CHAPTER 34.1 – LET THE DAMM SHADES OF 'HUNGAMA' BEGIN

18th December, 2019

On a Train En- Route to Gstaad

12:15 PM – SWISS TIME

Khushi's POV

OK.

Guys.

I just have to Say This – Right Here – Right Now – before I proceed my way back into our Seating Carriage section on board this gorgeous Swiss Train to join back everyone in there as we are enroute to Gstaad. I am technically all paused and statued in Sheer AWE – gazing out at the View from the Glass Windows looking out - at this walkway space which is between two carriages right now. I had walked out to freshen up about five minutes ago.

Anyways guys – lets totally Zoom Back to What I wanted to Say.

Ok.

Wait.

Technically.

A little Correction to That – everyone.

I think - it's Dear Eyes that want to take the lead in here and say this bit out.My eyes immediately sigh all happily awe-d. Thank You – K , for letting us have the opportunity to tell everyone that we are kind off in a tranz – all Awed* Infinity by the beauty of the scenic nature around us. Anddd ohhhhhh the feel of going through all these tunnels through the mountains and everything with all snow around us is indeed a feast for us surely. We don't think we will ever be able to forget this Vision – like ever. It's totally going to be stored in my hard-disk to recall on moments when we just want to La – La – La and relax and dream – you know like sometimes how we dream pretending to be the ones chilling on the beach in a sunbed with a refreshing lemon cooler In our hands?? Dear Mind - Please Note – that this View Out Right Now is totally going to be Our Go-To Dreamy Imaginary Spot for a while now.

I hear My Mind chip in Happily getting on with its works and Inputs. Copy that dear eyes. Inputs processed. Don't you worry about this at all. On that Note – Little Hit Girl – I'd like to let out a Dreamy Sigghhhh. You know why don't you?

I chuckle to my Mind. Ofcourse I know what this is about Dear Mind, but I guess its safe to let Dear Heart take a lead in reporting this bit out to everyone since it surely does agree with you.

Dear Heart chips in all Dreamily now with a little Frown. Thank You K. I obviously agree with the Mind here for sure. However can I make it Sigh * Infinity though – you know because I so badly wish that Arnav were right here with us on this gorgeous scenic train ride into Gstaad. Like imagine If he were here with his arms around us and we'd be looking out taking the view in – like how Epic-ally Perfect would that Beeeeeeeee!!

Ofcourseeeee Dear Heart – I totally agree that – that would have been Epic-ally Perfect indeed. On that note – I don't really think Epic-ally is really a word though? Like did you just invent that with the help of Dear Mind?

Dear Mind Chips in all happily. Oh yesss K. We just invented the word out ok? You just gotta process it and use it here on nonetheless.On that note – you know very well that we have a dictionary of our own. Anyways, returning to the case in point – I totally agree with Dear heart here – if only we could make that sigh* infinity ya...I mean its such a pity that Arnav will also be taking the same train ride as this one to our destination but not at the same time as us but just hours apart.Also although I understand the logic bit of us travelling with our respective family and friends separately – but this bit has totally got me going back into major missing mode – for now we haven't really seen Arnav, my love in like over 24 hours plus...and not only that we haven't got out some time alone with him since hours that have crossed that 24 mark as well. I mean – I so wish we had travelled together ya.

Ofcourse Dear Mind. I know exactly what you mean.

Guys.

The last couple of days ever since you last heard from our end – have been pretty much a whirlwind for Sure. Dear Insides – its only fair to give a little glimpse in here right?

Dear Heart smiles and grins and chips in now. Oh yes K. Its's totally fair. Also yes its all been a whirlwind – with all that had been happeneing around -That's also true for sure. I mean How can I even forget the happiness on Mom, Dad's , Superbro's faces when you told them about your contract renewal upgrade and selection in Tri Nation Series Squad the next morning before heading out to BCCI – followed by the exhilarating moment in between Jess and You as you shared the information with her in the car and the happiness on her face as well was a treat as well. And then ofcourse when you met up with everyone at the BCCI's office and totally played along with Sheena Di's idea of acting all innocent in front of Harpreet Di when she told you the news as well was heartwarmingly exhilarating indeed and to share it all with all your team – mates as you all got down to signing and everything felt amazing obviously.

