Avneet's POV

Hussshhh! I forgave him for one last time. I swear if he doesn't put up his shit together in the next few days, I will not give him another chance.

Umm.... actually I will.......

Why? Because... I love him. And no matter how many times we say we won't go back to them again, we end up doing the same thing. Cause that's what true love is all about. But for the present moment, I am stuck in this washroom and Rosh...I mean Surf, is standing outside.

"What are you doing here? Just go outside now!" I whispered to Sid who was staring at me while I was thinking about all this.

"What were you thinking?" He asked instead of going out.

Agghh! He asks too many questions.

"Okay! I know what you were thinking. And I swear I won't do anything bad this time" He said looking into my eyes. How does he read my thoughts all the time? I doubt he is an alien sometimes.

"Whatever! Now just go outside for the time being! Or else Surf might break the door. There's no telling what she can do..." I said acting serious.

So, without any word he left the washroom and quickly closed the door behind.

Now let's hear what they are talking about.

"Seriously Siddharth? How long were you planning to stay inside?" said Surf.

I barely controlled myself from screaming "his name is Jai!!"

"All my life" Sid aka Jai said under his breath.

No mann! Thats not how you whisper! I bet Surf heard it.

"All your life? Are you okay Sid?" She said as expected.

How many times do I have to tell her its "Jai"?

"I am alright Surf. Its just that I have a bad stomach due to all the junk food we ate in the way." Jai said. Wow! A nice excuse.

"Ohh! That's why it took you so long.... Come on now, come with me" She said.

Where is she taking my Sid? I mean Jai...
Oopsies sorry!

"I have a medicine box with me. Come let's get you medicines, so that you get better soon and you can enjoy our trip." She answered the question I wanted to ask.

"No Surf! I'll be alright. I just need a few hours rest. No need for the meds" Jai protested.

"First of all stop with the 'Surf' shit! I don't know why Jannat gave me that shitty name. And yeah, take rest if you want. But just be okay. Or else you'll have to take washroom visits every second minute and the trip will go waste." With this she left.

How do I know she left? Because I heard the door close. And yeah wait till Jannat hears about what Surf had to say about her chosen name......

As soon as she left, I rushed out of the washroom and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thank God she didn't come to know about you!" Jai said relieved. (Sid)

"Yeah Thank God. Cause if it was for you, everything would've been ruined" I said and stomped out of the room.

Evening

Siddharth's POV

We are standing here, at the exit of the hotel.

Why?

Because we are leaving for our farmhouse.

"Bhai, if we had to go to the farmhouse after a few hours, why did we book this hotel in the first place?" asked Bhavesh aka Satyam.

"I knew you guys would blast the same question! The reason is that the farmhouse was not cleaned and prepared for our stay. So I gave the caretaker some time to do all the stuff." Bhai explained.

"Ohho! The hotel was so beautiful...I had searched so many places to click pictures..all that is wasted now" Laxmi said sighing (Anushka)

"And the food....it was amazing here. I wonder what the caretaker must have made for dinner..." Saraswati said. (Ashnoor)

"Seriously? All you could think was pictures and food?" Pariksha Bhabhi said annoyed. (Vaishnavi)

"Bhabhi!! That's nothing in front of my pain! You know I saw a guy here in the lobby! And to be honest he was droolworthy...." Durga said frowning (Reem)

"Enough now! Let's go" Rosh said getting annoyed.

And thus, we all started moving towards our car. But from the corner of my eye, I saw Avu standing on the same spot as before. She looked completely flustered.
Then suddenly out of nowhere, she started running. When I turned to that direction I saw....

No! It can't be......

Avneet ran to him and he picked her in his arms and twirled her around, before engulfing her in a bone crushing hug.... Then she started squealing and by now everyone was gathered there. Grunting I too made my way there.

"Oh My God! Oh my God!! I can't believe you are here, Rishi!" Avneet squealed.

What is he, Harry Potter? That he can't be here cause he has to be in Hogwarts...

