Meera's Pov-
We all settled and since the elders were tired they decided to call it a night. And all of us, meaning Shanaya, Raghav, Rohan and Sakshi were the most excited for the trip, they decided that we will not sleep and will play games and have fun the whole time and we the remaining one have to give in. Viraj and Vishaka went to sleep on the upper seats in the coach as they were very tired and didn't want to play.
I sat at the window side of the seat, beside Sakshi and on her left side was Rohan. In front of me sat Krsh and unfortunately Divya sat beside him and Shanaya was on her right side. Raghav bhai and Vikram sat in the seat in the opposite section.
Since there was no place to spin the bottle we played it on the phone with the total number of us. We kept it on the table which was attached to the train and Krsh started it. It was spinning and I was literally praying that it should not land on me and God heard my prayers. It landed on Rohan.
"Ughh!! Why me?"
"So Rohan, tell us what you will choose?" Shanaya asked.
"Truth", he replied.
"Ohh Rohan you are so boring. I thought you had some guts but anyways since you chose the truth I will ask the question. So do you have any girlfriend?" and there we heard some sounds of irritation because Raghav bhai asked this to him.
"Raghav bhaiya (brother), do you even know how to play this? We are not some high school students, but anyways answer Rohan". Shanaya said, making a funny face.
"Yes I had one a few months back but she was getting kind of cringing with me and always stuck to me so I broke up with, though it was not that serious so I was not affected much."
Like this the game was going on, Raghav bhai chose to dare to say to the ticket collector that he doesn't have a ticket. The man was going to take serious action so we signaled him to say the truth and he scolded us very much and went away saying very colorful profanities.
Then it came to Shanaya to tell the truth if she ever had a drink in a party and she said yes while looking everywhere but not at Krsh since he was giving deadly glares to her but he calmed down when he saw my eyes going wide in a way of tension seeing him getting angry.
Then it came Sakshi's turn and she chose to dare. Since the train stopped at the station and a signal was available, she got the dare to call her any male friend and propose to him and she did it. I was literally shocked when she called Kabir, since he was not in touch with us and kind of busy building his own startup and I gave her a look that I need to know what am I missing and she signed me that she will tell everything. Though Kabir said nothing except 'ok' and cut the call. But seeing her everybody decided to not say anything further.
Then it came Krsh's turn and he chose the dare, but before anyone can say, Divya said, "I dare you Krsh to kiss me." All were silent, I was just stunned that she didn't know that he was going to be someone's husband. For the first time I was feeling like I wanted to kill somebody. There was a sudden rush and anger within me. Was I jealous?
I came to realize that I was and widening my eyes I looked towards Krsh to find him already looking at me with that gaze which always makes me feel weird sensations and a sense of belonging.
But before anyone could speak he turned towards her with the look that made Divya visibly shiver. I wondered how someone could change their expressions so fast and he spoke with no nonsense attitude, "Ms.Divya, you should know but if by chance there is any mistake, I would like to inform you that I now belong to someone and that someone is Meera. We are going to be married and it is highly inappropriate to ask such things. You have not only made all of us uncomfortable but you also hurt my to-be-wife by asking that which is one thing I cannot tolerate, but still you are a family and I forgave you one last time since I am an unforgivable person to others who harm my family. Also remember you are on this trip because of Meera, if she hadn't said yes to me and given me a chance this trip would have not at all happened."
I was amazed, shocked, astonished all at once. And I was not the only one, I could see everybody looking at him with an open mouth like they saw someone else in place of him. Divya was embarrassed like hell, but still I got the feeling that she was not apologetic at all and was giving me glares that could burn, but I decided to ignore her and focus on something else or rather someone in particular.
He then continued, "It is getting very late, we all should sleep, since rest is also important and the next day will be very hectic."
No one questioned him, because he said in such an authoritative tone and everybody started preparing the bed immediately.

It was 3 a.m. in the night and I woke up unexpectedly. I sat and saw that the seat where Krsh was supposed to be sleeping was empty. I got up and went to see the coach beside us, every elder was sleeping so I went outside to see him standing near the gate. I panicked seeing him so close standing to the gate so I shouted in a loud voice, though for others it sounds normal.
