"What happened?" I asked drying my hair after the shower and saw her frowning at her phone.

"The cyclone is getting intensified." She replied putting her phone away and rubbed her temples.

"You should go back tomorrow itself?" I asked sitting beside her.

"Yeah! I made arrangements only for the weekend. What if something goes wrong?" She asked in a worried tone.

I sighed not commenting as I feel when everything is already wrong with that place, what else can go wrong more than that.

If it was anyone else, I would have voiced that out immediately but I know she is serious about her place and so kept quiet.

"You just talk to your staff and ask them to manage." I said but she shook her head.

"Anyway, there is no news of cancellation for the bus tomorrow. So, I will just hope I can go back without any issue." She sighed leaning back to the head board and turned to glance at me.

"You don't need to inform your parents that you are here?" She asked and I sighed leaning back.

"Yesterday I told my Mom that I will not marry Pallavi and so she is not talking with me. My Grandmother also stopped faking her sickness." I replied closing my eyes.

"What did your Dad say?" She asked and I closed my eyes tightly without saying a word.

"Abhay?" she called me a few times as I stayed silent.

I chuckled a bit before saying, "He is no longer in our lives from the past few months."

"I am sorry..." I cut her off saying, "Even though I feel that he is head but he is not actually dead. He left my Mom saying he wants freedom and left the house."

This time she stayed silent and I finally said the things I didn't say to anyone till now. I leaned to place my head on her shoulder.

"After he left suddenly, the business was a mess. Even though he is an architect, he was handling my Grandfather's business. I had to step in and try to get in control these past few months. Mom is not showing any kind of emotion as if nothing happened and trust that he will come back soon. However, what is more troubling is she and my Grandmother are making all the noise to get me married. As if that will solve everything." I shook my head and felt her hands moving to hug me.

"Actually, I never want to get married. I don't trust in this love and everything. It is nothing but a noise. All I believe is attraction. Be together when it is there and get separated when it fades. That's all I believed and that's all I will ever believe. My Dad's action made my belief even stronger." I continued opening my eyes to stare at her and found her eyes closed leaning back to the headboard.

"When I first felt the attraction towards you, I thought we could have a relationship but backed away when you didn't want to. After coming here, I let go of it. And because of all the mess, I didn't feel like anything was interesting at all. However, when I met you again, I realized the attraction was still there. I tried to ignore it again but knowing you will leave today and we may never meet, I realized I should come and see you one more time and ask again. I am glad that you accepted to be in this relationship." I smiled kissing her cheek and closed my eyes to rest.

"Why aren't you saying anything?" I asked as she was still silent.

"I am not good at comforting people and so I don't know what to say. Let's get some rest. I need to wake up early." Saying that she moved her hands away from me and moved to lay down and I lay down behind her and hugged her.

I am glad that I came back to see her. How can I let go of one thing that is there according to my feelings and not just because someone forced me into it?

I smiled and drifted off into sleep hugging her while hoping she need not go back tomorrow and spend a few more days here. Why worry about that broken place?

*Anvi Pov*

"Hello, Jhanvi! How is everything there?" I asked in a worried tone after she picked up the call.

"Everything is fine here. Are you on the bus? I was asleep when you messaged me about the change in travel plan." She replied.

"No! When I was getting ready, I got the message that the services were canceled for today and they refunded the amount." I explained rubbing my forehead.

"It's okay! It would not have been safe to travel in that weather also. I can handle for a few days. Don't worry and get the rest you need. Isn't it been two years since you had a vacation?" She asked laughing and I couldn't share her joy.

"What happened? And where are you staying now? Will you get accommodation until the weather is clear?" She asked in a worried tone.

I glanced up hearing her question and found him working on his laptop with a calm face. How can he stay calm like that after saying all those things yesterday? He was even snoring but I couldn't sleep at all. I just thought after leaving this place and going to my place, I can think about what he said.

However, right now we both freshened up but had to wear just bathrobes and send the clothes for laundry as my bus got canceled and he too can't leave due to heavy rain.

"One second!" I said standing up and walked towards the second room in the suite.

