Oct 01, 2024
Story Begins –Part I– Summer of 2022 in Nepal (…Umanga, Anjali & Alisha)
Amidst the sweltering mid-June heat, as the mercury soared to a scorching 40 degrees Celsius, in the serene city of Lumbini, the birthplace of Lord Buddha, Umanga, a young man with long, flowing hair and a rugged mustache and beard, exuded a sense of free-spirited charm and individuality, immersed himself in his work as a Lead Designer at the Lumbini Development Trust. Unbeknownst to him, a girl named Anjali, whom he had known since school, used to harbor deep feelings for him. However, she was hesitant to reveal her emotions all at once, preferring to let them unfold gradually.
Silence to Serenity: A Love Story
Story background (Exposition): Anjali and Umanga, two kind souls whose paths had crossed by fate, found solace in their unspoken connection. Though hesitant to express their feelings, their hearts danced to the rhythm of a silent love that grew stronger with each passing day. As destiny weaved its tapestry, they embarked on a journey of self-discovery, nurturing their bond amidst laughter, surprises, and heartfelt gestures, leading them to a happily ever after they had yearned for in their unspoken love for years.

Anjali was a shy, introspective, and cultured young woman with a remarkable intellect. She had a perfectly proportioned body and framed her face with glasses, accentuating her big, expressive eyes. Her complexion was fair, and she preferred a natural look without makeup. Her long silky hair cascaded down her shoulders, adding to her overall charm. Anjali was dedicated to her pursuits and carried herself with grace and confidence. She was jolly and friendly, treating everyone respectfully and radiating a lovable aura wherever she went.
Anjali often found herself captivated by Umanga during their school days. She admired his intelligence, kindness, and sense of humor from afar, cherishing every interaction they had. But her fear of rejection and uncertainty kept her from confessing her feelings.
Years passed, and Umanga’s career took him to Bhairahawa, while Anjali stayed in Kathmandu to pursue her dream of starting a luxury boutique brand. She lived with her family in Khumaltar, Lalitpur, and ran a start-up boutique showroom in Pulchowk. Despite the physical distance, her feelings for Umanga grew stronger. She regularly followed his achievements and successes from afar, hoping for an opportunity to express her affection someday.
On Jun 4th, 2022, Anjali’s cousin, Alisha, came home from the United States for a summer break after four years of graduate studies in Finance at CUNY Baruch College in Manhattan, New York. She had three weeks to spend in Nepal. So, Anjali and Alisha started planning on how to make the most of her vacation time. Alisha expressed a keen interest in exploring different places in Nepal, including Lumbini. Despite Anjali’s reservations about visiting Lumbini due to the unbearable summer heat, Alisha insisted on including it in their itinerary. Anjali reluctantly agreed to accompany Alisha and the rest of their family to Lumbini, despite never having been there before. So, they finalized their triangular trip – the first stop in Lumbini, next in Meghauli, Chitwan, and then the last in Pokhara.
She knew Umanga worked in the city, but it didn’t come to her mind to see him while visiting there.
To Anjali’s surprise, Alisha excitedly revealed the bus tickets she had already purchased for the entire family, even before receiving Anjali’s confirmation. Their close bond and deep understanding of each other’s preferences made them the best buddies, more like siblings than cousins.
They went for a quick shopping in the evening at the Labim Mall and Mangal Bazaar area to gather things for the trip. So things were all set to take the bus from Thamel the following morning.
— Part II — Tourist Bus Leaves from Kathmandu
Jun 9th, 2022, 6 am: The bus they boarded was one of Kathmandu’s most luxurious tourist buses. It boasted air conditioning, ample legroom, wide and comfortable seats, cleanliness, and even personal mobile chargers. The passenger windows were adorned with deep blue color curtains, providing privacy, and overhead compartments allowed them to store their belongings securely. Chilled water bottles and snacks were served throughout the journey, adding comfort. The bus made delightful stops at various points for quick snacking, a buffet lunch, and the chance to buy fresh fruits from the locals, further enhancing their joyous travel experience. To Alisha’s surprise, Anjali could pay for those small expenses by QR code scans with her mobile phone. Nepal, indeed was going cashless and becoming digital.
As they traversed the route, Anjali was mesmerized by the breathtaking scenes unfolding along the banks of the Trishuli River. Passing by the Manakamana cable car station, she took a moment to offer a quick prayer from inside the bus. As seemed normal on Nepal’s highways, their journey hit an unexpected obstacle when they encountered a traffic jam near Mungling. It turned out that a car had accidentally hit a chicken on the highway, leading to a heated dispute between the car owner and the chicken’s owner, who demanded Rs2000 as compensation. The standoff persisted for an hour until the chicken’s owner was finally satisfied with an Rs1500 settlement. Once the dispute was resolved, traffic resumed its normal flow. Despite the jam, Alisha was pleasantly surprised by the bus company’s friendly, professional, and caring service. She found it far superior to her experience with Greyhound Bus from Denver, Colorado, to Las Vegas a few years ago.
