Chapter 1 - The Story - unedited version

It was a beautiful morning; the bright light of the sun was falling on the greenish leaves of the trees. A lovely house in the middle of these trees, a voice came from the house, "Honey, did you pack everything? We are getting late." softly calmly said Alex, 20's, handsome looking with golden hairs. He was packing clothes, tent and food. After packing he looked up and saw a photo on the wall, it was a pic of him and his wife during their wedding. Lucy, his wife, she was gorgeous, long brown hair with striking eyes.

Alex came out of the house with bags in both his hands, took them to his pickup truck and loaded it in back of the truck. Then Lucy came jumping with excitement, the smile in her face didn't end. Alex saw her and said, "You look so excited, If you're happy then I am happy." and gave a sweet little smile. They both took their seat and began their journey.

Alex was driving, Lucy was checking the map. Lucy took a bread from the basket and started eating it. "Where should we go first?" asked Alex. With bread in her mouth she pointed out a place in the map, it was a park. Alex nodded and said, "Ok"

While driving Alex asked Lucy to show the map, he was struggling but somehow managed.

"Okay, first we'll go to the park, then take a long walk in the woods and then to the mountain and stay there tonight and later to your favorite places, is that ok." said Alex looking at Lucy. Lucy face light up. Alex watched her moves, she folded her legs, made herself comfortable on the seat and leaned towards the window, the soft sunlight fell on her face which made it glow. Her eyes were fixed on the trees and plants passing by, Alex's face sparked with a smile by seeing this.

The car was parked to the side.

It was a park with tall trees which stretched it's arms towards the sky, and the fallen dry leaves on the ground made a path. Both walked together through the forest. Lucy was feeling the nature, taking deep breath and admiring it. They held each others hands tightly, trying to make this time memorable.

After a walk they sat on a beach beside a tree in front of a beautiful Lake. The scene was something out of a beautiful painting. "Do you remember the day we met for the first time?" asked Alex. Lucy grasped Alex's arm and leaned on his shoulder. Alex took a photo out of his pocket and smiled at it. Alex closed his eyes slowly and let the memories fade in.

Few years back, It was night with cold breeze. Outside a Cinema "SOLITUDE" was standing Alex, young, with black suit and a scarf around his neck, was freezing from the cold. Alex muttered himself with a displeased face "What a waste of time, the director doesn't even know how to make a movie."

A girl standing beside with a red hat and scarf heard it and came towards him "I apologies, please don't say that, the director has made a good movie." said Lucy.

Alex glanced at her, he was stunned by her beauty. At first few seconds he didn't say anything but later he broke with a slight of anger in his words "What do you mean? The director could have made the climax more clear and emotional.

But he didn't, I mean this is the most stupid film ever made by Shravan. And by the way who are you?" Lucy got mad at this and said, "What do mean clear and emotional? the movie is about a person who could feel others feeling, now tell me if you were in the character's place what would you do?"

Alex paused, he couldn't answer this question. The time Alex was going to say something a taxi came and Lucy went away. He just stared at the taxi as it passed and then turned around, and saw the title "SOLITUDE" he was standing there, alone in the entire street thinking deeply.
