Iknoor quickly got changed into the co-ord set she had chosen to wear for the travelling.It would take them at least 5-6 hours to reach Mahabaleshwar and she wanted to sit comfortably so she hadn't opted for jeans or anything else that would make her uncomfortable throughout the journey.



(Ignore the shoes and the hairs)

She made a messy bun out of her long hair because there wasn't any point in styling them when she had to sit in the car for 6 hours.

She took a small suitcase which had her belongings and took a sling bag instead of a handbag and made her way downstairs because Nirvair was already ready and had gone downstairs.

"Arre pyjama party mein jaana tha kya hame?"Nirvair said as soon as she stepped downstairs.

Aayat,Hriday and Iti were already there,Iti sleeping on her father's shoulder as it was too early for her.

Iknoor very well knew why he had said that and to whom it was directed.

"Isse co-ord set kehte h..........chodo mein bhi kise samjha rahi hu"Iknoor said intentionally and Nirvair chuckled at her response making her roll her eyes at him.

"Chodiye inhe bhabhi,inka hamesha ka hi h"Hriday said as he made his way outside the house carrying his sleeping daughter with him.

Nirvair then picked up the luggage that Aayat had which was a big suitcase which had all three of their outfits.He was about to take Iknoor's luggage too but she denied stating she could manage.

His shoulder was still hurt.

Nirvair didn't pester her,she might again say that he was trying to pretend.

"Tu peeche beth Hriday"Nirvair said as Hriday was about to sit on the passenger seat.

"Kyu?"Hriday asked.

"Arre Aahad yaha bethega na isliye,tu peeche beth woh peeche nhi bethega mujhe pata h"Nirvair said because Inaya and Aahad were also coming with them on this trip,he had only invited them too because he liked it when many people travelled together.

Just than Aahad and Inaya also came to their house,a servant carrying their luggage behind them.

Aahad went and directly sat on the passenger seat beside Nirvair who was on the driving seat.

Hriday stepped aside letting Inaya and Iknoor settle down in the last seat as he and Aayat sat in the middle seat with Iti sleeping between them.

Nirvair sat on the driver's seat and drove away the car,it was very early in the morning so the family was asleep and that's why nobody was there to see them off.

Nirvair played the radio and Iknoor literally was surprised.

Who plays the radio now a days?

Plus the song which was playing was so boring!

"Hriday zara bluetooth on karo na"Iknoor said as she wanted to connect her phone's Bluetooth with the car and then play songs.

Hriday did as asked and turned on the Bluetooth but Iknoor's mobile wasn't connecting to the car's Bluetooth.

"Kitna time lagega waha puchne ke liye bhai?"Hriday asked to Nirvair.

"5-6 ghante"Nirvair said and Hriday sighed.

"Aap gayi h Mahabaleshwar kabhi bhabhi?"Aayat asked curiously because this was her first time visiting the place.

"Harr saal family trip hoti thi hamari Mahableshwar ki,baarish ke time pr,mere saare bhai,thatha,Patti,chittappa,Periappa,periamma,chittamma,nani,nanu hum sab jaatein h"Iknoor shared delightfully because this was something she always looked forward to every year even though they visited the same place and did the same thing every year it was close to her heart because this was the much needed family time they all cherished.

"Hrr saal?itna accha h?"Aayat asked.

"Haa matlab hill station h na,aur baarish ke time pr toh kya scene hota h waha ka,plus Mumbai ki busy life se  durr Shanti milti h waha jaakr"Iknoor said.

"Mahabaleshwar acchi jagah h"Inaya too agreed with her because she too had visited the place a few times with the family.

Iknoor nodded and smiled at her.Maybe the three can be friends.

Iknoor never had many friends, actually except Avir she didn't have any friends in her life.

Aayat smiled hearing it,the place sounded nice then.

The rest of the ride Inaya,Iknoor and Aayat had small conversations because the songs that were playing were really too boring for the three of them and the boys didn't really care what music played because they were busy talking amongst themselves about God knows what.

It was only when they decided to take a break around 9 am because they were hungry now did they stop at a local hotel.

"Pizza"Iti immediately said when the waiter came to take their order.

"Iti yeh koi time....

"Yaha se nhi Iti,jaha hum jaa rahe h na waha pizza khayenge,waha bht tasty pizza milta h"Iknoor said before Hriday could say anything.

Great!

"Aap inhe bigad dengi aise bhabhi"Hriday said.

