12. The Romantic Geirangerfjord
" 'And so the lion fell in love with the lamb', he murmured. I looked away hiding my eyes as I thrilled to the word.
'What a stupid lamb', I said.
'What a sick, masochistic lion'" ~ Stephenie Meyer, Twilight

"The land of fjords, Norway is called", Akane said. They nodded approvingly. Nowary is widely known for the remarkable beauty and the amount of fjords present in the country.
The group set of to view the splendour and beauty of the Geirangerfjord in the summore region of 'More Og Romsdal' county, Norway.
"I've heard it's beautiful", said Agnes.
"Indeed", nodded Jason.
Takumi grinned. "Agnes, Jason doesn't mean the fjord"
"Then what?"
"He means you are beautiful", Akane and Takumi laughed in unison. Jason punched him lightly on his shoulder.
"Both of you are crazy", Agnes retorted.
"Arigato Mozaimas", they said, laughing. Thank you.

The four of them had planned a cruise sight- seeing of the Geirangerfjord. But as soon as they reached there, they were awestruck by the beauty, of the place. Indeed such was the beauty of the fjord. It was surrounded by the steepest and the most preposterous mountains in the entire west coast. Foaming waterfalls plunged into the fjord from jagged peaks. Birds made their swift flight across the sky, trees muffled, moved and rose from the mountains making it look all so majestic and beautiful.
"This Is so wonderful", Agnes said, getting into the ship. They settled down on their seats in the ship, looking out of their windows and enjoying the splendid views.
Agnes pointed at the waterfalls, the trees, the mountains, everything. The ship moved across the fjord, riding with pride.
"Agnes..", Akane whispered.
"Yessum?"
"Look at that girl", she said, pointing towards the girl who was standing beside Jason and smiling. Agnes could not see Jason's face; but right now that was not her concern. She wanted to see the girl's face, because it was one face she wanted to hit on. She got up from her seat. A smile broke on Akane's face. She knew what was going to follow.
"Hey missy", Agnes said, blocking her view towards Jason.
"Yes?"
"Do you know who I am?"
"No, but I don't really understand--"
"Oh, you don't have to understand anything you know. ", Agnes held Jason's hand. "He's actually taken"
The girl sighed. "Look--"
"Agnes, wait---", Jason whispered. She rose her hand at him.
"You don't have manners--", the girl began.
"Oh, thanks"
"Agnes, listen", Takumi whispered in her ear from behind. "She's our guide for this trip. She was just explaining something to Jason"
Agnes' face looked flabbergasted. Oh Lord. Oh holy lake. Oh God help me!
"Oh my..", she looked at the guide. She made a face at her and went away. The people in the ship stared at Agnes for a while longer before resuming to see the views. Agnes shrugged and plopped down beside Jason's seat.
"I'm such an idiot."
Jason was laughing by this time. "What are you talking about? That was amazing!", he gave her a thumbs up.
She looked at him. "What?"
"Cherry! That was hilarious"
"Yeah yeah"
She laughed along with him. Then, she heard him whisper something that made her blush deep red.
"By the way, dear Cherry, I didn't know I was taken"

Agnes and Jason were now sitting together, watching waterfalls which foamed wonderfully from the crests. The ship stopped.
"What happened?", Agnes interrogated.
"We're going to see the Fossevanding waterfall", Jason said.
Her eyes lit up. "Yessum!"
They got down the cruise and walked behind the lady guide. She looked at the lady guide who made a face at her.
"She's going to hate me forever", Agnes said, shaking her head in disappointment. Jason, Akane and Takumi were giggling, trying their best to control their laughter.
"Yeah laugh", said Agnes, sarcasam dripping from her words.
The group walked the pavement and stood in front of the waterfall. It was huge waterfall, its water so white and foamy. It splashed its water to the pavement too.
"Why can't we go closer?", Agnes asked.
"Because then we will get totally wet", Akane replied.
"And its already so darn cold here", Takumi said, pulling his sweater closer to him. Agnes grinned.
"Oh no no no, Agnes", Jason warned, knowing her intentions by now. He understood Agnes and her every action.
"Yeah, Mr.Lecturer! Let's get wet!
~'~
Agnes spread her hands in the air and felt the water falling on her with great speed.
"Agnes! You'll catch a cold!", Jason, Takumi and Akane shouted.
"Oh this is amazing! You guys cannot miss this!", Agnes shouted back. Akane and Takumi looked at one another.
"What say?", he said.
"Let's go!", Akane grinned, running towards Agnes not forgetting to pull Jason along.
They spread their hands in the air and felt the water of the fall fall on them in the freezing cold water. Agnes laughed her lungs out. Jason stared at her in utter amusement. They were dripping wet and the guide was screaming at them.
" I told you it would be fun", Agnes shouted.
"I know right!", Akane and Takumi spread in unison. They pushed Agnes closer to Jason. She bumped and sat down on the pavement. Jason extended his hand to pull her up but she pulled him down to sit with him.
After a while, she whispered. "I'm so cold, Mr.Lecturer"
"Ohhhh, go into his arms, Agnes. Its really warm in there, I'm sure", Akane teased. Takumi laughed as he high fived his sister.
"I'm going to kill you both", Agnes said, embarrassed.
And hence that evening proved to be the most wonderful of all times. They laughed, they fell, they got up and fell down again. As the sun set they shivered due to the cold and walking close to one another they proceeded towards the ship with towels wrapped around them.
They were given hot cups and coffee and made to sit in front of the heaters. They still shivered.
"Cold...", Agnes whispered.
Akane and Takumi dozed off in their seats. She shifted closer to Jason in order to get warmth.
This time, Jason smiled. He embraced her, holding her close to his strong shoulders. Her head dug into his jacket. He patted her head as if patting a child.
"Jason.."
"Yes, Cherry?"
"Nothing", she said, smiling . She felt so safe and warm, so comfortable and extent. Because now, after nearly two and a half months of their tour, they were blossoming. They looked beautiful together. They had flaws and fights and laughter. But those flaws together made them a couple.
And admist all of this, there was something everyone was unaware of. Here, in a ship in Norway, their story had just begun.
