The day of departure.
Monami was packing her bags. Karan had told her it was a wedding. She was curious as to why would he suddenly call her to a wedding, but nope. She wasnt complaining.
Sid too came running into her room, jumping up on the support of her shoulders.
"Hi kamini!"
"Aah! Sid! Lag rahi hai! Mat nar na..." Monami yelled playfully, rubbing her shoulder.
"You know what? Tujhe Lagni chahiye. Dole shole bro ke saath date aur mujhe nahi bataya? Not cool bro." Sid said, folding his arms and faking disappointment.
"Sid! Shaant ho ja! This is not a date bro..only an outing.."
"Outing huh?" Sid smirked, but it lacked its usual spirit.
"Sid...tu pareshaan hai na...kya hua.." Monami said stopping and facing him.
"Monu broooo! Tu itni tension mat le...mai bilkul theek hu!"
"Sid...tu mujhse Jhooth nahi bol sakta. Chal bata, kyu pareshaan hai..."
"Yaar...vo..."
"Sanjana nahi dikh rahi?"
"....tujhe kaise pata?" Sid asked smiling slightly.
"Sid tujhe bachpan se jaanti hu. Lekin tu na tension mat le. Tujhe suit mahi karti. Mai Karan se pooch lungi. Tabtak tu apna dhyaan rakhna, mai 3 din me aa jaaungi. Hmm?"
"Monu bro, kitni baar bolu, tu naa kabhi kabhi khudko enjoy karne de, doosro ki tension mat le. Tu naa...bas dole shole me saath maze kar..." Sid replied, pulling her cheeks, a teasing tone in his voice.
"Sid! Tu maanega--" hers and Sid's small chase down was halted when Sid nearly bumped into Karan, who was at the doorway.
"Vo...sorry br- I mean sir...I'll just leave.." sid mumbled and left, showing a thumbs up to Monami behind Karan's back.
"Rani Sahiba...chale? Train aadhe ghante me aane waali hai."
"Hmm..chalo.." Monami said, excited and confused. She had never travelled in a train before...would this set up a bad impression on Shergil?
Locking her room, Monami stepped out with her small duffel bag. She followed Karan to his room, where Faizi was waiting with their bags.
Soon all of them reached the station. The train was slightly late so they had a few minutes to spare. In that time Faizi and Monami talked about lots of stuff- Dilbaghji's biryani, Faizi's mother, Sid and more while Karan stood and watched them from a distance. He so wanted to hit Faizi with a bench right now. He had no idea why, and it was not even civil to think that he would be ready to resort to violence to get a chance to talk to Monami.
Soon the train arrived. Monami wasn't used to climbing it. Just as she was stepping, she slightly tripped, and in an attempt to catch herself, she grabbed Karan's shoulder. She did catch herself, but if you looked closely, you could see the sparks in their eyes and the smirk on Faizi's face.
