WARNING:- NOT PROOFREAD

The next day, Alakananda took all of them to a clothes shop, and make them wear floral t-shirts, as everybody does when they are in Goa. Each one of them kept on insisting on Nanda that morning that where are they even going, But  Nanda being her most stubborn self, didn't reveal it. 

Changing their clothes, they've entered the Calangute Beach again, and that's when it hit Riya and Aadya. They were beyond shocked as they reckoned that Nanda is taking all of them to play water games. 

Panic struck them as nobody of them is okay with water let alone swimming and all. Riya pulled Nanda to her by her arm. 

"What?" Nanda asked at the serious face of Riya, now joined by Aadya, both glaring at her. Intimidated by their glares, she now again asked the, in a low pitch. 

"What?" She asked with her narrowed eyes and got nothing but silence as the reply. Fed up of the Dumb charades, Nanda pulled herself back and that's when Aadya spoke. 

"We're going for water games?" She questioned with all seriousness while Nanda sighed before nodding her head at her. 

"But why didn't you tell us?" Riya asked, folding her hands to her chest. 

Nanda shrugged her shoulders. "I don't know! I mean, I'm also afraid of all these things man, but, were in Goa for the first time and who knows this would be the last time also. Let's try everything out, na. And, this is just parasailing only. C'mon!" She insisted with a puppy face, at which no one can stand against without melting. 

Sighing, they agreed by the compulsion and asked Meera and Sahitya to not panic first of all, to which they agreed, running their sweaty palms. 

*  *  *

"Ma'am, five of you?" The guy in his mid-thirties asked Nanda, who nodded her head at him. 

"Okay, come!" He said, turning his Jet Ski boat around, which only can fit one person behind him. 

If I'll go first, there be no one to push them and they might drop also. So, I'll go last after sending them. It's better. Nanda calculated before looking at Meera who's as petrified as Nada was. the only difference is, Nanda is not displaying it out in the fear of it, they might step back from it. 

"She'll come with you!" Nanda said, pushing Meera's front who jerked and jumped in her place as waves are retouching their feet. 

"Me?" She screamed, pointing to herself with eyes wide.

"Yeah, you! Now, go!" Nanda said, giving Meera's hand to the guy, who smiled at them. 

"Don't panic. It's okay!" He said, smiling genuinely at Meera and then at the four of them who are not even waiting for their turn to come. But, only if that happens, As this thing will happen by hook or crook, cause, Alakananda wants it to happen. 

Praying along with Meera, they saw her Bid Bye to them, which fetched a laugh from all of them.

She sat behind the guy, who chuckled at the fear, which he's seeing for ages, as this is very common in his profession, as he comes across people like them on daily basis.

"Who will go next?" Nanda asked nobody in particular, as all of them have formed a standing line, folding their hands.

Riya, who stood beside Nanda gulped a lump, before moving away from Nanda, to stand beside Sahitya who's far away from her. So, she could hide in Sahitya's protection. The one thing she forgot that everyone's turn comes, but, there's just the time difference.

As Nanda turned to her left, expecting Riya to be there as a scared kitten, all she came across was her sister, biting her fingernails, killing to an extent that no-one can imagine.

A small audible chuckle escaped Nanda, at whom Aadya glared after turning her head sideways.

Shooking her head, Nanda whispered near Aadya.

"Scared?" Aadya scoffed at her youngest sister, who's the disguise of the devil.

"As if you aren't!" She snorted, in anger.

Nanda couldn't help but chuckle at her, gaining both lost soul's attention.

"I was!" She said it out loud so that both Sahitya and Riya cane be heard of what she's gonna say.

"But, I don't know now!" Aadya furrowed her brows at Nanda who smiled at her.

"Yeah! Accepting things the way they are, makes it simple for us! And then, no worries!" Nanda said shrugging her shoulders, which knocked some sense into their thick skulls.

