Let go-part 10

Everything was suddenly changing for good. Jasmin had started to open up a bit. She was becoming mellower replacing the cold streak in her. Her face glowed when she was with him. She was enjoying every moment of her life. Her life seemed so colourful to her. Her heart now belonged to him. She loved everything she hated before-rain, flowers and most importantly Aman. The lost smile on her face was back. However she was scared to share her feelings to him due to fear of losing him.

It was beautiful night. Moon was shining bright. He was dropping her after a tiring day. It had become a routine to Aman which he did enjoy from the time he started doing it. As he wished her goodbye, he asked, “ Are you free tomorrow? I mean there is this nice place that I would like…” Before he could complete his sentence, Sarah interrupted in between, “ Yeah ,she’s free tomorrow.”

Jasmin blushed and ran towards her room. Aman brushed his hair shamefully and started his bike. “So what time will you pick her up tomorrow?”, Sarah asked. “ Hmm… around 10 o clock.”, he replied. “ Ok, I will tell her that.”, she smiled.

 Sarah made sure her niece looked her best. She had spent two hours in choosing the right dress and matching accessories. That meant, Jasmin had changed about dozen dresses until Sarah said those three words-This is perfect! 

The bell rang on the right moment. He stood outside, dressed in casual jeans and tousled hair. He was looking gorgeously handsome. Jasmin couldn’t keep her eyes off him. She badly wanted to hold him in her arms. But she controlled herself. “ Aman, you look good as always.”, Sarah said. “ Thanks, Sarah. But your niece is looking ravishingly pretty today.”, he said. Jasmin blushed , making her cheeks red. “So enjoy, guys.” Sarah said, sending them off.  

There was an eerie silence in the car as he drove past the town. It was sending butterflies to Jasmin’s tummy. They hadn’t spoken a word since they started their journey from home. Jasmin wanted to speak her heart out.  But the words didn’t seem right.

They left the city and came across beautiful scenery. Mountains covered with tropical forests and the sun rays shining past the thick forest like the raindrops. The place was filled with serenity and peace.  Jasmin was loving this place more than she would. This was indeed perfect for her. Peaceful place and love beside her… she wanted nothing else except time to standstill.
