" Mission tourism, TA-DA !" said Daisy with an excited expression.
" Yeah , yeah " I said smiling to her .We wore our sports shoes and track suit , grabbed Sora into my arms , locked the door and went out to go to the old town of Oakdale .
As we went out boarding a taxi , we exited the new town ."The air here is so pure , aaahhh , I want to breathe this for the rest of my life!" as I heard the drama queen Daisy I gave her an eye roll expression .
After we exited the new town we could see the Oak forest from a large distance and the Lake Octa glittering from the sun rays . At that time we were near Oakdale middle school surrounded by grass fields . I , Daisy and Sora we ran across the grass fields feeling alive and energetic , enjoying my life was so fun , I had almost forgot what happiness is and was stuck in my past but now I can feel myself happy and proud .As we grew tired we went to buy ice-cream . " 2 blueberry jam ice-cream " said Daisy to the shopkeeper and he returned with two packets of ice cream. As we were chatting and enjoying our ice cream we thought that we should buy cat food for Sora and then Daisy went again to buy cat food.
As I was sitting there alone I thought of yesterday when I came here , yesterday this same place looked scary to me but today this was just a field filled with my happiness.
As we had planned to go to the old town area , we headed forward towards the old town and to go there we had to cross Oak forest . As we were crossing the Oak forest we heard birds singing and trees dancing . The soft earthy scent and gentle rustle of silver leaves enveloped me , casting a serene spell. Dappled sunlight danced across our path, illuminating the forest's ancient magic. Towering trees, adorned with glittering emerald moss, stretched towards the sky, their whispers weaving a gentle melody. The air vibrated with an otherworldly energy, as if the forest itself was alive, watching my every step. I felt tiny yet connected, her heart beating in harmony with the Oak forest's timeless rhythm.
As we crossed the forest we saw the vintage old town of Oakdale , I remember that time it was called the new town but now since the other side has developed more so this side is called old town . We saw the beautiful old town from a height and believe me Daisy's jaw dropped to floor as she saw the beautiful place.
As we reached there we estimated the time it took us to come here so that accordingly we can leave before it was too dark .
"See , first we came out of the new town so it took us 30 min at least then we reached near Oakdale middle school and from there to the Oak forest it took us about 1hr after this crossing the forest took us 1hr 30 min and then we reached here ." As I said this Daisy started calculating the time "So...umm... it took about 3 hours from new town to old town"
"Let's go to my old house" I said running around the town like a kid , laughing and giggling , "Okay ... okay but please stop !" said poor Daisy in distress because of my childish behaviour." Oh! Hi Staisy , good to see you after so long , are you here for the reunion?" said Rebbeca .
" Oh ! Hello Rebbeca it's lovely to see you again, yes I am here for the reunion " I said .
" I am so happy that you came , it will be held in my house in the old town (here) tomorrow 4:00 pm onwards " said Rebbeca smiling like she always used to do .
" Yes I will come don't worry!" as I said this Rebbeca started looking at Daisy with curiosity." Oh ! sorry I forgot to introduce you , Daisy this is Rebbeca an old friend , the one who sent me the invite and Rebbeca this is Daisy my roommate and closest friend " as I was done introducing them Rebbeca gave us a smile and went her way .
" This girl looks a lot like the man who came at our house yesterday... what was his name ? ... umm... Yeah , Mr.Robert " as Daisy said this I gave her a nod and said " yeah , she does because she is her daughter " . Daisy gives me an O expression .
As the time passed while we were walking we could see my old house , we reached there and I opened the lock by breaking it because I don't remember where I had kept the keys . As we entered the house I felt nostalgia running through my blood vessels . The house was still in good condition, well I knew it after all it was my dad's last memory. As we started cleaning the area Daisy asked me " How the hell did you and your mom clean this whole house amd putting all the stuff in these big boxes? Plus at that time you were not mentally stable" . " LOL , did you really think that me and my mom did this ? Of course not , on the very first day of us after the summer break , the incident happened." Daisy said " Yeah I am so dumb " , "agreed" I said laughing at her .
" I think we should come here to live rather than living in the new town because after all the reunion party and everything will be here " said Daisy .
" Yeah , I think that too . Let me just call the furniture transportation worker and ask them to bring our stuff here and I will also call the cleaners to clean up this place till then maybe we can take a stroll with Sora " as Daisy heard my words she satrted smiling ears to ears and said " yesss!! Thank you my lovely rich friend "
I laugh dramatically at her words , she is such a drama queen , Of course she is .
