It was supposed to be a OS that turned so long๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿฅฒ
So enjoyโœŒ๏ธ

Spending peaceful nights on a beach where there is no one to disturb was one of the favourite leisure time of Aryan, once in 2 or 3 month he would always take sometime out of his busy schedule to spend quality time there. And today he had came here with his soon to be wife, Imlie.

Imlie was sitting on the sandy ground with her legs crossed. She was busy drawing and crafting on sand with the top of her fingers. While Aryan was walking barefoot, slowly in his oversized shirt and shots and enjoying the cold breeze.. he stopped when he saw Imlie smiling, all lost in her own world of sand art.

He was mesmerised seeing her..effortlessly beautiful, so simple yet so regal, he thought looking at Imlie who was wearing a plain boatneck white top with a simple black harem pant. Her hair were blowing with the flow of wind..so serene..he thought again.

He felt how lucky he was that day, that he met her..this thought of his took him back to their first meet..

Himachal, the land of gods (Dev Bhoomi), the land of absolute beauty..it's beauty lies in the glorious sky touching mountains..the lush green valley that covers it..and if the weather is good accompanied by cold breezes then it's cherry on top.

Imlie, a successful journalist with a craze of exploring different parts of India and writing about it. This year she had decided Himachal Pradesh to be the lead of her article. She wanted people to know about the in-depth culture and traditions of Himachal, and to help her with that one of her journalist friend had came forward and she provided Imlie with her house address, in Kullu.

She asked Imlie to go to her house as their she would be able to meet and greet people and her family will help her in that. Also there's a marriage in her neighbourhood, so she'll be able to experience traditional Himachali wedding.

Aryan, on the other hand was a workaholic, billionaire, business tycoon who didn't have much time for holiday trips but just because it was his best friend's wedding he had to take a weeks time out for a trip to Kullu.
His friend though worked in his company only, as a marketing head, wanted his wedding to be fully traditional one, Hence this Kullu wedding was planned.

Both of them had a perfect plan with themselves, one's target was to explore and get as much experience as she can while the other had a target of enjoying this rare opportunity to the fullest..both of them had a child within them but the only thing that stopped them from living and enjoying freely was their work, responsibilities or lack of time...BUT..this trip was something that was going to provide them with abundance of time for themselves as well as for others.

This trip was a blessing in disguise, which for the time being they were unaware off, this trip was a state of the art created by almighty himself in order to bring two lost souls together. The people who needed each other but were not aware of each other's presence. This trip was the first step of ladder that would kick start the journey of love..the journey of Aryan and Imlie becoming ARYLIE..

So, both of them kick started their journey early in the morning from Delhi, one from the posh area of Safdarjung while other from Vasant Vihar.

Delhi to Naggar, place in Kullu where they were going to attend wedding was a trip of about 13+hrs via car which could be very hectic for a single driver in a non stop driving, so train was the best medium for Imlie as she wanted her trip to be very simple, via train it would take around 10 hrs.
While Aryan had no such intentions plus he didn't wanted to get into the hustle bustle of railway for now as he had kept that for return journey..so he decided to rake a flight from Delhi Airport to Kullu which was about 1hr 20 min.

Both of them started their journey and obviously Aryan was the first one to reach. The whole surroundings came as a delightful surprise for him as the whole house was decorated with flowers with lights work was still in process. The weather, the fresh air and the fragrance of these different varieties of flowers that had filled the surroundings gave him a soothing effect.
He entered the slanted roof wooden house, it wasn't a very big one but was beautiful and comfortable from inside. He all busy in admiring the beauty of house when he was disturbed by his friend and groom to be Anand, "Hey! Finally you are here. How was your journey?" He said and gave a hug to Aryan.

Aryan hugged him back and replied, "It was amazing, specially the atmosphere over here is making it all even better." He completed with a smile.

"I'm glad you liked it." His from replied.

Aryan was then greeted by Anand's family who were delighted to meet him, he was very easy to distinguish from the bunch he was standing in, as Aryan was relatively tall as compared to others. It didn't took him much time to get into the surroundings and got mixed up with everyone around. He even helped others in preparations, and why shouldn't he? He was grooms friend it was his duty to be a part of wedding preparations..

On the other side Imlie was enjoying her train journey while clicking lots and lots of pictures. She was happy all by herself..though she wasn't someone who would roam here and there all alone, she always had a good bunch of people around her And So, this was her first solo trip, she didn't let herself feel bored even for a sec..So for that she gave herself a pat and said..Good Job Imlie..first solo train ride was not at all bad..

It was dark when she reached Kullu station, to her happy surprise her friend's family was already there to pick her up. When she came out of train The cold gush of wind blew her hair and she could breath in the fresh air, she did felt goosebumps due to sudden change of climate. She was stunned with the beauty of that place..how serene this place is..

When she reached the house she got excited just with the view of the house, wooden with sloped roof, hand made bell chimes were hanging down from the roof, moving with the flow of wind causing musical sounds..
Wow..was all she could say at the first look of it.

She got comfortable in the house, and had homemade food. "Beta get ready for Dham tomorrow. All the wedding functions are going to commence from tomorrow." Said her friends mother.

"What's Dham kaki?" Asked Imlie.

"Dham is a traditional feast done on auspicious occasions beta. So many dishes are prepared and are eaten traditionally." Kaki replied.

Imlie got extremely excited for next day listening to all the descriptions that Kaki gave. She slept peacefully in her quit as it became so cold at night that she had to take a quilt. Next morning she woke up early on her own, even before her phone alarm to ring.
She got ready and went outside to go and take some aesthetic clicks.

She along with her professional camera went out for a tour, she had already assured her friend's family that she'll come by the start of dham. She was just roaming in the near by area when she came across an end, it was the edge of that hill. She went towards it and started clicking pictures when she got distracted with a voice, "Careful." The voice said.

A very masculine voice it was, so deep that it sent chills in her body, Imlie turned around and saw a man much taller than her, he was wearing a Black Pathani kurta. Such a handsome face..I guess I have seen this guy..she thought to herself but then dusted her thoughts aside and asked, "yes?"

"I said Careful. Look you are just a foot away from damp edge. It looks like it's ok but in real it's not strong enough to hold weight of a human." He replied pointing out towards the edge that he was referring as damp.

"Ohh!" She exclaimed and moved a bit away from the edge and continued, "I didn't knew about it, there isn't even any warning sign..so..by the way thank you for telling me this thing. I'll be careful next time." She completed with a smile.

He passed a giggle and replied "no need to thank me, even I got to know about it today only, and about any sign, you know its a very common thing for villagers here, so no sign board is required for them..but for outsiders it can be dangerous, so better be careful."

Imlie replied with a smile and a nod.
The guy was about to leave when A thought suddenly striked her mind..Ohh yess I was right, I have seen him before..He's Aryan Singh Rathore..she thought to herself.

Aryan's footsteps stoped in a way and he chuckled without turning around and facing her, Imlie realised she had blurted it out loud. She slowly actually embarrassingly said again, "Shit!" And slapped her head.
