1286 Words
fifth day!
From there they went to see the mesmerizing views of Pin Valley,........so, many oooooos' and aaaaaaas' and gasps left from the trekkers
"According to legends, Lord Shiva was known to have meditated here for years, after which Devi Parvati became so delighted, she began to flow___
'you love history......don't you ?' Blaze asked
'Yupp' which Insiyaa answered delightedly
He noticed that not for once she looked anxious or something......
now that they were kind of almost half way through the finishing point,......he was realizing why these boys were so excited about this trip! Even though with some breathtakingly beautiful views, it wasn't for feeble hearted souls,.......
Not that he wasn't enjoying, if anything he felt like home here in India. None of them made him feel like an outsider.
He felt.....free!
Worthy!
though he was getting tired of all the walking and living in a camp in sleeping bags....and having packaged food!
They kept walking until the next campsite came in view.......and let out a huff of relief.
After setting up camps there everybody settled around large bonfire,.....some boys carried guitar all the way up here and Insiyaa managed borrow it just for awhile.....but mind you, NOT without some bitches making few bitchy remarks.
'show off' one cried out from behind
'yes, must you seek attention from everyone, everytime ?' another one came
she wasn’t really prepared for this kind of unkind words so for once she felt like she'd cry..... but just clenched her jaw tightly and threw a remark like,.....
"It's a PLAYTHING so i guess i'd just play" to the one girl who said 'it's not toy, you know!'
and started playing!
Saari duniya se jeet ke main.....
[ After winning from the whole world ]
Aaya hoon idhar
[ I've come here ]
Tere aage hi main haara, Kiya tune kya asar
[ I've lost only in front of you, what effect do you have on me ]
Main dil ka raaz kehta hoon
[ I'm telling you the secret of my heart ]
Ke jab jab saansein leta hoon
[ That whenever I breathe ]
Tera hi naam leta hoon
[ I take your name ]
Ye tune kya kiya
[ What have you done ]
'damn......didn't know you could sing ?' Sankalp said looking impressed.....she didn’t realise when when Sankalp and Shawkat both came back.....
'mmh....your voice got better' Rahat complimented too
'yep...she used to practice ba ba black sheep in the c***k of dawn' Shawkat said and smirked while some girls sniggered behind her only to earn a slap at the back of his head
'owww....i was joking' He cried out rubbing his head
out of nowhere some boys announced that a group from USA came to visit here and they invited everyone in their party. All of them got excited and jumped on their feet to get ready.
All of them except Insiyaa......!
She was sure that her overprotective brothers would never allow her to go there,...
guess, she will be left alone in the camp.
All Alone...... She sighed!
But then she is never used to this kind of things either,.....she barely even participated in any cultural programme in her school!
Once or twice probably......when she was so little
''You wouldn't mind me borrowing your Kindle......right ? mine has limited options'' Insiyaa asked Rahat with hopeful eyes
''And your iPod as well'' She asked from Shawkat
'Babygirl, you do know we can't take you there' Shawkat sighed and said while taking her phone
''Yes!....i know'' She nodded
'So give us call, anyone of us if you need anything......and we will be back before you know it and stay here in our camp!'
they give her everything she wanted with her phone and probably added new number there and left.
she was just settling inside the thin comforter when Sankalp came in to change.
'hey'
''h..hey''
'you are not coming with us ?'
''Nope'' Insiyaa shook her head
'why....it will be fun! C'mon' Sankalp said frowning
But she sighed shaking her head...''First of all you guys planned a bachelor trip.....or something like this until i came and ruined it____
Sankalp squint his eyes a little hearing her but said nothing in return.
"Did you see how excited Shawkat was. I don't want to ruin his mood....he doesn't have to babysit me 24hours.
Right ?
None of you have do, i know if i go there, i doubt he'll even BLINK, let alone move from one spot and i don't want to do something stupid.....
just in case you forgot I'm still 15. Shawkat will not like this.......not this time, Let's give them their me time'' She said concentrating back on her reading
Tent flapped open again and this time Blaze entered with a blank look on his face and she turned up only to notice something else.....
shimmery red on his face!
She raised her eyebrows first and then narrowed her eyes
lipstick mark ?.....
giving her an indifferent look he went inside to his corner......hasty shuffling noise came out and clothes were flying everywhere around him.
Insiyaa looked at him Them! both were looking for clothes to change and shook her head.
what a mess they were making!
Insiyaa pressed her lips together to keep herself from saying anything......probably he was looking for something appropriate to wear at the party to impress
so,
they will change infront of her ??? she blinked repeatedly and looked at them wide eyes.....realised maybeeeee
No...
no
no
no!
She just took her iPod and left the tent hurriedly just for a time being, to let them change.
After almost 10 minute later she said little loudly against the tent flap....
"you guys done ? can i come now ?"
'yeah' A faint answer came
and she went back.
'But seriously you should come......we'll talk to Shawkat, he won't say anything, there will be girls, lots of them, he knows, so you will be fine' Sankalp said again trying to convince her when she came back.
But she knew better than that,.....if Shawkat has the mind to take her there he wouldn't have denied her already and neither did Rahat.
''Nope.....i must insist! I know you guys were so cool in school, i heard you know, you guys doing all the pranks, making funny drawings of teachers, bunking classes and all.....
but do you know how i was or how i am right now ?
Shawkat knows and so does Rahat
.....those class parties or even this Rave parties here.....none of these are my thing.
Books are my thing,.....i barely have friends in school because no one wants a nerd beside them except at the time of exams' She said and Sankalp only chuckled
"I don't even know what came over me when i......i decided to ___I don't know how is baba right now!'' first she started with a nervous laugh and then her face turned sad when she mentioned her dad
'You are cool Insiyaa.....you just don't know how much! The way you came all the way from home to here in this trip,......none of us really supports for how risky it was but yes, it takes a lot of courage. You are very daring......so stop feeling pity for yourself and enjoy the trip' Blaze suddenly came beside Sankalp and said looking at her with and unreadable expression
''I'm enjoying.....trust me! But right now I'm in a mood for reading so, you guys carry on with your party and leave me be. I'll join you later if i feel like. It's just 15 minutes of walk, i can see the bonfire from here" She took a deep breath and smiled at them while answering.......