Through this journey, Anjali reaffirmed to Alisha that Nepal was progressing day by day, evident in the excellent companionship and services they were enjoying. It was a testament to the country’s continuous improvement and positive developments.
As the bus journey continued, Anjali couldn’t contain her excitement, even as others around her dozed off, feeling the weariness of the trip. Through her window, she marveled at the breathtaking beauty of nature unfolding before her eyes. The convergence of two rivers, Trishuli and Marshyangdi, into a single point, captivated her. The hills that formed a path for these rivers showcased their majestic allure, while tiny houses nestled amidst the mountains added a sense of solitude and charm to the scenery.
Anjali’s gaze shifted to the numerous suspension bridges that spanned across the rivers, connecting communities and creating a sense of unity. The occasional sighting of ropeways added a touch of adventure to the landscape, making her heart skip a beat with anticipation. As she enjoyed the picturesque views, her headphones played her favorite songs by LOBO, a nostalgic reminder of the melodies she cherished during her school days.
Immersed in the beauty of the journey, Anjali couldn’t help but feel deep gratitude for the opportunity to witness such natural wonders. The enchanting scenery, the soul-stirring music, and the anticipation of reaching Lumbini made the bus ride an unforgettable experience.
— Part III — Bus Arrives in Bhairahawa
The bus finally arrived in Bhairahawa at 7 pm, signaling the end of their long journey. They had pre-booked a hotel at the exquisite Tiger Palace Resort in Bhairahawa, about 26 kilometers east of Lumbini. Eager to refresh themselves, they swiftly checked in and went to their rooms. Anjali, exhausted from the day-long bus trip compounded by the scorching heat of Bhairahawa, immediately headed for a refreshing shower.
Feeling the weariness in her bones, Anjali decided to skip dinner and opted for an early bedtime. She knew that a good night’s sleep would rejuvenate her for the adventure that awaited her the next day. With excitement bubbling inside her, she intended to rise early and seize every opportunity to explore the sacred grounds of Lumbini.
— Part IV — Day 1 in Lumbini
Jun 10th, 2022, 6 am: Anjali woke up early the next morning, feeling refreshed and energized. She took a leisurely shower and prepared herself a steaming cup of coffee in the comfort of her hotel room. As the aroma of the coffee filled the air, she took a moment to savor the morning’s tranquility, allowing the caffeine to awaken her senses.
Joining her cousin and the rest of the family for breakfast in the hotel restaurant, Anjali felt a sense of togetherness and excitement for the day ahead. They indulged in a delicious spread of breakfast delicacies, fueling themselves for the adventure awaited them.
7:30 am: After breakfast, they boarded a hotel van that had been arranged for their convenience. It was everyone’s first time in Lumbini, their eager anticipation growing with every passing moment. The van whisked them away to the revered Maya Devi Temple. As they embarked on this sacred journey, Anjali couldn’t help but feel a deep sense of reverence and wonder.
Anjali Meets Umanga
9:15 am: As Anjali and her family arrived at the revered Maya Devi Temple in Lumbini, their eyes scanned the surroundings in awe. And then, amidst the bustling crowd, Anjali’s gaze met the familiar figure of the guy she had once known from school. There stood Umanga amidst the crowd, engaged in his work-related tasks. Her heart skipped a beat as the memories of their shared school days flooded her mind. Anjali yearned for Umanga to notice her, to recognize the hidden emotions that had lingered within her all these years. As she approached Umanga, her voice trembled slightly. With a mixture of surprise and joy, she mustered the courage to say hello. “Hey, it’s been so long!” she exclaimed, a smile lighting up her face.
To her delight, Umanga, with a sweaty face, recognized her and returned her greeting warmly. Alisha, who had also attended the same school, said a cheerful hello to Umanga. Introductions were quickly made, and he conversed briefly but pleasantly with the entire family.
As their interaction unfolded, Umanga revealed that he held special passes as the Lead Designer of Greater Lumbini, allowing him to provide unique experiences within the sacred grounds. Anjali’s heart skipped a beat when Umanga promised to take them on a memorable tour during their two-day stay in Lumbini.
Umanga returned to work, promising they would reunite for lunch at 1 pm. As they ventured into the temple, Anjali’s excitement grew, her mind filled with curiosity and eagerness to explore Lumbini in the company of the guy who had unexpectedly reappeared in her life.
