The Last Goodbye

Chapter 33

"No Man, I always believe there is so much more to this ... It has to be." Aman said. He sounded so dejected like that of a man who had lost everything, yet wanted to keep going for it. And while things were serious Divya couldn't help but think how stupid his and this whole talk was.

"Aman, Let's be honest, who can give it in writing that after 3 months we would still be as good friends as we are right now, you never know some would have work, some might not be in the town, for some the circumstances won't be as natural as they are. I always thought I would live up to the moment I was supposed to, and later on, I don't know we all move on in life, if things are to fall apart then they will."

They were all seated in the bus on their way to some place that none knew about. Ms.Jain said they would have their dinner and then go on their way to Delhi and it was then they all sat dejectedly having this discussion on how things were going to be different from now on as they realized that this was it, their journey towards going back to the reality.

"I think we will manage, yes we all will separate, Madhav would go back to Jaipur, Manav would be an actor or something huge in life, Dev would have his business to run, Rishi would be busy with his work, I don't know what I want to do with life hence I might just get busy with figuring it out, Nandu would be busy with her events, you would go off to working on your competitive exams and the rest would be equally busy with their life, but then there would be days when we would Video call each other, we would text randomly asking what are you doing make plans for weekend, plan holidays and gateway.... I am sure this story of ours that began 3 years ago won't just come to an end like that."

"Well, cheers to your high spirit, Divya, pass me some of the kachori?" Dev said as he smiled at Divya who was glaring at him while passing the said kachori.

"I had asked who all wanted to have, and you specifically said you did not wanted it." While Dev laughed sheepishly, Divya's eyes went off to Aman, Rishi and Madhav, it seemed this conversation was far more than done.

*****

Divya and her friends got off the bus at an open road lined with various hotels and shops. Many of them were already closed but there were these two Hotels that were still open, it was 9:30 and it seems fairly possible for the shops to be closing off.

As Divya got off and stood at a side watching everyone, she decided it was best to lock all her feelings for about a day more now, she decided it would be better for each and everyone out here that she just reacted the way she was expected to. But then she wondered if it was possible to do that, she knew within a few hours she would be an emotional mess and only hoped that she wouldn't do any more drama now.

"Students please start moving towards the back side of the hotel." The Tour guide instructed. Slowly Madhav, Aman along with Dev, Rishi and Atharva began walking towards the way. Divya and the girls as well began following them when Madhav all of a sudden missed a footing and slipped. He fell on all of his fours and the moment he did everyone began laughing. The scene was hilarious, the almost giant like Madhav on all of his fours trying to get up.

Both Divya and Nandini controlled their chuckles and went ahead to help him up. "You okay?" the girls asked and helped him towards the steps so that he could sit down. Divya then took out her water bottle and gave it to him so that he could calm down, while he drank that, Nandini saw the scratch on his knee.

"your knee is bleeding." The moment Divya saw that she got scared, she quickly asked everyone if they had any medical stuff, mentally she cursed herself for keeping her medical kit in the bag, what use was it for while being there in the bag. Listening to all the commotion one of the juniors said that he had soframycin he gave to Madhav who applied it.
