As planned, we were at the river by 5 p.m. Such a beautiful view it was. It was flowing from east to west. Big trees were on the both sides if the river. And on the trees some birds were chirping. Sometimes few words used to jump into the fresh flowing water and come out within a fraction of second. They were enjoying their evening bath. The sun was about to jump in too, behind the trees, into the water. It must be thinking that no one can see him taking a bath as the big banyan tree was a cover. But we were there just to see him only. Slowly and steadily, it climbed down in the water of the river and didn't came out. We could see the cool and calm river until the end of our site. We all played with the water for sometime and then we were asked to come back to our place.
" Such a nice place this is, isn't it?" Rajiv said. He was walking beside me. He was a very intelligent student and always came second in the class after me. I respected him a lot.
"Yeah." I kept my answer short as usual.
"Don't you feel like staying here and watch the river flow."
"Kind of. But sir will not allow us. We have to go back. May be we will be coming again tomorrow morning." I too wanted to stay for few more time.
"Who said you to ask for the permission. We can still go." he said and held my hand. And we escaped from the Que. As the teacher was walking by the right side of the Que, we escaped from the left. We reached the river in no time and hide against a tree. When everyone was out of site we got down into the river. For the first time I was enjoying it. Not any sound was there around. And Rahul was too not around so no question of getting scared. We were just two people lost in our own world. Shouting, laughing and making noise. Sometimes few birds joined us in our excitement.
Soon we were tired. Our clothes were all wet. So we sat on a rock like structure. In just fifteen minutes being together, Rajeev became a good friend. For the first time I Was enjoying the friendship too. He was kind of sweet. The rank factor too worked in binding us together. I Was rank 1 and he was rank 2.
"We should go back now before they starts searching for us." I said as the darkness started spreading it's wing.
" Relax yaar, you are kind of too reserve. Get out of your comfort zone. Life is too beautiful, enjoy it. Don't worry, we will reach on time." he said in a cool tone.
"But...."
"Still you are stuck in but. Relax as I said. We are good students, if we are enjoying a little, they will ignore it. Take it..." he said in the same tone and handed me a can of coal drink.
He had a point. We were not committing a crime. We were teens now and we had all the rights to enjoy our life. We must look out of studies sometimes. The world is full of studies fun, I thought and opened the can. I don't know what was there making me think like this. It was all for the first time. But believe me, I Was liking it. For the first time I Was feeling like a independent bird, just out of the cage.
I took the first sip from the can. It felt like too bitter. I took another sip, again the same taste. I asked Rajeev about it and he said it was a energy drink. He was drinking his can and I too slowly gulped it. Bitterness of the drink was no more there and really I felt much energetic. I felt like flying in the sky. I ran all over. I shouted. I laughed again. It was good. I asked for another can and Rajeev gave me. I finished it in no time. I asked for one more but Rajeev was not left with any more.
" Let's go now. " Rajeev said but I Was in no mood to go back. But, he held my hand and almost dragged. I gave in soon and started walking with him. But my legs were not in control. They were not working properly. It was Rajeev who was holding me otherwise I must have fallen down. Soon I Was feeling sleepy and my eyes started getting closed. I tried hard to keep it open but failed and soon whole my weight was on Rajeev. And I Was in the world of dreams. Dreams can be so fun, I learnt that day. It was fun until I Was dreaming.
