Dhara, how many members are there in the group? asked the prince.
“Fourteen to GB Track and 25 to Manali” said Dhara.
“The tour starts from 5th April, close your booking now”
The youth between eighteen and twenty-five years of age, who had come from Delhi on Friday night, reached Atta in the morning and was divided into two groups. The passengers going to the Great Britain track, after having some refreshments at seven in the morning, proceeded with Rajkumar in the tempo passenger, while Bhumi went to Manali with his companions in the Volvo.
Geetika, who was riding in the Volvo, was now looking at the passengers traveling with her. The group of four youngsters sitting in the back seat didn’t seem keen to talk to anyone. Just in front of them, the lover and lover couple also seemed absorbed in themselves. The two girls sitting in front of her, Ragini and Seema, who were also close friends, sent a sweet smile after seeing Geetika.
The two young men sitting in front of him, Vaibhav and Aniket, after giving the 10th board exam, were seen busy blogging in a relaxed manner.
Rishabh, who was sitting with Rajkumar, has also come on a solo journey like him. Who is still busy understanding the intricacies of tracking. Everyone on this trip, from different places, has been connected through the travel company and introduced themselves to each other last night.
Geetika started feeling dizzy while moving between online and offline jobs, hence she joined this trip of two nights and three days. No previous identification. Think let’s try a solo trip. Have done many trips with family and friends.
After allotting rooms to everyone, Rajkumar told her, “Another prisoner was solitary but could not come, enjoy the bedroom alone.”
“It’s good, I really want to live alone” Geetika became happy.
After a few hours of trekking, everyone was amazed by the view of the waterfall.
Ragini and Seema called him and said “Let’s make reels”.
“Call Richa too, let her boyfriend breathe freely for some time too” said Geetika.
The three laughed.
“Didn’t you bring anyone, no boyfriend or girlfriend? Seema said.
“I don’t have a boyfriend, and I’ve never had one.”
“A virgin? That too in this time” said Ragini with surprise and sarcasm. Geetika was left heartbroken.
“You were going to make reels, then why did you start gossiping” Rishabh came and said.
Richa was also called, then Rishabh held the phone and the four danced to their heart’s content.
Seeing them, Vaibhav and Aniket also came and started dancing and singing together.
Apart from this kind of fun, the four young men sitting at a distance had no time to mix drunkenness in cigarettes and light them.
After some time, while drinking tea, Seema said
“These people have only come here to get drunk, away from the sight of their family members.”
“I don’t say hello to anyone, I just start smoking in the morning,” Ragini frowned.
“Rishabh, you alone? “Have you come on the trip after the break?” Richa asked.
“You are with your girlfriend,” said Rishabh.
“We have a casual relationship, if he ever likes someone he can date her,” says Richa.
“and you?” Rishabh asked.
“Told you, we got together, we don’t need to get back together too.”
“What’s wrong?” Geetika laughed.
“By the way, what’s your body count?” Richa asked Rishabh.
“I Think Fifteen Eight or Fifty Nine”
On hearing this, Seema, Ragini and Richa started laughing loudly.
“What’s funny? His weight will be this much” said Geetika.
“Google what’s my body count, mine is eight, maybe it’s nine today” she said staring at Rishabh.
The first thing Geetika came into the room was to Google that word. Richa has had relationship with so many people, she was surprised and worried.
Next day everyone left for the GB track. Going through the thin narrow path, everyone was holding each other.
Geetika notices that Rishabh is walking with her to escape from Richa’s grip.
After some time, the snow began to fall. There was a strange excitement in the atmosphere. Seeing the open plain above, everyone started jumping in the snow.
Everyone had definitely slipped once. Here inside the tent house, there was also an arrangement for tea and breakfast with a hot fireplace.
Everyone started telling true and false stories about their breakup.
Apart from the four bookie boys, Geetika and Rishabh were also sitting quietly, the rest had more than one story to tell.
That night too, Geetika sat on her bed and continued to think for a long time. Some youths were still frozen around the bonfire outside the home stay.
Just then there was a knock on the door.
“Can I take away your loneliness tonight?” Richa’s boyfriend Mohit was standing with a beer in his hand.
“No” Geetika frowned.
“Let’s all go to our rooms” Rajkumar said to everyone and then said to Geetika “Any problem?”
Before Geetika could say anything, Mohit said, “No means no, good night.”
The prince placed his hand on her shoulder and moved forward taking her with him.
Geetika closed the room and started wondering if Mohit is alone, then where has Richa gone. Vaibhav Aniket is still a child, the four of them sit surrounded by the bonfire, drunk and absorbed in themselves.
Is Richa with Rishabh? He took a deep breath and Rishabh also joined their group. Why can’t she think like all these? She has come on a solo trip but there is a joint family at home. Grandfather, grandmother, uncle, aunt and five brothers and sisters. If she has come here after escaping the crowd at home and work, it is as if she had been imprisoned in the cave of the old beliefs. There was no place for moral values here and his thinking was constantly under attack. He thought that the sages used to meditate and meditate in high, quiet, secluded hills and get the bridegroom easily. If no Apsara broke the penance. In today’s environment, keeping yourself in check is an even harder penance.
The next morning everyone got ready and went out to see the sights around. Geetika saw Rishabh that he was walking away from Richa like before. Richa was swinging back hanging on Mohit’s shoulders. What could have happened between Richa and Rishabh last night? One night stand? Why is she losing her mind? Thinking this, Geetika focused her attention on taking pictures.
At seven in the evening everyone left for Delhi in the Volvo returning from Manali.
Geetika sat with Bhoomi.
You and Rajkumar are business partners, right? Geetika asked.
“Yes and we are both living in a relationship for the last three years. If this business and relationship is established, then we will get married and settle down, otherwise I will change both of us” saying this, Bhoomi smiled innocently. Geetika also replied smilingly but a lot was rising in her mind.
Even after reaching home, she remained indomitable.
Two days later Rishabh’s message came.
Geetika thought it would be better if I stopped him by telling him two things.
“hello”
“You’re right, you weren’t in a good mood on the way back.”
“Leave it to me, you enjoyed a lot with Richa.”
“She had followed me like Dracula and with great difficulty I left her with Mohit. He too was sitting fiercely inside Seema and Ragini’s room dressed as Dracula. From there Richa picked him up and took him away.
“What kind of people are these? I thought I was back.”
“And me too” said Rishabh and both of them laughed.
