Aarav's Pov:

Today is our last day here and tomorrow we will be going back but I don't want this visit to end. It feel like I just spent few hours here and now I want more.

"Stop dreaming and pack your bags." Ruan mocked at me but I ignored him. It was dinner time so I went to hall calling Aashna with me.

We got settled and started with our dinner. Everyone was silent because no one wants to leave this place so soon.

"I don't want to leave this place." Kriya whined and everyone agreed with her.

"I want to go back." Ruan stated and everyone gave him a suspicious look, instead of Kriya who was looking at him with full rage.

"Why?" I asked and before he could answer anything Kriya answered me.

"His new girlfriend is waiting for him." She said looking straight at Ruan.

"You are my only girlfriend." He said innocently.

"Stop lying." She snapped at him and that made everyone laugh. Well, it's mistake of Ruan. They both had a small fight this morning and since then Ruan kept on teasing her and I guess, he is trapped in his own game. Poor man! But why is my girlfriend so silent?

"What happened?" I asked.

"Even I don't want to leave so soon." She replied.

"Even I don't want to leave so soon." I replied.

"But is it the only reason or there's something more?" I asked her as I felt like she want to say something.

She raised her head and looked at me for few seconds and then again looked down at her plate.

"It hurts not to visit a place which you always wanted to visit." She replied and I felt like she gave me a puzzle to solve. Which place she wants to visit?

"Do you want to visit any place here?" I asked and she replied with no.

"Then?" I asked her to continue. I was getting so desperate to know the place. Once I come to know it, I promise I will take her there.

"Golden temple." She said and Ruan let out a laugh. I can't take her to a temple!

" Don't worry girl, your boyfriend is here. He will take you." Ruan said patting my shoulder. I can't! I knew that Ruan has done this on a purpose he know very well that I don't visit temples.

"Seriously? Will you take me there?" Aashna asked me and there was complete hope in her eyes. Man, how will I say no to her?

"Of course. You know, he can do anything." Ruan replied her. Why is he not letting me say anything? Well, I should not give her false hopes and should control the situation before this idiot add something more to it. I was going to say no to her but was stopped when she started pleading me.

"Aarav, will you take me there?" She asked and still I gathered courage to refuse it but failed.

"Please please please please." She pleaded again and I was not able to say no. How will I refuse her request, when it is the first time she is asking something from me?

"Okay, we will go tomorrow." I said and happiness instantly took over her face.

"Thank you so much." She said squeezing my hands, by now I have came to know that it is her habit, when she gets happy.

But now the question is, how I'm supposed to take her?

After the dinner, we talked for a little while and went to our bedrooms as they were sleepy and I guess I'm the only one who is not sleepy here. I'm tensed, In fact very much tensed! What if I won't be able to full fill her wish?

"Aren't you going to sleep?" Ruan asked teasing me. He know why I'm still awake and yet he is testing my patience, he is the only reason why I'm in this situation now. I glared at him to keep his mouth shut but that only made him to come and sit beside me.

There was no reason to fight with him, so I didn't said anything but I also knew that he is the only person who can help me now.

"Help me out man." I said to him.

"Come on Aarav, it's not a big deal for you. I mean, I don't think so you will mind talking with our principal." He said again in the mood of teasing me.

"Go and sleep." I ordered him.

"Okay chill. Let me think." He replied.

"Talk with uncle, I mean your dad. He will surely help you." He suggested but that was next to impossible.

"Firstly, dad will never believe that I want to visit a temple and even if he believes that, the first question he will ask me, who is the girl, Aarav?" I replied and he started laughing.

"Then there's only one person who can help you." He said and even I came to know who the person is!

"Neha ma'am." We both said together.

"Yes, she will definitely help me." I said happily.

"Thanks man." I said to Ruan and took out my phone to talk with ma'am. It was late so instead of calling I texted her and waited for her reply, even Ruan was waiting with me. Every time my phone beeped I hoped to see a message from our ma'am, but she was not replying. After sometime, the phone beeped again and there was a message for which I, sorry, we both were waiting for too long.

"Are you drunk my boy?" Her message said.

"Now, you and I both know, that I never drink." I replied.

"Of course you don't." She replied back. After that I asked her if I can call her now and when she replied with yes, I immediately called her and started requesting but she was not ready to listen. Well, I agree it was out of rules but now I can't do anything, I already said yes to Aashna.

