Destined to be yours

Chapter 53| Boating

After a 10 to 20 mins drive, they reached the lake. Pawne Lake, one of the famous tourist Places in Lonavala. After they paid for the boating activity, The family members headed to the port area. Different varieties of boats were present there. Some large and some small. Some paddle boats while others with engine.

Naira:"Wow papa Boatttttt"(She said pointing at the big one.)

Ansh:"Let's go naaaa"(He said pulling Neil's hand)

Neil:"Naira Ansh wait. There are people in front of us right. We have to wait for them to go first"(After few mins it was their turn to pick the boats.)

Rahul:"we can take the kids on the big one"

Man:"Sir that boat can hold between 5 to 7 people"

Rohan:"Sid, Ryan you want to go with Dadu dadi or do you want to go alone?"

Ryan:"We will go with dadi and dadu"(He said as he side hugged his dadi making her smile)

Preeti:"Sid I wanna try the peddling boat"(Sid Nodded)

Rohan:"We will take the 2 seater engine boat"

Sid:"What about you Neil Bhai?"

Neil:(Turning to Ahana)"What do you want to try?"

Ahana:"Let's take the engine boat. Paddling boat will be tiring "

Neil:"okay"

Man:"Sir if you don't mind can you take the paddling boat. We have one more costumer who wouldn't be able to paddle at such age. "(He said pointing at a old Couple waiting behind them.)

Ahana:"Yes yes. We have no problem. Give them the engine boat. "(Ahana said immediately and Neil agreed)

Man:"Thank you sir"

Rahul and Angali along with the kids went in the big boat. Rohan and Shruti took the engine boat while Sid and Preeti settled down in  the peddling boat. They started their boat and drove away from the port to make space for other boats to fill up. Neil and Ahana wore the life Jacket before they headed to the boat. Neil got on the boat with the help of the man on the port then he extended his hand towards Ahana who held it as Neil helped her on the boat. As they settled down their boat, Neil and Ahana started to paddle backwards to move the boat back.

The boat itself was small. Only had 2 seats for the couple and 1 steering handle to change directions and 2 paddling sets by the feet of the couple. Ahana and Neil slowly paddled as they moved the boat to the middle area of the Lake. The cool thing about this lake was that somewhere in the middle of the lake was a small temple which most people don't know about much. It was a believe that the temple is only located by few people and if one wishes something at that temple then the wish come true for sure. The only problem was that temple was really in the middle of the lake and this lake was really big.

Ahana:"Neil I read there was a temple that was located in the middle of the lake. Can we try and find it. "

Neil:"Temple? Here"

Ahana:"Yeah It's not as commonly know and apparently it's hidden nicely as well but we might find it if we look for it"

Neil:"If you want to then we can try"(He said with a smile as he held her hand and they continued to paddle.)

While paddling they met the boat of the kids and Rahul and Angali. The kids waved at their parents when they saw them. When they were again a little far from the other boats Ahana looked towards Neil to see him busy looking at the beauty of nature. Ahana quickly took her phone out and clicked few pictures of him. Hearing Movement he turned towards Ahana to see her clicking pics. He laughs as when she smiles at him and pointing her finger to his sunglasses which layed on his lap, indicating him to put them on. He obeyed as she took few more pictures of him.
