Chapter 28
The group entered the bus. The two non-single girls sat with their respective boyfriends. Avu took a window seat first and Sid quickly sat beside her. AshDeep and AnuRaj sat at the last big seat on the bus, there was still a seat left with them, so Reem joined the four of them. Jai wanted to avoid her so he sat on the front seats with Preeti. Faiz and Jaan sat together being the besties and Pandit sat alone. They started their journey towards the place where they were going to river raft. The journey was going to be an hour long and it was morning time so many of them were asleep. AbhiNavi slept while almost hugging each other cutely. The moment Preeti noticed Jai was asleep she got up from her seat and sat beside Pandit to have fun with him.
Avu was trying hard to not to sleep.
Avu: Sid, please make sure I don't sleep.
Sid tapped on his shoulder and said: Avu tum yaha sar rakh ke so jao koi problem nhi hai.
Avu chuckled at his cuteness and replied: Baat yeh nhi hai ki mai kaha soungi. Problem yeh hai ki abhi so gayi toh raat ko so nahi paungi. And mai achhi sceneries bhi miss nhi krna chahti.
Both of them looked out of the window together.
Meanwhile AshDeep, AnuRaj and Reem were chattering nonstop.
Reem: Mai exam mein paper likh rhi thi aur ma'am mere paper mein dekhti hi ja rhi hai. Mai kaise likhu phir.
Raj: Woh ma'am mere bhi peechhe hi padi rehti hai exams mein. Unko lagta h woh nazar hatayegi aur mai cheat kar lunga.
Deep: Toh galat kaha lagta hai. Tumlog kitni cheating krte ho.
Ashi was giggling hearing their conversation.
Anu: Tu toh aise bol rha hai jaise tu bada sadhu hai.
Ashi: Tumlog sab k sab kitni cheating krte ho!? Tum logo ko time kaise hota hai cheating ke liye?!
Anu: Tu is field k baare mein kuch nhi janti isiliye tujhe aisa lag rha hai. Raj aur Faiz ne toh pura ka pura paper exchange kr liya tha exam ke time.
Raj: Faiz ko padhne ke liye time nhi milta.
Ashi: Hahaha aur sab cheezon ke liye time hai bas padhne ke liye time nhi hai. Tum sab bigde hue ho.
The four them giggled at Ashi's statement.
Deep: Aayu ki bhi exam chal rahi hai bhulo mat.
Ashi: Woh tum logo ki tarah bigda hua nhi hai.
Deep giggled and replied: Jo tum sahi samjho.
The bus reached the destination and all of them came out of the bus. Reem and Jaan were the first ones to run towards the river side and the rest of them followed the two girls but all were stopped by some life savers.
Life savers: You are requested to not go far. Waha pe bohot sari boats hai and sab rafting kr rhi hai toh safely jaye.
All of them nodded at the instructions.
Vaish: Par hum kinare tak toh ja sakte hai na?
Life savers: Ha.
The group walked nearer towards the river.
Avu: Sid tum meri photo loge?
Sid: Ofcourse. Mai toh waise bhi puri trip ke liye reserved hoon.
Avu forwarded her phone towards him but he shook his head and took out his phone from his pocket and signalled towards it. He clicked pictures of her in his phone.
Sid: Tumhare cameraman ki fees samajh lo yeh pictures.
Avu smiled hearing those cheesy lines.
All of them went for river rafting in groups of 8. An hour or two flew by really fast, 20% in river rafting and 80% in playing and clicking pictures. Then they again settled in the bus and the bus headed to Ghum Monastery. They reached the monastery in 15-20 minutes. All of them got out of the bus. Then they all started exploring the place.
Munna: Pehle hum sab temple mein jayenge.
The rest of them said together: Aye aye captain!
They entered the temple and kneeled while joining their hands to pray infront of Buddha. They closed their eyes and started praying. All of them had their wishes too.
Ashi wished to god: Aayu ka khayal rakhna, Bhagwan ji!
Jai wished for: Mere aur Reem ke beech mein jo bhi hua woh aap sambhal lena.
Jai and Reen wished for the same thing for obvious reasons.
Sid wished: Mai Avu ko bohot like krta hoon. Toh aap usko khush rakhna. Uske face se kabhi woh smile mat hatne dena.
Pandit wished: Is Jai ka kuch kro na bhagwaan ji. Iske hote hue mai meri padosi se dhang se baat bhi nhi kr sakta.
The other's wishes were mostly about themselves and their families and their loved ones. Then they stood up again and went to the other places in the monastery.
______________________________
After they left the monastery, they had lunch in a restaurant and then all of them went in their own directions. It was decided beforehand that this afternoon and evening will be like a solo trip. The actual reason for the solo time was for watching a movie, but it changed. None of them watched a movie.
Abhi unexpectedly went back to his room. He took his diary and a pen from his bag and left the room again. He climbed the stairs of the resort and went up to the terrace. He found a empty bench there. He sat on the bench, looked up towards the sky and admired the scenery. He then opened his diary and started writing his feelings down, about the trip, about his friends and about his love.
Ashi was in the resort's garden taking a walk while listening music. She coincidentally met Deep there, who was doing the same thing. Both of them chuckled looking at each other. She removed one of the ear phone from her ear and said while smiling
Ashi : Pretend like we're strangers.
Deep: Ok Ms. Stranger.
Both of them walked side by side silently. The silence was filled with comfort and budding love.
Avu went to an orphanage as she wanted to play with kids. She saw Sid there who was playing 'stone paper scissors' with a kid. Their meeting was purely coincidental. When Sid saw Avu he felt butterflies in his stomach indicating his love.
Sid: Tum yaha?
Avu: Mai tumhara peechha nhi kr rhi hoon.
Sid: Mujhe pata hai.
Sid was sad in the morning about the solo movie plan but it turned out good and he was happy. After playing with the kids for sometime, a kid randomly approached Avu and handed her a red rose. She smiled at him adoringly.
Kid: Didi aap bohot sundar ho.
Avu: Thank you. Par yeh rose kaha se leke aaye?
Kid: Woh bhaiya ne diya.
The kid pointed at Sid who was looking at Avu, but when she looked at him he immediately turned his gaze somewhere else. Avu just smiled at his cute act.
Sid in his mind: Maine mana kiya tha us bache ko mera naam lene se.
Raj went to a hill like area. That place had more crowd than he expected. He sat on bench and took out his phone from his pocket. He started clicking pictures of the scenery when a girl sat beside him.
Girl: Hey handsome.
He placed his phone down and looked at her. She was a foreigner.
Raj: Hey. Are you alone?
Girl: Why do you ask?
He shrugged, he didn't have any reason.
Girl: I'm on a solo trip. I'm from Canada.
Raj: I'm on a solo trip only for this evening.
Girl: Sounds interesting.
The girl received a call, she didn't even bother to get up and talk in private.
Girl angrily while on her phone: I don't want to talk to you. Go back to your chick. We don't even love each other.
She hung the call angrily.
Girl to Raj: Can I vent?
Raj: Sure.
She talked about her problems with him comfortably. The strangers formed a little friendship in an hour or two.
Girl: I want someone who can understand me. I'm sick of these fake guys.
Her story sounded similar to his. He's sick of the fake people too.
Raj: I guess we're in similar situations.
Girl: Do you have someone who understands you?
Raj: Yes. But she's my best friend... She's too nice. I don't even deserve her friendship.
The girl just sighed, as she didn't know what to say.
Girl: I'm glad you cherish your friendship.
After a moment of silence the girl said: Do you want to have ice-cream?
He nodded. Both of them had ice-cream together and then left for their separate ways.
That's it for today.
