Falling head over heels
"O Teri!!!" Rey heard a small squealing of a kid. His eyes snapped from taani to the door which was already opened with two people standing at the doorstep. Parmindar covered Monu's eyes with her hand while he was curious enough to sneak out of his mother's hand. Rey looked at the duo in shock and then at the position he and taani was. Looking at parmindar's wide opened eyes and completely opened mouth, anyone could easily guess what she was thinking. He quickly got off taani, who was until now still lost in him. As soon as she felt light with his weight off her, she regained her senses and soon got up again only to find the mother-son duo staring at them with complete bewilderment.
"Good..good morning sir.." Swayam stuttered in front of Rishi.
"Very good morning jawan!" His voice was as usual stern. "Tum yaha kya kar rahe ho?? Aur ye sab kaun hain??" His eyes turned to the sleepy heads who had just come out of the car after vicky's warning. Looking at them, soon he realised that they were the same boys who were irritating him last night.
"Sir..sir..vo..ye sab mere dost hai.." Swayam felt his feet going numb with the glares he got from Rishi. "Hum sab...road..road trip pe nikle hai.." Rishi slightly nodded.
"Kaha jaa rahe ho tum log?" Sharon and gang warned him to don't say anything. He looked at the warning faces and then at the stern and serious face of Mr. Shekhawat. Gulping down his saliva under his dry throat, he felt like his life was just on the verge of ending.
"Vo.."He looked at his friends for help but looked like he had to do it alone. No one dared to even mingle around Sergeant Rishi Shekhawat. Swayam looked at rishi whose military mind was in full swing. He was doubting on swayam's every word making him even more nervous. "Hum..vo..Ladakh ja rahe hai." With no more strength to lie, he said it. Rishi stared at his meek face but before he could ask further, his interrogation was soon disturbed by his daughter.
"Papa!! Aap phirse shuru ho gaye.." Sharon came forward making swayam a bit relaxed. "Jo kehna hai, vo boliye na!!" She nudged him to speak. Rishi looked at swayam again, this time a bit less stern.
"Humari gaadi kharab ho gayi hai. Theek hone mein time lagega. Humein tumhari gaadi chahiye jawan!!!" He ordered swayam.
"Papa!! Aapko puchna hai, order nahi karna..that's their car." Sharon whispered in his ear.
"So what!! Ek military man mission pe hai aur as a responsible citizen in logo ko humein car deni padegi." He stated.
"Agar in logon ne aapko gaadi de di to beech highway mein kaha jayenge. And don't forget ye aapka koi military mission nahi hai. So don't order, just ask them for the lift." Sharon who was equally adamant as her father didn't back out. Knowing the fact, that this argument won't go anywhere he concluded it by simply keeping silence and let sharon handle everything.
"Vo kya humein lift mil sakti hai?!!" Sharon asked swayam in her melodious sweet voice. He felt to be a part of typical hindi romantic scene as he saw her hairs flying with the wind and her words striking right on the cords of his heart. Violins played in background and he was lost in the Yash Raj romantic love sequence oblivious to all the weird stares that he was getting from his surrounding.
"Swayam!" Vicky came closer to the lost swayam and whispered in his ear. He didn't reacted much. "Jag ja mere majnu varna aaj yaha Kargil part 2 ho jayega!! Hitler jis tarah tujhe ghoor raha hai, uski gun ki agli goli pe tera hi naam likha hai..." Vicky looked at swayam for some response but he was in his la la land. Finding no other option, Vicky chose what was only way to get him back. No later, pain ran through his nerves, as Vicky pinched him on his stomach making him scream straight on the face of Rishi. Soon realising what he was doing, he composed himself and found the ever doubting face of Rishi fuming with anger.
"Sir..sir...sorry! Aap log, please car mein bethiye. We'll drop you wherever you want!" He said in haste followed by the simultaneous smack of gang on their heads. Now they were stuck up, together and that too for the entire journey.
