HARI KUMAR MUKKAMALA
CHAPTER 1
It was 5 o’ clock in the morning , my brothers and
sisters awakened me from sleep . “Come on Harsha ,
get up, it's time to wake up . Get ready to go for
vacation to vizag”. I woke up from sleep . I brushed my
teeth and bathed . And finally , I dressed myself with a
new casual t-shirt and jeans .
“Harsha !! Harsha !!” My mom called me.
“Yes , Mom Coming”, I replied to my mom's call.
“Please come and have breakfast “, said my mom.
“Coming , mom “ , I replied .
I entered my dining room.My two brothers and my sister
were sitting in their chairs and eating breakfast . “Good
Morning , Harsha,” said one of my brothers named
Pranav . “Morning , Moring “ replied I.
“Have you slept well at night , are you excited for our
vacation ?” , asked my sister Priya . “Yeah , Of Course
well and excited too.” said I with excitement in my voice.
“Harsha , take care of your brothers and a sister . Have
a wonderful summer vacation at uncle’s house.” said my
mother When i was having my breakfast.
“Of Course , mom. I will take care of them” said I
confidently.
Pranav and Priya were my cousins. They are children of
fathers brother .My brother's name is Sushanth .
Susanth is kind of introvert .He won’t speak much in
unnecessary matters .
All of us finished having breakfast. “Sushanth ! Are train
tickets with you . Have you picked them from the desk
?” asked my brother.
“Yes , Bro. Tickets are with me” , said my brother.
“Ok , guys . get ready, all of you . Lets go to the railway
station “ i said to my brothers and a sister .
We picked a taxi to the railway station. We reached the
railway station by taxi.All the train's departure and
arrival announcements are announced through the
speaker. The railway station is full of people . We all are
looking for our train. Our train name is Janmabhoomi
express . Our train is on platform no 8 . We are on
platform no1 . We reached platform number 8 .
We entered the train and our berth numbers were 9, 10
, 12 , 13 in S3 coach. We are hearing announcements
that our train Janmabhoomi is ready to depart within 5
minutes at 7:00 am in the morning.
As the announcement said , the train started at 7:00 am
. we were set in our berths .
The Journey from Secunderabad to Visakhapatnam is
about 12 hrs . We reached Visakhapatnam at 8:00 pm
in the evening .
We reached my uncle’s house by taxi . My uncle's
house is at MVP colony .
“Welcome ! my dear children”, said my uncle with a joy
in his voice as we entered the house ,”How was the
journey ?”.
“Good , uncle” , I replied, smiling at him.
My uncle's name is Krishna . He had two kids - a son
and a daughter . His son's name is Akash and his
daughter's name is Sailaja.
Sailaja is parallel to my age . Oh ! I forgot to tell my age
. I am 18 . I am about to join engineering this year after
summer. Sailu is also of age 18.
We had dinner and slept at 9:00 pm in the night.
CHAPTER 2
The next morning , Akash , Sailu and our four siblings
discussed with each other.
We all sat in the dining room.
“Harsha , What is your eamcet rank? In which college
are you going to join ?” Sailu asked me with curiosity .
“My eamcet rank is 5000 . I want to join CSE, “ I said to
Sailu.
“Oh! That's cool “ said Sailu .
“What about you , Sailu ?” I asked Sailu .
“My eamcet rank is 12000 . I also wanted to join CSE “ ,
said Sailu .
“Oh! That’s amazing”, I said.
“Do you have a boyfriend ?” , my sister Priya asked
Sailu . She somewhat felt awkward about this question .
“No” , she said after thinking for a few seconds .
“Why did you take so much time answering my
question?”asked Priya to Sailu.
“Nothing like that”, said Sailu with a discomfort. I can
sense her feelings.
In the middle of discussion , my aunt came with a snack
item to serve us.my aunt name is Radha .
“Children , please have these snack items” , said radha
aunty .
We all had snacks brought by radha aunty . The snacks
are delicious to eat . I heard a sweet voice calling “Sailu!
Sailu!”.
Sailu went to the hall to see who it was . I can hear two
voices of Sailu and her friend.We four siblings went out
to see who came to visit Sailu . It was her friend . She
was very pretty and beautiful. Sailu introduced us to her
friend .
“Harsha , she is my friend Siya” , Sailu said to me and
introduced me to her.I shaked her hand as a sign of our
first meeting.
Next to me , my sister Priya introduced herself to Siya
,”Hello ! this is priya.I am from hyderabad”.
“Hello! Nice to meet you” , Siya said to Priya.
We all and Siya sat in the hall on the chairs . Siya
smiled at me and I also smiled at her . Her smile is very
cute like a baby girl which is full of joy and innocence.
Sailu started a conversation among us .”Do you know
Harsha , we both were best friends in our college ?”
said Sailu.
“Oh ! Is it ? That’s great”, I said to Sailu with a smile on
my face.
“Yeah , We both used to study and spend time together
,'' said Sailu , “I used to clear her doubts in math and
she is good in physics. She used to clear all my doubts
in physics.”
“Oh ! My favorite subject is math too” , I said to Sailu.
“Hey just stop it , talking about your academics”,said my
sister priya in the middle of our conversation. “Let’s talk
about something interesting”.
“Interesting means ? Do you have any ?”, said Sailu.
“Of Course ! let's talk about movies , college fun with
friends” , said my sister priya .
“Did you have any fun moments with your friends?”,
asked Priya to Sailu.
“Yeah , many “, said Sailu.
“Mention some of them , we will have some fun time”,
said Priya.
“Siya , do you remember we bunked our college with
our friends to enjoy the whole day”, Sailu asked Siya .
“Yeah remembered . We went to a morning show for the
majnu movie and after that we went to the beach .
Those days were really awesome”, said Siya.
“Harsha , do you know siya is a very active and
enthusiastic girl ?”, said Sailu to me.
“Oh ! that sounds good to hear about your friend”, I said
to Sailu.
“Yeah , I am a bit active . We used to study , play and
have some fun moments with our friends.” ,Siya said to
Harsha.
