By the evening Ana and Jia both had managed to convince the other two for the trip.
"Do I seem stupid to you to organize all this stuff, spent my hard earned money just to get a straight no from you"?
"Hard earned money"? Adrick laughed
"Is it a joke to you? my whole spring break had gone past just babysitting the neighbour's children... it is definitely hard earned money"
"Oh! I see someone is growing up"
"Yes! Now will you just appreciate my efforts"?
" I will go but I can't face her now... she's not the old Nuri whom I loved Ana... I just don't know what has happened to her from the past few days"
"She has gone through a lot Adrick, she has faced a lot, it was obvious for her to just throw out her anger on anyone not just you, after all we get upset with the people whom we love"
"Stop giving me false hopes, she doesn't love me"
"She does, you'll see"
"What has she faced"?
"You know about Amit right? you should've known because you were the one spoiling their friendship"
"Stop it"
"Whatever, Amit doesn't even notice her calls and messages too and her brother what was his name.....?"
"Ariket"
"Yeah, he too doesn't wanna talk to her"
"Oh! how can they do that to her"
"Misunderstanding bro.... You know, they are so powerful that they can break the most beautiful relationship in a second"
"You have a chance at the trip... reconcile them Adrick, be the human you always wanted to be and you are that human.... "
"Now let's pack our luggage the flight is in 5 hours"

"So, baby doll, are you ready to go to the trip"
"What trip? you still think I am ready to go to the trip"?
"See, we haven't spent our father's money on these clothes to just keep that in a dump at the side of the cupboard."
"So what, we'll wear them in college"
"And what about Ana's money"? she's like a child to us.... she had earned all the money babysitting her neighbour's children during the spring break, we can't just let her money go in drains"
"You get money to babysit children"?
" Obviously yes, it's not like our Asian neighbours, here they pay generously to the babysitters"
"That's so good, I would love to babysit someone"
"Stop being greedy now, are you ready"?
" Okay, fine "
"And you'll talk to him"
"Regarding what? he was the barrier between Amit and me"
"Yeah, but you did the worse... you just blamed his parents"
"Okay, I'll apologize to him"
"That's like my girl"
"Come on, let's go Ana's hotel then"
"What about the warden"
"I have already taken her permission... just need to handover the application to her"
"Let's go"
________________________________________________
They reached Ana's hotel and two had a slightest glance of each other. Ana rushed to hug her..
"You made my day today, thank you so much for accompanying us"
"It's because of you sweetheart, I can't resist the love you have given me"
"Aww, you're making me emotional" She hugged Nuri.
"Oh, girls and their nonsense buttering"
"Shut up Adrick" the trio shouted.
"Oh my goodness, this is not the girl power I needed"
everyone laughed.
They reached the airport and after the security checks, they had half an hour left with them.
"Let's get spiced pumpkin latte" said Ana
"Sorry but I am not into hot beverages"
"That's okay, but you can try it once, believe me you'll love it"
"Okay... Jia would you like to accompany me"?
" No, let Jia sit here, I'll accompany you"
"That's okay,I'll accompany her"
They left....
There was a silence for next 10 minutes.
"It's a bit awkward but umm is there anything you want to say to me"? asked Adrick
" No"
"Alright, are you excited"?
" Yes"
"Do you.... "
"Stop asking Nonsence" Nuri left the place and went to the nearby Zara store.
"Where is Nuri? You and your stupid behaviour... where is she" Ana shouted
"I did nothing, it's her annoying attitude... you always have to blame me for everything"
"But what did you say"? asked Jia
He narrated the whole incidence.
" That's definitely awkward, asking questions like a roadside romeo"... now go and bring her"
"I'll not"
"You have to... let's go Jia"
Adrick brought her from the store forcefully which looked more like a mother carrying a child from the toy store. They boarded the flight
"Leave me now, stop acting like a mother"
"Girls like you need to be treated like this... you're so stubborn"
"Sir, ma'am, I need you to board your respective seats" said a flight attendant.
"I can't find my seat"
"It's right here, next to the handsome sir"
"Nooooo, Kindly check it again, there has to be a mistake"
"No ma'am your seat is next to him"
She gave a odd look to Ana and Nuri and all they can say was "Sorry" through lipsync.
Nuri sat there like a grumpy kid whose toy had been snatched by her mother.
The flight started and they didn't talk to each other for the next two hours. As usual Nuri was busy reminiscing her memories back in India. She had tears in her eyes seeing her brother, Amit and her last picnic together before moving to the US. Adrick wanted to wipe her tears but hold himself back.
"I can't do this to her... she needs to talk to her brother and her best friend" he thought to himself.
Nuri didn't realise she felt asleep soon after on Adrick's shoulder. He wanted to hug her tightly and make her sleep comfortably and he couldn't resist that. He kept her phone in his pocket and hugged her tightly and made her sleep comfortably in his arms.Soon, he felt asleep and they slept like babies for 7 hours. (it was because of the lack of sleep the previous night). . ...
