The tour around The gateway of India went quite well. Surprisingly Aarav didn't leave my side even for a second. I saw Bhakti glancing at our intertwined hands from time to time, grinning at the sight of two of us. Everyone believed that eventually I'll give up and fall for Aarav and we both will end up together, being the perfect golden couple.
Even my heart wanted to believe that!
The next day we woke up at 10 am, but our train to Jaipur was scheduled to leave at 11 pm. Being the dirty pig I am, I didn't care to have a bath. I just brushed my teeth and changed into a fresh pair of jeans and top.
I jogged downstairs to have my breakfast.
Oh! I didn't tell you right?
We are staying at a branch of GK public school. Whenever such big competitions were held, the students of the school were given a holiday, to accommodate the participants. So basically we lived in one of the school's classrooms. Disgusting right? But we were used to it.
Or did I already tell you this ? Never mind.
Aarav surely has been playing with my mind and my thoughts.
And my heart.I collected the coupons for breakfast and skipped my way towards the counter, to check what we had for breakfast. I could see a guy serving Poha and Idli. I quickly placed two Idlis on my plate, a little bit of coconut chutney and filled my glass with almond milkshake and proceeded to walk towards the park where everyone was sitting.
After the delicious South Indian breakfast, we practiced our dance routine during the day time and played a couple of games at evening. The games we played were quite childish, but fun.
The draw 4 card in the game of UNO, turned Bhakti and Aarav into rivals. They fought like wild cats and decided to break off their friendship, just because Bhakti had used the draw 4 card on Aarav.
Talk about maturity !
After solving their 'oh so serious' dispute, we played a harmless game of STDF, which thankfully didn't break any friendships.
I guess you are wondering about what STDF is ? It is basically an Indian version of spin the bottle or truth or dare, whatever you call it.
S stands for stare or situation, the person who chooses this has to stare at a given person for two minutes or they are given a situation.
T stands for truth, as you all know it,
D is dare, that's plainly obvious,
F is fire, the person is given names of four girls/guys and he/she has to choose who they would light on fire, dump in a dumpster, shoot with a gun and keep in their heart.
Sounds childish right ? It is.
When the bottle first landed on Bhakti, she choosed S.
"Wohoo... I get to give you a situation now," Hrishikesh said while looking at Bhakti with enthusiastic eyes.
"Hurry up, will you ?" Bhakti said while running her hands through her black hair.
Hrishi looked around at everyone and suddenly his eyes sparkled. Looks like he got an idea.
"Okay Bhaks ! Aliens with midnight black eyes and tenticles gushing out of their huge mouth have arrived at our planet, in a big spaceship which has 8 huge fans and neon blue light coming out from the front, and they are killing everyone and..." Hrishi started talking and moved his hands around as if he was narrating a story.
"Get to the point already. No one is interested in your version of Predators," Bhakti said while rolling her brown eyes.
"Calm down ! I was just creating an atmosphere. Okay ! So if aliens have started a killing spree and you have the power to save yourself and one more person, who would it be ? Mind you, you both would be the only humans left on the planet. Your options are - Sagar, Aarav, myself and Rhea," Hrishi said.
