Hi my dear readers. The most awaited chapter is here finally. I've rewritten the whole story. Hope you find this interesting than the previous one (for the readers who have already read this old version). A special thanks to saviya93 and znikil for pressurizing me to update this. Without you, I wouldn't have taken up this story for rewriting. A special special thanks to Akiprabagar sis for helping me out and encouraging me to change my writing style.

Here goes the first chapter...

******************************************************************

The blazing sun peeked out from the bushes of the bright clouds marking the beginning of a new day. Early birds chirped their way, in search of its prey and the bustling streets were filled with roaring vehicles. But, in a far far land, away from the busy noisy streets, there lived five friends amidst a serene environment. The heavenly gardens and the alluring flowers enhanced the beauty of a well built exquisite bungalow. Each and every pillar was built with utmost care and love. After many years of hard work, the friends put in their efforts to build their home. Being brought up in an orphanage their life was full of struggles. 'Survival of the fittest' was the only motto they had. They grew up as close friends, studied hard and grabbing the opportunities that came across, they became the best doctors in Woodsvalley. And after many years they had set their life peacefully and in a soothing slumber they slept.

Bright rays of the sun crept in, through the curtains of the elegant rooms of the five friends and the blaring alarms echoed, breaking the silence of the house and their quiet slumber. Shoving off the blankets from their frames, they scurried to tap it off. Angelina was the first one to wake up. Stretching and relaxing her muscles, she slowly strode towards her window and pushed aside the curtains, letting the sun rays fill the room. Rolling up her hair in a perfect bun, she had her shower and got ready in her dark blue shorts and a peach coloured t-shirt. She walked in to the kitchen and setting the vessels ready for breakfast, she began chopping vegetables and the other required items for cooking. John entered after a while in his crisp blue t-shirt and jean. His chocolate fragrance lingered in the air. He greeted Angel and helped her in cooking.

Sniffing the aroma of the delicious dishes, Alicia, Peter and Dave hurriedly freshened up and gathered around the table. Angel and Joe set the dishes on the table. Looking at their favourite dishes being served, the other three grinned wide. Not wasting a single minute they savoured the taste of the freshly prepared food. After having a full meal, they washed the empty vessels and escaped to their garden. Alica went to nurture the plants while Peter sat under the shade with a piece of paper and pencil. Observing Alica carefully, his hands started creating his magic on the paper. David quietly sat under a tree in a far corner while Angel and John were talking about their works. The hospital where they work, had granted them holidays for two months.

Sweat dripped from their foreheads, yet the hot sun never seemed to lower down its temperature. This year summer was the worst so far. They had somehow managed to pass their time for the past 15 days, but they were worried about the days yet to come. A comfortable silence prevailed for sometime. John was plucking the grass in frustration. Suddenly, John's face lit up in excitement as an idea struck him. He called Peter, Alica and David and made them sit with him. Peter, Ali and Angel were curious to know the matter, but Dave was so dull. His usual charm was missing.

Ali broke the silence and asked Joe, "What's up Joe? You look so excited?"

Joe questioned the gang, "Come on guys, this is our vacation. We need to go somewhere. Are you guys able to bear the heat?"

The trio – Angel, Ali and Peter nodded a no whereas Dave was staring at Joe with a blank expression.

Peter had a questioning look. Raising his thick black eyebrows he stated, "Of course Joe. The heat is becoming unbearable nowadays. Apart from that we have no works to do and is quite boring to stay at home."

Angel interrupted, "Guys, I have an idea. How about a visit to Snowville?"

Alica jumped in joy shouting, "Yipee, a perfect place for this summer."

Matching Alica's excitement, Peter too sprung up saying, "Yaaayyy, we are going to experience the first snowfall."

John's lips curved into an eye-catchy smile looking at their excitement. Angel shook her head in disbelief looking at the duo's childishness. She noticed Dave's grim face adorned with the frown lines that spoilt his beauty. Throwing her arms on his shoulder, she asked him if he was ready for the trip. When David refused to go for the trip all their excited faces fell and their bright smiles vanished.

"What's wrong Dave?," Angel whispered in a caring tone.

"Nothing. I don't feel like coming. You guys have fun. I'll stay here and take care of our home," snapped David.

"Arrey, come on Dave. We'll ask someone to take care of our house. Let's have fun. You'll feel stress-free," pleaded Angel.

"Why are you pestering me like this? Can't I have my own time? And I'm not stressed. Don't care too much for me," retorted David.

This was the first time David was harsh towards Angel. Angel's diamond eyes brimmed with tears hearing his words. Peter, Alica and John were taken aback by his rude behaviour.

Peter noticed the tears in Angel's eyes and confronted Dave, "Dude, why do you sound rude? Angel didn't say anything wrong. Apologize to her."

Angel swiftly wiped off her tears and masking a fake smile told the others that she was fine and ran inside the house. John held Alica by her wrist and stopped her from following Angel. Shaking his head in negative John told Alica to give Angel some time and she would get better soon. David was staring at the retreating form of Angel. His blue eyes that had a tint of grey shade in it, held an unknown grief and his heart clenched in pain.

Noticing the changes in him, Peter placed a comforting arm on his shoulder and said, "Relax Dave. You are not in your right mind," and facing the others he told, "Let's go in."

The trio went in and sat on couch silently. An uncomfortable silence prevailed the whole evening. John and Alica were in the kitchen preparing dinner when Angel joined them. She offered to help them but the duo refused and ordered her to sit calmly. Picking up a carrot in her hand, she hopped on the kitchen counter, dangling her legs. Peter approached Angel and caressed her hair as if she was a kid. Angel held a small smile and crunched on the carrot. A while later, when the dinner was ready to be served, David came in and sat near the dining table. All had their dinner in silence and retired to their beds, after completing all the household chores.

Alica and John dozed off as soon as they hit their beds. But, sleep was never on its way for Peter and Angelina. David's behaviour troubled them a lot. Twisting and turning in their beds, Peter finally fell asleep. Poor Angel, she was the only one who couldn't sleep while David was having a troubled sleep. Nearly at the beginning of midnight, Angel's eyes closed as sleep had found its way, but only to be woken up the next moment.

A loud clang reverberated throughout the house.
