"Let's move!" Riya came to them, who are clicking pictures of them, with the cutest Photographer they would ever know. 

"Nanda?" Riya called her in a stern tone. Nanda craned her neck after clicking a picture of Aadya and Meera together, posing some weird poses.

"Yes, Darling?" She strode towards Riya, who stood far from them like a strict Teacher, ready to scold her students. 

"Let's make a move now! It's already 5 PM now! We decided that we'll go to Calangute Beach right. You forgot?" Riya started talking, while Nanda bit her tongue when she mentioned the beach, which made Riya ask her the last words. 

Nanda threw a sheepish grin at Riya which is enough confirmation for her. Shooking her head, she dragged Nanda from there, followed by Girls behind them yelling, picking their backpacks in between. 

"Wait-wait-wait!" Nanda screamed, pulling her hand back from Riya. Sahitya handed Nanda her backpack so that she can shove the camera into it, But Nanda had put on her backpack and held her camera in her hands. Which kind of confused her friends. 

"What?" Riya asked folding her arms to her chest while Nanda glanced at the Stall of Accessories and then at Riya who huffed in defeat. 

"Please na! Its memories, Riya!" She exclaimed dragging Riya towards to followed by Meera, as Aadya and Sahitya sat on the steps in exhaustion. 

"Wow!" Meera's lips formed a perfect 'O' as she kept staring at the Anklet in her hand, which is making a jingle sound when she handed it to Riya. 

"Let all of us buy this!" Riya said, smiling at the Anklet, shaking the anklet. Meera looked amused as the girl is glaring at them a few minutes back, as they had asked to buy them and now is insisting on buying that.

"I knew it!" Nanda muttered under her breath, smiling at Riya, nodding her head. 

"We'll just keep it with us as a memory even though we won't wear it!" Nanda said, handing four anklets to Riya. 

Three of them sat beside Sahitya and Aadya, handing each anklet to them. Nanda took her anklet and started to wear it on her left ankle. Meera looked at her confused. 

"It reminds me of us, whenever it makes this sound. Reminds me that, we've been together and if we weren't on the same boat in the future, let it be, but, I'd be glad that at least we were In the same Sea, sailing to our own Destinies." Nanda said, looking over the horizon, where the Sun is hiding under the shining waters.  

Alakananda glanced to her left when she felt the poke on her arm, but as she laid eyes on the other side, there is no one, but a pair of feet. She held her head high, to look at Riya, grinning ear to ear. 

Nanda raised her brows at Riya, still sitting in her place. Riya gestured her to stand up and when she did, she Got a Gift from her people, which is a Tight Hug, filled with Love and Warmth. 

That moment, After so many months, Nanda felt at Home. Snuggling more into the group, she gulped that hard lump in her throat which might get tears in her eyes. 

Pulling back, Nanda grinned at them, pinching the bridge of Riya's nose while Meera did the same with Nanda. This small gesture made them chuckle at each other.

Soon enough, they left from Fort, again with the help of Mother Google,  they've reached the Calangute Beach, in Half an Hour. 

The people who are using Google on the Dialy Basis, all should have a Picture Frame of the CEO and Founder of Google in their Homes, without which today nothing is gonna happen right in the first time around. So that they can worship them and Google for their long life. 

Walking into the Beach with their Sandals in their hands, they sat on the sand for some time, watching the waves come and go. 

20 Minutes into their staring session at the waters, the Sun was long gone and there's the Moon playing peek a boo with the black blanket and those little stars.

Meera bored of it started making Sand Castles with the sand, which was collapsed by the tiny pebble Aadya has thrown her way.

"I dint mean to, Meera..." Words were on their way to Aadya's tongue and so was Meera's punch, who hit hard on Aadya's arm. Aadya hissed in pain. Both of them started chasing by then, making the three of them laugh out loud at them.

By the time Aadya and Meera came towards them after giving each other some punches followed by some kisses, Alakananda and Sahitya made their Castles of Sand. When Aadya's eyes flew away to have a look at Riya who had disappeared from there, she caught a glimpse of that lean figure in the not so crowded area, far away, not so far away from them, shooting the video of Nanda and Sahitya making castles, on her phone.

Staring at each other, Aadya and Meera had eye contact and blinked their lashes at each other. Followed their eye contact is a mess, created by them, jumping in their Sand Castles, pouring sand all over each other.  

The sudden jump made them startled, including Riya, who shook her head smiling at their Childish Tactics. She neared them taking long strides only to get dragged and fell on the sand. 

After a good amount of fifteen minutes playing with the sand, no no, in the sand, they cleaned themselves with the saline water of the Beach, they dried themselves with the only Towel they've been carrying in all their backpacks.  

"Let's eat something!" Meera led them to the small Cafe/Restaurant on the Beach. As Nanda kept walking, her Anklet is making the sound, of the sound which they can hear in that crowd. Aadya and Sahitya smiled at each other, walking behind Nanda, seeing the anklet around her ankle. 

