33 I FOUND YOU

The flight landed at Bagdogra airport, from there all of them booked two cars to reach their destination Gangtok. Aisha was planning to pester Tara in some way, she was thinking something when someone bumped into her suddenly...she turned back abruptly with feircy eyes but she stopped immediately... before her was a man with angelic green eyes and a perfect handsome face. She was totally mesmerized by his beauty, she apologized to him in a sweet voice, the guy just nodded and apologized to her also, his voice was like a melody to her ears. She was going to say something more when someone from behind exclaimed loudly.

"Yo bro...you are finally here" Kian loudly exclaimed.

The guy with green eyes was none other than Ryan, Kian's cousin brother whom Kian have called specially from Paris to solve the case of Tara and this trip was a great opportunity for him to catch the culprit as their main suspect was with them only. Ryan was a famous photographer who was currently handling a big project in Paris but that occupation was just for the world to know, he actually was one of greatest hacker in the whole country and works for the country whenever needed...there is no goal he failed to achieve. He was very close to Kian from the childhood their relationship was very strong and both of them trusted each other beyond limits. Kian hugged him tightly and ruffled his hairs lightly, both of them then walked towards their group slowly.

Aisha who was watching all this from behind was now boiling with anger first of all the guys in the group were too close to Tara and now this guy too have some relationship with the guy who came with Tara...why was her luck so good, she clenched her fists tightly and suppressed her anger slowly then she too walked towards the group with a fake smile hanging on her face.

"Hey guys meet him he is Ryan my cousin brother... I told you yesterday that he will also join us in our trip" Kian said with a smile.

Everyone looked at Ryan with mesmerized eyes his eyes color was something different, then Jaggy exclaimed loudly.

"You are the Ryan... photographer Ryan right".

Everyone was shocked, Satarupa abruptly walked away from that area that eyes were giving her chills. Jaggy was correct he was the Ryan who won the best wildlife photographer of the year.

"Oh yeah beautiful! you have got quite a pretty eyes dear" Ryan smiled cheekily he then hugged her lightly. Everyone then greeted him but a certain person was not happy with his appearance that was the poor Abhi.

"Oh! Ryan meet her she is Tara" Kian said with a gentle smile on his face.

Tara who was busy in her phone turned towards his direction when she heard him calling her name, the moment she turned back Ryan was shocked momentarily.

"Hey T what are you doing here" Ryan exclaimed. (T is Tara's code name which she uses for buisness only but some people close to her call her T in daily life also).

Tara was slightly shocked to hear the familiar voice but recovered from it very fast as she remembered that her uncle was their family too so it's a normal coincidence.

"Surprise..." Tara said with a broad smile.

"You both know each other..." Kian asked in a confused voice.

"Of course...why won't I know T she visited us so many times and moreovershe is very close to uncle so whenever I came here we always used to hangout together" Ryan said.

Kian was a bit unhappy as most of his family members knew her excluding him, he just missed the chance to meet his Sunshine a little early but that was fine because at that time someone else was in her life, so he recovered from that sad feeling quickly.

At that very moment their cars arrived all the girls and Ryan got into one car leaving Aisha and all the boys for another car. After a journey oftwo hours they finally reached their hotel. Tara and her whole group got down from the car, all of them have worn sweaters by now because it was damn cold in Gangtok. Tara was literally shivering the temperature there was hardly two to three degree Celsius, she looked around her and everything was so beautiful the mountains the street the forest and the sky... everything was so lively around her. She was staring at the sky when a certain person hold her cold hands firmly and rubbed his hands with her hands, she knew that touch very well it was her savior her Kian. She looked towards him with a smile he reciprocated her smile with a dazzling one.

Aisha and Dhruva were given one room, Tara, Satarupa and Jaggy were in one room , Shreya who was reluctant to stay with Satish was forced to share the room with Satish only.Kian, Sumit,Abhi and Ryan were in one room. Shreya grumpily got inside her room she really wanted to stay with her girls but they tricked her to stay with Satish, Satish who was laughing hard at her childish behavior hugged her from behind and blow into her ears...it was her weak point she immediately melted into his embrace.

Tara and Jaggy were fighting on the bed with pillows....no reason just for fun and Satarupa was thinking something deeply. Abhi, Kian, Sumit and Ryan were busy talking and planning about the trip although Abhi doesn't liked Ryan firstly but during their car trip both of them developed a good relationship moreover Ryan also promised him to help to get Jaggy. On the other room Aisha was intimately hugging Dhruva and trying to get all the information about Kian and Ryan.

