Chapter 25

Next day in the morning, we all get up and got freshen up. Nearly in an hour all of us are sitting in the canteen waiting for our breakfast, today staff told us that breakfast would be a surprised for us as we want to explore the flavors of this town. However, we have to wait some more minutes for it so, I heard them talking how the leader took out only four member of the group back to home and other eight members are leaving today for some other near by town. So, in short only twelve members left.

We may have waited for around five minutes or more, soon breakfast come they place it on our table with a covered cloche and when they remove the cloche it surprised us because they have made an Indian cuisine breakfast for us. The cook specially took the initiative to introduce us with the dish

Hotel Cook: Here is something Indian for you all, Aloo Paratha and it is made by no yeast dough rolled with a mixture of hot potatoes and spices. For you guys, we have added little spices as this is may be your first time to eat something like this. Please enjoy.

However, hearing about it doesn't surprise me at all because my mom used to make it sometime but having it now with curd and pickle is really amazing, though I am loving eating it with curd more. And I also notice other enjoying it too very much mostly girls eating it with pickle and rest of them with curd only. Soon we completed our food and leave hotel to visit the open and rather than taking any cab or bus to reach there we choose to walk, because of two main reasons.. one is continuous raining from yesterday roads are filled of water so, vehicle would probably going to stuck up and second is, everything from here is not that much far rather they are bit closed by. Plus we all are prepared for the trekking so, walking won't be going to hurt that much and it would be fun too.

We walked for may be 1:30 hours, reach to an old fort. Though many of the walls are broken but some are intact from that time to this time and it looks beautiful and whole place is filled with greenery, here I am seeing eagles that too so much close and many others plus there is small pond where ducks are swimming too. Everyone of the member are clicking their picture and surroundings pictures and here I am alone just adoring the beauty of nature. This is how I love to capture the moments in my eyes rather than clicking photos or storing them on our SD cards. We stayed there for may be forty minutes then we leave for a nearby church, we walk for thirty minutes and reach there and again its was an old build church but there is no damage wall and to be honest this is the most peaceful peace I have ever visited.

Like this only we spend our next week in exploring the town as well as eating the different type of cuisine such as Thai, Continental, Chinese and Indian and I learned many new things in this trip like, relationships of belongingness are better than blood relations, I started loving rain one of the main reason for this is that now I have so many beautiful and happy memories attached to it and at difficult situations never try to back off, fight hard you may fall but never ever think of giving up. With these thoughts in my mind and some of the experiences that I leaned we all boarded the bus together, those whose house is on the way, they got down from the bus there.

My bus stop is at the last so, I got down there. I stepped in the house and it feels like no one is here right now, may be all of them are busy in some work. So, I choose to follow a bit of sounds I am hearing because initially they don't come to greet me plus I want to see my mother. To be honest I am attached to my mother more though I don't expressed or share it with her but I care for her more and even I am concerned for her more than anyone else in my family. By following the voice, I come to kitchen see my mother is lost in working so, she doesn't notice me.

Siya: (cheerfully) Hey mom!!

She got startled at first but turn to look at my face, though her expressions and eyes showed surprise but it changed into happiness.

Mother: Wow hey dear. I didn't knew that you are going to come today, how are you? I heard in news, about the cloud burst and we tried to call you but network weren't available. How it goes? Did you enjoyed it?

Siya: (uff so many questions) Relax mom. Everything is fine, I enjoyed a lot and it goes really well and yeah network issue was there but you know it was so peace full, a week without phone.

Mother: Huhh are you mad, what type of thinking is this?

Siya: (rolling eyes) leave it mom, I am going to freshen up then I would eat done food and lastly I would sleep because I am feeling very tired.

My mother nodded at me so, I picked up my bags and go into my room. It takes around thirty minutes for me to get my self fresh and after this I damp my dirty clothes in the washing machine and turned it on. After this I go to eat my dinner early because it seven in the evening and I just wanted to go and sleep as I am exhausted so, once dinner is done no one is going to disturb me later for it. While eating food I only interacted with my grandmother and mother because all others are busy. After dinner I called it a night.

Next day onward I start following a proper schedule that is, Monday to Friday till lunch time I do my school assignments or projects after completing lunch till six in the evening either I read novel, write poems or articles in my diary or listen to music even sing too. After dinner I follow the same schedule with interval. On weekend I used to visit library daily in the evening after lunch, and sit and there for some hours and read books.

Basically, I made this schedule so, I could spend less time with my family or to ignore their nonsense behavior and even I don't have friends too, in fact I never intended to make friends I am so much into reading book, writing diary and into music that I never needed it but I have friends in college and I miss them very much sometime.

All of my vacations just got spent like this, I am excited to go to school tomorrow because finally this whole schedule will finally broke and may be I would get to explore more of this town. May be I could spend more time with friends and Erik too, yeah I missed him too. Somehow I am feeling little bit strange too, a weird thought that is coming to mind repeatedly is that may this time future holds something different.

Though as soon as such thought come to my mind, I face palmed and internally scolded myself for stop reading fantasy books so much as those books are spoiling my mind and with these thoughts I called it a night.
