Chapter -13
My dad raced our family car to the railway station which had me, mom, DJ, his mom and his dad (and of-course my dad, as he was driving). DJ's dad sat on the front seat with my dad, I was on one window side and DJ was on the other side. Our moms were squashed in the middle of our old-fashioned car. All the luggage was loaded in the rear of the car. This was finally the camp day and no matter the fact that we were all crushed in the car, my excitement was hard to control. DJ seemed bright and shining too....
As soon as we reached the station, we were greeted by the familiar noise of passing trains, hurrying people and vendors. The station was tightly packed as during summer vacations, almost all families spend the holidays out of station. Hurriedly, we all rushed towards the train, relieved that it hadn't left the station without us.
"Oh hoh, if the train would have left without our kids what would have happened?", my mom scoffed at my dad.
"C'mon at least we made it. No one's late. So why angry?" My dad replied smiling.
"Now's not the time for all that. We need to safely see them off," said DJ's mom as soon as the whistle was heard.
"That's right. Fast fast," said DJ's dad,hurrying to load our luggage on the train. We got our berths in the AC compartment, which was booked by the school authorities.
As the train started to move on, I and DJ were on our windows and our parents outside the train, waving and giving us last-minute instructions.
"Bye Sarah and DJ. Take care", said our dads simultaneously.
"Yeah take care and eat well. Don't ignore your health. Don't stay awake late. And behave well. And DJ, protect Sarah like the sister you never had, right?", said DJ's mom suspiciously.
I got embarrassed. I mean, SISTER?
But DJ put up a plain face and simply nodded.
My mom, instead of saying anything, was crying. Seriously, crying......
"My Sarah (sob, sob) is for the first time going away from me for 20 days (sob, sob, sob). How can I not cry? She's still a child. Please take care of her DJ, as a good friend would (sob, sob)", my mom broke down.
Thank God she didn't say SISTER. Maybe she's hinted my feelings for DJ....
I said, "Mom, I'm 16. Don't worry, I'll take care. DJ's there for me. Aren't you?" Turning for the first time towards him in front of my parents.
"Sure. Don't worry Mrs. Sharma," said DJ.
We didn't have much time as the train gathered speed.
"BYE," we all chorused together. And with the turning of the train, I lost sight of my parents.
I let out a sigh and took my seat which was next to DJ. He too sat next to me,facing me. I fell a bit queasy - I'd never traveled without my parents before. Wouldn't I be lonely? Well I guess there's always a first time for anything....
Immediately I broke the silence with the first thing that entered my mind.
"You don't think of me as your sister, right?", I blurted out.
But then I fell stupid.
Still, he said placidly, "No way, you're my friend and classmate only."
I let out a small sigh of relief. As after my lame question to him about Diya, our communications had deteriorated, I took out my MP4 and started listening to my favorite songs to avoid an awkward silence. He too out a book and got deeply engrossed in it.
After about an hour, I got bored and wanted to do something else. Keeping down my MP4, I looked around randomly. Suddenly, my eyes got glued on the book which he was reading - HARRY POTTER!! (and the deathly hallows)...
"Hey, you didn't tell me that you were reading Harry Potter. Are you a potter fan too?" I squealed.
Immediately, I snatched the book from his hand and looked at the title again, as if I doubted my eyes. I was a biiig potter fan....
Then I realized the stupidity of my sudden action. Damn my childish nature....
But DJ seemed childish too. He stood up and snatched it back. I too got up and then we started pulling the book. Alas, he had more strength than me and his one tuck pulled the book towards him with me too! As the train suddenly stopped on a station, the retardation made him fall on his seat and with that I fell on top of him once again!
For a moment I looked at his face which was centimeters apart from mine and at my body pressed against his, and the I got up, fully red in the face.
"Hey Sarah, do you think that falling on me with your 100 kg body so many times is fun? Well for me it isn't. Next time you do it, I may have to be admitted in a hospital. Now do you want that?" DJ asked mischievously, red in the face too.
"First of all, I'm of 48 kg not 100.Then, I don't fall on you on purpose. This time it's the trains fault and last time it was your fault. Alright?" I replied, grinning.
And with that, we got engaged in a series of humorous dialogs and had a great time then suddenly DJ got serious and said, "Ummm, please Sarah sorry for me being so stern on you when you asked about Diya. I was being egoistic."
"It was hard on me but now it's all fine DJ. Please don't repeat it," I replied.
Then we were back to being good friends just as before the fight. We discussed Harry Potter for a long time. Whenever I exclaimed how handsome Harry Potter was, he made a strange face. Was he jealous? I wish!
Nightfall came and we had our homemade dinner together. By far we were having a great time. After dinner, we were back to talking.
"I never had a friend who is a boy," I said.
"Really? I, well, Diya was not my friend, so I never had a friend who is a girl too," he replied.
"Tell me about your friends," I asked.
"My friends are fine and a lot of them are interested in you. So beware....," he said.
"Really?" I chuckled, "Am I so pretty," I chuckled.
"Yes, sigh, you are the prettiest girl whom I've ever seen," he said with so much soberness in his voice that I blushed.
"You are handsome too.....", and my voice trailed off.
The humorous environment evaporated and an emotional air engulfed us.
Whoa....Really? DJ being emotional? For me? With this emotional air I could not talk further, so after switching off the lights, we went to sleep.
I slept soundly. Sleeping in train is so much fun. The entire compartment is vibrating and I feel as if I'm in a baby hammock.
In the morning, I woke up late and went to brush my teeth and freshen up. To my surprise, DJ was already up and ready. He was still reading his book.
"C'mon study head. I never knew that you were such an early bird. How come?" I volunteered to tease, hoping that last night's emotional scenario had left.
"That's because I'm neither a sleepy head, nor a lazy bird like you. So you see, I woke up early", he grinned.
"Hey DJ, can you permit me to do something to you?" I asked in an artificially sweet voice.
"I'm available, mam. Just don't take away my virginity. I'm planning to save it till marriage", he said, grinning wider.
"Alright, so what I want to do is this," I growled, hitting him hard several times with my pillows.
We then fought for about several minutes. and went back to talking. The scene outside the train was pretty, sometimes gusty villages and sometimes busy towns and cities.
We reached our destination at 11:30 am sharp. With a pounding heart, I gathered my luggage and with DJ stepped out of the train in which I'd spend a glorious time with him. This journey had broken all the remaining tension between us and I was happy. I just wished that the journey had gone on forever with DJ so near me... sigh....