Oh Yes Dear Heart. The Word – Amazing would be an understatement for sure. I mean Guys – to be Honest – I don't think I have the words to express out the feelings I went through in my cricketing emotions as I signed by Renewed Contract of Grade B with BCCI. Like it totally felt like I had stepped up one more step closer – into My Go The Distance bit for Real. Like I had worked so very hard with utmost dedication for this moment and to finally see it unfold out and happen in front of my eyes – for like all Surreal for me in my Gaming emotions for Sureeee!!!And on top of that...

Dear Heart chips in all happily instantly. K, you want to say that on top of all of that the cherry on the cake was that when you actually returned Home from BCCI that day – you had Arnav waiting for you at Home there all set to surprise the afternoonlights out of your Head this time around.

Yup. Dear Heart – This is exactly what I wanted to say.

Oh yes – Guys – you wont believe this okay? This Man that I crazily love was like right there at home that day on the pretext of helping Anjali shift her stuff and also meet and catch up with Mom, Dad and Superbro – all because he actually wanted to see the happiness shining in my eyes when I walked back into home after actually formally signing the contract and everything. And until then he was totally misleading me on text that he was busy with his last minute packing and wedding preprations. Like Cheekyyy Himmm Naaa..and like a Total Copy Cat Too. And ofcourse he stayed until lunch and was even there amidst everyone at home as we waited with bated breathes for the clock to strike 2pm and have the BCCI upload the Contract List out Live – on their website for our women's team.( They announce the Men's Contract renewal in mid Jan.) And once again I cannot even begin to express in words how moved I was emotionally when I saw my Name up there in the Contract B list – and the best part? Everyone at home knews exactly what I was feeling as in Mom, dad, superbro, Anjali, My Mr Stranger – each and everyone knew what that moment meant to me obviously. Also guys on that note I do have to say that Arnav really did keep up his promise on being subtle in his tease Mode with me on text for sure while we were surrounded by everyone. Well the fact that we did sneak up to my cricketing study after lunch under the pretext that I wanted ASR's inputs and views and guidance in order to understand the gravity and responsibility with regards to certain new points in my official Grade B – Contract, and thereby instead spent the next thirty minutes in my study just clinging onto each other and kissing and caressing each other madly – was another story all together.

Dear Heart chips in now with another sigh. Oh please K – don't you make me remember that bit off it now for it was after that moment in time we barely got to see Arnav alone much since each of us got so busy at our respective ends packing and prepping – getting all set to leave.On that note – I do have to mention specially again that the way Akash, Dadi, Abhi uncle and Reva aunty congratulated you as well for your achievement truly warms me up fuzzily all again – for Sure.

I know exactly what you mean Dear Heart.

Dear Mind chips in happily. And yes I guess its also fair to add that not just K's closest – that have been so happy for her. Everyone here in our gathering right now ever since we all caught up at the airport yesterday has only been congratulating and sending K – their best wishes and they wont stop raging about how they are so proud of her.Also on that point – I am sure K is only glad that for a little while the conversations and stirs up online are back to talking about just India women as a cricketing unit and the new contract listings. There have been a lot of people sending out their best wishes for India's little hit girl through Sheena/Harpreet/Mira di's Insta – saying that they were confident in their hopes that she'd be stepping forward as being a integral part of the unit here on.

Oh yes – I am more than just glad about that bit off it – you know to have the focus back in light over my profession from my personal Life.

Dear Heart chips in with a reminder. But K – you know that the focus might just shift back to your personal space yet again sooner than you are expecting??? I mean remember when we landed – we already read like a numerous theories and articles about people spotting Arnav Singh Raizada at the IGI all set to travel with a large family and friends group to and everyones already speculating if the holiday is supposed to be like a huge family event given the entrouge travelling to Zurich through Lufthansa. I mean it's a good thing that the media hasn't connected the Dots Yet but they will connect it Soon. Superbro and Anjali are getting Married in days time -the news of the family connect with Captain ASR is going to make some headlines in tabloid for sure.

