First touch of love feels like many things at once.

Badal Tale, Armaan chupe, 

jinhe dekhta tha main door se,

Barse hai Ab wo... Pehli Bar.♥️

Ruhana Mehra

Life is bound to be hectic when you're a Delhite. But twenty six year old Ruhana Mehra is always moving, always eager to explore something new. Some would call her a travel enthusiast, but she'd say she's a writer and blogger more than anything else. If she's travelling around, it's always for some inspiration for her book.

She texts a message to her mom as soon as her plane lands in Manali. The high altitude resort town seems to carry just the inspiration she needs. Ruhana drives around in a rented car that waits just outside the airport.

This kind of arrangement is fun and she always likes to travel around. She hasn't ventured far when someone comes running across the road, right at her car.

It's a young woman. Ruhana presses the breaks thinking this is someone attempting a suicide. Thankfully the car stops before the worst can happen.

The woman excitedly bangs at her fists against the car window, and Ruhana rolls it down the window with a frown.

Bhikari hai kya? Ruhana's first thought is that this can only be a beggar or someone desperately in need of money but-- one look at the woman's designer outfit convinces her otherwise.

"Please , please help me.. Mujhe kisi se milna hai manali me."

The woman must be in her twenties too, and seems to be from a well settled household- so what's this?

"Please, ma'am. Can you think you can offer me a ride?"

Ruhana sighs. "Come on along!"

The young woman slides next to her and as the ride resumes, she introduces herself. "I'm Abhilasha. I'm sorry for barging this on you.but there's someone who I need to meet. I only realized how important to me he's now. After he's gone."

Ruhana's eyelids bulge-- "He's gone?"

"Arey no! He's here in Manali..."

Ruhana heaves a sigh of relief, and focuses on the road.

"That's why, I didn't think twice." Abhilasha continues to speak-- "I didn't bother to check the cash in my wallet or anything else-- bina paison ke, bina dekhe, bina soche samjhe bas yaha agayi. ."

Ruhana shakes her head. Pagal hai kya? Aisa kon aata...

"I love him so much," Abhilasha adds.

Ruhana nods. Well she did assume this is love related.

"Where should I drop you, miss Abhilasha?"

"Marriott River country... if you don't mind."

"I'm headed there too."

Is it a coincidence? Ruhana tries her best to focus on the road as Abhilasha continues to speak about her life in Delhi. The girl is a Delhite too.

Ruhana doesn't know why the girl gives off a self centered vibe all along as she speaks-- it's all about how rich she is, how much she helped her friend Vineet grow the business and how it's all her effort that he's successful.

Maybe she must not judge someone so soon. The ride ends smoothly as the car pulls into the resort. Ruhana parks the car in the driveway that Abhilasha jumps out of the car, excitedly..

"There he is!"

Ruhana frowns. No thanks, nothing... the woman sure is impulsive. With another sigh, she pushes open the door and hurries to pull out her luggage.

Out of the corner of her eye she can see Abhilasha hugging a rather handsome guy-- that must be Vineet?

Whoever it is, he doesn't seem pleased to see Abhilasha, and is pulling away. Just then their eyes meet and Ruhana has to look away.

"Oh Vinu, I'm so glad I found you... you were angry with me huh?"

Vinu must be a nickname. Ruhana knows she must not listen but Abhilasha is being loud--

"I'm here now. I know I rejected your proposal but now I think we're perfect for each other. I can't find a more perfect guy like you--"

Ruhana frowns... that's not the reason to love somebody. Love just happens, isn't it?

Ruhana has written many novels, love stories... of course, she isnt a famed writer yet... and hasn't experienced romance in real life but-- that, that can't be love.

"And then I just ran in search of you. No wallet, no car... I just had to find you! I know this place is important to you. I'm glad I found you here."

Ruhana's sigh mingles with that of Vineet's--

"Why are you here, Abhilasha? Kaise?"

"Why? I hired a car, gave him my bracelet-- and ahh, that lady there gave me a ride."

Ruhana hurries to pull out her luggage. Oops... why is she even hurrying now? So she doesn't look like she eavesdropped yes.

Just as she finishes her task and hands the key to the gateman so he can park the car-- the man with Abhilasha-- Vineet is right next to her clearing his throat.

Abhilasha is still trying to hug him close-- but he sidesteps her, and she's only left seething.

"Thank you... you helped my crazy friend... Miss...."

Ruhana smiles. This guy seems to be a gentleman. More so since he's putting up with Abhilasha.

"Ruhana Mehra."

"Such a beautiful name... Ah, I'm Vineet Saxena."

Saxena... so he must be from Himachal. Did he move to Delhi? Ruhana is suddenly curious and wants to know more. He's got such a nice smile too. Oops she must accept his thanks and say it's nothing.

Ruhana smiles as they shake hands-- his warmth brings a strange feeling in her heart.

She shakes it off, watching Vineet turn on his heel and Abhilasha running after him, and she can't bluff that this feeling is new... and never happened before.

Something new begins?!
