Soulmates

26. The journey

Hey lovelies! 🌷
I'm back. All my exams are done now. Also, I couldn't post the chapters as I was busy with a wedding in my family.
Too much kaam yk😮‍💨
I have a few more chapters written that need a bit of editing and I'll do it as soon as possible and to compensate for no updates since March 25, I'll make sure that I post 3 chapters before this week ends. Also, you'll get a chapter per week after that as I want to finish the book as soon as possible and then focus completely on my academics as I'll be having my boards this year.
Keep loving and supporting.
I love y'all🫶

No target for votes and comments on this chapter.

Author's POV

The air was filled with loud noises of horns of the trains and chatter of the crowd present at the station. The teachers and the college staff were busy allotting seats to the students while the students were busy amongst themselves talking and planning about the trip.

Finally, the day had arrived and everyone was excited to know what this trip to Nainital beholds for them.

"I'm super excited for this trip. Can't wait!" Siya exclaimed while waiting in the queue for their seats to be allotted.

"Of Course you are excited, ye itna bada suitcase, ek backpack, ek handbag aur ek sling bag bharke samaan jo laaya hai tune aur Swati ne. Itna luggage that too, just for 4 days? If you both get tired, I'm not carrying any of you bags. Khud uthana padega apna samaan," Raghav said irritatedly.

"Tu kyu itna irritate ho raha hai?" Swati questioned him.

"Our trip is of 8 days. We have a 4-day stay at Nainital and 4 days of travelling, 2 days to reach Nainital and 2 days to come back. I don't even know how I'm gonna spend so much time inside a train?" He said.

"But Raghav, safar manzil se jyada suhana hota hai," Siya said in a dramatic way to which Raghav rolled his eyes.

"Guys, he has motion sickness. That's why he's worried about the journey," Aarav said and we burst out laughing.

"Bas itni si baat, here take this," Swati said, handing him some pills.

"You won't feel nauseous after consuming these pills," she said and Raghav smiled and immediately gulped a pill along with water.

Soon, their names were called out and they took their seats in the respective berths that they were allotted. Swati and Siya were in the same berth along with 2 of their classmates, Prisha and Reva.

While Sid, Aarav, Raghav and their classmates Anuv were in the berth just next to the girls.

Once everyone was seated, the train left the station and the journey began......

Later, the teachers took rounds to make sure everything was fine and then settled on their seats. After confirming that the teachers went back, all the students reconciled with their groups because trips aren't fun if you have to travel without playing games, singing songs and enjoying the journey with your friends.

Swati, Siya, Prisha and Reva went to the berth that was just next to them as the boys were already waiting for them.

"Finally, safar shuru ho gaya, yayyy!" Aarav exclaimed like a child, making everyone laugh at him.

"I'm getting complete YJHD vibes. The only difference is that they went to Manali, we are going to Nainital," Reva said excitedly.

"But pahado mein toh jaa rahe hai na, that still counts," Anuv said.

"Yesss!" everyone exclaimed together.

"Guys, kuch khane ke liye hai kya? I'm hungry," Raghav asked with a sheepish smile.
