Appollo borrowed a bike from Winston, and started his little tour of Zen. Photography was just another of his hobbies. As he kept cycling, he realised that what Basil said was right. Zen was indeed beautiful. As he had arrived in Zen late at night, this was the first opportunity for him to appreciate it's beauty.
Trees adorned both sides of the road. There were hardly any vehicles around, so he could hear the chirping of birds. There was a little river alongside.
Appollo stopped riding and got down from his bike to take some pictures. He opened his backpack, and took out his camera. The camera was a gift from his best friend's dad, Philander, who gifted it to him the previous Christmas.
Appollo was soon clicking pictures. He was trying to focus on getting a shot of the empty road along with the array of trees and the river when someone entered the frame.
He was about to move the camera away and shout at the person, when he noticed the face of the person.
The purest, kindest face he had seen. Doe shaped blue eyes, straight nose, red lips with a faint smile on them, long black hair. Appollo just couldn't take his eyes off her. She was cycling towards him. She stopped suddenly and waved at him.
