I know I already posted this comment.. but I just wanted to make sure you guys understand how much I appreciate your comments and PM's. They are very reassuring. 😃
Thanks everyone! I get so disheartened when I read some other FF's and WWRM because I don't really feel like I write as well as most people. But you guys have been so encouraging.
I really really appreciate it.!!! 😃
I actually don't know how I turned my dream into a story. I have pretty vivid dreams but I try to describe them more when I write so it actually stretches out a lot. I try to stick with whatever happened in the dream so they may not be the most imaginative and they may not make sense either. I know it moves slow because I write out each part. I wonder if RM will ever make it to Lonavala. 😉
I hope you guys really do like reading them despite their flaws. 😃

⭐️ Part 4b ⭐️
Rahul lets her cry and has tears form in his eyes as well. He could feel how much unsettled she felt by the way she was clinging to him. He feels pretty responsible for falling asleep to begin with in the truck. He was already suspicious of the guy. Eventually he couldn't take it anymore. He sits up with her still in his arms.
Rahul - Chup!.. ab sab kuch theek hai.. Chup ho ja! (saying this somehwat sternly)
Muskaan is totally bewildered how he can all of a sudden just yell at her after all this.
Muskaan - Kya?
Rahul - Haan. Bohot ho gaya ab tera rona dhona. Aur waise bhi kuch hua to nahin tujhe. Mujhe dekh.. mujhe kya hua hai..
Muskaan initially mad now gets more upset that he is hurt. He had no interest in complaining about his injuries. He was just trying to distract her. And it was working.
Muskaan - Dikha? (she reaches out to him)
Rahul - (pulls away) Rehne de.. ab tu tere yeh mote mote se aansoo ponch le aur uth ja.. wahan thode se aage maine kuch lights dikhi thi.. Dekthe hain kya hai wahan..
She actually obeys.. but still is sniffling.
They finally come to a slight opening on the side. It looks like a small truck stop (like a dhaba kind of thing) but is pretty empty with only a few tables/chairs and cots out. Muskaan walks over and sits down just staring off.
Rahul still feels terrible and comes to sit next to her.
Rahul - Patha na... Tu theek tho hai?
Muskaan sees his concern and wants to show him she is fine.
Muskaan - Bilkul.. ab kya karein ge?
Rahul - Lagtha hai yahin sona padega. Bohot thak gaye hain.. aur kahan jahen ge?
Muskaan - Hmm.. (doesnt even put up a fight because she is completely worn out)
Rahul finds some blankets and puts one around her. She lays down.. He brings his cot close to hers as he does not want to her away from him even for a second after what just happened. He watches her fall asleep and tries to stay awake but eventually drifts off again. They sleep peacefully close to each other under the beautiful starlit sky
Muskaan wakes up first freezing and jumps up shocked as to their location. She had for one moment thought this was just a bad nightmare that she had but it was all too real. She looks over and notices Rahuls sleeping with his hand on her cot. She sees the injuries that Rahul has now looking pretty obvious in the light of day. She can't help but to lean over and reach out to touch his pretty apparent black eye.
She ends up losing her balance and hitting him the same eye again. (shes such a nut 😆)
Rahul - Ahhhh!
Muskaan - Sorry sorry sorry!!!
Rahul - Kya kar rahi hai tu? Itni zor se maar kyun rahi hai.. woh bhi subhe subhe. Yahan par bhi sone nahin dethi. Aise utathe hai kisiko?
Muskaan - Oye piddhe chup kar.. abhi se ladai shuru? Pehle apni aankh ko toh dekh hua kya hai. Dhard ho raha hai?
Rahul (touching his eye) - Pehle to nahin ho raha tha.. (giving her an annoyed look)
Muskaan - Sorry bola na yaar.. maine todhi tujhe purposefully mara hai.
Rahul - Magar teri wajah se to.. (shuts up realizing what he was about to say)
Muskaan - Haan.. woh .. toh.. meri
Rahul - Chal rahen de. Bhook lagi hogi tujhe. Wahan ja ke freshen up hoja aur main dekhta hoon kahne ka.
He gets food and they eat and both are thinking what they are going to do next when.. this girl shows up running towards them and screaming Rahuls name..
Rahul stands up with a big smile on his face and puts his hands out..
Rahul - Oh my god.. Kavita!
Kavita and Rahul hug tightly for a while as Muskaan looks on with her mouth open.
Kavita - Wow you are looking nice!
Rahul - Not bad yourself (looking her up and down) Tu yahan? Itne saal baad..
