Dada is taking a stroll around the garden.
After instructing his maid and nurse , I paid him a visit.
Dada--" Where are you up to this time my lady?"
I smiled.
He was on his wheelchairs... I sat on the ground supporting on my knees.
Me--" I am leaving for few days Dada. Promise me , you'll take care of yourself!"
He stroked my hair with his weak hand.
Dada--" I always want you to stay away from this mansion.. it's a prison for you."
Maintaining the smile on my face I replied..
Me--"Don't worry Dada.. Everything will be over soon, then both of us will leave this house... Remember our plan?? "
He smiled and nodded.
I handed him over a booklet..
Me--" Choose one design from this untill I return okay? "
I hugged him before leaving.

.
Railway announced the whereabouts of out train and also alarmed it's passengers that it will leave the platform within 15 minutes.
I was struggling with my heavy ass huge suitcase, can't figure it out how should I carry it and put it inside the bunker.
Boys are busy arguing who will take the upper berth.
Ughhh!!!
Then a pair of hands held the suitcase.
Mild smile appeared on our faces.
Jyugal--"It's heavy!"
He lifted up the suitcase and put it on its place.
Darshan--" Yaar tu hamesha aisa karta hai..."
Sid--"Kya kya ... No.. dekh... From the upper berth, I can take good pictures of you!!!"
Hardil--"Dekh... Pictures are not important.. it been a long you two haven't spent time together... So... You guys should take the lower... I am taking the upper..
Darshan--" Oho.. aye bade.. I am done talking to you guys... And I don't need pictures.. I am taking the upper berth..
Sid--"Arey... !!!
Darshan--"Tu Window k bahar wali pictures le lena..."
Me and Jyugal were waiting for them to decide...then we will take the last left seat.
But it seems like, they really need a guardian right now who can control these kids.
Can't believe I am watching three full grown man arguing over seats.
Me--"GUUUYSSSS!!!!!"
I drew their attention.
Me--"I have the tickets. So we will take the seats as per tickets. Okay? No arguments. "
Even though don't like the idea.. but they had to agree , Because they might not wanna drag their child self anymore.
Me--" there are two upper berth, one is for Hardil one is for Jyugal. ".
Hardil--" YESSSS!!!"
His expressions are priceless, as if he won a gold medal.
And in the other hand, Darshan and Siddharth's face was so depressing.
Me--"I am taking the separate single one... And you two...
I chuckled looking at their so done face...
--Just decide between middle and lower berth okay??"
I have these two idiot a smile and started arranging my stuffs.

Trisha made some brilliant sandwiches.. we ate them as our lunch. She booked the entire compartment for us so that we can chill as we want.
After dinner, we made our compartment into a mini camp room, and we started vibing as the night getting darker.
I started telling the story how Trisha found me...
Sid--"My God .... You deserve a salute Helmet... !! "
Trisha--"Will you stop calling me that!!!!"
Hardil--" How?? I mean it's my first time seeing a girl who knocked someone with a helmet. Let us call you that please" .
Me--"Ahhhaa... Okay. "
Jyugal--" guys please don't ruin her name.. Trisha is beautiful."
Me--"Haa haa Vai.. to tu bula na use uss nam se.. we will call her Helmet."
I looked at Trisha. I noticed little blush on her cheeks.
I really want her end up with Jaggu.
...
How time was passing away with the rhythm of the running engine was unnoticeable.
But after a lot of laughter and good talks, we all started feeling tired.
We didn't noticed when Trisha fell asleep on Jyugal's shoulder.
Stupid Jyugal.
He should be the one cherishing this moment but... He is also sleeping, resting his head on Hardil.
I clicked a picture of these two. Wow... I really love to collect teasing material.

Train stopped for five minutes at a platform. It's been years I hopped on a train... I used to visit relatives when I was in school. That time I used to journey in trains. Every moment is flashing back into my memories like a new ones.
Trisha was still sleeping and we ordered tea for us.
Crowd outside the window woke her up.
As she woke up, she saw her face on her cellphone.
Me--"Aaaghhh!!! I don't understand, how you look so fresh even in the morning... Ugh!!"
She threw a very disappointed accusation to me suddenly, which kinda made me chuckle.
She went towards the restroom.
I took her cup of tea and followed her after few minutes.
She was splashing water on her face.
As she noticed me, again said the same thing...
Trisha--" what kind of moisturizer you use Raval..tell me your secret. "
Me--"main ye sab nehi lagata.. bass normal wash karta hu".
Trisha--"Liar.."
Me--"Arey hadd hai!"
She smiled.
Me--"Here.. your tea!.
She took a sip...
Trisha--"Haah... The best.. chai with Raval.. aur kya chahiye.."
Me--"Arey arey.. bass bhi karo".
We smiled.
Me--"Umm. I wanted to ask something.. actually a lot of things."
Trisha--"Yeah sure.. what is it?"
Me--"First... Do you hate Disha?"
She was about to take another sip but my question stopped her. She looked at me and smiled.
Me--"Tha way you talk about her and you are such a good friend.. it doesn't look like that you hate her."
Trisha--"She mentioned that in her journel?"
I nodded.
Trisha--" Yes... I hate her. I hate her the most."
My eyebrows raised naturally out of surprise.
Trisha--"I want to slap her hard for once in my life for something she had done..".
Me--"Why?? Isn't she your best friend?"
After a pause, she looked outside the window and then again locked her eyes with mine...
Trisha--"She is my sister. My elder sister."
Me--"And Dishant?" The question abruptly came from my mouth.
Trisha--" Our brother."
Me--"Where is he? "
She took a deep breathe once...
Trisha--" Darshan.. I'll tell you everything. Just... Not now. I don't wanna ruin my mood. But I promise.. I'll tell you everything at the end of this trip okay..?"
I smiled and nodded.
Trisha--"Ahh.. ye chai thandi ho gayi.. let me grab another cup.. "
She left leaving me with more questions and curiosity.
I slightly opened the door of the running train... Chilling Morning breeze is delivering the message through its scent that we are on the way to the Queen of the Hills.
