AUTHOR'S POV

Adhyay's car is galloping on the road. Shravya is worried because he has overtaken and the city is left behind.

Adhyay smirks after looking at the tension on her face through the corner of his eyes. Without looking straight toward her he says.

"There is no need to panic so much, I will drop you at your house in the evening, you are not going to be kidnapped..... but I don't mind kidnapping you."

Shravya tries to contain her laughter at his lame joke while looking outside the window with her hand over her mouth and says.

"Do you think kidnapping a girl in the daylight is that much easier?"

"I don't know the time of day but the one whose sister is so dangerous will have to think many times before kidnapping her."

"Ruhi .... She calls you again ... "

Shravya closes her eyes tightly, She slowly lifts her eyes and looks at Adhyay who is currently looking straight due to driving on the road but after hearing her truth, he has a slight smile on his face. She tries to say again.

"Woh .... actually ..... "

"Ruhi called me ... that time .... I know this ... Till that time when I shout unnecessary on you, you don't even know that Ruhi has called me, but you listened to all my blabbering comfortably without saying anything."

"That's a small matter .... She did not know that you are very busy and there is too much childishness in her, so she called you without thinking."

"But still .... "

"Did she tell you something ..... "

" I scolded you for no fault she scolded me for my mistake."

"Ruhi scolds you .... "

He nods like a scared kid, which makes her laugh out loud at this, he slows the speed of the car and looks at her with a sweet smile on his lips. Shravya notices his sharp gaze at her, so she stops laughing and turns her face toward the window.

Adhyay did not say anything and sped up his car. After half an hour, He stopped his car in an outskirts Resort, they both got out of the car and moved forward.

As soon as both of them reach there, 2 girls welcome them. Adhyay nods at them and says to Shravya.

"You go with these two, they will show you our booked place, I have to talk to the manager, then I will join you there in a while."

She slightly smiles and moves with them inside, they both show the way of their private capsule.

"This is your private area sir book for you .... Would you like to order something?"

"No ... after a while ...."

She moves inside the capsule. It is made of bamboo. That small bamboo hut is covered with vines of trees, which is adding to its beauty even more. The capsule is not completely closed, its roof is completely open, which can be seen from the top which is made of glass.

"Very impressive .... "

She mumbles and moves towards the chair, a beautiful bouquet of orchids and a box of chocolates get her attention. She smiles and takes that bouquet with care as she likes those flowers very much. There is a note on which is written.

TO SAANJH

"Saanjh ..... "

She quickly puts the bouquet back in its place and starts coming back but as soon as she turns she collides with Adhyay, he quickly holds her protective by her waist, her both hands landing on his hard muscular chest, and feels his toned upper body unintentionally.

They both look into each other's eyes for a fraction of a few seconds. Adhyay leaves her waist with a meek smile on his lips. Shravya wants to hide her blush but fails badly, she immediately puts down her hands from his chest.

Adhyay clears his throat to get her attention, Shravya puts a strand of hair behind her ear and says nervously.

"I think someone else booked this place .... "

"No .... We are in the right capsule. I booked this for you....."

"Ok .... So maybe those people have put someone else's bouquet here by mistake...."

Adhyay goes ahead, picks up the bouquet and with slow steps again comes and stands in front of Shravya, and while forwarding the bouquet he says to her.

"There is no mistake from anyone, whatever is here, everything is for you only."

She takes the bouquet in her hands and shows him the note and says.

"But ..... SAANJH.... "

He looks at her but immediately turns to the chair and pulls the chair and indicates to her that she should come and sit there first.

Shravya bowing her head immediately comes and sits on that chair, Adhyay sits next to her by sliding the chair in front of her and taking her hand in his hands and says.

"Hum Nahi Jante ki apni baaton ko kaise kaha jata hai, na hi hum ye jante hai hum aapke layak hai ya nahi .... Haan hume itna pata hai aajkal har waqt hamein Shaam hone Ka intezar hota Hai .... Aapki wajah se .... Aur Na jaane Achanak se kab dil se aapke liye "SAANJH" nikala ....
(I don't know how to say my things, Even I don't know if I deserve you or not .... All I know is that nowadays I wait for the evening .... Because of you ..... But I don't know when my heart calls you "SAANJH") I don't mind if you don't like it, I will remember this but whatever is my feelings I already tell you ..... that's why I wrote SAANJH in that note ....

Shravya immediately raises her eyes and looks into Adhyay's eyes and says looking into his eyes.

"I don't mind ...."

Adhyay tightly holds her hand and says.

"Can I call you Saanjh always.... "

Pressing her teeth in the middle of her lips, she nods lightly and says to release the awkwardness of the moment.