"Avneeetttt!! I've searched for you so long..... It just feels like a dream..." Rishab said visibly shocked.

Is she a horcrux, that you were searching for her since ages?

"Okay...calm down now! Atleast introduce him to us" Bhabhi said.

"Oh yeah! I totally forgot about that. So........This is Rishabh Malhotra, my college friend" Avneet said excitedly.

Introduce toh aise kar rahi hai jaise Siddharth Malhotra ho..

So one by one she introduced everyone to Rishabh and finally it was my turn.

"Hey Buddy! Long time no see" he said shaking my hand.

"Yeah...Same here bro!" I said faking a smile.

"Rishabh, why don't you join us? We are on our way to the farmhouse" Bhai offered and I mentally slapped myself.

"Umm...I.....Actually I dont want to interrupt your private space guys" he tried to refuse.

Yeah Man! That's the spirit!

"Risshhhi! Yaar please...what private space? You're my friend right? Please don't say no. We've met after almost eight years" insisted Avneet.

Ahh!

"Okay, now. If you insist" he accepted.

That bastard accepted! I knew it! The 'private space' and bla bla was just drama!

"Come on now! What are we waiting for then?" Reem said and we all sat in the car.

"Who is gonna drive?" asked Jannat.

"Siddharth obviously" said Faisal.

"What Siddharth? Am I driver, that I'll drive every time?" I said as I wanted to sit behind with everyone, so that I can keep an eye on both of them.

"Okay Relax! I'll drive then" said Rishabh.

And then we all took our positions but.....

Holy Shit!! Avneet was sitting on the passenger seat besides Rishabh....

"Avneet, come back here.." I quickly said to her.

"Why? You already know I love sitting on the passenger seat" she said and turned around happily.

Well Done Siddharth Nigam! Hats off to you! You, yourself gave them a chance to sit together....

And so, we made our way to the farmhouse but not without Avneet and Rishabh laughing and getting cozy and Reem drooling over Rishabh. Seriously?

After about 45 minutes of driving, we reached our farmhouse. As we all moved out of the car with our luggage, the caretaker Ramu Kaka, made his way towards us.

"Namaste Sid baba and Abhi baba, raat ke andhere mein!" He greeted us with a typical lantern in his hands and his old time lingo.

"Pari di, why the hell does he look like those caretakers in the movies who guard haunted houses." Anu whispered.

"And yeah look, he is carrying a lantern in this bright afternoon..." added Ash.

"And...may I know who these kids are? Raat ke andhere mein..." He asked eyeing the rest of us.

"This is Saraswati (Ash), Durga (Reem) , Laxmi (Anu)." I said pointing to the three of them.

"Ohhh....very traditional names. Namaste Saru Mata, Durga Mata and Laxmi Mata. Raat ke andhere mein..." He said bowing down to them as if bowing down to the Goddesses themselves.

Ohh typical old man!

"These three are Satyam (Bhavu), Shivam (Sumedh), Sundaram (Faisal)." I said introducing them.

"Ohh ho hoo! I am blessed! Raat ke andhere mein...." He said bowing down to them as well.

"And this is Rishabh, Agni (Avu), Pariksha (Vaishu)" I added.

"Waah! Even Sita Maa had to give agni pariksha!" He said wiping a tear.

"And this is-" before I could complete I couldn't suppress my laughter.

How do I tell them they are Surf and Excel?

"These two are Surf (Rosh), Excel (Janu)." I ended.

"Haii? Which surf? Tide, Rin, Ariel, Wheel, Vanish.....Raat ke andhere mein........" He asked completely confused.

"Umm...her name is Surf" Bhai said chuckling.

"Sid! Enough" Rosh said embarrassed.

"No worries. Some parents have a unique way of naming their kids. Don't be embarrassed beta. Raat ke andhere mein..." He said consoling her, which made her even more embarrassed.

"Okay, now let's go inside" Avneet said changing the subject.

