12 years of departure.

It was summer and life was boring . Because of vacations i had nothing to do , and i didn’t had many friends so it always feels exhausted without doing anything . One day in evening i was looking as blue sky and listening to the birds , i thought to have a vacation.

One very next day i was ready to go.i was always found of Pakistan Northern areas.i was traveling alone ,so i had no one to talk and i was also a overthinker , i was thinking how this vacation gonna be. I stayed at Hunza valley. The weather was quite pleasant and beautiful. The sky looks even more blue and everything seems very clean and clear. This sunset was exceptionally beautiful , in each sunset it looks I was standing only 1 kilometre apart from the sun. The blue sky turn slightly orange then slightly red.

Humans are such a strange creatures they always go for the better life and better technology but whenever they think of beauty full areas , nature always rules. They don’t think about sky creepers, they don’t think about crowded places but they think about clean and peaceful places full of greenery sunsets and sky.

The weather was rainy. I was staying at local hotel. I was enjoying tea, tea is my favourite drink ok if I was CEO of the Google I would declare tea as a mother of the drinks. The rain started, I was staying at a hotel which was far from there I didn’t have a automobile so I run towards it I stayed in forest shelter under a small shade. I was enjoying the music of the rain,suddenly a girl came there under the shade the shelter for a while. Because of the dark I couldn’t see the face. After sometime the rain stopped for a while and we start advancing. After we moved to a bright place I saw her face in her silky and beautiful dark wet hairs.

The the first thought came into my mind it was it’s her definitely it was her.

I could never forget that face. That gorgeous eyes , her eyes was light brown but so bright and clear that i can see through retina. Clear as ice, white as snow. Her lips was dark and pinkish. Her height was only 1 and half inch below me.

We lived ten years to gather. She was my neighbor.we were very attracted to each other both mentally and physically. She was the best girl i could ever see. She went away because her family was migrating . She was 12 and i was 14. Before I could utter something she said “ its been a long time” . Her voice was like twittering birds. Unintentionally my hand touched the lower side of her back and moved upward . I can see her angel like body through her silk purple dress. I was afraid ,she could be angry because of pervertish act. She didn’t react but she smiled. To my surprise she was blushing. She asked me to stay at her house. I could smell aroma of rain and mud , so was she.

When we reached her home , she was alone and we both were wet. She didn’t have any clothes for me so she gave me a towel. After sometime she came in her night dress which was little transparent. We sat in fornt of each other only one feet apart. We start talking about each other suddenly light went out . But she got many candles and room became bright with dancing fire .Candle lights were beautiful .We talking about each other whole night and our past. In the morning i had to leave because of my exams. When I was going she grabbed me in between her arms and asked me to stay. Her cold body became warm. Her skin was softer than a baby with perfectly fine body figure. I can feel her whole body through mine .But all the motivational lecture, dad’s advices and future plans came through my mind. And i left on that day.

I still regret that day.
