Place we dreamed off but not the situation

I opened the door and stepped out, it was cold sunny morning. I took a deep breath and a big smile came on my face. May be the effect of fresh air. After all, right now I was standing at a place which I dreamed of since teenage. I took 5–6 steps forward and stopped and was trying to absorb the beauty around me. I was wearing blue jeans with black winter overcoat. It was 5 degree Celsius and there was a chill in the breeze. I took both my hands near my mouth and was trying to rub both hands to feel warm. It was 8:30 am in the morning and sun was smiling in front of me. Sun light coming straight at me and it was a big relief. I turned to my left, enough to look behind me, the white color church building with thick red border was looking beautiful. It was a small but very beautiful church. It had its own garden. I was standing in the garden, it was full of small plants with flowers of different color shape and size. It was not looking less than heaven. Just 20–30 feet behind the church, the mountain was standing tall with fully covered snow and from top, small river was flowing down. Mountain was glittering like full of gold due to sun rays falling on snow. I looked to the right of the mountain, there were 4–5 small houses mostly white building with pyramid roof painted of bright colors . Some with red color some with blue, green. I got lost in my thoughts. When I was a teenage, success in life meant settling in abroad ( USA, Europe), living life in such beautiful cold and peaceful places and used to think that rest of the things in life will be taken care automatically. I smiled at my foolishness. As I came out of my thought, I turned back and took few more steps forward and came out of church complex , I stopped at footpath and was looking at the nice clean meandering road. Since this is a mountain area, there were some nice curves of the road making it look more photogenic. Across the road, there were some greenery area and long mountain trees, beyond which I could not see anything. I was so mesmerized by the peacefulness of this village, I was smiling from my soul. There were very few people and even less vehicles on road. I looked at my watch, its 8:45 AM , still I am clearly able to hear birds singing and sound of waterfall coming from some where near by. I could not stop myself and decided to take a walk on the footpath and see the waterfall. As I decided to walk forward, I heard my name from behind “Jeet ! isn’t this place looks exactly like the place we always dreamed off to spend our life together ?” ………………………………….