We all went to our rooms and the pairs were the same as the hotel. After unpacking we gathered in the dining room to have dinner.

"You know I thought of something" said Janu while having dinner.

"Hm...what is it?" asked Faisal.

"Why don't we do a girls' night and boys' night respectively?" She suggested.

"What do you mean?" I asked confused.

"Like we can do a sleepover, with all of us in the same room?" She explained.

"Girls together in a room and boys in another" Anu said.

"Girls and boys together in a room would've been fun..." Reem said frowning.

"No!" All the guys shouted in unison.

"Okay!" Reem said giving up.

Just then, Ramu kaka arrived with the dishes and sighed in disappointment.

"Durga Mata, you shouldn't be talking while eating. Raat ke andhere mein..." he said strictly.

"But I was not the only one talking" she said pouting.

"Look how, Excel is quietly having dinner. Raat ke andhere mein..." he said looking at her proudly.

I chuckled knowing that she was the one to start the conversation.

As we all continued eating, suddenly the lights of the dining hall started flickering.

"What the hell?"asked Ash terrifed.

"This happens every night Saru Mata. Don't be afraid. Raat ke andhere mein....." said Ramu Kaka.

"Every night? Why don't you change the lights or call the electrician?" Bhai asked.

"Abhi Baba, this doesn't happen due to some technical fault. Raat ke andhere mein...." He cleared.

"Then what is the reason?" Bhabhi asked.

But Ramu Kaka didn't answer. He looked at her with a ghostly face for a nanosecond and turned back to the kitchen.

"He freaks me out!" Rosh whispered.

"Forget about it. Let's just finish this and get back to our rooms asap!" Ash said gobbling her food in a hurry.

*******

All of us men were in the room now.

Yeah, Rishabh too!

"So what's the plan boys?" Bhai asked excitedly.

"Let's partyy!" said Bhavesh.

"What exactly Bhavesh?" asked Rishabh.

"Let's drink and dance! What else?" He said furrowing his eyebrows.

"Shut up! We can't do that here!" Bhai said
and the rest of us nodded.

"Yeah Bhavesh! Abhi is right" agreed Faisal.

"Bhai! You should have directly said that you are scared of Vaishnavi Bhabhi!" Bhavesh said laughing.

"Stupid! It's nothing like that!" Bhai tried to defend.

"Yes Bhav! Dare you think about alcohol again" Sumedh warned.

"What else then?" Bhavesh groaned.

"Think of something decent" said Rishabh.

"Umm.....I got an idea!!" said Bhavesh mischievously.

"We are all ears!" we all said at once.

"So...................................." He explained everything and to be honest....

This is gonna be fun! I mentally smirked.

"Very decent Bhav!" smirked Rishabh.

Avneet's POV

After having dinner we ascended towards our room.

Ramu Kaka did a very good job in arranging the room with all the facilities.

"Oh my Godd!!" I am so excited!!!" screamed Anushka.

"Same here!" We joined in.

"So...what are we gonna do?" asked Rosh with excitement laced in her voice.

To be honest, seeing her excited and happy is very rare.

"Uhhh.....what can we do?" we all began thinking.

"Let's sing songs?" said Reem.

"No! That's too common" said Rosh.

"Then... let's plan for the wedding!" I said and everyone sighed disappointed.

"What? Did I say something bad?" I asked worried.

"No Di, but we came here to enjoy! Planning and all can be done later too" said Ashnoor.

"Then......what about clicking pictures?" suggested Anushka.

"No!" we said in unison.

As we were all indulged in thinking Vaishnavi Di looked at Janu and at the same moment Janu looked at her and their eyes sparked.

"Janu, are you thinking about the same thing as me?"Di asked mysteriously.

"I bet" she replied grinning.

"Wait...let us in on this" I said snd everyone nodded.

"So.............................................." They explained the plan in turns and at the end we were all hooting and clapping for them.

"So it's planned!" I said winking.
