Traveling with you

Aarsha's POV

I was waiting for Aryan at the railway station. I took a glance at my phone to check the time. The train will appear in less than twenty minutes and he isn't still here, which is making me anxious. I bit my lower lip in frustration and gripped the edge of my Kurti.

Then I  felt a tap on my shoulder and I  instinctively flinched and turned around. only to find my soon-to-be husband smiling at me.

"I am sorry, I was stuck in the traffic," he said holding his left ear in his fingers along with an apologetic look. I nodded my head and pressed my lips into a thin line. I was pissed off. And just then the train arrived. We took our luggage and boarded the train.

I took out my phone to see where my seat is, but Aryan was quick and motioned me to follow him. As soon as we reached our seats, He took our luggage and placed them under the seats.

I sat by the window and he sat opposite me. It's a whole day's journey and I am pretty sure it's going to be a long day.

Aryan's POV

I was staring at my soon-to-be wife who was sitting opposite me and was staring at the view outside by the window, oblivious of me staring at her. The wind made her thick black locks fly in all directions urging me to tuck her hair behind her ears, but I resisted. I looked away not wanting people around us to think of me as a creep. I took out my phone to distract myself which ended up me re-reading our text conversations of yesterday.

End of text messages.

I tucked my phone inside my pocket, still smiling like an idiot. Though it's not a romantic conversation it's still worth it and I am ready to take everything slow.

I glanced at Aarsha again. She is still in the same position she is before. I think she is mad at me for being late and scaring her a little. I think I should apologize again.

" Aarsha! " I called her. My voice is just above a whisper. She looked at me and said 'Hmm'.
"I am sorry about earlier, are you still mad at me," I asked her. She shook her head and smiled at me making me smile at her too.
"I was mad a while ago, but now I am not. It's okay" she said to me with a reassuring smile. I nodded and turned my head to the side, only to witness a few elders staring at us and some aunties whispering things to each other while giggling. Aarsha followed my gaze and ended up blushing in embarrassment knowing what the aunties probably whispering about. Making the air around us a little awkward.

Aarsha didn't utter a word after that, making me frown with annoyance. I still don't know why it's such a big crime for these people if a young girl and a boy talk to each other. I took a sigh and concentrated on the view outside, though my beautiful view is in front of me.

Aarsha's POV

I felt my cheeks heating up when I saw the aunties whispering things about us. And didn't utter a word after that. I think Aryan is a little annoyed too. The time went slowly after that.

It's now 10:00 pm. Everyone started preparing to sleep and we both did the same. Saying each other a silent good night. Guess it's a bad idea to get to know each other while traveling on a train. Sighing I drifted off to dreamland.

(Magical time skip..)

I woke up feeling a little restless. Of course, who am I kidding? A railway breath is not the most comfortable place to sleep. I sighed and grabbed my phone to check the time and it read at 2:00 in the morning. I subconsciously turned to the side and found an empty breath.  Where did he go?  This is the first thought which came into my mind. Panic surged through my chest making me dizzy.

I got up and started searching for him everywhere and at last, I found him at the door side. He was leaning against the wall adjacent to the door. The moonlight hitting his face makes him look like an angel. His simple dressing is just the cherry on top. I sighed in relief. And started moving forward toward him.

"Hey," I said making my presence known to him.
"Hey, Aarsha! What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be sleeping?" He asked with a sweet smile playing on his lips.
"I can ask you the same" I chuckled in response. He nodded his head and said 'can't sleep'. We both stared at the full moon.
"Beautiful," I said whilst staring at the moon.
"Right," he said looking at me. And I can compare my face with a Tomato right now. I bend my head down not wanting him to see my already blushing face. But it was too late.

He started laughing his ass off. While I pouted my lips and hit him slightly on his bicep.
"I am sorry, I can't help it. You look too cute while blushing" he said making me blush again. To avoid further embarrassment I choose to divert the topic.

"How much do you know about me from college," I asked him. Judging by the mood change, He wasn't expecting that question.
