"So, where exactly are we headed?" chimed Priyanka, peeking outside the bus window.
"You'll know soon! A surprise is named surprise for a reason." replied Viraaj, sliding his palm in Shiuli's, while she was busy holding her undisciplined hair strands behind her ear. Startled by his touch, she turned to look at their intertwined hands, before looking up at him and smiling at his handsome face.
"We just need to pick Mihika and Aakash, Harleen, Abhilash, and Daksh now." said Akshay looking around at the empty seats of the bus, counting the familiar faces and making note of the ones he couldn't see here.
"Well, one thing's for sure about this bus ride, I'm taken back to our school days when the bus would come and pick us up from our homes every morning for school." Randhir smiled, sharing his thoughts, and looking at everyone's fresh and happy faces.
"Purpose fulfilled!" Shiuli whispered to Viraaj, over in his ear making him chuckle at the joyful yet childlike glow smeared all over her face. That huge smile on her face, made him kiss her at that instant itself, making her eyes go wide and cheeks crimson. She looked around to check if their friends had just seen the stunt he pulled. Relieved to see everyone busy agreeing with Randhir and sharing their school memories, she turned back to face her would-be husband only to look at him with angry eyes, in a futile attempt to make him intimidated by her, but it ended up only making him laugh more. Seeing him laugh at her face, she gasped not believing him before smacking his arm.
"Relax, woman!" He laughed pulling her by her shoulder closer to him, as he laid his head over it enjoying the rest of the ride.
Shiuli smiled thinking how successfully her reunion plan was being executed by her and Viraaj. Booking a bus ride, she immediately informed all her friends to be ready by 10 A.M. on Sunday morning and wait inside their homes, till they get a call to come outside. She wanted everyone to feel that kiss of nostalgia by picking them up from their respective houses for a bus ride, to give them a bewitching squeeze of their long-lost childhood. The day ahead was planned by her dexterously enough to make everyone have a smile on their face by the end of it. She had weaved a beautiful design of events coming their way to give them a tight hug of memory closet and love. All she hoped was, nothing messed up in the middle of the day.
Drawn towards the exuberant conversation of her high school buddies, she craned her head sideways to listen to them clearly and try to be a part of their conversation as well.
"Remember, when we ate Miss Sunita's lunch, and she went crazy searching for her lunch eater and later on got angry with Harish sir?" Sukriti jumped into the conversation of school memories with enthusiastic energy making everyone nod their head laughing and getting even more excited to add more to the incident.
"And Harish Sir used to have a crush on her, he got so terrified and fumbled to an extent that he couldn't even say anything! Poor guy instead got embarrassed and said sorry for something he didn't even do!" Everyone blurted out laughing as Akshay remarked, laughing a rather hysteric laughter.
