The next morning Divya had woken up quite early and very much fresh. The dinner last night had gone in haste, and the moment they had gone back to their rooms all of them had got cuddled up in the bed and went off to sleep. Wiping away the beads of water and slowly removing the towel off her hair, Divya walked out of the washroom and was about to wake up the girls when the doorbell of the room rang. Waking up to it, she first asked who it was and opened the door slightly.

"Are you all awake, please get ready, we had a schedule ahead." It was the tour operator. Divya nodded her head and closed the door and turned around to see Simran right behind her.

"Great you woke up, it was the tour operator, he wants us to get ready, you go and take a shower, I will just see what all they have for breakfast. Divya went off in search of something to soothe her parched throat when she found herself getting a few flashbacks. They were quite hazy but she remembered well.

They all were fast asleep when she heard a loud voice, getting off the bed, she saw Natasha down there lying on the floor her sugar level had gone down and was dehydrated, in her own drowsy self, Divya remembered helping her somehow and the rest she couldn't really remember what really happened. It almost felt like a dream. Quickly fetching up two glasses of orange juice she ran back to the room and called out to Natasha.

"Are you okay now? Please tell me it was a dream." Divya said. The commotion had now woken up Nandini and Geet as well.

"I am very much better, but I need some water," Natasha said. As Nandini handed her the bottle from the bedside table. "what's wrong?" the girls enquired. Divya explained what all she remembered well and as well her thoughts that it felt so much like a dream, however, it was very much a reality. The girls scolded both Divya and Natasha for not waking them up and enquired Natasha if she was alright or not. Once sure, Divya shooed Natasha to the washroom to get ready as she herself contemplated over what to wear.

After a lot of oohs and aahs, she finally settled over a white top and blue jeans paired with her black boots and cream colored jacket. By the time she got ready, Natasha came and Nandini went off to take a bath. The girls till then discussed over all the things that were happening and as well how the whole night Nandini and divya kept on changing the beds from the main bed to the extra bed and vise a versa while Nandini yelled from the bathroom.

"you are an asshole, I came here to sleep beside you, what do you do? You leave me there alone in cold|!!" Before Divya could reply there was a loud knocking on the door. Divya asked who it was, and when she heard Manav's voice she asked the girls to close the bags and went to open the door, however there was none. She was about to close the door when Manav walked out of his room wrapping his muffler around his neck followed by atharva and Rishi. But what shocked Divya was the Way he was dressed.

Divya's eyes grew larger, quite baffled to see all the three boys in their boxers, and mufflers walking through the corridor of the hotel as if they owned the whole place.

"oh hii Divya goodmorning." Manav said and came towards their room and was about to enter when the girls shrieked and quickly closed the door on his face. While they laughed and processed what the hell did just happened at that moment, Divya heard a commotion outside. Slightly opening the door, She saw miss Jain reprimanding them and quickly closed the door once again.

The girls then quickly got ready and went out to get a few pictures, it was around noon when she received a call from Sakshi as the two conversed she saw Nandini calling out to her from the dining area. Something was going around there. She quickly hung up the call and walked up to the group. The boys were busy having their breakfast and surprisingly Geet was around laughing and smiling. Divya wondered what all did she miss?

"whats going on?" she asked Natasha.

"your Madhav and Geet are getting married." The moment Natasha said this Divya's eyes went off to Madhav who was trying his best to eat his breakfast and hide his face. Divya walked up to him and went near his ear and whispered.\

"I thought we were friends. You could have at least told me this." However much to her bad luck he didn't react at all. Divya then pulled Nandini towards her and said, "Look Nandini , now Geet is way important then us.... Ohh now do I realize why he came to our room in Jim Corbett... you sly.. you knew that the shawl was in Geet's bag, why did you have to pretend such a show? You could have said that you wanted to talk to your fiancée." The girls fell into a fit of laughter as Madhav glared at both the girls.

