2 Weeks Earlier

Haruto was walking home alone. Suddenly someone from behind....."Haruto!". "Ahhh! Who's there!! Oh Sam! Stop scaring me from behind. You almost gave me a heart attack."

"Ha ha! Sorry. So our year final is over."

"Yeah. Finally some free time."

"Ua ha. So what's your plan?"

"Well to be honest I don't have one. What about you?"

"So you don't have one huh? Then be ready to be amazed."

Sam brings out something from his bag.

"What are these?"

"See for yourself."

"Oh my God! These are plane tickets to Nepal!! You're going to Nepal?"

"We are going to Nepal."

"Wait wait. We? You mean I can come too?"

"Well I got 3 tickets. And you don't have any plan. So why not?"

"Oh. I've to ask my mom tho. I think she will accept. But still I need her permission."

"Don't worry. If she don't give the permission I'll talk to her."

"Thanks a lot bud."

"You see, actually it was my plan from the beginning. You know my dad works in Nepal. He needed my help with his works. So I have to go there. And I know you love the mountains. So I bought 3 tickets."

"Thanks man. You're the best. So you bought 3 tickets. That means Aunty is also going with us?"

"Nope. Here's another surprise. Misaki will be joining us."

"Seriously?"

"Yeah. I already spoke with her. She said she's definitely coming."

"Man this tour will be awesome!"

"I know right. I'm very excited."

"So when is our flight?"

"9 December. At 3:00 PM"

"Wait. It's day after tommorow!"

"Yeah start packing. We'll stay there for a whole week. We'll go for hiking. So pack everything we need. Okay?"

"Sounds great. I still need the permission, remember?"

"Don't worry she will give the permission. And we three friends are going. She will understand."

"Yeah I hope so."

"Okay then I'll call you after reaching home."

"Okay bye. And thanks again for inviting me."

"You're welcome."

Haruto gets the permission.

Haruto is very excited. Cause he loves the mountains. He was born in Oshino Village in Japan. The village was near Mt. Fuji. He spend most of his childhood with mountains. He used to go hiking with his dad every Sunday. His wish was to climb the height peak of the world. And it is Mount Everest. But his dad passed away. He had to move to Tokyo with his Mom and little sister Harumi. In Tokyo he can't go for hill climbing. He missed the mountains so much. Finally he got the chance to be close to the mountains again. He's going to Nepal, the country known for it's mountains.

December 9, 2016

They all reached to the airport.

"Good afternoon Sam and Misaki. Ready to go?"

"Hell yeah!"

"Me too. Thanks for inviting me Sam."

"No worries. I would get bored by myself anyways. So thanks to you guys for accompanying me."

They board the plane.

The plane took off.

Sam was listing to music. Haruto was going through the magazines. Something interesting caught in his eyes.

"Hey Sam look."

Haruto shows Sam the magazine.

"What's this? The 'Legend of ShangriLa'."

"Yes. It says it's a hidden place in the Himalayas. Where the God used to live. That place is still not found but people believe it exists."

"Come on it's just a mith. Do you really think this place exists?'

"Don't know. But if it does it would be really great."

"It doesn't. Mark my words."

"Maybe you're right."

"The Legend of ShangriLa huh. I wish it exists. Nepal here we come!"
