The Journey

Chapter 5

Ishitha's POV-

"No, Will! Please don't leave like that." Aarav cried from beside me.

Oh my god, he looked so cute and funny at the same time.

I couldn't bring myself to laugh at him because I myself had tears in my eyes.

'Five Feet Apart' always gets me emotional.

"Shit. Did that just happen?" Aarav asked when the movie ended.

Wiping my tears, I smiled at him before nodding my head.

He sighed and wiped his own tears away.

"Damn, I can't believe I actually cried." He chuckled.

"It's a good movie." He said smiling at me.

"See! I told you." I smiled back.

We spent the next fifteen minutes talking about the movie until our lunch arrived.

Aarav stood up from beside me and got both the lunch boxes from the man. He handed me my lunch box and sat on his seat across me.

"So, Ishitha." Aarav started.

"Did we just have a movie date?" He added.

I looked up from my food and found him smirking.

"You look 6 years elder to me, why would I go on a date with you?" I joked.

"Excuse me? I'm just 25." He stated.

"Aw. Did you get offended?" I asked, chuckling.

He rolled his eyes which caused me to laugh.

"I was just kidding." I smiled.

"And to answer your question, maybe, we did, maybe we did not." I shrugged.

"And what makes you say that?" He asked after gulping his rice down.

"I mean, you didn't really ask me out on a date."

"What according to you is an ideal date?" He questioned.

"Something like candle light dinners?" He added.

"That's clichè. I don't like such stuffs to be honest. Watching a sunset while eating pizza equals to an ideal date for me." I chuckled.

"Really ideal, huh." He said, shaking his head, but smiling.

"What do you want to do next?" I asked him, taking a bite of my food.

"You want to play twenty questions?" He asked.

"Go for it."

"Okay, favourite city?" He questioned.

"Hands down, Jaipur. Your favourite cuisine?"

"Indian. Favourite colour?"

"Black. Yours?"

"Same. When's your birthday?"

"4th September. Yours?" I asked.

"4th October." He winked.

"What's your guilty pleasure?" He questioned.

"Chocolates. I eat a lot of chocolates, more than I should. What's your worst trait?"

"I'm quite stubborn. Ever been suspended from school or college?"

"Yup. Back in tenth grade for throwing water on a teacher's face." I said, rolling my eyes at the memory.

Aarav started laughing while I chuckled.

"Virgin?" I asked.

"You seem quite interested in me." He smirked.

I rolled my eyes at him, but still had a smile on my face.

"Nope." He smiled.

"What tops your bucket list?" He questioned.

"Paragliding. What's your favourite cuisine?"

"You already asked that." He said, chuckling.

"I'm running out of questions." I said, rolling my eyes.

"Okay, what's your favourite food?" I asked.

"Chole bhature. Your favourite dessert?"

"Choco lava cake. Are you more of a formal or casual clothing guy?"

"I like casuals, but I get to wear formals more. Shoes or heels?" He asked.

"Shoes anyday! Why're you travelling to Ranchi?"

"Is that even a question to be asked, Ishitha?" He asked, laughing.

"Shut up." I laughed along.

"Got to attend one of my bestfriend's wedding. Why're you so interested in me?" He asked.

"Now, is that a question to be asked, Aarav?

"Shut up." He mimicked me.

Rolling my eyes, I answered, "I'm not. Why were you in Jaipur?"

"Business." He chuckled.

"You sure you're not interested in me?" He asked again.

"A hundred percent no."

"What's your biggest fear?" I questioned.

"Death. What's your biggest achievement till date?"

"MBBS degree. More of a spicy food lover or you got a sweet tooth?"

"I like both, but I'd go for spicy food. Celebrity crush?"

"Andrew Garfield. Your favourite music artist?" I asked.

"Atif Aslam. Your favourite movie?"

"I don't have a favourite movie. Your favourite flavour?"

Aarav stopped eating and looked at me. Giving me an amused look, he asked, "Sorry what?"

Oh, ofcourse I know what he thought.

"Favourite icecream or cake flavour?" I restructured my question.

"Right." He chuckled.

"I'll go for chocolate. Coffee or tea?"

"Coffee. What's your favourite sport?" I asked.

"Basketball. What's your phone number?"