"ohh hello Miss Chavan, we have to discuss a few things with you." Rishi and Manav called out. Divya along with Nandini and the rest of the girls wondered what was wrong with them. When Geet's irritatingly loud voice spoke.

"I don't have any interest in Madhav, I don't even know him... well what ever I know very well what all you are playing at. I won't mind at all. Go ahead."

"Ohh bhaaiiiii, the girl agreed!!!!" Aman yelled as the other visitors began to look at them with questioning eyes. "Divya, Nandini let us tell you that we do have 300crs of property so we won't take any kind of dowry. We would love to have our sister in law wedded to our brother here, right here at this moment without your permission."

"what?" Divya yelled and banged her hand on the table and said. "that's your choice, but we want naik. We won't take anything less than 1.5crs. take it or leave it.. and yes 1.5crs for each and every shagun that is to be given."

The boys pondered over something as Divya saw Madhav trying to make an escape. Divya and Nandini both pushed him back in his seat and said, "where the hell are you going?" while Madhav would have given a reply dev came up to him and asked.

"don't tell me it was geet who was involved with that hickey!|"

"Dev shut up." Divya yelled while Nandini slapped him on his head, as Madhav glared At the three of them. By then the boys were done with whatever discussion they were having and came to them, and said, "alright, we don't think that Mr. Khandelwal would have a problem, after all they are getting two in one pacakeg." The whole group laughed as the girls looked at them questioningly. The commotion then continued as Sanket came right in the middle of the group acting as if a fire and said, "come on I am ready, the pandit is ready and even the husband and wife are ready... come on!!" the group laughed recklessly as if there was no tomorrow watching the way Sanket was dancing, acting as if he was a fire.

"that's quite a wedding there Khandelwal." Madhav glared at her as boys walked up to him and picked him ready to take him somewhere, where only the lord knew. Soon the discussions of bachelor and bachelorette parties began Ms. Jain along with Mrs. Tawadia walked in asking everyone to get going for the sight seeing.

The place they were going to visit was quite beautiful, a waterfall situated right between the mountains. The girls began to take pictures whereas the boys had gone to take a bath in that ice like water. Divya watched them, quite astonished as each of them took a sip of old monk and dived in.

"that's quite a thing there. When I asked them to give me a drink, Aman and Madhav cajoled me into getting down from the bus saying they would give it to me later on...assholes huh." Divya complained to no one in particular as they were going towards a small shop to have some Maggie.

"did you really think that they would give you their stock...please in your dreams girl!" Nandini taunted and took a seat in the corner. " I know I was just hoping against hope, moreover it tasted good. I liked it." Divya smiled cheekily as they ordered their Maggie and waited for it.

By the time their orders rolled in the boys had as well. The shopkeeper placed their plates on the table and Divya was about to eat Maggie when Rishi came and said, "give me something warm!!!" At least Divya could have offered him her maggie he was already digging into Nandini's. shrugging her shoulders, Divya was once again ready to eat Maggie when she saw a hand moving towards her spoon and picking up a share of that Maggie. her head snapped at the person and stood there as Madhav opened his mouth and gulped that Maggie in his whole body was shivering in cold.

"where is your jacket?" Divya asked as Mdhav took a few more bites.

"I am wearing three layers of clothing right now..i never knew it would get this cold."

"Dudhh, it's mussoorie, and it was raining when we came here, it was bound to get cold." Madhav only smiled back at her with tight lips and went back to the group as Divya went back to her Maggie only for Rishi to spill her spoon on the table, irritated she called out to the shopkeeper asking for a fork.

"areey I thought you liked Madhav." Rahul asked. The girls looked at him quizzically as divya replied. "yeah I still do."

"then why are you asking for a new spoon?" the girls let out a chuckle as divya explained. "Firstly I am completely fine with sharing my spoon with these guys, I have already been doing that since college, I asked for another one because this fell down, so it doesn't matter if I liked him or not, I surely couldn't eat with that one right?" Rahul nodded his head as the group continued with their snack. Once done the whole lot moved up to get themselves a few pictures.

