Misha's POV:

"Are you people done with your packing?" Dad asked when everyone got settled for having their dinner.

It has been a week since Varun apologized and told me to stay away not like I have considered his statement seriously because after he said sorry, I fell more for him. He prefers to stay away from everyone, especially me. I'm non existent to him however for me, he has became more than existent, even more special than what he was before. I leave no chance to go in front of him, also he has stopped saying me to stay away from Isha, so I get so many chances of going to his room however there's still no positive response from him.

Today morning Dad suggested to have a family trip to the place where he was born, his native place and like an excited puppy I was the first one to agree with him because I love villages. My mom and dad both are born and raised in the city, so as a child I never had fun of going to village, staying there and enjoying their life style however when I grew up, I had many trips to different villages and I learnt both joy and sorrows of staying there. Janvi did break my excitement saying that the place is not what I'm expecting and it's developed now, only a quarter of that place can be termed as a village, lucky enough that I didn't lose my full excitement.

"I already said I'm not coming." Varun stated.

"He is such a spoiler of my every plan." Dad complained. 

"I have work. I can't come." he stated again for which dad suggested that he will talk with Aarav but Varun clearly dismissed that suggestion. I already talked with Aarav and he said that there's not much work in the office and that Varun is lying. Sometimes I don't understand how is he going to heal his pain if he stays away from his own family? All he wants to do is indulge himself in work, it's like he doesn't want to have any fun again.

"Do you want your Dadi to call you?" Dad asked. It was the last option to make him agree after all he is so obedient to his Dadi.

"Fine. I will come but only for two days, don't extend the plan after that and Parth will come with us." He demanded and dad agreed happily.

"You are very excited, aren't you?" Dad asked me as he saw me smiling.

"Yeah. I love visiting new places." 

"Someone used to be same like you. Everything is changed now." He said referring to Varun and I guess even he came to know that it was directed towards him because he looked at dad, shook his head and then continued,

"My life is not the same as it was before, right dad?" he asked and left the table before anyone could say anything.

Next day,

I was so ready for the trip that I was done with my packing since yesterday. I asked Janvi about the different attractions their village has and came to know that it has a beach, a very attractive forest and a temple so I packed my clothes according to the places we were going to visit.

Soon I got ready and went to knock on Varun's door. Getting Isha ready is most of the times my responsibility now, however sometimes Varun does it himself. I waited for him to open the door but there was no response, so I knocked again and this time he opened it. 

"Is Isha ready?" I asked. Greeting him good morning was of no use because I will only get a nod in return or sometimes not even that.

"Almost." He said and gestured towards his bed where Isha was sitting wearing one sock.

"Ok. Should I take her down?" I asked as he nodded. I went inside and made her wear another sock followed by her shoes and then took her down with me. As I went down stairs I saw Mom and Janvi taking bags outside whereas Dad was loading them in the car, I don't know when Parth arrive but he was also helping him.

Varun came out of the house only when all the bags were loaded in the cars. Dad gave him instructions to drive safely and sat inside in car going ahead of us. It was me, varun, parth, Janvi and Isha in one car. I was going to sit on the back seat but Parth didn't let that happen. So varun was driving and I was on the passenger seat with Isha on my lap. She looked more happy than anyone of us.

It was a silent ride, only for Varun though because he was not speaking anything. He spoke only when Janvi or parth asked him something and on the other hand, I was really enjoying their company when Janvi screamed out of nowhere and Varun immediately stopped the car.

"Bhabhi, your friend." 

I looked out and saw Karthik standing on the side of the road.

"Ok." I replied.

"What ok? Aren't you going to meet him? When you saw him two days ago you literally made me stop the car, then why not now?" 

"That's because I saw him after a long time." I replied and was about to tell Varun to start the car but was stopped by Parth when he suggested me to go and meet him. Ok, who doesn't love to meet their best friends. I handed Isha to Janvi and went to meet my idiot best friend.

Varun's POV:

"Why are you angry?" Parth asked breaking the silence. Misha was out meeting her friend, whereas we were inside the car waiting for her to return.

"I'm not. Why would I be angry?" I questioned.

"Why are your eyebrows furrowed then? Is it because Misha hugged her friend?" He questioned further making me angry and I heard janvi laughing.