Though what Nanda said didn't make it easy fi them, it helps in letting them at ease.

As the guy came back dropping Nanda on the Boat, Nanda asked Aadya to go, who complied, bidding her head.

After Aadya, Sahitya went on her own, rubbing her sweaty palms together, after wiping the sheer layer of sweat on her forehead.

Now, the fourth time the guy came to take one, Nanda glanced at Riya, who's staring right back at her.

Nanda prompted Riya to go and sit while Riya went and sat behind him promptly, sighing.

"Who will go first?" As five of them sat on the Boat, the guy asked, while they snapped their heads at Nanda, who didn't expect this for shocked.

"Me?" She asked with widened eyes while they nodded their heads simultaneously.

Having no other option left, Alakananda went for the Adventurous thing she's going to do for the first time in her life, also something in which she's not pushed by someone.

"First Time?" The guy asked making her wear the necessities.

"Yeah!" Nanda gasped which etched a smile on his lips.

"Don't worry! Take a deep breath!" He instructed Nanda to comply.

"Take a video!" Riya whispered into Aadya's ears, who took her phone out hurriedly.

"Ready?" He asked Nanda who just nodded her head nervously.

The guy gestured to his assistant to start and That's the start of Nanda's screams, followed by the loudest laughs.

As she was pulled back by the force, she got startled which is the result of her scream but as she kept going high in the air, she got at ease, enjoying most of the parasailing.

But her fear surfaced back when she was slowly kept coming down, to dip in the sea.

As she has dipped half her lower body into the sea, the first thing she felt is she's gonna drown but again she was pulled back, making her giggle come back.

That went on for 15 minutes after which they pulled Nanda towards the boat, with the canopy, and she's back in the boat again, fully drenched, and glowing face.

Four of her friends ran towards her to see if she's okay or not and witnessed her smiling all the while that Riya felt shed get pain in her cheeks.

One by one, they all did the Parasailing and came back with so much Happiness flooding over them.

Screaming in Happiness, they've enjoyed their own fair share of the time, and came back, grinning ear to ear.

All of them Hugged each other in happiness, and Nanda again, for the experience.

If it's not for her, they would've never touched this in their life. And if you ask them now, they wanted to do it again.

Meera, who got so enthralled by all this, asked the guy if they can do it again, but he denied, saying people are waiting for them, and they can again do this by buying the ticket again and waiting as they did before.

Disappointed, they sat on their seats while the guy smiled at them.

"Have a great day, girls!" He said, smiling at them, after dropping them on the shore, who smiled back at him, before screaming 'You too!'.

"We've spent One and half hour here!" Aadya said, glancing at her phone screen.

"Time passed too quickly, right;" Sahitya said, to which all of them agreed.

"Come!" We'll eat anything there!" Meera leads them to the same Cafe/Restaurant again, they went to last night.

"Order Please, Madam!" A Guy came towards them, trying his best to pronounce everything correct whatever he said in that Goan Slang. 

"Um..." Meera was about to order something while staring at the Menu card but Nanda held her hand, stopping her.

"Kya hum drinks banathe hue dekh sakthe hai?" Nanda asked him in Hindi while the guy's face bloomed with a big smile as he has no worries in now trying to speak in English.

"Zaroor Madam!" He said, with newfound excitement.

"Bas, aap aapka order boliye na! Aap Drinks ke paas jaiye aur hum aapka order ready karwake aayenge!" He said in full swing making  Nanda and Aadya chuckle.

"Theek hai! Order please!" Nanda said looking at her friends who are exchanging confused looks at each other.

"What are you doing?" Riya asked with her brows squeezed together.

"I'll tell you, you people give him the order!" Nanda asked them to order what they want and they did.

When he asked what about the Mocktails, Nanda looked into the Menu and Chose herself a Virgin Mojito and for Meera, she chose Fruit Punch and when she asked the remainings people what they want, Aadya denied. Sahitya is not in the mood and Riya asked her to chose whatever she wants, which helped Nanda in choosing the new one they haven't heard the name yet, which is Mickey Mouse, yes it's a Mocktail.

