It's been three days on the train and I have mostly slept through the hours without having the slightest interest to see out of the window or enjoy the scenarios.
Mom has been busy on the phone and didn't mind me much. I feel fresh though. Maybe this break was important.

After a few more hours, the brightness of the day starts fading and that's when we finally arrive at the destination.

I couldn't follow up the name of the station, so I just asked mom instead. She being her, avoided the question and asked me to get out of the station and get into the car as soon as possible. It's pretty cloudy and it'll start to rain anytime.

I carry my bags out of the train and the minute I step into the platform, water drops start falling.
Fuck this.
Mom gets down from the train and in no time the speed of the rain increases. We literally rush out of the station and get into the car.

"Welcome mam" the driver greets me and mom.
I smile at him and wipe my spectacles.

"Thank you for being here on time. Can you please drive us to the resort, as soon as possible? The weather isn't good and we both are half wet" she says in a sweet gesture to the driver.

He smiles at her and starts the car. The minute he pulls into the driveway,i turn towards mom.

"No i guess I have the right to know where exactly I am and where I am heading to? " I ask mom in a quirky tone.

"Nope, a few more minutes until you see it for yourself. Have patience sweetheart" she giggles.

I roll my eyes at her and turn towards the window.

Wow. This is damnnn.

I see the green water which looks so fresh and in perfect contrast with the small mountains behind. The rain on the water makes the scenario beyond aesthetic.

The sky has a perfect transition lining between the clouds and the clear sky. Even the outlines of each cloud are prominent. The sky and sea lining with this weather combined with the perfect blend of shades of greenery in the surrounding area, makes the view...... breathtaking.

We enter the road in the turning and I read the signboard as 'Welcome to Betalbatim beach'.

What?
Hold on.
What?
Betalbatim?
Seriously?
Betalbatim?
Mom planned this whole trip?????
Seriously??????

I am shocked at the name. Coming here was like a dream to me in this weather. I have always wanted to see the glowing beach at night. And mom knew about it. And she really planned the whole surprise for me?

Tears pull into my eyes as i turn to mom and shift to her and hug her tightly.

"Thank you so much, mumma. I love youuuuuu" i snug into her body like a happy kid and she just smiles and caresses my hair".

"I hope you are happy? Did I plan the surprise in the right way?" she asks and tries her best to cover up her smile.

I nod at her question saying yes.

We arrive at our resort and i jump out of the car. 

Finally.
