They had a quick stop-over at their homes to pack a few things for the trip. Bapuji had suggested Anu accompanies Anuj instead of facing the tamaShah. Anuj had decided to make the trip for a couple of days instead of a single day journey as Anu would be with him too now.
"Thenk you Kanhaji, mere anuj ko bachaane ke liye", Anu prayed while lighting a lamp in her home temple.
She packed her bag and went to check on Anuj in his apartment.
He was almost ready barring trying to wear a shirt. The mini accident had bruised his right shoulder and he had difficulty in moving his hand.
She rushed to help him wear the shirt but seeing a big black-blue bruise, "baapre, itni badi chott aur aap keh rahe the kuch nahi hua."
Anuj - "sach keh raha tha Anu, itni bhi serious baat nahi hain jitna tum shock ho rahi ho."
She applies a medicine and helps him wear the shirt. She asks him if he would be able to travel.
Anuj, with a mischievous glint in his eyes, he touched her chin, " Mahotarma, jab humsafar itna khaas ho saath, toh safar mein takleef ki kya baat?"
Anu - "Bhappp"
While they boarded the car his partner friend had lent, Anu recalled their earlier convo in the car.
While coming back home, they had held hands but were separated by her handbag and a small distance.
When they were about to reach home, Anuj had matter of factly pointed, "Anu, woh khidki ke paas aur jagah hain, tum chaho toh aur duur baith sakti ho."
She couldn't help but smile at his sarcasm.
Coming back to present, she put her handbag and his laptop bag in front seat so there would be no distance in between them. Not even that of a bag. Anuj noticed this and raised his brow looking at her with a thumbs up gesture.
Soon they were on their way to Udaipur.
As they sat near each other, Anu slipped her hand in Anuj's hand.
After a while, Anuj - "Achha suno, jo meeting aaj honewali thi, woh kal subah postpone ho gayi hain."
Anu looking up, "toh hum aaj kyu jaa rahe hain? Kinjal ko kaun sambhalega phir? Wapas chalte hain."
Before he could reply, her phone rang, it was a video call from Kinjal.
Kinjal - "Mumma have a great trip with Anuj."
Anuj smiled but Anu was worried, " Kinjal hum thodi der mein ghar pahoch jayenge."
Before she could continue, Kinju says, " mujhe pata tha aap mere liye wapas aane ki zid karengi, issliye maine hi Anuj ko mana kiya tha aapko batane ke liye.. yaha toh wapas aana hi hain aapne, but filhal 2 din break lijiye. Anuj, meri mumma ka khayal rakhiyega. Have fun."
Anu is flabbergast with this new info.
Anuj says, "sirf 2 din ki baat hain, maine socha main bhi Mukku ki bhabhi ke saath thoda time spend kar lu."
She interrupts, "Honewali, aapka matlab hain, Mukku ki HONEWALI bhabhi!"
Anuj mimmicks her, "toka taki kyu kar rahi ho? Ek hi baat hain ne? "
Anu - "Anuj aap na!.." and shyly lowers her eyes..
Anuj, making a puppy face, - "maine kya kiya hain? Main toh bas kuch waqt shanti se beetana chahta hu tumhare saath. Aur ek do surprise bhi dene hain. But tum nahi jana chahti toh wapas chalte hain Ahmedabad."
He pretends to tap on the driver's shoulder, "arey bhaiyya wapas chalo"
Anu grabs his hand midway and coyly looking in his eyes, says "nahi jana wapas", and happily rests her head on his chest.
