12.Enjoying First trip

*********Abhi pov************

Our college days were going quickly, our sem -6 exam dates were announced. Everyone was busy in preparation for exams. Even if I am busy with assignments, projects, and other things. I never miss seeing my Jhanu. Without her notice, I started watching her. Nowadays I have become so possessive towards her. Even though she was talking with any of my classmates I mean boys. I was getting angry.

When I saw her talking with Jaideep, one of her classmates in the canteen. I got angry but I saw them discussing some subject. So I decided to talk to her. But she didn't give any reply to me but smiled at me. I wait for 5 minutes, but she was busy listening to Jai deep. For the first time in my life, someone neglected me that too Jhanu, for whom I am crazily in love. I felt dejected and left that place. I avoided her for what she did to me. She was trying to talk to me but I was very angry with her.

On the last day of my exam, I was waiting for Akash in the canteen then Jhanu came to talk to me. She was saying sorry. I know she was busy studying on that day. But I was becoming very possessive towards her.

When she said that when I was busy with my friends then I understand what she means.

She was talking about Ragini. How she behaved with Jhanu.....

I saw tears in her eyes. Then I understand how much I hurt her.

Then I got a brilliant idea. As she was asking me for forgiveness. I took advantage that she has to come for an Aruku trip with our friends.

When Jhanu said she will try to come. I felt very happy as if I achieved something.

Finally, I waiting for tomorrow's trip. I returned home. I didn't get sleep whether she will come or not.

If Jhanu don't come. What will I do?

The next morning, all our friends gathered at Vizag rly station. I was eagerly waiting for Vinay.

From behind I heard one person asking me, Abhi, I think you are waiting curiously for someone. I turned my head seriously. It was Akash.

I want to kill him. I am very tense whether Jhanu will come or not? Now, this idiot is teasing me.

" stop you, idiot, I am very tense by thinking whether Jhanu will come or not, and on another side you are irritating me," I said with an irritated tone.

", hey, buddy cool. Vinay, Jhanu, and her sister poorni are on the way to the station. Just now Madhu called them." Akash said with a smirk.

"Thank you," I said with a bright smile.

Within 10 minutes, Vinay comes to the station. My eyes were searching for Jhanu as she didn't come with Vinay. She was buying some books and a water bottle. She was looking very beautiful in a sandal color salwar with a perfect hairstyle.

" Do you forgive Abhi as I am coming with all of you? " Jhanu asked with her innocent face.

This girl is making crazy day by day.

The first time in my life, I am having a new feeling in me. I want to kiss her.

" Yes madam, I forgave you. Welcome as it is your first trip with us" I said with a bright smile.

All our friends boarded the train. Vinay introduced Jhanu' s sister, Poornima as it was the first time she was coming with us. Poornima is also simple and traditional like Jhanu.

Akash, Madhu were sitting side by side. Jhanu and Poornima were sitting together. I and Vinay were chatting with each other.

After 15 minutes our train started. Akash and Madhu were in their own world. As it takes 5 hours to reach Aruku valley, we started to play cards on the train. As our train started at morning 6 am, almost everyone is in a sleepy mood, but for me, sleep is far away. I was busy staring at Jhanu. She was busy reading novels. After sometime Madhu snatched the novel from Bhanu's hand and asked her why she is coming to the trip?

She looked at me and said for all of you.

"Then why are reading novel, let enjoy the trip," Madhu said Jhanu.

We start playing antakshar, cards and finally, we are near to our destiny, Aruku valley...
