They were getting ready for the bonfire night.

Suddenly Sia entered the boy's room.

Sia: Yaar tum logon ne hmara hair conditioner dekha hai kya?

Arjun: Maine to nahin dekha. Ruko, Raghav naha raha hai. Usse puchta hoon.

As they were talking Raghav came out of the bathroom with a towel around his torso. Sia turned around swiftly. Raghav smiled at her innocence but again decided to tease her.

Raghav: Kya ho gaya Sia?

Sia: Kapde pehno Raghav.

Raghav: Arry, abhi to main comb karunga tab pehnunga.

Sia: Arjun hum baad me aate hain. Conditioner mile to bata dena.

Raghav: Wait, what!!! Vo shampoo nahin tha???

Sia: Kya bol rahe ho tum?

Raghav: Arry maine tumhare room ke table se ek shampoo ki bottle uthai thi. TRESemme ki. Main lana bhool gaya tha islie. But us me se lather formation nahi hua yaar.

Arjun mentally face palmed himself.

Sia: Tumhe shampoo and conditioner me difference nahi pata hai kya?

Raghav: Accha koi difference hota hai kya?

Sia: Oh God, baal kharab ho jaenge saare. Jao phir se nahao. And is baar shampoo se nahana. Hmara conditioner to poora khatam kar die hoge tum?

Raghav: Actually... Haan!!!!!

Sia stomped away to her room.

She again packed her bags, they were about to leave in an hour.

Arjun: Umm... Guys.. kuch baat karni hai.

Sia: Haan bolo.

Arjun: Actually, vo humko and Aliyah ko thoda 'us' time chahie tha.....

Raghav: Bol le aage.

Aliyah: To hum dono ne decide kia hai ki hum dono ek rented bike se jaenge and tum dono car se aana.

Arjun: Sorry guys.

Raghav: Ek baat bata venue vahi hai na. Matlab tum log ka koi aur plan to nahi hai?

Arjun: Nahi yaar bilkul nahi.

Raghav: Phir thik hai. Any problem, Sia?

Sia: Yes, you. How can you leave me with this jerk?

Raghav: Woah, I am not a jerk.

Sia: Haan vo to pata hi hai.

Raghav: Ok, let's end this. Main nahin karunga tumko disturb. Ok???

Sia: Yeah, I have my fingers crossed.

Soon they left.

After waving to Aliyah and Arjun, Raghav and Sia sat in the Jeep.

Raghav: Sia, you hate me??

Sia: Umm... Why?

Raghav: Batao na please.

Sia: No.... I guess.

Raghav: To tumne mujhe jerk kyun kaha?

Sia: You irritate me a lot.

Raghav: Well sorry.

Sia: It's alright.

Raghav: Aaj tum gaane nahin sun rahi ho?

Sia: Haan aaj hum tumhari awaz sun rahe hain.

Raghav: Aaj irritating nahi lag rahi hai meri awaz?

Sia: Lag to rahi hai but thodi kam.

Raghav: Pata hai Sia tum bahut alag ho. Tumhare saath maza aata hai. Pehle mujhe Saloni and group accha lagta tha. But ab lagta hai tumlog ke saath me Raghav Oberoi hoon. In logon ke saath mujhe Arun Oberoi ke bete kaisa behave karna padta tha. Mujhe ' son of Arun Oberoi ' ka tag nahin pasand.

(Raghav's old group)

Sia: Tum apne papa se itne detached kyun ho? Matlab you rarely talk about your family.

Raghav: Main detached nahin hoon Sia. Main bas unlogo ke saath comfortable nahin hoon. Mere dad business tycoon, ' The Arun Oberoi '. Meri mom unse separate ho gayi thi soon after I was born. Maine kabhi unka pyaar paya hi nahin. Dad bahut busy rehte the to kabhi unke saath bhi time nahin spend kar paya. Bachpan me ghar ki walls se baat kar ke bada hua hoon main. Apne servants me sirf apni nanny se baat karta tha. Jab bada hua to vo chali gayi. Main bahut lonely raha hoon. Haan ye tha ki jo cheez mangi vo turant mili. Attention bahut mila hai. Isilie spoilt bhi hoon and isilie mujhe kisi se behave karna bhi nahin aata. Hum logon ki first meeting ladai se hi hui thi. Bas ek Arjun tha pehle jisko har baat bata deta hoon. Ab tumlog bhi ho.

Sia looked at him confused. She first thought that he was joking, but there was no hint of laughter in his eyes.

Raghav: Kya dekh rahi ho?

Sia: Yahi ki tum itne sab se go through ho kar bhi itna normal kaise reh sakte ho?

Raghav: Bas ab tum to janti hi ho mujhko. I am The Raghav Oberoi.

Sia rolled her eyes and he laughed.

Raghav: Tum bhi kuch batao apne baare me.

Sia: As compared to your multiplex life hamari life single screen hai. Ghar me hum hain, papa hain and mom hain. Hum dad se bahut close hain. Har week hum logon ki outing hoti hai. I have a simple and happy life. No complaints and no demands.

