She was looking at him who peacefully laid on her chest, carelessly putting his weight on her. Like he got the only thing he was looking for. And witnessing what she gives him on his face made her heart swell making it heavy for her to breathe. And how adorable the shifts in his shades were... just the last night he was her man, her king making his woman experience the most unreal sight of her life, making her do things pushing the fears aside holding her hands and then this sight !!.. How well he knows when to be her baby and when her man !!

" Sidharthhh !! " She called out in a doubtful tone to check if he was asleep.

" Hmm ?? " and even a hum reflected how engrossed he was into breathing in their moment.

" Tune flight kab li ?? Parso raat ko to hamne baat ki thi.. "

" Airport se hi call kiya tha.. flight se pehle.. " He replied and his eyes still closed.

" Parr teko kaise aur kab pata chala..birthh..dayy ka ?? " She asked in hesitance as what if he asked that why didn't she told him.

" Maanegi nahi na kahani sune bina ? " He asked as he lost the count over the number of times she asked the same thing.

She just nodded in response which he just felt which the little movement of her body.

" Engagement wali morning ham Misha aur Vardaan ke pas gaye the naa ??

" Haa.. "

" Haa to Jab tu kitchen me thi.. tab bataya... "

" Parr Misha ko to nahi pata tha.. " She asked in astonishment.

" Aisa tujhe lagta hai !! Use hamesha se pata tha.. but tujhe acha nahi lagta tha isliye she never mentioned. "

She fell silent realizing that the cakes and dinners Misha used to take her for on that day wasn't for her parent's anniversary but her birthday only. If not the celebration but Misha still made her do things other than usual on her birthday without letting her know what exactly it was for ?? She silently made Shehnaaz celebrate her day all these years.

" Itna kuch tumne itni jaldi kaise karr liya.. " She asked as the information made her more curious.

" Pata nahi.. bass ho gayaa.. Hamne gulmarg socha tha aur Misha wasn't sure ki use aane ka approval milega to she said ki we should go... parr ye tum dono ne sath me socha tha... tumhari first trip !! To No one deserves more than her to be here... " He stated like a fact.

" Firr doctor se consult karne gaye to yaha aane ka bola... jo aur hi badhiya hogya... " He said chuckling and looking up at her confused face.

" Yaha ke Visa ke liye hamne 6 mahine pehle hi apply kar rakha tha.. kyunki next month hame yaha aana tha.. Do din me baki formalities hogayi aur aagye !! " He told and felt her hold tightened around him and he very well understands the emotions behind that.

He raised his head and balanced himself on an arm caressing her hair and wrapping other one around her waist looking straight into her eyes.

" Us waqt maine Socha bhi nahi tha ki yaha aise aaunga mai... ye jagah mujhe itne happy moments degi !! .. ye jagah meri life ke new phase ko witness karegii !!.. New phase kya new life ko witness karegi... Mai ek naya Sidharth dekhunga jo itne saalo ka sab kuch ek sath hi bol gaya kal.. " He said turning playful at last and she smiled too.

And he was about to lie back but saw the oversized sweatshirt she was wearing which he didn't noticed yet.

" Ye tere pas tha ?? "

" Huh ??... Haaa " She got confused first and then replied.

" Maine Room upar neeche kardiya dhunte dhunte.... "

" Mujhe chahiye thi... " She replied pouting sadly.

" Kyuu ??? " He asked teasingly.

" Basss chahiye thi naa... " She replied stubbornly making him smile and laid back again.

" Vaise ek surprise aur hai tere liye ?? " He told

" Kyaa ?? "

" Sochhh tu !! Kuch time pehle hi bataya tha tune mujhe.... " He looked up again hinting her and she tried hard to remember.

" Chal jaane de.. seedhe dikhaunga.. " He said and she happily gave in.

More than the surprises just this strong, clearly visible intention of him was bursting her heart. She cupped his face and pulled him unknowingly and unnoticeably closer.

" Sab wishes ek sath hi poori karega kya ?? " She said slowly pretending playfulness but the cracked voice exposed the emotional surge.

" Repeat karlunga... parr wait nahi karna hai mujhe... " he whispered with utmost honesty making his nose touch her's and making her heart go wild.

