She looked so fragile that it felt so painful seeing her like this. I made her sit somehow in the car. Water was dripping from her hair towards her face touching her shivering lips. I increased the temperature of my car to make her feel comfortable. Thank God! I was returning from the trip at the correct time. First, I was sad as I have to check out earlier due to some workload but now I am happy at least I got a chance to meet her and help her out. I pushed her seat a little back so she can lie down properly. And opened my suitcase to find a towel and some clothes. I gave her towel to dry herself and my shirt and a bare pair of shorts. She stared at me with those beautiful eyes. I realize that how I made it both awkward and uncomfortable for her. She is not going to change in my presence. She returned me back my clothes while saying thank you with her trembling voice and kept towel with her which she wrapped around her and started rubbing her hands against each other. I gave her clothes back and asked her to change otherwise she will fall ill. Till then I will be waiting outside my car. She tried to stopped me as it was raining but I had my umbrella with me. I got that and get outside the car. I was again lost in the memories of past. I remember a beautiful amazing girl I met at a shoot. It was not the beauty she had on her face but the warmth and the kindness she was carrying. The first meeting when I got to spend some time with her. Oh! How badly I wanted her to spend her time with me. I realize knock on my car window and the door opened. Hey! Get inside. I get inside the car. She had changed and in my simple clothes she was looking so beautiful that I just wanted to hug her but I couldn't do that. She was looking much better now but she was tired. Hey! Thank you so much for helping me out. I am glad I found you. You don't know how much i was scared. No, I was glad that I met her. No worries. I hope you are feeling well. Ya, I am feeling amazing. She didn't changed a bit still that girl hiding everything with her smile. I started driving my car. It was already dark and still raining. Hey! If you don't mind can I get your phone I should inform my friends they will be worried. Sure! I gave her my phone it will be dead soon too. Only 10% battery is remaining. As she started dialing she gave me a look I don't remember the number. Fuck! No worries you can inform your family. It sounds good. She called her sister and informed her to inform her friends she is with his friend. They don't have to worry about her. Which friend? You don't know him. I am safe. She hanged up the phone and returned it to me. Do you want me to play some song? Yes, you can. Which one? I asked her. Any of your choice she told me. I played one of the old melodies which sound like ' I wish I could tell you how much I love you I wish I could have expressed what's in my heart. But I was too afraid to ask that may be I would lost you. So, I never asked but I still love you with all my heart.
Me: Hey! It's already dark. Where should I drop you?
She: Umm... I really don't know. I came here with my friends and now I can't even connect to them. I don't even have any idea about this place.
Me: Let's get to a hotel if we find one in a way as it's not safe to drive in dark as the rain is also not stopping and there are chances of landslide too.
She: Ok! As you say.
After driving for 7-8km we saw a hotel. We get out of car and I opened the gate for her. She get out of the car and we both started walking towards the hotel. She was somewhat slow from her usual self. May be because she was tired. I also slowed down with her. We reached the reception. I asked them for two rooms for a night.
Receptionist: Sorry sir! I am afraid we don't have two room available. Only one is remaining. Due to bed weather all rooms are occupied by tourists.
Me: Is there any other hotel nearby?
Receptionist: Sorry Sir! I am afraid there is no other hotel for atleast 49-50 km.
Me: I looked at Gauri. We should rake this one as we have no choice and I don't know how far any other hotel is.
Gauri: She nodded her head.
I asked receptionist to book that room. We took the key and headed towards the room. We reached the room. It was such the beautiful room. It has glass roof in which the rain was falling and looking so beautiful. The sound of rain was working like therapy. May be because she was with me. Every feeling was beautiful.
Gauri: Hey! Are you even listening are you fine? Hey... Hello....
Me: Sorry! I just zoned out for a moment.
Gauri: I want to take a warm water bath. Can you please order some hot coffee till then?
Me: Sure!
I sat on the sofa looking outside the window. Again lost in the memories of past. She went for taking the bath directly.
Our first meeting, I saw a girl with the director she was lost in her own world I think. She looked very ordinary yet very attractive. I can't get my eye from her.
