By the time they finished all their work, it was already 4:30 in the afternoon. So, there was no way they could trek their way to Tosh as it would become dark quite soon.
Nishant started packing his bag and looked around for Aparna, but she was nowhere to be seen. He was about to call her when she walked in the room.
"Is it time to go?" she asked looking at his packed bag.
"What do you think?"
Smiling weakly, she started to pack her things and then suddenly remembered about the trek.
"Nishant, I don't think I'll be able to trek all the way to Tosh."
"I know. I have already arranged for Lakshman to pick us up. The road is somewhat broken so it might just take some time to reach but otherwise it's fine."
Aparna sighed with relief as she heard him. In her condition, trekking was completely out of question. She bent down to disconnect the laptop charger and winched as her back protested heavily. She was about to leave the room, when Nishant clutched her hand and asked in a concerned voice, "Is everything ok?"
She smiled and nodded, knowingly too well that it was their first night together.
Alone.
Aparna had meant to catch up on her sleep on the ride but the bumpy road just refused to let her be in one posture for long. It almost took them more than an hour to reach Tosh.
Although, it was 6 in the evening but still she could make out the darken silhouettes of the mountain ranges surrounding the village. Small shrubberies lined the narrow paths making the entrance of the place look like a heaven tucked away in the wild.
Vehicles weren't allowed inside the village as it was a mountainous path so they trod a little higher to go inside the village. Aparna was so mesmerised by the surrounding beauty that she forgot about her pain completely.
Nishant held her hand all the way as they climbed towards his guest house, smiling seeing the awestruck wonder on her face.
At first Aparna did not see it, but when she did, her eyes enlarged with amazement. A huge and colourful three-storied house stood in front of her with the backdrop of a huge mountain.
Nishant looked at her and smiled. Her gaping mouth was proof enough that she liked what she saw.
"Although there are no flies here but still something could get in that mouth of yours," he said laughing, putting a finger underneath her chin to close her mouth.
Aparna hugged herself looking at him go. The place was amazing. Mountains, chilly weather, fresh air and a hushed sound of a nearby waterfall somewhere: she couldn't have asked for more.
She slowly treaded along the stoned path towards the wooden gate and was welcomed by greenery everywhere. Nature was flourishing in its best form, she thought.