"Come Madam!" He asked Nanda to follow him, who accompanied Riya with her into the Mocktails Section. 

"Madam!" The guy took them towards a middle-aged woman,  clad in a Jeans and Decent Kurti. He talked to her in Konkani, after which she smiled at them.

"Hi! I'm Jenny! I'm the Manager here!" She said, forwarding her hand while Nanda took it smiling at her.

"I'm Alakanada and this is my friend, Riya!" Nanda said, introducing herself and Riya, who forwarded her hand for a handshake while the lady acknowledged it gladly.

"You sure can see it!" She said, gesturing them towards the mocktails section. Nanda thanked her and walked behind the guy who's been leading them. 

"So, you know what our order is, Bhaiya?" Nanda asked in Hindi while the guys nodded his head mouth a Yes Madam. 

"So, shall we start?" Nanda asked excited while he whispered another yes. 

"First we are gonna make Virgin Mojito, Madam!" He said while looking at her in between adding the crushed ice in the glass. 

A few minutes later, the guy was ready with their two mocktails and Nanda who got so fascinated with the name of the cocktail, Mickey Mouse, is wanted to prepare it on her own and when she asked him, he agreed to instruct her what to do. 

"Take Glass!" He said while pointing towards the set of glasses. Nanda took one in hand and kept staring at the who's searching for something and when h found it, he handed a spatial type of thing to Nanda asked to take some ice cubes from the thermal coal box and pour them into the glass. Nanda did as he said. 

"Now, add this lemon juice into it!" He said while pointing to a glass bottle of lemon juice. 

"Fill the glass?" Nanda asked while the guy chuckled at her. 

Shooking his head, he said no. "Just a little bit!" Nanda pour a little amount of lemon juice into the glass filled ice cubes in the meanwhile he took the strawberry ice cream into a cup.

"Now, take this!" He handed Nanda a small bottle of Coke. "Pour It!" He asked her to put down the coke into the glass while Nanda being Nana, added just a little bit of it as she did the lemon juice. 

The guy laughed at her and asked her to pout it to 3/4th to glass and Nanda filled it. Now, he handed the ice cream cup to her and ask her empty it into the glass which she did at last and her mocktails are ready. 

Alakananda cheered for herself and looked for her friend, who smiled at her peeking from her mobile, in which she's been shooting a video of Nanda.

"So, our mocktails are ready!" Nanda exclaimed showing her the mocktails before thanking the guy who helped her all the while. 

Moving ahead with the tray of drinks in her hand, she thanked the Manager and moved to their table, where her girls are chilling while taking the first bite of their sandwich. 

"Hello, Madam! These are your mocktails.! She said, now placing the tray in front of them who are shooting their head at Nanda's craziness. 

Hey, let me try this!" She took the Mickey Mouse for herself and sipped it as the noon sun is radiating ist heat at the people. 

"Mmmm..." She moaned as the cool drink passed through her throat. 

"It's nice!" She aid, passing it to Riya, who spilled out, after taking the first sip resulting in Nanda laugh out loud. 

"Isn't it nice?" Meera asked Riya whos drinking water from the bottle, snatching from Sahitya. 

"Well, it's a weird taste!" Nanda said shrugging her shoulders at them after her laugh pulled at a station. 

"Devil!" Riya muttered under her breath while Nanda who heard that, cleared her throat while taking a seat beside her. 

"Did you say something?" She asked feigning innocence which all of them know that it's nothing but a trap. 

"Yeah! I said I've enjoyed it a lot today!" Riya replied, reminiscing their day, with a smile playing on her lips. 

"Cause, you know who planned it!" Alakananda praised herself, raising her imaginary collars. 

Riya smiled, thanking her stars, for giving her best friend in the world, to them.