As the evening came the whole group decided to go on shopping at the MG market which was quite famous among the tourists. The temperature was still chilling but the sky was clear so no chances of snow fall was there , Tara wore a tight blank jeans with a sky blue sweater and a blue woollen cap she was looking adorable. Satarupa, Jaggy and Shreya too wore clothes that suited their body perfectly...on the other hand the boys were looking dapper Kian was wearing a dark blue color sweater with a round neck and a Sap green color pants whereas Ryan was wearing a light yellow color woollen jacket in which he was shining, Shatish, Sumit and Abhi were no exception.

All of them were waiting for the lovey dovey couple to arrive. Jaggy was getting irritated.

"Why can't they come on time....huh!"

"Jaggy just wait silently don't irritate others" Satarupa scolded her lightly.

"Okay ...okay ... I am the wrong one again" Jaggy pouted.

Tara hugged her hands " Who scolded my child..." and laughed little.

Everyone were laughing when Aisha and Dhruva entered the hall both of them were wearing couple dresses which was pink in color. Everyone was startled a bit but nobody spoke anything... except...

"So desperate to show off..." Jaggy muttered to herself but it was quite audible.

Aisha frowned a little and glared at her.

Tara immediately came forward and said"Guys what are we waiting for let's go now".

All of them then started walking towards the market everything around them was so beautiful the yellow street lights were shining like the stars and the streets were bustling with happiness. Tara and her girlfriends just shopped for nearly an hour and the boys obediently followed them. Satarupa was a bit off today she was secretly glancing towards Ryan something was tickling her heart a odd feeling was growing in her heart without any warning.

"This guy...his eyes...is he!" she thought to herself.

Ryan noticed her behavior and looked towards her and their eyes met a strange sense familiarity spread all over his body...he very well knew who she was...how can he forgot her, he was going to talk with her when she turned abruptly and walked away from him. She was sweating profusely in that cold weather, she can't believe her eyes she just wanted to run away from him somewhere far very far...he is the one...he is...

Tara noticed Satarupa's odd behaviour but before she could do something she saw Ryan running behind her, she wanted to check what was happening but Jaggy stopped her and pulled towards a shop.

Tara was bit tired so she sat on a bench near the street, that street was not so crowdy so she sat there quietly. She opened her bag and searched for the book she brought with her. She was reading it silently when someone sat beside her slowly. She looked up and saw Kian looking at her.

"What are you reading?" he asked in a low voice.

"Nothing just a love story... the scenery here is so beautiful...mountains ,sky and the stars that I can't stop myself from reading it here...you know my dad always says that when you are reading a book you should devote yourself to the character and should live her life for that moment" Tara smiled looking at the mountains, the small houses on the lap of the mountains were looking like someone had sprinkled sparkles on the mountains to decorate it.

Kian listened to her and looked at the sky he really wanted the time to stop right there.

"What is your favorite lines in this novel tell me..." he asked.

"Okay I will tell you my favorite lines ... I can really relate to those lines from my heart" Tara said with a Rare smile on her face.

"IT WAS YOU, IT WAS ME, IT WAS THE SILENCE UNDERNEATH THE STARS THAT UNDERSTOOD MY HEARTBEAT AND ITS RACING.

YOU TOLD ME NOTHING...I BELIEVED EVERYTHING.

IN THAT MOMENT

I FOUND LIFE.

IN THAT MOMENT I FOUND YOU..."

Kian was listening to each and every line carefully... before his eyes the scene from that night start playing how he met her that day, how he hugged her that day, how nobody of them spoke a single word and how he found his love.

On the other side Satarupa was running as fast as possible as if her life will stop if she stop running, Ryan was also running behind her and calling her name but she was just running without even looking back for once also. After running for god knows how much time Satarupa suddenly tripped on a stone and fall on the road. Ryan immediately ran towards her holded her by shoulder, Satarupa had no strength to look at him she was very scared of those mesmerizing green eyes. Ryan can never forget her she was his whole life, years ago he left her just to save her from his enemies but now when she is before him how can he deny his feelings towards her. He gently lift her up in princess style and made her sit on a road side bench the whole area was deserted as it was far from the market area , in the faint light of the roadside lamp Satarupa face was radiating a mysterious aura. Ryan hold her hand tightly and moved her chin towards him, her eyes were now red in color and tears started forming in corner of her eyes.

"Why...Why you did that Ryan?" she said in a sad voice and her tears started falling on her delicate face.
