Lost Without You

Chapter 05: Ice-cream Date and spicy Biryani in Rain.

We reached Hunza around 7:45. Hunza is a beautiful mountainous valley located in Gilgit-Baltistan, a region on Pakistan. It is also called heaven in Earth.

Everybody was worried, but were happy to see us safe and sound and back. Mustafa Sir thanked him and his friends. He politely smiled, saying it was his duty to save us.

"Hmm, so it's his habit to say 'it's my duty' to everyone. I'm not alone" I thought.

Our trip was extended for one more day. Because one day was wasted because of our drama. That day, we were made to rest in our rooms. Their rooms were in the right corner from us. Night passed in a blink, and the next day arrived.

DAY 2

It was the first official start of our trip. We were made to settle in buses. They moved towards Fort's place. The way was beautiful and we didn't waste time rumbling out our phone, before quickly taking snaps, for memories.

We visited Baltit and Altit fort together. Both are museums. I was stunned after hearing that Baltit fort was laid first over 700 years ago.
And it was not only for Mir's but the royal family of Hunza too.

Their beauty, every single thing was so appealing and attractive. Antique strong bricks. The way they've managed everything. Different lights, paintings, gardens. Every small detail left me stunned at how at that time people cared about such small things, for their daily life comfort. How to make their fort cold. From which direction the sunlight comes. Everything.

People were wearing different traditional dresses: long colorful gowns with caps. And they were staring like we landed in space. The temperature was moderate. The sun was out giving us comfortable weather. And, it was helpful to wander easily.

We clicked a-lot of pictures and sent them to Haniya. She was overjoyed. Sajal and Hadiya were continuously saying the only thing that this's Mir parents room, isn't it their privacy blooper?

Like there were no fans. Whenever they wanted to do something, they had to think twice before making any noise. Then they started laughing at their own talks.

We talked aimlessly, just the way we wanted, enjoying the time.

The Lion was also exploring with his friends, and I'd must say he and the captains were about to cry. Our girls were literally hanging with them to take selfie. And the boys well there was a whole different story. They were asking them questions like: Do you know how to fire? I mean don't you feel it is heavy? Do you have time to brush? Or do you have a girlfriend? I have heard that they are pretty girls in your field, is that true?

"It looks like they are having a good time. " I giggled, making both of them notice. They laughed at his exasperated face. I secretly clicked a picture of him, grumpily.

Sir Mustafa had us small briefs on everything, Hadiya and Sajal took a turn.

I was taking a picture of something, when I felt presence behind me. I turned and Mahroz was standing. He startled me, and I gave him a polite smile.

I looked behind him, both of my friends were busy making videos on ticktock.

I rolled my eyes at them and looked back at him.
"Hey!" I broke the ice, turning around to walk and look around. Other than standing and just talking with him.

"Hey, how's it going?" he asked, moving along with me.

"Amazing. You tell me?" I asked, nonchalantly.

There was an old Sword, a little more special than others. Curved from the handle and small knife with a big holder. It got my attention, so I decided to save it in my gallery.
