Anu's pov:

"Muh.."

I slightly opened my eyes uncomfortably as slightly sun rays are falling on my face.

I tried to move but something is not letting me move.

I opened my eyes looking around. Vikram hand is around my waist and he is hugging me tightly.

I blushed at our close. I tried to come out of his hold but no his hold is not letting me.

"Anu sleep for some more time na." He said cutely pulling me closer to his chest.

I also slowly drifted into sleep once again.

We both woke up after some time and got freshen up.

At present, I'm taking a little more time to get ready. It's obvious I need to dry my long hair. My hair is long and thick all thanks to my mother's homemade herbal oils and hair packs. Which she would apply on my hair forcefully from my childhood.

I used to do a lot of drama to escape from her complaining to my dad and grandfather but nothing used to work. She loves my hair more than I like it. So she used to pamper it a lot.

After setting my hair. I did a simple makeup and moved out of the room.

Vikram is arranging the bread slices he had toasted, omelettes and coffee on the dining table.

He said he would make a quick breakfast and asked me to take my time getting ready.

I can say it so new to hear these words from a male person as they always complain we ladies take more time getting ready.

We had our breakfast and started our journey to our first outing.
.

.

We reached the in-orbit mall.

It is one of the famous malls in Hyderabad. Here we can shop for various clothes, ornaments, gift articles, home decoration things and many more. There is a games section, horror house, massage chair, pedicure, tattoo and Mehendi applying. Food court. Movie hall on the topmost floor.

Vikram is explaining all these things to me.

We played few animation games and even tried the horror house. I felt so scared with the darkness and hugged Vikram like a koala thought out the walk-in horror house.

Ultimately we did enjoy like kids playing various games and trying every new game. Horror house is a little scared experience.

As we are so hungry with all these activities, we moved to the food court floor.

We roamed around the food stalls checking the varieties they are available and finally decided on some.

We tried  Szechuan chicken and fried rice, baby corn 65, cheese dosa and for dessert different scoops of ice-creams combo.

After enjoying our lunch to the fullest. We slowly started to the shopping floor.

We purchased few house decoration articles.

.

.

.

After completing our shopping we returned back home as Vikram said he has some night outing plans so we decided to go home and take a rest for some time.

.

.

 We finally reached home after purchasing a few groceries and vegetables.

We lazily laid on the living room sofa watching Netflix till the evening.

At 9'oclock we took a nice relaxing warm bath and got ready in comfortable clothes.

"Vikram, where are we going?" I asked taking my phone unavailable to bear the suspense.

"Small surprise." He said.

We started our journey, first, we stopped near a Hyderabadi dabha (hostel).

"Anu, here Hyderabadi biryani tastes amazing. The location also adds its own beauty. " he explained guiding me towards the table.

We ordered famous Hyderabadi biryani along with few starters.

True to his words the biryani is amazing. We enjoyed our meal to the fullest.

.

.

.

"Now to where? It's going to be near to midnight." I asked seeing him taking a different route.

"Night adds more beauty to the place we are going." He said.

"oh!" I nodded my head.

After a short ride, I spotted a view of Charminar.

"Wow!" I exclaimed.

Vikram smiled at my expression and parked the bike in the nearby area.

"Come." He said taking my hand in his hand.

We walked a little further holding hands.

"During midnight this place would be mostly free of crowds and the lights in the night view would add more beauty to this place. " Vikram explained.

"Yes. It looks beautiful." I said.

We took a ticket and climbed the Charminar steps to the top.

The view from there is amazing. We stayed there for some time looking from every corner.

"I visited this place a few times but coming with you feels so nice. " Vikram said while we are getting down the stairs making me feel so special.

We took few photos.

We got seated in the nearby tea stall, sipping the chai and enjoying the night view of Charminar.

Later I shopped bangles and few other woman accessories. Vikram helped me choosing the things.

This place has wide varieties of bangles and woman accessories which are so pretty and at low cost.

.

.

We returned back home with so many beautiful memories.