Well Yes – dear Mind – thank you for the reminder. Well I know this will happen anyway. But you all know that I always felt like I was prepared for this bit to happen after achieving certain milestones of my own in my very own eyes – with no such news of connection in the Background. And now that I have proved my mettle to Myself and My Bat uptil a certain point – I am surely ready to face this bit for sure. It's also safe to say that I am taking a little step by step into Going That Distance on these matters as well and I have been able to do so – so smoothly majorly because of Arnav – as well.

Dear Heart and Mind Sigh in a collective unison again. Oh Yes – Ofcourse. if it wasn't for Arnav – my Love. Ahhhhh we Misss Him Insaneeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!! How can we Not Frown??????

I chuckle at my Insides. Dear Mind + Heart - I'd like to remind you off a point in consolation here. I mean from 4pm today On – you are going to be back to seeing Arnav like all around yaaaa..so cmon don't frown too much yaaaa. And Like you know already – every moment spent with him in real time is going to be worth the Wait – no matter how little away or how far long..right???C'mon you all have the experience on this bit ya – Be a Little Patieint – will you please? The fruits shall definetly be Sweeter as you know.

Dear Heart chips in all dreamily now. Oh yes K – thank you for this reminder. We needed it. Also on that note – I am so eager to just sleep cocooned in Arnav's arms all night from tonight on – you know since he did say that he's surely going to sneak in to sleep with his arms around you every night for sure – because of how peacefully you both slept that night all wrapped up close and cozy into one another. Like its was like the Most Peaceful Serene Sleep Ever. I meannnn – sighhhhh – Sighhhh.

I sigh happily clutching onto my heart as I lean my head on the glass window looking out. Oh Yes Dear Heart – Its indeed way to Serene to just sleep in his loving arms for sure. Its like His Arms around me while I sleep = Destination of a Heavenly Sleep and Slumberr – Indeed.

Dear Mind jumps in Now – K. Do us a favour will you please?? text Arnav, my love – will you please?? We miss him so so so much right nowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!!! And if you reallyw ant me to not frown – then the least you can do for me is type out a text to him. Usee the Freaking Whtsapp na – I kind of Need it's amazing services at the moment.

Ofcourse dear mind– I know we are missing him way too much – but we were just on chat with him a while ago as they landed into Zurich na – he's technically clearing immigartions + customs right now + collecting up all the luggage and everything and he did say he will text me the minute he is on the train himself. I think it's better to not delay him in his process of making it to the Train Station in time with everyone Na. You do want to see Him by 430pm in Gstaad, now don't you? Since they are catching the 1pm Train Out of Zurich which is scheduled to reach Gstaad, by 430. Now we don't want him to miss the train na???????

My Mind and Heart Sulk out a pout – You do have a Point in there – K. Ok how about this text him in five minutes maybe?? Or just drop him a one liner na. Like he will reply if he can right – just push your luck for us – K.

I sigh as I dish out my phone out of my Denims. Ok Then Dear Insides. Only for you. I hear them go into a Collective Hurrah as I chuckle at my very own craziness again as I write down a text to Arnav.

Me : Arnav....my love...ok I know you are busy in transit and everything right now thike? but please know this is totally dear Heart + Mind'd doing ya...like they literally emotionally forced me into writing this text out to you – because they want you to know that at this moment as we are about to arrive into Gstaad in about 30 minutes and I am standing here by the window in between two carriages taking in the gorgeous view – I can't help but miss you Insane. Like Dear Heart and Mind are all like - sighhh if only Arnav was here with his arms around you K. This moment would have would have been Epic-ally Perfect Indeed.(Heartsssssssssssssssss)

I tap Send.

And whilst I am awaiting Arnav's reply – I would like to take this moment to tell you all that - We (as in the entire entrouge of our family + friends from the boys side)landed in Zurich at around 730 am in the morning – Swiss Time and we all then made our way to the Rail Station to hop on this gorgeous adorable Train – to get along our route to Gstaad. And the entire entrouge from the Girl's side – landed in Zurich at about 1130am – 4 hours after Us. We are also going to reach our hotel like about four hours before them and the hotels Inhouse Event planning team which has been working in top secrecy with our elders has mostly all of the stuff settled in place.