"do you have gloves?" Madhav asked as Divya stood there talking with Natasha.

"Na I gave them to Geet, are you still cold?"

"its unbearable, my hands have gone numb." Divya quickly took hold of his hands and gave him one of her gloves and began rubbing the other one in her warm ones. They were busy doing this when dev called out to everyone for a pic.

"what shall we do, it's still cold." Divya muttered quite tensed for Madhva's hands had gone almost pale. As if she felt the gears in her head spinning, she said, "let's do this, you keep your hand in my jacket along with my hand it will help them warm up." However as the group got assembled Divya and Madhav realized how they couldn't keep the hand in Divya's packet. Madhav then made Divya stand right in front of him and then pushed his hand in her pocket and rested his head slightly on her head. However by then Divya was going breathless. She couldn't understand if whatever they were doing was a reality or just a dream, she stood there holding her breath and smiling at the camera as Dev took a picture. Once done, Dev complained that it was blurry much to Divya's irritation, however they took yet another picture, this time Madhav just had his one hand in her pocket.

But that was enough. Divya had got her pic, though a blur one, but she would surely love that one for a long long while. Who would have thought that this trip would help her get a pic, something like that. This was somehow their little secret, though not a hug from the back, but surely of the likes... and ohh how she would cherish this memory.

Once done she asked Madhav if he was doing well, to which he nodded his head and went ahead to get into the bus, Divya as well walked up to the girls and told them about the incident, the three of them squealed happily as they made their way back.

Once seated in the bus, the boys took out yet another bottle of old monk and were busy drinking in, when Nadnini called her.

"You know what Geet said to Rahul?" divya nodded her head in a no and asked her about it.

"I swear if I would have known about this earlier I would have never given her my jacket."

"what's wrong?" Diovyas asked quite puzzled. Geet had not been doing well for a while due to certain reasons which none of them knew, however Nandini Divya and the rest of the girls did whatever they could do best in their circumstances. Divya gave her an extra jacket along with her shawl and gloves, Nandini well gave her her jacket because she was feeling gold even in divya's jacket and shawl. Natasha and simran made sure that she was having her food all in time along with medications. The temperature was getting low yet none of the girls asked Geet to return their winter clothes back thinking how Geet wasn't doing well. And after doing all this to hear that Geet had some negative points to say about them upset Divya a lot.

"I will let you know later on one we are in the room, as well, can you sit back with Madhav? I have something to discuss with Aman." Divya nodded her head and went back and sat at the window seat. They all wrapped themselves in the blanket that she carried and had put on some good music and closed their eyes to take a nap while they reached the hotel. It was just 6:30 however it had turned dark and even a few shops were beginning to get closed.

For someone who had always stayed in a city like Mumbai, this felt quite fascinating for Divya. She was busy looking outside when she felt madhav shivering and covering towards her. She sat up straight and woke him up, "madhav, here take this blanket and cover yourself up completely." Once comfortable, and making sure that he was breathing normally, Divya herself closed her eyes and went off to sleep.

*****

"Divya wake up we have reached... Madhav?" Dev's voice reached Divya as she woke up instantly, until then she hadn't even realized how tired she was, however there were a lot many more days left to go.gathering their items the two quickly got off the bus and waited for Nandini to get done with whatever conversation that she was having with Rohan.

A few minutes of walking got the group to the main market, the whole place was packed up with people, some were even on the verge of closing off their shops and going back home. Quiet tired and disappointed, divya walked ahead and stopped below the shed of a shop going through her phone. She felt a bit relaxed the moment she saw numerous messages from Parth. It had been just a few days that they had last met or talked, but she missed him a lot. She missed his nagging, his irritating self, those silly jokes that he cracked now and then, and those times when he knew that she wasn't doing good. She wished he would have been here.

'by the way, you would have loved it here, the weather is just what you like.' Divya texted back and looked back at the shop. It was a regular all purpose shop, but the big chocolates lying in the display rack had her undivided attention. She felt her phone buzz opening up the chat and she smiled.

