Abhyudaya, Gautami, Mythpat, Urmila, Pranav, Mansi and Saiman are standing at the entrance of their hotel, taking in the scenic beauty of Shillong.
Gautami (excitedly): This place is even more beautiful than I imagined!
Mythpat (spreading his arms wide and breathing in the newfound atmosphere): The air here is so fresh. It is like we have stepped into a different world.
Abhyudaya (smiles): I cannot wait to explore every corner of this place with you guys.
Urmila (laughs): Let us make the most of it!
Pranav (points to the itinerary): Day one. Explore the local markets. Ready, everyone?
Mansi (enthusiastically): Let's go!
Saiman: Adventure, here we come!
<◇>
The group is wandering through the bustling markets, sampling local delicacies and buying souvenirs.
Gautami (holding up a handmade shawl): Look at this beautiful shawl Abhyudaya! It is gorgeous.
Abhyudaya (nods): It is perfect for you Gautami.
Mythpat (stuffing his mouth with street food): This is heaven. I could live here forever.
Urmila (chuckles): Save some for us too Mithilesh!
Pranav (checking his camera): These photos are going to be epic.
Mansi (smiles): We are making memories of a lifetime.
Saiman: And we are just getting started.
<◇>
It was the fourth day of the trip and it was planned for a hike. The group gathers at the base of the trail for their hike. Abhyudaya looks slightly anxious but tries to hide it.
Gautami (with excitement): This is going to be so much fun! The view from the top is supposed to be breathtaking.
Abhyudaya (forces a smile): Yeah, cannot wait.
Mythpat (rubbing Abhyudaya's back): You alright buddy? You look a bit tense.
Abhyudaya (nods): Just a bit tired, but I am good.
Urmila (concerned): Do not worry Abhyudaya, we will take it slow.
Pranav: Let us get moving then!
Mansi (looks back): Ready, Saiman?
Saiman: Always!
<◇>
Halfway up the trail, Abhyudaya starts to struggle, his breathing becoming laboured. Gautami, caught up in the excitement, does not notice immediately.
Gautami (calls back to him): Look at the view Abhyudaya! Isn't it amazing?
Abhyudaya (breathlessly): It is....it is incredible.
Mythpat (notices Abhyudaya's condition): Hey, are you sure you are okay bro?
Abhyudaya (struggles to speak): Just....need a minute.
Urmila (concerned): Maybe we should take a break.
Pranav (walking back towards Abhyudaya): Let us sit down for a bit.
Mansi (with worry): Gautami, don't you think that Abhyudaya looks really pale.
Gautami (suddenly remembers): Oh no, Abhyudaya! I completely forgot about your breathing issues. Why didn't you say anything?
Abhyudaya (smiles weakly): I did not want to ruin the fun.
Saiman (hands him water): Your health is more important to us, man.
<◇>
The group finds a spot to rest while Gautami stays close to Abhyudaya, making sure he is comfortable.
Gautami (her voice gentle): I am so sorry Abhyudaya.
Abhyudaya (smiles): It is okay Gautami. No need of apologies. I wanted to be here with you all. Just need a bit of rest.
Mythpat (hands him an energy bar): Here, this might help.
Urmila (fans him with a map): We can take all the time we need.
Pranav (looks at the trail): We are not far from the top. We can turn back if you need to Abhyudaya.
Mansi (with support): There is no pressure Abhyudaya.
Saiman (pats his shoulder): We are in this together.
Gautami (holds his hand): Let us just rest for a bit longer everyone. We have trailed for long enough and I think we need some rest. I will stay by your side Abhi.
Abhyudaya: Thank you everyone. And especially you Gautami. Your presence makes everything better.
<◇>
After resting, the group continues at a slower pace. They finally reach the summit, the view stunning and rewarding.
Gautami (smiles): We made it!
Abhyudaya (looks around, catching his breath): It is....breathtaking. Literally and figuratively.
Mythpat (chuckles): Totally worth it.
Urmila (hugs Abhyudaya): You did great Abhyudaya. I am proud of you buddy.
Pranav (about to take a group photo): This moment is going to be legendary.
Mansi (smiles): We conquered the hike together.
Saiman (raises his arms in victory): Best trip ever!
Gautami (hugs Abhyudaya): I am so proud of you Abhi. And I promise, I will never forget again. You are the best.
Abhyudaya (smiles): With dear friends like you all, I know I will always be okay. And ofcourse, I cannot forget you Gautami.
