Year

The Christmas day had gone by, as Mirabelle had planned, she told her friends that she wanted to organize a party for the New Year's Eve and asked Tina's and Chandni's assistance. She needed a hall, refreshments and music.

An idea struck Tina's mind and she offered if she could talk to her Hotel supervisor, if she could obtain a space for the occasion and Chandni offered to speak to the hypermarket's manager to give them special rate for the purchase of the refreshments they will need.

Mirabelle sneered and thought that was a very fast idea and she agreed. Adding that the time was so short, they should hurry. There wasn't any big problem with Chandni's effort to get the refreshments supply but quite a major problem with the hall because the only banquet hall at the hotel where Tina was assigned already had its own program. Five days away before the Eve, Tina and the others started running their fingers through the yellow pages.

After hours of spotting in the yellow pages and calling for informations, they got one and they made an appointment for a site-visit, which would be on the following day.

Mirabelle thought of a masquerade party, Tina looked at her wide-eyed and said that it would be great because she'd never been to any masquerade party, moreover then she was a part of the organizers. That would be an awesome experience to bring home, Tina added.

So it was decided.... Masquerade Party for New Year's Eve.

A topic between Tina and Mirabelle

It was another Sunday. But this Sunday, after breakfast Tina's Internet Messenger rang, a video-call. It was Mirabelle. They exchanged greetings and they started talking about the things that interested them. Mirabelle asked Tina if she knew anything about myths. Tina said she read some about the Greeks' or the Romans' or some about the Indians'. And Mirabelle mentioned about Psyche, Echo and Athena. Tina asked if Mirabelle thought, by the hazard, that somehow those characters really existed in the spirit realm. Laughingly Mirabelle commented that no one would really know but somehow the myths would remain alive to eternity.

Then they talk about Tina's plan of spending Christmas and New Year in Mirabelle's island of Mauritius. Tina said she contacted Chandni already and told her about the change of plan, it was a good thing, Chandni agreed. Chandni quoted "curiosity kills the cat", since she was curious to know about that particular small island, so small that  could hardly  be noticed in the world map. Mirabelle sneered. Mirabelle offered a nice bungalow for them. And also a transportation to take them on trips around the island. Mirabelle mentioned about places they could go or do. Tina seemed to be very interested and they continued chatting, talking about nonsense for a while and before they hung-up, Mirabelle told Tina not to think too much of what kind of dress she should bring. Tina laughed and said that she and Chandni would come with empty suitcases.

Mirabelle and Tina said "au revoir" to each other added with "bizous-bizous" and hung-up. Tina sighed and whispered "funny".
