A Swiss Summer

Prologue

"Sign out!" I told myself as I clicked the mouse pointer on the screen of my lappy.

"Kiara! You better get off that laptop of yours before it goes in the trash!" I could hear these words flowing like lava from mom's mouth...

This was the third time she was screaming at me so that I could give up my lappy.

I had just completed my academic year and had also given a big entrance test which was supposed to get me an admission in a desired medical school. Yeah, I want to become a doctor. But, right now, I was off my academic stress and I could still hear mom screaming at me.

What the hell! Would this girl ever get some freedom to breathe in the fresh and salty air flowing right from the window which had a breath-taking view of the Arabian Sea?

I closed my eyes and walked near my French-style walk-in window, into the balcony and spread my arms wide.....Just when a cackling sound made me furious!

"Kiara baby! Why don't you come downstairs and we could discuss about the med schools you are going to apply for?" said my mom

I rushed downstairs with a gush of fury and screamed, "God-sake!! You guys! I've just given my exams and you are talking about admissions! Enough is enough Mom! I don't want to talk about anything related to future and Uni! Let me breathe!" 

 With that, I rushed to my room and slammed the door as hard as I could and crashed on my soft and bouncy queen-sized bed. I felt my eyes burn and I could feel tears daring to rush out of my eyes. But then, I just decided to close them, think about something which soothes me.

I imagined myself wearing a white summer dress which went well with my light caramel skin. It was a knee-length dress which flowed from my waist in frock-style. It had thin, delicate straps. My jet black straight hair, loosely rest on my shoulders and the longer strands reached up-to the backside of my waist. I wore strappy medium-heeled wedges to complete the look.

I was waiting on a deserted road surrounded by green mountains and green dunes of well-grown fresh green grass on both sides and beyond them were milky-white hills on a perfect summer afternoon.......but, I wasn't sure about the place. Where was this? Whom was I waiting for?

It was just a dream when I opened my big deep brown eyes to see a ceiling fan. I sat straight on my bed and leaned in to grab the latest version of Traveler magazine from the bed side table and went through its thick glossy pages filled with different places all over the world. My eyes brightened as soon as I landed on a chapter exploring Switzerland.

I wished deeply! I wish I could go there! I love that place for so many reasons....
