Chapter 6

They had the best memories there. They made good time together there. It was the best memorable first trip, which made them so close to each other. 

Payal and Rakesh were lying on a sheet near streams. Rakesh told her while patting her stringy hair wave on the side of her face and said: Payal don't you think like we have met before birth in this world. 

"But I don't feel the same, I don't think so."

Rakesh get sad, he was looking into her eyes like he was searching some kind of hidden feelings and emotions deep into her eyes. But Payal turned on the other side. 

Before Rakesh says something further, Payal continued her sentence while saying, "instead I feel like after ours this much frankness I feel we are still strangers"

Rakesh replies, "Yes Payal someone says very true that men are so much foolish, even with a slight smile of girls they think they have gained that diva girl but truth is always something else"

Rakesh got up and brought the violin from inside the camp and started playing it. First its tune was light and calm and later it turned up and its tune and melody just started mixing an environment, running stream, tall trees and calm greens. Payal was  feeling this tune. Like it was anchored  her heart and she felt like current is running down her spine. She was feeling every single wave disturbance by this tune.  As Rakesh stoped playing the tune. And as Payal switched off from her imaginations. She shouted "shit, its burned out"

"What?? Your heart or my love? " Rakesh said so.

"It's fish  frying pan!" while tapping on her forehead. "If we could not quench our hunger, both of our love and hearts will burn out" she said sarcastically.

"But I don't feel the same, I don't think so." Rakesh get sad, he was looking into her eyes like he was searching some kind of hidden feelings and emotions deep into her eyes. But Payal turned to the other side.

"It's Good, at least we would be called mates in hunger times"

Rakesh started packing his violin in black case the way any mother was treated, her child carefully with love. Payal was reading his sad face silently as some kid is sad after his toy.

While switching the mood and topic she said, "I had no idea you can play this violin so perfectly and beautifully."

"But it is worthless to play it, if it could not move ones heart"

"how could you say this, Rakesh"

""When someone was more interested in smelling burning fish how can I say that one person was so deeply lost in my tune"

Payal got numb after listening his claim, then she burst into laughs. 

"why made you laugh this way Payal"

"what was I thinking that why these men have so much sensitive heart?"

"And women?" Rakesh asked her and sit on the bench. 

"Well, my dear, " she picked his face in both of her hands and made him touch listened his heart. 

Her heart was pounding out of her chest. Rakesh looked up into her eyes. Her eyes were shining like a diamond. He was feeling sinking deep into her eyes with every other passing second. 

Payal broke the ice and said: "see, how your tune made the love popped up deep into my heart, and how desperate it is to hug some stranger sitting next to it"

Current has run down the spine of Rakesh because never before this he got as such closeness to any girl. He was blushing. Their bodies were radiating heat. And warming and charging each others body. Meanwhile clouds on the top of mountain top thunders and they both gets separated.

In a while the stormy air hit in. Both of them started collecting things and get them into the car before storm get raised than the storm inside of them.
