*****
All the force knocked both of them backwards and Soumya's back hit the wall with Rajveer dangerously close to her. Their hands were still entwined and his face was so close to her that she could smell him cologne. They locked eyes, and for a moment all time stopped. Soumya's heartbeat increased. Unknowingly, Rajveer placed his free hand on the wall beside her head, caging her in. The wind from the open door attacked Soumya's hair and strands of it covered her face. Before he could think it through, he took his hand and gently pushed it back behind her ear and Soumya's breath hitched at that.
His hand lingered on her cheek for longer than it should have, and Soumya's eyes closed on their own accord. The same spark went off in her when he had placed his hand on her waist. What was she doing? She barely knew him, and yet she was enjoying their closeness. She opened her eyes to find His warm brown eyes staring intensely back at her.
Before either of them could speak, a large jolt on the train brought them back to reality. He moved back almost immediately, creating the much needed distance between them. Soumya missed the feeling of his palm in her's. What was happening? She didn't even know his name and yet she was feeling this. She blamed it on the exhaustion.
Soumya cleared her throat. " Thanks for the uh, help. "
With that she went back to the seats as quickly as she could, watching the terrain outside, so she wouldn't have to look at Rajveer's face. But he didn't come back for a while, which gave her a quick breather. She needed to think. It was crazy to think of all that had happened in the span of a few hours.
She was starting to get super uncomfortable in this lehenga, so she took out a plain white crop top and matching pants that flared outward from the waist.
( Her Outfit )
It wasn't the most comfortable, but it was the best she had in the tiny bag. Luckily there were a lot more clothes at the farmhouse, so she wouldn't have to worry about them. She had tucked the necklace safely into the pocket of her bag, which she made sure to keep next to her the whole time. She can't risk losing it again. By the time she came back after changing to her seat, Rajveer was back and packing up his stuff.
" Tum jaa rahe ho? " She asked him. ( Your leaving? )
" Meh bhas train ka section badal raha hu, mere friends kab se meri wait kar rahe hai. " ( I'm just changing the section of train as my friends have been waiting for me. )
Soumya nodded as he put his laptop case into his backpack and took his suitcase from the top shelves. He turned back at her just before he left. " Meh janta hu ki ham normal halato meh nahi mile, but phir bhi, tumse milke acha laga. " He said, offering his hand. ( I know we didn't meeting in the best circumstances, but it was nice to meet you none the less. )
