After a long day of school, I came home to my mom with a sad face. Mom asks me, "What's wrong? Smile my dear". I said, "Not in the mood mom".

"You are going to smile, when you hear what I am about to say", said my mom.

"What? Do you have some surprise for me?" I asked her angrily.

She said "Yes!! We are going to do your favorite thing. We are going on a trip".

The next moment, my heart was pumping fast and I was so scared even to smile.

My mom asked, "What is still wrong with you? Are you sick?" My mom started to check if i was running a temperature. Actually, I was fully down with fever inside.

After a long struggle of making my mom believe that I am actually okay, I came to my bedroom to change clothes.

I went to the mirror and saw myself, smiling and crying. I am going to see him, is the reason of both.

How am I going to react, will he get my thoughts?

We both think alike; he is going to understand my thoughts in my first look.

I prayed God, that I must not show it on my face. I slept on it.

The next day morning, I had to choose which dress I was going to wear. My only thought was I'm going to meet him, I should be cute.

I wore a beautiful netted yellow frock with so many roses on it. I know, I was the exact replica of my thought.

We started to finally meet the big group of my dad's friends. The same place where we used to come every year. But the place was never a bore. There was still so much to explore in it. We were going to a forest for trekking and stay.

Everyone was there. As soon as, we reached, one of my aunts came n hugged me and my sisters, saying, "Oh cute little angels...!"

My hand was grabbed and I had to follow the footsteps of my cousin, Ajay, who came to a halt after he found the right tree.

I started smiling... it's been a long time, since we met.

"Ok. Stop. Why are we running like this, we can talk there." said I.

He said," no I want to tell you a secret."

Secret!! Did he find it out on my face, I was thinking.

He said, "You are going to be mad about this. But you should know it."

There was a big splash of waves inside me, about what he is going to tell me.

When he opened his mouth to tell, came his friend, Prajid, who closed his mouth from behind, such that he couldn't speak.

Prajid, I was not yet ready to face him, he took a quick glance at me and looked at Ajay murmuring, "Shut your mouth! Let her see it."

I looked blank. i had no idea what they were speaking about. I looked unexpectedly at Prajid. He smiled at me. They both held my hands and took me somewhere to show me something. We started running again.

I was pretty sure, that they should have done something stupid and they are going to show that to me. I am really not in the mood to see all the stupid things that we did as kids.

He noticed me seeing him and him only with a weird face. He asked, "What is wrong with you?" Even before I answered, he said, "You are going to enjoy this." Then, he smiled at me. I was thinking, "Doesn't he want the answer? Why is he smiling?"

Finally we came to a halt, and they both shouted, "This is for us. Just us."

It was a Tree house. Kind of our dream house.

I was totally surprised. We were asking for it, for a long time.

We did not get permission to stay in the house all by ourselves, but still we shouted and went up and went around the tree house and we all shouted, "Yay...!""

Then, Prajid said, "We are still not allowed to stay by ourselves. But we can play in this and keep our stuff here. We will have to go to our parents' room for the night."

It's a little sad, but still, we had our own place to play.

It has always been us. We had never included our sisters and brothers or other cousins.

We all had the same wavelength of thoughts. So, we had so much adventure and fun, whenever we meet.

Ajay ran down, shouting that he was going to get his stuff.

"OMG!!" We were alone. He came to me and asked me, "What is wrong with you? Why are you with this sad smiley face?"

"I'm not" said I and turned my face away as if i was seeing something else. He cornered me and asked it again.

I was blushing with joy. I was actually enjoying it. But, I said, "nothing".

He came closer as if he was about to kiss me and I closed my eyes. Completely blushed and shy. I was afraid. 'Is he going to kiss me? Did he find it out?' were my only thoughts.

His forehead touched mine. He said, "Open your eyes and look at me. You know you can't hide it from me."

I smiled and opened my eyes, looked at him. He bent down and said, "I knew it." and smiled.

'I should run', was my only thought. I pushed him away and ran down.

He came down chasing me.

Our parents were standing a little farther and talking.

As we neared them, they smiled and waved at us saying, "There, they started playing. They are so happy with each other."

We were actually. We were in Love.

He knew it! He knew it the moment he saw me.
