The Beginning of the Journey

It is all about a boy named 𝐕𝐢𝐡𝐚𝐚𝐧 𝐒𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐦𝐚. He belonged to a middle class family in Shimla. He worked as a chef at The Oberoi, Delhi. He had been to his hometown on a vacation and had planned a trip to the Sunderbans with his friends. He was effervescent about the trip. The day before the journey, he packed all his necessaries that he would require over the tour including a telescope, a compass, a camera, his all time favourite magazines and some food stuffs.

The jouney began with the local diesel train from shimla to chandigarh which was super exciting. And he had a gang of crazy friends with him accomplicing him with some crazy crimes over the trip. The first one namely 𝐑𝐚𝐠𝐡𝐚𝐯 𝐉𝐚𝐢𝐧, from his surname one can easily understand that this guy is a pure vegetarian but he isn't actually. His family tradition says, human beings should never destroy the life of any other living animal for its benefits and bla.. bla.. but to the contrary Raghav most of the time enjoys having a lunch with some chicken gravy with it. The second one is 𝐌𝐨𝐡𝐢𝐭 𝐌𝐢𝐬𝐡𝐫𝐚, he is the most treacherous guy in my friend list. The third one is 𝐍𝐚𝐦𝐚𝐧 𝐒𝐢𝐧𝐡𝐚, the most exasperating guy. He speaks nonsense all the time. Explaining some tedious stories realted to his kinship with his so called girlfriend.

So this was Vihaan's gang. They all enjoyed the train journey. Mohit used to get down to the platform at every station the train used to stop. He would go and irritate the TTE regarding the ticket. And then Vihaan announced that, he was damn hungry. Raghav was the first one to enquire if there was any chicken cuisine in the lunch and fortunately he was lucky enough that Naman's lunch box had Chicken Chilly. All enjoyed the lunch. It was toothsome. It was about 3'O clock when they boarded at Chandigarh Station and arranged a cab to the Chandigarh International Airport which was about 20 kms away from the railways station.

And now they were in the Chandigarh International Airport, waiting for the flight to Kolkata whose official time was 5'O clock but was arriving late by 2 hours and thus the Vihaan's gang became active to perturb others. At this moment Vihaan was sitting all alone in the waiting hall and he suddenly got a stauching attraction towards a girl in a golden top with a black pencil skirt followed by glittering mules. She looked exquisite. It took Vihaan a minute to realise that she was asking him about the boarding time of the same flight. For the first time in life, Vihaan felt jittery to speak to someone. Anyway he build out some courage and said, "The flight is 2 hours late miss." And suddenly his face turned all red and he thought what the hell did he said just now. The girl smiled upon oberving Vihaan blushing. And when he realized the girl has gone, he got irritated that he had forgotten to even ask her the name.

It was 7'O clock now and the airbus Indigo A320 had landed and the passengers are ready to board. Vihaan found that his seat was far away from his friends and he needed to talk to all of them regarding that staunching moment in the waiting hall and when he was just about to sit in his seat, the same girl appeared again. She walked grandeurly and sat behind Vihaan. Vihaan's jubliancy knew no bounds. He was super excited but jittery as well. And then the air hostess makes the announcement,

"Good Evening! Ladies and Gentlemen.

Welcome onboard this flight to Kolkata.

My name is Lita Brenette and I'm Your In-flight Service Director.

Your cabin crew are here to ensure you have an enjoyable flight to Kolkata this evening."

And as the plane was about to take off, the girl sitting beside Vihaan grasped his hands tightly and explained with panic, " I'm so sorry but I really used to get too scared when the plane takes off. If you don't mind can I please hold your hand until the plane takes off." Vihaan had no words to utter instead he just nodded his head in agreement. But deep inside he was so ecstatic.
