Shooting Star

Being little crazy

BEING LITTLE CRAZY

The next 2 days passed in a very exciting way….. both enjoyed themselves a lot. In actual means, Shrishti forcefully made him enjoy all the moments, keeping everything aside…… finally the last day of their trip came and now Shrishti was banging on the door of Kabir’ s room for the past 20 minutes as they were getting late……. Finally, Kabir opened the door, setting his hairs…….

Shrishti was staring at him fuming in anger yet she was looking cute like anything….. making him chuckle seeing her fuming yet cute face…..

Kabir: what happened? A tsunami is coming or an earthquake or the sky is ready to fall…… (he asked sarcastically)

Shrishti: are you even serious….. like seriously I have been banging on this door for 20 minutes…….can you please enlighten me kindly about what you were doing for this long…….

Kabir: umm…. actually I was setting my hairs…..(he said adjusting his curls Shrishti stumbled at her feet listening him) hey hey…. Are you OK……

Shrishti: are you out of your mind…. Literally you took 20 minutes for your hair….. even girls don’t take this long man….. (he scratched the back of his neck looking here and there) OK now if your hair and makeup is done then shall we leave….. we are already late….. (she said sarcastically)

Kabir: just a minute….. let me lock the room…….

Both of them visited a few leftover places till 2 in the afternoon…… and then, only at Shrishti’ s insistence, Kabir also agreed to roam in the local market of the city as now they were free…..

For almost 2 hours, Shrishti was continuously doing shopping. Some little things for her, some for her sister and for her parents……. And Kabir was shocked at how she did this much shopping without getting tired…… he was busy in thoughts and came out of his own thinking world listening to the screams of Shrishti and feeling a jerk in his hand…..

Kabir: hey what happened…..? (he asked, confused)

Shrishti: not what happened….. it’s what I found….. (she said dreamily)

Kabir: whatever…. What on earth have you found….. please enlighten me too….

.

Shrishti pointed her finger towards a tea stall where mirchi pakodas (chili fritters) were also displayed nicely…….

Kabir: what are you showing a girl…..

Shrishti: aagh…. Are you seriously dumb or this just to show me…. (she said, getting mad)

Kabir: what……?? Dumb and that to me….. (he asked dramatically)

Shrishti: whatever….. now we’ll stand here and continue fighting or will go and enjoy those heavenly fritters with mesmerizing ginger tea……

Kabir: how are you so sure about ginger tea….. (he asked comically)

Shrishti: I have super powers….. I can know everything…. Now come…… (she said, dragging him along with her)

He helplessly went behind her holding her bags…..(as he is a gentle man, how he can let a girl carry her shopping bags)

Both sat on stools given by the stall vendor and kept on a stool in between to place their plate and cups…… putting one piece of fritter in her mouth full, Shrishti felt like heaven, seeing her so careless and innocent at the same time Kabir chuckled…….

Shrishti: why are you laughing…… you eat too…. I bet you’ll just love it…..

Kabir: no no I can’t bet because I have nothing to lose…(he said dramatically)

Shrishti: now let’s finish this quickly and leave….. only one place is left on my list……

Kabir: what…..!! Don’t tell me there is one more place to go…… I’m already tired…… I just wanna die in my bed till next morning……

Shrishti: Kabirhhhh……!!(she said loudly in anger)

Kabir: what happened……(he asked, getting a little worried)

Shrishti: see I know we are here together just for today and after reaching Mumbai we have our own different ways…… and it is also true that I’m no one to you…….. but….(she sighed heavily) but still I’m giving you a suggestion as a human being or you can say as a well wisher……. Please don’t use this word die, death etc ever…… and make sure you can teach others the same………now let’s go….. we are getting late…… if you trust me, then follow me you’ll surely love that place……

Kabir didn’t say anything and he started following her…… after 15 minutes of walking, they reached near an isolated place which looked like a hilltop……. Kabir was amusingly looking here and there…… finally they stopped walking as they reached the edge of the hill…

Both of them were completely silent for approximately 10 minutes……. And finally, taking a deep breath, Shrishti started speaking……

Shrishti: so tell me mister…… how do you like this place….. (she said, smiling widely)

Kabir: I’m speechless yr…… I have never seen this beauty of nature ever……. Thank you so much….for bringing me here (he said, looking at her but she was checking her watch)

Shrishti: come let’s sit here…… the sun is about to set in just 5 minutes….. that view will be really very beautiful…..

Both of them sat there….. were looking at the beauty of nature without uttering a single word……. Shrishti was ready with her camera… she didn’t want to lose the opportunity of recording the sunset…….

Soon the sun eloped behind the clouds and from the other side of the sky a beautiful moon peeped out……. Following the moon, within a few minutes, the whole sky was filled with stars…

…..

None of them wanted to go back, leaving the view……. So both of them sat there quietly……. There was a serene smile on both of their faces and both were drowned in their own thinking world…..

Suddenly…………..
