Maya's memories went back to get earlier dark days when she was hara.s.sed by her brother .

"It's me, Maya!" Virat said softly .

Maya puffed up her cheeks and blew out her warm breath, "Pfft!"

She smacked his forehead, "Hey! I won! Movie tonight!" She snapped at him beaming proudly swinging her legs playfully while he was carrying her .

Virat giggled and said, "I lost to you right on the day I first saw you Maya . This is nothing . I don't mind losing to you every single just to see you happy!"

"Loser!" Maya giggled .

He brought her to the edge of the mountain and set her down . They sat beside each other along the elaborate mountain track just in time for the sun to show up .

But since it was still dark, they couldn't see anything clearly . Maya was slightly disappointed, "Did we come her for nothing Virat?" She asked .

"Nooo my darling! You won't be disappointed . I promise!" Virat said with his low, magnetic voice .

Just as he said that, the sky slowly started gaining its colour . The dark shades of the night began  changing into a lighter shade .

From where they were sitting, a panoramic view of the entire A city could be seen .

Maya held her breath . The most antic.i.p.ated moments of their trek were finally here…

Now, the colour change happening in the sky was too certain . They felt like the colours resembled the colours of the rainbow . From hues of blue to yellow to orange to crimson to red . The entire picture was as if it was taken straight out of a fairytale .

Maya almost forgot to breathe . She looked at the sky without batting her eyelids .

From high up on the mountains, they could see the clouds floating like cotton candies moving in shoals towards them . Maya thought that she was literally floating along with those clouds by her side .

The sun got to kiss it's first golden rays on Maya and it instantly blushed red . It brought warmth to Maya's pearly white skin making her smile, a pleasant smile . She winked at the sun playfully and turned towards Virat who was already looking at her .

Her cheeks burned and she began blus.h.i.+ng furiously . She bent her head down and fidgeted her fingers .

"Stay right there! Just one minute Maya!" Virat got up .

Maya blew out her cheeks and turned back to looking at the sunrise . She toyed with a lock of hair as she enjoyed the morning suns.h.i.+ne warming her from within .

What Maya didn't know was, Virat was least bothered about everything happening around . He was only looking at his Maya . Even the sky with a myriad of colors was nothing compared to the myriad of emotions on his Maya's face . All of it happened in a span of five to ten minutes .

While Maya was waiting for Virat to come, she casually glanced towards her right . She saw a bird walking freely . She silently got up and upon closer observation realised that it was a Peac.o.c.k!

The Peac.o.c.k spread it's wings gracefully and walked around proudly .

Maya was too excited to see it . In order to not disturb or scare the bird, she quietly stood and watched from afar .

Virat returned by then . "Maya, what are you doing there come here!"

Maya turned around to see Virat standing there with his hands folded behind his back . She said, "Shh! Come here!"

Virat saw the peac.o.c.k . "Didn't I tell you that if we're lucky we may even spot a bird? See! Here it is!" Virat whispered .

Maya looked at Virat joyously, "I'm so happy Virat! This is obviously the best morning ever!"

Virat didn't answer her but  suddenly knelt on his leg beside Maya . His hands which were wrapped behind him, actually had a bunch of red roses .

Maya looked at Virat with bewilderment .
