Flashback:

We settled into the ride's seats.

Rahi made efforts to stay separated from me, albeit the seat was quite little.

As soon as the ride started, she grasped the handle tightly.

"Relax. You will not perish so rapidly, nor so easily."

I uttered

She directed an irate glance my way.

"I'm not concerned either, you must be scared"

she replied harshly

As we progressed through the ride, the velocity elevated.

In light of the constricted space, I placed my hand behind the back of her seat.

The world came to a standstill for me as she suddenly leaned toward me, causing her weight to shift onto me.

Despite it being unintentional, she kissed my cheek.

It was a wholly unpredictable act.

Noticing her crimson and embarrassed appearance, I was astounded.

"I... I..."

she stumbled over her words and remarked in a hesitant tone.

"I... I didn't do it on purpose"

The sudden act of affection leaves me quite befuddled.

A profound level of bewilderification pervades me.

"Ye..yeah .. it's okay"

I state

Once the ride finished, we hastily alighted from the seats and exited.

Flashback ends.

"Bro, what is amiss? You appear confused."

Vansh expresses as he gently shakes my shoulder, causing me to divert my gaze.

"I'm perfectly fine,"

I respond.

I look around and see that Vansh and I were stationed near the kiosk, while the rest of the group was preoccupied with snacking.

"...Where did Mahir Bhai go?"

I inquire.

"I don't know; he stepped into his car alongside Sameer and departed abruptly,"

Vansh replies

I am uncertain why my brother has been acting in a state of concern.

He appears to be troubled these days

"The dishes are beginning to cool off,"

calls out Raksha, prompting us to reply.

"On our way!"

we remark together.
