As I sat in the car, my mind wandered back to the mysterious girl.
Her piercing eyes and bright smile had left an indelible mark on my memory.
Just then, my driver slammed on the brakes, jolting me back to reality. "We're here, sir," he said, gesturing to the house in front of us.
As I opened the door to my house, I was greeted by the warm smiles of my parents. My Maa, (mother) was busy in the kitchen, while my father, Papa, was sitting in the living room, reading a newspaper. I exchanged warm greetings with them and took a seat next to Papa.
Maa soon called out that lunch was ready, and we all sat down together to enjoy a delicious meal.
The aroma of freshly cooked rice, vegetables, and curry filled the air, and my stomach growled in anticipation. We chatted about our day, and I shared stories about my friends and work.
After lunch, Papa and I sat down in the living room, and he asked me about my plans for the future.
I mentioned my interest in investing in a piece of land in Udaipur, and Papa's eyes lit up. He had always been fascinated by real estate and had invested in several properties over the years.
"Ah, Udaipur!" he exclaimed. "What a beautiful city! I've always wanted to visit the City Palace and Lake Pichola."
We spent the next hour discussing the pros and cons of investing in land, and Papa shared his valuable insights and experiences.
He told me about the importance of researching the market, understanding the legal formalities, and negotiating the best deal.
As we talked, Maa joined us, and we shifted our conversation to other topics. We discussed our family's history, our cultural heritage, and the importance of preserving our traditions.
The afternoon sun shone brightly through the windows, casting a warm glow over our living room. I felt grateful for this quality time with my parents, sharing stories, laughter, and love.
As the evening wore on, we continued to chat and enjoy each other's company. Maa brought out a tray of steaming hot tea and some delicious snacks, which we savored while discussing our plans for the future.
Papa mentioned his desire to retire soon and travel the world with Maa. I encouraged him to pursue his dreams and offered to help with the planning.
As the night drew to a close, we exchanged warm hugs and bid each other goodnight. I retired to my room, feeling grateful for the love and support of my family.
As I lay in bed, trying to drift off to sleep, the girl from the ghats started playing in front of my eyes. I sat up with a start, my mind racing. "Kya ho gaya hai tumhe? Tumhare liye rishta aya hai, aur tum kisi aur ke bare mein soch rahe ho?" (What's happened to you? You're thinking of someone else, even though a proposal has come for you?)
But what could I do? That girl was etched in my mind like a beautiful dream. Her sun-kissed skin, her flowing hair, her curves that seemed to dance in the breeze... I couldn't shake off the feeling that I had to find her again.
I tossed and turned in bed, my mind a jumble of emotions. Why was I thinking of someone I had only seen briefly? Why was my heart racing at the mere memory of her? I didn't even know her name!
I didn't able to sleep so i stepped out for a midnight stroll, seeking solace in the darkness.
The night unfolded like a velvet curtain, soft and luxurious, with a hint of mystery. The stars twinkled like diamonds scattered across the sky, their gentle sparkle casting a magical glow over the world. The moon, a silver crescent, hung low in the horizon, casting a gentle beam of light that seemed to dance across the landscape.
As the sun dipped below the horizon, the sky transformed into a kaleidoscope of colors, a breathtaking sunset that painted the clouds with hues of pink, orange, and purple. The air was filled with the sweet scent of blooming flowers, their fragrance wafting on the gentle breeze like a lullaby.
As night descended, the world came alive with a different kind of beauty. The stars grew brighter, their light casting shadows that seemed to move and twist on the ground. The sound of crickets and rustling leaves filled the air, a soothing melody that seemed to lull the world into a peaceful slumber.
But amidst this tranquility, there was a sense of excitement, a feeling that anything could happen on this enchanted night. The darkness seemed to hold secrets, whispers of which seemed to carry on the wind. It was as if the night itself was alive, pulsing with a magic that seemed to reverberate deep within the soul.
As the hours slipped by, the world seemed to slow down, the clock ticking away with a gentle rhythm that seemed to match the beating of the heart. The darkness grew deeper, the shadows cast by the moonlight growing longer and more mysterious.
And yet, despite the darkness, there was a sense of clarity, as if the night had washed away the worries and cares of the day, leaving only a sense of peace and tranquility. It was as if the world had been reborn, refreshed by the gentle touch of the night.
In this fabulous night, anything seemed possible. Dreams seemed within reach, and the stars seemed to twinkle with a promise of magic and wonder. It was a night to cherish, a night to remember, a night that would stay with you forever.
But my peaceful walk was disrupted by a disturbing sight: a group of men surrounding a girl.