"Ha toh,meri periamma bhi yahi krti h hum sabke saath,mein bhi badi maa hu matlab mujhe bhi yahi krna h....wese bhi pizza ke liye kon naa bolta h?"Iknoor said looking at Hriday.

"Papa bolte h badi maa"Iti said thinking she was asking who denies for pizza making everyone chuckle at her antics.

"Koi baat nhi,ab aapke papa mana nhi karenge"Iknoor said making Iti smile widely.

They ordered their breakfast and Nirvair had gone to wash his hands so when he arrived and saw the dosa placed on the table he without asking whose it was started eating it.

"Woh badi maa ka h buddy"Iti said as she saw Nirvair eating Iknoor's dosa.

He turned and looked at his wife,who was staring at him only.

"Mein sirf taste kr raha tha...acha h,tum khaa sakti ho"Nirvair said as he slid the plate towards her.

Iknoor rolled her eyes hearing him and started eating her dosa as everyone were eating whatever they had ordered.

Ending their breakfast with a steaming cup of tea they all paid the bill and left towards their car.

"Arre madam zara yeh car yaha se hatane boliye na,meri car iske peeche h"A man came towards them and said to them because he thought it was their car which was blocking his car.

Iknoor nodded and got into the car because Nirvair had given her the car keys as he had gone to use the restroom.

She removed the car from the way letting the person get his car out of the parking.

"Inaya beth jao aage"Iknoor said making Inaya confused.

"Pr aage toh Nirvair bhai aur Aahad bethe the na?"Inaya asked.

"Ha pr ab hum beth te h,wese bhi yeh ladke bht boring gaane chala rahe h,aur inko wese hi baat krni h,toh inhe peeche bethkr baatein krne do"Iknoor said she was utterly bored by now and wished to enjoy for the rest of the way.

"Pr Aahad peeche nhi bethte h kabhi bhi"Inaya said mentioning her husband's habit of sitting at the front seat.

"Mein gaadi chalaungi ab,mein yaha bethi hu toh woh aage nhi bethenge,isliye tum beth jao yaha, Nirvair aur Aahad Bhai dono hamari jagah pr peeche beth jayenge"Iknoor said.

"Arre tum peeche jao"Nirvair said as he walked towards the car and saw his wife on the driving seat.

"Nhi tum peeche jao"Iknoor said.

Aahad too stood beside Nirvair looking at the ladies who were sitting in the front seats.

"Aap dono peeche beth jao,hume aage bethna h abhi"Iknoor said to both of them.

"Madam,abhi bhi 3-3.5 ghante ka raasta bacha h,itna drive krna padega tumhe phir"Nirvair said.

"I can drive okay!tum jao peeche,wese bhi bht bakwas song's play kr rahe the tum log"Iknoor said looking at her husband who rolled his eyes hearing that.

If he was getting a free driver for the rest of the journey,who was he to deny it?

"Okay"Nirvair simply stated and went and sat on the back seat.

Aahad sighed as he stared at his wife who didn't said anything and went and sat beside Nirvair at the back seat.

Hriday and Aayat kept sitting in the same seat they had earlier sat down.

Iknoor started driving as she connected her phone's Bluetooth with the music system and started playing songs from her playlist.

Inaya opened the windows as they had left the busy city highway and were surrounded by thick green tress from both the sides letting cool breeze to enter into the car through the windows.

The soft romantic music which played along with the cool breeze was the perfect thing that they could have wanted right now making the girl's relax and happy.

The boys on the other hand didn't said anything and just kept sitting quietly as the girls enjoyed the music,the breeze and their chit chats filled with laughter.

Iti too liked that the windows were down so she literally leaned on her mother's body to stare out of the window seeing the green trees that passed as the car moved ahead.

"Badi maa aapko toh gaadi chalana bhi aata h!"Iti said in aww of her badi maa who drove the car so smoothly.

"Aap bhi seekh sakte ho jab aap bade ho jaoge"Iknoor said as she drove the car still chatting with her one and only niece.

"Kitne bade?hum 5 year's ke h abhi!"Iti said thinking being 5 year's is equal to being an adult.

"Umm...jab aapke baal meri jitne lambe ho jayenge na tab aap gaadi chala sakti ho"Iknoor said making Iti pout at that.

The rest of the journey passed in this way,soft romantic music playing in the background,the windows opened all the way down letting the air to pass through the car and the ladies who chatted about random things with Iti popping her innocent doubts in between.

They reached the hotel and after checking in the all decided to freshen up and then go somewhere to have lunch.

