I opened the curtains and looked to the whitish morning fog resting on the hills ahead of me.I always wanted to live on the hills and watch that beautiful scene from my window and today it had became real.I glanced at the clouds floating below me on the down hill above the coniferous forest.There was complete silence and far from behind our town I could hear the sound of the train's horn.The dawn of mountains is so beauteous.
"Child ! Wake up. Mamma is cooking you breakfast,go get ready and dress yourself then come down"I heard the sound from near my closed door.Mamma would have surely came to my floor to take my school bag down.
It was my first day at school.My father was transferred to the Textile Manufacturing of Manali. And so my mother,my father and I had shifted to my dream place "hills" and got this new cottage.We took the small but pleasing cottage,having a small dining place with bonfire area,one bedroom and bathroom at the first floor that was for me,and another bathroom and bedroom and a tiny kitchen on the ground floor.Well that was our pretty house.I was admitted to Delhi Public School Manali. Today was my first day at class 10 and I was only nervous about meeting new people and teachers.I wanted to make many friends and gear a great start.
I ate bread and a glass of milk,took my schoolbag and started to walk to the nearby general store that was assigned to me as my bus stop.
Reaching there I saw there was already a DPS guy waiting for the bus.He was a tall guy having a fluffy brown hair and black beard with light brown eyes and eyebrows.He looked like a typical mountain boy,white face and a cute look with a pink blush and a tint of pink color on his lips.He took a glance of me and suddenly started a conversation.
I got to know him,his name was Raghav and he was in my section only "Ten A".He had a calm and friendly nature, and talked very politely and kindly.I liked him and his way of talking.When the bus arrived he asked me to sit with him so that he can tell more about the class,as joining in the mid session can be a bit difficult.After minutes, the first morning sun rays were flashing from behind the hills to our bus windows .His eyes' pupils were a lot more brightened and his beard seemed to gleam at the golden rays.For a moment or two I inadvertently stopped my eyes at his eyes and started starring him and I realized that he had also stopped speaking and had started to stare at my eyes with a very intense look.An awkward moment was created.After a loud horn of the bus we came to reality and both of us started blushing.I don't know why but I loved that moment.It feels so special to even think of it again.His eyes showed his interest towards me.I though I had started liking him.
We reached school.The campus was nice and large,he took me to our classroom,and took the initiative from the class teacher to inaugurate me to the school.He instigated to introduce me to his friends and my other classmates.My classmates and all the teachers were also very friendly and supportive.
He and some girls of the class helped me to complete all my pending work of the session only in two weeks.And I made really great friends.But maximum times I used to stay with him only.At evenings we would walk together and used to share our experiences on life.Many times we used to lock our eyes without even knowing and would blush suddenly when we came to know.I knew by now that I had made a best friend and maybe I had even started liking him very much....
One fine day after a month or so,he asked me to come with him so that he can show me his most favorite spot of Manali.I accepted his idea,and he took me to a hilly non motile forest area where he brought me to a beautiful place that had a small delta region of brooks and lush greenery of trees and bushes surrounding our ambience.The birds were chirping their evening song.It felt really special standing there with him.Suddenly he looked at me very deeply, did an unusual grin and told me about how much he liked me,and that, from the first day he met me,he felt very familiar and after I came to his life he got a real friend and recovered his loneliness that he used to feel.I was astonished with a really genuine happiness from my heart.Then I also expressed my feelings for him,the way I had started liking him very much and that I also got a best person of the world and a great friend.We were both really happy and then we holded our hands and sat together,touching our feet to the wintry cold water surface of the brook and talking and laughing together.
From that day on wards we are the like made for each other people.One year has passed and Manali is still embellished with hills and trees and the same freshness it felt when I first visited here.He has became my best friend and boyfriend,He still sits with me on the bus and the whitish morning fog still rests on the hills ahead of me..............
