Aisha's Pov
It was the month of December, what one can see in Shimla right now was  snow-covered landscape.

Whole Shimla is wrapped in a blanket of white, new year was just a week away and it was almost 45 days since I haven't met Shub.

No doubt December's winters are a time of peace, a time of beauty, a time of wonder but for me December has been very cruel.

I was lying on the couch, covering myself with duvet, the cold seeped into my bones making my bones ache while I sneezed again throwing the 1000th tissue in the dustbin.

With my eyes fixed on the tv, I took out another tissue from the tissue box.
We were having our new year vacations right now and sadly Shubi was going to return after new year.

Right now Maa was at Paulami auny's place, for her kitty party and I was lying cozily on the couch in the living room watching a movie.
I was in my shinchan hoodie, with black trousers, my hairs tied in a loose bun.

As I leaned over the sofa, the bell rang making me groan in irritation.
I felt too lazy to leave my duvet, I know the person wasn't Maa as she had spare keys, so being less concerned, I decided to ignore them.
Let them think that no one's at home.
The bell again rang and I sighed.
I can't do this, what if it's important.
Wiping my nose, I stood up and went towards the door.

As soon as I opened the door, I saw a guy standing in front of me, with his face covered with a bouquet of flowers.
I furrowed my brows in confusion as the person stood still, not saying anything.

"Who is it?" I asked, my voice polite and respectful but showing confusion.
Not receiving an answer, my eyes fell on his watch.
Wait
It's similar to Shubman's.
My eyes got wide in shock as my eyes fell on the heart pendent.

"Shubman" I muttered not believing while he removed the bouquet from his face making me gasp in shock.

As I looked at his face, my heart skipped a beat. There he was, standing in the warm sunlight and on the snowy ground, his eyes locked onto mine with an intensity that made my soul stir.

It had been 45 days since we last saw each other, but the connection between us still sent butterflies in my stomach.

I felt the familiar flutter in my chest, the same nervous excitement.
My feet seemed to move of their own accord, drawing me closer to him. Still trying to process things, I hugged him tightly while he giggled, his melodious voice ringing through the atmosphere.

As he lifted me up a little, I snuggled into him, inhaling his scent, feeling his warmth.
I felt like I was home, like I was exactly where I was meant to be.

How much I missed him!
Although we were digitally connected I felt a warmth that our screens couldn't show.
His touch, voice, and hug were like a bright light after a gray day.
I felt his gentle hand in mine, the sweet scent of his skin, and his soft breath on my hair.

"Shubi I can't believe you are here" I exclaimed being delighted while he chuckled and kissed my hairs.
"But you were going to come after new year?" I asked as I looked at him.
"Well surprise shinchan" He said kissing my forehead making me smile.

As he put me down on the floor and we broke the hug, he handed me the bouquet.
"This is for you mam" He said softly making me smile.
"Thank you so much" I exclaimed as I took it from his hands.

"Still not well?" He asked craesing my cheeks, his voice filled with concern and I moved my head in no as I sneezed again covering my nose with a tissue.

"Shinchan your nose is so red, like a tomato" He said with a giggle while I pouted and he pecked on it.

"Chalo come inside now" I said avidly holding his hands and he entered inside with his suitcase.

"You didn't went to Chandigarh" I gasped as I looked at his luggage on which he smiled sheepishly.

"I wanted to see you first and then mumma only told me to bring you and aunty with me, she wants that we all celebrate the new year together" He said with a grin making me smile.

"But I wanted to show you Shimla" I said sneezing again and he passed me a tissue.

"Like this?" He asked, his voice playful still concern.

"Shubi please" I pleaded while he chuckled.

"Ok ok we will see, I am here for three or four days" He said making me smile wide as I hugged him while he patted my head.

Shubman's Pov
Aisha showed me the washroom and then I got freshed quickly.

As I came out of the washroom, I saw her engrossed in the movie, she had covered herself with a duvet.

She looked at me and then with a grin gestured me to sit beside her,on the couch, with a smile I nodded and sat beside her.

As soon as I sat beside her,I covered both of us with the duvet while she leaned on me and I lyed there cozily.

I was too tired.

"Shubi it's my favourite movie" She muttered while I encircled my arms around her.

As I lie here with her wrapped in my arms, our bodies snug under the duvet, I can't help but be captivated by her beauty.

Her dark brown eyes, sparkle with excitement as she watches the movie.

Her eyelashes, long and luscious, frame her eyes perfectly, adding to their allure.

Her nose, slightly upturned, gives her an endearing, playful look. And her lips, soft and inviting, curve into a gentle smile as she laughs at a funny scene.

I'm lost in the depths of her eyes, drowning in their sparkle. Her skin, smooth and radiant, glows in the dim light.

I feel my heart skip a beat as I take in the beauty of her features, my love for her swelling with each passing moment.

My gaze keeps drifting away from the screen and onto her.

The way the dim light dancing across her face highlights her features, the intensity with which she watches the film, it all captivates me.

In this moment, everything feels perfect.

Gosh! I missed her!

