Miles to Marvel Part 6

'GOA!' screamed Sunaina. I was excited too but she was excited more than anything. I wondered what plans she had, I dared not to ask. And as promised earlier, she was back into her semi-goth avatar. I think I adapted myself to see her that way.
'So what's the plan Rishi Airan!' Su asked enthusiastically.
'I thought you were the one who made plans'
'See, this day is almost over. We have done two days of our trip and are left with three more'
I nodded in approval. 'So either we extend this trip or we continue it like this'
'Extend? Why?'
'Aren't you enjoying?'
'I am but we do need to get back to our lives'
'Oh c'mon, don't you remember WE OUR JOBLESS!'
'AND PENNILESS!' I said with an idiotic expression.
She understood what I was getting at, I wanted this trip to go on forever. Alas, that would be thinking irrationally. Su had gone in deep thinking mode. I was driving the car and she stared at the steering wheel.
'Chal chori karte hain'(Lets rob someone) Su said
'Really? That's what you thought?'
'What's the harm?'
'The harm!? Su you can't be serious!' I said dumbfoundedly.
'What if I am'
I just sighed, the madness of this girl that my best friend was talking about had finally arrived.
'Look, Goa is like our Vegas. Rich people, Casinos, rave parties!'
'This isn't a movie, and if your crazy mind is thinking like THE HANGOVER, it's better you get that thought out right now!'
'Oh don't be so dominating and this is nothing like the movie, totally us. Su and Rishi. Sushi!'
'What? Sushi! Arghh! Su stop it'
'Okay fine, let's check in and then talk'




The state of Goa. It is situated at the Western part of the Indian subcontinent. Apart from the beaches and scenic beauty, it is also famous for its casinos!
'Wow!' we both said in unison. Our resort was beautiful, at least in looked so in the night.
'Are you sure this is ours?'
'The name and the address says so'
'Good job Su!'
We checked in and were very delighted to have two separate rooms this time.
'All this for 7K. Doesn't hurt at all' Su said
'The manager said it's due to off-season'
'No wonder'
After having dinner, we bid each other goodbye and left.

Drenched in sweat, I found myself wide awake at four in the morning. My room's AC stopped working in the middle of the night. A very uncomfortable situation. I thought of waking up Su but the bed size was too small to fit us both and finding an extra bed at this hour would take too much energy.
'Why! Why only me!' I complained.
I took out my shirt, still no relief. After fifteen minutes of struggle, I decided to start my day (since it was clear that I wouldn't acquire any sleep)

Our resort also owned a beach, I decided to go for a stroll. It was no surprise but fishermen were at work, laying their nets already. I walked along the beach when I saw someone, a girl. She sat on the beach around fifty metres ahead of me. She was beautiful, her hair were brown and tied at the back, though her eyes were closed. She seemed to be involved in some kind of meditation. I walked ahead and continued on my path. 'You mustn't involve yourself with anything right now, you aren't ready for any girl' my mind made that very clear.
By the time I came back, the girl had left. Though I saw her again when I reached the reception. She handed something to the receptionist and left.
'Excuse me'
'Yes sir' said the receptionist
'Is there any fest going on around the city?'
'Sir you are just on time. We are having a party at our resort tonight'
'Is it? And it's an open invite party?'
'Sir it's exclusively for our guests and from the owner's behalf'
'Well, I'd love to'

***  
'You woke up early?' Su asked
'Yup'
And then I explained her my terrible early morning.
'Why didn't you wake me up? You could sleep in my room'
'We both know how big the bed was'
'Why? My bed was pretty big to fit us both'
And then we checked her room, mine seemed like a servant quarter as compare to hers.
'And we pay the same amount'
'No actually I booked the one which was cheaper'
I couldn't help but put a frown.
'Anyway, we complain about  it to them and ask them for some compensation'
'Why me!' I yelled again in my head
'And guess what there's is a party tonight'
'I got know'
'Really? I got to know from this really pretty girl, she is the owner's daughter'
'Wait, was she the one who is fair, tall, thin and has brown hair?'
'Looks like you already met her. Yes, Riana Braganza'
'I just saw her on the beach this morning'
I could Su smiling, she must have formed those notions about me already.

After that, we both gorged onto breakfast, complimentary with our stay. We were then set for a city tour and some shopping. Su was freaking out on what to wear.
'Aren't you supposed to save?' I asked after seeing her go berserk in the market
'Save for what? Don't disturb' she growled. After minutes she decided to curb down her lust for more.
With the crazy time in the city, we drove to the outskirts and reached the location where a very famous Hindi movie, Dil Chahta Hai was shot. We marveled the location, cold winds blowing and the sea right in front.
'This is life' I heard Sunaina say. I was more than happy, for the first time in years I could feel happiness within. And it was only because this stupid girl had convinced me to join her for this quest. This girl was the reason why I gave life a second chance, I was thankful to her, but never realised her reason for doing this.
'Su I tried to kill myself' I said without thinking.
