Tera Zikr

Chapter - 3

It was a nice day, we landed in Goa in morning, I clicked some pictures of Puneet and his friends and Puneet took 2 selfies with me but midst all this, we enjoyed. We visited some beautiful beaches and I enjoyed my own company and now it was time to relax. I sat on the beach with a beer bottle and saw the waves crashing against the shore. The sky was full of stars and the sea shined under the bright stary blanket. It looked beautiful. "Would you mind a company?", a sweet female voice asked from behind. I turned around to see her. A beautiful girl from Puneet's friend circle stood there. She was the most photoholic and photogenic in the entire group. I remember clicking a picture of her at the beach and it was amazing. I smiled at her and softly shook my head. She came and sat besides me. "Oops! The sand is cold", she complained making me chuckle. "Sit for some time. You'll feel good", I replied. We sat there in complete silence and I looked straight at the sea and took smill sips of beer. "So, since how long are you friends with Puneet?", she finally asked breaking the ice between us. "We were in the same college", I replied. "College friends!", she exclaimed. I looked at her. She looked surprised and I gave her a confused look. "I mean don't mind, but you guys don't seem like college friends. College friends are normally like brothers buy you guys are pretty formal", she said and exhaled heavily. "We were in the same college, but we were never close friends, we were just classmates and a few times, team members in group projects. I always loved photography and it was always my passion so I left my college in between so we lost all the contacts but a few weeks ago, we bumped into eachother and started to talk a little bit and today, I'm not here as his friend, I'm here as his photographer, he called me just because he wanted some good pictures to post on social media", I flatly said and she didn't reply. "But he didn't say that he wants you as a photographer, right?", she asked. "Obviously", I said and both of us remained silent for some time. "But why are you doing this?", she asked. "I mean you know that Puneet doesn't consider you as his good friend, he just wanted to use you. Then why did you agree to come here?", she added. She sounded concerned about me, she was not fake and that's the only reason why I told her everything. "I'm not doing this for him, I'm here because I wanted a break and what can be better than a Goa trip and that too when you don't have to pay for it", I said and winked at her. She chuckled and said, "You're mad". "Malhaar Rathod", she said and extended her hand towards me. "Darshan Raval", I shook hands with her. "Gujju?", she excitedly asked and I nodded. "Hmm, your idea of this free Goa trip tells that", she stated making me laugh.
