Arjun looked at her change of mood. He has almost forgotten his anger till now. He said "you are really ruthless".
Naina gave him a smirk. "Let's go".
Both of them had forgotten Maxwell who was watching all the drama. He was still immersed in the fight.

Naina said "thankyou Mr Maxwell for helping me "." It's not big deal". Maxwell said " but I must say , you are really brave". Naina gave him an smile.

Naina asked Arjun "how can you run away leaving me behind like that".
Arjun nodded "yoy were not safe ".
"You really underestimate me".
"Do you know horse riding ".
Arjun nodded. "You are really an all rounder".Naina said.
Arjun gave her an look "I am in army".
Naina rolled her eyes remembering the bag they had left behind.
"Oh , then you have lost your uniform ".
Arjun got on the horse and gave his hand. Naina with support of his hands sat on the horse. They left the forest area and came back to the crowd streets. Arjun shook hands with Maxwell. "Mr. Arjun which country have you returned from ".
Arjun replied  -"America". This explained heir clothes as well as English.

Naina looked at Maxwell intently . Maxwell smiled "about just now, don't worry I didn't see anything ".
Naina bid goodbye to maxwell.she was not afraid even if he told anyone because it was their last day today.
When they returned the panel again appeared ' we are ready to go back '.
Naina nodded she returned the keys to owners and they left without anything. It was a novel experience for both of them to see their old cultures and it was also an horrible experience for them atleast for naina. As they walked away their figures disappeared in the scorching sunlight.

When they finally opened their eyes . They were lying in the middle of the road and their luggage was lying beside them. 'you have been transported to the same time you disappeared '.
Naina got up her wounds had almost healed . Arjun picked up the bag .
'your next target is kerala, you have three days'.
Arjun looked around there was no one he sighed in relief. Naina was feeling hot in that heavy dress.

they reached the railway station. It was Tuesday today. At this time there were not as many trains there were in her era. The train to south was on Saturday. They took a train to  Maharashtra. They were lucky enough to get a confirmed ticket. The ring on Arjun's hand has disappeared. Naina went into the bathroom and changed into usual clothes. The scars on her hands had not healed yet. She carefully changed her dress .

She was really tired. The train arrived after one hour . This time Arjun booked ac coach. They got blanket and pillows. Naina and Arjun were very tired. There was an young couple 
In their coach. They took their upper birth seats and slept the whole afternoon.

They would reach their destination by tomorrow afternoon. Naina and Arjun were sleeping covering themselves with a white blanket. When they woke up in the evening there were many more people in the coach. There were many young people basically a bunch of girls. Naina's original seats were on the side birth. Both the seats were theirs. Arjun got down from the seat. There were total of three girls a man and the young couple. Naina thanked the girl . She sat on the side lower birth.

Arjun sat opposite her she said "are you hungry". Arjun nodded. Naina took out the dry snacks her pernani has given her.  "Hmmm here".
Arjun took one thekua , he had never eaten such thing before.

The girls sitting were staring at Arjun.
They were encouraging one of the girls to approach him. Maya liked Arjun since he has come down first she thought that the other girl was his wife but the girl looked much younger and didn't have sindur and neither bangles in her hand.

The girl who offered the seat to naina was named Lakshmi . Naina was talking to her. They were talking about the most common things. The recent events which happened in Kashmir had left the whole country shocked. Naina was sitting on lakshmi on other seat. She asked -"are you going on a honeymoon.".
Lakshmi blushed naina forgot that she was in 90s and girls at this time were rather shy on such topics.

"What are you so shy". Naina teased her. Meanwhile Maya approached Arjun . Arjun looked up at her.
Maya -"I am Maya".
Naina looked at this side , this girl was really daring as a 90s girl. Arjun nodded he had no intention to talk with her . Maya looked towards her friends they gave her an encouraging look.

She said -"are you going to Maharashtra too". Arjun nodded again. Maya was stuck in a one sided conversation. She had never gotten a cold shoulder from men. She was prettier than other girls. She looked towards naina , although this girl was much younger and pretty than her .
Naina felt her gaze when she saw the girl talking to Arjun she felt as if she had eaten lemons. She didn't know what this feeling was. She knew that they wouldn't believe that she was his wife because she was not like a married woman at all.

When Arjun nodded. Maya laughed
" Are you trying to shoo me away".
At this moment Naina stood up and came to Arjun  she said -"I am indeed not his wife". Maya became instantly happy. Naina continued -"he is my boyfriend".
Maya looked disappointed she smiled and sat back  muttering " what are you being proud of , he is not your husband".

Everyone looked at naina in surprise. Naina knew that people were rather primitive at this time . And having a boyfriend in this time was really not a proud thing but she didn't care . She pinched Arjun's shoulders . Arjun scrunched his eyebrows and looked at her. She gave him an scrutinizing look.

Lakshmi smiled looking at their interaction. Arjun who was happy from inside didn't show it on his face .
