Let go-part 8

The day was perfect- bright sun and pleasant weather. They were standing in front of the theme park. Jasmine was clueless about what this whacko guy next to his was going to do with her. While Aman knew clearly what ‘fun’ held beneath that wall covering the park.

“ Why are we here?” she asked inquisitively. “ Obviously fun that you never had or known. Now let’s go.”, he replied excitedly. “Do I have any choice, hmmm?” , she said, rolling her eyes.  

They were the first ones to get inside. It was quite early. Many people hadn’t arrived and plus it was a weekday so most of them were busy with their weekday program. While few had managed to bunk school or college or office to have some fun.

“So what do we play… hmmm… you choose.”, he said. “ It was your idea. Since you know about fun better than me, you can do the honours. By the way I am not in mood.”, she said sarcastically. She was actually not in mood in having fun. She was worried about work and people who would be affected by this. 

 She hated lying to people and most importantly about the one she cared about. However she felt strange about the guilt feeling. She never wanted to do this. She was forced to.

“ What are you thinking so deeply? I mean you could choose any game you would want to play. Ok fine, I will do it.” , he said, heading towards the game stalls.

He started with first stall- Ring Over Blocks. He didn’t win anything . They headed towards the next stalls where he still didn’t win anything. However he did bring a small shy smile on Jasmin’s face. Next stop was big and scary rides. “ Hope you at least join me on this ride.”he joked. “ Why not? You think I am like those girls who get scared  and tremble to play these things. Well, I am not like that.” , she agreed.

“ Woah! Now that’s called having fun. Let’s see what you got, baby.”he said, while she carried disgust expression on her face. As they got into the roller coaster ride, they wished each other good lucks. The ride started, slow at the beginning and when they reached the top, it remained there sometime. Later it came down in high speed with people screaming with joy and fear. She held his hand in order to push those fear away. She was having fun of her life. This was only the beginning.
