CHAPTER 2 : Halycon days at Gaylon School

Selene's P.O.V

Selene readies for her first day in Gaylon School. She brushes her hair, after a hot shower and pairs up with a high ponytail. Selene applies a beige compact, red lipstick and a volumness mascara to thicken her eyelashes.

Selene wears a high-waisted white denim paired with a cantaloupe slit kurta to look lively with invigorating light orange colour.

Inspired by the luscious melon, this zesty hue on the softer side remains juicy and vibrant. This colour has gained popularity for adding fresh energy to the wearer.

On June 1st, Gaylon School organises a trip to a resort for reviving the teacher's energy and make them cheer up.

Selene gets an auto-rickshaw from her gate to reach the Gaylon School.

Selene asks: Bhaiya....can we go to Gaylon School..?

Auto driver replies...Yes mam!!!

While she travels in a rickshaw, gentle breeze leaves few strands of hair to fall on her cheeks. When stepping to School, she finds her colleagues had already arrived at the venue.

Selene mingles with some colleagues as it is her first day at School. Liandra and Selene get well together on day one.

Liandra - Hi.... good morning.

Selene - Good morning...I am Selene and your name..?

Liandra - I'm Liandra. Are you the new teacher??

Selene replies...Yea...!!!

Selene and Liandra talk about the dress code of the school, their personal choices and whereabouts.

The vibes of Selene and Liandra matches well as both belong to South India.

Liandra is a decade elder than Selene and behaves responsibly. Selene and Liandras' natives are the neighbouring states, that made it easy to get along.

The teacher's get bus to reach the Enchanted Isle Resort. Selene and Liandra occupy the two-seater in bus.

Feana, Eva and Christy occupy the three-seaters beside Selene's seat.

The bus reach the resort within an hour.

The day is not hot nor gloomy, but the rays of sunshine glare at Selene's face.

The teachers step out of the bus. Tickets gets reserved by Hudson, who serves as the highest authority in Gaylon School. The teachers are then left to explore the resort.

Liandra and Selene have a walk together and stay under a tree. Air soothes the energy levels and oxygen in their bloodstream.

Liandra: I am gonna stay here, I can't step into the water.

Selene: Why mam???....

Liandra: I get allergies when exposed to chlorinated water.

Feana, Eva and Christy change into a T-shirt and half shorts to dive into the water. They ask Selene to join them.

Selene wears a blue linen printed kurta embedded by golden linings pairing up with black leggings.

Selene, Feana, Eva and Christy use sunscreen on the exposed body parts before jumping into the pool.

They have fun in the pool by holding hands and bouncing when the waves seep in. Besides, enjoying the pool, they enter the rain disco to dance along the music beat when the shower hit their heads.

Teachers form a line on the pool to click photos. Some teachers float in the water, others do water-sliding.

Selene in pool remembers Kane and happy moments hits back sending chills to her spine.

Selene misses Kane and she expresses a sad face keeping those thoughts in mind.

But why did Selene suddenly feel lonely?

Did Kane mind linked with Selene?.....

Feana notices Selene's expression and questions her like... " Are you alright?"...

Selene replies...I am fine...

Mid-day sun hits the head of pool players. So we grab snacks like cotton candy, ice candy, popcorns salted, cheese and caramel flavours to relish our taste buds.

Selene and Eva feel tired, after paddling their legs on the pool, they occupy a space in a resort to have a talk about their life.

Both of them talk about their married life and have a heart-to-heart conversation.

Eva takes tablets with water.

Selene asks... Why are you taking tablets now ?

Eva replies... I got a miscarriage a few days back after my wedding...

Selene replies... Oh... I am sorry to hear this....but how it happened...?

Eva replies. . The foetus was not well-formed..so it got aborted...

A Tsunami surfaces the whole place and a huge wave sweeps her house into the very depth of the ocean kingdom. She feels like cut short of oxygen supply, but surprisingly she was able to breathe.

Bioluminescence are emitted by jellyfishes in the arena of ocean. The coral reefs, ocean dwellers, fishes like salmon, tuna, octopus and shell-fishes swim in the ocean.

In dreams, a man appears with a cheerful smile.
