He used to say, "life is like a trampoline, irrespective of our high jumps the ultimate result is towards the ground. One day our body going to be buried in soil similarly."

She was surprised with the knocking sound on door.

Hi darling ! Are you alright?
Look! I will not pressurise you Ana. Still, I believe at least for the last time you should visit his house that might be helpful in restoring emotions.

After listening the advice from beloved friend Ana appreciated her concern by saying, " Jas, I am glad to have you by my side and your suggestions always works for me. However, in this scenario I think it's already late to go there.”

Ana, full name Anika Gabriela a nineteen years old stunning teenager with medium complexion, light brown eyes and dark wavy blonde hair. She used to be a talkative person with delightful vibes around until that night, there was notable change occurred in her personality afterwards. Six months before namely just before that night Jessica Cullen, her childhood best friend Jas used to have all updates on plans and desires by Ana.

After Ana refused the suggestion by Jessica, Jas quickly changed the topic by advising her to drink the coffee before that get cold.

Anika took a small sip from the coffee and said, "Aah... ! Relaxing".

Jessica again asked,
"Ana…! How about going for a camping in the woods?"
She supported her question with the statement by saying that they have not been to any places from a long time, and she was missing those old days when they used to travel far and spent time together. Suddenly, she turned stubborn with her decision and said Anika,” listen ! I am not accepting any excuses now, be ready for this weekend.”

As Anika had no excuses to give, so she asked about the place and people. Jessica was cynical in mentioning everything in detail. Therefore, she said the trip going to be full of surprises for Ana.

Anika was looking downhearted while saying she does not like gifts and surprises anymore.
Jessica assured Anika to trust ,she hold her hands and asked to pack her bags for the trip.

Then, Jessica left the room by saying see off to Ana. Anika went close to the window and stood there. She looked outside towards the trees in the garden and lost in her thoughts.

Flashback .......

It seems winter is footsteped early this year. Have a look on those splashing seasonal dewdrops over leaves? Those drops are like our breathing. Once started dropping downward direction soon will evaporate in cosmos.

Amazing! Anika said fallowed by the sentence that he is captivating her mind and thoughts with his words and knowledge.

He, the mysterious man said, "Huh! Everyone some special things within. Do not think much, someday you can attain everything. Now, could you please give me that water bottle from the table?

Anika turned back to hand in the bottle and saw a shadow standing behind her. She was scared and just about to scream, she could hear the voice of her mother saying, "Ana! It's me ". She turned on the light and asked Anika to get ready for the dinner at her favorite restaurant.

Although, she was not interested. She got ready to respect her parents efforts in making herself happy.
