"Yayyy finally we are going" Ezra exclaimed excitedly

Everyone was waiting near the college campus. The college didn't look in good condition as construction work was going on.

A trip bus was also parked there, where all the students were getting in. Around 30 students were going, including professors and students

Izna and Priya had already gone inside and were sitting in the middle seats. Just then, Rohan and his friend KARAN also entered the bus and sat down beside the seat of Izna and priya

Priya and Izna were shocked to see that friend because he was none other than but that stranger they had met a few days back in the middle of the road when they went to have pani puri

Agni got on the bus, and since she was the professor leading the trip, she sat in the front seat. Another male professor, ROHIT, also joined her.

"Everyone, get on the bus quickly and find your seats" Rohit sir called out. The remaining people outside hurried inside.

Ezra stepped onto the bus and was deciding where to sit when a boy voice came from the back seat

"Hey, you can sit here" he said, pointing to the seat beside him.

Ezra hesitated at first but then, feeling excited, shrugged and went to sit next to him

"If you don't mind, what's your name, miss?" he asked her politely

"Ezra" she replied, then continued "What's yours?"

"Nice to meet you, Ms. Ezra. I'm ABHIMANYU. You can call me Abhi" he said, extending his hand for a handshake. Ezra also extended her hand, and they shook hands

"Nice to meet you too Abhi" Ezra said

"Are you new admission? I have never seen you before" Abhimanyu said

"Oh yes I am" Ezra replied

"I see"

Just then Abhimanyu's friend came and retorted him

"Hey Abhi, saale ladki dekhi nahi party badalli"

(Hey Abhi, you bast@rd you changed the party just after seeing the girl)

"N-no no Ezra I-I don't know this guy. Yuvaan jaa yahan se. I mean I- no no I-I don't even know his name. Who are you mister? Go away" Abhimanyu stuttered. His ears turned red out of embarrassment and shyness

Ezra laughed loudly seeing Abhimanyu's condition

"Oh my god, you are so funny" she said and hitted his arms while still laughing. Abhimanyu touched his neck and closed his eyes tightly out of embarrassment. His cheeks and Ears had turned red

"Oh my god you are blushing" Ezra said And her laughter did not stopped. His friend went and seated with his another friend while laughing at his friend condition

There was a man who was noticing everything and every action of Ezra. Ofcourse it's Ayushmaan. He was glaring at them

*Cough cough* Ayushmaan went close to them and coughed to gain attention. They both looked at him

"Kya kar rahi ho yahan?" Ayushmaan asked her in a serious tone

(What are you doing here)

"Dandiya khel rahi hun, wanna join" Ezra replied sarcastically

(Playing dandiya)

"Come with me" Ayushmaan said and held Ezra's hand, taking her with him. Just then, Abhimanyu grabbed Ezra's other hand

"Ayush" Abhimanyu said angrily and tightened his grip on Ezra's hand

Ayushmaan looked at the direction where abhimanyu was holding Ezra's and without wasting a second he separated abhimanyu's hand with Ezra angrily

"Ayinda isko haath lagaya toh haath tod dunga" Maan said to him angrily while glaring into his eyes

Maan was about to go in front while holding Ezra's hand just then he stopped hearing -

"Chhaya de toh diya ab kya Ezra bhi lega mujhse"

Ayushmaan turned and was about to punch him just then he heard chaya's sound and at the same time Ezra held Maan's hand

"Ayush kya kar rahe ho? Kin logo ke muh lag rahe ho? Chalo ham dono tumhari jeep mein chalte hai" chhaya said

(Ayush, what are you doing? Why are you arguing with these people? Come on, let's both go in your jeep)

Ayushmaan closed his eyes in anger and took a brief sigh

"Ezra jake Izna bha- Izna ke saath baitho" Ayushmaan said and controlled himself from saying bhabhi to Izna

"Mai kyu baithungi waha? Mai yahi baithungi" Ezra replied stubbornly and sat on her previous seat beside abhimanyu. Abhimanyu became glad, his happiness was evident on his face

"EZRA" Maan gritted his teeth and glared at her but as usual she didn't gave a fvck about him

"Ayush ham jeep mein chalte hai chalo" Chhaya once again suggested

"Mai nahi jaa raha tum chahe toh chali jao" Ayushmaan said irritatedly and sat beside Ezra and Abhimanyu. Chhaya also sighed and went to the seat beside ayushmaan on the window seat

(I am not going. If you want you can go)

On the other hand Rakshit entered in the Bus and viewed Agni laughing with the male professor which was so unusual behaviour of her

"Mere sath toh kabhi nahi muskurayi. Mere saath toh hamesha sada hua akdusa muh leke ghumti hai'' Rakshit murmured to himself

(She never laughed like this with me. she is always grumpy towards me)

Later, Rakshit saw and was walking past the seat in front of Ayushmaan when he noticed Rohan sitting next to Izna. He rolled his eyes and went to sit in the seat in front of Rohan as he felt protective towards Izna

"Kiddo, how is your hand pain now?" Rakshit asked Izna politely

"It's fine, bhai" she replied with the same politeness. Rakshit nodded in response

