68 A Visit To Temple 2

It was situated at the top of the hill and the scenery around it was breath taking. There was tress and there was a bamboo garden and there was a fountain and there were lots of monks there. All in all it was all so beautiful. They both went inside the temple and offer their prayer there and they walked around the temple and marveled over the beauty of it. When they both came out they saw some children playing around temple with a football. They all were monks Hayley could say that because of their clothes. There was a smile on her face that could melt any heart and it did melt Aaron's heart. When Aaron was busy staring at Hayley at that exact moment ball came towards them and stopped at Hayley's feet and when she saw that there was a shine in her eyes and then she kicked the ball and ran after it like a happy child.

Aaron was watching Hayley surrounded by kids and playing football with them and there was happiness in her face which Aaron's didn't seen in weeks but finally he was able to see it on her face. At that point of time an old monk came near him and said "don't let her go". When Aaron heard someone's voice he broke his gaze from Hayley and looked in the direction of the voice and saw an old monk standing there with a smile on his face. He bowed his head in respect towards old monk and then he asked him politely to repeat what he just said now. That old monk smiled and spoke "that girl would bring everything that you desired in your life to you, whether it is love or companionship or friendship or family." Aaron smiled a bright smile after hearing this but what he heard next made him little bit restless, after little pause monk said again "maybe past will come knocking on your door but remember to be by each other's side and everything will be alright." his past had already came knocking on his door and already trying to drift them apart, Aaron thought. He nodded after old monk was done saying and then monk patted his shoulder and at the exact moment Hayley returns to their side and she smiled brightly at the old monk and bowed her head to pay him respect and after that old monk smiled and left their side.

After the monk left Hayley asked Aaron they should head back because it's getting dark now. They both started their journey back and this time it was easy to walk because they were heading down so it was not that difficult but G.o.d had other plan for them when they were about to reach bottom of the stairs Hayley's shoe broke and her leg got twisted and a sharp pain coursed through her body and a shrill cry escaped her mouth. When Aaron heard the cry he turned to look at Hayley and saw her bending, he reached to her and then he knew what happened. He swiftly removed her broken shoes and saw that her ankle was red and swelling. She was in pain that was evident on her face. Aaron turned his back towards her and bent down signaled Hayley to hop on his back. Hayley hesitated but she knew she wasn't able to continue their journey towards the villa in this condition but she was not feeling comfortable to ride on his back. If it had been in the past she had not been thought about it twice before hopping on but after knowing about Rachel she was having second thoughts. Now Aaron was getting impatient because of Hayley's reluctance so he tried to urged her with a smile on his face he said "stop thinking we are going to be late if you stay like that." when Hayley heard that they were going to be late he looked towards sky and it was already getting dark so she put her hand around Aaron's neck and leaned on his back. When Aaron felt her weight he stood up and adjusted her on his back and started his journey towards the villa.
