The Journey to You: Reaching Goa to Meet My Love (Part 9)

 

  As the sound of a moving train echoed across the green plains, it seemed to me that my heart was screaming loudly for my love and trying to say that I was not far from you.
    Perhaps the train crossed 9 or 10 tunnels during the whole trip and for some reason the train stopped in the tunnel, then they gave me a closer look at nature.

   This view cannot be interpreted in words, because half of the train was inside the tunnel, and half was outside, the water flowed from the top of the mountain along the train, as if it was washed by nature.Greenery everywhere, wonderful clouds in the sky, cool air made the weather even more divine.
     Looking at this mesmerizing picture, it seemed as if nature itself was full of beautiful colors. My heart said that I could live with love by making my home in these beautiful places.

      But the train whistle reminded me that my love is waiting for me in Goa, and the train is about to start again.
       The last station of this train was Madgao and I needed to get to a hotel near Candolim beach, so I thought of getting off at Thivim station 2 stations before Madgao because from here I found a shortcut to the hotel on a google map.
    On this long 32 hour journey, the train arrived in Goa and my heart beat faster as the moment I was looking forward to was  just around the corner.
      The train stopped at Thivim station and I came out of the station with my luggage.   

   Due to the expensive fare of taxis, I thought it appropriate to take a lift from someone and soon a good man gave me a lift and took me to the local bus station from where I had to go to the hotel.
    

 Arriving at the bus station, I asked which bus was going to the hotel and found out that my bus would leave after a while. I sat in the seat with my luggage and the crowd on the bus began to grow.
  

   Along with the place, all the faces and their language were also new. As this bus was heading to the beach, there were also foreign tourists on it.
  

  After a while, the bus started, and in the meantime I plunged into my thoughts and feelings, as the expectation of the upcoming meeting permeated me through and through, showing a sweet aftertaste in my mouth.
     I also told the conductor to tell me when I would arrive at the hotel because there were most of the hotels on this road. The faster the bus distance to the hotel I needed shortened, the more my attraction to my beloved grew.
    

 Now the air seemed even more inviting, because I, too, felt my love in it. During this period of great thought, the bus stopped in front of the meeting point, and after reaching the check-in counter, I was greeted by a friendly Indian, smiling broadly with a snow-white smile.
    

   He already knew about my visit and, without hesitation, gave me the address of the hotel room.
    My two silver wings fluttered behind my back, and I, as if taking off, hurriedly went with my things to the indicated number.
   Seeing that the room was locked, I told my beloved that I was waiting for you in front of the room. She asked me to wait a little longer.
      The evening came into its own, seeing off the sultry day with its coolness. There was a sweet sweet pain in my heart as both my mind and my heart were bewildered as to what would happen when I saw her.
     Through the large window in the hotel lobby, I closely followed every movement.
Her first glimpse was about to appear. After a while my heart sank ... I saw her walking in a beautiful dress in my direction.