As I gazed at her, my eyelids grow heavy, my body relaxed and comfortable in her embrace.

The warmth of the duvet and the coziness of the moment envelop me, lulling me into a state of tranquility. My gaze never leaves hers, even as my eyes begin to droop.

With a final glance at her radiant face, I surrender to the sleepiness that has been creeping up on me.

My head nods forward, my body sinking deeper into the couch, and I feel myself being pulled into a deep slumber.

The movie continues to play in the background, but I'm no longer aware of it.

All that matters is the warmth of her presence, the comfort of her embrace, and the peace that comes with being by her side.

After some time;
I woke up as I heard some utensils falling, my eyes fell on the open kitchen in which she was cooking something.

Her hairs tied in a loose bun, her nose red,as  I watched her fully immerse herself in the baking process, I felt my heart swell with admiration.

The way she measured out each ingredient with precision, the way her eyes sparkled as she mixed and matched, the way her hair fell on her face like a loose waves.

Her eyes glimmered with joy as she tasted the batter.

I was captivated by her focus, her passion, her joy.

In that moment, I knew I was in love with not just her beauty, but her essence, her spirit, her everything.

Her eyes fell on me and she smiled widely.

"Shubi I am baking a cake" She said avidly.

"Let me help you" I said, my voice a little sleepy as I yawned.

Her eyes got wide in surprise as I entered the kitchen.

"You know how to cook?" She asked, her voice amused which made me chuckle.

"Ofcourse" I said softly on which she gave me a small smile.

"Ok then wear this" She said giving me an apron and I wore it.

"Wait let me bring my camera" She exclaimed as she ran upstairs making me chuckle.

"Aram se" I shouted, my voice filled with concern.

She came back with her camera and kept it on the kitchen counter.

"This will click some good pictures of us while we will cook" She exclaimed making me smile.

We both started preparing the batter, as I devoured myself in that, my whole focus on the ingredients.

As we mixed and measured, our hands touched, and I caught her gazing at me with a look that made my heart skip a beat. I couldn't resist teasing her.

"Stop staring a man" I said playfully, my lips twitched into a mischievous smile while I fixed my gaze on her.

Her cheeks flushed, and she looked away, trying to hide her smile. I chuckled,as I looked at her, my eyes never leaving hers.

"I..I was...I was not staring you, I was looking at the batter, to check if you were doing it right or not" She stammered making me giggle.

I pulled her close, my hands cradling her face, leaving smudges of chocolate on her cheeks. She gasped, her eyes meeting mine.

"Ah, don't be shy, my love. You can look at me all day, every day. I'm all yours."
I said and her cheeks flushed, while I kept my lips on hers, it was a sweet and a small kiss.

As we broke the kiss, her heart was pounding while I chuckled seeing her nervousness.

As I held her close, the warmth of the kitchen enveloped us, and the sweet scent of cake batter filled the air.

"You can have your cake and me, too".
I leaned in, my lips brushing against her ear.

I deepened my gaze, my eyes locked on hers, and my heart whispered, "Forever yours, my love."

"Sh..ub..ca..ke" She stammered nervously while I planted a soft kiss on her neck.

Sensing her nervousness, I decided to not to take it far.

"Hmm let's get back to work" I whispered while she chuckled.

As we continued doing our work, she sprinkled a handful of flour on my hairs making me look at her in shock.

Her eyes glimmered with mischievousness, as she smudged some flour on my nose and cheeks making me chuckle.

"You are gone now" I said, my voice playful and mischievous while her eyes got wide.

As she was going to run, I picked her up and scooped  a handful of flour, I sprinkled it on her hairs and smudged it on her already chocolate smudged cheeks while she giggled.

And like this, we were finally able to bake the cake at last.

"So good it is" She exclaimed as we both ate some cake.

"I know" I murmered, my mouth already filled with some cake.

She kept the remaining cake in the fridge while we both settled ourself on the kitchen counter.

As we were enjoying the cake and chatting about random stuffs, I heard the door unlocking.

We both turned to look at the main gate and found Kavita aunty, standing there.

As soon as I saw her, I jumped from the counter and ran towards her.

"Auntyyyy" I shouted as I hugged her while she giggled.

"How was the journey?" She asked as she broke the hug, her voice soft.

"It was good" I replied with a grin.

"You knew he was coming?" Aisha exclaimed as she came towards us while aunty nodded positively and she glared at me on which I shrugged my shoulders.

"Stop looking at him like that, he wanted to surprise you" Aunty said making me smile while she rolled her eyes.

"Wait, what were you guys doing?" Aunty exclaimed as she observed our chocolate and flour smeared face while we both passed a sheepish smile.

"Aisha you will spoil shubman too" Aunty said playfully making me laugh loud as we both did a hi-fi while Aisha huffed.

"Huh, you both are so bad" She whined and we both laughed again on which Aisha chuckled.

"Chalo go and clean yourselves" Aunty said and we both nodded as we went upstairs.

Aisha showed me my room and then I took a long shower
I wore a black sweater with white pants.
A smile came on my face as I remembered the kitchen scenes while I was drying my hairs.