Even his indirect confessions were way more effective then she believe direct ones could ever be and with no thought she lifted her head a little and even before assuming her action his hand naturally went behind her head and she pecked him softly. No idea what exactly ?? the weather outside or inside ?? But that touch of mere seconds tingled his lips leaving him with an urge of completing what was left since the night before. Or maybe what she did was just an indication for the same.

It was so weird and she never knew thar she can bear this weight and she wasn't affected with him crushing her whole but just his touch, his arms wrapped around, his legs entangled and her half mind realized that, that side of closeness was new.

Hovering over her he rested on his elbow and other arm wrapping her waist, he pulled her beneath him as much possible.

He just can't get enough. And no other reason, but just that this particular human was for him only. This particular person held a power over him that he never knew exist. This particular person erupt a wave of emotions with nothing and in no time. How much he has in for her was just not something he could handle.

He held back of her head and other arm gripping her waist and fingers dugged in. Covering the little gap he kept his lips on her's which curled up and quivered. This effect of his when felt physically made his insides churn with emotions difficult to explain. That mere effect tells him that 'this' was 'just' his right... and he held her lower lip drowning himself in tracing those soft insides while she did the same.

This surge of emotions with each passing second was having a weird effect on their minds. They felt their minds equally dizzy and alert. It felt like every little action and movement was clear but not processed. Their muscles felt unevenly twitching and unevenly hot.

And removing his elbow support he left himself free on her to be more closer.. and not getting enough he unknowingly kept pulling her closer as if possible But he could just not get enough. They kept proceeding, consuming each others with a passion like never known. A havoc created in her, feeling all his weight and his touch all over her. Thumb of his hand gripping her waist came in front and rubbed her belly with utter softness, making her hold it tight for the tingles caused inside. Her insides were going crazy and she just doesn't knew how to handle. But maybe her body do and as his thumb stopped or stucked at her belly button a moan left her mouth letting her know what would help her but would definitely unhelp him and for the very first time, her moan didn't made her conscious but it definitely surged up his emotions and he unknowingly wriggled crushing her down. Their passion to consume each other instead of settling just increased in folds.

Holding his nape, she pulled pressed him more against herself and they deepened their hold on each other in every freaking way. Their lips kneaded each other and the unreasonable urge to trace every corner was making them proceed to feed it. His hand wrapped aroung her waist moved up rubbing her back inside the sweatshirt which moved up more exposing her belly completely. Somewhere her mind got alert within that numbness. Within that shirt there was no barrier and she was all bare to his touch now already and on the verge of exposing to his eyes too. As the thought striked, it made her needful of a deep breath and she pulled out. His hand moved wrapped around her waist came in front and rubbed her belly making her hold it tight for the tingles caused inside.

He softly kissed her chin, not the first time but she could sense the never felt intensity even with closed eyes and her grip on his shoulder tightened. He shifted down and sucked her throat softly first and then with a force, reflecting his insides and reminding her a similar moment to her and not sure whether to settle those wriggle urges or to help him or may be both !!... she tilted her head back arching her back while her fingers moved harshly through his hair and dugged more into shoulders otherside.

Her responses were just feeding the constantly growing passion in him and somewhere they knew it wasn't a controlled action anymore like every other time. This time a lot more and new was there. For the first time their proximity wasn't controlled. For the first time this proximity wasn't satisfying but each second was pushing them to next. For the first time they weren't pouring out the temporary surges of emotions but pouring out something which they hold for each other for life, pouring out something which was foreign for both of them, pouring something they didn't knew what to call or may be they do... but just being the first time, naming it was creating a reluctance. Desire !! Desire it was... added up with love, affection, care, passion, possession, obsession and every freaking thing. It actually never felt like a good word but suddenly felt like a worship to them for each other. That's love !! Changes your perspective in no time.

He came down the throat at the slightly bare neck and he held the skin over so possesively that he just didn't felt like leaving it. He made sure that the spot is in hold with teeth or lips or the tongue..
She felt her body stiffening up with the sensations and it became difficult to handle. Unaware of what could help, her body stretched in the attempt to help those sensations but a moan came out again.

But what now ?? They never thought of this.. Even the thought ahead of this didn't crossed their minds. They never actually got the time. They were always engrossed in living the moment amd replaying the moments. So all the progresses were just so natural.