He turned back with a jerk and came close to me, "Meera, what are you doing here at this time? Is there any problem?"
"Uh- voh, I wa-wanted to ask th-the same thing Krsh ji. Wh-what are you doing and why were you standing that close to the gate?"
"That, I was not feeling sleepy and thought of taking some fresh air so I came outside. Now tell me yours." He said, keeping his one hand at the back of his neck looking a little apologetic.
"I also don't know the reason but when I didn't see you on your seat I got tense and came to search for you."
"That means you were worried about me. Am I correct or am I correct?" he said, having a smug look on his handsome face.
"Why will I not be? Now I have the right to be." I didn't know where I got this courage but somewhere I want to be transparent like a glass to him. But after realizing what I said I was embarrassed and continued, "We should go and sleep as you said today will be a hectic day so we should rest."
I turned around to go but as I was entering inside I felt my hand in a grasp making me turn and collide with a hard built chest. I looked up to see the man who is the reason for my rising heartbeats. He immediately left me and I felt myself getting sad at the loss of touch.
"Will you stay for sometime.......please?" He said like he didn't want me to go but the thing was I was feeling the same thing so I nodded.
We were standing near the gate. Anybody can come but we were not doing anything wrong. He was supporting me by holding my hands since the train was taking sudden jerks and stops. We were looking outside though nothing could be seen but the air was getting cold around us.
"I am sorry." He said suddenly. I looked at him with confused eyes, "For what?".
"I didn't want you to get scared of me ever, I didn't want the scene that happened back there ever, though I wanted you to get jealous for me, but I never want you to get hurt Meera."
"You should not be sorry, Krsh ji, these things happening is normal since you are handsome, what matters is us understanding each other, knowing each other. Also I was not jealous." I looked somewhere else while speaking because one, I got caught being jealous and second, I can feel my cheeks getting pink shade.
"Ohh!! It is like that. Now I understand, you find me handsome. Once in a while you should say these types of things Meera ji, your to-be-husband will get very happy. Also I understood that you were not jealous." I can hear that teasing tone while he was saying this.
We didn't say for a few minutes so he again continued, "By the way Meera I am only yours for eternity so don't need to worry about others snatching me, because even if others choose me, I will only choose you Meera."
I looked at him hoping that my silence would be conveying what I was feeling because at this time I am literally completely speechless. The way he describes his feelings for me is on another level. Our eyes were doing the talking like they had found their other half they were looking for. We didn't realize how much time was but the more I look the less it is.
"Just wait here for a minute, I will just come back fast." He said and before I could ask something he went and exactly came back as he said in a minute.
"I thought about giving this once we reach but I couldn't wait anymore. My mom and I went and roamed in the mall and other markets and shops for hours and after that we found what we were looking for. Hope you will like it."
He gave me a rectangular box. I am having an intuition of what it might be but the gift was beyond my expectations. It was a set of bangles and the designs were so beautiful and intricate that I fell in love with bangles all over again. They had some shining loads on them which then Krsh told me were diamonds, freaking diamonds. I tried to refuse to take them since they must have cost him loads and I can't accept it. But the face he made afterwards saying I will not hear any nonsense and you have to wear it.
I just smiled and told him, "Krsh, can I wear it after marriage? I mean I never wore such expensive jewelry and they are very expensive, I will always have to be careful and look out for them."
"Meera they are yours, wear it whenever you want and do whatever you want to do with them. I am just happy to hear that you like them. And also Meera, now whatever is mine is yours, in fact I am also yours Meera, so never be afraid to show your right on me."
He said so intensely that I was wishing to hide my face since I turned beetroot listening to him.
"It is going to be morning, I think we should go before anyone sees us." I said again.
"Yes, you go I will come after sometime."
"Why, you also need sleep na, you should also come."
"Meera, if someone wakes and sees us together, I will not have any problem, but you will get shy and I guess will not like it. That's why I will come after you and I promise I will get sleep. Hmm."
I nodded, wished him good night and went. He also came after sometime and I was in my seat and didn't know when sleep consumed me.
