Maya"s memories went back to get earlier dark days when she was hara.s.sed by her brother .
"It"s me, Maya!" Virat said softly .
Maya puffed up her cheeks and blew out her warm breath, "Pfft!"
She smacked his forehead, "Hey! I won! Movie tonight!" She snapped at him beaming proudly swinging her legs playfully while he was carrying her .
Virat giggled and said, "I lost to you right on the day I first saw you Maya . This is nothing . I don"t mind losing to you every single just to see you happy!"
"Loser!" Maya giggled .
He brought her to the edge of the mountain and set her down . They sat beside each other along the elaborate mountain track just in time for the sun to show up .
But since it was still dark, they couldn"t see anything clearly . Maya was slightly disappointed, "Did we come her for nothing Virat?" She asked .
"Nooo my darling! You won"t be disappointed . I promise!" Virat said with his low, magnetic voice .
Just as he said that, the sky slowly started gaining its colour . The dark shades of the night began changing into a lighter shade .
From where they were sitting, a panoramic view of the entire A city could be seen .
Maya held her breath . The most antic.i.p.ated moments of their trek were finally here…
Now, the colour change happening in the sky was too certain . They felt like the colours resembled the colours of the rainbow . From hues of blue to yellow to orange to crimson to red . The entire picture was as if it was taken straight out of a fairytale .
Maya almost forgot to breathe . She looked at the sky without batting her eyelids .
From high up on the mountains, they could see the clouds floating like cotton candies moving in shoals towards them . Maya thought that she was literally floating along with those clouds by her side .
The sun got to kiss it"s first golden rays on Maya and it instantly blushed red . It brought warmth to Maya"s pearly white skin making her smile, a pleasant smile . She winked at the sun playfully and turned towards Virat who was already looking at her .
Her cheeks burned and she began blushing furiously . She bent her head down and fidgeted her fingers .
"Stay right there! Just one minute Maya!" Virat got up .
Maya blew out her cheeks and turned back to looking at the sunrise . She toyed with a lock of hair as she enjoyed the morning sunshine warming her from within .
What Maya didn"t know was, Virat was least bothered about everything happening around . He was only looking at his Maya . Even the sky with a myriad of colors was nothing compared to the myriad of emotions on his Maya"s face . All of it happened in a span of five to ten minutes .
While Maya was waiting for Virat to come, she casually glanced towards her right . She saw a bird walking freely . She silently got up and upon closer observation realised that it was a Peac.o.c.k!
The Peac.o.c.k spread it"s wings gracefully and walked around proudly .
Maya was too excited to see it . In order to not disturb or scare the bird, she quietly stood and watched from afar .
Virat returned by then . "Maya, what are you doing there come here!"
Maya turned around to see Virat standing there with his hands folded behind his back . She said, "Shh! Come here!"
Virat saw the peac.o.c.k . "Didn"t I tell you that if we"re lucky we may even spot a bird? See! Here it is!" Virat whispered .
Maya looked at Virat joyously, "I"m so happy Virat! This is obviously the best morning ever!"
Virat didn"t answer her but suddenly knelt on his leg beside Maya . His hands which were wrapped behind him, actually had a bunch of red roses .
Maya looked at Virat with bewilderment .