Also Since Switzerland – otherwise also does have a decent Indian Community in bigger cities and towns – it was easier for them to arrange everything for us – on that basis of cultural and religious arranegemnts as well.Once everyone arrives at around 430PM - we are also scheduled to get together for like a Evening round of Tea – at around 5ish as the Hotel is anyway just about 500 meters away from the train station.Also today it's just going to be a get together Dinner – later tonight.

I look at my phone now. No reply from Arnav yet.

Ok I think I can use the moments to give you all a Brief Glimpse into - The Schedule for the Wedding Events. The Schedule is as follows:

· 19th Dec(tomorrow) – Day at Leisure for everyone to just relax or engage in touristy activities planned by the Hotel's tours and concierge team and from 7Pm owards - Its Engagement + Dinner.

· 20 December – Day Time at Leisure again for touristy activities or relaxation time and from 7pm On its – Sangeet + Cocktails.

· 21st December : Noon onwards – Mehendi + Lunch followed by just casual dinner Get Together.

· 22 December : Day Wedding – Noon Onwards and At Night a Reception gathering amidst us all.

· The Venue's - for all the events are like the various Indoor banquets/party space/private spaces – amidst our Hotel itself for it's all Wintery and Piled up with Snow outside right? It's not feasible to have the functions out in the open. So instead all the Venues are Indoor Banquets and Spaces(some of which are going to be like some outdoor spaces encased in all Glass with the indoor space all warmed up as well) and it's totally because of the Centrally Heating Facilities that are all apt on in such Cold and Wintery Destination spots – that we will all be able to enjoy a room temperature atmosphere indoors– dress in all the outfits/ attires comfortably and bask in the feel of the Snow On the Outside as well.

Also a quick note on another point – apart from our close relatives and family circle on both sides – when it comes down to our friends travelling with us – Bhai & Anjali have a couple of their close friends from Nottingham join us – Akash has about two of his close friends joining in + Payal Joining in her Bhai(Rohan) and Bhabhi(Samaira) + their parents are Uncle and Aunty's guests as well on the wedding – and from Arnav's end its just Ravi + Cap + Sachi Maam (Baby Z is back in India with her grandparents for these couple of days )+ Rohan + Samaira(As I already mentioned)- for most of the other members on the team he is close with have some wedding functions/festivities happening at their families so they could not make it to join us here – but they are all going to attend the reception back in Delhi later on surely – and from my end its just Jess + Vikram and technically you can also include Shivi + Hridhaan in my friend list as well – although Ranjana aunty and their dad are also here as Mom and Dad's guests.

Ohh wait guys – gotta pause on the One on one with you all now for my Phone's just Beeped in my Hand.

It's Arnavvvvvvvvvvvv.

Him : Hey you Sparkleee...apologies for the delay in response by a couple of minutes. thank dear mind and heart for forcing you emotionally into texting me will you please?? I absolutely love it when they take over – you know that very well ofcourse. so all's smooth here and on time...Mostly everyones luggage has arrived – just Bua and Noor's one suitcase is awaited and then when we are all going to head to the station to get on the Train as well. Also yes it's a total pity that we are going onto be on these train rides all hours apart because I know its going to be all gorgeous outside. I so wish you'd be with me too – the moment would have been Epic-ally perfect Indeed. on that note – is Epic-ally even like a legit word – Sparkle??

I chuckle as I quickly reply back.

Me : haha..not really Skipper Blue. The word – Epic-ally is surely a another crazy invention of my crazy mind.(Heartsssss) Get on that train freaking soon na....can't just wait for you to reach Gstaad. Like let it be 430 Pm alreadyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!

Him : Copy that Sparkle for sure for you know as it is in the last couple of days of buzz + travelling separately – iv barely seen you privately ..havent even freaking kissed you ever since our time out in your study on the 15th afternoon and I am dying to obviously. please know that the only consolation I keep giving myself is that from this afternoon On – its going to be US around each other anyway and just US alone later on in the nights too

I smile as I read that.

Me : Copy that Skipper Blue. That's the exact consolation iv been giving myself too.(Heartssssssssssssss)

Him : also please know that everyone's so excited to meet India's little hit girl at our end – Sparkle.

