26 Weekend Trip (1/2)

It was a cloudy winter morning, last day of the week. As per the plan, everyone gathered at Thrishul's residence except Dikshith.

”Oh you and Punya are neighbours??” exclaimed Prajwal.

”Yes Senior, you didn't know??” Thrishul replied.

”I think none of us knew” said Tarak.

”We didn't keep it as a secret anyway, it's just we never spoke about it” explained Punya.

”We didn't blame you Punya, we understand” said Rahul. ”By the by do you have any sister?” he asked.

”No..... why?” she shrugged.

”I would try on her, if you had one” he winked at Prajwal and they did a hi-fi in air.

Everyone started laughing. Dikshith arrived in his car, one by one boarded both the cars. All three senior boys were in Deekshith car and 6 juniors in Thrishul's car. Disha was left behind. She wasn't ready to sit alone with boys, so she helplessly looked at Punya.

”Vedant you go to seniors car, let Disha join us here” she said.

”No wait, I'll go... I will get some boys stuff easily there” said Tarak and jumped out of the car.

”What's boys stuff?” asked Siri.

”Alcohol and nicotine, what else?” Punya chuckled softly.

”Punya are you Ok with all those stuff?” Thrishul asked. He was driving the car.

”Well it's personal choice, I'm not for or against it” she gave a diplomatic reply.

Thrishul looked at Vedant and both chuckled nodding their heads. Two and a half hour journey was filled with music, lots of chatting, small games between them and lots of fun. Both the cars reached Barkana falls by 10.

”Oh my God, what a beautiful falls?” exclaimed Siri. Disha got busy clicking pictures from her camera. They started to trek down the hill to reach the water. They reached in 25 minutes, water was pure and clean but very cold. As teenagers they didn't find it cold, Disha handed over her camera to Punya and got into water first... She started splashing water against Dikshith.

”Hey baby no... Its cold, don't do it” he held hands against his face and tried to save himself but when she didn't stop... He approached her slowly and lifted her in his arms and splashed her into the water. Everyone started laughing. Slowly one by one entered water... enjoyed by splashing water against each other, yelling names and took some group photos.

Afternoon they reached a restaurant with continental cuisine. Everyone ordered their own dishes, Punya ordered veg pasta.

Rahul cleared his throat and asked Punya, ”Don't you eat non-veg?”

”No I don't like the blood taste in them” she sighed.

”Prakruth enjoys non-veg food a lot, what will he do with this vegan girl?” he whispered to Prajwal who sat next to him.

”He'll adjust dude, moreover he loves her... not her cooking or cuisine. He knows cooking as well, if he wants he'll prepare it by himself” said Prajwal in a low tone.

”We're missing Prakruth yaar,” said Dikshith.

”Yes, though he's silent, he brings energy to the group” grinned Prajwal.

Thrishul didn't like his name taken, ”He must be busy dating Roshni” he passed a statement in mockery. Prajwal was severely annoyed by his statement but Rahul controlled him.

”You've mistaken dear, he is not in relationship with Roshni. In fact he hates her, but due to some obligation, he endures her” explained Dikshith.

”Yeah, even if he avoids her badly, she comes back to him finding reasons. He treats her well only because of their parents friendship. There's nothing else between them” added Disha.

”You both are couples, will definitely support couples” said Thrishul arguing.

”No dude, they're right. I saw Prakruth scream at Roshni in the field last week. He was warning her not to do something” said Vedant.

”How can anyone scream at a beautiful girl like Roshni, he must be stone hearted then” shrugged Tarak.