“Ok . Now tell me about yourself Mr.Harsha. How you
used to be during college days ?” Siya asked, looking at
me with a smile on her face.
“Hey ! Harsha , tell me about yourself Ms.siya is asking
about yourself . She may be curious to know”, Priya
said to me in the tone of encouraging me to talk to Siya.
I felt a bit awkward , speaking to Siya .
“About me , I too enjoyed my college days with friends
but my college is not co-education . It was a boys'
campus .I also had some fun moments with friends
going to the cinema , college bunks , restaurants , and
parties.” , I said to Siya.
“So, don’t you have any girl friends? I mean about
friendship ,not the other way”,Siya asked me.
“No, I just know my school girls .But not as much as
friends . And I am a bit nervous to speak to girls” , I said
to Siya.
“Oh! No worries . Talk to me , I will teach you how to
talk to girls”, Siya said to me.
All of them looked at me , with a smile of excitement on
their face . I can sense what they are thinking when a
girl is assuring a boy.I ignored all of them and their
opinions.
“Thanks , for your help”, I Said to Siya.
“Harsha , I think you got a coach to teach you, how to
talk to girls? Now you can be stress-free . Congrats on
that” ,Priya said to me in a funny way of teasing.
“That would be great , if so.” , I said to Priya.
CHAPTER 3
On Next Day Evening , Siya came to Sailu's house .
Siya invited us to her home . We all went to her home . I
felt a little awkward at her home . Siya sensed my
awkwardness in my face . She came to me and said
,”Harsha , just feel comfortable as if it is your house.” by
taking closer to her with her hands.My sister priya’s
eyes were glowing like lights , that i can sense she is
expecting something between us . Siya went into the
kitchen to bring us snacks to eat. In a meanwhile , my
sister Priya said , “Hey ! Harsha , you are becoming
somewhat special to her.” .
“Nothing like that , she is just trying to be friendly” , i
said to priya .
Siya came with the snacks and drinks . We all had them
. Siya booked tickets for the movie . We all went to the
movie .Movie name is Tholiprema - a pure love story
drama. The show time is at 7:00 pm at varun beach inox
. Now the time is 5 o’ clock . We started to RK beach at
5 o’ Clock from her house. That day the climate is a bit
cool in the evening with cool breeze and clouds in the
sky. The sky is full of white clouds and it's so cloudy.
Siya asked me , “So, what's the matter? How were you
excited for the movie ?”.
“Yeah, I was a bit excited . It's a love story . right ?.” said
I.
“So, You like love stories ?” Siya asked me .
“Yeah , I like them. But , I love to watch more thriller
movies “ , I said to Siya.
“Oh ! That's nice to hear . But I love to watch love story
movies a lot. Love is such a pure emotion.” said Siya to
me.
“And I mostly listen to love songs” , said Siya to me with
an excitement and joyous feeling in her voice .
By listening to the words of Siya , I came to know that
Siya is such a lovable person and kind hearted person .
I really liked her.
As We are talking the time passed , the time is 6:30 pm
in the evening . The sky became so dark as light passed
. There is very little light from the sky.
We Went to the theater an hour before , all the audience
were waiting for the movie outside the theater hall . The
floor is full of people .So , went to other floor
. Siya said to us , “Hey , guys let's take some photos.”
“Hey , Harsha . give some stylish pose , i will take a
photo of you” said siya .
I was feeling a bit uncomfortable as I was too
introverted to pose for photos in the public area . I was
not able to give expressions and a smile on my face.
“Hey , Siya , Harsha is a bit shy and stays away from
these kinds of things” , said Sailu to Siya.
“That’s Ok , Sailu . I am here to teach him” , said Siya to
Sailu.
“Siya , I am not a photoshoot guy. I did not have a habit
of taking too many photos.”, i Said to Siya.
“That’s ok Harsha . Everyone is unique . From now
onwards you can learn to take photos”, Siya said to me.
Siya saw some photoshoot stills for men on the internet
and she taught me how to do it. She taught like a very
good and supportive friend . i felt so good at that time , i
got a good friend who supported me . I hope this
friendship will continue as long as it can.
CHAPTER 4
The time is 6:50 pm and we are about to go to a movie .
We went to the theater floor . We all went into the
theater.The movie is about to start in 5 mins .
“Harsha , come here . Please sit beside me . Let's
watch the movie .” said Siya .
All of them were shocked for a while and started
watching both of us .And began to smile with glow in
their eyes.
“What happened , all of you guys suddenly looking at
us” , said Siya .
“Nothing”, said all of them .
“Harsha, please be seated . let's watch the film”, said
Siya .
The movie started exactly at 7pm . In the middle of a
movie , Siya started a conversation . “What’s your
opinion on this scene?” Siya asked me.
The Scene is when both the hero and heroine are
having romantic conversations in the car.
In My opinion , it’s good to have such conversations . if
we have one like that . “ I Said to Siya.
“But for me , it was really awesome and lovable to have
such a person in our life who makes our life more
romantic.” Said to Siya with a joyful expression on her
face.
In the middle , I can hear the words of my sister Priya
and sister-in-law Sailu , discussing us.
“Hey Sailu , I think Siya is having feelings for Harsha .
She is more involved with Harsha”, said priya to Sailu.
“I too thought that and I too felt like that”, said Sailu.
“This Harsha is a lucky guy , to get a Siya like person”
said Sailu to Priya.
“Yeah , I am also thinking about that”,said priya to Sailu
.
The feeling of watching a movie with Siya is different. I
can't express how I feel. But I really loved spending time
with siya. The moment I spend time with her , my heart
is filled with more happiness.
In the intermission of the movie , Siya went out to bring
us snacks . Sailu and Priya started looking at me with a
smile on their face. I looked at them with a smile on my
face.
“Hey , Sailu and Priya . How did you feel about the
movie ? Do you like it ?” I asked both Priya and Sailu.
“Yeah we liked it . But more than that we like yours and
siya chemistry between both of you. Woah ! What a
sweet friendship . She even forgot her friend Sailu after
meeting you.” Priya said to me.
