Destiny

Part 19

Everyone reached the hotel that was booked for them after some rest they'll were ready for sightseeing.
Rishikesh may not be an ideal place to visit for youngsters but still it had a soothing calm atmosphere for the positive peace of mind. Everyone was all set to go
Some started their voyage with the hope of positivity, some for enjoying, some just accompanying for the people they love and some for the peace of mind. But only time will tell will there will be peace or it's the road for new storm.
Is it by any chance possible to win from your parents, No Right. Same was the case with the younger clan. Where Rithwik, Reva, Mishti and others made their own plans. Aastha & Nirmala where hell adamant on starting trip by visiting temple and everyone gave in to their demand.
They all visited Trimbakeshwar temple. This holy shrine has 13 storeys and each storey has several idols of Hindu Gods and Goddesses. It took them 2 hour to explore the whole temple. 
They went near Lakshman Jhula which is an iron suspension bridge over the holy river Ganga at Rishikesh.It also offers a panoramic view of river Ganga and Rishikesh city having number of temples.
All were exploring it when someone suddenly lost his balance due to his carelessness and was about to fall in the river.

Mishti's Pov
I saw someone just going to fall from the bridge but before I could do something rithwik already held that man and was trying to pull him up. His reflexes were too fast. Rohit and me came up to help rithwik to pull that man
"just try to come up" I said it to the man so that instead of panicking he can help himself off. even i gave him my hand by leaning toward the iron bar so that he can hold it make himself comfortable and come up.
"Mishti are you mad he is heavy and neither you are heighted nor you have that much weight to sustain the iron railing. With this you yourself will fell down and instead of one we have to pull 2 persons. Now back off." rithwik growled at me angrily and hence i back offed.
But while saving that man rithwik got somewhat injured his upper arms were getting frictioned with the iron ralling giving him some real bad scratches but still he helped that man. Rithwik was still struggling but something or to be precise someone caught my attention.
At a distance of 300m there stood my bestie Abeer Dixit dressed in loose t-shirt, jeans with a nice denim jacket a hat yo cover and a scarf to cover his face. Only his eyes were visible and that is enough for me to know its him. But question is why is he hiding and why hell he is eyeing the man who is at the verge of dying in anger. Is that mam some criminal or anything of that sort. Even if that is the case he would have come to help to inquire him later why the hell isnt he coming. God I just hope he is not in some dangerous mission again.
Rithwik was successfull in pulling that man up.My attention immediately shifted to rithwik and tending to his wounds.

Rithwik's pov.
"Rithwik beta are you alright?" Nandini aunty asked. worry was clearly etched in her face. She is a sweetheart and mishti has got the same sweetness from her with complementary addition of spiciness as well
"young man I hope there is no serious injury to you and are you able to breathe properly" my mother can't see a single innocent bird hurt then how can see not worry about a living human. But do not forget the important keyword is innocent.
"yeah, I am. thanks for the help."
He said that to me but before I could reply I was interrupted by Nirmala dadi
"ohh, you definitely should be. Now-a-days you kids don't have basic decency of keeping mobile while walking. Instead of enjoying the scenery you are so drowned in the good for nothing electronic device humph."
"exactly, now go and take some rest and next time don't get busy in that good for nothing device again."
Both Nirmala dadi and bebe roasted the man left, right and center. They didn't even let him speak in his defence.
"look like they are preparing themselves to be the roaster."
Mishti's voice distracted me
"come let me look at your hands they are bleeding I guess."
"You are caring too much for me. Aren't you Ms. Khanna"
"can't help it perks of being a doctor you know"
"Rithwik there is taints of blood in your arms. Let's do the first aid of your first." My badimaa she can never see me hurt.
"yeah aunty I will do that. I do have first aid essentials. Come rithwik."
Saying this mishti dragged me with her. I mean she looks like a feather who will blown away by the gust of wind.
"easy girl, I am already injured and you are dragging me like rugged doll."
"please have you looked at yourself, you looked like a hulk how can a sweet, cute innocent girl can drag you."
She said that in a childish voice and so much cuteness that I can't help but adore her more amd more.
"you sit here I will get the first aid from car"
"ok"
She came with the first aid box and sat beside me.
"Remove your shirt"
"wha... what ?"
"what what? I said remove your shirt"
"but why? What's the need to remove the shirt?"
Ok, so I do know that since it is a full hand sleeve shirt I need to remove my shirt for first aid but what's the fun in that if I give in that easily let's just tease you mishti baby. Let's see what will your come back. It will be too much fun.
"you know you are looking so sexy, hot, dapper and totally edible. I wanna have a look at what is hidden behind the veil of your shirt. I wanna trace that muscles of your arms."
She said that sexily by coming closer to me and tracing her fingers from my face to jawline. I was stunned for the moment and was thinking whether it's reality or a dream. I came out that by the sound of click of camera
"O My God just look at your face it's looking so funny. What did you think you will pull my leg and I will give in that easily."
She exclaimed laughing crazily. That was so embarrassing for me I mean she literally played me. "well you were looking for the come back rights here it is" my conscious mind mocked me. I just blocked my concious so it won't wander here and there and concentrate on impressing her rather tham making fool out of me.
"Awww, what happened don't you have anything to say. Cat got your tongue. tch tch tch..."
"oyee, it was nothing like that I was just.."
"shocked isn't it?"
She completed my sentence making me look here and there and what to reply in response
"next time don't try to tease me Mr. Noon. Ok"
"OK, no one even can tease you isn't it. I mean I thought that for once you will be shocked but you just turned the table."
"yeah, now let me clean the wounded area and apply ointment."
"by the way, what was the little stunt you pulled"
"little stunt???"
She looked at me questioning
"the very same one at the railing what was the need to give your hand. You are already thin and by his weight you yourself would have fallen down stupid girl."
"Aee, don't you dare call me stupid. I was just trying to help. And I may look slim trim, but I have a lot of strength in me. See look at my muscles."
She said that by doing the pose of showing muscles which made me chuckle lightly.
"and next time onwards don't you dare to order me to do something. I don't like that."
"you seem offended but I need to know about which order you are talking??"
"mishti are you mad justback off the railing what was that"
"that was because I care for you and wanted to protect you and not to show some superiority over you.sory if you felt wrong "
"rithwik I am not some scared kid who need protection at every stage of life I have taken decision myself till today and will he continuing to do it in future as well. Even if I am wrong the burden of consequences is mine to bear. This time I backed off not because I was scared or something but due to care I saw in your eyes. So moral of the story of you want to get the work done from me you need get it done by patient, calmly amd most importantly making me understand in an loving language and not with force, or imposing decisions on me. That simply won't work"
"lesson learned Mi Amour"
"Good for you Mr. Noon"
"ahh, easy easy. Don't vent out the anger of stupid by wiping my wounds with Dettol so harshly."
"sorry, by mistakenly it happened she said that cutely holding her ears." My goodness I wonder how much cute she would have been in her childhood, if she this cute now.
"it's ok you continue."
She was doing it when her phone pinged with a certain message. She read the message and kind of looked disturbed. Hurriedly she completed my first aid and was going to wrap up the things when I interrupted her.
"What happened you seemed disturbed."
"ahh.. nothing just one of the patients ahh, actually the intern doctor need some info so I'll just ping her. You go ahead I will join you."
She fumbled at start but later managed her composure and continued. I know it's something else but I do not wish to force her to open up toward me. For now I am letting it go but I hope its nothing  serious.