"Parmindar ji... Jaisa aap soch..soch rahi hai.. waisa kuch.. bhi nahi hai.." Rey tried speaking but he was just baffling. Taani tried hiding herself in the towel that was the only cover she had now. Monu giggled as he looked the bewildered expressions of Rey and taani. They were too embarrassed but oblivious to them, someone was even more embarrassed and that one person was not even in the vicinity.
Climbed on the pipe outside the room's window, Robert was busy in keeping an eye on taani. As per the instructions, he had gathered almost all the information. He was quite excited as this was the first time in last nine years of his job experience when he was literally succeeding in doing something. After all the drop dead failures, finally he was able to get a bit of success. But it has to wither away soon. From rey entering in the room to the accidental falling on the bed, he registered everything from his own naked eyes and much to his shy nature, he soon gets too embarrassed to even forget that he was hanging on the pipe. Soon what followed was his imbalance, which made him lose the grip as he fall hard on the ground below 2 floors.
Everyone got startled with a sudden huge voice of falling. They ran to the window only to found a short statured man wrapped in wilted leaves and mud as he winced in pain. But soon he caught a group of eyes staring at him from above and without wasting another moment, ran away out of their vicinity leaving behind confused minds.
Rey's attention soon shifted back on Parmindar and before the staring game would start again, he decided to wind it up.
"Vo..mujhe kuch kaam hai..mein baad mein milta ho.." He said meekly as he started walking out of the room in haste.
"Rey!!!" He heard taani call him with a shaky yet audible voice. Holding her towel she walked towards him as he turned to face her. Too lost in her, he couldn't even notice when her hands moved a little upwards grabbing his collar and with a little pull, she removed something from his shirt. His eyes shifted from her face to her hand which was holding one of her 'jhumka' that got stuck in his collar while they fall. She quickly pulled down her gaze not able to meet his eyes. He gave a small smile before stepping back towards the door.
"Sharon!!" Swayam called her finding the perfect opportunity as everyone moved inside the car to get seated . Sharon looked at him with a little worried face.
"Don't worry, sab theek ho jayega.." He assured her with a small smile. Her eyes got stuck with his making the whole world stop until Vicky blew the horn of the car to call swayam on the driver's seat. Avoiding their inner feelings, Sharon moved behind to sit with her parents while swayam took the driver's seat. It was his chance to drive now.

As Rey approached the door, his legs stopped suddenly as he looked back only to find highly embarrassed taani, blushing in her own world while at the same time hiding herself in the towel.
Jab kisi ki taraf dil jhukne lage
Baat aakar zubaan tak rukne lage
Aankhon aankhon mein ikraar hone lage
Bol do agar tumhe pyaar hone lage
Hone lage.. hone lage..
He looked at her glowing face with a small smile adoring her wet lips. In these entire days that she had been with him, she never looked too beautiful. Or may be he never saw her with those eyes. She uplifted her eyes a little to match his gaze. Oblivious to the whole world, they felt like drowning in each other's eyes. It was love..pure love. Their eye lock goes on until he decided to move out of the room with a winning smile on his lips and a blush on his face.
Rey and taani's dress😊

Jasmeet and his family finally headed towards the mall road of Dharamshala with rey and taani following them at the last. Everyone got settled in the shopping when both taani and rey managed to be with each other the whole time. Somehow they like their proximity.
Swayam along with whole gang and the Shekhawat family settled in his car as they headed for their common destination. With him being at the driver's seat, he smoothly settled the back view mirror only to get it settled on Sharon who was sitting far behind.
Jab kisi ki taraf dil jhukne lage
Baat aakar zubaan tak rukne lage
Aankhon aankhon mein ikraar hone lage
Bol do agar tumhe pyaar hone lage
Hone lage..hone lage..
Swayam's gaze frequently moved on the mirror admiring Sharon who got too conscious of his gaze. She blushed badly soon to be followed by swayam who also turned red and turned away from everyone hiding his blush towards the window. His hairs flew with wind as he felt a new smell in the air. It was love. Sharon looked at her blushing face in the back view mirror and soon hid her face in her palms as it became too hard to resist the feeling.