“Don’t expect too much guys . She is just trying to be
more friendly with me.” I said to Sailu and Priya . “But I
like to be with her.She will make me happy for that very
moment.I really loved that to be with her.”
“I guess it is something beyond friendship , Harsha.
Once check it out yourself.” said Priya to me.”I guess
she is in love with you.”
“I don’t think so. But I like her, "I said to priya.
Siya came with snacks to us bringing samosas ,
sandwiches and cool drinks.
“Hey , guys please have them everyone.” said Siya to
all of us.
Everyone had snacks. The second half of the movie
started . We all watched the movie . The movie ended
with end titles.
“How was the movie , guys ? What’s your opinion about
it ?” Siya asked us.
“A romantic tale with a feel good theme and wonderful
composition of songs”, said Priya to Siya.
“Yeah I too felt like that. Harsha also enjoyed it a lot , I
think. What do you say , Harsha ?” Siya asked me.
“If he does not , you will make him happy for sure with
your talks and acts.” Priya said to Siya in a funny way .
Siya gave a look at them and smiled . “Ofcourse , I like
him . I will be with him whenever he needs some help .
Harsha is such a nice guy.”Siya said to Sailu and Priya.
“Harsha , Siya is always for you here . If you need any
support or help” said Siya to me.
Now the time is 10 pm . We have to go home. We
reached home by bus . Siya went to her house and we
all went to our house. We had dinner.
CHAPTER 5
After Dinner , We went to bed to sleep. My Sister Priya
started the conversation .
“Harsha , what’s your opinion on Siya ? “ asked Priya to
me.
“Why are you asking me that now ?” I said.
“Just to know your opinion about her.” Priya said.
“Yeah , I also want to know,” Sailu said.
“Siya is a really good girl and supportive . I really like to
spend time with her.She talks continuously . Her words
just flow like music from the flute. She is an amazing girl
. She made a confident boy,”I said.
“Is that only how you feel about her? “ Sailu asked me.
“Yeah . Still , what are you expecting ?” I asked Sailu.
“Won’t you have any feelings for Siya?” Priya asked.
“What Feelings , Sailu ?” I asked Sailu, looking at her
with a puzzled expression on my face.
“Love” , Sailu Said to me.
“No , I don't think she loves me”, I said.
“She is just an active girl with a friendly nature”, I said.
“Ok . Let's close the matter for here”, I said . We all slept
after this short little conversation .
The next evening , Siya came to sailu’s house to meet
us .She brought her family’s Araku trip album to show
us.
“Hey guys , here it is our family trip album. I want to
share these memories with you all”, said Siya.
Siya showed us an album . She was ten years old when
she went on a trip. She was so cute with cheeks and a
cute little smile.She is like a doll which smiles and does
magic with her eyes. She can literally attract anyone.
“Harsha , see this is me. When I was ten , we went on
an Araku trip with all our family.That trip was memorable
and that destination was really beautiful.” said Siya to
me.Sailu knows well about my family and me.
I have seen all the photos in the album . They visited all
the beautiful places like burra caves , anantha giri
waterfalls , katika waterfalls , chaapa raaya , araku
viewpoint . All those places were really beautiful.
I felt like going on a trip like this. As I felt in my heart ,
Siya said , “guys , let's have a trip to araku all of us.”
“Yeah , I am ready to come” , I said . As i said
immediately to her , Sailu and Priya gave a smile at me,
“What about you Priya and Sailu ? Won't you guys
come ? “ , Siya asked them.
“Yeah of course , we will come Siya” , both of them said.
“Ok then , we will start tomorrow morning . I will tell my
dad to book tickets”, said Siya.
“Hey Pranav and Susanth, you both can join us . we
will have fun” said Siya.
“Ok.Siya we will come” said Pranav.
“Hey Harsha, Be ready for the trip. We Will have an
amazing trip at this beautiful destination.” said Siya.
“Ok Siya , I am ready for it,” I Said.
Siya went to her house telling us about the trip.On the
same day , at 7 pm in the night siya came to sailu’s
house .
“Hey , here are the train tickets for araku trip tomorrow
morning and the return will be day after day . And the
return train tickets were also booked.” said siya.
“Oh ! That's really great , Siya” , said Sailu.,”We are
going to have fun for two days.”
“Yeah , it's gonna be fun and adventurous . I am really
excited about it.” , I said .
“Let’s meet tomorrow morning at the railway station ,
guys. All of you have a good sleep” Siya said to us.
We had dinner at night and slept.
CHAPTER 6
It was 5 am in the morning on the day of a trip. We all
woke up to get ready for the trip. We all were 7
members going on a trip with Siya.
We went to the railway station , the train was on the
platform and ready to start at 6:30 am . Siya came to
the railway station , she was at our reserved
compartment.She sent the details of the ticket . We
went to our compartment.
“Hey ! Siya we are here”, We all shouted with the voice
of excitement and a smile on our faces.
We all are really excited to start our journey. We entered
the train with our tickets . We sat in our seats . Siya and
I sat opposite to each other at the side window seats .
“Hey , Siya . The trip is really going to be really exciting
and fun , I think.” Said Sailu.
“Hey Pranav and Susanth , just talk. you both were so
silent and won't even talk properly” Said Siya.
“Yeah , we will talk siya” , Said Sushanth.
“Siya , Harsha is an introvert and so shy to talk to girls .
But he is so comfortable with you . You made him
confident to talk with girls . I really wonder about it” ,
Pranav said to Siya.
“Yeah , that I know, so I supported him and made him
confident .” Siya said.
“What’s your opinion about Harsha , Siya? “ Pranav
asked Siya.
The train started to move.
“Harsha is such a nice guy . I really like him , I love to
spend my time with him.” Siya said to Pranav and
Sushanth.
“Oh ! that’s really cool” , said Pranav ,”Harsha also
loves to spend time with you . He always gives
compliments to you . You are an amazing super girl
from his point of view.”
“Is that true , Harsha ? “ Siya asked Harsha.
“Yeah , Siya . I really like your companionship . The way
you support me and being friendly , I really loved it.”
said Harsha to Siya.
