Next day, The train's whistle pierced the crisp mountain air as it chugged along the tracks, carrying a group of eager college students towards their much-anticipated adventure in Manali. Among them were Haseena and Karishma,  friends whose bond had blossomed into something deeper and more profound.

Haseena gazed out the window, watching the lush green landscapes give way to the majestic snow-capped peaks of the Himalayas. Her heart raced with a mix of excitement and nervous anticipation.

 Just a day ago, Karishma had confessed her feelings, and Haseena had found herself equally captivated.

Turning to Karishma, who sat beside her, Haseena couldn't help but admire the way the passing scenery danced across her features, casting a warm glow on her face. Karishma's eyes sparkled with a new-found joy, and Haseena felt a flutter in her chest, realizing that this journey was about to become so much more than just a college trip.

"Can you believe we're actually here?" Karishma whispered, her voice barely audible over the rhythmic clacking of the train.

Haseena smiled, reaching out to gently squeeze Karishma's hand. "I know. It feels like a dream, doesn't it?"

Karishma nodded, her fingers intertwining with Haseena's. "Hume khushi hai tum humare saath ho hasi. I don't think I could have imagined this trip without you by my side."

The weight of Karishma's words hung in the air, and Haseena felt her heart swell with a deep, overwhelming affection. 

She knew that this moment, this connection, was something truly special – a blossoming love that had been quietly growing between them, waiting for the perfect moment to bloom.

Suddenly, a playful giggle interrupted their intimate exchange. Meera, their mischievous friend, leaned in, her eyes twinkling with mischief.

"Well, well, look at you two lovebirds," she teased, nudging Karishma playfully. "I knew there was something going on between you!"

Karishma's cheeks flushed with a deep crimson, and Haseena couldn't help but chuckle at Meera's antics. 

"Tu n pitegi mere se" karishma said.

Meera raised a playful eyebrow,  "Not like that, huh? Well, you two better be prepared for a whole lot of teasing from me, then! Aur sun krishu..bhabhi ko sambhal ke rakh"

The trio burst into laughter, the tension dissipating as they fell into their familiar banter. Haseena couldn't help but feel grateful for Meera's presence, for her ability to lighten the mood and make the most of every moment.

As the train continued its ascent, the conversation turned to the upcoming trip, with Meera excitedly sharing her plans for exploring the local markets and hiking through the picturesque trails. Santu, Chita and Abhinav(one of their closest friend) joined them. 

The journey passed in a blur of laughter, singing, and stolen moments between the two . Haseena found herself lost in the warmth of Karishma's touch, the way her eyes crinkled when she smiled, and the gentle cadence of her voice.

 It was as if the rest of the world had faded away, leaving only the two of them in their own private bubble of bliss.

The bus rumbled along the winding mountain roads, its passengers growing quieter as exhaustion set in. Haseena leaned her head against the cool window, watching the snow-capped peaks of the Himalayas come into view. Beside her, Karishma's eyelids were starting to droop, but she fought to stay awake, savoring every moment of their journey.

When they finally reached Pathankot and boarded the bus to their resort in Manali, exhaustion had set in, but the excitement of being in each other's company was palpable. Haseena and Karishma found themselves alone in the back of the bus, the weight of their newfound intimacy hanging in the air.

Haseena reached out and gently traced the curve of Karishma's cheek, her touch sending shivers down Karishma's spine. 

Their eyes locked, and in that moment, Haseena knew that she had found something truly special – a connection that transcended the boundaries of mere friendship.

Slowly, as if drawn by an invisible force, their lips met in a tender, hesitant kiss. Haseena's heart pounded in her chest, and she felt a surge of emotions – a mix of joy, vulnerability, and a deep, profound longing. Haseena's hand were on karishma's shoulder and karishma's hand were on her waist.

When they finally pulled apart, both were breathless, their eyes shining with a newfound understanding. 

"I Love you krishu" said haseena.

"I too, Love you hasi" karishma replied.