"Hey do you guys remember me?" Karan asked Izna and priya excitedly. Rakshit looked towards Izna

"Yes" Priya replied

"Oh great. By the way aap dono mujhse khamkha darr rahe the and bekaar mein kisi ko bula liya" Karan said the last sentence mockingly. Izna got furious and offended by his words

(By the way both of you were desperately afraid of me and called unnecessarily some useless person)

"Wo koyi aur nahi balki mere pat-" Izna closed her eyes and then continued her words "-wo mere family hai"

(He is not someone but my husb-

He is my family)

"Is there any problem" a deep authoritative voice of Kiaan came. He was glaring at Karan and Rohan

"Oh you?" Karan said

"Nice to meet you once again mate" and then he continued his words and extended his hands to shake

"Well I am not" Kiaan replied and went to the seat beside Rakshit. Rakshit chuckled

"Hello brother" Rakshit said mischievously. Kiaan rolled his eyes

The bus started to depart

"Did you meet her already?" Rohan asks Karan slowly

"Yep" karan replied while looking at Izna

"And what's the catch?" Rohan asked

"No catch yet" Karan replied. Rohan agreed and nodded his head

"Well what is her relation with Kiaan?" Karan asked slowly

"I don't think that they have any relation" Rohan

"In that case you are highly wrong and this is what you are paying attention to Kiaan's all whereabouts?" Karan asked rohan furiously

"Why are you suddenly interested in their relation and yes they don't have any" Rohan said and seated calmly

"He called her my woman in our first meet" Karan said

"Really?" Rohan asked him curiously and karan agreed

"Interesting" Rohan said

"Well doesn't really matter in this trip I am going to make her mine by hook or crook" karan stated. Rohan rolled his eyes

Later, there was music and dancing on the bus, and everyone had a great time. It was night-time when they all reached their destination. Everyone got off the bus

"Everyone, set up your tents. There will be a total of 10 tents. Three people will stay in each tent" Agni instructed

"Yes, ma'am" all the students agreed and immediately started making tents

"Hey Ayush" Abhimanyu called Ayushmaan. He turned and sighed heavily

"What do you want?" Maan asked him

"You tell me what you want with Ezra" He asked him suspiciously

"None of your business and I am strictly warning you stay out of her" Ayushmaan said while glaring at him

"Itna possessiveness toh maine tujhe chaya ko leke bhi nahi dekha jitna tu Ezra ku leke ho raha hai. Lagti kya hai wo teri?" Abhimanyu asked

(I haven't even seen you this possessive about Chhaya as much as you are about Ezra. What is she to you?)

"Boht kuch lagti hai wo meri jiski tu hadd bhi nahi janta infact mai khud nahi janta ki uske liye mai kis hadd tak jaa sakta hun, isliye dur reh usse" Maan warned Abhimanyu

(She means a lot to me, more than you can even imagine. In fact, even I don't know how far I can go for her. So stay away from her)

"What's happening here?" Rakshit asked as he noticed the glaring competition of Ayushmann and Abhimanyu

"Kuch nai chal faltugiri karra tha. Tune apna tent dala aur Kiaan ka kya plan hai wo alg dalra ya apne saath rehra" Ayushmaan changed the topic and went towards another side with Rakshit

(Nothing, he was just messing around. Did you set up our tent? And what about Kiaan? Is he setting up separately or staying with us?)

"Staying with you two. So hurry up, I am tired" Kiaan replied while interrupting Rakshit

"Tere sasur ke naukar nahi hai saale aake madad kar" Ayushmaan said teasingly

(We are not the servant of your father-in-law's bast@rd. Come and help us)

"Mere papa ko kyu beech mein laa rahe ho?" Izna replied from behind astonishing all three of them

(Why are you bringing my father into this)

"Arey bha-bhabhi aap- aap. I-I didn't mean to sa-say that" Mann shuttered to reply

(A-Arey bha... bhabhi, you-you... I-I didn't mean to s-say that)

All of them started laughing including Ezra and he heard her saying 'fattu kahika'

"Arey relax mai mazak kar rahi thi aap itna kyu ghabra rahe ho" Izna said while laughing

(Arey, relax! I was just joking. Why are you getting so nervous?)

"Guys ye kya picnic mana rahe ho aap log?" Agni asked while coming from behind as she was guiding other students

(Guys, what's this? Are you all having a picnic or what?)