“Thanks boy for your lovable compliments.” said Siya
with a smile on her face.
“Siya . Let’s play a game for a while .” Said Sailu.
“What game ?” , asked Siya for Sailu.
“A scene will be given , we have to act like that,” said
Sailu.
“Interesting. I am in . I will play it” , said Siya.
“Who will be acting and what will be the scene?” asked
Harsha to Sailu.
“I will write our names on a piece of paper and I will
keep them in this box . Someone has to mix them and
have to pick randomly names, it can be one or many. It
is the choice of picker,” said Sailu.
“Wow ! That's really great to hear . An amazing concept
to play with fun,”said Siya.
Sailu wrote all our names on a piece of paper .And she
mixed all of them in a box.
“Hey Priya , Please pick any two names randomly.”,
said Sailu to Priya.
Priya picked two paper pieces , she was about to read
the names.
“ The names were Harsha and Siya.” , said Priya.
“Ooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhh , oooooohhhhhhh” , all of
them shouted with enthusiasm .
“Ok. Tell me the scene , we have to act.” , Siya said.
Priya , Sailu both are thinking which scene to say.
“Ok. Listen , The scene is there were two friends, a girl
and a boy who were best friends . After some years of
friendship , their friendship turned into love.Boy
proposes his love to a girl , and she expresses her
feelings for him.” Sailu explained the scene.
“Wow , really a beautiful and emotional scene to
perform,” said Siya to Sailu.
I was really excited to perform , but feeling a little bit
awkward and confused about what to say and how to
act.
Siya looked at me with a smile on her face. I also smiled
at her .
“Both of you , discuss . How to act and what dialogues
to say”, said Priya.
“Harsha and Siya , you both can do it.” said Pranav to
us with confidence in his voice.
“Yeah . We will give our best , Pranav,” said Siya to
Pranav.
Siya and I were discussing with each other , how to act
? What dialogues to say ? . We are looking into each
other's eyes.
CHAPTER 7
“The Scene is set at the park , a girl named Sam is
waiting at the park for her friend Krish,” said Siya.
“Ok.Now we are going to act.” , said Harsha.
Start of the drama.
Sam is waiting at the park on a bench , it was
valentine’s day. Krish came to the park.
“Hello , Sam, “ said Krish .
“Hello ! Krish, waiting for you .I am excited to see you.” ,
said Sam.
“Hey! Sam , do you know today is a special day ?” Krish
asked to sam.
“Yeah ! I know about it. It’s valentine's day ,” said Sam
with a smile on her face. That smile on her face made
her more beautiful like a shining moon.”
“Sam , close your eyes . I have a surprise for you.” Krish
said to Sam.
“What surprise , Krish ? “ , said Sam.
“Just close your eyes. You will just love it.” , Said Krish.
Sam closed her eyes . Krish presented his gift to Sam in
her hands.
“Sam , open your eyes," said Krish.
The gift presented by Krish is a greeting card with the
rose in the middle of the card. The greeting is filled with
beautiful love quotes and the words written by Krish.
Krish wrote his feelings what he felt in his heart for Sam
, on the greeting card.
“Sam , these are not just words . These are true feelings
about you of what I feel in my heart . Sam , you are the
most wonderful thing that has happened to me in my
life. The day we met as friends , I still remember how
beautiful those moments were. All those memories are
still being cherished in my heart. I want this relationship
of friends as love. I want to share my life with you.”,
Krish expressed his feelings to sam with a love in his
eyes , looking into the eyes of sam.
Sam opened the greeting card . She read the words
written by Krish.Her eyes filled with joy and a smile on
her face .
“Krish, the greeting card is so beautiful . I really loved it.
I too love all those moments between us , when we are
friends.Whenever , I remember them , my heart will be
filled with happiness. All those memories and days are
really beautiful.” Sam said to Krish.
“Will you accept me as your life partner?” Krish asked
Sam.
“Yeah . Friendship turned into love is so beautiful . You
are my sweetest friend as well as my sweetest partner.
Love you , my dear lovely friend” Sam accepted Krish’s
proposal.
End of the drama played by Harsha and Siya.
“Super Harsha and Siya . You both really lived in the
characters , you played.Fantastic and amazing play” ,
Said Sailu.
“Yeah. You both did a wonderful Job. Keep it up guys.
You both acted very naturally”, Priya said.
After that drama , my feelings for Siya turned into some
magical love . I looked into her eyes , those eyes are
literally killing me. Playing that character and looking
into her eyes while acting , at that moment I fell in love
with her eyes .
This was the moment I fell in love with Siya . My
friendship with her turned into love. I can’t forget this
moment in my life . It was memorable ,lovable and to be
remembered.
Can acting with a person really make us fall in love with
them ? Who knows ? But this moment turned my
friendship into a love. Not an attraction , not an
infatuation , a True love.
I want to express my love for her.I was heard
somewhere , it can take a moment to fall in love . This
was the moment , I think . As an actor playing a role , I
fell in love with her.As an actor , I expressed my feelings
for her . But in reality , I have to propose to her . I was
waiting for that moment.
“Hey Harsha , You performed so well and naturally . If
that was real , I may have fallen in love with you. The
words about love you said are simply so beautiful.They
touched the bottom of my heart.”Siya said to me by
shaking my hand. At last she gave me a warm hug.
“Thank you , Siya. With you , I can do anything.”,I said
by giving her shake hand.
We almost reached half the distance by train . We are
about to reach the burra caves station in an hour.
“Hey ! guys , we are about to reach the burra caves
station . So be ready. The train will be going through the
tunnels , while climbing through the valley.We have to
experience them. Tunnels and valley view.” Siya said to
us.
We all are excited to enjoy the view and experience of
the tunnels and the valley.
The climate is so cloudy , the sky is gray in color. The
time is 9:30 am in the morning. We are traveling through
the tunnels.The valley is full of greenery , the view is so
beautiful to watch.
CHAPTER 8
We reached burra caves station , it was before the
araku station. We are planning to visit burra caves , all
of them.
