The Radiance of the morning sun drifts through my windows. The sound and smell of the new day get a smile to my face. I try to obstruct the rays falling on my face by holding my palm toward it. But it's of no use. I get up and sit on my warm bed, hugging the blanket close to myself and smile at the thought that I m finally at my farmhouse. Yesterday we came to our farmhouse, and even if they were servants who were cleaning the whole house, the chaos was too much. My mom instructed me and Ruhi to decorate each other as she had imagined. It was a tiresome job. After working the whole day, my sleep eventually captured my mind and I drifted off in my dreams.

The warm air is so peaceful, that I want to sit in this room the whole day taking rest and doing stuff I like but that is not an option. We have guests arriving today, or maybe they have already arrived, I need to get ready and greet all of them. As my mom says, we are the host of this fortnight party. Uhhh...my luck, I reluctantly get up from my bed and move towards the open gallery. I open the window. I want to watch the beautiful landscape from my balcony. I stretch my arm, yawn.

These moments are so magical as I pause myself to look at the beauty in front of me. Beautiful trees are all lined on both sides of the tiny road which takes it to the nearby river. At this time of an hour, no one is seen, it's quite early and it's an isolated area. I wonder what would happen if someone would get lost here. I love nature which has created such beauty, smells, and textures. I love the smell of the beautiful flowers, I don't like plucking them. I equally love the wildflowers, they are so beautiful. In distance, I can listen to the chirping of the birds.

 I m so engrossed in viewing the nature that I don't realize someone's presence. I turn around and look at the right side of my next balcony, his face is hidden as sunlight falls on my face, blocking to get a clear picture of the person in front of me. But I see through blurs, it's a man, a very tall man and I can feel a strong sense that he is staring at me. I feel cautious and then I realize I m wearing spaghetti straps nightwear and it's too way sexy for me. I turn around and go to my room, feeling shy of sudden that someone has seen me in this state.

I get ready, I wear jeans, and a white casual top, tie my long hair in a messy bun and move towards my living area. I hear my mom calling me"Aashna beta come here" I know when my mom wants me to introduce me to someone she lovingly calls me many names.so it's understood that I need to be on my best behavior, keeping a smile on my face( which people tell me is the best feature)  I go to my mom, who is sitting with a few people.

"Yes mom, you called"

She smiles at me" Let me introduce to you Mr and Mrs.malhtora they are our close friends, and they will be staying with us for a few days"

I smile at them" Welcome Mr and Mrs.Malhotra"

Mrs.Malhotra looks at me from top and bottom, doesn't utter a word and asks my mother"Where is your younger daughter, we want to meet her too," Mrs.Malhotra says ignoring my presence. Now that's usual for me.

My sister happily comes humming and is greeted by Malhotra's and as usual, I m ignored. Story of my life. I quickly move away from them, I know no one will notice me gone. From morning I wanted to go to my beautiful garden, it's my escape route. I open the door, and the fresh warm air of the garden greets me. Our gardener has taken special care to maintain this, this garden is huge, anybody can get lost. Beautiful roses, lilies, orchids are grown, on the beautiful lawn which covers the whole surface. There is a huge fountain in the center of the garden, and the sitting arrangement is made. I move towards the sitting area and open the book which I intend to read. I start reading when I hear someone crying.

I turn around the fountain when I see a small girl crying on top of her longs. She must be around 5 years. I go to her, kneel in front of her and ask her"Hey girl".

She looks at me and I m gone. Such a pretty girl, with innocent eyes.

"Hey sweetheart, what's the matter, why are you crying" I question her.

She looks at me and starts crying loudly and then speaks" I have nobody to play with me"

"Okay sweetheart, how about we play but you need to stop crying. If you cry I cannot play with you" with that she quickly looks at me with her huge big gree blue eyes.

"Really will you play with me, but you are an elder person. An elder person don't play with kids"

"Who told you this.? I will play but first I need to tell me ur name and why are you here all alone?"

She straightens up" My name is Arya Malhotra and I wanted to play, so I came out all alone"

"Okay let's play catch me if you can, how about it?" her facelifts up.

For about an hour we play, I know I m a sight to way, my white top has turned muddy, my hair all scattered, god but I had so much fun but the I realize its late. People must be waiting for Arya. I call Arya" Come on Arya, let's go, everyone must be waiting inside for you"

She looks at me"Pick me up, aunty"

" Arya don't call me aunty, you can call me Aashna or ash for short okay"

"Okay, Aashna" I can see her difficulty in pronouncing my name.

I lift her and place her on my hip when I m roughly pulled by my arm and come face to face with the most handsome man I have come across my life.