Me : really???? copy that again..like half the fam jamm who is crazy about cricket anywy is crazily waiting to meet not just anjali but both her siblings too – also the one some all of their very favourite – Skipper Blue. They wont stop talking about itttttt. Be ready to sign a zillion freaking autographs – love!

Him : haha...very funny...hey on that note...how about you sign one for me again litte hit girl? Should I tell them that its your amazing cricketing notes that keep helping me in recall in gaming strategy on the field as well...

Me : hahahaha...very funny thike...you just sign your autographs...thike? don't you get extra cheeky with the relatives of my Gupta Clan – alright?

Him : haha..we will see about that Sparkle..acha listen to this...Anjali won't stop talking about you to everyone obviously. Actually – Mom, Dad, Dadi , Akash – all of them have been talking about you so lovingly to everyone as the topic shifts to the Boy's side and your reference comes up – that its just made everyone very excited to meet you in person for sure. also you tell me – are you still feeling nervous much ? at being hours away from meeting – Cap/Rohan/Ravi for real like with the formal introductions and everything as a player for India Women – I mean you always did want to introduce yourself to them in a professional setting.so nervous much? I am sure you are a little bit nervous about it...darling..but don't you be nervous at all. When you will meet them you will know that they are quite waiting to catch up with both Jess and You and they will tell you themselves how impressed they are by your games love...then you will know that when I tell you what they say – I am not being biased at all.

I grin as I read that.

Me : thank you so much love for letting me know all of this yaa..also as you already do know me so well na love so its just like I am thoda thoda nervous for sureee...like maybe no matter how much I had wanted to meet them in a formal setting professionally looks like it was always meant to happen this way na...so yup on the whole little nervous but okay...but you also promise me you wont be cheeky in stealing glances at me too obviously in front of them atleast now as in they are all my seniors na love...I mean I know Cap knows..but Ravi, Rohan sir don't know yet...na..so pleaseeeeee...pakka se promise me this...I am serious..

Him : ohh what ya dammit ?????????dont you ask me for this promise Sparkle..all seriously that too.I am anyway dying to see you and you know that and you do not want me to stare? Or steal glances? How unfair is this?

I grin as I read that. I know exactly what to write.

Me : If you promise to comply by full on formal Channel 2 then i promise to make up for this with a lot of interest my love...(hearts and kisses and winks)

Him : oh really? how so? Give me a glimpse into the How so bit of it will you please – Sparkle...

I grin as I read that and I feel my dear cheeks flush up as well on their own accord.

Me : well I mean..i will make up for it later tonight my love like after the get together and everything...for then it will be just you and me na..also....i cannot wait to sleep with your arms around me again Arnav..and you know that..

My phone beeps in Five seconds.

Him : and you know I can't wait for that bit off it too and also to see you the minute I wake up the following day – ok then Sparkle. It's a done Deal – I shall comply by Channel 2 like a polite gentleman for sure....no staring...no stealing extra glances...damm you..dammit...but be ready for a pay up later with a lot of interest..

Me : pakka se..i shall pay up not only with simple interest make it compound interest alright....(heartssssssssss and kisses and winks and hugs and flushed and blushed smile's)

Him : I love the sound of Compound Interest bit off it. Lets totally use it for our romance accounting from now on – ok Sparkle?

Me : done deal – Skipper Blue. Like we have a Major Consensus on that for sureeeee....

Him : ok Sparkle..everyones done with the luggage and everything now we are all heading towards the station it's a good thing that the Zurich airport has a rail station underneath the airport centre..saving us all a lot of time in transit for sure...

Me : yes I know..saved us so much time too ya... ok then my love...until we meet again soon....you carry on thike? ill see you soonnnn – Your Majesty of my Dear Heart – right in the middle of the wintery Fairytale Swiss Village feel for Realllllll(heartsssssssss) ok don't reply now thike..you carry on..im also making my way in to join everyone...

I tap send and put my phone back into my denims and start to make my way back in towards the carriage.

And it is right then – I spot Shivi step out the doors of the carriage with her eyes all welled up a little and I ask her worried touching her arm gently – " shivi..whats wrong??? Why do you look like you are going to cry??"