The area we walking to reach burra caves was
surrounded with valleys and full of greenery around us.
We reached the burra caves , the entrance of caves are
just marvelous rock structures with plants growing on
them.It was so cool at the entrance of burra caves , We
all took a group photo at the entrance of burra caves. I
was standing beside Siya.
We entered the burra caves to see them. Inside the
burra caves , it was so cool . Water was flowing on the
rocks of the caves. It was so amazing and marvelous to
watch these structures.
All of my brothers and Sisters were going before us,
Siya and I were together , watching the caves.
There was a place in the caves , a big hole in the top
where the light passes through the trees. In that light ,
Siya appeared more beautiful than before , this nature is
making her more and more beautiful.
“Hey ! Harsha , See how beautiful this place was, the
light from the sky into these caves is even more
beautiful than the normal rocks.” Siya said to me.
“Yeah. It was even making you more beautiful . That
light from the sky on your face is making you more
adorable, Siya”,I said to her.
“Oh. Really? Thanks for the compliment . You and your
words are always special to me.You are such a nice
guy,”, Siya to Harsha.
I smiled at her . That word from her made my heart fly
into the sky. That feeling of highness is really heart
warming.
“Hey ! Siya , We are still here . We have to visit so many
places in this burra caves. Come on , let's hurry up.”I
said to Siya.
“Yeah, all our mates went already, We both were here .
Come on , let’s go fast.” Siya said to me.
We both were going according to the map of the caves.
There was a place where we had to climb the steps with
the support of another person. On the top of it, it was
the temple of Lord Shiva.The temple was at such height
, down the steps it was full of rocks.
We were climbing the steps, I was a bit nervous and
scared to look down and to climb the stairs of the
temple. Siya sensed my nervousness.
“Hey ! Harsha . Why are you being so nervous?”Siya
asked me.
“You can hold my hand , and climb them” , Siya said to
me.
The Staircase is so narrow , both entrance and exit are
on the same staircase.When we were stepping on the
stairs , it was vibrating . So , I felt a bit nervous.
“Siya , won’t you feel nervous because of this
staircase.” I asked Siya.
“Why not ? That’s the reason , I want to hold your
hand.”, Siya said to me.
We both climbed the stairs and went to the temple of
Lord shiva . Lord Shiva is in the form of shiva linga. We
prayed for shiva and got down.
We watched all the places in burra caves and went out
of the burra caves . All of our mates were outside
waiting for us.
“Hey ! Harsha and Siya , We all were here waiting for
you.” , Said Sailu.
“Ok.Guys, next we will visit the view point of
araku.”,Said Siya.
We went to the viewpoint by the local taxi. The
Viewpoint was so beautiful , it was full of greenery with
trees and a valley with a deep depth.
The view point was full of couples taking photos , it was
such a beautiful place.
“Hey , guys . Let's take a photo together .” Siya said.
We all took a group selfie photo.
“Harsha , let’s take a selfie together , the view is so
beautiful.” , Siya said.
The selfie with Siya was captured so beautifully with a
valley in the background. I saved it to my drive.I
renamed that file as myLove .
It was 6:00 pm after visiting burra caves and Viewpoint.
We went to the room. We took two rooms . All the girls
were in one room and all the boys were in one room.
We ate the dinner and went to bed for sleep.
When i slept , all the moments with Siya were getting
reviewed in my mind. All those beautiful spent with her ,
I really can’t forget them.Reviewing all those moments ,
I slept on that night.
CHAPTER 9
The next morning , after we woke up . We visited
anantha giri waterfalls . The water was flowing with full
force at anantha giri. The place was so beautiful . We
spent some time at these waterfalls viewing and taking
photos of nature.
After this , We visited chaaparaayi waterfalls , the water
on the rocks . We can get into the water and have fun.
We all got into the water and we played for some time.
As the water was flowing , it was fun playing with it.The
most we enjoyed was at the waterfalls.
“Ok.Guys . It was 2:00pm in the afternoon . Let’s have
lunch and visit a tribal museum.” Siya said to us.
We had lunch in a hotel and visited araku tribal museum
. The museum is all about the tribal people , tribal
things and their culture and way of living.
We captured the photos of the tribal people's statues ,
their cultures and jewelry .
“Harhsa , let’s take some photos with these statues.”,
Siya said.
We took photos of the statues.
After that we went to the railway station. The train is
about to come to the station at 5:00 pm and it will depart
at 5:10pm from araku railway station.
We were waiting at the railway station for the train , the
train came at 5:00 pm in the evening , the climate was
so cool in the evening.
We got into the train and sat in our reserved seats. Siya
And I got reserved two rows apart from our guys. All of
them sat together , and I and Siya sat together.
The train departed at 5:10 pm in the evening . The view
from the train is really so beautiful with sunset light and
clouds in the sky. At some places , it was so cloudy
without sunlight . Those places were beautiful with
water bodies , valleys and trees. Nature is so beautiful .
“I enjoyed it a lot , Harsha .It was so memorable
traveling with you . I can’t forget this trip in my life.It was
so adventurous.” Said Siya with a glow on her face.
“What about you ?” Siya asked me.
“Yeah . I also enjoyed it a lot . Thanks for giving me
such a wonderful trip with beautiful memories.” , I said
to Siya.
“I was feeling a bit sad , this trip was over in two days . I
wish the time passes slowly and we can spend more
time together.See how beautiful this place is . I want to
stay here for a few days and enjoy nature and its
beauty.” Siya said.
“Yeah , It’s really beautiful with these trees and beautiful
water bodies.I really loved it.” I said to Siya.
“Harsha , you are such a nice guy . Anyone can really
like you , because of your simplicity and humbleness.”
Siya said to me with love in her voice.
“I really don’t care about the rest of the people. I only
care about you , because you are so close to my heart. I
really like you , Siya.” I said to Her.
“I respect you for that , Harsha . I really like you.” Siya
said to me.
“Ok. Harsha , I was so tired , I wanted to sleep.”Siya
said to me.
