THE TRIP

It was a sunny day . Arnav and Khushi were going on a college trip to Ahemdabad . They were representing their college in the annual fest . Arnav and Khushi were topper of St. Xavier's college . But, unfortunately, they despise each other... Their bus was early in the morning from Mumbai . As usual' THE VERY PUNCTUAL' Arnav was on time and was waiting for Khushi at the bus stand...and as usual Khushi was late...

Arnav's POV

This girl is always late...no punctuality at all... Here , the bus will start in 5 minutes and there is no sign of her...Hmph!!...Why do I even care about her...Dammitt...I can't even leave her and go all alone... I swear if I get my hands on her I will not leave her...If this is for not Xavier's reputation and for Rajveer Sir I would not have agreed to work with her as a team ...Arghhh... What is taking her so long...

No one's POV

Conductor - The bus is going to start ...Everyone take their seats ...Hurry up!!!!!

Just then Arnav's train of thoughts were broken by the loud honking of the bus ...

Arnav - This girl will make me mad one day...

Suddenly , he saw a vision in red... Khushi was running all the way from the auto -stand to catch the bus . She stopped in front of him to catch her breath ... Here, Arnav was mesmerised by her beauty...She was wearing a red churidaar ...her hair was open just the way he like it... No matter what she wears she always look beautiful...

Suddenly , Arnav's train of thoughts were broken by her voice...

Arnav - (in mind) What the hell... I am thinking ...In this way I will definately go mad...

Khushi - I am sorry... Iam late...

Arnav - Toh tumhe apne darshan dene ka time milgaya... Tumhe pta hai ki kitna time ho raha hai...Agar abhi bus chuth jati toh iski jimmedar sirf tum hoti samjhi...

Khushi - Bas-bas main aa gayi na time par aur dekho bus bhi nai chuthi toh ab tum mujhe lecture dena band karo...

Arnav - Haan tumne yahan pahunchkar mujhpar bohut bada ehsaan kar diya...

Khushi - Waise tum yaha khade -khade kya kar rahe the jakar bus main nahi baith sakte the...

Arnav - Taarre gin raha tha khade ho kar...Tumhe bhi ginna hai... Nahi na...toh chup-chap chalo...

Khushi - Hmph!! Akdu kahin ka , Laad governor ache se baat bhi karna nahi aata (she murmured)

Arnav - Waha khade -khade kya bole ja rahi ho...Ek toh tmhari wajah se late hain...ab jaldi chalo...

Khushi - Par mera samaan!!

Arnav - Naukar nahi hoon tumhara ...khud uthao...

Khushi - Akdu kahin ka isse toh help mangna hi bekaar hai...

Just, then a boy arrived who is in his twenties with a cute smile on his face...

NK - Hey, kya main tumhari kuch madad kar sakta hoon ?

Khushi - Nahi shukriya , main khud karlungi.

NK - How can I let a beautiful lady do this ?

When NK is here then why worry...I will do it...He then helped her to put her bags in the back of bus...

Khushi - Thankss!!
NK - You are most welcome...By the way I am Nandkishore but everyone calls me NK for short...

Khushi - I am Khushi...

NK - Nice name ...just like you...

Khushi - Thanks!!!

NK - So friends , he forwarded his hand

Khushi - Friends!!

They shake hands...

Arnav is not liking their conversation...

Arnav - If you guys are over with your introductions...we can start for the bus...Its getting late...

They boarded their bus. Khushi's seat was beside Arnav . Arnav was taking the window seat.

Khushi - Mujhe khidki waali seat chahiyye ...Mujhe view dekhna hai bahar ka

Arnav - Tum kahi ki princess nahi ho jo tumhe window wali seat main de doon ...isliye jo seat mila hai chup - chap uspar baith jao...

Khushi - Okay...(she gritted her teeth)

Khushi - Tum apna bag mere seat se hatao...

Arnav - Baitna tumhe hai islie khud hatao (he smirked)

Khushi - Arghh...Ye laad governor...(she murmured) She put his bag down near her seat ... Arghh..yahan toh pair rakhne ki bhi jagah bhi nahin hai...

Arnav - Bus main samaan rakhne ke liye upar cabinet hota hai samjhi...

Khushi - Advice dena band karoge , mujhe pta hai bus main kaha samaan rakhte hain...

