Kashmir Trip (Day 1)

Everyone was ready and super excited for the trip.
The college bus time was scheduled at 5 in the morning.

Taksh arrived with deetya as he picked her whereas Trisha arrived alone.
Both Deetya and taksh went towards Trisha and Deetya asked her,
"Trisha tujhe aarav pick karne wala tha na?"
Trisha replied,
"I can come on my own...."
Both taksh and Deetya gave her a suspicious look and were about to ask her more that's when Trisha said,"Dee tu aaja I am waiting for you in the bus" and left.

Deetya and taksh were concerned for Trisha and then aarav arrived.
Taksh asked him about why he didn't pick Trisha to which aarav told him their last night convo.

Aarav and Trisha had a small argument related to lakshay last night, where aarav showed his concern as well as jealousy but Trisha clearly didn't want to share much about this so they had an argument.

Trisha was sitting in the window seat with her earpods on and her head rested on the window. When Taksh entered the bus he placed his bag on the seat just in front of Trisha and also to talk with Trisha about aarav.

He placed his hand on her head and said,
"Trisha you are just like my younger sister isliye keh raha hun jo bhi hai don't stress out yourself and aarav bura ladka nhi hai and I don't know ki tumhara kya chal raha hai but he really cares for you so just try to sort out things with him."
To which Trisha nodded and smiled back to taksh and he went to his seat.

The bus was almost full when deetya entered.

Deetya was just passing by taksh's seat and heading towards Trisha that's when taksh pulled her back making her fall in the seat just next to him and leaned close to her. Deetya closed her eyes as reflex and taksh whispered in her ear,
"Tum mere saath baitho, mein tumhare liye aaya hun" and placed a soft kiss on her earlobe making her shiver.
Deetya replied, "but Trisha? "
"Aarav hai na, unko sort out karne ke liye bhi time mil jayega aur mujhe romance karne k liye" making deetya blush.

Only two seats were left that's when lakshay entered the bus, he left the 1st seat and went towards Trisha and said, "Hiii, what a luck! Is this seat taken?"
Trisha was about to answer when they heard someone from behind,
"Yes it is TAKEN" Emphasizing the word ' Taken'.
It was non other than Aarav. He came forward and placed his backpack just beside Trisha and said,
"Yes this is taken, you can go there is one last seat left in the front you can have it unless you wanna come."

Trisha was just watching the whole thing without uttering a word.

Lakshay said, "I didn't know that you had this seat reserved for him" to Trisha.
Aarav replied instead of Trisha,
"Now you know right, so..you may go now" and settled himself beside Trisha.
Laksh gave a last look to Trisha and left.

Deetya and taksh were watching this whole thing, Deetya said,
"What was that aarav? Did you just said all that to laksh?" With all excitement.

Aarav gestured as 'well ya I did'. Deetya and aarav high-fived, that's when Trisha said, "Who told you that I saved this seat for you?"
Aarav replied, "The seat is next to you so I have all rights over the seat as well as on the one who saved it for me".

Trisha had a light red shade on her cheeks hearing the statement but managed to say, "No u don't,please switch the seat with dee I don't want u with me here".
"But I want to be here with you na and jab tum yaha ho toh mein kahi aur kaise ho sakta hun".
Trisha was trying hard to stop herself from blushing.

Deetya interrupted,
"Trisha actually taksh wants me to sit with him so plz try to understand." To which Trisha aggred.

Aarav picked one earpod from trisha's ear and placed in his, Trisha was shocked by his action but decided not to react.

•••••

On the other hand taksh and deetya were having their quality time throughout the ride.

Deetya was feeling cold so taksh took out a blanket and pulled deetya in a hug with the blanket wrapped around them.

Taksha spoke,
"Deetya, I know the last few days had been really tough for you and I know you won't be able to trust people from now onwards but trust me I'll never break your (he wanted to say heart but saved that for his proposal) trust, I promise ".
Deetya's eyes were moist after hearing him, all she could do was just nod her head and smiled at him to which taksh gave a small peck on her forehead.

Trisha was constantly looking out of the window.there were a lot of things going on in her head, here aarav was looking at her deep thinking face.

A small hair strand was constantly blocking his view. He unknowingly forwarded his hand and placed that strand at the back of trisha's ear, the touch of his hand broke her chain of thoughts taking her back to reality.

Aarav looked at his hand then his eyes got fixed on her.
She slapped his hand lightly bringing him back to his senses and said,
"Seat hogi taken by you, mein nhi hun toh hakk mat jatao."

Aarav said under his breath,
"Tum bhi ho jaogi."
"Tum aur tumhari yeh batein. Apna haat apne pass rakhna samjhe " and joined her head with the window in an attempt to fall asleep.

•••••

Taksh was watching deetya when he felt a pair of eyes on them, it was none other than parth.
Taksh separated himself from deetya's hold on his arm and went towards parth.

Taksh was boling in anger and said,
"Don't you dare lay your eyes on her, she saved you from me this time but not again"
Parth went back to his seat and taksh returned to his.

The bus was about to reach its destination and taksh went back to aarav and Trisha to wake them up but a small smile appeared on his face as he saw them.
Deetya followed him and an "Awwwww" left her mouth seeing them.

Taksh took out his phone and clicked their picture that's when aarav woke up lifting his head which was resting on top of trisha's head but couldn't move as her head was on his shoulder with her one hand wrapped around his bicep and the other one tightly grabbing his collar.
A small smile creeped on his face as he saw her sleeping peacefully but soon got back to reality when taksh cleared his throat.

Taksh said, "Humein laga tumhara jhagda hua hai? Par yaha toh kuch aur hi lag raha hai".
Deetya replied to him,
"Stop it taksh mere bhai ko kuch mat bolo dekho na kitne cute lag rahe hai sath mein dono,haina? "
Taksh nodded.

The bus stopped with a jerk as they reached the destination. Trisha woke up from her nap and found herself too close to aarav and him staring at her. She instantly moved back and gathered her stuff and got out of bus. All students were in the hotel lobby and they were assigned with their respective rooms.

Trisha and deetya's room was just next to aarav , taksh and priyansh's room.