“Yeah , You can stretch your legs beside me and lean
backside and you will get fresh air from the window.” I
said.Siya Slept.
I was awakened , I was listening to a love songs playlist
. It was the album of titanic ,”My heart will go on” song .
Some of the lyrics in that song , I can feel them. From
that day on , we acted together. My heart was just going
on and I was seeing my dreams in a fantasy. I just want
to propose to her , that I love her so much.I was waiting
for that.
Before Proposing to her. I want to say my opinion on
Siya to Sailu and Priya , they may give some
suggestions.
I was watching Siya sleeping. She was so beautiful
while sleeping. She is like a cute doll with cheeks and
lips. She was so adorable.She was so fair and pretty.I
felt like watching her without blinking my eyes , that
beautiful i felt like.
Among of universes , We were in one of them,
Among of beautiful girls , i felt in love with his adorable
princess,
Among the emotions of humans , i felt the emotion of
love,
Among the multiple phrases , my heart says ,”I love
you” ,
The song which i was hearing made me so high and the
feeling of love is becoming so intense.
Hearing and Hearing of Love albums playlist , we
traveled more than half of the distance . We are about
to reach visakhapatnam in 1 hour.
We reached visakhapatnam after one hour. The train
arrived on platform no.8 .We all met on the outside the
train and we reached home by local taxi.
“Welcome Home , guys . "said Radha Aunty.
“All of you have dinner and sleep. The time was 8:30pm
. I think you guys were so tired.” , said Krishna uncle.
“Yeah , Dad .We are so tired . We want some rest.”,
Said Sailu to her father.
CHAPTER 10
The next morning after the trip , I discussed with Sailu
and Priya about Siya.
“Hey Sailu and Priya , I want to talk to both of you.” I
called both of them.
“What Harsha , what's the matter ? “ asked Sailu.
I was sitting on the balcony. Sailu and Priya came to
me.
“Yeah , tell me .What’s the matter ?” Priya asked me.
“It’s about Siya.” I said.
“What? What do you mean to say?” Sailu asked me with
a little bit of shock and doubt on her face.
“I love Siya.” I said to them.
Sailu and Priya were shocked and smiled at me.
“In the past , when I asked , you said it was just
friendship . when it turned to love ?” Priya asked me
with a curiosity in her voice.
“ When I acted in the scene with her . That was the
moment I fell in love with her. She is really amazing ,
she can make anyone fall in love with her. I was in deep
love with her.” I said to Priya.
“Today is Tuesday , Thursday is her birthday. Propose
her on that day ,”Sailu said to me.
“Will she accept , Sailu ? As a girl , what do you think
about her and her acceptance ?” I asked Sailu.
“She likes you so much .She said that many times. She
was so close with you all these days. She was closer
with you than with us.She may love. Just express your
feelings and propose to her , as a girl this is what i can
say. Any girl will be with a boy , whom she likes and
feels safe with, this was my opinion. In that case , she
really likes you so much and is so comfortable with you.
” Sailu said to me.
“How can I Propose her to express my feelings?” , I
asked Priya.
“It’s up to you . Just think with creativity.The gift you
present to her , should be something special and make
her special.” Priya said to me.
I searched for some creative gifts on the internet . I
browsed many paintings . I love to draw paintings . I
selected Lord Rama and Sita's painting to draw. I drew
the painting of ram and sita with water colors on the
paper.I framed the painting with a wooden frame . The
painting with the frame is so beautiful to present to Siya
on her birthday.
CHAPTER 11
It was Thursday , the birthday of Siya . Siya came to
Sailu’s house with sweets.
Siya was dressed so beautifully , she was so gorgeous .
She was like an angel descended from heaven. My
heart beat was rising , seeing her like that.Her eyes
were breathtaking , when she was looking at me. Those
eyes are so striking which can grab my attention. That
one look from her can literally make me mad.
“Hey , Sailu .Here I am . How am I ?” , Siya asked Sailu.
“You are so beautiful , Siya.” Sailu.
“Today is my birthday , take sweets.” Siya said to all of
us.
“Happy Birthday , Siya.” I wished Her.
“Thanks , Harsha”, Siya said.
Everyone was wishing Siya a Very Happy Birthday.Siya
was thanking all of them. Siya offered sweets to all of
us. The sweet was so delicious and tasty.
“Siya , I had a surprise for you on this birthday.” Harsha
said to Siya.
“How do you know about my birthday ?” Siya asked me.
“Sailu said to me . Today is your birthday.So, I felt like
giving you a surprise on this birthday . It was made by
me . Hope you like it” , I Said to Siya.
“I'm really excited about it , Harsha . You are such a
sweet person.”Said Siya.
“Can we go upstairs to the open area?. I was
comfortable presenting you with the gift.” I said.
“Yeah , Sure. Let’s go” , Siya said.
We went to the top floor open area.
“Siya close your eyes, I will be presenting you with the
gift.” Harsha said to Siya.
“Ok.I will close” , Siya said.
Siya closed her eyes . I presented the gift to her by
packing it with a gift cover.
“Open and see it , Siya.” I said to her, Siya opened the
gift cover and saw the gift . She was surprised by
seeing the painting of ram and sita.
“Wow . It was so beautiful , Harsha . Lord Ram and Sita
were so beautiful in this picture.I really liked it.”
“I painted this picture with water colors and framed it
with a wooden frame.This was my gift for you , on this
birthday.” I said.
“It’s wonderful . Harsha . Thank you so much. No one
had presented me with such a precious gift . It will
remain forever in my heart.Thanks a lot.” Siya thanked
me with a smile on her face.
“Siya , I want to say one thing.”I said to Siya.
“Yeah. Tell me , Harsha” Siya said.
“From the day we became friends , you were very
friendly with me and supported me whenever I felt
awkward. You are such an amazing girl with whom I can
be happier and you made me like that. I really love to
spend time with you , because of your friendly and
enthusiastic nature . It was joyful spending time with
you.The day we acted in that scene in the train on araku
trip , that was a really memorable thing in my life. At that
moment , I fell in love with you. Now , I am in love with
you , Siya. I really love you from the bottom of my
heart.I want to express my feelings on your birthday.” I
expressed all my feelings to Siya.
