It was around 9 p.m in the valleys of Uttarakhand, Rahul wanted to capture some of the best moments at this place he is loving. He is passionate about watching starry nights and taking pictures. He was determined to have such a night as well. He knew that he came here for Jenny and thought to ask her whether she would like to join him. Jenny who kept being happy with small things in life immediately consented a yes for their night walk out. Their hill station was not far from where they are heading. It was indeed such a peaceful place and a recommended place to be for a break.
''Was it the dream of Jenny to come here?'' he wondered and asked.
Jenny looked at him and smiled because for the first time her husband asked her something about herself rather than about domestic chores and responsibilities. She blushed and nodded positively and added that she watched the place in a travel show in the television some years ago. She wanted to come here then but she understood that at that time, the house and Rahul's work were more important.
They were coming out from the gate of their hill station when a rickshaw driver splashed mud on the white shirt of Rahul when the driver stopped the rickshaw for his passengers to get off.
''Rahul, go and apologise to this uncle on what has happened while I am paying the fare.'' said Muskaan when she was getting out of the rickshaw. She knew that neither the driver nor the man who was walking with his wife were at fault.
''Yesss mom, should I befriend them too?'' asked Rahul who loves to meet and talk to new persons.
''Not today beta,it is a bit late, but if you want invite them for breakfast with us tomorrow.''added Muskaan.
''Okay Mom'' said Rahul when he was heading to the couple.
''Kitna hua bhaiya?'' asked Muskaan to the rickshaw driver in the same time when Rahul called the Mr&Mrs Rahul Sharma ''Uncle''
''Oh no, I need to change my shirt,'' said Rahul ''careless driver'' he added.
''That is fine, I will wait for you at the reception.'' replied Jenny.
''Uncle,''called young Rahul again.
''Did someone call me?''asked bearded Rahul to Jenny.
''I think the boy behind you is calling for you,'' replied politely Jenny.
The high spirit young guy ran to him and smiled.
''Hello Uncle, I am Rahul. Actually mom asked me to come to apologise on the mud splash. Please don't be angry.'' said Rahul in his usual chill tone.
''Oh Young boy, thats fine. what a coincidence, my name is Rahul as well.'' replied the blue eyed man with full fascination on the charisma of the new Rahul.
''Wow, uncle Rahul. Please join us for breakfast tomorrow. My mom will really like meeting you. Actually I like to introduce new friends to my mom.''added the chirpy Rahul.
Jenny was enjoying the scene as she never saw the sweet childish part of her husbad.
''Aunty, please come.'' requested Rahul.
''We are joining'' said the couple who were equally surprised on coincidentally they replied together.
''Wohooo. Mom,they are coming,'' shouted Rahul. ''Namaste uncle,namaste aunty,now I need to head to the little hotel.'' added Rahul,''please do come,''he ended.
That young buddy really made him smile wholeheartedly. He remembered he was as confident as the little boy. He must have proud parents,he wondered.Then he got a knock to reality about how much time has passed without even cherishing with his wife and did not meet the girl who resides in his heart.
''I think forget it, lets go like this.'' Rahul said
''Uncle,''the young Rahul shouted again, ''we will be waiting for you at7am for the breakfast''
Rahul had thumbs up gesture to the young one a sign of they would make it.

The forty three year old man was feeling suddenly really happy. He was weighing whether the fact he was enjoying the atmosphere of the place or the little conversation with a little boy who turns himself to be the latter new friend that is making him ecstasy.
The couple made their way to the valley while the mother and son went made their way to their booked hotel suite. Muskaan who was also carefree when she was young, knows that Rahul has the same spirit. She does not mind when he talked to new persons because she believed that the more she talked to new persons, the more the child personality and character enhance. She felt pretty cool that Rahul does not feel the voidness of his parents and he is actually growing up to a charming man. She is just as proud of her son like she used to be for her love. With some grey hairs, she understood that she did not change, just the reason that showed her personality or love modified.
They were really tired and she deicded to make an early move to the bed while letting Rahul to explore the hotel before he comes to sleep. He normally informs her and sticks to it. She has to go to the site early in the morning,at 9 am but before that she has the breakfast with Rahul's new friends.
