Chapter 12：Because I Love You

After ten days we went to Deskter Farm, approx 500 acres land, one third of the land is used for cultivation, house and other things. And the 2/3rd of land is total covered by forest. Fresh oxygen, different types of plant species were the key point of the area.

It was a very long journey. The sun was shining very bright, it feels great when the fresh air touch my hairs letting them to dance with the flow, the greenery makes my eyes feel so relaxed, the only sound I could hear was chirping of birds, moos of cows, squealing noise of pigs, chuckling of hens, quakes of ducks, buzz of bees, chirp of cricket and grasshopper makes me think about spending vacation on hot summer in my village. It was a very pleasant day.

We make our tent and the students with motion sickness problem went to sleep. We asked teacher that where should we go for freshen up. He pointed his finger on place, we went there and found a beautiful and a very pleasant stream of water. It was crystal clear, it was so fresh, clean and clear that everyone rush there and began to taste the fresh water. It was so good in taste.

After fresh up, we went to look around the farm, and the farm owner escorted us to the jungle. He showed us many plant species, it was so great to learn new things. There was fences on the next side of jungle, he warn us not to go there coz it could be dangerous.

In the evening, teacher called us and said "Students, we have reached here nicely and this three days we will discover many new things and discover a different life, so for making your day special we will have a barbeque party."

Everyone jumped with excitement.

In the night, we had a party. I saw Salang sitting alone in a wooden bench so I sat near her.

I asked "Why are you here, alone?"

"I wanted to be alone!" She said.

"Okay then, I'll leave too." I said. (What a fool!)

"No no come sit here." She said "See those stars, for me they are not only an astronomical luminous bodies but they mean alot to me. When I feel sad, I see these stars, they are my hope, they makes me smile, as if they are my friends. Do you know? Wishes comes true when we see shooting stars, my grandma once told me."

"Look a shooting star!" I screamed.

"C'mon make a wish!" She closed her eyes and she began to pray. I don't know what she prayed but I looked at her and I prayed that keep this girl (whom I'm looking right know) happy and always make her smile whether I'm or not with her.

(Salang you really had a unique attachment for nature. I really like it. I want you to happy. You are so unique, I bet in this world no one is like you. This cute, how a person could be so cute!)

"We should go back Salang."

"But why?"

"I feels like everyone is starring at us."

"Oh yeah, but I really wanted to be here with you."

"Okay then let's meet here when everyone fall asleep."

"Okay, come let's go!" She said and she went to the girls group and I went to the boys group."

After the dinner, I felt so sleepy I thought that now I'll sleep and will get up when others fall asleep. After few hours, I felt bright light striking my eyes and when I opened my eyes I found out that it's already morning. I rushes to the tent where Salang was staying, I called her. She came out with a very angry face.

I said "I'm sorry, please forgive me."

She said "You are so bad. I waited for you so long, do you know what! For three hours I waited, in the cold night, only for you and you were sleeping. Wow!!! I'm very angry with you. I'll not forgive you." She walked away.

I felt so gloomy, but I couldn't do anything coz she doesn't want to meet or chat with me. So I decided to give her time. She didn't came for attendance and for the breakfast too. I was so worried that I asked her friend to look her in the camp. Her friend told me that she wasn't there in the tent. So I directly confirmed it to the teacher. Me, teachers, everyone present there, began to search for her.

I was so scared, I cursed myself (If she get a little harm, I'll not eat anything for a day). We search for her at the tents, stream, bathrooms, farms and I even went to the jungle. I was about to cross the fences that the owner stopped me. I didn't listen to him and I jumped over there and I began to search for her. I felt so scared coz the sound of forest makes me shivered. But I left my fear out myself and began to search. After three hours, I couldn't find her.

Few minutes later, science teacher came hurried and ordered me to come back.

"How could I leave her alone sir? I need to find her." I asked to him and I cried out loud. He explained that it could be very dangerous. But I intend to find her. He scolded me but I didn't listen to him. We heard a sound of my classmate saying "Sir, we found her. Salang is with us." I hurried to the camp and I saw her. Tears were falling for my eyes, I hug her in front of everyone and scolded her why she had done this to me.

She said "I'm fine. Please don't worry. And please move. Everyone is starring at us."

I said "I don't care."

Teacher came near us and said "Hmm... It's over, get back."

I moved.

He asked to Salang "Where were you?"

She said "I was sleeping in my tent."

Her friend said "But I searched you there, and I couldn't find you there."

She claimed "Seriously I was sleeping there, and I haven't gone anywhere. I was inside the big blanket. May be you were unable to judged me inside that blanket."

Everyone laughed, but I was standing still. She looked at me with sorry eyes.

Teacher said "Do you know Salang, few hours ago he had gone mad, he even went to the danger area to find you, I told him not to go there, but he said that how could he leave you alone, and he search for you for approximately three hours. You got such a good friend."

I was not in the mood to talk, eat or drink anything, I spent my day alone and in the evening, she came near me and asked for sorry.

"I'm really sorry. I didn't want you to worry." She cried.

I wiped her tears and said "It's okay it's not your fault. Actually I'm sorry that I couldn't able to get up and see stars with you. I thought you were so angry and you leave me alone. Please Salang don't ever leave me okay!."

"I won't leave you, never." She said "But why did you put your life in danger, if something had happened to you I couldn't be able to forgive myself."

"Nothing had happened and nothing could....." I said.

"If.... then! Why did you put life in danger?" She asked.

"Because I... I.... am your only F.F!" (Because I love you).

My mind to me "What F.F? Now it's the right time, tell her that you love her." I said "No, I'll propose her at the last day, remember?" My mind said "Again, such a fool. World's stupidest dumbest person!"

(I love you, Salang. I really love you so much.)
