Mahira's POV:
We had to leave for Uttarakhand today and I was both excited and nervous at the same time, and at the same time I was feeling so sad, I really had so much fun at my place and now I'm sitting at the airport waiting for our flight. And I don't know when I'll come back.
"What are you thinking?", Rishab said, keeping his hand on mine.
"A lot of things.", I said.
"You can share with me.", He squeezed my hand and I intertwined our fingers together.
"I'm excited to meet your family, par bohot nervous bhi hoon.", I said looking here and there.
"I was in the same situation a few days ago. And you assured me ki everything will be fine. Now I'm telling you, everything will be fine. You'll feel really nice and comfortable there, just us and my mom and sister, mere alawa only females, and they are very friendly, and excited to meet you.", He said rubbing his thumb on the back of my palm.
And that helped me in relaxing. I nodded and then our flight announcement was made.
Time skip:
We had landed on the uttarakhand airport now and my phone is filled with the beautiful views that I saw from my flight. And the good part is, Rishu wasn't at all irritated because mostly what happens with me is that whenever I'm travelling with someone and keep on clicking so many pictures, people are like 'what you gonna do of so many pictures?', 'you take pictures of literally everything.' idiots, they don't feel nature the way I do. But I'm glad Rishab isn't like that.
And he always lets me use the window seat.
"Show me all the pictures that you took.", he nudged my shoulders, I was staring outside the window, I like taking in the surroundings of every place. Helps me understand so many things.
"Take.", I unlocked my phone and gave it to him, see for yourself, I'm a little busy right now. And I think he understood. Because didn't say a word after that.
"Mahira we're about to reach.", He said, disturbing my thoughts, I didn't even realise how much time has passed in just me admiring the nature.
"Oh.", I went numb again. We landed infront of a huge house. Not very extravagant but nice.
"Don't worry. Main hoon na.", He said and got out of the car, opening the side of my gate. His sister was standing in the door to recieve us, she hugged rishab.
"After so long rishab.", She said and I was just looking at them with a smile. It's always a heartwarming scene when you meet your family after long time.
"Sakshi di. She is mahira.", Rishab said and sakshi di looked at me with a smile.
"Kitni pyari hai ye rishu.", She said looking at me with heart eyes. Relief.
"I'm sure is rishab ne tumhe raaste bhar apni bekar commentary se bore kar diya hoga.", She said shaking her head, rishu, he has enjoyed attention at my place. Now my turn.
"No di. Abhi to nahi kiya isne aisa kuch, but han, sometimes.", I said and we both laughed.
"Achha andar to aao. Fir araam se baith kar iski complain karenge.", She said and we three walked inside.
"Maa!", She called and rishabh's mom came down and hugged rishab. She seemed so happy to see him.
"Mummy, she is mahira, rishu ki friend." Sakshi di introduced us.
"Namaste aunty.", I said very softly
"Bilkul gudiya hai ye to rishab.", She said and cupped my cheeks lovingly. How sweet is she.
