May calls David in the noon after signing the contract.
"Hey are you free today?" May askes
"Yep why?" David asked
"Let's go on a date" May replied
"Today? Why all of a sudden?" David asked
"If you can't come today,then it's fine" May replied
"No no no no i'll.. for sure" David replied
"Okay so meet me at the mountain we went together" said May
"Okay" David replies

*Cutting the call*
Rushing towards his home, planning his outfit David was all excited for his final date and nervous ofcourse.
On the other hand,, May was as calm as a tree..

Both met at the car parking
"Here,,see i bought your favourite snacks"said David
"Thankiew but i don't think it'll take much time there" said May
"ah ohkay...let'ss go then" said David
"Yep let's hike" said May

Both of them hiked towards the top. May was a bit tired but still she was hiking all her way on her own...
Seems like she was bothered by something which was making David worried about her.

David hesitatingly starting a topic
"Well how do i look today" David asked
"Like you usually do" May replied
"But i dressed differently today" David replied
"Ahh.......you look good" May replied

Now at this moment David was sure there's something she's hiding

Because she is the type...who doesn't share what she feels,no matter how hard it is for her to kept it inside the lockers of her heart

Both somehow reached at their spot,, not at the top but almost elevated

Everything was working out normal the moment they reached up..
They cracked jokes together,had their snacks, enjoyed the view!!
Everything was fine till May said David she wants to talk something about them

"Remember i told you we'll go on three dates after that i'll tell you how i feel" said May
David with almost a skipping of heartbeat "yes i do"
"Remember the first time we met till now,,you've always supported me ,,you always stayed by my side no matter what...even after knowing that i liked Ryan...You've always supported me David.. i i seriously owe you alot
That's why when you asked me out i couldn't say no because i was wondering it might be selfish...So i said Yes without understanding that i'm not being honest with you....If not now then in the future somehow it'll affect you and me....I'm really grateful to what you did for me till now..

But i'm really sorry I can't hold upto this with you anymore.....I don't like you....i don't have the same feelings like you do...." Said May

"I knew that... from the start
But still i choosed too date you, thinking that i can change your mind...

"You are my world and every moment of my life
You know what yellow tulips mean?
It means unrequited love,loving someone alone
The first time i saw you, your eyes caught me like the moonlight
Everytime I looked at you, my heart stopped
Just like the broken watch
That's how much 'I LIKE YOU'

But the universe planned us to be liked the sunset....not like the moon" said David

"I'm sorry...i hope you find someone who loves you the way you are and adores you the way you do.." said May
leaving him

It was probably the last touch of them...

Om May's way back to the parking it was almost twilight. So she got confused about the paths and got lost..
On the other hand David who reached the parking sees May's car...but left unbothered thinking that she might be coming.....
Not knowing that she got lost...

The next morning it was finally Mau's turn for the shoot.. but she could reach
The manger in charge contacted Ryan because he told him to take special care of her..."She didn't came" said the manager
Ryan knew that no matter what she'll never skip her work,, without consulting
It made him worried about her.
He then contracted David who even didn't knew where she was. He told everything to Ryan about the meet then after that where she went he didn't knew that..
David after cutting the call immediately arranged the search team...

The evaluated the whole hill...but couldn't find May

On the other hand Ryan also came to the hill in search of May..after searching unstoppably without any rest he still couldn't find May

He was getting more and more worried...Bad thoughts were coming to his mind...
Shouting and calling out her name was the only thing he was able to do at that time

Suddenly he came across a sinkhole which was quite deep...
He heard someone shouting for help in that hole
When he reached there he saw it was none other than May

"May!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Ryan shouted with a satisfaction and fear
"Ryan?? What are you doing here?" May asked
"That's not a question to ask!! Hkw did you get in there" Ryan asked
"I just losted my way back and then slipped here" May replied
"Where's your phone?????" Ryan asked
"When i slipped i lost it here" May replied
Her voice showed the amout of pain and fear she holded
Ryan immediately putting his arm to pull her up
"Here.... hold my hand" said Ryan
May tried to hold his hand,,but she couldn't
"I can't reach to you" May replied
"Jump and hold it,i'll pull you up" Ryan replied

After trying again and again May finally holded his hand...!!!
Ryan after that pulled her upwards

The moment she reached up..
She hugged him tightly in her arms almost out of breath