“I didn’t expect this from you Harsha. I really like you ,
you are a nice guy and gentlemen . I really love to
spend time with you. But I can't say 100 percent that I
was in love with them. Our feelings may change , this
may be an infatuation . Presently , I can't say confidently
that it was love . This may be due to chemical reactions
in our body while we were together. Who knows? Our
feelings may change in the future.” Siya replied with her
answer and expressed her own feelings and opinion.
“Does that mean , I mean nothing to you ? you won’t
have any kind of love for me ?” I asked Siya.
“I don’t mean like that , Harsha. I like and I really love
you , but I can’t say it was true love.You are the rest of
my life.Your feelings may change and my feelings may
also change as the time and we grow up.” Siya said to
me.
“Then in What context do you have love for me ? As a
well wisher , I will be with you whenever I need you ,
that is also a love.” Siya said.
My heart is broken into two parts , that pain being
rejected from your special person is unbearable . I
literally felt broken. Tears were rolling out of my eyes . I
can’t cry infront of her.
“I am so sorry , for making you sad and crying . I just
expressed my feelings. If I accept you today , later if any
of us change our feelings as we grow at that time , we
will have to suffer more than.I have done is good for us.
If we are destined , definitely I will accept you as my
partner and we will be one.Let the time play its role and
it answers all our questions.”Siya said to me.
I felt the words were so real and true . Our feelings may
change as she said .But now , I love her so much . But ,
the feeling of being rejected by her is so painful for me.I
can’t stop my tears.
“Harsha , Please Stop crying . I can’t see you suffering
like that.Please my friend , Stop crying.” Siya calmed
me down.
I controlled myself and stopped crying . But that pain in
my heart is still killing.It’s common to have feelings for
multiple persons due to hormonal changes in our body.
But my love for Siya is real and true , one day she will
know it. I love her till the last breath of my life.
“Anyways . Thank you for this wonderful painting. I will
keep this safe and see it as a masterpiece.It's really a
magnum opus” Siya said.
We got down to the room , all were waiting in the room .
Siya showed her gift to all . All of them appreciated me
for the gift I gave to siya. She really loved it.
Siya went to her home after this. Sailu and Priya came
to me and asked about my proposal . I said what Siya
said to me.
“Chill , Harsha . This is not the end of your story . Still ,
there is a chance . Don’t worry. Time heals everything.”
Sailu said.
“Yeah , Harsha . Be strong, if your love is real and true ,
if she is your destiny. She will definitely be yours.” Priya
also said the same to give some strength.
We are going to our home in Secunderabad tomorrow
morning at 6:00 am for Janmabhoomi express. We have
to pack our clothes and bags.
Before going home , I want to talk to Siya for one last
time . I went to her house. Her mother welcomed into
her house.
“Hey , Harsha . what is the reason for sudden entry to
my house ?” Siya asked me.
“Nothing just normal.I want to talk to you.I am going to
secunderabad tomorrow.At last , I want to meet you.”I
said to Siya.
“Oh! Are you going tomorrow ?” , Siya asked with a sad
tone in her voice. I can sense that feeling.
“Yeah. I am going . I want to talk to you.” I said.
“Ok.Wait .Let’s go for a walk and have some
conversation.”Siya said.
Siya and I went for evening walk at 6:30pm. We both
talked to each other for a while.
“I Will miss you Siya , I am going to miss all the fun with
you. I really need a person like you in my life. I will be
happier when I am with you.” I said to Siya.
“I also feel the same , Harsha. I will also miss you , the
companionship of such a nice guy.” Siya said.
“Siya . Can you give me your contact number? So , We
can be in contact” , I asked Siya for her contact number.
“Yeah . Sure . Please , note it down.” Siya said.
I saved her number in my mobile as Siya.
My eyes were so watery , the tears were about to come
out of my eyes.Siya sensed my inner feeling.
She called me,”Harsha”. She gave me a warm hug . I
can feel intense love in that hug . “ Be strong , Harsha .
Time heals everything.Please , Dont worry more , i can
understand your feelings. Everything is for our
good.”Siya said.
“Thank you . for understanding me.” said Siya.
“Siya is always for you.Always keep smiling maa” , said
Siya.
“Bye , Siya.” I said to Siya.
“Bye , I miss you.” I said to Siya.
“Is this our last meeting?” I asked Siya.
“Who Knows? Again Time and destiny together may
make us meet each other.Hoping for that.” Said Siya.
“If that happens , I would be the happiest person in the
world to have this lucky charm girl in my life.” I Said to
her.
“Ok.Bye .It’s time to go” , I said to her.I went to Sailu’s
house and packed my bags and ate dinner and slept.
CHAPTER 12
I was thinking , how Harsha would lead his life , if he
was obsessed with these feelings ? He was such an
emotional person . Poor fellow . I really like his
innocence . In my opinion , in this teenage love is like
an illusion , feelings constantly , it may happen in our
case too. I was worried about his life , what if later
feelings were not like today , one of them may have to
suffer. That will lead to many problems. This may
become a big obstacle for our career.
I came home.I was thinking , How will Harsha be after
going to his home ? He was very much attached to me.
I can sense his feelings .
“Siya , It was 7:30 pm.Come and have dinner.” My
mother called me.
I had my dinner and went to bed and memorized all the
moments I spent with Harsha. All those enjoyable
moments , movies are really blissful. I am also missing
him . I really like his presence. But I had a doubt , is this
really true love .If it was love , is there guarantee this
feeling of love will last forever? All these feelings may
be due to these teenage chemical reactions.
I like Harsha and I love him. Let time play its role in the
play of our love story .
Harsha may think I just played with his emotions . But
no, Who knows How the future will be ? If accepted his
proposal , he will be more attached than before.
Harsha, please forgive me for what I have done . All this
is good for you.I Hope everything will be good.
CHAPTER 13
The next morning , we went to the railway station for our
home . We went to Secunderabad by train.We reached
our home.
