A great start!

Yesterday was awesome!!

The afternoon walk was relaxing. It made me feel like I was mentally and emotionally stable. As the wind made my hair dance along its tune, it felt as if it carried away all my worries. It made me a happy person. It gave me a chance to attend a meeting with the most outstanding person in the whole wide world, of course, that is, me. And that sorted 'me', reminded me that the guy I love is the last thing I need to be upset about because if he loves me and trusts me, he will come back. Then the obvious question arrived, 'what if he doesn't'. Well, 'she' told me that it wont really matter because a huge line of 'Anmay's will be at my door if he doesn't, because I'm just too good and just too hot.

What a beautiful day to fall in love with yourself!

So I went back to the hotel in the best of my moods to find Vicky still asleep, Alisha trying to wake her up and Myra capturing them on the cam. Wow! They really did grow up (note the sarcasm)! I went in the bathroom and brought a mug full of water and threw it on Vicky's face. "I'm drowning!" she yelled as she got up all scared.

"I'm sorry, but I just saved you from being captured on Myra's cam. Now get your ass up and get ready," I told Vicky who was giving me a death glare.

"I nearly died there," she screamed.

"You're alive, chill. We need to hurry up. We have only forty five minutes in our hands," I reminded.

"Okay, well, I went out when you were at the beach and I bought us all new dresses to wear tonight and they are not the same in color or design. Since you guys made this trip happen from your busy schedules for me, I'd like to treat you with dresses," Alisha put forward four dresses in front of us on the bed. "By the way, the beige colored is mine!"

I picked up the floral print from the bed. My closet did not have any floral print cotton dress. Vicky took the simple black dress, whereas Myra picked up the full length turquoise blue dress in crush pattern. She will rock that color. Since we did not have to fight for the dresses like we usually did, we started changing up. Myra braided her hair, Alisha tied a pony, Vicky did a messy bun while I let my hair be. I was just too bored to do them.

We all left the room and handed over our key to the reception, he informed us that the car was waiting for us in the parking. The guide correctly guessed his guests and introduced himself.

"I am Filip Martin and I will be your person tonight," he said.

"He looks hot," Alisha whispered in my ear.

"Do you wanna take him?"

"I don't think we can but I guess Vicky should try," she said.

"Is there a problem ladies," he politely asked.

"Nope, not at all," Alisha answered for us.

"So, shall we?"

"We may," Myra said.

He led us to the car and drove away. He made a nice conversation with us about how we liked Goa and how our stay has been. He told us a few things about the history and culture of Goa, and for a young man like him, and as mentioned by Alisha : hot, young man like him, he knew pretty much about the place.

"From when are you here?" Vicky asked. Okay, she might be taking some interest in this guy.

"I was born here and haven't left ever since," he answered, his smile never leaving his face. Doesn't his face hurt? Though it suits him.

"Didn't you ever think of leaving? Like, going out and exploring other places and all," she asked.

"I do, sometimes but I like where I am. It's like I haven't had enough of Goa that I would like to go someplace else to explore. It's like, Goa defines me. The beaches call me. I can surf and swim, and drink, I can dance, I can do whatever I want because this is Goa and Goa has a lot to give. So no, I don't wanna leave actually," he told.

The conversation went on until we reached our destination. "Where are we?" Myra asked. The daylight was fading.

"We are at the Mandovi river," he said when we spotted a cruise ship. "Welcome to the Santa Monica cruise ship."

We followed Filip towards the ship. Two ladies welcomed us with beautiful Hawaiian sort of garlands. This is so cool. I love Vivan for this so much, though I'd never admit it to his face. It's like a small, healthy rivalry between us, since Myra is the only subject we love and we want all the time. If she is with me, he snatches her away from me and when she is with him I try to get her away from him. It's mutual and it's fun. Nothing serious. "Come on board, ladies," Filip gestured.

The cruise was beautiful. It was in warm shades and decorated as if it were a bride. So our tour of Panaji, the capital of Goa, had now started via the waterways. The sky had now turned into a canvas which was painted in violets and reds and blues and oranges. They took us inside, in a while, which was even more lively. We sat on the one foot tall couches kept just behind a table bearing the fruits. This is royalty! I pluck a few grapes and threw it in my mouth.

We were then welcomed by the whole staff. They had arranged a few local dance programs for us and songs. It was all so fun. We even danced to their beats and tried their steps. Later they got us our food, first the starters, all sort of fishes, fried and kebabs. 'Finger licking delicious' was the only comment I could hear from them. There were arrangements made for me as well. I had nachos and manchurian for the starters. For them, main course was even more tastier with all those delicious curries. My goodness, they would have settled right here to eat this kind of food everyday. My main course was made up of paneer delicacies, as usual, but trust me, they were amazing and I have never had something as tasty as it before. So then came our deserts. From gulabjamun to ice creams, there was so much to eat. This was a feast. I was so in love with Vivan, but it was a brotherly love. 'He needs to give us surprises more often!' was the only thing I thought the whole while.

Then Filip took us on a small walk in the neighborhood. I pushed Myra ahead who was talking about how sweet Vivan was to do this for all of us. She just wont get tired of talking about him. Alisha joined us ahead in a few minutes. Thereafter we gave Vicky and Filip all the privacy we could. Even I am single and all but then I am also waiting and these girls don't know when about it yet, so I was just not looking for somebody to date. Whereas Vicky should actually go out there and find a guy. Maybe she'll get hooked up with Filip. He seems to be a nice guy.

So yesterday was picture perfect. We went to the hotel before 11 p.m though Vicky came back by 12. Yeah, we let her be with him. We did not question her much since we had to go to sleep so that we could rise early today for what I suppose is a boat ride. Yes, a freaking early morning boat ride. We reached the dock at 5 a.m. After another hour they issued us a motor boat with a lady driver to take us to the area where our guide was waiting for us to arrive. I am just so sleepy right now! I could give anything to sleep.

In a while we come across a bigger boat and to my surprise I see Filip!