But being on this verge this question erupted like an emergency thought. Was she ready if he proceeds ?? Was she ready for this involvement ?? She doesn't even had an answer for herself. Saying a yes felt kind of unfamiliar and for a 'no', she doesn't have a reason.. She knew she doesn't needs one for him.. he won't ask ever but she didn't had one herself too. Going ahead felt strange which was obvious but stopping him just felt so wrong for her ownself.

But he realised he has to stop. He somewhere knew the extent of trust and devotion she has for him. But he just can't... Atleast now !!

He dugged his face into her neck and snuggling deep as much he could breathing harsh controlling those urges and his warm erratic breaths felt like burning her insides. She could easily make out that he was stopping himself forcefully but couldn't derive the reason. Wasn't he sure enough of her trust in him ?? Or was she rushing and moving ahead than him ?? The latter was still fine apparently but the former one was hurtful... But no, she won't do that again.. She was hoping to know the reason... directly or indirectly !! Atleast till the time they fell in such conversation.

And above all, she saw this gentleness of this amazing man again. No matter whatever the reason was.. one thing was clear.. that he stopped himself for her only. And the realization swelled her heart with all the love, respect, admiration everything what his action made her feel.

She tilted her head sideways and placed a kiss on his hair as strongly as her heart pounded. Feeling that, he smiled cheekily against her shoulder actually like a baby which she felt against her neck and she patted his head making him sleep.

___________________________________

Vardaan woke up after a while when his phone beeped. He checked it and looking at the drained battery he got up to go to this room to put it on charge. He saw Alice, Niti & Varun sleeping. Misha wasn't there. He assumed she must be slept already in her room. He so wanted to talk to her. Owing to the situation and his self doubts he couldn't. He doesn't know his place in Misha's life, he doesn't know if he holds that right to ask her if she was upset ??

But even if he doesn't know about the right he expects, he knows about which he already holds. Even if could not talk how exactly he wants to !! But atleast he knew the way he could. The friendship they had wasn't doubtful and it itself held some rights. And engrossed in his thoughts he moved towards his room when his eyes crossed a view across the little opened door inside the room Sidharth and Ankush were sharing.

Before the image could be even imprinted on his mind, he crossed the door and then, he stepped back in a go as it processed. He stood on the door with a strange feeling.. unable to conclude what he was watching he could just say it felt sickening.

Misha was there sitting backing him. Rubbing her face with handful of cotton. It didn't looked like cleaing at all. And within few seconds she dejectedly left it and dugged her face into her own lap, her constantly shaking body was making him hear even her silent sobs... sobs out of frustration !!

She wouldn't had been at this place if those newly found feelings wouldn't had made her wish to be perfect for Vardaan unknowingly... She didn't even let those supressed thoughts and emotions to completely pass through her mind, it felt so stupid to her. How could she even think ?? She couldn't even dare to confess her feelings to even herself. It felt like a part of her ownself laughing over her words. Would he even take her seriously if anyhow he gets to know this ?? Or he would consider her like some other fangirl who dreams to marry him. The friendship they hold would turn ashes in no time and that mockery her conscience was playing inside would be out there in front of all.

Pyaar ko khone se zada darr,
uske mazaak banne ka hota hai...

And besides that, she was dejected by calling herself imperfect over something like this, she was frustrated making judgements for herself over the factors she felt ridiculous all her life. And these thoughts were torturing her together in both ways.

She sat up straight and rubbed her cheek again with that cotton.. So harshly that even cotton would hurt. But the hurt inside wasn't just settling. And she screeched in frustration with gritted teeth wrenching his heart. Her emotions were undirected and insecurities were finding a reason to come out. Her shattered self confidence was adding up to her frustration and nothing particular but this mess was hurting her mentally, emotionally and physically.

" Misha !!! Stop it !! Kya kar rahi ho ?? " Vardaan came running to her.

" What is wrong ?? Why are you torturing yourself ?? " He made her stood up holding her arms and she just realized how he must have seen her.

" Nn...nothing !! Sorry !! " She said just for the sake of saying as she didn't knew what else she could.

" Sorry for what ?? " He said sternly but remained quite.

