"What do you mean that we have to wait until morning?" Abhi fumed on the phone while Pragya desperately tried to get herself to dry.
"Shit." Abhi said. "We're stuck until morning. Roads are blocked due to the rain." Daadi had forced them to go for dinner. On the way, there had been some problems with the car, the driver took the car to the mechanic while Abhi and Pragya waited for the other. Unfortunately for them it had started raining heavily and they had to take shelter in this worn out hut.
"If it wasn't for you, this would never happen." Abhi blamed her.
"What did I do?" Pragya asked.
"You could have said no to Daadi." Abhi told her.
"Like she listens to me." Pragya told Abhi. "And we should probably make fire."
"How in the world are we going to do that?" Abhi asked. He looked at Pragya if she had completely lost her mind. "I don't have a match or a lighter. Now if you smoke, you might posses it." Pragya just shook her head at Abhi.
"You would not survive one day in the wilderness." Pragya taunted. "Just get me some twigs and if possible some wood. Leave the fire to me." Abhi had no idea what to do so he just started for twigs, this could be a good way to make fun of her if she fails. Pragya on the other hands either searched for flint and steel. She found the flint but she couldn't find the steel.
"Here." Abhi said coming to her. "I got the wood." Pragya took the wood, she was still thinking about the steel when her sight fell on Abhi's locket.
"Give me your locket." Pragya told him as she adjusted the wood. She placed a small piece of paper that she had found.
"What?" Abhi looked at her. "No!"
"You want a fire or not?" Pragya just asked him. "Secondly, nothing will happen to your locket. I just need to make the spark." Abhi halfheartedly gave his locket to her. She made the steel from the locket and flint move in opposite directions, checking if the sparks were made. They did have a sparkle. She placed the flint and steel near the paper and moved them in opposite direction. The paper caught fire and Pragya started to blow it. Slowly the wood caught fire and now they had a fire.
"How did.." Abhi asked surprised. "That was..awesome." Pragya just smiled in response. At least they had some heat in this heavy rain.

"Gosh!" Abhi said. "I am so bored."
"It's just been two hours." Pragya replied.
"What can I do." Abhi said to himself. Suddenly an idea clicked his mind. "Idea. We can play truth and dare."
"I don't want to." Pragya replied.
"If you want to die out of boredom, you can but I am too young to die." Abhi told her. "Come on, I would literally die if I don't do anything."
"Why do you over react at everything?" Pragya asked. "If I don't that I will die. If I don't do this I will die. According to you, you live your 7 janam in 7 minutes."
"You know what..ugh" Abhi stopped himself. "Why not just play a simple game of truth and dare?"
"Okay." Pragya said.
"Truth or Dare?" Abhi asked.
"Dare." Pragya replied.
"Sing." Abhi told her.
"What? No!" Pragya replied.
"Come on you can't have such an awful voice." Abhi told her.
"I never sing. I don't even know how I sound like." Pragya replied.
"You do the rules right?" Abhi looked at her smirking. "If you don't do the thing you're told then you have to give something of yours, and Chashmish we don't exactly have anything but clothes." Pragya stared at him in horror.
"You know..ugh." Pragya stopped. "I'll sing." She was no where going to give her clothes.
"Good." Abhi smirked.
"I'll just sing some." Pragya said. "Not the whole thing."
"Okay. Now sing." Abhi said.
"I'm nervous." Pragya replied.
"Meri ma.. just sing already." Abhi said joing his hands.
"Okay." Pragya said. She took a deep breath and began singing. "And right before you eyes, I'm aching, no past, no reasons why. Just you and me... This is the last time I am asking you this, put my name at the top of list. This is the last time I'm asking you why? You break my heart in the blink of eye, eye, eye." To Abhi's surprise she had a beautiful voice. Her voice was strong it complemented the slow songs.
"You have a nice voice." Abhi told her. "Now you ask."
"Truth or Dare." Pragya asked.
"Dare." Abhi replied.
"Dance." Pragya replied grinning.
"Dance?" Abhi looked at her. "Any particular type of dance?"
"Actually yes." Pragya smirked. "Classical."
"WHAT?" Abhi said. "I don't know classical."
"Everyone knows classical." Pragya said. "It's simple."
"Really?" Abhi said. "Why don't you show me the steps so I can follow."
"Okay." Pragya said standing up. "Stand up." Abhi stood up. Pragya showed him some hand movements along with foot movements. Abhi looked hillarious trying to do classical dance in Jays, Jeans and leather jackets. Pragya couldn't help but laugh.
"Why are you laughing?" Abhi frowned.
"I love how your dress compliments the dance." Pragya laughed.
"Yeah, yeah." Abhi replied. "Truth or dare?"
"Dare." Pragya replied.
"Yodel." Abhi said.
"No." Pragya replied.
"Come on or you're just scared." Abhi taunted her.
"I'll show you." Pragya said. "You-ley- You-ley-You-Hoo." Abhi burst out laughing.
"That has to be the worst yodel in the world." Abhi laughed hard.
"My turn." Pragya said. "Truth or Dare."
"Dare." Abhi replied.
"Dance like a ballerina." Pragya said. Abhi looked at her shocked but tried anyways. Abhi tried to spin and jump like ballerinas. He spun again, trying to stand on his toes. He lost his balance and fell right on top of Pragya. Abhi looked at Pragya. She looked really beautiful. They shared an eye lock. *Allah Waariyan in the back ground* Abhi slowly moved a hair strand from her face. Together they stared at each other for God knows how long. Suddenly Abhi's phone rang causing them to come out from the trance.
Abhi tried getting up and he brought out his phone and attended it before he could answer, Pragya screamed. "Ouch." Abhi's jacket got zip got stuck in her hair.
"Sorry." Abhi. He tried to remove the hair.
"Slowly." Pragya said. "You're hurting me." Tannu who was on the other hand, stared wide eyed at her phone listening the conversation.
"Sorry, that was hard." Abhi said as he tried to remove the hair.
"Ahhh." Pragya said as Abhi pulled her hair, she tried to move.
"Would you stop moving?" Abhi told her. "It's hard to do it if you continue moving."
"ABHI!" Tannu screamed. She couldn't believe her ears. In anger, she disconnected the call.
"There." Abhi said. "You hair is out."
"You nearly pulled all of them out." Pragya said rubbing her head.

Abhi's phone rang. He woke up to find Pragya sleeping on his shoulder. "Yes?" Abhi attented the call." He woke Pragya up who looked embarrassed at sleeping on his shoulder.
"Our car is here." Abhi said. Pragya nodded and they slowly made their way towards the car.
