Destiny Of Love

The first day was marked by paragliding, an activity that filled Haseena, Meera and Santu with dread.

"Mujhe nahi jaana..aap jaao" Haseena said.

"are yaar hasi...chalo n, kuch nahi hoga" Karishma pleaded.

"haan re, tum teeno chalo n...maza aayega" Shivam said.  

"nahi, tum teeno jaao, hum log yaha baithte hain" Santu said.

"theek hai" chita replied. 

As Karishma took to the skies with their friends, Haseena stayed behind, her heart clenching each time the colorful paragliders swooped like birds across the clear blue canvas above.

"Bhai bhaiii...itna khatarnaak hai ye" Meera said.

"Wahi, mujhe to yahi darr laga rahega ki whatif ye rassi tut gayi ?" Santu said.

"Fir hum sab swarg(heaven) mein karenge paragliding" Haseena said making everyone laugh. 

After the morning's excitement, the group visited the sacred grounds of the Hadimba Devi Temple. The ancient whispers of the place seemed to weave effortlessly around the students.

"There's so much peace in here" Shivam said.

"Yes" Haseena replied.

"Students, we are now going to have lunch in the local restraunt. And we will try the famous food of manali, siddu"  The teacher said.

Siddu a "Himachali dish" is one of the most loved dishes in Himachal mostly in Mandi, Kullu, Manali, Rohru and Shimla. It is just a kind of bread made from wheat flour. To make siddu you need to do is make a mixture of wheat and yeast.

After having lunch they strolling through the vibrant streets laden with handicrafts – a sanctuary for Haseena's shopping desires. Dragged from shop to shop, Karishma's affectionate compliance was a testament to their bond.

"Krishu, dekhiye n kitna sundar hai" Haseena said taking a handcrafted jwellery. 

"Haan, bahut sundar hai" Karishma said adoring her. 

As the sun dipped behind the snowy peaks, casting a golden glow, the thrill of river rafting took them through the rush of icy waters.

"Abeeee....meri fatt rahi haiiu" Chita shouted as the raft was flowing with river.

"Mummmyyy, meri to shaadi bhi nahi hui" Shivam said.

"Shaadi to tab ho gi n jab hum sab zinda bachenge" Santu said. 

They only people wjo were enjoying were meera and haseena, as they have done it several times. 

Exhausted yet exhilarated, they retreated to their campsite, nestled among the whispering pines and overlooking the mountain scape.

"Maza aa gaya yaar aaj to" A boy said collecting woods for camp fire.

"Wahi yaar" his friend replied. 

The campfire's mystical dance under the starlit sky was a prelude to something darker. 

With 180 students dispersed in pairs across various tents, the evening unfurled a tapestry of laughter, songs, and intimate conversations.

Karishma stealed glances at haseena making her blush with her playful gestures. 

In the veil of night, as the others' mirth filled the air, Karishma and Haseena found solace in their tent. The world contracted to just the two of them, their gaze locking in silent conversation.

"Krishu, aaj kitna maza aaya n" Haseena said.

"Haan hasi, sach mein bahut acchi trip hai ye" Karishma replied.

Haseena sat beside her and the silence took over as their eyes looked into each other. Slowly coming closer to each other, their lips only an inch away and......
