After coming back hotel, we took the dinner. Everyone decided to arrange firework after dinner. After dinner, we took rest for one hour and we gathered at firework place. We decided to play antakshari. We divided into two teams. One team was all girls and other team was all boys. Although, we girls were less than boys but we were winning. We enjoyed the game.
I felt my mobile was vibrating. I looked at it screen. It was Ramesh. I excused myself and went a side for hearing call.
I answered the call, "hello, what's up?"
"I thought you won't give answer your call." I heard his laugh.
I laughed, "so everything is alright?" I asked with concerned.
"Rashmi, I will handle here everything so don't need to worry. Enjoy yourself."
I sighed, "I am doing it."
"Good" he appreciated me. He asked, "have you taken your medicine?"
"Yeah, at afternoon and I will take it at night."
"It's already 10 pm. When did you take it?"
"Ok sir, I am going to take it. Bye." I smiled.
"Bye, and take care." He laughed and cut the call.
I took a deep breath and went to Sid. I asked one of staff member about Sid. He told me and I thanked him.
I went to Sid cabin. I knocked the door. He said come in. I entered the cabin. He was doing some paperwork. I sat on the couch and waited to finish his work.
He looked towards me and asked, "Everyone is outside. What are you doing here?"
I made my face, "Ramesh called me and recalled me for my medicine."
He looked tense, "sorry, I forget your medicine. Actually, I am not used of it."
I smiled, "it's ok. You know that he is always like it. I have to take it at night. I can take it anytime so don't worry."
He smiled and opened his desk door. He took out my medicine bottle and took one tablet and a glass of water.
I sighed, "you know I hate it? I don't know when I will get rid of it?"
He came near me and sat opposite to me. He gave me medicine and water and smiled, "you have not any choice."
I took it from his hand and gulped with water. I made my face and nodded.
I put my head the back of couch and told him, "I am tired of Everything. Now I want to go a place where I have no tension. But I know there is not such place. So there is not use of any type of desire." I laughed myself.
"Why are you always so practical? You can think of such place. May be, one day you will find that place." He sighed and smiled himself. I looked at his face. He continued, "you know I was just like you. I don't believe in love. But after meeting Reema, my life got changed. Now you know I am lucky person on the universe."
I laughed, "here you are wrong. You are not like me because I believe in love." I thought deeply, "but it's true I never feel what is love. But I know two persons. They felt the love and they were in a lot of pain." I smirked, "that's why my heart might be protect me from that pain."
He laughed, "you are seriously genius but here you are wrong. When you feel the true love you can't stop yourself to love."
I smirked, "I don't think so I will feel that type of love in this life."
"Nobody can say it surely." He commented.
We heard the knock on the door. It was shlok who came into cabin. He asked to sid, "when are you going home? It's already late."
"Within some mintues" he answered polietly.
Shlok looked at me and told, "you are here and your cousins are looking me."
I asked, "why?"
He replied, "I don't know."
I nodded and got up from couch, "bye Sid. Do your work and say hello to Reema regards me."
He smiled, "why don't you say hello her personally?"
I made my face, "I wish I say her personally but you know I am tired and I have to sleep now." I stretched my body.
He laughed, "ok bye and good night."
I laughed and went to where were others.
They were enjoying themselves. Deep bhaiya looked at me and asked, "where were you?"
"Ramesh had to discuss something. And now I am tired that's why I am going to sleep."
Ravi asked with shocked, "what? It's only 11 pm and you are going to sleep. You are use to sleep late at night."
I thought for excuses and replied, "but now I sleep at time. So good night everyone and enjoy."
Harsh bhaiya opened his mouth, "Rashmi but..."
I didn't listen them and left to my room. I wanted to join them but I couldn't. There was a risk. That's why it's better to precaution. And I didn't know how many days I was stuck with them.
I hit by something hard. As I looked up, it was shlok. He asked, "where are you going?"
I replied, "I am going to sleep."
He asked, "did you meet your cousins?"
I nodded, "yeah, I told them. Good night, I have to go."
He nodded and I came to my room. I changed my clothes into night suit. I laid on the bed and thought about suhana. She was really happy with Rohan. It means now I didn't have to worry about her. Now she forgot about past and started her new life.
********
The following day, I woke up early morning. It was my morning walk time. Sanaya woke up by noise. She rubbed her eyes and looked at me. She asked with sleeping voice, "why are you getting up early morning? Now you are on vacation. So go to bed."
I smiled and replied, "you sleep. I have to go my morning walk. Good night."
She smiled and slept again.
I slowly closed the door and went outside. Only hotel staff were doing their work. I went to garden and put headphone on my ear and walked slowly.