" Mishhh ?? "

" Look !! It's difficult for me to believe what is front of me !! You are upset malum hai !! But please !! You have to speak up... You only give lecture to Sana to talk and share.. Haina ?? " He tried explaining but she was still quite all embarrassed and finding answers.

" I am here Misha.. I am here to listen !! If not me !! talk to anyone. But please don't torture yourself. Please !! " Vardaan said pleadingly and didn't realized when his voice got heavy.

He stood there looking at her hopingly.
A hope unsaid to even himself. He hoped that she would say that No !! She want him only, that she wants only him to lean on in such time. He wanted to know his place and buy that confidence to be with her undoubtedly in every inevitable bad more than good one.

He kept looking and his hope was fading with her silence. She was in such a mess. And how would she tell it to him when she couldn't to even herself ?? How would she explain that her own conscience was mocking her ?? Mocking her for her feelings.. for the way she was unwantedly watching herself in Vardaan's life and for the way she was perceiving herself. Everything was interconnected and woven mess and frustration was becoming unbearable and she knew that it was only him who could give her that much-needed moment of peace.

Misha looked at him helplessly. He has seen her a total stubborn person who won't accept her defeat even in a game and watching her this dejected churned his heart. Without giving any thought, he did what was needed then and he pulled her into a hug trying to transmit all the protectiveness he feels for her. And she pushing all the consciousness aside freed herself from supressing those sobs which came out bursting.

Her eyes were closed and scrunched tight. Maybe to pour out every little drop. She was facing the mirror and he was looking at her through the mirror. It was a painful sight but it felt like it was his responsibility to be in every moment of her pain with him.

Sometime later she opened her eyes and watching her own reflection she turned her face to the other side still hugging him. He noticed the abnormal action but couldn't understand it and ignored.

And then parting away softly, he took the wipes and started wiping her face so softly as he himself didn't realized that he was doing something like that for the very first time. She looked down and away all the time and for some odd reasons he knew it wasn't the awkwardness of the space they were sharing suddenly. It was something else. But no idea what exactly ??

Misha in a slightly baffled state released her hair tucked behind her ears and let them fall ahead. Vardaan scrunched his eyebrows looking at her action opposite to a usual one. And just randomly, it clicked him that nothing else happened with that action except her side of forehead got covered. And collecting the previous things he somehow concluded what was affecting her but he couldn't believe it. The Misha he knew wasn't someone he could believe to be this much effected with something like 'this' . The Misha he knew was someone who was making fun and jokes of her plasters and marks herself. He just doesn't know this Misha !! Only if he knew that even Misha herself doesn't recognize that Misha and that was the reason she couldn't direct her thoughts and feelings and reactions to a sane path.

" Don't tell me this is affecting you !! " Vardaan said quite sternly and the tone was foreign to him and she stayed silent.

Ofcourse if it was any other day other than these few, she herself wouldn't had find the reactions coming out of her digestible and that too over 'this' stupid thing.

" I just don't believe it Misha !! I...I just don't recognize this Misha !! " He said in frustration.

She knew and accepted herself wrong but again.. The expectations !! Expectation that he would understand and his words pushed her to prove that she wasn't that wrong. Or may be a part of her mind wanted him to realize the backstory and her insecurities behind and assure him. Because somewhere she knew that it was his assurance only she needed.

" This is making me feel ugly !! " She shouted in irritation,

" I... I don't like this " She screeched.

" I don't feel myself with these layers.. I never liked this and that was my choice.. Nahi hota comfortable feel... but now !! No choice !! Karna hi padta hai !!... I felt a like a joker down there.. I have just lost myself... I couldn't stand besides you confidently in that picture.. like.. like I was the spoiler.. photo bomber !! " She kept venting out unfiltered losing her sanity with each word.

" Shut up !! " Vardaan shouted getting mad over the words she was chosing for herself.

" Just Shut up..... Mujhe life me na itna gussa kabhi kisi pe nahi aaya.... trust me !! He said in an extreme cold tone and how badly he was holding in was so clearly visible.

" Dare you speak a word more !! "

" You. fought. for. your. freaking. life. you remember that ?? You. fought. death. !! And they. are. the bloody proofs " He said in with gritted teeth in an failed attempt to not show his madness.