"Listen man, I don't care. I didn't even saw what she did or did not, so you better stop." 

"Ok. I was just asking. Why are you getting angry?" he questioned again. I'm not angry, why does everyone think that I'm angry always?

Soon Misha came back and I started to drive. After a long journey of almost five hours we reached our destination. As expected Dadi was waiting for us at the doorstep, looking so happy. She immediately came and hugged me.

"I missed you so much." I said to her. She was like my best friend since childhood, she supported me in everything I did. Even when I was at fault she always stopped Dad from scolding me, it was so good to have her in our home but nowadays she prefers staying here in this village with her other two sons means my uncles and their families.

"You all go and rest, by evening we will visit the temple." Dadi said as everyone looked so tired. Isha was already sleeping, whereas Misha was struggling to get her hair out of Isha's hand. Parth and Janvi were trying to help. I don't know why but it was so funny to watch.

"Stop laughing. Go and help her." Dadi said. I went towards them and pressed Isha's arm lightly, as expected she immediately opened her palm.

"Finally." Janvi said. I took Isha with me and told everyone to go and rest. Misha's face clearly said that why I didn't suggested this idea before but not like she was not going to tell me anything.

Misha's POV:

"Am I looking good?" I asked Janvi as she was the one who was helping me to get ready. I wanted to rest but was not able to because of the constant questions asked by all the family members. It was my first visit here and they were so intended to make it a special one. We decided to visit temple today and so I wore a saree, also Varun's aunt told me to wear it. I didn't choose any heavy work saree because already I find it difficult to carry, it was light weight and with minimal work, also it was blue my favorite color, so I was very much excited to wear it.

"You always look good my dear bhabhi." Janvi said pulling my cheeks.

"Stop calling me that." I whined.

"Haha...I can't call you by your name, mom and dad will scold me." She said making me laugh.

"Now let's go." She said and took me downstairs with her. As soon as my eyes fell on Varun, a smile formed on my because. He was wearing a round neck blue t-shirt. Matching.

"Did you both decide it?" Janvi asked.

"Do you think your brother will do that?" I asked and this time she laughed. As we went to the place where everyone was sitting, they all started teasing us. Wearing the same was a coincidence and I definitely liked it. However it was only me who was Blushing, Varun had no reaction.

"You are looking more and more beautiful with every passing day." Dadi said looking at me.

"Of course. Women glow differently when they are treated well." Janvi said and Varun immediately left the house. Ahh, can't he see me happy for two seconds? Why did he leave?

"Thanks dadi." I said and then we all left the house. The temple was 40 minutes away from the home and so we decided to go by our respective vehicles. Varun was standing outside his car and even I was going to go there but his other cousins took me with them. It was the ride for barely 40 minutes and I still missed him so much.

When the car stopped I was the first one to come out of it to look for Varun. A smile formed on my face as our eyes met but it soon turned into confusion when he looked behind him and then back at me. Was he trying to say something? I looked behind him and saw the stairs leading to the temple. Oh no. The temple had just too many steps, it made me wonder how am I going to reach there with this saree and heels. I looked back at Varun and saw him shook his head. He went ahead and I literally felt like crying. What am I going to do now? Janvi, where is she?

I looked at her and saw her happily clicking pictures. Why she didn't tell me about the stairs?

"Don't worry. I will help you." She said as she came and stood next to me.

"Ok." She said and then together we moved further. She was actually helping me walk properly, sometimes holding my hand for support. I came to know from her that the temple has total 103 stairs and when I looked back I found that we only climbed 30 till now. We both were happily climbing the rest of the stairs when Dadi called her and she had to leave me.

"It's ok. I guess I'm comfortable to walk now." I said and sent her.

"Ok, Walk slowly." she said and went. I looked at Varun and saw him few stairs away from me buying flowers. Hopeless person. I went ahead and was trying to walk slowly and properly but then I don't know what happened, I lost my balance and I realized that I was going to fall. My mind was very well prepared for that but nothing like that happened instead I felt someone holding me.

Slowly I opened my eyes and found my favorite pair of brown orbs looking at me. Varun! I have only one heart, how many times are you going to steal it?

"Can't you walk properly?" He asked however I was too busy admiring his features to reply him anything.