'I hope there are girls and chocolates as well...trust me, the best combination of all.'

'on a second though why don't you try it. Experimenting would at least get you somewhere."

Divya decided to ignore the message, however she went up to the shopkeeper and asked for that chocolate, surely not for the experiment, but it's best to pamper yourself now and then. By the time she had got her chocolate and went back to the group she saw Dev staring at her and then at the chocolate.

"Didiii, sharing is caring." He gave her one of the best smiles that he could muster as the rest watched the drama unfold.

"Sure, Natasha, sharing is caring, please give him some chocolate." As the group along with Natasha guffawed, Divya walked up to their tour operator and said, "sir do you know any doctor here somewhere, one of my friends is a bit unwell, and we have a long way to go, its better we get her checked up."

"yeah, let's ask someone." Soon Divya took Geet to a doctor deciding to meet the rest of the group at the dominoz after a while and then get ready for the evening party.

By the time the group was back at the hotel things had got messed up, Divya was filled in on all the things that geet had said to Rohan and was highly pissed off and irritated.

"she said that Nandini and Divya had nothing to do with her, whether they are okay or not, if she is doing well or not, infact she said that divya said to her that None of them had came here on the IV for her." Rohan explained.

"I swear Rohan, I won't deny I said that, I did but the context in which I said that was completely different. She was not ready to come for IV, I explained it to her that it's okay if she doesn't want to, because at the end of the day this IV is for her, if she doesn't feel comfortable here that's fine she can back off, none of us are here primarily because of someone, I wanted to be here because this might be my only chance to get to places like these there might be some other reason for someone else, and we don't think about her and care for her...my ass, if it had been so than Nandini wouldn't have given her jacket to her in such a cold weather, I wouldn't have given my gloves to her nor all my extra winter clothes, nor would I have taken her to the doctors and got drenched in that rain. I swear I feel so hurt and disappointed, we shouldn't have done anything for her."

As Nandini blasted out herself Divya sat there listening to her. She could feel the way the air in that room was turning into a mess, she couldn't have that, this trip was important and she couldn't have someone else spoil it just like that.

"Guys I think let's just leave her be, she knows very well where to find us, she can do that, what we need to do right now is get ready, I will just go and change, by that time you all as well get ready."

She quickly took out her black dress and went into the washroom to get ready, by the time she came out, she saw Nandini and Simarn cozied up into the bed. "the hell, Yaar Nandu, I had asked you all to fetch your clothes comone on yaar."

"I don't feel like it." Nandini said at the way sudden rush of emotions that filled into Divya was something she had never felt, she took a deep breath and said, "Nandu listen, I am really disappointed and hurt right now, and I know so are you, I just don't want to acknowledge my feelings here right now, the hell with that bitch can we just enjoy our self?" when she didn't heard anything, she said, "cool then I am calling Aman, let him handle you, till then Simran you guys get ready."

Divya stormed out of the room to that of Aman, she was quite pissed off. As she reached the room she knocked a bit and then walked in calling out for Aman. However there was quite a little time for the boys to react as Dev got off the bed, Dhaval wrapped his towel tighter and Madhav stopped posing like an idiot. She stuffed her laughter and became serious and said, " Aman, go talk to your sister. She isn't coming for the DJ night."

"Are Divya for once in your life chill, by the way I don't understand what's wrong with you all since this evening, just relax nandu will come around. And as it is Aman wont come, he is busy with us." Madhav said, but even before Divya could reply Dhaval butted in.

"and Divya please could you take two or three breaths before walking in after knocking, you never know what we guys might be up to and- "

"will the two off you shut your traps up for sometime, I don't want to chill Madhav, and Dhawal, your towel might just get loose better wear your pants... and you, you have just 2 minutes to come else you can forget all the bottles that are there in my bag." Divya turned around haughtily, quite proud of the way she spoke and walked off to her room, with Aman, madhav and Dev right behind her.