Kavita - Haan main yahan.. par tu yahan kya kar raha hai?
Rahul - Yaar .. kya bathaoon.. meri car (tells her all that) aur bas hum.. yahan soch rahe the ke kya karen.
Kavita finally notices Muskaan is sitting there close by but almost hiding behind Rahul.
Kavita (whispers at Rahul) - Kisiko baga ke lekhe aaya hai kya?
Rahul - Kisko?
Kavita - Usko? (pointing at muskaan)
Rahul - Baga ke kyun? Woh mere saath hai.. (with a big smiles)
Kavita - Tere saath matlab? (also with a big inquisitive smile)
Rahul - Oh.. umm.. (not able to answer fast enough as he did not want to lie to her but...)
Kavita looks at Muskaan who is just pretending like she is not paying any attention.
Kavita - Hi.. mera naam hai Kavita.
Muskaan - Hi main Muskaan (short abrupt and looks away)
Rahul - Oh.. haan.. yeh hai Kavita aur yeh Muskaan.
Kavita - Yea.. We just figured that out.
Rahul finally feels he should explain who kavita is..
Rahul - Kavita mere saath college main thi.. Meri achi dost thi.. bas bohot din hogaye nahin dekha toh.
Muskaan (just fakely smiles) - Nice to meet you.. main abhi aayi (and excuses herself)
Rahul (thinks) - Usse kya hua hai?
Rahul and Kavita talk and they find out that Kavita is also going to Lonavala as she is an intern elsewhere and plans to go help there and is willing to give them a ride. They are having a great nonstop conversation. Muskaan is watching them from afar very curious as to who she is and to watch their interaction. She was feeling very uneasy.. Muskaan goes back to meet up with them after seeing them hug again. It seemed like they were very happy about something.
Rahul - Good news.. ride milgayi (he explains how she is going there anyway)
Muskaan - Oh.. (trying to feign exceitment) thats great.
Kavita - Toh chalein?
They are in the car rahul is front with Kavita and Muskaan is in the backseat.
Kavita - Waise.. Rahul.. I have to say you are looking very good!.. In college you were very 'champu' type you know and always with your nose in the books.
Muskaan laughs and hits him slightly.. but she also doesnt like that Kavita is complimenting him.
Rahul - Has kyun rahi hai?
Muskaan - Meri marzi. main jis par chahoon, jab chahoon has sakti hoon. (hits him again)
Rahul - Kya yaar? (at muskaan and then ignores her).. Haan I did have somewhat of a makeover I guess.. You are looking cute yourself.
Kavita - Thanks.. woh toh main pehli se hoon.
Rahul - Thats true..
Kavita (seeing Muskaan looking upset from the mirror) Toh tune shaadi kar hi di?
Muskaan is happy to know that he atleast told her about their wedding as fake as it really may be.
Kavita - Wow mujhe to laga tha ke tu Sonia se peeche.. oops..
Muskaan - Sonia? (whispers)
Rahul - Oh,, woh.. pichle baathein yaad mat dala.
Muskaan - Sonia kaun? (curious now)
Kavita - Umm.. mujhe kehna nahin chahiye.. Rahul tune usse bathaya nahin?
Rahul really does not want to talk about this now.
Muskaan - Kya nahin bathaya? Nikamma!.. Mujhe kuch bathatha toh hai hi nahin..
Rahul - Arre! Kuch bathane ke liye hai hi nahin toh..
Kavita - Thats true.
Muskaan is not happy that they are talking about this other girl that she never even heard of and that too in conjunction with him. She is wondering if he is still is hiding something and thinks she will ask him later but shes slowly getting more annoyed especially as he is being so friendly with Kavita and thinking they were good friends???.. What does that mean?
Kavita gets a call and picks up her cell.
Rahul finally looks over at Muskaan and sees she is still so quiet and looks upset.. He remembers the ordeal from last night and thinks thats what is still bothering her.
Rahul - Muskaan, sab kuch theek hai?
Muskaan - Gadhe!.. Tujhe kya?
Rahul - Gadhe??? Ab kya kiya hai maine? Tu nah shuru ho jaati hai..
Muskaan - Ab fursat mili hai mujhse baat karne ki.. Tu apni 'achi si dost' se bathein kar.. Mujhe thang mat kar..
Rahul smiles thinking she must be jealous..atleast thats some emotion he is getting from her.
Kavita.. after getting off the phone..
Kavita - Tumari shaadi hui bhi hai ? Itna ladte ho?
