Chapter 28

When the day arrived, it began with a hurried blur of excitement- loud voices helping each other pack their things, talking about the trip as they ate breakfast, suddenly remembering to get one more bag, 'how do I look' reassurances and a lot of welcomed chaos. After everything seemed to settle down, Violet let out a scream...

"Aaaa... Oh My God! Addy! Look. at. this. beauty," she awed at the red four-seater Lamborghini.

Sid and Arpita couldn't help but laugh, after having rushed downstairs to see that nothing had happened.

Addison however, proved himself Violet's match, standing there open-mouthed, in awe, taking her reaction to be justified.

Half the ride passed by in a blink, with Addison and Violet praising and exploring the rich interiors, the comfort and the special wooden additions of the car. It would have continued for the whole ride, especially because Sid and Arpita quickly learnt to ignore their gushing and chatted on in their own world. However, the atmosphere changed when traffic reduced and got replaced by beautiful sceneries of nature.

"Wow," Violet whispered, as if to not disturb the atmosphere it had created.

Then, they silently enjoyed the view outside and halted for a few minutes here and there to take a few beautiful pictures. They also found a waterfall on their way. Just being around nature brought a calming smile on everyone's face, and readied them for all the fun they were going to have.

They reached the place Sid seemed to know, and a valet was waiting to take the Lamborghini to its parking place. Sid informed him when to bring it back, before all four of them started to stroll their way into the forest, their every step accompanied by the rustling of leaves and fragrance of flowers. The cool air refreshed their mind and Violet began to hum a song. Which caused a new game to start- guess the song from its tune. They laughed, cracked jokes and teased each other throughout, soon hearing the giggles of two little baby-girls.

It was the most perfect campsite one could have wished for. They could hear the flow of a stream nearby, the firewood needed for the campfire was already cut and kept, the chirping of the birds reached their ears and the peaceful breeze made Violet's hat fly away. She giggled, following behind her hat that she had bought exclusively for the trip.

Initial introductions turned interesting as Riya and Diya became interviewers.

'What's your name?' 'That's a long name!'
'Who are you?'
'Do you know which one of me is Riya - I am.'
'Do you my Papa's name?'
'Mama, I want auntie Vi's hat.'

As the couples started to put up their tents, the twins hid themselves inside it playfully. Each of it was big enough for three to four people and there were three tents. Arpita knew she had to share one with Sid and her heart raced at the knowledge. She tried not to stare at him, especially now that his muscles flexed as he put up the tent.

Sid smirked, observing the light blush on her cheeks and pinched her waist, making her yelp in surprise. Her wide eyes gaped at him chuckling and her face turned crimson.

He smiled at the deepened color and pulled her inside the placed tent. Finally stealing a kiss.

Putting up all the three tents, they all sat down together and decided what to have for lunch, everyone making their own mouth-watering suggestions and the kids pitching in every second to help them share a laugh. After deciding on the dishes and the barbeque, they all headed to the stream to fish. As Siddharth taught Arpita how to bait the hook, Violet clicked a picture of them. Which had her receiving requests for photos for the next one hour or so, and she thoroughly enjoyed it with Addison following behind her like a wounded puppy.
