Raj and Kenny wandered in the fair. It was pretty modern.
" Aah a horse seat", said Raj.
" You have a horse", she smiled.
" Recently got it. An Arabic breed", he answered honestly.
" I have a mare too. She is mixed breed and pretty gentle", she said.
" What do you do Raj", she asked.
" I run an accounting firm in US", he said. " Adirya enterprises ".
" Who is Aditya", she asked.
" Its me", he answered. My name is Adirya Sharma".
" My name is Kanupriya. But Kenny is close ", she said. " What made you Raj".
" I am born to rule", he said and she giggled.
" I run a small business too", she said. " Really", he asked.
" Ohh we have just started", she said.
" Ots nice to meet a fellow business person", he said.
She bought a dagger for him.
" It suits you", she said.
He bought her bangles. Green ones.
" They bring out the colour in your eyes", he said. " And I like the sound they make in your hands".
In reply she clinked the bangles again as he laughed.
" Lets try the ferris wheel", she said.
" Great", he said.
She screamed and held him as they did it. He enjoyed it a lot.
" What would you like to drink", asked Raj.
" Coconut water", she said.
They drinked it chatting more about the place.
They were strolling when someone handed him a flyer.
It read:
' A week's hike and camping in the mountains
Explore the ghats devoid of civilization. Live in tents. Eat village food. A getaway from your busy life. Explore the wildlife flora and fauna. Experience the peace and tranquilty'.
Raj thought about it. Was this the other signal?
" Raj", Kenny shook him.
" Han", he asked.
" Look elephant ride", she said.
" Ohhkay", he smiled.
" I AM A QUEEN", screamed Kenny as she rode the elephant.
" I see you like it", said Raj.
" Love it". Don't you", she asked.
" I like how happy it makes you", he said looking at her.
They stared into each other's eyes.
" Do you like me Raj", she asked.
" I do", his response was immediate.
" I am attracted to you", she softly whispered to him. " This feeling is awesome but scary".
" I am scared too Kenny", he said. " But not for liking you. I don't want to lose you".
She hugged him as they rode the elephant. A thought was growing in his mind.
As they came down she said,
" So its time for goodbye again".
" I hate this time", he said.
" Yaa me too".
" Then don't say it", he said.
" Raj".
He handed her the flyer.
" Look at this Kenny. We can be together", he said. " No goodbyes. Just the two of us. No one to interrupt".
" Raj its too early", she said.
" But I know Kenny", he said. " From here", he pointed to his heart. " I like you and want to be with you. And I am ready to take chances".
" What if it doesn't work out Raj", said Kenny.
" Then at least we won't have any regrets", he replied.
She was not sold.
" Do you like me Kenny", he asked.
" Yes Raj", she said.
" Then think about this. How we met? A coincidence. Then we met again. We are gravitated towards one another. Two people who live world's apart, don't know each other are suddenly brought together again and again. What is it Kenny", he asked.
" Fate", she said.
" More than that sweetheart. A divine signal. That we belong together".
" I feel I own you and you my heart", she confessed.
" Then Kenny come with me please come with me", he said. " We will find out what this is between us".
" Okay", she said softly. " Its not like I can be away from you".
Overjoyed he held her hands.
" Then lets buy supplies".
" There is a town around 10 km from here which sells it", she said. " We can take the bus".
They took the bus to the town and bought supplies. The hiking club kept the supplies of participants till next morning.
" I'll inform my sister", said Kenny.
" Then I will see you at the club at 5 A.M. tomorrow morning", said Raj. Please do come he prayed.
Suddenly Kenny pecked him on his lips.
" Sweet dreams", said the brat and ran away.
He could just feel her on his lips.
" I am in heaven", he said.
Kenny told about her hiking plans to Kiara and Grace. But she completely omitted Raj.
" Its sudden", she said. " But I think this mountain is calling me. Is it okay if I take a vacation"?
" Okay", blurted Kiara. " Its compulsary. You should go. You need a break sis. Ever since we started Queens I have seen you working your ass off.
" What about the Junagarh prince"?
" Kiara can sign that contract and I will help her ", said Grace. " Shai is arriving soon. You go take that holiday girl."
" I love you both", said Kenny and hugged them.
Next morning she got ready and both the girls bid her goodbye.
Raj on the other hand knew his friends won't let him go. So he just quietly left in the morning writing a note.
" I am with my Angel
Don't disturb me".
" He gets the girl and gave us the boot", sneered Maddy.
" The b*st*rd does not realise his life could be in danger", said Ro. " What does he even know about that girl"?
" We need to search him", said Solly.
" Not us", said Parry. " You two". He sighed then said, " I have rights to sign the contract with Queens. Maddy will join me as law expert".
" I stay back with Solly",said Ro.
"I can rearrange his face all alone", scoffed Solly.
" They could use poison", said Ro.
" Then best of luck in finding the as*hole", said Parry. " Maddy start packing."
Meanwhile
Raj and Kenny were happy to meet each other.
" Good morning", said Kenny batting her eyes at him.
" I had the sweetest dream", he winked. " Thanks to", he smacked his lips.
Kenny turned beet red as he held her hand.
" Ready", he asked.
" Yeah".
And the journey begins....
