The journey concludes
And before she could have said anything we heard rustling of curtains and found them moving and then a shrill voice. “Saar dinner, dinner lenge”.
I just said No but then Montu got up and asked him… “Veg mei kya hai?”
Vendor: Two options: North Indian mei Parontha, Alu Sabji, Dal and Plain rice and South Indian mei Sambhar, Lemon Rice, Idli and coconut chatney hoga ji
Montu: ek South Indian thali laana.
The vendor looked at our side with a question mark and we all said no.
By now Binnu was also up and came down while Montu was discussing about order... when the vendor was gone, we (me and Binnu) with question mark on our face were looking Montu as in how come a guy who hated south Indian food since we know him is specially asking for south Indian food… and specially when we have home cooked food that Sia brought for us.
He just smiled and kept it unanswered… (The question is still unanswered)
With every passing moment the astonishing trip was going for the end. Binnu left us at Chennai Station he had some official work over there, then Montu had connecting train from Nagpur so he left us at .
Next day night at 12 all of sudden both of us got up, on looking outside we realized that it was Agra Cantt. We quickly gathered our stuff and jumped out of the train, so that we can get bus to Jaipur from here only and save almost 4-5 hours.
Well... luckily we got seats in the deluxe bus and well what an amazing journey it was....
Lights off.....all dark in the bus.... people sleeping.... 2 people wide awake... covered by a blanket...... with their hands wrapped around each other... hugging tightly...... releasing warm breath at neck.... biting ear lobes..... lips teasing each other......................and.........................
and we didn't realize when slept in each others arms..
and then all of sudden I got up.... found out that we were outskirts of Jaipur..... its still dark out there.... I woke her up.... we adjusted ourselves and then slept again just to get up at Jaipur bus stand..
