Chapter V

Heya! How's the summer y'all?
Happy reading XD

So just when they are getting ready to get their baby tummies filled, it finally strikes Riu that they will have to walk longer than expected.

As she observes her surroundings, she expects some sort of an edible silver lining to wave at her, but N-A-D-A.

Even strangely, all she could see around her were broomstick shaped trees ready to poke Vidith's eyes if she ever finds out that he is a prick.

"You know, if you are planning to kidnap me, I would say you better quit. I have no money on me as such." Riu whispers to Vidith.

"Shut up. I want to take you to a place that's exotic as hell. You will thank me later."

"Blah blah."

Narrowing his eyes at her, Vidith decides to pull her hair and in return Riu goes the usual, "You are a horrible person! Get lost."

Before they could argue any further, Riu notices a change in sight.

Suddenly, there are people all around a huge tree (yeah, a tree.. again!) where she observes small pieces of paper dangling from the branches.

She takes a few steps towards the huge junk of mass when she finally reads a huge parchment of paper that says, 'THE WISHING TREE.'

"This is creepy." she says finally.

Vidith looks at her with his mouth wide open and stutters, "You serious? You don't believe in these things?"

"What are you, twelve?"

"Nah, I am human. You are unbelievable."

"More like sensible."

Vidith ignores her and goes next to the tree, manages to get a slip of paper and writes something in a secretive matter and hangs it up the bough.

Thinking how stupid he is, Riu goes up further and checks upon his "wish."

She was expecting more of an hypothetical fact of his pathetic life instead just spotted strange pair of numbers.

"Ahah! I coded it." Vidith says with pride.

"Get a life. Can we please go eat!?"

"There is a canteen nearby. Leggo."

Before their taste buds could have the pleasure of being exposed to vada pavs so yum, they finish it in a hurry like animals.

"It's almost time. It should be done by now." suggests Riu. 

Well, it surely was. Beaming with joy, Vidith pats the seat as if the motorcycle was his son.

"Dude, honestly make it fast. I have got things to do." Riu says exasperated.

In no time, they start riding and off they went in a lighting speed.
