“May I sit next to you, Parth?” Sanyukta asked politely.

Only 2 seats were empty in the class, one next to Randhir and the other next to Parth. Sanyukta chose to sit next to Parth as the better option.

“Yes sure”Parth replied with a smile.

Today Prem Kumar Chaudhary took a sick leave, making his students delighted.

Kaustuki,Sanyukta and Jiggi decided to spend some time in canteen.Parth too joined them.

“Parth bhai(bro), here have some sandwich”Jiggi generously offered the snack to Parth.

Parth too accepted the sandwich with a smile.” What are you planning to do in vacations?”Jiggi asked Parth while munching fries.

“Nothing much, I guess will get hella bored,” Parth replied nonchalantly.

“Then bro, join us. We have planned a trip to Mussoorie”Jiggi spoke out.

“It will be so awkward,” Parth hesitated.

“Come on Parth join us. You are our friend, it will be fun trip”Sanyukta insisted.

Parth thought for a few seconds, then he agreed.

Next day, Jiggi arranged a cab to Mussoorie. Then Sanyukta,Parth,Kaustuki, along with Jignesh zoomed off to Mussoorie.

“Jiggi where is the hotel which booked online?”Kaustuki asked getting tired.

For an hour, the group is walking uphill to reach the hotel QueenHill, but the hotel vanished miraculously. Actually, Google map too seemed confused on the mountains, making Jiggi and others walk in circles on the same lanes.

Parth spoke out,” Jiggi let me search the location on the GPS”.

Parth then took everyone to the exact location. Sanyukta sprinted her leg at the entrance of the hotel.

Parth then like a gentleman picked up Sanyukta in his arm who seemed in pain.

Kaustuki and Jignesh took a room for themselves. Then asked for 2 separate rooms for Parth and Sanyukta.

“Madam, only one room is vacant. Other rooms got occupied since tourist season is going on,” The receptionist spoke out.

“What should we do now?”Kaustuki got worried.

“It's alright, we will manage,” Sanyukta assured Kaustuki and Jiggi.

“Yeah don't worry guys we will adjust” Parth too assured everyone.

The receptionist handed over the keys.Jiggi and Kaustuki went to their room, while Parth took Sanyukta towards the room.

“It's okay. Please put me down, you will get tired carrying me,” Sanyukta spoke guiltily.

“It's perfectly fine. You are not that bulky. Secondly, you can't climb the stairs in that swallowed ankle,” Parth retorted.

Parth opened the door and just like the door his mouth opened ajar.Sanyukta looked the room in shock.

The room beautifully decorated with roses and jasmine stood waiting. A big heart of rose petals adorned the bed, while the pair of swans of white towel with their breaks joined stood happily on the bed.

Parth immediately called a room service to ask about the room they were given.

The room service man responded,” Sir, this is the only vacant room in the hotel.

The receptionist spoke,” I guess this is the ideal for your honeymoon” adding more embarrassment for the duo.

Parth quickly responded,” We are not a couple”.

The receptionist apologized,” Oh, you both look like a perfect couple. I am so sorry for misunderstanding you as a couple. Enjoy the stay.

Sanyukta and Parth entered the room awkwardly.Sanyukta immediately opened the window to make the overwhelming scent of the flowers leave the room.

“I should take a bath” Parth spoke and move towards the bathroom only to stand still at the door of the washroom.

Sanyukta noticed Parth standing still. She looked at what Parth was looking without blinking.

“I want to avoid smelling like roses” Parth commented as Sanyukta stood next to him.

For a second, first Sanyukta looked at Parth's serious face, then at the bathtub filled with rose petals. Then both erupted in laughter.

Parth cleared the bathtub while Sanyukta dusted the bedsheet.

"What should I do of these love birds?”Sanyukta chuckled as she picked up the towel swans.

“Put them in the bathtub,” Parth spoke jokingly, and again the duo laughed heartily.

Both didn't realize when the sun rose as they both kept chattering like lost best friends who met after years of separation.

There is an astonishing bond of friendship between Parth and Sanyukta. These mechanical engineers will discover much more in the upcoming days, let's see what is on the way.
