Heart wants what it wants.

2. The hike.

She rented a room in a hotel and sat down next to fireplace to get herself warmed up. She was thinking about the hippies she saw in the cafe today. They were surely some actors or some other kind of celebrity as every act of them was being filmed on cameras. She ordered food to the room and sat down infront of her iPad . She wanted to have a facetime with her mom. After a few rings her mom picked up. And she talked to her for half an hour about her trip, weather etc and was advised to take good care. She wanted to bring her mother with her. But she always refused politely just as she did this time. Trips make her very tired. Her mother was living in South Asia while Anna was living in Turkey. Turkey was a good opportunity for her career so she shifted to Turkey. Her parents didn't leave their homeland. She visited them once a year. And had facetime often. She had a week left to enjoy New Zealand. Next day's schedule was Newis swing and catapult. She always wanted to do that so she was excited. After dinner she went straight to bed. Her tour guide had to pick her up from the hotel early morning. Next morning, she woke up early. Packed her belongings and checked out. Her guide picked her up and they went straight to catapult. It was a long drive. She got tired. But her tiredness vanished when she entered her name on the permission form. There was a bridge to reach the spot of activity. She was a bit scared to look down as it was really high. When she got herself harnessed by the host her legs were trembling. He asked her if she's ready. She gave a thumbs up. 3..2..1.. She was in the air. Cutting it like a kite. First 3 seconds were scary then it was like a dream. She had never been so happy. She was pulled back. One could see happiness on her face that was gleaming. She gave a high five to her tour guide who was happy to see her face lightening up. It was time to go back. She had to stay in a camp. The good thing about the trip was that there were many tourists from different countries that were put together in a group. They did all the activities together which needed a guide otherwise they got their free time to spend how they like to spend it. It was a ten days trip. It was already fourth day. Everybody had to make their own dinner. So she made some instant noodles to fill her stomach. Next day they were supposed to visit Mount Cook which was New Zealand's tallest mountain. There was a hike to the base camp. She slept well as she was tired. They got up early. Had breakfast and she got ready. Put her hike shoes on. And they started hiking. The scenery was so perfect that she wanted to stay there for a lifetime. She smiled at her thoughts. She heard a familiar voices behind her. She turned around. It was the same group of boys, they only difference was they were not wet. They were dressed perfectly, holding self cameras. There was a whole crew of cameramen around them. "Not again." she thought. She started taking bigger steps as it would get crowded if they approach her and she might be left behind. But two of them started running and crossed her. Others joined them and hence the cameramen too. She slowed down her steps. She was left behind. The boys group was between her and her group. Luckily she found one of her group mates who stopped for taking pictures. She joined him and they both hiked the mountain in eachother's company. He was a pleasant gentleman from New York. His name was Jensen . He was an engineer and came here on vacation just like her. He talked alot but he talked good. She didn't feel getting tired and time passed smoothly. At last they found their group. The boys' group was there too. It was beautiful. There was snow all around. If heaven was somewhere it was there.
