Yash went to the reception and did as his brother said.
The manager wished Anju and blessed her and then called upon the waiter and told him something.The manager told that Mr. Kush had ordered a nice dish for their dinner.
They sat on the bench and waited for the meal. The dishes were soon brought to their table, it smelled nice!
After having their dinner the waiter took Yash and Anju to the open balcony.
It was almost thirty minutes past eleven at night. The waiter told them to wait there as there was a surprise for Anju. Something special that would be seen only after 12o' clock.
At night, the nature seems to be far more beautiful.From the dim woods, night's ghostly army , the grey shadows, creep out with noiseless tread to chase away the lingering rear-guard of the light, and pass with noiseless, unseen feet , above the waving grass , and through the sighing rushes; and night, upon her sombre throne, folds her black wings above the darkening world , and, her phantom palace, lit by the pale stars , reigns in stillness and the moon stoops down to kiss the earth with a sister's kiss , and throws her silver arms around it clingingly.
While they were enjoying the beauty of the night sky , the striking of the clock broke their unconsciousness.
It was twelve, the time for getting the surprise.
The waiter came and said , "Now , look there in the west, u will see something special! "
Anju turned towards the west and to her surprise, some lights ( not artificial of course) could be seen blinking. They were the fireflies .What a magnificent view it was.
Anju was amazed and so was Yash. There were thousands of thousands fireflies, flying across the night sky, some of them touching Anju and flying away again. It made the view picturesque...
The waiter said, " It's the speciality of this hotel. Every night this place is haunted by thousands of fireflies , from where the hotel has get it's name "Firefly".
