"So, you talked to your parents about our trip, right?" I asked him as we sat in our seats.

"Hnji, I did. What about you?"

"I did too!!" I replied and looked outside the window, taking the last glance before the train started. 

"You know, travelling by train reminded me of college times, I always used to travel by train." I broke the silence.

"You used to go alone or with friends?" He asked, looking at me.

"In the initial days, I used to go alone and really hated the ride because it was too boring and with random people asking about my life, but then I got my friends and then used to travel with them, it used to be so fun," I replied, looking at him.

"We used to play many games, watch movies and what not. I swear it was so fun." My lips curled up as I remembered my time with my friends.

"It sounds so fun." He mused while smiling.

"What about you, any memory?" I asked.

"Not any particular. I rarely used to use train. I don't even remember when last time I travelled by it." He replied.

I nodded, and stared at him, who was yawning.

"Tired?" I asked.

"I am feeling sleepy."

 I passed him a smile and whispered, "Come to me."

His lips curled up in a wide smile and in seconds his head was on my lap, and my hands were shuffling through his brown hairs. His hands wrapped around my waist, pulling me closer and feeling my warmth. And in minutes his eyes were closed, and he was sleeping just like that.

A smile formed on my face as I admired him, my eyes staring at his eyes and then they dropped to his lips, which were parted away a little. And last night's scene flashed into my mind, making my cheeks heat. His mouth devouring me while his hands around my waist.

I ignored the feeling inside me, and stared at him, somehow his presence prettier than anything.

"I am not sleepy at all." I whined.

"We slept in the train, love. "He chuckled.

"It's because of you! If you wouldn't have slept, I wouldn't have too." I teased.

"Keep blaming, love." He replied making me smile in annoyance.

"Let's go outside?" 

"Sure, let's roam around as sleep is far away from both of us." I nodded and wore my slippers and stood in front of the door, waiting for him as he was wearing his shoes.

"Done." He exclaimed and stood near me.

He leaned towards me and pressed his lips on mine, making my heartbeat fast and my breath hitch. But before he could pull away, I grabbed his collar and kissed him properly. 

I could feel his smile.

"Now, let's go, husband." I said smiling, after breaking the kiss.

"Ahh you are going to kill me, Ritika." 

I smiled and interlocked our hands and we went outside.

The cool air slapped my face as we step outside, but the place was too beautiful and peaceful, greenery every side.

"This is heaven in earth." He muttered under his breath.

"I truly believe. Let's go for walk." I mused.

And with that we started walking down the area, taking in the beauty of nature, the soft scents of flowers and warmth of each other's presence.

Until we spot a group of around 5 students, in front of the bon fire chatting.

I looked at them and looked at Advik, "Awe see them!"

He smiled, "They are enjoying."

As if noticing our presence, a girl called us,"Hey?"

"Hie!" I replied with a smile.

"Wanna join us?" She asked.

I looked at Advik, and he was already staring, with a smile on his face as if telling me to decide, "Sure!" I replied.

"Great then come here!" I nodded and we both went towards them and sat beside each other.

"Omg he is so handsome." The one sitting beside him spoke. 

"So, you guys live here?" The girl who called us asked.

"No, actually we are here for trip. What about you guys?" I replied while smiling at her.

"Actually same! So which college you both are from?"

As she asked that question a laughter burst from me, and I looked at Advik who was already laughing. 

"Wait, why are you guys laughing?" This time the guy beside me asked.

"We are married." This time Advik, spoke making my heartbeat race faster.

"WHAT?" 

"Really?"

"When did that happened?"

The questions flooded in seconds, and a smile played on my face.

"We recently got married," a replied.

"I believe it was love marriage, how you convinced your parents?" The girl Infront of me asked.

"Nope, it was arranged marriage." Advik replied smiling.

"You guys are literally shocking." 

I smiled," So, what about you guys? From where you all are?"

"We are from Guwahati!" 

"Wait we forgot to give introduction, so i am Saina." The girl who invited me said.

"And i am Piyush!" The boy beside me mused.

"Me Raina!" The girl behind Advik spoke.

"I, rijul!" 

"Oh great, I am Ritika!"

"And I am, Advik." We introduced ourselves.

And soon we all talked about the random things, sharing a part of our lives, probably them about talking about their crushes and asking us about our wedding life.

"Wanna play truth and dare?" Raina spoke.

"Yes!" We all muttered in unison.

"Let me flip the bottle." Rijul spoke.

The bottle landed on Saina and she cursed, "Why the fuck it's me always?"

I laughed, "so truth or dare?"

"Ummmmm!!"

"Don't think much and just choose." Raina muttered.

"So, truth!"

"Tell embarrassing moment of your life."

"Oh easy! getting dumped by a guy to whim I never met." She replied.

"What really?" I asked.

"Yes, and bro now I look at that chomu, I feel disgusted like what do I even find in him?" We laughed at her remark.

"Flip the bottle!"

We kept playing, splitting secrets of each other, teasing each other with the dares.

"Oh, it stopped at me." I spoke.

"So, what you will take, Ritika?" Advik whispered while a smirk plastered on his handsome face, making me shiver.

I rubbed my shoulder feeling cold suddenly but replied, "Dare, husband."

As if sensing that I was getting cold, he pulled out his coat but before he could make me wear it, Raina interrupted, "No need to do that, Advik!"

He stopped and looked at them with a frown, "Why?"

"Ritika's dare is to sit on your lap for whole game." As those words left her words, my eyes widened and I could feel my heartbeat rise.

I averted my gaze towards him, a playful smile was playing on his face, I rolled my eyes.

"Come, wife." he smirked.

I stood up from my seat, and he held my hands and made me sit on his lap. I sat comfortably but the proximity was making the things heat up.

He was so close, his hands were around my waist, and my back was touching his hard chest.

Ah this was so hot!

"Bhai, they look sooo adorable!" Rijul whined, making us smile but my breath hitched when his hand went under my t-shirt.

What was he doing?

I looked at him, and he was staring in front but sensing my gaze he looked down and frowned.

"Husband, don't act innocent. You know what you are doing." I teased.

"What am I doing, wife?" He spoke while his palm rested on my stomach, igniting a shiver down my spine.

His touch would kill me.

But before I could reply to him, Piyush spoke, "So, Advik what would you choose? Truth or dare?"

"Truth." He replied.

"Ummm!"
