"Hold my hand, just don't leave it." Raman said holding Ishita's hand as they did the task of crossing the lake by walking over a log. Every now and then, one would almost fall in the lake but somehow manage to balance themselves.

Every student till now had fallen into the lake. The one who would win will get a certificate of 'Friend Of Adventure'.

Ishita almost tripped but Raman held her and together they crossed the lake. Once they were on the land, they started screaming and jumping. They hugged each other while screaming.

The others howled and clapped. Ishita and Raman HiFied.

"I think we make a good company," Raman suggested.

"Of Course, we do!" Ishita exclaimed.

"Great!" The instructor clapped and they were granted their certificate and medal.

Next, they were going to do walking on the edge of the cliff without falling. This one was the most dangerous one even thought they were tied by their waist with a rope.

A/N: All the adventures in this trip were in my School trip too and while doing this one, the rope around my waist was loosened because of my excitement. I realized that when I was about to trip. Thankfully, I didn't slip even though I was scared to death. Thank god! I didn't panic. If I would have slipped then you all wouldn't have seen me ever😂.

Ishita and Raman walked by the side of the cliff. Raman kept his eyes on Ishita even though he had height phobia. He was more scared about Ishita, thinking what would happen if she slips.

As if that was his prayer. Ishita slipped and the rope around her stretched and got torn.

Ishita held on the edge of the cliff to prevent herself from falling. It took a minute for everyone to realise Ishita was hanging down.

Raman immediately bent and held Ishita's hands to prevent her from falling off.

"Raman! Raman, don't leave my hand!" Ishita cried.

"Ssh! I'm helping. Don't look down. Just look at me and try to climb up." Raman shouted to her.

They both panicked and Ishita almost started crying as their hands started slipping from each other. Raman grabbed her wrists tightly and tried to help.

"Ishita!" The instructor came running towards them with the helpers.

"Don't leave his hand. We're just helping you. Don't look down." The instructor instructed loudly.

"Raman! Raman. My hand is slipping. I'm not able to hold any longer." Tears slipped down her eyes.

"Don't loose hope." Instructor yelled as the helpers climbed down the cliff with rope tightly held in their hands. They wrapped their hands around her and after much efforts climbed up. Even thought helps were there, Raman didn't leave her hand.

As soon as Ishita was standing in front of him, with her whole body shivering with fear, he pulled her into a tight embrace. Ishita cried into his chest while he rubbed her back.

The whole class embraced Ishita. The trip for that day was called off due to the incident and everyone went back to their tent.

*******

The trip flew by quickly. Ishita and Raman did everything together. Raman was now very protective towards Ishita. He wouldn't let her do anything dangerous. Nonetheless, the trip brought them a bit closer.

"Bye Bye Forest!" Ishita yelled as the driver loaded their luggage over the top of the bus.

"Ugh! School starts from Monday. God! I don't want to go to school!" Ishita groans as she sits on the window seat beside Raman. This time they didn't have any arguments for the window seat.

"Thankfully, the trip ended. At least our truce also ended. Now we can go back to our ride, fighter selves. I don't have to handle you anymore." Raman said with a huge sigh of relief.

"Very funny!" Ishita says sarcastically.

"No seriously. This trip made me know that you are like a baby who has to be taken care off." Raman teased.

"I hate you!" Ishita said looking out of the window to hide her embarrassment.

Ishita fell asleep soon but after the trip they had become comfortable much so she didn't hesitate to keep her head on his shoulder. He too wrapped his arm around her.

"Hey, love birds!" Romi chirped.

"Ssh!" Raman shushed him an pointed towards Ishita.

"You have to admit it, you've changed a lot since Ishita came in your life." Romi whispers.

"No. I have not. We kept a truce that's the reason we didn't fight throughout the trip." Raman defends himself even though he knew Romi was right somewhere.

"Whatever makes you sleep at night." Romi says rolling his eyes and walking to his seat.

Raman looks at Ishita who was snuggled into him and unconsciously smiles. Raman smiles too.

The class starts playing songs and Raman laughs at their weird dance steps. Ishita wakes up once the 'Raat Kamaal Hai' song plays.

[ Raat Kamaal hai...
Tu mere naal hai.
Lakh tera hile jeeve
Aaya boochal hai]×2

She immediately joins the dancers and starts dancing along making Raman shake his head at her.

[Aww...Hai jeene ki tamanna
Hai peene ka iraada
Tu karle mujhse vaada
Oh soniye peg karenge aadha aadha...
Na kam na zyaada tu karle mujhse vaada]

Ishita starts dancing and jumps up and down with the others while Raman watches her with amusement.

🎵[ Raat Kamaal hai...
Tu mere naal hai.
Lakh tera hile jeeve
Aaya boochal hai]🎵

Ishita's gaze meets his and she grins and starts walking towards him.

🎵[Aww...Hai jeene ki tamanna
Hai peene ka iraada
Tu karle mujhse vaada
Oh soniye peg karenge aadha aadha...
Na kam na zyaada tu karle mujhse vaada..oo soniye]🎵

Ishita pulls and starts dancing with him.

🎵[Tere mere pyaar ki kahaani fit ho gayi]🎵

She playfully points towards them.

🎵[Jaise Bollywood mai koi movie hit ho gayi
Mai tere love mai
Tu mere love mai
Raja mera tu
Mai Teri Raani ho gayi]🎵

They laugh and dance together while watching Mihir and Romi dancing like girls and doing Ramp walks.

*****

"Meet you on Monday." Ishita waves towards her friend circle and walks towards her Appa.

"Appa!" Ishita runs towards him and hugs him tightly making Mr. Iyer laugh.

She kisses his cheek and holds her arms wide open like a kid and shouts,"I missed you!".

"I missed you too." Mr. Iyer hugs her again.

They start walking out while Ishita tells him about the trip.

"I didn't know you were a Daddy's Princess." Someone whispers in her ear making Ishita jump up.

Raman laughs while Mr. Bhalla shakes hand with Mr. Iyer and start talking about business and everything.

"Aren't you?" Ishita asks frowning while their parents were doing whatever the fathers do when they meet someone's father at school.

"Neh! I'm Daddy's handsome rockstar!" Raman says and puts on his sunglasses and smirk.

"Are you a fool? Who puts sunglasses in the evening? Keep it back Raman!" Mr. Bhalla scolds Raman making him pout and take off his glasses.

Ishita laughs.

"Aww, what happened rockstar?" Ishita teases.

"Papa! Let's go." Raman pulls away his father and gives Ishita a glare before leaving.

Ishita's phone rings and she looks down at her phone.