She hugs me tight instantly as she says - " khushi I am so sorry...I didn't realise this..as in it happened by mistake...and now bhai is all mad at me...he is also right about it though...it is my fault..oh god how could I be so stupid ya...," and before I can even question her next as to what this is about – she immediately runs past me into the washroom and locks it up.

I go after her immediately and knock the door and ask her to open up.

She does not listen obviously.

Right then I see Jess step out of the carriage door hurriedly as well and I rush to her worried as I ask – " jess...whats wrong? Why is shivi crying? Why is hridhaan mad at her? He never is.."

Jess sighs as she says – " khushi.. iv never seen him this mad at Shivi obviously myself as well...but he is kind of fuming at her right now..and she can't take it..she is feeling a tad bit guilty too actually which is why she is crying.."

I ask worried as I see Hridhaan and Vikram walk out the carriage too giving normal smiles and nod to everyone on their way out and once they were out I look at Hridhaan as I ask worriedly – " you are mad at Shivi – hridhaan? Why are you mad at her? You know she can't take it...,"and I can see his face twich in part anger and guilt now but he does not answer and I ask looking at Vikram next – " okay..Vikram can you tell me what this is about atleast please????"

Vikram nods and says – " okkk yes...so remember the couple of pictures we all just clicked a while ago amidst ourselves in the carriage and some as we were getting on the train...the numerous selfies the five of us clicked and then some of our group pictures with your mom and dad, and Rahul and hridhaan's parents in it..."

I nod at him as I say – " yess...ofcourseee...what about them? They were such lovely clicks..i did ask Shivi to share it with me as well.."

Hridhaan face continues to twich in anger and guilt – and I can't seem to get my head around to it – yet.

Jess sighs as she says – " well in her excitement of travelling and everything – shivi kind off just posted it up on her insta about an hour earlier without realising the affect it could have...and well....now....."

Oh No.

Dear Heart sighs.

I ask instantly a little worried - " and now what???"

Jess looks at me worriedly – " well its surely added a lot of fuel into the fire of the already somewhat raging rumours and whispers about you and Hridhaan for it caught some media persons eye surely...and now its all over the Internet again that we are all headed to some holiday to celebrate our contract renewal to grade B and everything and since both your parents and Rahul also is there in the couple of picture.. it's now all about..how the two of you as in Hridhaan and you are surely dating...thankfully Shivi did not tag the location yet...we just look like we are on some train in amidst the snow capped Europe..."

Hridhaan now says angrily – " I told shivi very specifically khushi that she will not put any picture up on social media without running it through my eye first...and specially not any that has us together in it and in her carelessless and excitement ..she's kind of done a blunder...I don't even know how to freaking apologize to you right now...I am so embarrassed...damm obviously I am mad at her..."

Jess shoots me a little worried look look – " well..also actually Khushi this time they are also talks about me and Vikram since we are spotted together in group pictures again...but since that's actually true its still okay na...as in both are parents are already aware of the fact that we are dating..so won't come off as a shock to them..."

Vikram instantly wraps his arms around Jess's shoulder lovingly and kisses her head – " don't worry Jess...whatever it is..we will handle it.."

Jess nods and I shoot her – Don't You worry Look.

She nods back at me in a comforting loving gesture.

Hridhaan sighs as he says angrily – " tell me Khushi...how can I not be mad at Shivi right now?? she knows ever since the rumours raged up..there might be chances that her social media was being watched..because she is my sister...and bamm..now this whole thing is going to sparr out of control again...and its going to cause problems not just for you and Mr Stranger but Jess and Vikram too..."

I take deep breathes first as I take it all In.

Okkk.

This is Not Shivi's fault.

I mean she is only just 15 ya..its totally normal for her to miss the gravity of it all in her excitement. We all get carried away when Excited.

I say immediately now looking at Hriddhan – " okay...so first thing out you need to calm down Hridhaan...whats wrong with you? she's only 15 ya..ho jata hai excitement mein..its not like she did it on purpose thike??"

And right then I hear Shivi's teary voice behind me – "I swear Khushi..i did not do this on purporse..it was a genuine mistake on my end like in all this excitement of travelling to Gstaad and the atmosphere and everything...I told bhai..that ill take the pictures off...I am going to take them off as well..."