" They are the proofs that you survived and healed yourself over something really horrible. You already have a battle marked on your name.. " He told like she didn't knew it and he left her arms in a jerk getting frustrated that he had to remind her all that.

" Just tell me one thing !! " He asked calmer than before but she kept her head down all this while.

" Mai teri jagah hota agarr.. then you would have saw me, treated me the same way ?? Then you would have felt that I am all those marks ?? Or you would have called me ugly ?? Or You would have found me inferior to others ?? Or what you said.. ha.. You wouldn't had liked me standing besides you !! " And his words just change the angle for her to see the very same thing.

"Answer me !! "

She managed to look up and nod slightly in a no and guilt bursted out a sob.

" Nahii ??.. To ye mahanta sirf dusro ke liye hai ?? Ya fir aapko aisa lagta hai duniya me aisa pyaar sirf aap kar sakti hai.. bakio ka to sasta hai ?? " He blurted unawared that he put forward his emotion and his subconscious confidence in her feelings.

And she just stucked on the word he used which terms her emotions too... "Pyaaar !!" . But how come he acknowledged that ?? Part of her mind derived clearly what his words must have meant but rest was still reluctant to put it in words.

" This... this looks ugly to you ??... Then you should know that when I realized what you are to me you. were. in. your. worst... Duniya ko achi nazar se dekhne ka koi matlab nahi hoga jab tak khud ko usi nazar se nahi dekhegi... it would be all useless.. " He said and the initial words blowed her heart away and last one's her mind.

Huffing out he pulled her to bed. Made her drink water and made her lie down while she just couldn't understand the abrupt halt by him on the conversation, the partial, confusing statements... but the embarrassment of her actions was not allowing her to even look at him let alone asking anything.

" Jussst Sleeep !! .. Aur Isko. thanda. kar !! " He said poking her forehead scoldingly and for some reason she just felt it so righful of him him and it felt so relieving !!.. so soothing !!

He covered her and came out to his room.. just to give her and himself time. He just couldn't understood all this. He fell for Misha because of the natural comfort she would be for him, because of how unpretentious she was , because of how she wouldn't give a damn to her appearance even when he was almost a stranger to her. He just doesn't expect her to hurt herself for something 'this' meaningless.

_________________________________

Sidharth wake up the next morning and not even opening his eyes, he knew everything around. He silently sighed realizing that he had moved a bit aside at night, saving her from much of his weight. And he smiled imagining the picture. The actions were for her to blush and replays were for him. He wondered after how long he got a fresh morning, a content morning !!.

" Naaaz !! " He mumbled in a raspy voice with eyes still closed digging himself more into her neck.

His action already pulled her to half sleep and she could feel his movements and breath. Of course, the controlling part of mind wasn't in action yet so her response came out unadulterated and unsupressed and a sleepy moan came out making him wide awake.

The happy insides were jumping already and watching this effect was blowing his mind. So before would lose himself he sat up slowly on the bed.

" Shehnaaz !! Get up baby !! " He tried waking her up ruffling her hair subconsciously while checking his phone besides.

She opened her eyes lazily and smiled looking up at him who was engrossed in checking something on his phone. Ofcourse she missed this morning view so badly. Watching him as first thing in morning has a different significance in whole. This morning view holds her peace of the entire day.

He looked down in between to wake her up again and stopped watching her looking at him so fondly. That mere look in her eyes could shudder his heart.

" Ready hoja jaldi.. mera samaan room me hai aur Mish ko bhi ready hona hoga na.. " He said patting her cheek and got up and moved out.

Removing the blanket she came out and the sudden hit of coldness diverted her attention to the raised sweatshirt. The exposed belly replayed the night in her mind and made her shut her eyes forcibly not sure whether out of shyness or to see the replay even better !!

She could still feel every freaking incch of the touch.. Those fingers dugged into waist.. That rub on the belly.. that warm palm on back.. that tanglings with his legs.. that stubble on her chest.. those breaths on her neck.. those lips galloping shoulder.. that wet tongue tingling on the neck.. Everything together just made her shudder vigorously making her feel liking hiding from her ownself and such a similar attempt she rushed inside the washroom.

