The bags were filled, two bags to be exact one that looked so huge and the other a sack, as large as that of Divya herself. She couldn't understand how she was going to handle herself with so much luggage? She had told her mom that she won't be needing so many clothes, but who was going to listen to her. Akshi let out a huge huff as she called Nandini asking her whereabouts.

"We are at the sea link, will be there soon. What about you?" Nandini asked.

"I have reached the station, I am standing right where we had met last year. I can see a few of the juniors, rest I don't know." Divya replied glaring at Parth who was smiling goofily at her, the straw of some milkshake that he had been drinking since the last 10 min still in his mouth.

"Okay we will be there soon."

"yeah please do come soon, I can't tolerate these idiots any more." The moment she said that, Divya saw her brother walking towards her with a can of coke and chips. She wondered if her brother and Parth were here for a picnic themselves.

"So where are the others?" Dhruv asked.

"They are coming, and I guess you two can leave now I can go from here myself." Divya said as she looked around in a hope that she might somehow meet or see someone from her group.

"You sure? We can wait if you want." Parth finally let go off that straw and spoke. "No I am completely fine, moreover if you guys stay here longer I might actually start feeling home sick and would want to go back with you..." she gave him once over and commented, "and moreover I don't know what all new things you might get fascinated over here."

The two gave each other a sarcastic smile and decided to leave as Divya walked inside the terminal, deciding it would be better to wait for the other in the waiting area.

After about a long while finally the girls arrived and began squealing, for all the while that she had her brother and Parth by her side, she couldn't find herself getting excited, but seeing how the time was coming closer she felt herself getting excited almost on the verge of jumping around.

The girls began clicking pictures as then Simran introduced them to her friends, it was during that while Dev walked up to them along with Aman and handed Nandini a few bags, Aman himself went closer to Nandini and whispered something, then he saw her standing there almost confused. Waving at her he came to her and said,

"These bags have all the liquor, and other things that ma'am shouldn't get acquainted to...so please take care of them."

"I will, but yes , tell Dev that we didn't get his red bull, it's not there in any of the counters as well where are the rest of them?"

"They all will be coming directly at the platform. You guys wait here, I will be back in a few." The two along with Dhaval walked off to somewhere only God knew, leaving the rest to mingle around with Simran's friend. However Divya didn't like the way the boys had gone off just like that, it gave her a negative feeling, she feared the lot wouldn't come there on time. Thankfully, after about 20 mins she saw Aman and Dev making their way towards them, Nandini handed over the bags to them as they all began walking towards the platform. Since the train was to come on the platform no 2 and both Rohit and Parth had gone home, it was difficult for Divya to handle her bags, she was still struggling with the bags, when one of Simran's friend walked up to her and asked,

"Shall I give you a hand with this?" Divya looked up at him quite reluctantly; she wasn't sure if she could really take help from him, her eyes wandered off to simran who nodded her head slightly as if understanding her predicament. Divya smiled at the guy whose name she couldn't really collect and handed the suitcase to him.

"Thank you."

"That's alright, I just worried who is going to look after them during the trip."

"I know, I was quite reluctant to get this myself, but mom couldn't have it any other way." Divya felt embarrassed. She knew she had a whole lot of luggage for a trip similar to one that she had already been to, but her mom and she herself preferred to be prepared on this prior, and now she had a whole lot of things for even her liking.

Soon the whole group reached the platform from very far off itself Divya could spot the boys and even Madhav, as usual he was in his almost worn out baggy shirt and long track pants. She looked down at what she was wearing. The yoga pants and a black tshirt were quite comfortable for the next almost 48 hours of travel that they had in front of them. She was glad this time as well she wasn't going to wear jeans during long travels.

Walking up to the group she called out to Aman, "Did we get our seats allotted?"

"No not yet."

" Aman go talk to her," Divya pointed towards Miss Jain and continued, "this list that she has sent on the group does not have yours, mine, Rishi's and Atharva's name."

Aman gave her a weird look as he cursed the coordinator and walked ahead to talk with them, but even before he could she saw Madhav himself calling him asking him how many people are there, divya herself raised her hand a bit to say Hi to him but he turned around and began talking with Miss Jain once again.

"Your bag." Divya turned around to look at Simran's friend who was smiling at her. Nodding her head at him she thanked him and was about to enquire about his name when she heard Madhav calling Nandini.

"how many of you are there?" Nandini herself turned towards Divya as the two then began counting how many of them were there.

"We are 7 of us." Divya answered and walked closer to the group instructing Natasha to look after her bag.

"what is it?' she asked Madhav, who just nodded his head and began talking with the coordinator and the tour operator. Divya felt sad for the nonchalance with which Madhav treated her, though she thought how can she be so stupid may be it was just that he was busy.

It took about 15 more minutes to get the things settled down and the seats were allotted, their group was given about 12 seats that were together, while Simran and the juniors were given in another compartment. By the time they had got settled in they were 17 of them. However as soon as they started off from the station none of the boys could be seen around. DIvya's heart was thudding aloud and her stomach was growling with hunger. There was anxiety, nervousness, and the need to fill her belly all at once. She feared she wouldn't do something really stupid at that moment.

Quickly making a few calls to her parents and aunt who had asked her to call her, she finally paid attention to what all was going around when Madhav and sanket came and dropped down in the seats.

"where are the rest?' Divya asked.

"They are with Ma'am discussing the food and other things... hey sit straight I want to see what's written on your top." Divya strained her back as she herself looked a\down at what was written. She had shopped a lot these two days and didn't really know what all stuff she herself had.