As Sanvi walked home from her friend's house, the darkness of the night enveloped her like a shroud. She quickened her pace, her heart racing with every snap of a twig or rustle of leaves. Suddenly, a group of men emerged from the shadows, their catcalls and lewd comments making her skin crawl.
"Hey, beautiful, where are you off to in such a hurry?" one of them slurred, blocking her path.
Sanvi tried to push past them, but they closed in, their hands reaching out to grope her. She protested, trying to shake them off, but they were too strong.
Just as all hope seemed lost, a figure burst from the darkness, sending the men flying. Sanvi's rescuer turned to her, his face obscured by the shadows.
"Thik ho tum?" he asked gruffly, his voice low and soothing.
[ Are you okay]
Sanvi nodded, still shaken. "Ji-ii shukriya."
[Y-yes, thank you]
The stranger nodded and turned to leave, disappearing into the darkness as suddenly as he appeared.
Sanvi watched him go, her heart still racing. She hadn't seen his face clearly, but his heroic actions would stay etched in her memory forever.
As she continued her walk home, the darkness seemed less menacing, knowing there were still good people in the world. But the encounter left her with a sense of unease, wondering what other dangers lurked in the shadows.
The rest of the way home was a blur, her mind replaying the events. She couldn't shake off the feeling of being watched, the stranger's face hidden in the darkness.

As I opened the door to my home, Maa's concerned voice greeted me. "Kaha thi itni daar, kaise hogye?" (Where were you so late, what happened?) I hesitated, still shaken by the encounter. My eyes drifted to my finger, where the stranger's touch still lingered.
Maa's expression softened as she noticed my distress. "Vo Shruti ne late kara diya?" (Shruti made you late?) she say with her gentle tone.
I nodded, still trying to process my emotions. Maa's hands instinctively went to my shoulders, offering comfort.
"Thik ha, chal abb khana kha le, bohot raat ho gaye hai." (Okay, come, let's eat something, it's very late.) She led me to the dining table, where a warm meal awaited.
As we ate, my mind wandered back to the stranger. Maa noticed my distant gaze and asked, "Kya hua, beta?" (What happened, child?)
I say nothing.
Maa's turned to me , her eyes filled with concern. "Thik h, phir kamre mein ja kar so ja. Haan, kal jaldi uth kar tyar ho jana, ladke wale aa rahe hain." (Okay, go to your room and sleep now. And yes, get ready early tomorrow, the groom's family is coming.)
I nodded, still reeling from the events of the night. As I lay in bed, my mind raced with questions. Who was that stranger?
The darkness outside seemed to press in on me, but I felt a strange sense of comfort, knowing that the stranger was out there, watching over me. I drifted off to sleep, my heart still racing with the secrets of the night.
With a grateful heart, I thanked God for sending that special man who saved me from harm. Feeling safe and protected, I drifted off to sleep, my mind at peace, and my soul renewed. 'Thank you' I whispered, knowing that angels walk among us, watching over us.

As I got up, I tried to distract my mind from the lingering thoughts of the girl. I headed to the gym to clear my head with some exercise.
After an hour of pushing myself, I felt a bit better and decided to take a shower. As I got dressed, my mother called out to me, "Beta, taiyar ho jana, hum thode daar ma nikle ga!" (Son, get ready, we need to leave soon!) I nodded and headed to my room to check the important papers my father had given me.
After scanning them quickly, I decided on what to wear - a navy blue kurta. As I stepped down the stairs, I saw that everyone was already ready to go. We all piled into the car, and my father drove us to our destination - her house.
