Commitment (ShraMan SS) || DISCONTINUED

One.

Here we go!

Hurry up guys, get going ...late ho jaayenge." Dayal sir shouted from the entrance as we rushed inside the bus...

" Settle down fast everyone. "

I ran to catch the window seat but already a boy was sitting there and it was the last vacant seat...
He wore a mask due to which I couldn't recognise him. All I could see was his spectacles and curly hair. 

" Oh hi,any problem? "he asked

"Woh...window seat.. I have vomiting problem so" I stammered

"Oh, sure. Please baitho na." he stood and sat on the neighbouring seat and I sat near the window one.

"Thank you " I stammered.

"No problem, Anytime..." He smiled...

The bus started...He closed his eyes and leaned back...

I started looking around and then fixed my gaze outside the window...

It was 6.30 in the morning. The sun was slowly rising.It looked so beautiful that I couldn't look away. 

"It's beautiful isn't it?" He said
"Hmm" 
The wind had made its effect on me. 

"You are Suman right? Tiwari ji ki naatin? "He asked

"Yes.. How do you know?" How did he know who I was? 
He removed his mask. 
"Oh, Shravan Malhotra, right? I am so sorry maine pehchana nahi" I admitted. 
"It's okay, it's hard to recognize with this mask on anyways" he said putting it back on. 

We got silent as the bus picked pace. 
"Mom didn't tell me you were coming on this trip too. " I asked. 
"Actually I told her not to tell everybody. You know how she is" He giggled. 
"That I know" I laughed too. 

The ride was silent. Occasionally we caught each other looking and smiled.

We reached the destination after merely 2 hours and walked to the college where the camp was organized. 

It was a 5 days stay camp. We assembled in the auditorium where they handed us schedules for the next 5 days.

Day 1

We were in the same group as all 5 students from the college were together. 
Day 1 was arranged in the chemistry lab. 
He stood right in front of me while I was totally unaware.
The teacher gave us a basic experiment to do.
We were told to do perfumes and I was very excited. I completed making it first and showed it to the teacher.

"Wow Suman, it smells really beautiful."

"Thank you Sir " I beamed.

"Suman.." He called me and…my heart skipped a beat.

"Y..yes??"

"Can I please smell that??"He asked, pointing at my lavender fragranced perfume.

"Sure." I handed it to him.

"Wow, Its really amazing"

"Give me yours" I pointed at his perfume. 

"Here you go"

It had a Lily fragrance. 

"Wow, I love this.."

"So let's do a thing...I love lavender and you love Lily ...so you keep mine and I will keep yours..What say??"

"Ok" I smiled.

Then it was breaktime and a man came in with tea...

" Tea time..! "He said and everyone took a break.
