It was almost two o'clock in the afternoon. The sun was blazing hot in the clear blue sky. There wasn't even a breeze blowing that could help cool down the incessant sweat.
Kunj wiped his brow with the back of his hand and grimaced as it came back covered in salty water. He shook it off and squinted his eyes trying to find the woman who called him here.
"She has lost it!" He exclaimed in irritation as he looked around.
The air was beginning to heat up and his eyes were beginning to hurt from the constant blue.
"Who in their right mind will want to come out in this heat?" He wiped his brow again and huffed.
He was about to turn around and sit in the cold comfort of his car when he heard a distant shout.
Looking out over the lake, he shielded his eyes and saw a girl waving her hand at him.
He removed his hand and gave a stern smile.
"That's it. She's gonna get it today." He spoke annoyingly, before jogging his way to her.
Twinkle laughed as Kunj approached her, dragging his feet and panting for his breath.
"Saari hava nikal gayi kya?" She laughed even harder.
All Kunj could do was glare his eyes at her.
He fell down beside her and laid down on the dirt, with his arms spread out. Twinkle's laughter forced a smile out of him too.
Kunj winced as something cold hit his face. Opening his eyes, he saw Twinkle was splashing water on him from the lake.
"Twinkle, stop that. You know how dirty that water is." He reprimanded, getting up.
"Oh come on Kunj. It's so hot today. Ab toh nakre karna band karo." She said, splashing more water at him.
"It's hot? Thank you so much for telling me. Here I was thinking that I would need to sleep in extra covers tonight because of all the snow that's falling." He said sarcastically.
Twinkle laughed.
"Look, I didn't force you to come. You came because you wanted to." She walked over to where she was seated before and picked up a long, green looking stick.
Kunj straightened up, ready to run, as she approached him.
"Relax, I'm not going to hit you." She consoled, knowing exactly what was on his mind. "Here." She offered the stick to him.
Kunj took it with wary hands. As he got a grip on it, he looked at it weirdly, not exactly knowing what to do with it.
Twinkle on the other hand, sat down beside him with her legs dangling in the water.
"What are you looking at? Start eating." She said, taking a bite out of her own stick.
Kunj's eyes popped out in surprise as he saw her chew.
Twinkle looked at him in disbelief as he was simply sat there dumbfounded.
"What? Aise kya dekh re ho?"
"What are you doing?" He asked in shock.
"Eating sugarcane. What are you doing?" She asked, spitting out the now unsweetened cane.
"You mean to say, I can eat this?" Kunj asked, holding his own cane afar.
"Kunj don't tell me that you don't know what a sugarcane is! Tum Punjabi ho kar..." Kunj rubbed the back of his neck embarrassed as Twinkle got agitated.
"Here you eat it like this," Twinkle showed, shaking her head.
Kunj looked at her carefully and followed. His eyebrows rose up as the sweet juice of the sugarcane flowed into his mouth. Twinkle flashed her pearly teeth as she got excited in seeing Kunj's excitement.
Kunj too, turned around and dangled his feet in the water. Twinkle scooted over to him and started her regular chattering.
The sweet juice from the cane, the cool water from the lake, and the incessant bubbly chirping from Twinkle, removed all the heat he was feeling earlier.
