YASH-

After shopping, we all dive in for river rafting. It was a 30 minute ride in the freezing river. We were all given suits. From the shore, we trek down to the river. As the rocks were wet from the river, it was a bit slippery while walking on them . We held each others hand , supporting one another , and we occupied the rafter.

We were arranged accordingly by the pilot or the instructor. Ayaan and Sasha were at the front, Diya in the middle while I and Isha at the back. We had to hold on to the rope for the entire ride. 

All of us cheered up , Whooping when the ride started. A gentle push was given and the rafter was completely in the river surrounded by the hills.

The sail was on and the freezing water was splashing on us. As the rafter took deep turns and the waves were sloshing onto us. Isha was holding onto the same rope as me. I feel her gripping onto my wrist even tighter when ever the ice cold water touches her. When I instantly felt her , I could feel something . Something which is indescribable.  I didn't want that to go.  The rest of the ride was quite exciting and adventurous. 

After that, we changed into new clothes. We were driving to one of the highest hills. A mountain of 6000 feet for paragliding. We reached the check point which is the base point. Another vehicle was waiting for us to take us to the top. It was a truck car so we were sitting at the back . The cold breeze and the mountains made my day. The feeling had no words to express. We were singing songs on the way. 

Soon we reached the top and I was Awestruck by the landscape infront of me.

The paragliding experience is one of the best memories and was daring. We reached the base camp and were enjoying the nature. We just sat around and shared our experiences. I looked for Isha but she was not there. I found her in the garden. I excuse myself and step towards Isha. 


ISHA-

I am huge fan of flowers. I left in between the discussion to take a look at the flower plants. The garden was quite huge filled with a lot of flower plants. I notice Ayaan at the other end and signal him . He walks towards as I look back at the Gulabi Buransh. It is the only type of flowers that grow in Himachal Pradesh. I pick it up and turn back to Ayaan.

I see him with a bouquet of flowers . Red roses in specific. A huge smile was spread across his face.  I smile at him nervously. I don't know what is happening.

"Isha... I wanted to tell u this from a long time."

No No No .. This is not what I think it is..

"I always had a huge crush on you" I shake my head slowly . But he still continues.I search for others , I spot Diya and Sasha standing in a corner watching all of this with excitement filled n their eyes.

They knew it!

 Before I signal them, A crowd starts to form around as he kneels down.

I go blank not knowing what to do. My body goes cold.

"....I want to be your life partner.."

OMG he is gonna say those words. I must stop him before he does. I try to call his name out but my voice goes down.

"Ayaan" I call his name out in a low tone and step back a bit. 

"....I love you Isha...." 

No no no....What has happened!!??

My mouth is open but no words are coming out. I cover my mouth with my hands before I speak. I calm myself and gather all the courage to answer him.

"Ayaan I ...." 

I was interrupted by voice. "Isha...?"

It is Yash.
