VirMan SS/ The journey/ Part 8-Pg 16 - Page 7

"Oh my gosh..." she spoke excitedly looking at her surroundings. People storming, children crying in joy, ladies going bonkers on buying accessories, it seemed a perfect place to hang out. She stood rooted at a corner of the big Carnival in awe looking at the huge rides, food stalls, small and big things. Her eyes shimmered with joy as she moved forward holding Virat's hand so that she doesn't get lost in the gigantic gathering of the cities. She stuck her tongue out chuckling before facing him. "Er...I know this is very silly after spending the whole lot of time of my life for the past one day and a fortnight with you but um...what's your name", she questioned embarrassed at her own question. She couldn't believe she spent one whole day with a person whose name was stranger to her. He chortled at her question ruffling his hand through his messy hair.

"Hi! My name is Jack. Jack Dawson", he answered falling into stitches of laughter. He walked into the carnival dashing into the people as Manvi followed him laughing uncontrollably. "Stop joking already", she shouted loud between her giggles for him to hear in the huge fair. As she advanced her running she was greeted with the spellbinding intricate works, bangles jingling; children jumping up and down excitedly near the rides and shops flooded with people.

"Gotcha", she laughed catching hold of Virat's hand. He faced her completely and tried to put up a straight face.

"Oh, Well, I'm Rose. Rose DeWitt Bukater."she laughed as she said, interlocking their arms majestically and dragging him through the big fat crowd of people. As their royal walk continued he stopped abruptly near a toy shop. "Miss Rose, this one suits you", he said stopping his laughter from exploding pointing to a monkey toy.

"You want to lose your eyesight Mister Jack", she asked giving a sharp glare to him and tightening her arms around his. He raised his hands up indicating peace. She quirked her eyebrow in a joyful way indicating that he has been forgiven.

"I'm afraid Miss. Rose, If I go blind I won't be able to cherish the beauty standing in front of me", he replied giving a simpering smile causing her blush simultaneously. She raised her eyelashes to look at him and then immediately lowered them looking at the ground. She felt uncertain of her blushing. It wasn't like she never blushed, but before him seemed strange to her.

"Flirting huh, mind you I'm not like the girls you date", she said as she chimed her head feeling embarrassed again. How hard she tried to sound straight but the red color was becoming more deeper on her cheeks.

"That is my habit", he replied sensing her hesitance and dragging her through the narrow lanes of the fair. Her hair swayed along as they both walked hand in hand towards the giant ride.

"If you are by chance thinking of going on a ride then purleasee I'm not going to come", she exclaimed almost shouting and jumping behind returning to her own self back. He sneered at her childishness. He caught her hand in an interlocked manner and yanked her forward whilst she began going backwards. "C'mon it would be fun", he explained overjoyed to fill in the potential in her to face it.

"No I'm better off here", she said smiling widely pointing to the shops nearby.

"Oh, C'mon, stop being a dolt Manvi", he pulled her along. "That is so high and when it jerks backwards and moves forward again I feel my stomach churning besides I'm scared of heights", she complained stretching her head forward pointing to the merry-go-round.

"Life lies in defeating your biggest fears Manvi", he replied softly holding her hand in a firm position and trailing her to the ride. She took deep breaths before climbing over the merry-go-round. She looked down from the basket she was sitting and immediately tugged Virat out of fear. He took her by her side and held her hand tightly. As the ride started moving she instantly closed her eyes. He viewed her as her hair started dancing to the wind. Her lips were closed in a pout. He smiled as her silky brown hair stroked his face.

"Manvi open your eyes", he called out to her as she shut her eyes more tightly. "No, I'm scared", was the only prompt answer he received. He sighed before facing her and caressing her cheeks lightly. He blew air on her face which tickled her. She giggled hitting him softly to stop what he was doing.

"You're going to enjoy this Manvi, just open your eyes for once", he dragged his words as she slowly and mellow in her actions opened her eyes fluttering her eyelashes. Her face aroused with an unknown joy looking at her surroundings, it looked as if she was no more afraid of her biggest fear.

"Haha, you see that shop, it looks so small from here, people are looking like ants, haha", she laughed pointing towards the people on the ground waiting for their turn to climb over the ride. He tugged her arm into his and stood in the basket slowly.

"Get up now", he spoke merrily helping her to get up from the seat without losing balance from the basket. She lifted herself on her toes and jerked backwards as the wind blew over her face. It felt soothing and enthralling to have felt like standing on the top of the world to her.

"Now get your feet on the seat", he asked pushing her slightly. "What!!!! Noo mad or what? I don't want to spend the six months of my life in hospital", she replied puzzled and somewhat shocked at his stupidity.

"Come on!", he said assenting on the seat and holding her palm. "You'll fall down stupid and you'll have all your teeth broken", she screamed in horror looking at the way he was swinging his arms in the open air. "And what else?", he questioned raising his eyebrows for her to continue her rattle. "What else?, she spoke flatly. "An-and you will have fractures on the whole of your body".

He nodded his head high-spirited and spoke, "I like doing stupid things, and I'm going to do one more by making you step on the seat like me", he laughed much to her horror making her climb the seat whilst she kept on laughing and screaming at the same time sometimes out of fear and the other times out of merrily happiness.

"How does it feel Rose"? He questioned looking faintly at her face that was just inches away. She smiled watching him deep into his eyes.

"Out of the world", she spoke excitedly in a wheezy breath as the ride whirled taking them at the top most place of the city.

"Stand this way now", he said stretching his hands swiftly and holding his head high making the wind hit him gently. She smiled even more staring at his childish behaviour. She tugged on his chest making herself stand exactly like him and spreading her hands across him. They stood in the same position as the wind fluttered on their bodies.

They both closed their eyes as the ride was going to stop. As the ride came to an end children gave weird glances to them whilst other young couples stood amused looking at them. The old people blessed them both to be the eternity for each other.