"Well kind of yes bhabhi number 2" Ayushmaan replied. Once again all four of them started laughing

"Saare bullets tumhari khali khopdi mei utar dungi" Agni said with fake glaring

(Will fill all the bullets in your empty brain)

"Arey bhabhi aapne toh itni jaldi pehchan liya iski khali khopdi ko" Ezra said to Agni and laughed while hitting Izna's arm as she has the habit of hitting arms while laughing

"Jungli billi chup ek dam chup and haath hata bhabhi number 1 se" Ayushmaan said

"Oye bola na mardunga agar tune meri biwi ko numbers diye toh" Kiaan replied instantly

"You are dead ayush" Rakshit said while chuckling and patted on his arms and continued his words

"Chal abhi tent dalte hai aur Kiaan tu bhi aaja help kar" Rakshit said and took Maan with him

"Bhabhi with whom are you sharing a tent?" Ezra asked to Agni

"Why?" Agni asked her

"Can I share with you please?" Ezra asked politely. Agni took a brief pause as she never shared anything and wanted to deny her proposal but-

"Yeah sure" Agni replied with the same politeness as she also started considering them as her family

"We all can share the same tent? me, priya and you both" Izna suggested

"Nope. 4 people are not allowed either trio or duo so it will be better if we go with duo for now" Agni explained

"Yeah okay" Izna said and was about to go back towards Priya

"Buttercup" Kiaan called Izna. Izna turned towards him and looked at him with questionable look. He came towards her

"Why are you roaming around like this without any jacket? Where is your coat?" He asked her strictly and removed his coat while coming and made her wear it by himself

"You shouldn't roam like this you'll catch cold, hmm understand?" He asked slowly while rising her chin up

"Everyone will get to know that it's your jacket" she said

"Then let them" he replied simply

"Haan?" She looked at him with confusion

"You are my wife buttercup I would love to hold your waist and hug you, kisses you in front of everyone to show them to whom I belong but I don't want to take any risk. I know I am capable enough to protect you from any danger and I will. But I am not willing to take any risk with you when I know my enemy is roaming in our surroundings, I don't want to let them know my weakness, jaan" Kiaan confessed his feelings to her while cupping her cheeks and putting her hairs strands behind the ear and while looking intensely into her eyes

"Kiaan please don't make me your weakness make me your strength" Izna said softly

"You are my love, you are. You are my strength and you are my weakness. When I see even the slightest injury on you I feel reckless and that's when I realise THE KIAAN THAKUR who never feared for anyone and for anything is fearing to lose his wife" Kiaan said

A tear slipped from Izna's eye

He instantly wiped it off

"Don't cry jaan. A single tear from your eye breaks my heart into a thousand pieces" He told her and she instantly wiped it off and nodded her head

"Go and have dinner now. If you want something else to eat or anything do tell me okay?" He asked her

"It's okay I am also a student here I will get what everyone is getting" She told him

"You are the owner. Owner of my heart. Owner of this university. You are special jaan. Just command buttercup, and it will be present at your feet" He said with the sincerity

"What has gotten you" Izna said while chuckling and sniffing

"I mean it jaan. Now go" Kiaan said and turned her towards opposite of him and sent her back towards the tents. He was feeling peace after figuring out his feelings and confessing his feelings towards her

On the other hand Izna was feeling overwhelming. She hugged the jacket which he made her wear and closed her eyes tightly to feel his presence. She wanted to run back to him and hug him

She was about to go back towards him but got stoped by her friend

"Izu kya kar rahi hai yahan? Paglo ki tarah kyu muskura rahi hai?" Priya said

(What are you doing here? Why are you smiling like a mad person?)

"Kuch nai" Izna replied while smiling

(Nothing)

"Everyone, please come and have dinner. The arrangements have been made'' Agni announced.

"Ms. Agni" Rohit called out.

"Yes, Mr. Rohit?" Agni responded professionally.

"Oh, come on! We don't need to be so formal with each other, right?" Rohit said casually.

"Still, Mr. Rohit" Agni maintained her tone.

"We're not in a classroom or at the university, Agni ji. Come on, let's have dinner" Rohit said, gently holding her arm. He intertwined their fingers, pulling her along. Agni was about to free herself from him, her anger overpowered her

"ROHIT" Rakshit roared in anger. He closed eyes for a second and took a calm deep breath

"..I mean Sir. Rohit sir" He continued his words but this time calmly

"Everyone is asking for your presence inside" He said but still glaring at him

"Yeah I was calling Ms Agni-" he was saying but

"MRS AGNI" Rakshit immediately cut him off.

Hearing 'Mrs' Rohit facial expressions changed and he looked at Agni

"Mrs?" Rohit asked her

"Yes she is married. Married to-" Rakshit was about to say

"Yes- yes I am married" Agni cut him off and glared at him for revealing it

"I am sorry I did not knew that" Rohit sincerely apologised her

"It's okay Mr. Rohit. You carry on I'll be back. I have some left over work" Agni said while glaring at Rakshit and he was also looking at her with same angry intensity

"What was that?" Agni asked Rakshit as soon as Rohit left

"I think-" He turned towards her while looking intensely into her eyes

"-I should ask that question. WHAT WAS THAT?" He asked her while coming close to her still looking into her eyes

Agni felt odd as she saw this side of Rakshit for the first time. It was like he was piercing her with his eyes. It was either romantic or angry, but it was filled with possessiveness

"Why didn't you let me tell him about our marriage?" He asked her

"Because it's a contract marriage" She told him. His facial expression changed it was like his face fell down

"Why are behaving like this? One day we have to get apart so it's no use to reveal unnecessarily" She told him while looking here and there

"Ohh-" He said his voice was low

"-umm then I think I can also flirt with any girl. I too can romance with anyone" He said and went towards tent without hearing anything from her

"RAKSHIT WAIT-" She called him but he didn't turn back to her