Parmindar carried taani to a jewellary shop while she looked back at the left behind rey. With so many things to try in front of her, her eyes were halted on the mirror in front of her which gave a reflection of rey standing a little away from her. Unknowingly she was was shamelessly gazing at him while quite aware of her gaze, he slowly forwarded towards her. While Parmindar moved to the other corner to look for other stuff, Rey soon came right behind her.
Chahne jab lage dil kisi ki khushi
Dillagi ye nahi ye hai dil ki lagi
Picking up a simple necklace, he shifted her hairs to one of her shoulders while tracing his fingers on her skin. She kept looking at him through the mirror as he made her wear the necklace. He tightened the knot and looked in her eyes which carry a simple yes to his choice.
Aandhiyon ko dabane se kya fayda
Pyaar dil mein chupane se kya fayda
Jaan se pyaara jab dildaar hone lage
Bol do agar tumhe pyaar hone lage
Hone lage.. hone lage..
After a haste lunch, everyone came back to settle in the car. While swayam had already taken his position, vicky who was supposed to sit beside him, flew to the back with a devil smirk. Sharon looked at swayam through the closed door, not knowing what to do as the seat beside him was the only one left. With a small smile, he opened her side of door, inviting her to sit beside him. A blush again made their cheeks red as she sat right beside him. The car started again and wind blew her hairs. And this time he need not to shift his mirror.
Inside a flourishing restaurant giving a stunning view of mountain beauty, Jasmeet and his family took a halt to take a quick bite. Seated on a family table near the window, taani and rey found the corner most seats for themselves right in front of each other with only one of the kids right beside them. The cold wind blew straight on their face making the atmosphere even more romantic. Monu and Tonu looked at the couple in excitement as they played the game of hide and seek through their eyes. Totally lost in taani, Rey never realised that the small kid, tonu sitting right beside him very cautiously took one of his finger and pour it into the steamy hot coffee. He gasp in pain and shock only to get stares of the whole family and a small giggle from taani. Seeing her giggle, the pain soon went with the wind.
Uski khushboo agar apni saanso mein ho
Uska sapna agar apni aakho mein ho
As the long journey continued everyone in the car drifted into slumber. Just like everyone's head lying on each other's shoulder, Sharon too became prone to sleep and soon shifted her head on swayam who was trying his best to focus only on driving.
Jab na dil ke behelne ki surat lage
Jab koi zindagi ki zaroorat lage
Aur jeena bhi dushvaar hone lage
Bol do agar tumhe pyaar hone lage..
Hone lage..hone lage..
Walking right beside taani, Rey looked at her fascinated face as her eyeballs rotated in every direction to catch all the glimpses of the monastery. Passing through a few monks, she by her usual chirpy ways, asked them for a photograph which was quite well obliged by them. Rey looked at her smiling face through camera lens as he settled the camera's range. As soon as the flash hit her face, she ran towards rey to see the photo. Their shoulders touched and he became aware of their proximity while she remain busy in the shots of camera.
Jab kisi ki taraf dil jhukne lage
Baat aakar zubaan tak rukne lage
Aankhon aankhon mein ikraar hone lage
Bol do agar tumhe pyaar hone lage
Hone lage..pyaar hone lage..
Sun starts to hide behind the huge mountains and finally everyone gathered to go back to hotel. Following everyone, taani and rey walked in last while they steal glances with each other. Their faces show a glow like never before as they felt moonlight mixing with the red shades of setting sun. With a final glance for the day, the sun finally set. Simultaneously the two pairs of eyes collide with a stronger feeling gripping their hearts and making their minds insane.
The night prevailed as their car drove with headlights on. Except for the few jokes going at the backseat and Rishi's constant irritated looks, swayam was quite enjoying the drive with sharon right beside him all through out.
Pyaar to hona hi tha...
Pyaar to hona hi tha...
The car crossed a milestone showing a clear mark of entry in Dharamshala. Every else sleeping in the car, sharon adored the night beauty of mountains while swayam shamelessly drooled over her.
Taani and rey departed back to their rooms with a small smile playing on their lips and a ticklish feeling in their stomach.
