An Inter-Planet Love Story

Chapter 6

" I have tasted nothing that tastes like nothing-",Rhy is complaining as she is sipping that drink they gave us,which is supposedly something that will help our body adjust when we are in outer space.

"Stop complaining like a kid
and drink,Rhy."

"Can't we just dump it some where and pretend I drank?" She pouts.

"My god,No! Just close your eyes.Gulp it down.Don't withdraw the glass from your mouth in between."

"Aagh." She gives a shudder after she gulped the entire thing down.

"Now,We have to filter our stuff in our luggages."

Since we can't afford to take everything in our space travel,we have to be choosy as in what we are gonna take with us.We are supposed to carry very minimal clothing and all that because,they say we will be given incentives to buy all our necessities after we reach Yaxin.Cool Stars.Right?

All our eliminated luggages will be sent back to our parents safely or thats what they told us.
I really hope so.

Me and Rhy are just roughly scanning through our luggage and repacking it in to a smaller version that have impossible to eliminate stuffs.

To be honest,that was what Rhy did.
Me,being the clumsy crazy pants I am,basically took the pictures,cute little things and stuff like that,instead of basic necessities.I also took them,but I clearly was partially to the former stuff.

"So shall we go change in to our SPACE SUITS?" I asks her emphasizing the last words of course.

SPACE SUITS !!
Oh moons,Still can't believe its not a dream.

"Oh yeaaah !! Come lets go!",she drags me towards what looks like another door.

"Rhy,Don't you think this room slash hall is a bit strange?I mean,how many doors are gonna spring just like that?"

"Exactly my thought.Also I keep wondering how these people know so much about us.From our academic records to the size of our clothes.Every thing.every single thing." She asks,with her thinking face which is basically hand on hip and eyebrows brought closer together.

"Yeah,right.If we have any doubt about our ownselves,we might very well find answers from these guys.Big violation of privacy,come to think of it.But really,when all this alien stuff is considered,it seems kind of acceptable."

Rhy agrees with me.We have a number associated with our name and the box with that number contains our space suit.

We pick up our respective boxes,the box is a bit heavy and inside it is an orange and white suit,mostly orange.

We wear the suit,except for the helmet,according to the instructions they gave us.

So how do we look? Hilarious as hell.
We look like people in drama costumes.Even though there possibly isnt a play or drama crew that has the necessity to dress up as astronauts.

Well,Except for Ryan.He can wrap himself in leaves like those early cave men and still look unacceptably hot.

He winks at me.And my cheeks turn red.Such involuntary actions,they make me more weird.Ryan seems to notice my blush,which makes him laugh.

Oh Stars.

My own muscles.My own stupid betrayer muscles.I hate you all.Ugh.

I quickly turn back to Rhy and hand over her helmet,which she gave me while tying her shoes,during which this wink-blush incident happened.

"You know what,this moment totally calls for a selfie." Rhy pulls out her sleek smartphone.

And I am instantly in love with its case.It basically is a black case,with silver glittery stars all over it!

HOLY STARS!

And there is something written along the height of the case,in a language I can't recognize.

"Amazing cover.Btw Whats written over it?And whats that language? Thats a nice font you know."

"Its Hindi,our national language.The word written there is "PA-TA-KA"
which actually means fire-crackers but in here it is a slang for vibrant hot girl." She explains with a wide grin.

"Pataka? So cool and So apt.With your brown nearly skulpted body,black hair that matches your eyes ,you are totally a Pataka,Rhy."

I am mentally repeating the word within me,its so cool.

"Dhanyavad." She giggles.

"Dhanya ..uh what?" I ask her in confusion.

"Dhanyavad",she says stressing each syllable clearly,"and it means thank you".

"Wow,you Indians are really cool.I wanna visit India sometime.The land of diversity.I have heard so much about it and Taj Mahal,the symbol of love.Such magnificient beauty."

"That's awesome sauce,Zee.I will be very glad to take you to India and be your personal guide.There are loads of things in our country for you to explore and enjoy.You should really stay in my house,we are a big family (she emphasises on the word "big",keeps both her hands wide apart for added emphasis,like a kid) and our various food will set your taste buds on a frenzy.Oh,I know! I know! I should totally get you Pani Puri! Omg! Zee you'll love it ,you'll ll never stop eating it.Its a gift from angels!"

This girl really is something.Her feet is hardly on the ground and her eyes are twinkling.

And she clearly loves her country.

"Rhy,Calm down,you crazy woman.I ll come with you alright? I ll do everything you want me to do and try all the dishes.Like you,even I am looking forward to it.Now,come lets take weird pictures in this weird costume." A smile has plastered itself on my face.

Guys,Her happiness and energy is contagious,I tell you.

"Ohh Yeahhhhh." She unlocks her phone and opens the camera app.

We start posing like crazies and click a hell lot of pictures.
