"Manky are you sure about this step? I will be screwed if anything goes wrong" Dhriti spoke out nervously at the railway platform.

"It's 11:45 pm,Exactly at midnight our train will arrive.Dhriti don't overthink,we are not doing anything wrong. Did you pack all your stuff? Did you write some note?" Mayank asked.

"Yupp I have packed up everything with me and I have a secret note for Papa under his pillow, he won't tell anyone anything until we reach safely to our destination" Dhriti replied.

"Shatabdi Express has arrived to platform 3,passengers are requested to board the train" An announcement ecohed at the station.

Dhriti and Mayank sat in the train.

"We don't have tickets,TC will throw us" Dhriti spoke scared.

"I have the tickets,don't worry" Mayank spoke out.

"When did you buy tickets?" Dhriti questioned.

"1 week ago when you helped me with hospital bills" Mayank quipped.

"Thanks Manky" Dhriti spoke sitting on the chair of the Shatabdi Express with seating car chair seats.

Mayank sat next to her.

"Show me the tickets?" TC spoke out.

"Mayank Arora and Dhriti Singhal" The TC ticked in the list of passengers after searching their names.

"Going for trip?" A middle aged woman asked Dhriti.

"Hmm...we are run away couple" Mayank replied savagely.

"Mayank,what are saying?" Dhriti glared Mayank.

The middle aged woman looked them in horror.

"I am not kidnapping her" Mayank replied back to the woman.

Both dozed off leaning on each other's shoulders.

"Station has arrived" The TC coughed aloud to wake Dhriti and Mayank.

"We have arrived Senorita" Mayank whispered in Dhriti's ear.

"What are you doing Shewta!" Krish exclaimed closing his eyes as Shweta unzipped her pants,ready to peal off her skinny jeans.

"Hey,don't be shy! See it yourself .Don't worry I gotcha bikini wax too" Shweta chuckled.

"Shweta don't remove your pants" Krish shrieked angrily with his eyes totally closed.

"Don't you want proof of virginity?" Shweta zipped up her pants laughing.

"It's not funny okay!" Krish growled.

"What happened huh? Weren't you asking about my virginity? I had to give proof of my virginity to you isn't it?" Shweta spoke sarcastically.

"Forget it!" Krish spoke out with irritation.

"Okay but since you are asking me about my virginity certificate then I too need a proof of your virginity" Shweta spoke sarcastically.

"What! What do mean?" Krish stuttered.

"Show me...show me the proof,come on down be shy" Shweta tweaked her eyebrows which were threaded perfectly.

"You are insane! How the hell will you test my virginity? If I am saying that I am virgin then I am!" Krish exclaimed.

"How can I believe you?" Shweta spoke playfully.

"No one did ever touch me is that clear !" Krish groaned.

"Oh so nobody was interested in you and vice versa that means either you are a gay or impotent" Shweta snapped back.

"Don't cross your limits!" Krish thundered.

'You too,be in your fucking limits" Shweta yelled out.

"From the auto rickshaws to the famous blue-line buses, everything runs on the eco-friendly Compressed Natural Gas here" Mayank beamed sitting in the yelling and green colored auto.

"You so happy here,after all it's the city of your college life ,IIT Delhi" Dhriti spoke out.

"Yes I love Delhi, Center of everything, means you can get everything here in every price range. You can buy an Armani jeans of 50k from Malls like Select City Walk or local jeans in 300 INR from Palika Bazar" Mayank spoke with a smile.

"We need a PG to stay" Dhriti spoke.

"Kamla Nagar houses so many PGs and flats. The cost ranges from 8-20k depending upon the facilities one seeks" Mayank replied.

"This is the PG where I used to live, the land lady was so kind.Often my girlfriend was to come to meet me and my land lady never objected. She was a window and lived on the ground floor and I stayed on the first floor " Mayank showed a yellow colored house to Dhriti.

"Sorry,the land lady passed away last year and we are the new owners of the house " A man with moustache explained to Mayank.

"Manky we will find another house " Dhriti consoled him.

Dhriti and Mayank saw a few houses and they finally like one which was in their budget.

"I only take family or married couples on rent " A woman in her forties spoke.

"But..." Dhriti stuttered.

"Yes we both are married" Mayank lied.

"Okay...so here is your key and pay your rent on time" the land lady Namrita spoke out.

"Manky why did you lie!" Dhriti fumed getting inside the 1 BHK apartment.

"Aren't we partners?" Mayank smirked.

Dhriti glared him,her nostrils flared in anger.

"We are partners in everything in childhood like playing, dancing,pranking aren't we? Look you have helped me and now it's my turn to help you and it is just a matter of 2 months Dhirti after your trials ,I will return to Agra. You were about to give up your basketball dream when Massi slapped you but you need to remember that until I am alive your dreams can't die" Mayank spoke out.

"Thank you Manky but I am afraid how everyone will react.Papa would have read my note and kept it secret but our mothers would be creating ruckus" Dhriti replied.

"Poor Mausaji how will he handle your mother" Mayank chuckled thinking about the scenario at Agra.

"Don't worry Papa knows how to handle her partner ,he is doing it since 3 decades and this time too he will manage" Dhriti smiled and Mayank laughed in response.

～～～

"Girish,I always used to say that Dhriti should tie a rakhi to Mayank but no they didn't tie one saying we are friends.Look today they fled away blackening our faces" Mayank's mother screamed out.

"Kaashi, you too have spoit Dhriti. She didn't even think about our prestige and ran away. If wish Dhriti was dead on the day she was born,it's better to be childless then having a daughter like her" Dhaani wept.

"My daughter is alive don't ramble nonsense and keep trust in Dhriti,she won't ever break our trust" Kaashi replied.

"Jija ji,I won't approve of their relationship that's for sure" Mayank's mother declared.
