This is more than 'liking'
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 eye lock. At that moment I saw something flicker in her eyes too.
What was it some realization? Don't know but it seemed as if she also wanted to stay like this forever. We both were so immersed in each other that we came back to reality only when the fire went out. She slowly got up and I helped her to get when I put a hand on her waist I again felt that weird feeling which now much seemed like 'liking' or I was enamored. Maybe I somewhat really liked this feeling.
I got up too and even if there was no light but from the moonlight that was sneaking in through the dense forest I could see her expressions which were pretty much like mine 'lost in the moment' 'lost in each other'.
But suddenly out of nowhere my phone started ringing firstly I was disappointed and was about to curse it when I realized that there was signal so someone was trying to contact me. I picked up the phone but the signal was lost again so it got disconnected.
"Who was it?" She asked a little bit hopeful.
"Don't know it got disconnected maybe Nikhil but we have to get out of here fast so let's try this way" I told her while indicating to a way.
"Okay let's go" she nodded and started going.
We did not talked the whole way I only stole glances of her and coincidentally she was doing the same. Once we both saw each other at the same time and to my surprise we both blushed and looked to other side. I was feeling embarrassed so I decided to break the silence.
"So who is your idol? Like who is your inspiration" I asked cuz I was not able to think of some other thing.
"Well my dad. He is my inspiration. He is my idol." She said quite proud.
"Why?" I asked cuz I had to elongate the discussion to avoid any other embarrassing situation.
"Well cuz he is so perfect he is a perfect father a perfect friend a perfect husband. I would like to become like him some day." She said getting a little bit emotional. To lighten the situation I had to break a joke.
"So you want to be a perfect father and perfect husband?" I asked trying to be seriously shocked.
"No you stupid I meant I would like to be perfect not husband and father" she replied quite annoyed but still smiling.
"Oh you see I'm a little slow witted" I told her making a puppy dog face.
"So what you like about your dad?" She asked.
"Well he is well he is he" I said quite confused.
"What do you mean by he is he" she said.
"Well I think he is just a very nice person but a little bit annoying some of the times" I explained.
"Let me get this straight. You don't like him that much do you?" she asked.
"No no it's not like that it's like I love him but won't go to tell him because all he would is give lecture that how to express their love to parents. Cuz for me I do everything wrong" I told her.
"You know what my dadi always keep telling me how to live life how to do everything but it doesn't mean that I leave any opportunity to tell her how much I love her. So if you look into your situation in another way then it's like your father just want you to be on the right path just wants to protect you. He doesn't want you to fall rather only rise. So it's their love not interference in our life." She told me in a calm tone.
"Hmm you know what you should write book on this kind of thing I'm sure you will do great. But jokes apart you are right I never thought like this. Thanks for putting this sense in me." I told her sincerely.
"Okay bachcha haven't you heard this dosti mein no sorry no thank you. Kisi bahut gyani insaan ne kaha hain" She told me making a serious face.
"Kis mahan insaan ne kaha hain Navya maate ne?" I asked her more seriously.
We both burst out laughing and we laughed like hell then only we stopped when we realized that we were in a forest in the middle of the night.
But after sometime she laughed a little bit more and I just loved the scene. She laughing like crazy and wind started blowing a little bit heavily so her hairs started coming on her face. A bunch of hair was just on her eyes and was disturbing her. I got near her and just took that hair out of her eyes but in this process I accidentally touched her cheeks which gave me a shiver and her too. At that moment when we were so close I looked at her in the moonlight she looked like some goddess. And then I looked at her lips and at that very moment I had a sudden urge to kiss her and I couldn't control myself. I stepped towards her. By now she had stopped laughing and was looking at my eyes intently. She also stepped forward. Now we were inches away our noses almost touching and we both could feel the spark.
Then somewhere a little far away an animal howled and we were shot back to reality. The reality was that we knew each other only for one day and two nights. The moment became very awkward so we just paced away in the forest trying hard not to look at each other. But I was still caught up by that moment that closeness that spark that I felt between us was result of something more than 'liking'.
"Anant look I think we reached the sarange view point" she said excited making me come out of my thoughts.
"Hmm looks like that, come we should take little rest here then we can again go" I told her.
"Okay" she said.
I can still feel that she was embarrassed about that moment. We went up a little and we saw some chairs and sat there. Since it was very cold we tried to sit near each other but the moment was getting very awkward so we rather decided to maintain some gap. But it was too much cold and there was no fire so we snuggled up. The feeling being so close to her was not seeming weird now but rather it was clearing up and I got the impression that what I feel for her is much more than 'liking'.