Little did she know that this trip would become a turning point in her life.
Luncheon With Family
2 pm: After a delightful lunch with her family, Anjali eagerly followed Umanga as he took on the role of their knowledgeable tour guide role. As they explored the ancient heritage sites of Lumbini, her eyes were drawn to his face, captivated by the joy and enthusiasm that radiated from him.
Umanga looked more mature and handsome than ever before. With a pair of sleek black shades, his confident demeanor seemed accentuated. The gel in his hair gave it a polished and stylish look. His shirt was neatly tucked in, emphasizing his well-groomed appearance.
Umanga’s deep voice was captivating. His words flowed smoothly and effortlessly. His ability to communicate effectively and eloquently added to his charm and charisma. The transformation in Umanga’s appearance and demeanor left Anjali pleasantly surprised. She admired how he had grown into a mature and confident individual.
Anjali couldn’t help but watch him intently, appreciating how his facial expressions mirrored his deep passion for the history and significance of the sacred place they were visiting. His animated hand movements entranced her, his body language conveying a profound connection to the heritage surrounding them.
Yet, amidst the exhilaration and the depth of the shared stories, their eyes occasionally met, creating an unexpected but undeniable connection that left them both feeling somewhat uncomfortable. In those fleeting moments of locked gazes, time seemed to stand still, and a silent understanding passed between them, hinting at unspoken emotions and unexplored possibilities.
Anjali noticed a slight shift in Umanga’s demeanor whenever their eyes met. He would momentarily falter, forgetting what he was about to say. It was as if their shared gaze had the power to momentarily distract him, leaving him lost in a sea of unspoken emotions.
Quickly regaining his composure, he would continue explaining, but there was a subtle change in his voice, a hint of vulnerability that added a layer of complexity to their interactions. Anjali wondered if he felt the same magnetic pull between them, if he, too, was grappling with the swirling emotions that seemed to dance in the air whenever they were near.
In those instances of discomfort, Anjali and Umanga found themselves grappling with a mixture of excitement and uncertainty, their burgeoning feelings intertwining with the historical narratives they were unraveling. It was as if the stories of Lumbini were whispering secrets of their own, guiding them along an uncharted path of love and self-discovery.
End of Day 1
5:30 pm: As the day ended and Umanga dropped the family back at the hotel, Alisha couldn’t help but notice the undeniable connection that seemed to linger between Anjali and Umanga. With a mischievous grin, she playfully poked Anjali about it, nudging her towards acknowledging the unspoken emotions that had been building throughout the day.
Anjali caught off guard, blushed and denied any romantic involvement, brushing it off as a mere coincidence. She didn’t want to reveal the thoughts and feelings swirling within her, unsure how to navigate their shared history’s complexities and the budding emotions that seemed to grow stronger with each passing moment.
Determined to shift the focus, they started planning the next day, eagerly discussing the attractions they wanted to explore. Anjali tried her best to distract herself from the whirlwind of emotions that had been awakened within her, burying them beneath the excitement of the upcoming adventures.
Day 2 in Lumbini
Jun 11th, 2022: The following day dawned with excitement and concern as some family members expressed their inability to join due to feeling unwell or wanting to avoid the scorching heat of Lumbini. Undeterred, Anjali, Alisha, and two other family members eager to explore forged ahead, determined to make the most of their time in this sacred land.
9 am: They embarked on a journey through the historical sites of Lumbini, carefully navigating the rich tapestry of temples, monasteries, and ancient ruins. The day’s sweltering heat seemed to cast a hazy veil over the landscape, but their spirits remained undaunted.
Anjali found solace in the presence of Umanga, his companionship offering a comforting respite from the oppressive heat. As they walked side by side, she felt warmth from within, as if the energy of Lumbini itself was fueling their connection.
Together, they explored the revered Maya Devi Temple again, where Siddhartha Gautama was believed to have been born. Anjali couldn’t help but feel a sense of awe and reverence in the air as if the ancient whispers of enlightenment echoed through the sacred grounds.
They wandered through the tranquil gardens, their steps synchronized. Umanga shared stories and insights about the significance of each place they visited, his words painting vivid images in Anjali’s mind.
During their exploration, they found themselves drawn to the quiet beauty of the Ashoka Pillar, standing tall as a symbol of peace and enlightenment. Anjali couldn’t help but marvel at the serenity that enveloped the area. At that moment, she felt a profound sense of gratitude for being able to experience such a remarkable journey alongside Umanga.
