The Story Of Us

CHAPTER 14: The C.H.A.O.S (Part 3)

Our trip had finally begun as we reached the railway station. We made our way to our train and settled into our berths. I could feel exhaustion creeping up on me as most of us hadn't slept the previous night. With a sigh of relief, I lay down and closed my eyes, hoping to catch a few winks before we reached our destination.

But before I could drift off, my thoughts turned to her. I knew I couldn't resist messaging her.

Varun: "And listen don't think about me much, just enjoy yourself!"

I dozed off on the train, feeling grateful for the opportunity to rest. I knew Alizeh was sleeping too, and I didn't want to disturb her, especially since she and Kabir along with some of her friends had plans to go to Jaipur in the morning. I figured I'd just let her sleep and we could catch up later.

When I finally woke up around 9:30 am, I checked my phone and saw that Alizeh had messaged me a few times already. Her responses to my earlier messages were amusing, but also concerning.

"You just shut up idiot, I don't want any bad trips as soon as I wake up!" she had written.

"My head is just aching a lot!" she added.

Alizeh: "You are probably sleeping, so I will not text you a lot because I know you will wake up, but just take care of yourself, okay naa? And I miss you a lot!"

By then I was awake due to the constant buzzing of my phone. So, I replied.

Alizeh: "Why did you wake up? Sleep!"

Varun: "Same❤️, and shh!"

Alizeh: "❤️❤️!"

Alizeh: "Me Shh!"

Varun: "And why is your head aching?"

Alizeh: "I slept for 4 hours babe, so the headache will happen na!"

Varun: "Yaar sorry for keeping you awake the whole night!"

Alizeh: "Are you mad? you call me babe and then you say sorry for keeping me awake!"

Alizeh: "Idiot!"

Alizeh: "It was my choice to stay awake!"

Alizeh: "I wanted to be with you!"

Varun: "I know you do!"

Varun: "Now go get ready!"

Alizeh: "There is time before we leave, and I have already taken a shower, so just let me talk!"

Varun: "Okay!"

Alizeh: "Yuss!"

Varun: "Good girl!"

Alizeh: "Yuss🥺, Did you sleep well?"

Varun: "I slept around 7.30 am"

Alizeh: "You are an idiot, why so late?"

Varun: "Areyy I wasn't feeling sleepy!"

Alizeh: "Idiot!"

Then she sent a couple of forwarded messages from someone, and she asked me to guess who that person was.

xxxx: "Everything okay?"

xxxx: "You sound not normal!"

Alizeh: "Guess whose messages are these!"

I knew those messages were of Kabir, but just to take a second guess I said.

Varun: "Divya?"
