They reached near the field site which is near forest and they were alloted rooms to fresh up and return soon.

Anika, Richa, Bhavya and Gauri are sharing a room on girls side where as Omkara and Mukesh are in a room on boys side.

Soon the girls and boys reached the camp site after freshing up.

"Students, as it is the first day of our camp, I need you guys to get to know about the surroundings and talk with the tribal people. And tomorrow you will be going in to the forest to know better about the nature and surroundings which you can use to draw your paintings.Later when we reach college I need you guys to write and submit an assignment on the tribals and forest. So students go seek your inspiration from the forest and be here by the sunset." Said the Principal.

The girl gang along with Omkara and Mukesh formed as a team and began to study about the surroundings and forest. They spoke with some tribals and got to know about the forest and it's surroundings.

Later in the evening they came to camp site and went to a local exhibition were all the Forest products and handicrafts made by the tribals are displayed.

"Wow... Look at that shawl that is looking very nice. They really are talented to make such intricate designs with wood. " The girls can't help but appreciate the handicrafts made by tribals.

Girls busy shopping the handicrafts and forest products where as Om and Mukesh are looking the handicrafts on the other side.

"Finally, we completed our shopping. " Said the girls carrying their shopping bags.

"Guys, I am tired with all these shopping. " Said Anika sitting on near by rock.

"Yes, same here my legs are paining. " Said Bhavya taking seat beside Richa.

"I agree energy down, I can't walk carrying this luggages. " Said Richa placing the shopping bags on ground.

"O madam, If you can't walk as your boy friend Mukesh to carry you. Girls chalo we have to move. " Said Gauri.

"Yaar Gauri we can't walk carrying all these bags. " Said the girls in a tired tone.

"You guys should think about carrying this bags before shopping. Now if you say we can't walk carrying this luggages who will carry all these your grandma. " Said Gauri in a annoyed tone.

"Don't know about grandma but one annoyed woman will carry them. " Said Richa standing on her feet.

"What does that mean? " Gauri asked looking suspiciously at girls.

The girls looked at each other and then said

"It means you are going to carry all our bags back to our room. " Said the girls in unison and ran away leaving Gauri cursing them at their back.

"Idiots... Donkeys... Arghhh.... How am I gonna carry all these bags back to the room. " Gauri cursed annoyed lifting all the bags in her both hands and turned around and bumped into someone.

"Now what else was left to annoy me." Said Gauri lifting her head to see the person infront."

"Rii... It's me... " Said Om looking at her.

"Sorry Om, I didn't see you. " Said Gauri smiling at him.

"It's okay Rii... Shall I help you with your bags. " Said Om looking at her nervously.

"Ommm... Now tell me what you are trying hard to say. " Said Gauri calmly look at him.

Omkara looked at her surprised.

"Omkara...you know I can understand even your silence and I don't need words to know your feelings now. Now with that nervous look of yours I can say that you are here to say something to me. Say it soon I can't stand like this all the day carrying these bags. "

"Rii... I.. Urm..." Gauri nodded her to go ahead "Rii... I bought you a necklace from that handicraft shop." He said lifting his hand to show the necklace he brought for her. "I liked it very much and thought of gifting it to you. " He said looking everywhere but Gauri.

Gauri smiled and said "Om... It is very beautiful and I love it. You are sweet, I wish I can pull your cheeks but I can't with all these bags in my hand."

Omkara smiled looking at her and moved his palm having necklace in front of Gauri offering it to her.

"Om... My hands are full. I can't take it now." Said Gauri lifting her both hands up to show him the shopping bags.

Omkara's eyes reflected a shade of disappointment and Gauri was fast enough to catch it.

"Om... My hands are full but your's are free right. Why don't you make me wear by yourself. " Said Gauri.

Omkara was shy first but with the encouragement of Gauri, he moved closer to her and made her wear the necklace by shifting her hair to one side. Gauri was breathing heavy with his proximity and then he stepped back after hooking up the necklace.

"You both got married now?" asked a little kid who watched the whole scene.

Gauri bent a little in front of the kid and said, "No baby, we didn't got married now but in future if it happens I will invite you. "

Gauri said looking at Omkara who was like a tomato now.

The kid nodded her head and ran towards her mom's stall.

"Omkara... " Gauri called "can you help me with this luggages. " She said breaking the awkward silence.

Omkara nodded his head and tool the bags from Gauri and both walked towards the cottage where they are alloted rooms.

Gauri came to her room and saw Anika, Richa and Bhavya sleeping on the bed.

She kept the bags on her bed and came to them and began to beat them with a pillow cursing them.

"You idiots... You ditched me with that bags and sleeping here peacefully. " She shouted beating them.

"Rii... Rii... Sorry... " Said girls while dodging the pillow.

"I will never forgive you idiots... Don't even think I will fall for your puppy eyes. " Said Gauri sitting on the bed holding her hands across her chest.

"Rii... Sorry na baby... Please forgive us... " Apologized the girls holding their ears.

Gauri smiled at them and they hugged her.

"Maan na padega Rii...You carried all these bags all the way to our room. I think we can send you to weight lifting competition and you will surely win first prize." Said Bhavya and Gauri threw a pillow at her starting a pillow fight between the girls.

They had a pillow fight and finally they lay on the bed laughing hard.

"Accha Girls, let's open our shopping bags and see what all we bought. " Said Bhavya.

The girls opened their respective shopping bags and showed others what they bought.

"Gauri... Where did you bought that necklace you are wearing. It's beautiful. " Said Richa making the girls look towards the necklace Gauri was wearing.

"Yes, Gauri it's really beautiful... Where did you bought that. " Asked Anika.

"Omkara gifted me this. " Said Gauri with a twinkle in her eyes.

"Arrey waah... Omkara toh chupa rustam nikla. " Hooted Anika.

"Shut-up Anika, Poor guy was feeling all jittery to give me this necklace and I am glad at least he is trying to come out of the box." Said Gauri.

"But Gauri I must say my brother's selection is great, look at this necklace, it's so pretty. " Said Bhavya.

"Yes yaar, give it to me Gauri I will wear it once. " Said Richa.

"Oye... Go and ask that miser Mukesh to get you one. I am not going to give mine to anyone. " Said Gauri clutching her necklace close to her heart.

"So possessive ha... " The girls hooted starting another round of pillow fight.