I was enjoying morning fresh air with songs. I hear someone voice that's why I turned back. It was shlok. I turned song playlist off on my mobile. I smiled, "good morning"
He smiled, "good morning. What are you doing here so early?"
I smirked, "I want to ask you same question."
He replied, "I am on morning walk. But as I know you, you are not early morning person."
I challenged him, "how can you say that?"
He smirked, "last time, I remembered I made you wake up at 10 am. It's hardly one month ago."
I rubbed my back of neck, "Actually, last time I was tired because of work but now, I am on leave."
He pretended to think, "ok, I consider it. But are there other reason to wake up early?"
I tried to smile, "what can be other reason?"
we talked normally. After 30 minutes, I came back to my room. I was missing my bed but I couldn't do anything about it. Sanaya also woke up. We got ready for breakfast.
During breakfast, we decided what to do that day. We are going outside for picnic.
There was a good spot for picnic. It was hill and lake. It was famous.
Sid didn't let me eat unhealthy. He specifically ordered to make for me. I gave him angry look but I knew there was no use.
Maya bhabhi commented, "he takes care of you a lot."
I made my face, "I knew he was only following order. I didn't know why Ramesh let me come here."
Sid smiled, "thanks for understanding me."
Deep bhaiya suspected, "why does Ramesh order you for taking care of her? It's not like that she is sick."
I coughed and drank to water to ease myself. Sid looked towards me for doing anything. I smiled, "Actually, you know I always eat restaurant food. That's why Ramesh tries me to avoid unhealthy food. You know he always like that."
Rihan bhaiya asked, "He is your manager, right?"
I nodded, "yeah, but he is like my brother. He is always with me in hard time."
Ravi said, "I am sorry. We should be with you that time but we were not. I am thankful to him."
I smiled, "All of you are my family and my strength that's why you don't need to be appolized." I tried to ease the suitation, "I think I am getting emotional which doesn't suit my personality. I forget that I have to discuss something to Ramesh. Please excuse me."
They nodded and I left with smile. Sid was following me.
When we came out. Sid called me from back, "Rashmi"
I stopped. He came in front of me, "you have opportunity to tell them about your condition. Why didn't you tell them?"
I smiled, "we are on trip. They are happy and I don't want to ruin their mood." I sighed, "actually, I don't know how will they react after knowing? I might not handle it."
"Are you thinking to not tell them?" He asked.
"I don't know and please don't try to let them know with my permission. And next time, be careful. Otherwise, You know what can be happen next time?" I didn't want to talk him like it.
He smiled, "Are you giving me warning or advise?"
"It's on you."
He smirked, "it's nice to meet you again. I was missing that voice. We don't like to see you weak."
I rubbed my head hardly, "give me my medicine. I am losing my temper."
He took out bottle from his pocket, "here" I thanked him and left. I came back my room. And gulped medicine with water.
I laid on bed. After some seconds, I was feeling relaxed.
I called to Ramesh. He answered after two rings, "good morning, how are you?"
I ignored and asked, "what do you want?"
"What happened?"
"You already knew what happened."
He took a deep breath, "Rashmi, we are only helping you. Its good if they will know soon about your condition. We can't take risk."
I almost cried, "for God sake, it's my life and it's my decision to tell them or not. Why do you want to mess up?"
"I can understand you but...."
"You don't understand it. That's why I am ordering you to let me handle it myself."
There was a silent. I couldn't think properly.
"I am sorry for crossing my limit. But you should know that you are precious for us and we can't afford to lose you. I wish Tushar should be here with you. If he gets to know about your condition, what will he do? You know better than me." He cut the call.
I sat on bed with a loud. I felt someone was holding me. I looked at that person. He asked, "are you alright?"
There was tears into my eyes, "I don't know."
He rubbed my arms and hugged me, "it's ok. Everything will be alright."
I was feeling relaxed. We stayed there. When I got my sense back, I said, "Shlok"
"Hmm"
"What did you hear?"
"You was giving someone order. Don't worry I won't ask you anything."
I took a deep breath and stayed away from him, "please don't tell anyone what you hear."
"Can I ask you something?"
I nodded.
"Are you in trouble or something like it?"
I sighed, "you can say it. But I know I will find a way soon."
He smiled, "I have trust on you."
"Thanks. By the way, where are everyone?"
"They are outside. Do you want to join them or you want to stay here?" He asked with concern.
"I want to take rest. I will be there soon."
"Then I am here for you."
I tried to smile, "I am fine shlok. I need to think something."
"Are you nervous around me?"
I felt my cheek hot. He was not first guy with whom I was alone. But I felt different around him, "why would I be?"
"Then I am staying here with you." He smirked.
"Let's go. I want to join them now." I left the room with waiting his answer.
