KONNOCHIWA Everyone

Myself Marzia, I'm 25 years young and ambitious girl, recently graduated in archeology from University of Harvard.

Today I'm going to Peru for some archeological research for my project with my friends Sasha, Ivan and my professor Hans. I'm so excited for Peru don't know why, it feel like going back to my home and meeting my native people.

Oh yeah, As the word family had arrived let me let you about my family. I do have a family but just for the name sake, I mean I have a step-mother, father, step-brother, my brother, and step-sister. I visit my own house as a guest only to meet my brother Nate. You must be thinking where is my birth mother, then let me tell you, My mother jasmine died when I was twelve, in a car accident. At that time my brother Nate was just a month old. On the day of accident, my mother and father went to court to register there divorce. I was with my grandmother and father forcefully look me with him, and my brother was with my mother in that car. Luckily my brother survived but my mother couldn't.

After my mother's death my father remarried with a woman named Julia (step-mother) who already have a son and a daughter , so simultaneously they became my step brother and step sister. During initial days Julia was very nice towards me and my brother but later on whenever my father went to office she use to bully us. In front of my father she pretend to love us more than her own children but behind she hates us. I used to tolerate her because of my brother and father.

After some month, I came to know that my father was having relationship with Julia since last six years. And the son and daughter were of my father itself. This was the reason why my father divorce my mother.

The most heartbreaking thing was Julia had conspired my mother's accident so that she can get all money of my father and can easily get in our life. And during all this time she used to brainwash my father against my mother. After knowing this l confort my father about this, but my father didn't believe me, instead he started explaining me how nice Julia is, how sincerely she is taking care of our family. This was intolerable for me so I left that house with my brother.

But at that time my brother was of around five so my father legally took custody of my brother and take him away. He forced me many times but I didn't even want to step in there. So I bought my own house in Harvard and staying alone. I usually talk to my brother on call and video calls. And sometimes I went to meet him when no one is around. My step brother and sister are also same as Julia, full of pride and arrogance. They prefer to stay away from me, Becouse they know messing with me is injurious to there health. And my father he is so much of in love with Julia that he is not able to see his own childrens and his late wife. He is not my father anymore, I consider my father dead from the day when he preferred Julia over me. So at the end my family, my world is only my brother Nate.

So this was all about my so called family, now let me tell you about my life nowadays.

As I told you I am archeologist, and I'm on a flight to Peru for my research work. I will be there within few hours. I have researched my ruins of Egypt and Petra. I was also awarded as best young aspiring archeologist of the year that is why my senior decided to give me the project. I take this opportunity for some experience in my field.

Peru, I searched it on Google it's really a beautiful place with some ruins and forest. When I first heard about it I thought it would be waste of time but then on next morning I decided to give it a shot. And more over Peru, this place somehow seems to be familiar, althought I never visited there, then also. Anyways, Lets see tommorow, what treasure is hidden in Peru and what life shows us.

you will get back the same."

Hey guys after the long journey in the flight we have to board ferry from Columbia to Peru. I love travelling but I haven't rode on the ship before this. We are about to arrive on the shore of Peru. Our professor Hans was checking for our luggage. The sailsman instructed us to take our luggage after we get on the shore.

After thefew minutes we reach on the shore and it was so beautiful and historic as if we have travelled many years back in time. It is like I have travelled in different world. We got down on the beach and As soon as I walked around on the beach a strong heartache occurred in my chest like someone is Squizzing my heart from inside. The pain get stronger and stronger as I walk ahead. I can barely hold on to it. The pain get worsen. Finally I sat down on the beach closing my eyes and waiting for pain to run away.

After some deep breaths, pain slowly go away and I again stand up. Now I can walk around and I don't feel any pain.Like a gust of wind my pain goes away.

Behind I saw everyone was taking out there luggage and bags. I was having just by purse or I can say small bag. I went back on the ferry to take my luggage. There Sasha was asking Ivan to bring her bags.

Sasha asked me what happened to me when I get down, why I was sitting down on the beach. I lied that I was tired of standing and was enjoying the sand of the beach. Ivan and professor Hans bring all the luggage and bags of them, but wait what about me, I mean they haven't got my luggage out of the cabin.

I asked Ivan about mine one, he answered, this is all he got, there is no bages anymore in the basement or in the cabins. I rushed into my dorm but there was nothing, I checked the basement, but still there was nothing. I searched whole ferry, asked the sailsman about my bags they have no idea about it, then ,I insisted then to check CCTV footage, and guess what someone stole my bags. Like seriously a theif.On no there were two bags and both of them were stolen. And this cruise take no responsibility for it.

This became worst day of my life, I mean,I'm having a bad day, I was so frustrated, like my camera, my iPad,my clothes, footwear,books,accessories, some money, all were gone. Now I have nothing.

Looking at my situation, cruise offered me free shopping from near by shops, but of no use becouse these clothes were all traditional which I don't know how to wear and they are quite uncomfortable. I sadly get down from the ship there Sasha was waiting for me. Ivan and professor Hans went to check on hotel. Sasha console me and assure to use her things and clothes. Now I just have a small bag which have water bottle, some makeup, stopwatch, phone, antiseptic, my house keys, blueprint and some money with me.

I decided that I will be shooting and writing everything in my phone and then transfer it in my laptop after reaching home. I asked sasha to take her luggage to hotel and I went to market to get some food.

I went to hotel afterwards, as this is kind of village there are no luxurious hotels, they are typical rooms with a window at one end with a single bed in middle of room, a chair and table in one corner, a lamp near the bed and a washroom with just a shower.

I took some clothes like shorts and T-shirt from Sasha but they were loose to me as she was more curvy than me. But I need to adjust in this only. We all ate food together and soon evening turn into night. From my window whole town was visible and it looks amazing actually our hotel was on the top was the outside view was awesome. I just want to sit near my window and keep staring to the beautiful starry sky. The sky was full of stars like someone had sprinkled glitters on dark paper.

The town was shinning with lamps and lanterns. Slowly the lights start turning off and now it's time to sleep. Also I need to go to ruins on the next days so I went straight to the bed. The bed was clean with new bedsheet but you know a habit of clean freak so I still dust it. I was very tired from travelling, so I laid down on the soft and comfortable bed.Within a minute I fall asleep, but soon I wake up with jerk, I was having a terrible nightmare. I didn't remember about what I saw, but it was all dark, and I was getting hurt my inside. I pour some water in the glass,drink it , laid down again, take a deep breath and close my eyes, but wait......
