After having our lunch we again started our journey to the beautiful city of Dehradun. I was again sitting beside Mr. arrogant but this time he didn't seem to be troubled. He was resting his head on the headrest and his arm was on his eyes. I also closed my eyes and tried to sleep but I couldn't. It was like sleep was running away from me. Just then I thought of something. I intentionally let my head fall on his shoulder. His body tensed and his hands immediately put my head away. After few seconds I again rested my head on his shoulder. This time he didn't pushed me away maybe because he thought I was fast asleep. He put his right arm on my shoulder and caressed my cheek with his other hand. That touch was magical. I was savoring that magic slowly - slowly, to consume whole of it.

This guy's behaviour was killing me from inside. I was unable to understand him. When I tried to talk to him he pushed me away like a stray - dog and when I'm not talking then he is showering care on me because he thinks that I'm sleeping.

'What if he is suffering from multiple personality disorder.'
No he can't be. He didn't look dangerous to me. He was holding me like he was protecting me, that warmth couldn't be of a predator. The affection which I felt at that moment couldn't be explained with words. It was something beyond explanation. I don't know when I actually falls to sleep.

I saw two children sitting on a stone bench in front of a large pond. Girl was wearing a cute frock and the boy was wearing a neat shirt tucked in his jeans. Their age will be around 11 or 12 maybe. They were laughing at some some joke. The boy's face become serious. He said -

"Will you be my wife when we will be grown up?"

"Of course. I will marry you only. Then we will have beautiful babies."

"Then we will always be together.

Both started giggling and then hugged each other.

After that they started vanishing from my eyes. Both of them were smiling at each other until they disappeared before my eyes.

A smiled at my beautiful dream or should I say memory. Then I looked towards Kartik, he was sleeping. I checked that there were still few hours left until we reach Dehradun so I closed my eyes again.

My eyes opened when I noticed a pat on my hands. Kartik's hands were not more on my body.

"We are here. You can sleep in your room too." Saying this he lifted his bag and left. Gray also lift my bag and we walked towards the hotel. Professor gave us the keys to ours rooms and all of us run towards our room to freshen up after the long journey. As we reached towards our rooms I noticed that Kartik's room was towards my right and Gray's room was to my left. Monika's room was just opposite to my room. I entered my room and admired it's beauty. It was not that deluxe hotel in which father takes me but it was beautiful in its own way. Room's walls painted with light colours and a centred single bed. Dining table was towards the balcony. View from the balcony was mesmerizing with many plants and trees and stars twinkling between them. But the best part of the balcony was that you can enter the balcony of your neighbour by just crossing a small partition wall. I decided to have a look of his room too and I jumped in his balcony. As I was going to enterhis room I noticed that Kartik was sitting on the sofa writing something in a diary. I hide myself behind curtain and keep watching him for sometime. Thank God he kept his balcony's door open. I watched him until he completed writing whatever he was writing and then he put that diary in his bag. After that he entered the bathroom maybe to have a shower. I tiptoed in his room, stole his diary, and came back to my room in a hurry. I closed all doors behind me and opened his diary. 'Her memories' was written on the first page.
