The Last Goodbye

Chapter 37

It was still some time for 6 when Divya woke up. The place wasn't the best and was completely cramped up with Nandini sleeping beside her. Slowly she got out of her seat and began gathering her things, she couldn't find her blanket and nor could she remember whom she had given it to last night. With a lot of difficulty she took out her bag, her sack and attached her neck pillow to her bag and sat down.

Simran and Rahul were awake both of them in their own world as Divya gazed at Madhav's sleeping form. He wasn't any cute or heart warming. He was rather snoring, his ass up as he curled up in the blanket his I phone on the table. Divya shook her head and kept a few things on it so that it wont get stolen.

As time went by, she quickly got up and went to inform Ms.Jain that she was going to get off the train. She wondered where her junior Gauri slept and later thought to let it be, she was more nervous and sad of letting them all go, but she thought by the time they all would reach Bandra she would be back home, fresh and bathed ready to go off to sleep.

Luckily the train was going to stop at Borivali station. Divya checked it was already 5 min left for 6 and the train was on time. She went and shook Nandini bid her bye, then to Simran and Natasha and then she turned towards Madhav. She shook him once, twice, thrice but got no response irritated and heart broken. She hit him on his ass but got no response. He was sleeping like a log. Taking a long satisfying look at him, she strapped her bag and decided to go and stop at the gate. There was no one to bid her bye; it hurted her, but then she thought not to think much into it, everyone was tired and had just gone to sleep.

Yet it pained. She wished, Someone would have been there, but there was none. As the station came, with a huge breath she got down, stood at the platform for a while and began walking towards the exit. And she didn't had to be alone for long as she saw Parth and her brother standing there enjoying samosas early in the morning.

She almost ran off to them, but with the amount of luggage she was carrying it seemed impossible.

"Bhaaiiii!" Divya yelled and hugged her brother. She then looked at Parth in his shorts and wrinkled t-shirt and made a face.

"Please tell me you have at least brushed your teeth."

"Ohh I had to, mom wouldn't let me go otherwise. How was the trip?" Parth asked as he wrapped her in a bear hug.

And the feeling that Divya felt having her brother and Parth around was different, it seemed as if she was waking up from a dream and coming back to reality, and somehow it was right.

The trip that was so perfect, one that so closely resembled to the script of  the movie yeh jawani hai diwani - that almost every youth of their country wished to go on once in their life, was now over, she had to come back to her senses, she had to be in reality now.

"It was good. Ohh it was soooo fun" she smiled at her brother as the two boys looked at her weirdly.

"Alright, what would you have for breakfast?"  Dhruv asked as he took the trolly bag from her.

''To be honest I want to go to the washroom . Can we rush home?' the way he laughed made Parth curious as to what the two siblings were talking about and before he could ask Divya said, "Nothing that you should know about."

The house was just like the way she had left. Her mom yelling at her father, her grandma setting up things early in the morning, her sister walking out of her room with her haggled hair and her father nowhere to be seen.

Divya quickly dropped her things and went into the washroom to take a bath and get fresh. It was a completely different thing to be outside and not taking a bath for 3 days and to be at home with the same dirt .She totally couldn't deal with it at this time.
