The next day, all four of them left early for the fun kingdom. The kids were super-excited for the picnic. Arjun was in a very good and jovial mood and it was actually a pleasant sight for Tina and Ishan. While driving, Arjun cracked jokes and made funny remarks with the kids. Ria was slowly observing the new side of Arjun. Ria(in mind),"So the super cop smiles as well….. he luks really amazing when he smiles. I don't know why but even I feel like smiling seeing him like that." Suddenly she came out f her trance, with Tina trying to tap her shoulder and gesturing with her eyes as to ask y was she smiling. Actually Tina noticed her looking at arjun n smiling looking at him. Ria looked away embarrassed. Tina,"bhaiya dekho ria di, mamu ko kaise dekh rhi hain.." Even Arjun looked at the girls, n found a extra smiling Ria and a notty tina. Arjun (in mind),"I never thot she could look so beautiful smiling." Arjun soon snapped out of his thoughts, saying,"Tina no badmaashi…..ria di ko tease karna band karo."
A few moments later, they all reached d fun world. All four headed towards the main entrance. The kids were super excited and so was ria. Arjun went to arrange the passes, and here tina n ishan started terrifying ria about the rides. Tina,"didi, u know my friend went for a ride and she fell from height. She was really hurt.. she was even operated." Ishan,"ha di…one of my friend also came here. He also didn't took proper care and he also fell from one of the slides. But don't worry, nothing will happen to us. Me n Tina very well know how should we sit in a ride," Tina,"aur arjun mamu ko to aap jaante ho. His chances of falling are very less. N now if we consider u, aap ko to kuch nahi hoga" Ria,(in mind),"yeh rides sound to be very scary, what if I fell from top. Now I don't even have my magical powers. Oh no… ab mera kya hoga." She soon was snapped out with arjun's voice, "chalo we got the passes…..lets start the rocking journey." The kids excitedly ran towards Arjun. Arjun turned and found ria still standing there, lost in her own world. Arjun,"Ria …chalo. We will get late. Lets Move….abhi to we have whole day to enjoy in the rides." Ria,"wo..wo….wo…ummm…." Arjun,"now if u r done with ur ahh…um…wo….den can we leave."
Ria(in mind),"khadoos kahin ke….if I m going to tell him that I m scared, he wll make fun of me." She moved forward and they all headed towards the rides. In the very first ride, they were supposed to sit, it will go upwards and then will come down with force. Ria was continuously calming herself. All four sat, when it was going above, everything was fine with her. She was although tensed about what is going to happen, when they will come downwards.The ride stopped at the top for a moment, and therby ria's heartbeat. She was actually hell terrified, and she held arjun's hands. Arjun who was busy with kids, suddenly realized someone holding her hands, tightly, very tightly. He turned to the direction, and found an extra terrified ria, with her eyes closed, trying to say something, and holding his hands. Arjun coudnt stop smiling at the girl in front of him. She was the one, who can do very dangerous tasks in a mere second, and now she is the same ria, who is scared of a normal ride. He held her hand back, and trie calming her. The ride soon ended, and they all get down. While the kids were suer excited and happy, ria was hell scared. She was trying to calm herself. The four of them, then headed towards the next,"roller coaster ride" Arjun noticed d fear prevailing on her face. Kids being super excited and took d seats. Ria went but there was no place left for her. Tina,"Sorry ria di….aapko mama k saath aana padega." Arjun signaled her to come. Ria went there. Before the journey could have started, Arjun very nicely held her hand. Ria whose eyes were closed, opened her eyes quizzically wondering why did he held her hands. Arjun,"relax…nothing will happen. Its just a ride and they take care that nothing happens. Aur waise bhi u r the genie …tum to kuch bhi kar sakti ho." Ria smiled a bit feeling relieved after what he just said. Arjun continued further,"I m here and will be there. Whenever u feel scared I will b there for u. Don't worry." Ria felt his genuine feelings with which he said that. Her fear was gone. The ride started. She was looking at him and the entiwined hands. At times whenever she felt scared, all she could feel was his hands helding her tightly, as if to assure her, to calm her down, that he was there by her side. At a particular turn, she didn't even realized when,she simply hugged him sideways. Arjun hugged her back, holding her. After 5 minutes, the ride came to a halt. Arjun still hugged her tight, with her eyes closed. They both could have remained like that, if they would have nt come across tina n ishans over excited voice. Ishan,"mama hat was amazing…loved d ride" Tina,"Han it was great fun. Loved it"
Arjun n ria both realized d position they were in. They immediately parted and moved away. Things had changed slightly. Ria felt nice being with him, but then on second thoughts, she got reminded of her mission. Ria,"What was I doing….i just cant like the moments I spent with him. It cant be possible." Similar was the condition of Arjun,"Oh god….i seriously liked the moments. It was as if the ride was d best part of my life. I lived my entire life in just those 5 min. Arjun u need a break. How can I like her…." Lost and confused in the thots, they all headed towards the another round of rides, to enjoy the day.
