It all started in 2025. Our planet had recently recovered from a pandemic which took away thousands of lives but still.......we all survived and life came back to normal after many efforts of ours and our world leaders. But who knew that this pandem...
'Putri! Ye aap dono ke liye kuch vastra hain.........Aap dono jayiye aur jaa kar sanan kar lijiye!' (My child! These are clothes for you both..........Both of you go and take bath!) An old woman told both Umika and Khyati. They both thanked the woman and took clothes from her.
It was early in the morning. Umika and Khyati, along with some other girls of the Ashram made their way towards the forest near Ashram.
They had to walk very little inside the Ashram and in no time, a small stream of fresh running water, coming down from Om parvat, was visible.
With a white cloth wrapped around their body, they began enjoying their bath in the cold and fresh water of the stream.
(I love this bgm ❤✨)
The girls were splashing water here and there and Khyati was talking to some girls of their age while relaxing in the water.
Umika, on the other hand, was sitting on a rock, rubbing sandalwood paste on her skin. Though she was rubbing sandalwood paste on her skin..................but her mind was completely lost in the thoughts of the one who likes ash of cremation ground.
A lost smile was adoring her face as flashes of past night were running in her mind.
His calm and peaceful image, while sitting in Dhyan, as if nothing in this world mattered. The way he was smiling at her warmly, not bothered that she actually walked into his territory.
His brown eyes held so much warmth that the whole universe can bath with his compassion.
A slight blush formed on Umika's as she remembered him clutching onto her waist when they literally jumped from Om Parvat.
She could still feel his hand in her hand even when it was not. The respect that he gave her when he apologized for touching her without her permission.
His bravery............his bravery has casted a spell on Umika like never before.
Khyati noticed Umika smiling and blushing to herself only. She splashed some water on her face and Umika got startled for a moment. Umika looked at Umika and questioned her through eyes.
Umika smiled the same smile she has been smiling since the time they got here and nodded a no while casting her eyes down to continue her work. For some reason, Khyati felt that she casted her eyes down due to shyness.
Umika also entered the running water and cleaned herself.
They all dried themselves and then wore their clothes.
Khyati noticed that Umika's mood was much uplifted than she has seen in years. As they all walked back through the forest, the little creatures and birds of the forest were making noises which sounded like a sort of nature song.
Today Umika didn't even tied her hair like she always does. Instead she kept them open and on the way back, they found a a tree of night jasmine. The flowers on the tree were closed but those which had fell freshly in the morning, Umika picked them up, made a quick hair accessory out of it and wore it in her hair.