"Ma'am please." I requested again and this time she asked me, how will I go there? I explained her everything and she got ready to leave us.

"Thank you so much ma'am. You are the best." I literally screamed on phone.

I was so happy that I can finally give her something, which she asked from me for the first time.

"Are you seriously going to a temple?" Ruan asked narrowing his eyes. Okay, the another problem is here!

"I don't know. What I will do now and how will I explain it to her?" I asked him and he told that I should say it to her directly and even she will understand me. Well, in that case.. I hope she understands.

I texted her to meet me at 8 o'clock in the morning. Luckily our train is in the night, I got enough time to go and come back. But the only thing is, no one should know about it.

The next morning, as decided I got ready and went out of the room.

"Enjoy and take care." Ruan screamed and I waved at him.

There were still 10 minutes left for 8, so I decided to take a small walk. While doing so I realized that Aashna was already waiting for me. She was wearing a purple salwar suit, which caught me off guard. Pretty is a very small word to describe her right now! And I even saw a group of boys drooling at her and this girl was busy in her own world. Damn!

I went towards her and without any warning, I dragged her outside the hotel. She didn't speak anything but her eyes, which were looking at me, already said everything.

"You are such a angry bird Aarav." She spoke after sometime and a smile crossed my face. I don't know why but I love when she calls me that.

We took a cab for Amritsar and it was the travel of full 8 hours. The time went by chatting and Aashna kept on asking me did we reached or not.

"Why are you so excited?" I finally asked her. I mean I have never seen anyone being so excited to visit a temple.

"I don't know. But I love this place a lot and It was like a dream for me to visit there and see we are finally going there." She said happily.

"Do you believe in god?" I asked and she gave a suspicious look to me.

"Don't you?" She asked back narrowing her eyes. I guess I should tell her everything. I was about to say but then my phone ranged and it was Aananya. Wrong timing. I received it and she started with her chanting of the things she told me to bring.

"I have already purchased everything. So please calm down." I said. After that I talked with her for sometime and was about to hung the phone but Aashna insisted that even she wants to talk with her.

"Okay, listen. Aashna wants to talk with you." I told her.

"OH, she is also with you? Give her the phone, I would love to talk with my sister-in-law." She said and I immediately handed the phone to Aashna.

"Why are you blushing?" Aashna asked me before answering the phone.

"Nothing." I replied and gestured her to talk with Aananya.

I wished that there talk ends soon so that I can tell Aashna everything but no, they both were so busy talking with each other.

After half hour she finally handed me my phone. And by now we also reached our destination. We made our way directly towards the golden temple. I was thinking on what should I do now whereas Aashna was jumping in excitement.

"Let's go." She said happily.

"I can't." I replied and she immediately stopped.

"What?" She questioned.

"I can't come." I said.

"Why?" She asked back. I should say it now!

"I'm sorry but I don't believe in god and I never visit temples." I said and her eyes widen.

"You don't believe in god? Why?" She asked.

"Why you believe in god?" I asked her but she didn't answered me for few seconds.

"What is so 'why' about it? Everyone believes in God and he is the one why we all are here. He is the one who is always with us in our good and bad times." She explained.

"I still don't believe. You might had good experience because of God, but I don't." I said.

"Come on Aarav, don't act stupid. You are standing outside a temple and now you are saying that you won't come in? Not happening. You are going to come with me." She said stubbornly.

"Please try to understand Aashna." I requested her.

"No, you try to understand me. Please Aarav." She pleaded. And again the same thing happened, why can't I say no to her.

"Okay." I said and she smiled.

After that she took my hand and dragged me inside the temple.

The temple was beautiful and pleasant. She worshipped god and even wished something.

"What did you wished?" She asked me when we both came out.

"Nothing." I replied and she rolled her eyes.

"What did you wish?" I asked her.

" Don't you know that we should never tell the wish to anyone." She replied smiling at me.

"Cheater." I said and she laughed.

We clicked some pictures there and then took a cab again to go back.

"Aarav?" She called and I looked at her to continue.

"Thank you so much." She said and I smiled at her. I was happy that she is happy because of me. I love her and will do anything to make her happy.

It was already evening and all we have to do is wait for others to come. We were supposed to take our train from Amritsar so I decided to wait here only till everyone comes. I informed Neha ma'am that we are on the station. I even called Ruan to tell him to bring my bags. We both got settled on a chair nearby till the others come.
