It was a day for 3 days and 2 nights camping. The venue was the countryside surrounded by forest and a waterfall inside the forest. Aiza was with a 5 membered group along with their 2 years elder senior Saad. He was blunt with his words and strict with his duty. He's a cold personality person though having an attractive body. Everyone admired him but was afraid of his strong aura.
Aiza casually and supportively interacted with her group in building a camp, cooking the group meal and other activities.
The purpose of the training was, 'How one can survive with limited things during emergency situations'.
Along with helping the village people with their handwork, they even had a survey of free testing, teaching and handing medication to those poor people.
At night they held a campfire, sang, talked and they enjoyed themselves with the village members.
After days of working, it was tomorrow, the end of their camping. The day was ending. Aiza was in a daze sitting in front of the house, in a daze watching the farmer and his son returning to their home after a long day.
His wife stood outside the house welcoming them. Though they returned late, the whole family seemed to be having a happy time.
"...?...Hey! What is she doing sitting over there?'', senior Saad asked one of the member.
''Do...don't know sir. She seemed unusual these days'', the girl responded.
''Actually sir...it's her father's death anniversary tomorrow. Each year she would give away something to the poor in her father's name and stay with her mother the whole day'', a girl from the group explained after hearing them talk.
Saad after letting the two off, he walked to Aiza,
''What are you doing here? It's dinner time, have your share and go to bed. We will be leaving around the afternoon''.
Aiza, still in her thoughts greeted her senior 'good night' and walked away.
She woke up before dawn. Seeing the others still sleeping, she got up from her bed and walked outside the house. It was still dark, and silence resided around the whole village.
It was cold and freezing. Aiza saw the sunrise with the gleaming eyes. It was the beautiful start of the day. After a while, that farmer seemed to be leaving the house. He walked towards his fields. But something seemed unusual, he kept rubbing his chest.
As Aiza was thinking, she heard a sudden sound. Everyone seemed to have woken up. She returned in.
''Aiza you seem to have woken earlier''. a girl noted.
''Hmm'', Aiza replied.
They began their routine. After returning from the morning workout, they began their breakfast preparation. With the last checkup routine, they finished their survey. Before leaving, the group decided to have some memories with the waterfall but with permission. Saad wasn't an interactive person.
He was all about his work and responsibility. No involvement in fun times or pastimes. During the campfire too, he was adjusting all the things and doing necessary paper works.
There were 3 girls and 3 boys in total. Everyone was a bit scared to ask about the waterfall bath.
''Hey why don't anyone of you go and ask senior about this?'', a girl spoke.
''Why should we go? You girls keep flattening over him, here's the chance to speak to him, go'', a boy remarked
''We are satisfied by looking. Why talk?''.
No one was ready to confront the senior. They stood thinking of the consequences. While doing so Saad noticed them all together.
''What are you doing here?'', he asked.
Noticing his dark eyes, they got startled.
Aiza sighed and looked at Saad's eyes.
''Senior, could we have your permission to visit the waterfall? Since we are returning home today, we would like to have a last memory of this beautiful place''. It wasn't that Aiza was brave. She was a whole nervous and speaking up had drained all her energy.
Saad gazed at her and saw everyone, after a long pause he agreed and walked away. Everyone was pleased. Aiza to fill her energy drank her bottle of water. Being grateful to her, they all thanked her and prepared for the visit.