____________________________________

" Good Morning Buddy !! " Sidharth wished Misha in an unusual excitement.

" Morning !! " Misha wished back with an unusual reply which Sidharth could expect from her.

" Mishh !! Is something wrong ?? You are not liking it here ?? Tune kuch aur socha hai to bata na.. help hoegi hamari bhi.. we'll do that.. "

" Seriously ?? This is beyond one could think... Who would not like this ?? Kuch bhi bolte ho.. " Misha replied faking her own oldself.

" Then what don't I see you.. how I see you ?? "

" Matlab maine tum dono ka koi moment abi tak disturb nahi kiya... to mai normal nahi lag rahi tumko ?? " Misha said trying hard to be how she wants to be and everything laughed out loud listening to her except Vardaan and Sidharth and both for the obvious reasons.

Shehnaaz came out of the room and found everyone there already. Her eyes fell on Misha and she remembered what Sidharth told her at night. She went and just hugged her tight. Everyone including Misha were confused with this but Sidharth smiled looking at them.

" Tere mummy papa ki anniversary kab hoti hai ?? " Shehnaaz asked with scrunched eyebrows and Misha laughed listening and understanding all.

" 29 Feb.. Chaar saal me ek baar !! " Misha replied laughing out loud. A genuine laugh !! After so long !!

____________________________________

" Phone rakh liye sabne ?? " Sidharth asked putting the bags in car.

Shehnaaz bit her tongue listening to him and she remembered that she actually didn't even saw her phone since he was around. But then remembered, that it should be in bag only because she didn't took it out.

She took it out and it was on the verge to getting off. The screen showed no call, no messages on phone. Well !! The one's who do were here in front of her and having nobody else's wasn't unexpected.

After years, her birthday went without phone and without the wait for that single call which she knew would not come. It wasn't like those wishes weren't expected now.. the importance those wishes hold was still the same but the grief to not have them wasn't. She was happy to have and to hold the happiness bestowed by this amazing man and these amazing people. She didn't felt like wishing for anything more which she knew wouldn't happen. She didn't even wished to unlock and check more.. It just felt a lot to do.. and she moved ahead to Sidharth and slided her phone into his jacket with a failed sneaky attempt.

He looked besides in a go feeling the intrudance and she smiled cheekily giving a buttery smile.

" Meri pocket me hath rakhne hai meko... " She said with such an innocence that a smile bursted on his hardly maintained straight face making her smile wider.

" Baith andar " He said slamming her head smiling wide and made her sit inside.

And he turned to see Maa and Aunty watching them. Maa knew he will get all baffled but then she was no less a tease and over that, his blushy face was Maa's favourite.

_____________________________________

They reached station and boarded the train.

Alice was a little away talking on phone and came back after a while. Vardaan shifted to give her a space to sit.

" All okay ?? " Vardaan asked extremely slowly having a hint of her conversation already.

" I'm going Stockholm !! " Alice replied.

" Why ?? "

" Grandma is not well... " Alice told and Vardaan side hugged comforting her.

" Is there something I can do ?? "

" Just let me know when you reach Stockholm.. " Alice said lightening the talk.

" Ofcourse !! " Vardaan assured and hugged her.

Misha unaware of the conversation, noticed it all unwantedly. Vardaan's words atleast pulled her back to her old notions, she gathered her principles back for her ownself. She realized how gross she always considered degrading someone, degrading yourself was worse of all... She realized that your notions of 'no judgements' are hollow if you can't apply it on your ownself... She felt so ashamed that she let the things which she always called and found meaningless, affect her to such extent. She didn't let herself ridicule her ownself self anymore but the hurt was still same. Watching him with someone else hurts and expecting him with herself felt a lot to even think. And because she couldn't even give herself reasons to call her expectations stupid by ridiculing herself now, she just doesn't know how to feel, how to think and how to act. She just felt lost.

___________________________________

A little later others got down at Boden bidding Alice a bye and Alice moved ahead to reach her parents place.

Coming out of the station, a driver was already standing there with their name board.

An hour later, they reached the destination. Coming out from the car they looked around and found just trees... a vast & dense jungle all around. Before they could even define the place to themselves, a decently dressed man.. may be the manager came to them and welcomed them all and directed them to other way inside the jungle. They followed him looking around which had nothing but just dense bushes and trees, some short and some tall snow covered trees.

