So, they would have returned directly after holi if it wasn't for Insiyaa.......

She had another plan!

On the way she suggested to Sumen why not spend another few hours more.......

she was most excited to visit this place !

And when he informed her brothers and other trekkers, they agreed too.

Valley was called Kheerganga!

apparently the last inhabited village on the trekking route. Sumen told them it was mostly famous for it's pretty as picture coniferous forest and crystal clear mountain streams. They saw beautiful waterfalls, apple orchards, lush expanses of greenery, hot water springs and Shiva Temple.....

it was perfect!

No doubt she was excited! They stayed until next day and left at sun down.

'so, what history this Valley have, Insu ?' Shawkat asked, just to amuse himself

"oh that....?

well, it is an important destination for Hindus as well as Sikhs. Some believed that Kartikeya, son of Lord Shiva and Parvati meditated at Kheerganga. Goddess Parvati would cook Kheer (rice pudding) in the hot water springs of the region, hence the name came.... Kheerganga.

According to another legend Guru Nanakji while visiting his disciple in this region removed a giant stone and this is where the Hot Springs appeared."

''right'' Rahat muttered while Sankalp chuckled shaking his head, Blaze pressed his lips together fighting an impressed smile.

But from yesterday something has changed......it was true that finally exhaustion of 10 days catching up with everyone but still!

From after last night's holi, Blaze didn't say a word or even looked at her. Not even today, when they went for a little sight seeing and walked around......

He ignored her like she wasn't visible at all. She felt a little bad......a heaviness on her heart, she blinked away the stinging sensation at the back of her eyes,.......

reality finally came crushing down on her!

Everything was crystal clear.......!

like a clear sky after a very VERY heavy downpour!

He was nothing but a person she met on a journey,......

and he thought of her like that too.....

and that's it!

and it was true!

and he was probably used to it......those admiration, little flirting...

and to her, he was an unfamiliar good looking strangers she felt attraction for......

but it happens everyday.....to many people like her at her age, so nothing new there!

to every boy when they see some hot chick on tv or walking infront of them ......,

to every girl when they see their crush, their favourite character on tv channel or social media, an all........

though she never had a crush before!

no one ever appealed her.......until now!

she wasn't supposed to crave for a stranger's attention but she never felt anything like this before......as if something crawling in her heart and scratching violently it, one look just one look and.....it would sooth the itch.

she never craved it so bad!

"He.Is.A.Stranger! heisastranger heisastranger heisastranger" She kept muttering few times closing her eyes before taking a deep breath.
