Chapter 28: Camping In The Jungle.


    They both sat there admiring the beauty in front of their eyes.. The sun had almost rose as they say


    there for almost half a hour as Ayaan spoke up..


    A: isn''t this beautiful..??


    S:Yeah...


    A: You know I find it very astonishing..


    S: The sun rise..??


    A: No.. I mean.. The scenes.. A few minutes ago it''s all dark and gloomy and then a single ray of light


    adds soo many colours.. And all the darkness vanishes like it was never there...


    S: Why do I have a feeling your not just talking about the sun rise..


    A: I''m talking about our lives too.. Sometimes we feel it''s all sad and dark.. But all we need is a ray of


    light and hope.. And the sadness goes away.. Am I right..?


    S: Yeah..


    A: I know we''ve had this conversation over and over many times.. But today I just wanna tell you that..


    Once before you were the sun to my darkness.. Not just that one incident.. But there were many more..


    That you and I both know.. And now.. I promise to be yours.. And I just want you to have the hope I


    have.. I promise.. I''ll always be your ray of light..


    He said as he sat in front of her on his knees holding her hand.. As she kept her other hand over his..


    S: and Hope.?


    A: and Hope.!


    He said smiling at her with determination in his eyes.. As she smiled back softly.. They both stared into


    each others eyes.. Ayaan then got up holding her hand to help her up as they both left back to the hotel


    hand in hands.. They went to their respective rooms.. The boys were still a sleep so Ayaan also


    crashed into the bed and ofcourse fell asleep that instant.


    Sofia entered the room to see both the girls sitting on the bed as they stared at her in horror and then


    confused as Kiara spoke..


    K: If you''re here whose in the bathroom..


    S: How will I know..?


    She saw as she opened the bathroom door and saw it was empty.


    S: There''s nobody in there..


    K: Oh.. So where were you..?


    She remembered as a small smile came on her lips.. His words had this time touched her heart


    deeply.. And she could read his sincerity in his eyes.. Kiara walked upto her and put a arm around her


    shoulder while looking at Aliza..


    K: Alizay.. Is it too cold or is our friend blushing...


    Aliza alsoes by her side..


    Al: I think it''s blush..!!


    They both chuckle while high-fiving each other behind her back..


    S: I''m not blushing..


    She said brushing off their arms.. And then went to sit on the bed as they both gave looks to each other


    and then sat beside her..


    K: Alright you''re not blushing.. So where were you..?


    Al: You didn''t wander off all alone did you..??


    S: No I was with Ayaan..


    K+Al: Ohhhhhh.....


    S:Shut. Up.


    K: Sooo when did you go...?


    Al: Where did you go..?


    K: What did he say..??


    Al: what did you do..??


    S: Guysss.. We''re not in a rtionship that your your behaving this way..


    K: You''re not..??


    Al: Really..??


    S: Seriously..?? We just went for a walk, saw the sun rise and came back..


    They both give an exaggeratedly long look of understanding and then eye her suspiciously with a smirk


    as she red back at them..


    K: Aliza would you mind..??


    Al: Of course not..


    She said as Kiara forward her hand in front of Sofia as Aliza grabbed it from the other side of her and


    Sofia still looked puzzled.. They entwined their hands walking forward as Aliza grabbed her arm with


    other hand resting her head on Kiara''s shoulder.. They both were facing away from sofia.. They walked


    animatedly and stop at a distance Then turn to each other..


    K: Sofia...


    Al: Ayaan...


    They say looking into each others eyes fluttering their eyeshes acting-more like overacting- like in


    love.. Sofia looks withrge eyes at them astonished.. As they continue their talk while holding their


    hand in between them..


    K: Let''s go for a walk.. In the mountains..


    Al: yes.. And we will see the sun rise...


    K: In this beautiful weather..


    Al: The morning lighting..

    him who was still trying to see who came by.. He turned along with them looking confused..


    R: What are you guys doing here so early..??


    K: What did you think..??


    Sofia and Aliza walk upto the bed where Ayaan and Nick were sleeping peacefully.. They look at

    suddenly recieves a smack on his head making the others chuckle.. He red next to him to see Nick..


    N: What are you smiling at.. Move and give me some space..


    A: You could have just ask..


    N: I''ve been literally screaming in your ears..


    A:Alright. Fine. Go-ahead..


    He says angrily moving aside while grabbing his watch that he put on and grabbed a perfume putting it


    on.. By that time Ryan had also left the bathroom and joined Nick in front of the mirror..

    A: We''ll be carrying our wood.. Not cut down trees over there.. And that''s pretty much not allowed


    here..


    K: There will be a bonfire.. Yay...


    She squeals hugging sofia who was beside her.. Soon they were all ready so they left the rooms with


    their necessary things and went to the outskirts of the city where there was a forest.. There were tall


    trees and bushes around them.. They walked into the forest as Kiara seemed a little scared of her


    surrounding as Sofia noticed her..


    S: What is it Kiara.. Are you not enjoying it..??


    K: Are you sure it''s safe out here..??


    Ay: Ofcourse it''s not..

    N: You don''t KNOW..????


    A: I don''t live here.. I just heard from a few people.. Tourists oftene around here for camping and


    there is a clearing after a bit of walk into the forest.


    They walk a few steps as ites in view..


    A: There it is C''mon.. This should be enough for us to camp right..


    Ry: Yup perfect..!


    They keep all of their bags and belongings down.. The boys took out the two tents they had brought


    along.. As Ryan, Nick and Aliza started seeing up one and Ayaan, Kiara and Sofia worked on the


    other.. Soon they had them set up..


    R: So... What are we gonna eat..

    R: She''s right.. And besides it''s been so long since we yed any such game.


    N: Yeah nice idea..


    Ay: Alright fine.. As you all wish..


    They started ying hide and seek while running in the woods and hiding.. Then continued it with a


    game of chase. After ying for hours and getting tired they finally sat down as they began feeling


    hungry.. The girls had a few snacks in thier bag that they ate and then took out the cup noodles they


    had bought for lunch.


    Everyone had lunch and then sat down just talking about their childhood and their past memories.. The


    boys then started to prepare for dinner as the sun had began to set.. The boys lightend the fire as the


    girls got the barbecue ready.. They all then sit around the fire roasting their sticks while hitting and


    teasing each other..


    After the dinner was over they again sat around the fire now singing songs and dancing in between and


    romantic song on the girls request when Ryan and Nick started dancing together like a couple.. The


    girlsughed looking at them both as Ayaan sang with more feels giving an extra touch to their


    humorous dance..


    It was finally Night time when they had all gotten tired of hours of singing, dancing and story telling


    where they shared the most horrific stories they knew.. They could let this perfect chance if Horror story


    telling pass considering their surrounding.. They had managed to scare Aliza and Nick quite a bit as


    these were the scary cats of this group.. Finally when both of them had had enough and threatened to


    leave the ce did they stop.. Everyone went into the tents and fell asleep..
