Is it a dream?
"What if you slept?
And what if,
In your sleep
You dreamed?
And what if,
In your dream,
You went to Heaven
And there plucked
A strange and
Beautiful flower?
And what if,
When you awoke,
You had the flower
In your hand?
Ah, what then?"
In that one moment I felt so much. I don't know what it was but all I know is that it felt amazing. I don't know how long I was there holding her on that cliff It felt like an eternity. And I didn't want to go away or even move cuz I was so lost in her. She looked up at me with frightened eyes and said, "are going to move or have you planned to go to hell today?" I came out of my daze and moved to a safer place but I didn't loosen my grip maybe cuz I was still frightened that something would happen to Navya or maybe I just didn't wanted to let go of her.
"Thank you Anant thanks a lot for saving my life today" she told me really grateful.
"No that's okay. Well now some clarifications what the hell are you doing here in the jungle this
late?" I asked her a little angry.
"Well long story" she said in bored mood.
"Well it's a long way back out of the jungle so start what were you doing?" I asked her.
"After I stopped chatting with you harsh and me were making plans about going out tonight to see the full moon at sarange view point. But since maasi would not allow so we got out without telling her and to reach there we had to trek a little through the forest. Since Harsh knows the path really well I was not worried when we were heading that view point I suddenly heard the song 'Tum ho mera pyar' and I was really frightened cuz the setting was so perfect for ghosts. Although I don't believe in all those things but still the movie is so terrifying so I was frightened. I stopped at that place and looked back but there was no one but by the time I looked back my brother was nowhere to be seen. That totally freaked me out and I got so nervous that I started running like hell and shouting and most probably ran in the opposite direction and then I reached the cliff so that's it" she told me worried.
"Sorry that was me I was listening to that song by the forest but it was not a frightening song for sure" I told her.
"What that was you! Are you mad? Who the hell listen's to that song at night?" she asked.
"It's not a scary song in fact it was very romantic in the movie" I told her sure of myself.
"But the movie is very scaring. Hey aren't you coming from US and then now you are in Ooty. My gosh so much similarity" she laughed.
"Wait I didn't get you? What do you mean?" I asked her.
"Haven't you seen the movie, the guy is NRI and then he visits India and comes to Ooty and then all the bhutia happenings" she told me in a hoarse tone.
"Wait he was from UK and he came to Delhi then Ooty in my case it was Mumbai" I told her.
"I guess we are mad we are talking about a horror movie in a jungle at night and what we actually should do is find my brother" she told me making an 'I'm good for nothing' face.
"Yeah let's go find your brother" I told her.
We started getting inside the jungle. We were walking for like so long and then I realized that Navya was really tired so I suggested we should take rest for some time so we sat under a tree. But as we stopped walking we started freezing so she suggested to lit fire.
"Okay Anant get me two stones I'll try to lit up some fire" she told me in an ordering tone.
"No need of stones" I said while I took out my lighter and lighted fire.
"You smoke?" she asked exactly shocked.
"Uh huh? Of course not well I love this lighter cuz its in a dragon shape and its silver plated and" I was telling her when she cut me off.
"Okay get don't wanna hear your lighter ki kahaani Anant ki zubaani" she told me laughing.
"Okay so you tell me something about you then" I stated.
"You know last time visited Ooty'''''''''." She went on her bak bak but I so just loved the way she speaks I don't know what she is saying right now but when her lips sway they look awesome and those weird expressions she gives when she talks are absolute breath stealers. She is awesome.
"So you get it Anant?" she asked.
"Oh yeah absolutely" I said.
"So tell me what your opinion about it is?" she asked again.
"Well it's just that it is I don't know I mean you are right my opinion is same as yours" I answered her hesitating.
"Yeah I'm always right especially in these matters you see I think we had enough rest we should get going now" She told me.
"Okay" I told her.
But before we could get up she shouted like hell made a sudden movement towards me or I should say she jumped at me and she directly landed on my lap. Most probably she saw something moving in the grass and jumped. She freaked me out she made my breathing heavy. When I looked into her eyes and felt like I was drowning into them and believe me I didn't wanted to come out of that eyelock. At that moment I saw something flicker in her eyes too.