Raghav: Agar aisi single screen life mujhe mile to main daudta hua aaoon.

Soon they reached at the spot. It was really beautiful. Arjun had a good taste in traveling. He had decided to go to Lake Mist.

There were a lot of people, mostly couples sitting near the fire. One of them had a guitar and he was playing it. Some of the couples were dancing. All were having a merry time. Aliyah and Arjun reached soon and set up their tents. They also huddled near the fire.

Soon Aliyah and Arjun snuggled into one blanket. Couple goals after all.

Raghav the careless had forgotten his blanket and he was damn cold. He was sitting on a log near the fire but it was doing little to comfort him. He hugged himself to keep away from cold winds. Sia saw him and was in a dilemma whether or not to ask him inside her blanket. Soon she decided to ask him.

Sia: Raghav, tum ye blanket share kar sakte ho hamare saath.

Raghav: Nahin, rehne do. Itni thand nahi hai.

Sia: Raghav zid mat karo. Kulfi jam jaegi tumhari. Aajao. And don't worry main koi aisi waisi harkat nahin karungi.

She winked at him.

Raghav: Uh huh. Someone is being naughty.

Sia: Don't get your hopes high.

Raghav: Well, umeed par hi to duniya kayam hai.

Sia blushed and Raghav smiled. They enjoyed looking at others and of course at the beauty in front of them. Sia's thoughts went to the conversation she had with Raghav. Raghav never showed any emotions such as these. He never opened up to others.

On the other hand, Raghav was also thinking the same. He never opened up to anybody then how come he told all this to Sia.

Subconsciously both looked at each other at the same time and it created a beautiful eye lock. This made them little awkward, so they just smiled and turned again.

Their trance was broken when a guy came and asked Sia for a dance.

Guy: Hi, I am Sanam. May I have a dance with you?

Sia: Hi Sanam, I am Sia. I guess dancing with me will be a very bad idea. I am a very bad dancer.

Sanam: Well, I am not a good dancer myself. And I have heard that two negatives make a positive, so let's try.

Raghav <in his mind>: Kya gandi line maar raha hai ye??? Aise to Sia isko chappal se maregi.

Sia: Yeah sure.

Raghav <in his mind>: Hey Bhagwaan, matlab ladkiyon ko cheesy lines hi pasand hoti hain. Tumse ye umeed nahi thi Sia.

Sia who had gone at a distance, turned towards Raghav and looked at him with questioning eyes.

Sia: Kuch kaha kya tumne?

Raghav: Nahin to.

Sia shrugged and turned towards Sanam, her dance partner.

They decided to have a slow dance.

First song of theirs was, Pehla Nasha from Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar. It sounded very different on guitar.

This earned a lot of claps and hooting to them. After the dance both gracefully accepted it.

Audience demanded for one more performance. Sanam looked at Sia expectantly but she denied politely. Aliyah again asked her to dance once more. This time she agreed.

Song started, this time it was Baarish from Half Girlfriend.

They swayed their bodies in sync. No one from the group knew that Sia was such a good dancer.

After the dance again they were showered with praise. Suddenly someone from the crowd shouted, ' Made for each other. ' This made Raghav feel jealous and Sia fidgeted uncomfortably.

Soon she was back at her place besides Raghav.

This time Raghav noticed a girl staring at him. This was very common for him. He got up and went towards her.

Raghav: Hi, I am Raghav.

Girl: Zoya.

Raghav: If you promise to not hurt me with your heels, I will love to have a dance with you.

Zoya: And if you promise not to take any advantage, I wouldn't mind dancing with you.

Raghav loved this comeback. He was quite impressed. He held her hand and brought her in the center.

The song started. It was a slow song, O Saathiya from Sweetie Weds NRI.

Soon Raghav was bored of the slow song. He stopped abruptly.

Raghav: Yaar, main bore ho gaya hoon itne slow gaane se. Kuch tadakta bhadakta sa lagao.

The guitarist gave him a thumbs up and started playing, Kudi Gujrat Di from the same movie. This brought Raghav in to action. He danced really well with Zoya.

This earned him alot of applause. He gracefully accepted them. Then he was back to his original place.

Later Arjun and Aliyah also danced on a couple's song.

After some time they were very tired and they retired to their tents.

They had to decide for tomorrow too. After all Sia was going to meet Ruskin Bond.

AUTHOR'S NOTE

Hi people,

Finally Raghav opened up to her. He became all Raghav the original one. Guess they are falling but maybe they don't know.

Also a big news is that I have entered this story in wattys 2018. Please do vote and show your love.

Let's see if Sia will be able to meet Ruskin Bond or not. What will happen to Aliyah and Arjun?

Somebody messaged me that the last chapter was more about Aliyarjun than about SiRa. To my dear, becharon ko kahin to importance denge. Ab hum in dono ko ditch to nahi kar sakte na.

Until then,
Love Love ♥️
