1347 Words
first day starts! Blaze....... travelling in Indian train is something I'd definitely recommend.....it's just something anyone would enjoy it, now i get why boys were so insistent on a train journey when i asked why not take a direct flight. for a fact many Europeans have wrong view on travelling all around India in trains where millions of indians travels daily on work purpose and various other reasons......they often judges it by how media shows of people climbing over it and sitting on top or dangling by the doors and all......however Sankalp informed me that they do have different kind of trains based on classes, their railways are inclusive so they keep their options open from cheap to expensive/luxurious. but this doesn’t happen in Europe.......people who can't afford simply do not travel! the cabin boys made reservations for have nice space, bedsheets, blankets, toilets both indian AND WESTERN ......which I'm thoroughly thankful for, and paid food service with options which tastes quite good by the way,......and last! the scenery.......we wouldn’t have got that from 30000ft up, that's for sure. most people including me......until now thought India is a cheap country, well it's not really wrong for one, people....even the celebrities and business persons hardly goes around showing off much of their wealth unlike western nations and yet people all around the knows their names. It's just they always keep their options open, after all you always can get what you paying for........ i chuckled at my own sarcasm ******************************** Shawkat sulked all the way to Manali while others were enjoying,....chatting, playing cards and various board games, drinking. He stopped sending glares at her every five minutes though,......which is a progress. But every time she tried to start a conversation with him, he would either snap or just drop the topic in any way he could or avoid it altogether. He didn't have dinner last night even when the food she made was his absolute favourite.....club sandwich but guess what!....leftover tiffin carrier was empty by the c***k of dawn ! well,..... when everybody was sleeping peacefully Shawkat got up and started stuffing his face as if he had never eaten in days..... any guess how does Insiyaa knows that ? because she couldn't sleep peacefully considering the fact she was inside a train cabin with 4 male,.....she didn't give it a thought before she decided to come along and she was regretting saying 'no' to that girl now.... so when Shawkat made noise while getting down from his berth and making noise while looking for food which she kept closed to his reach.....kinda alerted her but she kept quite. poor little Hangry dearest brother..... Insiyaa thought and snorted silently as much as Rahat and Sankalp liked the way girls were flirting with them, Blaze absolutely hated those googly eyed skimpy clothed hormonal teenagers....he has his fair share of one night stands but he never liked this kind of attention After almost 20 hours of journey, they reached Manali, they got on the bus to reach the resort they booked on a bus for this trip and Shawkat still didn't utter a word and just went to his room leaving everyone behind. 'we booked 2 rooms, right ?' Sankalp muttered looking awkward They were suppose to book two rooms for 4 of them,.....but now it's 5 'before this blunder occurred' Shawkat muttered back pointedly looking at his sister.....Sankalp snickered 'both of you..... shut up' Rahat scolded from behind So, right now the arrangement will be little different; like,..... Rahat and Insiyaa will take one room with two separate bed and Blaze, Shawkat, Sankalp will be adjusting in another room. It was fortunate that they got a chance to exchange it for a huge room for a the last moment demand. Actually there were suppose to 40 people in this trekking team but somehow Insiyaa wasn't the only last surprise addition, there were other 4 people joined their team too and since it was the ideal time for trekking, so that resort and every other resort around that area was booked. The girls on the team tried to convince that they can swap partners and have Insiyaa in their room but this time it was Shawkat who politely declined..... because he is NOT going to let her get out of his sight at all! he can't have her doing something crazy again,..... not after the epic scolding he got from baba for coming to India without informing him first and then about planning the crazy trip and then INCLUDING their sister in this trip, He even instructed Shawkat to take the next train right back to Jodhpur..... Only for Shawkat to say a clear cut No! At the Midnight in the train, after Insiyaa went to sleep, 4 of them were still awake, enjoying beer and playing card when suddenly Rahat's phone rang.......he tensed up seeing the name on his screen and let out a sigh 'Shawk its baba!' He said looking at him 'Utha....kabhi na kabhi to uthana hu padheda na ?' [ Pick it up....it's not like we have choice ] but Rahat didn't.....he waited for it to died down on it's own but it kept on ringing 'Let's get out of here guys.....we need some fresh air and i need to smoke' Sankalp said rubbing both his hands together and getting off his seat,.....and because none of them wanted to wake Insiyaa up, they got out of the cabin to lit cigarettes and then answered the phone. 'Ji, assalamu alaikum baba' [ yes! Assalamu alaikum Baba ] putting his phone on loud speaker, Rahat politely answered 'Kahan hai wo.....tumhare sath hai ?' [ where is she ? Is she there with you ] A deep, angry yet very calm voice asked without returning the greeting from the other side 'Ji baba....yehin hai! Thik hai! abhi so rahi hai' [ Yes! Baba....She's here! she's fine,...sleeping right now ] Rahat replied looking at other three. It was eerily silence on the other side for a few moment and then 'How can you both be so irresponsible ? I didn't expect this from two of you. Instead of scolding her and bringing her back, you took her alone with you' they could tell just by his tone how much angry he was,.... obviously senior Raichand didn't know what exactly happened because he thought they planned a holiday trip With Insiyaa, so if they confesses now that it's a simple bachelor trip and Insiyaa ran away from home without even informing them at all and she did it on her own, well....... Let's say Hell will break loose and Amarendra Raichand will put shackle on his daughter's feet. Rahat looked flabbergasted...... Shawkat snatched the phone from Rahat and said,.... 'Baba nothing bad happened! Don't worry! we instructed her and she followed everything like a good student...and after the trip I'll__We will drop her home personally' as if that was the only confession he needed, Amarendra Raichand burst out in anger and started shouting,... 'Have you lost your mind ?' He was breathing harshly 'kuch ho jata to ? Puri subha bhi nahi hui thi jab wo ghar se bahar nikli. Akele gayi hai yahan se station tak' [ What if something bad happened ? It was absolute dark when she left house, she went to station all alone ] 'Tomorrow morning you are going to take the next train and come back home immediately...i want her home by the night fall. And we shall have a good talk about some boundaries as well. Period!' Amarendra Raichand ordered 'Nope! NOT GONNA HAPPENED. Boundaries are meant to be broken. She came all the way to meet us, have some fun after a long time. I said I'll drop her home after this trip and rest assured I'll.......and we will take good care of her here So, have a good night baba, khuda hafez' Shawkat matched his tone and stated clearly looking at Rahat who looked worried .......and there was dead silence for 2 minute then the line went dead!