Hridhaan looks at her angrily – " whats the point Shivi? As if the tabloids don't have a copy of those pictures already? They are being circulated all over...now..it doesn't matter if you take it off...infact if you do..it will make things worse in speculation...just let them be"

Shivi hugs me teary eyed and sobs again – " oh god khushi..i am so sorry..."

I shoot Hridhaan an angry glare as I say – " don't be angry at her Hridhaan..pleaseeeeee...its not her fault..,"and I kiss Shivi's head lovingly as I say – " please don't cry this way Shivi..this is such a happy trip for us all ya...I don't want you to cry..."

Jess joins me in consoling Shivi too – so does Vikram and once again Hridhaan is standing all taut and angry still.

What's up with him?

I have never seen him this angry at Shivi ever and I do not like the fact that this is because of me obviously.

I feel Guilty – about this surely.

Dear Mind – Rake yourself Up.Think of a Solution Pleaseeeeeeeee!!

And right my Dear Mind says all thoughtful. Ok so Dire Times= Fastracked Measures – K. I have an idea. Process this thought through will you please?

And just as I do – It actually Clicks.

Oh wait Guys.

I think I can handle this.

I quickly look at Jess, Vikram and Hridhaan as I say – " ok guys..take shivi back in please...and hridhaan please don't be angry at her at all...I think I can handle this...ok??just give me a minute...I need to make a quick call...let's handle this...k?"

Vikram, Hridhaan and Jess look at me as they ask – " what are you going to do Khushi??"

I say – " give me five minutes...ill be with you all okay?"

Jess asks cryptically – " you need to tell Mr Stranger surely??"

I nod.

Hridhaan sends out an embarrassed sigh – " I don't even know how many times will I apologize to him..i m so freaking embarrassed..."

Shivi whispers brokenly – " bhai I am so sorry..it was not on purpose...I swear..."

And as I gesture him too – Hridhaan finally nods and hugs Shivi to his side and says – " alright..alright...now don't cry...just don't post anything out on social media anymore..please? atleast before running it through me..k?"

She nods and I ask Jess – " also Jess, have mom, dad or bhai spotted this yet?"

Jess shakes her head – " no ya they are all busy chatting and catching up with everyone...I spotted it because sheena di texted me first...as in..she spotted it up online and shared it with me...which when I went online to check it out myself...I mean otherwise you know how we were all busy chatting amidst ourselves when you stepped out to freshen up..."

I nod at her as I say – " okay...please fill them in on this you all ..okay? Ill join you in..i obviously want them to know from us.."

Hridhaan nods as he says – " I will talk to Sagar uncle and Rahul first.."

I nod at him and I ruffle Shivi's hair lovingly – " don't you worry at all Shivi...okay? We wont let this convert into trouble in our heads k? you calm down and stop crying please..."

She nods at me lovingly and hugs me tight once more and finally as they all head in I dish out my phone back in at the speed of Light.

I text Arnav quickly.

Me : Love...need to talk to you..urgent..like super urgent...can I have two minutes with you....i know you are on your way to everyone..but I need to talk to you right now..

My phone beeps in ten seconds.

Him : Sparkle – all okay? Why do you sound so worried??? Give me ten seconds..im just lagging out aside from the group and calling you you.

I sigh in relief.

My phone Buzzes with his Call in Eight seconds.

I pick it up urgently and I hear Arnav's loving and worried voice come through – " tum theek ho Sparkle? you okay ?? kya hua? Answer me dammit...I am shit worried.."

I sigh as I say – " ohhk looks like I am going to be the one to tell you about this first love...like thank god to that..,"

He asks puzzled – " what do you mean love??"

I quickly explain – "so I was just on my way back into the carriage after our chat and....,"and I quickly and hurriedly explain him everything that has happened and minutes later as I am done he says relief evident in his voice - " okayyy thank god this is just about another social media controversy...don't you worry about me at all Sparkle...you know I give a dammm..are you okay though??"

