The bus rumbled down the highway, a cacophony of excited chatter and the faint smell of teenage angst. Tavni sat in the middle seat, her gaze fixed out the window. She was still reeling from the encounter with Vishnu earlier that day. He was a strange creature, a mix of irritating and endearing.

Vishnu, on the other hand, was practically vibrating with energy. He couldn't contain his excitement for the upcoming water park trip. He was already planning all the water slides he would conquer and the number of times he would splash his friends.

"Hey, Tavni," Vishnu shouted, his voice barely audible over the din. "Do you think we'll get to ride that giant water slide?"

Tavni turned to face him, her eyes rolling slightly. "I don't know, Vishnu. Maybe if you stop talking for five seconds, we can actually hear the answer."
Vishnu know he had made Tanvi angery but he is not going to give up .
Vishnu pouted, but quickly recovered. "Come on, let's have some fun! We're almost there!"

As the bus neared Delhi, the excitement in the air grew palpable. The students couldn't wait to jump into the cool water and escape the sweltering heat. Tavni, however, was feeling a mix of anticipation and dread. She was looking forward to the break from school, but she couldn't shake the feeling that something was off.

As the bus continued its journey, Tavni found herself lost in thought. She wondered if her apprehension was simply the result of pre-trip jitters, or if there was something more sinister at play. She tried to shake off the feeling, but it persisted.

Suddenly, the bus lurched to a halt. A collective gasp went up from the passengers as the driver pulled over to the side of the road. A moment later, a loud banging could be heard at the front door.

"Everyone, stay calm," the driver's voice boomed over the intercom. "There seems to be a problem with the bus."
A wave of panic swept through the passengers. Some started to cry, while others tried to peer out the windows to see what was happening. Tavni felt a knot forming in her stomach. She had a bad feeling about this.

As the minutes ticked by, the banging on the door grew more insistent. The driver tried to calm the passengers, but his voice was shaking. Finally, he announced that they would have to evacuate the bus.

The students filed out into the sweltering heat, their faces a mix of confusion and fear. The bus driver explained that there was a problem with the engine, and that they would have to wait for a tow truck.

As the students stood by the side of the road, they began to realize the gravity of the situation. They were stranded in the middle of nowhere, with no idea when they would be able to continue their journey.

Tavni felt a pang of disappointment. She had been so looking forward to the water park trip, and now it seemed like it was going to be ruined. But as she looked around at her classmates, she saw that they were all feeling the same way.

Vishnu was trying to make light of the situation, but his jokes fell flat. The other students were too worried to laugh. Tavni could tell that they were all starting to feel hopeless.

Just as it seemed like things couldn't get any worse, a police car pulled up to the side of the road. A police officer got out and approached the bus driver. After a brief conversation, the officer informed the students that they would have to wait for a replacement bus.

The news was a mixed blessing. On the one hand, it meant that they would eventually be able to continue their journey. On the other hand, it meant that they would have to wait for an unknown amount of time.

As the students waited for the replacement bus, they tried to pass the time by talking and playing games. Tavni found herself drawn to Vishnu. He was a bit childish, but he was also kind and funny. She began to realize that she had been judging him too harshly.

After what seemed like hours, a replacement bus finally arrived. The students piled onto the bus, relieved to be on the move again. As they drove away from the broken-down bus, Tavni couldn't help but feel a sense of relief. She had survived the ordeal, and she was ready for whatever the day held.
