Wanderlust Woman - Part 2

Her pair of brown eyes smudged with blue colored eyeliner fell in love with the boat house her client had booked for her.

"Remove your sandals and enter mam", said the helmsmen.

She walked into the double decker boat with sandals on one hand and trolley with another. The antique wooden doors, glass windows, king size bed with transparent curtains and a large sized bath tub made her jaws wide open.

By then the boat started moving and the helmsmen requested her to come out to embrace God's own country. The evergreen algae, never-ending backwater, arrays of coconut trees made her feel heaven.

The west winds blushed hurridely giving her goosebumps. Her phone vibrated bringing her back to reality.

"Did you forget to take pictures cutie pie" smiled Karthick.

"Yes, my two eyes aren't enough to admire this scenery", she replied back sitting on the couch comfortably.

"Ma'am, can we bring dinner for you", interrupted the cook.

"One minute Karthick". Yes anna, bring it and please call me Priya, not Ma'am. 

"This is what I love in you Priya. You're down to earth and ego free".

"Ego free, hahahaha", I miss your smile Karthick now!

"Come here baby, I am waiting", he whispered.

"Why did you let me go then", she raised her voice, keeping her one hand on hips.

"Because I love your passion. I want you to be you, even if I am with you or not", he said.

"Don't be formal", she cut short him.

"I think your dinner is ready, have it now. We will talk in a while", Karthick sang!

"Priya Ma'am dinner is ready", the cook stood at the entrance holding a tray filled with tasty and aromatic dinner.

"Thanks anna".

"You know me well Karthick", Priya blushed.

"Anything for you", he blew a kiss on his phone.

Following the dinner, she travelled on the boat with her best friend: the moon.

The spicy fish curry and roti gave her the energy she required. She sat on the edge of her boat with her legs let outside. She took her waterbrushes to paint the scenery but the weather had other plans. She heard a whistle sound from behind and to check what it is, she got up.

"It's our pet Ma'am", said the cook.

"Can I see him", she asked innocently.

"Yes mam".

"His name".

"His name is Hope", he chuckled.

To her suprise Hope was a white coloured eagle sitting on the window near kitchen.

She grabbed her smartphone to capture him whereas he flew silently to rest on her soft hands.

She enjoyed his company and recollected Harry potter series.

She dialled his number but it was unreachable. She didn't realise when her head touched the pillow but at sharp 5 am, Hope woke her up to enjoy the sunrise! 

Hope didn't knew then that it was Priya's last sunrise today.