"I'm gonna wear it!" Sahitya said with her hand in the air, while Aadya nodded her head at Sahitya. 

"I'm also!" Saying, each other tied the anklet to one another's ankle. They both snapped their heads at the sound of a click and came across Riya clicking their Pictures. Both of them posed for it, finishing it off with a kiss on their Cheeks.  

Laughing, they've separated from each other, as Nanda and Meera kept staring at them so so weirdly. That expression is very familiar for them, as they've seen it 100 times whenever two girls are kissing each other. 

Nanda every time pulls the same face and the thought that keeps roaming in her brain is, Are they Lesbians or what? Romancing in the public and all! That's the only thing some ti her brain, which got habituated to them which is the reason why they shrugged it off with a scoff. 

Shooking her head, Aadya took a morsel of their food only to spit it out. Nanda laughed out loud at them that the water in her mouths spilled out.

"Why didn't you tell me that, that's nonveg?" Aadya asked her sister and then looked at Riya, after gargling water. 

"Even we didn't see that it's in front of you!" Riya said ever so innocently, in between glancing at Meera, who nodded her head. 

"Then, what are you doing? Counting the stars?" Aadya screamed at Nanda who still trying to muffle her laugh. 

"How do I even know it's nonveg when the plate is kept in front of you, Aadya. I didn't get the chance to have a look at it also!" Nanda explained, laughing in between. 

Aadya shook her head, sighing, and soon a small smile spread over her face. 

"I totally forgot the fact that you don't eat non-veg!" Sahitya gasped while looking at Aadya and Nanda. 

"I thought, you'd also started eating as Nand eats nonveg!" Meera confessed, looking at Nanda who's looking keenly at Meera. 

"Oh please!" Naanda raised her hand in the air. All of them cocked their heads at her. "I only eat Chicken!" She said making faces. 

"It also falls under the nonveg category, Nandu!" Riya whispered, rolling her eyes. 

Laughing at the Insane Rebel, they all finished their food, as they are Hungry for ages, and literally ate like Hungry Monsters that Evening. 

At 8:30, they left the Beach to their Hotel, on the way, buying cards for them to play in their Hotel room. 

Freshening up, they changed into normal pyjamas, after which, they started playing cards, about which Meera had no clue about. Riya made her learn, as Nanda left to fetch some Beverages for themselves and to see if Chai is available in the hotel at the time or not. 

To their bad luck, Nanda came back with some cool drinks and as they have snacks with them, they didn't get bothered about it. 

By the time Nanda came back, four of them have played a round of it to see if Meera is ready to play or still is in learning session and to their surprise, she has learnt it.

As they started playing, sitting in a round group, Nanda got a naughty idea. She moved close to Meera as she's been sitting Nanda's right side.

Pretending like she's checking her cards, Nanda tried peeking into Meera's cards but as Meera caught her peeking into her cards, leaning on her, she moved them away from Nanda's prey eyes, close to her chest. 

"Aye!" Meera tried warning her, but, Nanda asked her to come near her which Meera did out of curiosity. Nobody has seen all of this, as they were busy with their cards. 

"You know what?" Nanda whispered into Meera's ears while Meera also whispered. 

"No, I don't!" Nanda slapped her forehead, not knowing to slap Meera or Smile at her. Composing herself, she whispered again. 

"That is, I can see your cards, but you cant see mine. You can see the cards of the person right to you!" Nanda whispered while, Meera who doesn't know ABCD of playing cards, trusted her as a Goat trust it Butcher. 

"Show!" Nanda whispered as her turn came while Meera showed her cards, which made Nanda grin, resulting in Riya who's looking at her get suspicious. 

As Nanda was about to pass her card but stopped hearing Riya, who screamed as they do in movies, startling them. 

"What?" Nanda screamed at her, with her had on her heart. Glaring at Nanda, she stared ta Meera, who's as confused others were. 

"Meera! She asked you to show your cards, is it?" Riya asked while Nanda jumped in her place resulting the cards fell off her hands. 

Meera glanced ta Nanda before nodding her head and saying Yes. 

"I knew it!" Riya yelled, throwing her cards on Nanda's face. Pushing Nanda on the bed, Sitting on her stomach, they got themselves into a mess. 

After fighting with pillows, water bottles, chips packets, they fell flat on the bed on their stomachs, smiling and laughing. 

Few minutes passed by, Meera was the first one to break the ice among them. 

"I wish, we all could be like this forever!" She said while looking at the ceiling. Remaining them glanced at Meera, as a trickled down her cheek. 

"That's what life is all about, Meera! Happens everything we didn't anticipate or have await of!" Aadya sighed. 

Soon enough, they all slipped into a deep slumber in their places, await of the next day.
