*Rides and Sky Diving*

______________________________________________________________

I was feeling guilty and sad for yesterday because I haven't spend time with her. I was busy planning things for her. I asked one of my friend to take us ride on plane today because he was a pilot and have plane and helicopter.

We went at his work place after we finish our tour at park. I am taking her there so she can go on rides, which make me confused because she can go on rides anytime and with anyone but she didn't.

When we were young and we win passes for carnival, me and Waniya tried to take Misha with us but she refused to go with us. She says that's all kids things but I know she is lying and hiding something from us. Did she scare of rides? Or something happen before which make her look away from rides? I am going to ask her once we get back tonight.

Now, we are getting ready of our plan for today. I didn't tell her about anything it is a surprise for her. I like when she pleading me to know what I had planned for us. I dress in simple dark jeans and white T-shirt nothing extra because we weren't going in some party or other events.

I am downstairs waiting while she dressed. I call my friend last time and check everything is okay. Saeed my other best friend. We were best of friends before we move to from here.Whenever his pilot duties send him to New York he came to our house. Our families are also friends but I didn't tell him about my marriage. When he knew about it he beat me not seriously but playfully. He asked to bring and meet Misha to his family.

He is also married but at very young age.He was the only child of his parent like me and his mother last wish was that he get married. His mother had cancer and had only a year left when this all happen. We came to attend his marriage. He never complain on anything but I knew he was not ready for all these thing but now he is happy in his marriage life and have two little girls.

"Rayyan" I get a rough shake on my shoulders. I turned to see and there my wife standing with annoying look.

"Yeah?" I raised my eyebrow at her before looking her up and down. She wear simple blue long shirt with jeans.It was like ages I haven't seen her in jeans.

"I was calling you from 5 minutes but you weren't listening me. What are you dreaming of?" She asked still annoyed and little suspicious.

"I am not dreaming of anything. I was just thinking about something. Are you ready?" I asked standing up.She sighed and nodded. We sit in car and drove off. Silence was comfortable.She was looking out of her window and my eyes straight on road.

Paris weather is changing. When we arrived here it was raining. Winter is coming and raining all day. Weather news says tonight will be a heavy storm and that is the reason I am taking her today because I don't know after heavy rain if we are able to go out or not.

"We are here" I said once I park the car in parking. I already fulfill her 2 wishes and 2 are left. We step out of car and walk toward entrance. I stop and buy tickets of different rides.I looked at Misha but she was looking at rides nervously.

"Here are the tickets. Don't you like coming here?" I asked as I saw her nervousness changed into scared when I gave her tickets. She quickly shook her head and take a deep breath.

"It is not that. I am scared of rides. I never sit on ride before but I want my fear to go away."She said looking at me. I grab her hand and gently squeezed it.

"Don't worry I am here, you don't have to scare of anything. I will take care of you." I said looking straight in her eyes. She smiled a little and give me a nod. We walk through crowd and make our way to rides.

We stop on a ride when we heard screaming, yelling and laughing. There was a ride that goes up high and stop for few minutes before coming down with force. Misha decide to go on it.

"Are you sure you have to ride on that" I asked again. She turn and glared at me which say 'shut up'. I don't know if I should let her go or not. That seems dangerous for her.

"Are you coming or not?" She asked looking back at me. I nodded and walk toward her. I take her hand and sit on ride. A man who was controlling ride on and off give everyone a nod and start the ride.

"Are you okay?" I asked quietly as I saw her breathing heavily. She nodded and take one last breath. I take her hand and tightly hold it. We were high up in air. Suddenly she starts screaming when ride goes down with a force. She leaned into me and hide her face in my neck. I wrapped my free hand around her and pulled her close to me. I lookaround when I heard footsteps and noises. We were back on ground. She take her face out from my neck and stood up. We move on out rides and enjoy our day. She look calm while going on other rides. We spend 3 hours there enjoying and fun.We play some games and win gifts. She look tired when we decide to go.

"I am done for today" she said tiredly.

"No, we have to go another place."I say and drove at Saeed work place where he give class to new pilots.