" Your stay for the next two days sir !! " The Manager gained their attention pointing up at a tree.

They turned to see in the direction and found a beautiful childhood dream almost everyone see in all reality in front of them. A tree house !! Actually The Tree Hotel it was !!

They decided to rest for a while as they got up early and the journey was long and tiring. Sidharth dropped Maa and Sarita Aunty to their room and came back to everyone who were lazying around in the master bedroom stuffed into the bed and couches.

They were talking and looking at the pictures and strolling on their phones when Sidharth saw Shehnaaz looking out of the window with some thoughts going through her mind. Those unsettled unnamed things were running inside unwantedly. She wasn't upset, she wasn't hurt and she definitely didn't assumed anything but she wasn't at peace also.. the question was erupted already and answer was needed to settle her mind. Whatever it was she wanted to know clearly but didn't knew how to even ask clearly ??

Sidharth was noticing her, some questions were so clearly visible to him in her eyes.

" Shehnaaaaz !! " She got startled listening his voice and listening to the tone she couldn't assume how many calls she had missed.

He raised his brows questionably finding her all lost and she nodded in a no immediately. She looked around everyone was already slept or half slept except them.

" Bahar chale ?? " He asked again gaining her attention.

" Kidharr ?? "

" Tafriii maarne.. " He replied chucking and she giggled.

" Haha... chal.. "

Leaving a message they came out and were randomly strolling around the forest and could conclude just one thing. There's only one miracle.. the nature itself !! It can make the most random thing beautiful beyond a human brain could ever think of.

" Meko bataaa ??? Ye ped zyada jawaan ya ye wala ?? " She asked like a very serious question.

" Ye.. "

" Kaise ?? Height to iski badi hai !! "

" Pagal aurat height se age pata chalti hai ped ki ?? " He said and her face scrunched.

" Acha acha sorry !! " He apologized immediately.

" Sahi se nahi samjha sakta ?? " She scoffed.

" Acha.. okay.. Aaja !! Science padhte hai yaha baith ke... " He said convincing her and she glared at his another comment.

" Acha ha naa.. ye dekh ye kata hua ped hai ?? " He said hurriedly actually getting scared of her expressions.

" Haa .. "

" To ye gol gol rings hai na isme... annual rings.. isse pata chalta hai age.. "

" Oooo...kayy.. "

" Kaha se dhundta hai aisi cheeze ?? "

" Baby kitaabe padhi thi school ki ?? "

" Haa isi ne padha hai akela... Merko kyu nii yaad rehta ye sab ??? Hamesha newton bana firtaa rahega.. " She moved ahead leaving him behind murmuring and cursing him.

" Shehnaaz !!! " Sidharth called loudly and came running to her and stopped putting an arm around her neck.

" Dekh iski smell kitni mast hai ?? " He said putting his hand in front of her face having some crushed leaves.

She tilted his head forward and smelled it and moved back in a jerk. She felt like puking for the instant and Sidharth started laughing looking at her.

" Paaaapiii aadmi !! " She screamed in irritation scrunching her face and held his hair in her fist making him yelp.

______________________________________

" Sidharrrthhh !! Wo dekh !! " She squealed in excitement and he turned where she was showing.

After so much of white, the colours felt treat to their eyes. And moving a little ahead it was all colours and so many of them. All bushes and shrubs arounds with so many colouful berries escalated the excitement.

She moved and picked few. And now getting excited like watching something new whereas they had the same berries with the refreshments in their rooms but didn't had there any.

" Sidharth ye dekh !!! " She squealed cheerily showing him the handful of berries.

" Room me rakhe hai na... firr itne kyu collect kar rahi hai ?? "

" Wo maine thodi tode hai.. " She reasoned out.

" Okay collect if you want ... but don't eat " He ordered clearly.

" Kyuuu ?? " She questioned disappointingly scrunching her nose.

" Not all of them are eatable meri jaan... vapis jake pooch lenge then have it.. "

" Tab tak to maza kharab ho jaegaa.. " She said to god knows to whom in a lost tone.