"Aap achanak se yaha kaise .... "
(how are you here all of a sudden)

"I was feeling very uncomfortable since I talked to you rudely ..... And it was difficult for me to leave work like this all of a sudden because there are a lot of problems at this time ......"

"There was no such thing, there was no need for you to feel so uncomfortable, I am all right ...... You shouldn't have left work like this suddenly."

"You don't need to worry, all my work is done very comfortably, Raunak is already there, and in the evening I will also leave. Now I want to spend some time with you to earn your forgiveness."

"I'm not angry with you at all."

"but you should be .... My sister-in-law is better than you, who at least tells me that she is angry with me, if you ever get angry with me in the future how will I know that you are angry with me .... If you don't tell me, how will I understand that you have been hurt by me?"

Shravya smiled at this but didn't say anything, that waitress came again for there she slightly smiled and looked at her as she still remembers the last incident in the restaurant where Adhyay got angry at the waiter because he was looking at her more than necessary.

Adhyay places their order while looking toward her. She is smiling while bowing her face down.

Soon their order arrived. Both start eating silently. Adhyay's entire focus is on Shravya and he sees that Shravya is eating very little.

"Making good food is not everything, you should eat properly to make food properly."

"Yup ... I am .... "

"No, you are not .... I can still feed you with my hands but I know very well that you will be much more uncomfortable with this thing .... But if you keep doing this even after marriage, then I have no problem feeding you with my own hands."

Shravya starts coughing after listening to him, he passes the glass of water and smiles at her expression which changes because of his words, after a while, she feels easy but doesn't dare to look at him, and he continues.

" I like my effect on you .... Let's not make you more uncomfortable..... So how's your work?"

She answers him quickly because she doesn't want something unusual again to be welcome.

"Amazing ..... badi maa wanted me to take a holiday and go shopping with them but I don't want to do that .... as all my dresses are designed by Reva di."

"Reva .... "

"My cousin ... my uncle's daughter."

Adhyay looks at her. He wants to know more about Reva but doesn't want to spoil their date so he diverts the topic.

"You do not like shopping and my mother loves shopping so much that she has converted the whole house into a shopping mall just for the engagement ..... I don't know what she will do at the time of marriage."

He says with a sigh, Shravya smile at this, After finishing their food, he extends his hand towards her, and she also holds his hand shyly, his grip is very gentle and gives warmth to her, it is so calming.

Shravya is quite well noticing that Adhyay is trying to talk to her as much as possible which is not in his behavior at all. But he is probably putting in his efforts for her, which she feels deeply and feels very good with this slight change.

He takes her to the back of the resort, where there is an artificial lake. Many swans and herons are sitting there, seeing that a smile of happiness comes on Shravya's face.

Adhyay leaves her hand and she moves toward them and starts playing. Adhyay looks at her silently, he takes out his mobile from his pocket.

Sharma holds a small swan baby in her lap, smiling while caressing his soft features.

"SAANJH .... "

She immediately turned towards Adhyay with a smile on her face and swan in her hands, without wasting a single second he quickly clicked her picture, then came close to her.

"I want a selfie with you."

Shravya leaves the swan's baby and looks at him, he comes behind her, he is not touching her but this proximity makes her uncomfortable but still, she smiles, and Adhyay clicks lots of selfies with her. Everything is very new but feels so beautiful, Where his closeness makes her suddenly nervous, sometimes this closeness makes her feel much better.

After spending the whole day
together, both sit in their car to get back home, The two are not talking to each other. Adhyay grabs Shravya's hand after reaching the halfway point.

Shravya doesn't even try to get her hand free from his grip, she just keeps her hand in his hand, he smiles because if he is trying to change himself for her, so she also trying to come out of her shell. During the whole ride, he held her hand.

The car stops in front of Shravya's house, Shravya gets down from the car and Adhyay comes close to her.

"Come inside .... "

"Not today... It's almost time to leave for the airport."

She nods and says softly.

"It's ok .... Bye ... Take care..."

He nods, and she starts moving to go inside he calls her from behind.

"SAANJH .... "

She smiles shyly and presses her lower lip between her teeth, then turns towards him and releases her lips. He again comes close to her and says.

"I am sorry ..... I try to change myself ..... "

Shravya interrupts him in the middle and says while looking into his eyes without blinking her eyelids.

"Then don't try ..... Kabhi bhi kisi ke liye apne aap ko jabardasti nahi badalna chahiye Jab bhi Koi badlav kisi ke liye aana hota hai to vah apne aap aata hai na ki jabardasti ..... don't force yourself.
(Never change yourself for anyone, whenever any change comes to someone, it comes automatically and not by force.)

He smiles at this and she smiles slightly and goes inside.

Here is an update, I hope you like it, please let me know.

Adhyay tries to change himself.

I like the name "SAANJH"

The next update is on Tuesday.