"But can't we go tomorrow or another day" She whined like a kid who doesn't want to go school.

"No!" I said and smirk when she pout and crossed her arms. She maybe get angry but not for a long time. I know when she saw where are we going she forget everything. I turn on the radio and slowly music plays. I looked at her and her eyes slowly dropping, she was fighting with her sleep.

"Go to sleep. I will wake you up when we get there" I said to her. It was like she was waiting for me saying it, she quickly pushed her seat back and leaned on it before going to sleep.

I drive for another hours to drive out of city. He had his own place of 2000 yards where he give training of plane or helicopter to new pilots. He owns 10 planes and 5 helicopters. Every year he took his family of vacations and give them rides of those. I stop in front of big gates. It quickly open by two guards doing their duties. They give me a no d and told me to go in. I park my car in parking and turn to see Misha. She is still sleeping. I gently shake her and call her name.

"Misha wake up." She groaned and open her eyes and blink them for few times. She sat straight and rubbed her eyes.

"Where are we?" She asked looking around. We get out of car and walk in front where he was waiting for us.

"This is my friend work place. His name is Saeed and he is pilot. We are going to jump from helicopter like you want to do" I spoke and stop in front. Planes were set in a big line on left side and helicopters on right.

"This place is so huge" she says and her eyes were big. I chuckle and lead her where Saeed standing talking with someone on his phone.

"Yeah. He own this place. He is the best pilot and give training to new peoples in this profession." I said and stop right behind him.

"Saeed" I call his name and he turn to see us with big smile on his face. He put his phone back.

"Rayyan, where were you. I was waiting for you."He said with fake angry.

"Sorry. We were some other placing enjoying and didn't know about time and we get late" I said with a sigh.He smirk and looked at Misha raising his eyebrow.

"Okay. So ready for skydiving?" He asked. I nodded.

"Yeah. But let me introduce first my wife. Misha, he is Saeed my childhood best friend. Saeed she is Misha my wife." I introduce them. They greet each other and talk a little. I told her about Saeed family and some funny things we do when I live here.

"It is time to take you guys up high" He said pointing to sky. We nodded and follow him inside to his office. He give us life jackets and parachutes bags, when we jump we open it so we reach down safely.

"Are you ready?" I asked her as we walk toward plane. She looked at me and nodded quickly. Her eyes shining with excitement.

"Buckle yourselves. We are going to take off." He said and talk with someone about clearing everything."Ready?" He looked back at us. We nodded and soon we take off and were in the middle of the sky. Misha look out from little window and was looking happy to see everything so small. She pointed to Park were childrens were playing and couples were sitting on benches having fun. Saeed tell us get ready to jump. We take our positions on back of plane. Misha insist of jumping alone but I can't let her do that. I couldn't risk her life. I came here yesterday and take a small jump to make sure that it is safe for her.

"I count to 3 and then you guys have to jump when I say. Ready?" He looked back at us from side mirror. We nodded and hold our hands tightly.

"1, 2, 3. Jump" he shouted from front. We jump in air and look down as we started falling down.

Misha tighten her grip on my hand. I looked at her and she was staring back at me with shinning eyes. I nodded and we pulled the thread to open our parachutes. When our feets touch ground we stumble little before regaining our balance.

"That was fun" She says breathing heavily but smiling widely. I am also breathless just like her.

"Yeah." I says and walk back to Saeed who just landed safely. He step out of plane and smile when he saw us.

"Enjoy?" He asked us.

"Yeah. Can we please go again?"Misha asked happily. I want to go back because she was tired earlier but now looking at her I can tell she forget she wasn't tired anymore.

"Sure" he said and we walk back to plane as he went in his cabin to bring us new bags of parachutes. We put it on and go again to jump. We enjoy our day especially Misha. She said she had the best vacations of her life. She was happy because she do what she wants in her life. Her all wishes are complete.

"Are you happy?" She said me.

"Are you happy?" I asked back.She looked at me for few minutes before nodding. "If you are happy then I am happy."
