"This road trip idea is super duper flop"
I yelled at him.We are currently stuck in a traffic .The sun is pouring all his anger & I was sweating terribly.He seems all cool and unaffected.
He looked at the surrounding.
"There is one way Darling.."
He drives his Royal Enfield , cutting from the traffic ,to the opposite direction.
People literally screamed at us but he drives off quickly.
~~
"aah..Where are we.. ouch.. driving aah ?"
The road was clearly bumpy.
I was constantly getting hit by not so good road,while seating with him.The road situations were too bad.
No .no..it doesn't even look like a road.I doubt if there was a real cement road made before .
"Adi.. damn you ..argh"
Aditya chuckled at my reaction.
"The universe has created route even before the humans created them ..I'm just following them Darling !"
Soon the rough road ends and another road joined to it, surrounded by trees .
"Wtf ..There are actual trees in Mumbai ?" My mouth hung low.
"We left your city long time back Darling!" He said calmly.
"What ?Then, where are we right now?" This road seems never ending.
"Beautiful place on the earth Darling!"
"And whats the name of this place ?" I asked him.
He laughed " You all humans ..don't get tired of giving names to each and everything ?"
I rolled my eyes.I saw the scenario surrounding us.
It is indeed beautiful !
I looked up and saw the sky covered with head of trees .Slowly the surrounding started turning dark.
I looked up in my watch.
It was just mid afternoon then why is it turning dark ? Then I noticed the we were driving through lots and lots trees who blocked the way of sunrays.
I felt little cold but saw Aditya was driving with a smile.
"Adi..I'm scared "
The road was getting darker and darker .
He just laughed.
"Huhahaha Enjoy the moments Darling "
Enjoy ? I was scaring the shit out.
The moment came when we could only see the road because of the bike's flashlight were on.But I was finding all peace in my mind now.
How is this possible to feel scared yet calm !
"You are scaring because it's in your brain but your mind know you are safe"
and He read my mind again.
May be he is right !
The moment I realised it,I felt my nerves eased out.I started enjoying the moment .
I saw fire fly's around in the dark.Showing us the way.I was instantly captivated by those fire fly's.An urge came in my mind to catch them.
~Flashback ~
"Sister ,look what I've found !"
Little Avni showed the fire fly she caught in the little glass bottle.
Sister Maria smiled at her and kept cutting vegetables.
"But sister..why it's head is glowing ?"
Sister Maria smiled at her.
"Because they are born with it"
"Then why I didn't born with the headlight ?"
Sister maria laughed on her naiveness.
Curious little Avni kept throwing questions .
"Why it is born with headlight ?"
Sister Maria knew this question will come up "To find its own way!"
"Find its own way?Then why I don't have it on my head" Little Avni pouted.
"Everybody has it their own.." Sister Maria said.
"What ?" She touched her head to check it.Sister maria laughed on her innocent act again.
"No.. no..not same like a fire fly.At some point in life,everybody finds out their own ways,with the use of their own light ! And this is how one get what they want in life by using their own light to guide self." As Sister Maria told her,
Little Avni blinked several times,trying to grasp and understand each and every word of Sister Maria.
"When will I get to use my light?"
She looked at Sister maria expecting an answer.
"You will get to know on your own " Sister Maria said it in very understadning tone .
"But when?" little Avni became impatient.
"When time will come sweetheart " Sister Maria squeezed her cheeks.
~~end~~
Avni's trance of the memories broke when the bike started jerking back and forth.
"What the.."
Both of their helmets hits on each other in the bumpy jerking.
"Ouch aah"
"Darling ..hold tight "
"Adi.. stop...I think we are gonna .."
The next moment ,we fell down in the soft liquid type ground.
Realisation hits me !
eeewwwe..
It's mud!
No. it's the mud which gulps you in.
ShitHelpMeIDontWannaDie
The more I tried to swim the more I was getting drown.
Nooo !
Stay still Avni ...Use your light !
Who the fuck is talking ?
I tried to jerk away all the thoughts !
Adiii !!!
I tried to stay still and relaised I was getting drown .
Fuck the calm I need help !
I looked around and saw one tree branch hanging low .I tried to reach there but was failing.
Suddenly I felt my body moving up towards the branch tree.I looked down and saw I was sitting on his shoulders ,parting my both legs to the side.
Who is he ? Eeww... Gross !
"Darling dont waste time & hold the branch ,I can't hold up longer."
Shit it's Aditya !
I quickly grabbed the branch and hanged on it.I tried to climb up when I get a sudden push from back .I was now sitting securely on the top of the branch.I carefully crawled towards the tree.After reaching closer to tree wood.I hugged the tree.I could feel my heavy breaths.
For a moment ago,I thought I was gonna die.
Then I moved back to see Green Aditya crawling towards me on the branch.
"Adi don't"
"Darling don't move " He yelled.
Then I heard a crackling sound of something.
Shit...
In a thud, the branch got broken and we fell down on the rough ground this time.
"aarghh..." we both squealed .
"I told you not to move " He said irritatingly while getting up.
He looked like a green bush !
"And I was about to tell you don't use the same branch " I barked on him .
"Yaa and wait for the mud to gulp me down right ?" He said sarcasticaly.
"Ha ha ha good joke by an extra magical angel !Tell me..since when you forgot to use your magic?" I copied his tone.