"utterly. Better. Late. Then. never... niceee" the group let out a chuckle as Madhav then leaned on Nandini who was almost squashed because of his weight. One by one everyone began to come back to their seat as Nandini opened her Aaloo paratha, DIvya took out her chole and roti and began serving out to everyone.

The whole compartment had become a loud mess, on one side Atharva was seated on the upper berth with the Bluetooth speaker on and the song "Yaar mod do" was on constant repeat. Right in front of her Manav was hogging on food like he hadn't eaten anything for years. Beside her Sanket had finally given into her urges to have one bite of chole and now was as well hogging on it with almost everything, parathas, the bread, the roti and at times even eating it just like that as if it was rice.

The food was about to get over when Divya asked "guys are you all done? Because I will be keeping these for Aman and Madhav. Where the hell are the two of them?"

"they are with Ma'am chatting about." Dev explained as he enjoyed his aaloo paratha. "they said something about, if they don't go now she would be here later on when we all would be having fun."

About an hour later when things were once again rolling back to small games, Atharva was still seated on the upper berth now joined with dev as they took it upon themselves to play music, when Madhav and Aman came back. The seats were exchanged, Divya came out, let her legs relax and once again they all were seated as they began with truth and dare. It was simple: the one who got the number 33 will have to answer the questions or do a dare.

"Rishi, it's you." Madhav exclaimed, while Nandini kept on laughing, sharing a teasing look with Divya. DIvya gave her a quizzical look when Rishi stood up and said

"The hell, how is it my chance, you asshole you did it on purpose."

"how did I do it on purpose, I said 15,16...then Nandu said 17 and on their own will Dev and Atharva said the other numbers, we didn't have anything to do with it. Now stop being a pussy and... guys what should we ask him to do?" Madhav asked.

"Rishi, dance on shila ki jawani." Divya suggested.

"Naah I have better... just be you." Manav said as the others looked at him quizzically as he continued. "act like a chakka and beg money from us." While the boys laughed aloud Divya commented,

"don't you think that's quite an insult for the chakkas, I mean Rishi..." that got a whole lot of more hoots as Rishi showed her a middle finger and walked upto Dev to get a coin. He then walked to the other side and began the act. It was so hilarious for all of them as they kept on laughing till their bellies ached. Rishi even went over the board as he walked upto Madhav and touched his face, carsed his chest as the latter covered behind little Nandu. The game continued for a long while and soon the night turned in. by 10 they all were served dinner which Madhav, Nandini and Divya shared in the same serving as none was in a mood to eat anything having been stuffing their mouth since evening over the various snacks and chocolates they all had got.

Divya was done with her Roti when she saw Madhav eating almost nothing. She nudged him with her shoulders and asked, "what's wrong?'

"I don't like the daal. The salt is too little and I am already full."

"Why don't you have this roti then,I can have that rice..."

"you sure?" Madhav enquired as he looked right into her face. Divya nodded as she gave yet another morsel of roti filled with sabzi to Nandini to let her try the other sabji and dived into the rice. The three were busy eating while the rest kept on fooling around when Divya's phone rang. It was her mother.

She quickly handed the plate to Nandini and was about to stand up but realised there wasn't much space to go, she quickly shushed everyone and answered the phone.

"Hello."

"Divya, I have been trying your number for quite sometime now... where are you all now?" her mom enquired.

"Muma we are just having our dinner, my phone didn't have any network. I still can't hear you,"

"Ohh okay, keep safe and go to sleep on time, don't keep loitering around..yeah." Divya whispered a small hum as her mom wished her a good night and the call got disconnected. Once the diner was done and the sweet dish was devoured, their professor along with the tour operator paid them a small visit explaining a few rules and regulations and went away.

However the moment they went, Aman got down from the upper berth along with two bottles of pepsi, a bottle of whiskey and 2 of old monks, Nandini herself retrieved their half bottle of Vodka along with sprite. Both Atharva and Rishi started off on their work as DIvya sat in the farthest corner with a scowl on her face.

"whats wrong with you?' Madhav asked.

"No, not now,I might say something that you wont like let's not spoil the mood..yeah?' Divya explained, when Aman sat beside Madhav and said,

"Areee Divya didi, its IV, enjoy a bit." He offered her a bottle of mixed pepsi and old monk to which Divya refused and scowled at him. ":you know I don't like this."

"And I am sure, before this IV gets over we will make sure that you taste at least some of this." Aman challenged her, while Divya herself looked at him without any kind of defence. She was ready for the challenge. If only she knew what this trip was all about.

The boys on the note that the lights were switched off, had gone ahead to the entrance of the compartment near the gates and had placed a blanket there on which they kept a few chips, a bottle of schezwan chutney, two bottles of Old monk which were already empty and now mixed into the pepsi bottles that was being passed around. Divya looked around and saw what the situation was. Surely they could handle themselves she thought and went back to call Simran who had gone to take a small Nap.

Hello Everyone

This is the best part of the story, while I was writing this I was so enjoying it myself. I hope you all will as well enjoy the chapters here on. 

As well I would like to make it clear that none of the transgender community or the 'chakka'community in these chapters are meant to be hurted or insulted,  rather I want to point out how easily we take them for granted making fun of them,  so many  teenagers or mny truth or dare games actually have this as dare.  For some its normal however it is so wrong on so many grounds. 

Do let me know your views through your comments. 

As well among the group whom do you all love the most? Do mention them in the comments. 

Happy reading.