Young Rahul was fascinated by the decor of the hotel and he felt very happy that he was convinced to come here. The polo match can be scheduled anytime but being here would not have been so. Coincidentally he made a new friend, the first day he came in as well. He was so tired to continue exploring the hotel and made his way to the suite as well. He is all excited to visit the place tomorrow and perhaps he can ask his new friend whether they mind to have him with them when they are going to visit tourist attraction places.
The couple was enjoying as well. First time that Jenny showed a genuine smile in her husband's face. Jenny was not only enjoying the company but she is feeling that after this night, the voidness between them might close. She was thinking whether to talk to him openly or listen to him. She opted the second one, she let herself be the companion to hear and see the childish part of Rahul.
Rahul was enjoying taking precise pictures of starry nights, of the horizon reflecting the moon, of the bats flying to the tree and anything he feels like taking picture. He did not realise that it came naturally at the moment to tell Jenny some of his likes and showed himself to her. He respectd Jenny for being the listener all the time and respected that she knew he was never hers and therefore she did not talk about herself to him.
An hour of walk in the valley, sweet and lovely, made the couple decided to head back where they are heading. Both being early wakers, they knew they could make the breakfast to the new boy.
*************************************************************************
Jenny rise the curtain to enjoy the beautiful morning scenery from their room and woke up Rahul as well before she went to shower and dressed up for the beautiful day. Coincidentally it was the same thing at Muskaan side as well with the exception that she prepared her bag for her to go to the site after the breakfast.
''Good Morning'' said both Rahul in their respective room.
''Are we going to religious places today.''asked Rahu to Jenny,
''I was thinking that we visit those tourists attraction as well and then next week, we go to the religious place,if this is fine to you.'' answered Jenny.
''Okay.'' he replied.
Both family dressed up and went to the restaurant where they will take the breakfast.
''Book one table of five,I think'' asked Rahul to Jenny when they reached the restaurant and I will wait for the boy and his parents here itself.
Jenny nodded and obeyed.
''Mom, I am heading to the restaurant,you come when you are all dressed.'' said young Rahul when he was leaving the room.
''Yeah beta, i need to just make sure that all files I have taken and then I am joining you guys.''
Rahul was running chirpily to the breakfast. He is excited to talk to the couple he met.
''Hello Uncle,you were waiting for us.'' said the young boy when he met the man.
''Yes dude, where are your parents?'' asked Rahul.
''I came here with my mother and she is coming in a while, let's go to the table, she is coming in some seconds.'' replied the young boy.
''As you wish Rahul'' agreed Rahul.
''Good Morning Aunty,'' greeted Rahul to Jenny.
''Good Morning Rahul, how are you?'' replied Jenny.
''I am fine,what is the plan for today?'' asked the young boy.
The couple was enjoying his questions to them, ''well beta, we will be going to visit the dam, the tibetian border, the famous lake and many more tourist attractions.'' replied Jenny.
''Oh wow,that sounds so fun. Can I join in? I will be bored watching mom on the site'' he asked innocently.
They smiled.
''You need to ask your mother,''they replied
''She will be fine with it.'' he replied.''here she comes.'' Rahul added whenhe beckoned Muskaan to join them.

Muskaan nodded and made her way to his son and his elder friends. She wore a beautiful white saree today, she normally wears western outfit but as she was going to meet her employees who are working in this site for the first time, she likes to make them feel at ease when behaving like them.
''Hello beta,'' said Muskaan while she gave him a kiss in his cheek.
This voice striked Rahul. Suddenly he felt that Muskaan is really close to him. He started having a mixed sweet feeling but he knew he was dreaming. He was excited to know the parents of this wonderful child.
''Mom, this is uncle Rahul,the uncle I met yesterday and aunty Jenny.'' said Rahul cheerfully.
''Rahul'' sighed Muskaan. Suddenly she felt as if she missed a heart beat. After a decade, she felt that her heart still beating heavily. She thought Rahul,the man she fell so deeply in love just by hearing another man with the same name.
Muskaan turned to the couple to greet them.