And I sigh as I admit – " yeahh I am okay..not that shaken anymore..i mean like you now thoda immunity hogaya hai in me about all this...and I also know you don't care love...but I am feeling so guilty that shivi was crying this way..as in..i cant take the fact that Hridhaan was so mad at her for this..i mean I have never seen him this mad at her ever....so then I thought of something like a little way of handling this...that I wanted to discuss with you obviously first..."

He says lovingly – " you are my angel love..such a kind heart..always also thinking about the rest...."

I sigh as I say – " ohh please...ya...don't you get all biased right now..its just you know I can never see anyone crying because of me directly or indirectly na...acha listen na baba..."

He says instantly – " i know you are disturbed about shivi feeling so disturbed...just ask her not to worry though and hridhaan was also right...let the pictures be on now..no point in taking them off...and am all ears...tell me what is it that you'v thought off........."

I say now in a rush – " okay love hear me out...one thing iv figured about how this online social media chinese whisper fireworks &co is that the attention towards it can be diverted and distracted as in...if another viral topic comes out then the prior viral topic does lose some steam...."

I hear him chuckles at that as he says – " my precious adorable Sparkle...figuring her way through the modern day worldy Chinese whispers with such ease...ohh man..am I proud of you for this..so freaking proud....Sparkle...see you are faring brilliantly my love..."

I chuckle a little at that as I say clutching onto my phone tight – " I love you..okay..now hear me out...tell me what do you think off this...ravi is so full on active on insta na always he's only been keeping low about the wedding stuff because you requested him too...what if you ask him to go all out on his Insta with Bhai and Anjali's wedding news...as in that – that is exactly where you all are headed for the wedding of your sister..anyway speculations are on since you all are seen travelling..ask him to reveal that Anjali Raizada is marrying Rahul Gupta who is my brother In a cozy family and friends gathering at a destination wedding....."

I hear his surprised voice come through – " wait??????? What???? sparkle what did you just say? are you sure??? you are okay with this? You wana trigger it out yourself?

I sigh as I admit – " arnav..love...like I told you last...hungama ho toh sach ka hona...and this is the truth anyway...it was going to come to light anyway in a couple of days...if Ravi posts this up now..itll probably distract the steam off Hridhaan and Me atleast...you know what I mean right????? I know the spotlight will shift gears with me around nonetheless but atleast it will be about a true fact na... like dear mind could totally think off this solution as dire times = fastracked measures...and also honestly I am anyway almost ready to handle this love...can you please tell me what's your take on this??"

He sighs as he says – " well to be honest Sparkle...I think you are right...it will be a good distraction off you and hridhaan for sure..and this revelation is going to happen in a matter of days nonetheless...so I see no harm in leaking this bit out now...I also know you are in a better state of mind to handle this bit now..."

I say immediately – " okay then just wait for my text thike..ill just quickly go back across into the carriage and talk to mom, dad and Rahul and tell them that I am thinking of calling Anjali and asking her to request Ravi to do so...Jess , hridhaan, vikram are currently filling them up on this...I am sure they will agree with me on this.."

He says immediately – " yes sure..Sparkle... ill wait for your text..ill obviously not ask him to do anything until you reconfirm my love.."

I take a deep breathe nervously as I ask – " love...i..i.."

He asks lovingly – " yes Sparkle..tell me what is it??"

I say honestly sure he could sense the emotion in my voice – " even though I know I am equipped to handle this bit off it...incase I falter in my steps..catch me okay...for only you can be my calm amidst this worldly chaos...you are my Calm Love...you are my calm..my peace..my contentment – you are all of that and so much more...you know that don't you??"

He says immediately very emotionally – " I know Sparkle..and ill always catch you don't you worry..at all..always..and id like to copy the rest of your words too...now cmon quick talk to uncle, aunty and Rahul and let me know okay??? Bua's just calling out to me to join the rest of the group for wev almost reached the station and she's looking at me with narrowed inquisitive eyes.."

I chuckle at that as I say – " really???? is she now?? acha thike aap jao...ill handle it here..thike? ill text you..see you soon my love...come soon pleaseeee..."

He says immediately love totally shining in his tone – " coming soon to you my love...coming very soon..."

I quickly hang Up.

And I take a Couple of Deep Breathes to compose myself and I look out the window again at the stunning view of the Swiss Alps around and Snow.