"Since you have started falling for me Darling!"
I gasped.
What did he just say ?
Me what?
Falling for him ?
"Yes.. YOU !"
"Wow Im falling for you and here I dont know about it yet .. cool!" I shrugged.
"Yaa I'm also experiencing this newly "
"What ?"
Is he also ? Falling for me? Do I seriously falling for..
"Shush Darling.. just shush" He annoyingly put his finger on his green mouth.
"What did you say before? About Experiencing newly ? What was that?"
I wanted to digg about that.
"That ,why couldn't I use some of my powers few minutes ago !
I would have saved us both easily but I was not able to do it". He scratched his mud covered head and stared at me in a dibeilef.
"What are you saying ? I'm not understanding Adi" I got hell of nervous.
What did he mean by can not use his some powers?
"You are falling in love with me Darling!"
~~
There was a silence ,pin drop silence .Our Royal Enfield was submerged in the green mud.
We both sat on a rock drying ourself.
"What do you mean by that?'
I asked him hesistantly ,trying to avoid his gaze.
"About what?" He kept his head down.
"The thing you said ,that you were not able to use your some powers to save me!'
"Oh "
and he looked up at me .
That's it ? Just Oh ?
"Adi ...I asked you something !"
"Hmm yeah..ahem..I don't know if you remember or not but " He took a deep breath.
How can one look so good looking even though covered with greenish mud?
He gave a look at me.
"You know we can't fall in love right ?"
"Yeah .I know that " Its hard to keep yete contact.
"But it's not happening from your side." He said.
"What do you mean by my side ?"
"If any one of us grew love feelings ,then it will directly cause my magic powers to get snatched by Boss ( God) one by one"
"What? And Why I didnt know about this ? It was not written in the contract" The whole Idea terrified me somewhere.
"Such things are confidential,which remains between the Boss (God) & Angels" He said.
"Then why are you telling me? God will punish us both"
"Darling..God is good all the time.The concept of God in your head is totally wrong !"
"Oh ..then why did you tell such confidential thing to me?" I sounded desperate to know about it
"Because I think you should know about it..so you can prevent yourself and save my powers too "
His green eyes twinkled.He grinned at me.
Green face ! Green eyes !
Fire flies were giving extra effect on his charm.
"Oh. but Adi..Im not falling in love with you..chill..I know the contract rules "
He sighed heavily "I hope you stick to your words "
We both sat in silence for a while .
The surrounding were dark enough.Thanks to fire fly's for spreading some light so we can atleast see each other's faces.I could see him fully covered with now dried green mud.His hair got styled by different spikes because of that mud.
His eyebrows were covered with the mud.His eyes lashes looked thick,every time he blinked.His nose looked double the size covering with mud.His whole body was covered with green mud and he totally looked like shrek !
I couldn't hold my laughter any more.I bursted out laughing and he gave me a look ,widening his eyes big.
"What ?" He shrugged and the dry mud covered on his shoulder fell down.
I kept laughing and laughing.
"Look at you .replica of shrek "
"Ha ha ha..and you are a exact replica of Fiona ,DARLING !"
I looked at him angrily.
Even though he was covered with mud he was looking cute.
The way he annoyingly looked at his mud covered body made him more pretty adorable boy.
"Stop thinking about me Darling..it will make you fall for me more "
He warned me calmly with his eyes closed .
"Huh ! Excuse me I'm not falling for you.. Angel aka Aditya aka Shrek "
He sighed and shook his head in disbelief throwing the mud covered leafs stuck in his head.I held my laughter back and went near to him.
I brushed my hands on his hair and tried to throw the mud on it.In the process ,I realized his hair stood upwards.
It looked like he just got 440 volts electricity shock !
I again tried hide my laugh .
Perfect hairstyle ! I thought and sat there.
He looked at me and the moment he opened my hair bun ,a frog jumped on my lap .
"aaaa" I jumped on my place.
Now he laughed hard this time.
"Well well ,you should have charged rent from him " His loud laughter echoed in the dark,silent place.
His laugh was like music to my ears !
"Stop falling for me Darling"
"Excuse me?Stop saying the things which are not even exists" Now he is irritating me.
His green eyes twinkled !
I felt like drowning myself into his green eyes.
"Don't become a cause of its beginning Darling !" He looked at me , his tone was calm,even though I practically yelled at him.
"I don't know what you are saying "
I just shrugged at him .
My stomach growled !
I tried to grab my bagpack behind and realized my backpack was not with me.
No !
Nononononononono
I walked near the green mud.
"Adi..it gulped down my bag ! "
I was on the verge of cry.I bought that bagpack with my first salary.So many emotions were attached to it.
"You filthy hungry mud.."
And my stomach growled again.
I heard him chuckling.
"I challenge you to gulp down the most light weighted thing"
My stomach growled again.
He kept chuckling.
"I condemn you to go to hell "
My stomach kept betraying me every time I cursed that shitty green mud.
Which made him bursted out in a big laugh.
He got up "Darling don't go anywhere I'll be back "
"But you will not be able to see in the darkness Adi"
"I've my ways Darling!"
And he walked away in the darkness.
In this situations,when someone leaves me alone in the darkness,I used to get freak out but with Aditya,It felt different.
I heard a thud noise !
I think he slipped while walking.
He yelled at me
"DARLING !!! STOP FALLING FOR ME!"
~~