She ,then, put the bag in the cabinet..While , she was doing this suddenly , the bus started with a

jerk and she fell down in his lap... Both were staring in each other's eyes... Just then , NK enters the bus... On seeing their position NK clears his throat ...On heaing the sound of clearing throat , their trance got broken . Khushi realised her position and she hurriedly stands up . Both of them were looking here and there...

NK - Khushi , tumhari seat kaunsi hai ?

Khushi - Huh!!!Yeh.. yeh meri seat hai

NK - That's great , aur ye tumhari seat se pehle waali seat meri hai...

Then , they sat quietly in their seats. Arnav started reading his book...

Khushi - Arghh... Yeh akdu bhi na jab dekho tab apni kitabon main khoya rehta hai...kuch baat bhi nahi kar sakta kya...main kitna bore ho rahi hoon...Agar ab main aur kuch der chup baithi toh main pagal ho jaungi...(she murmured)

Just then , Khushi started wriggling and peeping out of the window ...

Arnav - Ye kya kar rahi ho , sidhe se baith nahi sakti ho kya ...

Khushi - Dikh nahi raha kya bahar ka view dekhne ki koshish kar rahi hoon..Mujhe window wali seat par baithna hai ...

Arnav did not reply anything and started reading his book...

NK who was listening their conversation said...

NK - Khushi , kyun na tum mere sath seat exchange kar lo , ye window wali seat hai tum aaram se view dekh sakti ho...

Khushi - Thankss!!

Then , they exchanged their seats . Arnav did not like the exchange but he did not said anything . He got busy in his book . While , Khushi feel contended by getting her favourite seat . She started enjoying the view .

Nk - I am NK...

Arnav - (sarcastically) Yeah , nice name...

NK - Aur tumhara naam ??

Arnav - (annoyingly) Arnav..

NK - Kya padh rahe ho ?

Arnav did not replied.

NK - Toh Khushi tumhari behen hai...

Arnav - (gritting his teeth) Nahi classmate!!!

NK - Oh sorry! Toh tumlog kahan ja rahe ho ?

Arnav - (annoyingly) Ahemdabad...

NK - Khushi kitni beautiful hai na!! (dreamily)

Arnav was getting irritated by his talks . He stands up.

Arnav - Khushi !!(loudly)

Khushi - Ab kya hai...

Arnav - Tum window wali seat par baith sakti ho...

Khushi - Main wahi baithi hoon dikh nahi raha kya...

Arnav - (irritatingly) Matlab meri wali seat par...

Khushi - Nahi main yehi thik hoon...

Arnav - Kushi , maine kahan yahan aa kar baitho,,,

Khushi - Nahi , mujhe nahi baithna hai...

Arnav - Khushi , baat ko samjho aur please yahan aa kar baitho...

Khushi - Kya kaha phirse bolo...

Arnav - Yahan aa kar baitho...

Khushi - Nahi use pehle kya kaha!!

Arnav - Baat ko samjho...

Khushi - Nahi uske bich main...

Arnav - Please...

Khushi - Haan ab phirse bolo...

Arnav - Yahan , aa kar baitho , PLEASE...(gritting his teeth)

Khushi - Ahan.. Aur ache se bolo...

Arnav - Khushi , yahan aakar baito please...

Khushi - Haan ye hui na baat...Ok aa rahi hoon...

He rolls his eyes...She sits near the window seat and Arnav beside her...

She was gazing outside...Suddenly she pulled Arnav's arm...

Khushi - Hey, wahan dekho!!

Arnav - What ??

Khushi - That's beautiful na...

She was smiling while looking outside and Arnav got lost in her beauty .When , he did not replied she looked at him . He came out of his reverie and nodded his head . That's when Khushi realised that she was clutching his arm and noticed their close proximity . She immediately released his arm and both of them went back to their seats . After sometime , when he finished reading his book ... he looked at her . She has dozed off to sleep . Arnav continued to stare at her . She has fair complexion .

Her doe -shaped eyes , cute little nose , rosy cheeks and full plump lips...He got lost in her beauty . Her loose bangs were fanning her face . He was tempted to tuck them and caress her cheeks.

Arnav - What the !! What I am thinking ... I need to control my thoughts . Then , he saw her head was going to bang on the window pane . He gently placed her head on his shoulder .