" Hein ?? "

" Aurrr kya ?? Ped se tod ke khane ka maza alag hota hai... " She said stubbornly.

" Tu naaa.. pooori pagal hai.. "

" Aurrr kya ?? Sacchii bol rahi hu.. try karke dekh le.. "

" Nahii aap karoo !!!... nahiiii matlab nahi karoo... aam ke bagiche me nahi aaye hai.. jungle hai aur kuch wild berries poisonous. bhi. hoti. hai... " He told and she nodded understanding him but still pouting disappointingly.

" Achaaa sunnn.. " She called him still engrossed in berries.

" Sunaaoooo !! " He replied absentmindedly and the listening the word and the tone her insides felt tingles.

A sweet blushy smile appeared on her face. She herself couldn't explain why exactly but being addressed this way holds something really strong but unexplainable. Not finding any answer further he looked at her and she suppressed the smile.

" Ankush ko bata de.. uth gaye honge to aa jayenge wo bhi... "

" Haa.. "

Sidharth called Ankush and told him to come along with all. They joined them a little later and after a good strolling around the nature, they came back when it was getting dark.

They had a good time over the dinner in an open area setup.

After dinner they moved back to tree house. Shehnaaz was sitting with Maa and Aunty and was so engrossed in her random blabbering like the world doesn't exist and making the other two just wonder over the innocence dripping from everything of her's. Who were the people who could dare to lose such purity from their lives ??

After a while she came out and everyone was already in rooms and she went to the room she kept her bag in the morning. She changed and keeping the stuff back to the bag not wanting to do the packing all over again she sat on the bed covering her.

Sidharth came a little later and saw her sitting on the bed against the headboard with her legs folded and engrossed in doing something with her toes scrunching her nose constantly.

" Kya hua ?? " He asked looking at her and getting into the bed but she was so engrossed that she heard but couldn't process what to answer.

" Bol naa.. " He asked again poking his head in between trying to see what she was doing.

" Sidharth hatt na dikh nahi raha hai.. "

" Abey itni upar se dikhega bhi kaise.. kamar jhukaoo thoda neeche aaoo.. " He said playfully but she was definitely not in the mood.

" Achaa idharr de.. " He said taking the nail clipper from her hand and pulled her leg on his lap.

" Dard hori hai yrr ye dekh andar ghus gaya nakhoon.. " She whined.

" Dord hoti hai ya hota hai ?? " He asked engrossed in working over her nail.

" Tujhko aise time pe zada irritate kyu karna hota hai ?? "

" Aise time pe tu zada irritate hoti hai.. mai to utna hi karta hu.. "

" To kyu karta hai... " She scoffed.

" Kyunkiii...... haa.. " He said and stopped and she looked down listening to the clipper's sound.

" Abi dukh raha hai ?? " He asked rubbing the toe sideways with his thumb inspecting it.

" Hmm ?? " He looked up finding no answer and found him looking at him.

How he care was something out of even imaginations... Just so soft.. so natural.. so effortless. Startling him, she came on her knee and kissed him on cheeks and laid down the another second. Unaware of the reason of this sudden love, he smiled unbelievably and slided down on bed pulling her closer and she laid on his chest with a hand enterwined and playing on it's own.

" Pictures dekhe ?? " She suggested picking up his phone.

" Tera phone kaha hai ?? " He asked as he remembered.

" Meraaa ?? phone ?? .. aa..mm.. bag me.. " She replied hesitantly.

" Aur kabse charge nahi kiya ??? " He asked being pissed and she remained silent.

" Ghar pe hai tu ?? Aise careless ho rakhi hai !! " He said quite sternly.

" Daant kyu raha hai... tu to hai na sath me... " She said slowly looking down and pouting.

She was telling the actual reason but she knew very well that it was gonna be no help and she was correct but what about the faces she was making ??
He stayed silent over her reasons lookimg down at her puckered lip and slightly scrunched nose and her face wasn't helping him.

" Kya karu mai tera ?? " He said faking annoyance smacking her cheek playfully and hugged her tighter the next second.

And that was it !! The kiddo was out of danger of scolding and looked up at him. Smiling wide she squeezed him.. or at least tried to.

" Pyaar karrr !! " She suggested and demanded together ever so cutely smiling cheekily.