“How was your trip , Harsha ?” My mom asked me.
“Yeah . Nice mom , enjoyed it a lot.” I replied to her.
We started at 6:00 am in the morning , We reached
Secunderabad at 7:00pm in the evening. I was so tired
traveling all day.
“Mom , I'm hungry and so sleepy.” I asked my mom.
“Come and have your dinner and go to sleep.” my mom
said.
After having my dinner , I went to bed and slept .I slept
all night , as i was so tired.
I was calling Siya , dialing her number. The number was
not reachable. I tried multiple times , the result was the
same , it was not reachable.
So , I called Sailu and told Siya that her number is
getting not-reachable . Sailu said ,”Siya lost her mobile
yesterday morning while she was walking.So, she
blocked that number. She is planning to take a new
number and mobile.It may take a few days to contact
her.
I waited a few days without contacting her , days turned
into months . I waited for two months , there was no
response from her. One day Sailu called and said
,”Harsha , Siya and her family went to bangalore for her
studies.She is doing her higher studies in bangalore.”
“Ok.Sailu thanks for the information.” I said to Sailu.
After listening to the words of Sailu , My heart beat rose
and my body became cool with sweat . I was so
depressed after listening to that news . I went to the
open area of my house and I cried a lot until my eyes
turned red. I cried and cried , the tears are evaporated
to come out of my eyes.
My college is about to start in Two weeks. I joined the
college. I joined the CSE branch . My first day of college
is full of entertainment with everyone. I can see couples
in the college . All those things reminded me of Siya .
With all the struggles at last , I finished my btech
degree. I passed in first class with 7 CGPA. I discovered
a new hobby in my btech . It was photography . I found
it in my second year during the technical fests of the
college.
I started capturing photos of nature , slowly I developed
my interest in photography . It has become my hobby.
CHAPTER 14
After five years of meeting Siya , we went to Kailasagiri
in Visakhapatnam. I met Siya in 2018. Again we went to
Vizag after five years in 2023.I went to Kailasagiri with
my brothers and Priya. It was the highest place of
visakhapatnam where you can see the whole city and
the beach , the mountains surrounding the city .
It was perfect place for photography , we captured
photos of the plants , the rope way and the statue of
Lord shiva and Maa parvathi.
We all had a photoshoot. Before visiting , We all visited
the zoo park and captured all the animals' photos . I
saved these images on my card.After Visiting Zoo park ,
we came to Mount Kailasagiri Park for a photoshoot . It
was 4:00 pm in the evening , We all took photos with
different stills.
I was capturing a photo of birds on the tree branch . I
have seen Siya through the camera . Siya was with her
friends . Siya was in a canteen. I was taking photos of
the couple birds which are on the trees opposite to the
canteen.
All those memories were reviewed in my mind . Araku
trip , movie , conversations with her all those were
getting into my mind. She was even more beautiful than
five years ago. I went to her to talk .
“Hey , Siya .Do you remember ? This is Harsha.” I
introduced myself to her.
“Hi !! Harsha. It’s been so long since seeing you.How
are you?” Siya asked with happiness on her face.
That Happiness says she still remembers me . I am
happy about that. She is such a sweet person. I Still
remembered what she said to me. Those words spoken
were really precious . Really time heals . Again We met
after Five years .
Even after five years , I feel the same , while talking to
her .Every moment spent with her was visualizing in my
mind.
I sat opposite to her in a chair to talk to her. “How was
your life , Harsha ?” Siya asked.
“Much better . I completed my graduation . Now I am
doing photography . Here is my visiting card. Siya
Photography.” I said to her, giving my visiting card to
her.
Siya , is seeing the visiting with her expressive eyes.
“Oh ! God , This is too much. You have named your
business with my name. This is so lovely.” Siya said to
me.
“Siya is not just a name , it’s an emotion for me.The
feeling is the same even after 5 years of distance. How
far we are , it doesn’t matter . It's all about love . It’s all
in our heart , Siya. So, I named it a Siya.I love my
profession and I love you too ”I said to Siya.
Siya got a call and she went to take the call for 15
minutes. There was a book on the table with the cover
‘My love Story that no one knows’. I opened the book to
read it.
The book was full of text , which was written by Siya . I
read some of them.
It was written like , “ It has been almost a year , i met
Harsha . I opened the album of araku trip . I was
missing all those moments with Harsha. I really enjoyed
his companionship . I was really feeling empty in this
Bangalore city . I was unable to connect to any other
person as I was with Harsha. That feeling may be love.
If that was love , I am in love with Harsha. I really love
him.”
And there are many feelings which were written by Siya
in her book . While reading that , tears rolled out of my
eyes .
After reading some text , I kept that book in its place.
Siya came to the table after talking on the phone.
“As the time heals , and destiny decides, we meet each
other again.Time has answered my feelings and destiny
has brought us together. I strongly believe this was love
, my feelings never changed in these five years and
even during graduation days.There were many days , i
remind you during my sleep . Whenever i see some
couples and whenever i see movies. My heart was
completely with you.” I expressed my feelings to her.
“I truly love Siya” , I proposed to her.
“Harsha , let's walk and talk” , Siya said to me.
“Yeah .Sure.” I said to Siya.
We went to the viewpoint of Hill. It was Viewpoint we
could see the bay view of visakhapatnam.We were
watching the Bay view from the view point . The sea is
full of waves . The roads were glowing with lights.
Siya held my hand . “It was so nice to meet you, Harsha
. During my graduation days, many times I thought of
you.I felt like meeting you and having some fun with
you.Those days were really awesome and so beautiful
and they are forever. Whenever I remember you , I used
to look at the painting you gave me and hug it with my
hands . It was a symbol of true love . A friendship turned
into love is really such a beautiful thing that happened in
my life. Yes , I was also in love with you as you are in
love with me. I Love you, Harsha . Love you So much.”
Siya Proposed me her feelings.
Siya accepted me for the rest of her life. Now we are
one , Harsha and Siya .We hugged each other for a
while. I can feel the same intense love which I felt five
years back when she hugged me. And Our Love
Continues…
