YASH-

We were driving to the station in silence.

"Are you ignoring me?" she asks.

"No" I answer in a straight tone.

I know she was looking at me but I focused on the road.

"Look at me"

"I am driving Isha."

"Look at me and answer." Her voice turns into a whisper as she completes the sentence.

Obeying, I turn towards her. She was staring right at me. I notice tears forming in her eyes. I furrowed my eyebrows with concern. 

Why? 

"Is it because I re-"

She stops as soon as I step on the brakes , bringing the car to halt as I was about to crash into the wall. And also, I don't want her to continue. I don't want her to ask me . If she does, I might hurt her or get hurt. I knew she was hurt . Is it because I was ignoring her?

How can I tell her that I love her when she is in love with Ayaan. Or has a crush on him since forever.

I don't want her around me cuz she makes me go crazy. Do things to her which make her smile, blush. Listen to her all day chirping about things. Want to hug her , kiss her , make her mine.

B-but I can't. I am not the one for her.

She gets down the car blinking her tears back. She rushes to Diya ,Sasha and Ayaan . I watch them from the vehicle. I watch Isha hugging Ayaan.  

I get down from the car dismissing my thoughts. We reached back to the platform on time. We board the train together and find our seats.

We reach Delhi and move to our rooms after a 24 hour journey in train. The girls share a room and we take one. 

Isn't it funny that I am sharing a room with Ayaan? I let out a chuckle seeing myself in the mirror. I take a shower and head down stairs where others were waiting for me. I put on a black coat on as it is freezing at nights. 

Isha doesn't even make an eye contact. There were slight dark circles under her eyes in the morning but she blames the train journey. I know the reason why. It was because of me.


ISHA-

I wake to the sunlight kissing my face. The temperatures are low in winters here at nights and in the early hours. I slide the curtains open waking the other two sleepy heads after I freshen up. They groan.

"Oh C'mon.. We are on a trip. Chop-Chop, we have a lot of places to visit ."

"I know" Sasha says in her sleep voice and pulls the cover from Diya instantly waking her up.

"Now get up , You too" Sasha spoke.

These people act like toddlers sometimes. I grab my white furry and put on. I apply some make-up after my skin-care.

An hour later, we meet downstairs and start our journey to the parliament house. Ayaan had booked a car so we take turns in driving. Ayaan takes the drivers and we girls sit at the back. We start clicking few selfies while we were on our way. We decided to take few pictures in front of the parliament too.
