Chapter 17

Next day , Reya got up feeling really tired . Adira felt sad for her , she tried to cheer her up . They soon left for their next destination after breakfast . The sitting arrangement was same ,Reya was snoozing again and again , but due to moving bus , her head hit the window and she got up . Atharv found it really cute , he wrapped his arm around her and made her place her head on his shoulder "sleep , its going to take us at least 2 hours to reach the place "Atharv said . Reya's heart was going out of control , but then she fell into a blissful sleep. Atharv smiled at her condition , he found it cute , how she tried to deny her feelings . He snugged his nose in her hair , enjoying her scent . When they reached their destination , everyone got down, but Reya was still sleeping ."I will wake her up "Atharv said to Zoya in a low voice . When Zoya also got down , Atharv looked at her sleeping face. He didn't want to wake her up , but knew that he needed to . "Reya wake up "Atharv said pushing her hair out of her face . She whined a bit and hid her face more strongly in his chest , as if she didn't want to move away anytime soon . "Reya , my firefly wakeup "Atharv said near her ear . Reya got up reluctantly . She was still in a haze , she looked in his eyes from her place on his chest . The softness on Atharv's face actually fascinated her . Without a thought, she rubbed her face right and left on her chest and let out a deep sigh .his scent was relaxing to her , she wanted to bask in it for hours . "Reya ..."Atharv called again .at that moment , Reya really felt what she was up to and moved away quickly . "Sorry ..."she mumbled softly , looking embarrassed .Atharv ignored it and told her that they needed to get down . Everyone was already busy exploring . Reya wanted to check her hair if they were in place , she was patting them again and again . Atharv understood what her worry was and did it himself . He ran his hand through her hair and patted them where it was need to perfection ."perfect "he said and Reya gave him a toothy smile .Atharv wanted to kiss her at that moment like nothing else . They were a bit behind , they met others and then started their exploration. Reya was enjoying allot , they were in a forest studying animals and plants . They had their lunch in an open restaurant .Reya had went to the restroom , when a guy tried to flirt with her . He was really cute with light brown hair and boy next door looks . Reya didn't know how to deny him , when he asked for her number .she didn't feel attracted to him at all. Adira was also with her "move along , before you are not left able to do so "she said to the boy in a threatening tone . The guy left and Reya turned towards adira"it was rude "she said . "Bearing rudeness is better than loosing a few limbs"adira said and started moving . Reya's confused face made her smile . She shook her head and sat on the table . Atharv saw what happened on Adira's mind , his fists were tightly closed in anger ."focus on Reya , don't get angry . We don't need it right now "she said to Atharv . He looked at Reya , her confused pretty face , which displayed her every expression .he felt his anger slipping away . He didn't even need to invade her thoughts to know what was she thinking . After lunch , they went for the sightseeing again . This side of the forest had large , centuries old fern trees .along past the trees, there was a sharp cliff . Everyone admired the beauty of it .they started returning back , but Reya was still looking around standing near the cliff . The students were passing through the forest laughing and joking around .some guy threw a rubber snake on Sasha and she started screaming bloody murder . The whole attention went to her . On the other hand , Reya got startled and lost her footing. Atharv saw her falling from the cliff . His dead heart stopped for a second . He jumped from the cliff behind her , Reya's eyes were closed in fear . When Reya didn't felt anything for long seconds , she opened her eyes. The sight around her made her eyes widen . She was in Atharv's arms , it was like a tornado was around them . The wind was keeping them high, not letting them fall on the land . Atharv pushed her face in his chest ,the next time she opened her eyes , she was standing on the cliff again .
