AT THE BEACH,
They noticed there were many different kinds of water activities besides the high-speed boat rides, including banana boat rides and several other options.
They decided to start with the banana boat ride.
Radika hesitated at first. She wasn't sure if she wanted to try it.
But after seeing her friends getting excited, she slowly started to relax and decided to give it a try.
Just then, Rudra came towards the beach.
He spotted Radika and smiled.
Seeing her hesitation, he raised his thumb, silently encouraging her.
Radika looked at him for a moment before smiling back.
Then she joined her friends on the banana boat.
As soon as the ride started, all of them began screaming and laughing. What started with a little hesitation soon turned into pure fun.
After the ride, they all got down with their clothes completely soaked.
Rohan looked at everyone and said,
"Now let's go for the high-speed boat ride!"
Sara's eyes lit up.
"I'm so excited! Let's go!"
"Let's go!" everyone shouted together.
They took two boats. Radika and Hima got into one, while Sara and Rohan took the other.
Soon, both boats sped across the water.
They rode for a long time, laughing and enjoying themselves. At one point, they even started splashing water at each other, turning the ride into a playful little water fight.
From a distance, Rudra watched them.
His eyes fell on Radika.
She looked genuinely happy, laughing with her friends.
Seeing her smile made him smile too.
Radika was still soaking wet, so Rudra quietly went and brought her a towel. He placed it inside her bag.
After some time, they finally returned to the shore, completely exhausted.
The group sat under the shade of a tree with their bags, taking a break after all the activities.
A few moments later, Radika's phone rang.
She looked at the screen.
Rudra:Open your bag.
Radika frowned slightly and opened her bag.
Inside, she found a towel and a cool drink.
A small smile appeared on her face.
She quickly typed a reply.
Radika:Thank you, sir.
Meanwhile, Sara decided to go for a little walk.
A few minutes later, she came running back towards them with a huge grin on her face.
"Guys! Guess what I heard?"
Hima looked at her curiously.
"What is it?"
Sara took a breath, still smiling.
"There is an island called Paradise Island, and it's just a thirty-minute boat ride from here! Let's go there!"
Rohan immediately agreed.
"That sounds so good. Then let's go to our rooms, change, and come back."
Everyone agreed and headed towards their rooms.
But before leaving, Radika stopped.
"Sorry, guys. I can't come."
Hima turned towards her.
"Why?"
Radika looked at them with guilt in her eyes.
"I have sea sickness. I don't think I can handle being on the boat for that long. You guys go and enjoy. I'll rest in the room."
Sara was about to say something.
"Again...?"
Before she could continue, Hima stopped her.
"It's okay. Her health comes first."
She looked at Radika with a reassuring smile.
"We'll go and enjoy. You take some rest."
Radika nodded quietly.
She then walked towards the boat and said,
"Bye, guys! Enjoy yourselves, and don't forget to take pictures and send them to me."
"Bye!" they all said as they got into the boat.
They waved at her as the boat started moving. Radhika waved back at them with a smile.
As they slowly moved away, Radika turned around.
Suddenly, she bumped into a hard structure.
"Ouch!" she shouted in pain.