12:30 pm: As the day progressed, they sought shelter under the shade of ancient trees, finding solace in each other’s company. They engaged in deep conversations, sharing their dreams, aspirations, and experiences that had shaped them into who they were today. Umanga’s words resonated with Anjali, his insights igniting a spark of curiosity and self-reflection within her.
In those intimate moments, surrounded by the echoes of ancient wisdom and the palpable connection between them, Anjali couldn’t help but wonder if destiny had guided them back together in this sacred place. It was as if Lumbini had conspired to reunite their paths, offering a chance for their hearts to intertwine amidst the historical marvels surrounding them.
In the sacred ambiance of Lumbini, surrounded by the essence of enlightenment, Umanga and Anjali found themselves drawn to spend hours sitting under the Bodhi tree. They delved into their shared past, reminiscing about the moments they had missed and discovering the profound connections they had unknowingly forged.
During their visit to the World Peace Pagoda, Lumbini, a sudden misstep caused Anjali to lose her balance. At that moment, Umanga instinctively reached out, his hands catching her and preventing her from falling. It was an awkward yet joyous connection, where their bodies briefly intertwined, igniting a spark of intimacy between them.
Umanga conversed deeply with a monk at the Royal Thai Buddhist Monastery in Lumbini. Unbeknownst to him, Anjali observed him with an enchanted gaze, finding solace in the depth of his thoughts. Their eyes met momentarily, and Anjali quickly looked away her heart racing. A mixture of curiosity and wonder danced between them as if their souls were yearning to intertwine.
The Myanmar Golden Temple in Lumbini provided a picturesque backdrop for a candid moment between Umanga and Anjali. Umanga, recognizing Anjali’s love for photography, willingly lay on the floor to capture the perfect photo of her. His selflessness and willingness to go to great lengths for her happiness touched Anjali’s heart, deepening her affection for him.
4 pm: Away from the watchful eyes of her family, Umanga and Anjali embarked on an hour-long evening walk in Tilaurakot. The tranquil atmosphere and the beauty of the surroundings allowed them to share their deepest thoughts, dreams, and aspirations. Step by step, their connection grew stronger, kindling an undeniable bond that made them feel as if they had known each other for a lifetime.
As the sun began to set, Umanga and Anjali found themselves searching for the perfect place to satisfy their hunger. They wandered through the narrow streets of Tilaurakot, enticed by the aroma of delicious local cuisine. Eventually, they stumbled upon a bustling street food stall adorned with vibrant colors and mouth-watering scents of various delicacies.
6 pm: With curious eyes and adventurous spirits, Umanga and Anjali immersed themselves in the local street food experience. They eagerly ordered a variety of dishes, savoring each bite with delight. Anjali’s eyes lit up as she tasted the flavors that reminded her of Lumbini’s vibrant culture and warmth. It was a simple yet memorable moment, filled with laughter, shared discoveries, and a genuine connection that deepened their affection.
Amid the lively atmosphere, surrounded by locals enjoying their evening, Umanga and Anjali felt a sense of belonging. They relished authentic street food, allowing it to nourish their bodies and their growing bond. At that moment, they realized that their connection went beyond physical attraction or shared memories—they had found comfort and joy in the simplicity of being together, appreciating the richness of their culture and the shared experiences that brought them closer.
The following day marked the departure of Anjali, Alisha, and their family to the next destination of their itinerary – Meghauli, Chitwan. As the moments ticked away, Umanga and Anjali realized their time together was close. The two days in Lumbini brought them remarkably close, weaving a tapestry of shared experiences and heartfelt conversations.
With a mix of bittersweet emotions, Umanga and Anjali cherished their final moments together. They walked, exploring the serene corners of Lumbini one last time. The air was filled with longing and hope as they discussed their dreams and plans for the future.
Underneath the Bodhi tree, where they had spent hours delving into their past, Umanga and Anjali made a promise to each other. They pledged to remain connected, despite the physical distance that separated them. They vowed to nurture their budding relationship, fueled by the shared memories they had created and the unspoken understanding that had blossomed between them.
Jun 12th, 2022, 5:30 am: As the time to bid farewell drew near, Umanga and Anjali held each other warmly. They looked into each other’s eyes, realizing that the depth of their connection transcended the boundaries of time and space. With a mixture of excitement and sadness, they whispered promises of seeing each other again soon, their hearts filled with the hope of a future where distance would no longer separate them.
Anjali and her family boarded the tourist bus to Meghauli. Umanga stood by her side, his eyes filled with joy and longing. They exchanged one last glance, silently reaffirming their commitment to each other.
Though the physical distance remained, Umanga and Anjali carried the shared memories, promises, and the newfound love that had taken root in their hearts.