I know it is rude to stand up and leave the room like this even though I am just talking to my friend but it doesn't matter what he thinks seeing me going into the washroom to talk. Right now I need to talk to someone before going mad.

I calmly explained to her what happened and about what he said yesterday but not his family matters.

"So, he doesn't like you but because of attraction he wants to be in a relationship?" She finally asked.

"Yes! I was just shocked and he also said stopping the relationship when the attraction fades like that." I explained.

"Do you like him?" She suddenly asked.

"I... I think so but just kind of... I..." I couldn't answer no matter how much I tried.

"See? You are doing the same thing that he is doing. He just voiced it out and you didn't. Why are you thinking too much about it?" She continued and I realized she was right.

I kind of like him but not too much that I will be hurt if he is not there in my life. It's like that for him too. Then why am I thinking too much about it?

"However, there is a chance for you to really like him and fall for him in the future but it may not happen from his side if he sticks to his thoughts. Maybe that's why you are flustered." Right! That's what... how did I not realize that and she realized it so soon with just a few words from me.

"Also, weren't you against a relationship to concentrate only on your goals and not get any kind of issues from a partner? You even agreed to a blind date because I forced you. This is perfect for you as you both stay at different places and you can continue with your life and still have a relationship. Isn't it?" I chuckled realizing I was unnecessarily thinking too much.

"But the problem is if you fall for him and if he leaves you. That will bring more pain..." I cut her off saying, "That will not happen. After my past mistake with that ex-fiance of mine, I am not just gliding by my emotions. As he is forefront with his notions, I can also control myself and will stay guarded and will definitely not get hurt."

"Okay! If you are sure about it then what are you doing talking to me? Enjoy your vacation and I will handle everything here. Also, don't forget the team you have trained. They will not disappoint you." I smiled hearing her words and cut the call.

I paced in the room for a few minutes to get everything cleared in my mind and walked out of the room.

As I opened the door to the room we were staying in, I stared at him scrolling on his laptop with a serious look on his face.

"Done? It's okay if you don't go back today, right?" He asked glancing up from his laptop.

"Yes! There will be no issue." I replied approaching the bed and sat down before him.

"I already knew it would not be an issue." He said shaking his head and I frowned but just moved my hand to close his laptop saying, "Will it be an issue to close it?"

"No! I am just checking the emails and rescheduling the meetings to online mode for the next two days because of the weather." He explained and didn't stop me from closing the laptop.

"I want to say something to you. I know you always say that I am honest with what I feel but I was not completely honest with you yesterday night. I finally got everything clear and I want to say that I will have this relationship with you based on the attraction we have." As I said this, he put the laptop aside with a confused look.

"Didn't we already establish that?" he asked frowning.

"No! We didn't! That needs to change a bit as you are thinking everything on your own and thinking even I feel the same and making decisions. We need to discuss about things. Okay?" I asked and he slowly nodded.

"Where was I? Right! I am ready for this and I don't know how this works with both of us staying at different places but let it work until our attraction fades." I continued with a smile.

He again slowly nodded and I leaned over to hold his face in my hands asking, "Do I have to take initiative for the second time also for our kiss?"

Hearing my words he suddenly circled my waist with his arms and pulled me completely over him and kissed me and I kissed back properly unlike the first time when we were just hesitant to get closer.

"I thought of ordering breakfast after you finish talking." He whispered over my lips.

"I am not hungry." I whispered back and he said something but it registered as he suddenly turned me over making me get stuck between him and the bed.

"What?" I asked again after coming over the shock.

"I asked if it was okay to skip breakfast." He repeated.

"Hmm! Let me think... actually..." he cut me off with a trail of kisses on my neck.

I laughed tugging the knot on the robe he wore after freshening up while he tugged mine. I paused in my action for a second but then realized we both are honest with what we want. Why to think? And then I stopped thinking anymore.

-------------------------------------------------

Actually, I planned for something else as a part of this story but I don't think I can install that anywhere in this and so I may skip that part and will make sure to make it a part of another story...

How is the chap?