"Nirvair bhai ne kaha h ki hotel wale bikes rent pr dete h,toh unhone kaha h ki ab bikes pr hi jaatein h ghumne ke liye,wrna hrr jagah traffic mil jayega, tourist place h na yeh isliye"Hriday said as he gave the bike keys to Aahad and the other one to Iknoor because Nirvair was attending an important call.

"Aapko bike chalani aati h na Hriday?"Aayat asked as Hriday sat on the bike.

Aahad too sat on his bike and turned the engine on,so did Hriday.

But to their utter surprise even Iknoor sat on the bike,turning on the engine as she gave it a race while holding the brake a smile on her face as she did that.

"Iknoor,mein tumhe yaha bike chalana nhi seekha sakta,yeh tourist place h,galti se bhi tumne bike thok di na toh dikkat ho jayegi"Nirvair said as he saw his wife sitting on the bike.

Iknoor narrowed her eyes at his statement.

"Chalo peeche betho,phir chalte h hum sab khana khane,sabko bht bhook lagi h"Nirvair said but Iknoor shook her head in denial at that.

"Tum peeche betho"Iknoor said making him laugh at her words.

"Mein peeche bethunga toh chalayega kon?apne aap thodi chal degi bike"Nirvair said.

"Haa badi maa aap peeche betho,buddy ko bike chalana aata h"Iti said as she sat between her parents on the bike.

"Wahi peeche betho tum"Nirvair said.

"Mujhe aati h bike chalana,tum peeche betho"Iknoor said making him amused when he heard that.

"Sach mein?"Nirvair asked and she just stared at him.

"Agar tumne kisi ko thok diya na toh totally tumhara hi fault hoga Iknoor,aur mujhe wese bhi apni jaan pyaari h,tum mujhe pakka giraa dogi"He said just to rile her up and it worked.

"Thik h,toh tum dusri bike pr aao,mein akele chali jaungi"Iknoor said glaring at him but he just chuckled at her and sat on the bike behind her.

"Aur raaste kese pata chalenge tumhe?"Nirvair asked.

"Kyu?tum sirf bakwas krne ke liye muh kholte ho?peeche se raaste nhi bataye jayenge tumse?"She taunted him making everyone chuckle at her words.

She so knew how to shut his mouth.

"Chalo meri maa!"Nirvair said not bothering her anymore.

The three couples then drove away with Iknoor's bike in the lead because Nirvair knew the routes well enough as he had been to Mahabaleshwar tons of time.

They all were actually enjoying because of the beautiful view as they rode towards their destination.

"Bike chalana kaha se seekha?"Nirvair asked trying to have a normal conversation with her which didn't involved either one of them taunting one another.

"Bhai ne sikhaya tha clg time mein"Iknoor said not wanting to ruin her mood for now by saying something hurtful to him.

She was here to enjoy after all,for now she can ignore him and just have some normal conversation if needed,if she keeps fighting with him then it would ruin her mood as well.

So for now,she was on a break from their fight!

"Zyada tez mat chalao Iknoor yeh road thoda sa danger wala h"Nirvair said as their bike was a lil fast compared to the other two and the road was a bit dangerous because of the cuts and turns.

A mischievous smile danced on her lips as Iknoor moved the bike on full speed literally vanishing from the sight of the other two couples.

Nirvair though wanted to scold her for the speed but laughed because he knew she would do exactly opposite of what he says to her.

"Tum kabhi meri baat nhi manogi na?"He had to shout because of the thick air that passed through them as they moved fast.

"Kabhi nhi!"Iknoor too replied almost shouting.

"Slow kar do thodi si bike,baaki sab peeche reh jayenge,unhe raasta bhi nhi pata h Iknoor"Nirvair said after sometime and Iknoor did slow down the bike then.

"Bhabhi,aap bht fast jaa rahi h!"Hriday said as they finally caught up to them.

"Sorry woh mera dhyan hi nhi raha"Iknoor too spoke as they rode side by side.

"Hame badi maa ke saath jaana h!woh bht fast jaa rahi h!"Iti said as she too wanted to go fast but her father was riding too carefully so as to not hurt any of them.

"Nhi badi maa bhi slow hi jaa rahi h ab"Aayat said making Iti pout at that.

They drove away towards the hotel and parked the bikes their and got

into the hotel.

After ordering a number of dishes they waited for their order to arrive and then dug into it because they all were hungry now.

Nobody talked much during the lunch as everyone was just enjoying the delicious food.
