Because it needs to be brought up to the temp of homiostasus for water before it can be heated from that state into a vapor, and you need to extract the engery that was needed to freeze the water also.

in solid the attraction between molecules is high,

when we heat the kinetic energy of molecules increases.

only when molecules become more movable it occurs melting and boiling so it have have higher melting and boiling point

The melting or freezing points are different for different substances. At room temperature your pencil and desk are solid, which means that they are frozen. However, water is a liquid at room temperature and is not solid (frozen) until it's temperature reaches 0 degrees Celsius.
