"It feels good to think about you when I'm warm in bed. I feel as if you're curled up there beside me, fast asleep. And I think how great it would be if it were true."

As soon as Dhruv and Aliya entered the room, Dhruv pinned her to the wall. Aliya got startled at first but then saw that Dhruv was staring at her with so many emotions. she wrapped her arms around his neck.

Dhruv : May I kiss you?

Aliya's eyes got moist because in today's world, where guys in many relationships don't take permission from their partners for intimacy, this guy was doing that. From that moment she started respecting him more and felt lucky to have him.

Seeing her eyes getting moist, Dhruv panicked thinking that she is not comfortable with him.

Dhruv : *Cupping her face*  Aliya, it's okay if you are not comfortable. I can wait, let's take it slow...

Before he could complete his sentence, Aliya placed her delicate lips on his rough ones for a soul stearing kiss. Dhruv got rooted at his place seeing this bold move.

On getting no reaction from his side, she bit his lower lip bringing dhruv back to his senses. Dhruv got back to his senses and started kissing her passionately.

After 5 minutes due to lack of oxygen they broke their kissing session and hugged each other tightly. Dhruv picked her up in bridal style and layed her on the bed and slept beside her

Dhruv : Sleep for sometime.

Aliya hugged him and both of them slept with a smile on their faces.

Tried something new with the outfit pictures.

Navya, Nandini and Mukti too reached their room. As soon as they entered, Mukti and Navya crashed down on the bed.

Nandini: Girls, get changed first! Have something and then sleep.

Navya : Nandu, I am very tired. Let it be na, I will eat later. For now I am going to sleep.

Mukti : Yes Nandu, even I am tired. Are you not tired?

Nandini: I am, I too wanna sleep but first I'll get freshup up.

Mukti : Ok!

Nandini went into the washroom and came out after 15 minutes. When she came out she saw Mukti and Navya sleeping soundly. She then went into the balcony and got mesmerised by the view in front of her, it was very beautiful and peaceful.

She saw there was a swing in the balcony so she went back into the room and brought her shawl and a novel to read. She sat down on the swing and started reading and slept there itself.

Abhimanyu, Cabir and Manik  also reached their room. Abhi and Cabir slept on the bed while Manik slept on the couch.

Though there was space on the bed for him, he preferred sleeping on the couch to rest freely without any conjestion.

Before sleeping he called at the Reception and asked them to arrange an extra bed till night. Manik's sleep broke after 1 hour because of the continuous ringing of his phone.

Cabir : *In sleep* Yaar Manik pickup your phone

Manik got up and received the call.

Manik : *In sleepy voice * Hello

Raj : Manik beta, did you guys reach safely?

Manik : Ha Dad, we reached an hour back. Sorry I forgot to call you. Voh we were very tired so we all slept and forgot to inform you.

Raj : It's okay beta, let everyone sleep and you also take rest. If any problem arises, call me okay. Bye, take care beta.

Manik : Sure Dad. Bye!

It was 9 past 10, so he thought to wakeup everyone to have dinner. He got freshened up and started the task of waking up everyone. First he went and tapped Abhimanyu's shoulder.

Manik- Abhi, wakeup! Let's have dinner.

Abhimanyu woke up without any tantrums and went to freshup. After a lots of cribbing Cabir too woke up. Manik asked both of them to get ready and come down. Till then he went to wake others. He knocked Dhruv and  Aliya's room. Dhruv opened the door

Manik : Buddy, get ready and come down for the dinner.

Dhruv : Okay

Manik: Vaise this lipstick looks good on you.

Dhruv blushed and closed the door saying that they will come down in sometime. Manik then knocked the girls room and Navya opened the door.

Manik : Hey! Get ready and come down for the dinner.

Navya : Yes!

Manik : Umm..Navya, if you don't mind can I come in? Actually I want to wake Mukti.  She is a big sleepy head and won't wake up easily.

Navya: Yes Ofcourse, come in!

Manik went and sat beside Mukti and started stroking her hair gently. Sensing his touch Mukti kept her head on his lap.

Manik : Mukti, wake up! Let's have dinner.

Mukti : Nahu na Manik, I am feeling very sleepy.

Manik : It's okay, you can sleep again but not before eating something.

After lots of tantrums Mukti finally woke up and Manik kissed her forehead. Navya was standing aside and admiring their pure bond. Suddenly Manik realized that Nandini was not there.

Manik : Navya, where is Nandini?

Navya : Maybe in the washroom, I'll check.

Navya went towards the washroom and knocked on the door, on not getting any response she pushed the door slightly and found it to be open. She went inside and found it empty.

Navya : Manik, she is not there in the washroom.

Manik got worried and rushed outside to check the pool side, lawn and the restaurant. He asked everyone outside but did not find her. Cabir and Abhimanyu who saw him running outside went behind him.

Cabir : Manik what happened? Why are you so tensed?

Manik : Nandini is missing! She is not even answering her phone.

Abhimanyu: Manik, I have her location access in my phone,I had kept it for safety reasons. Lemme check it!

They tracked her location and found it to be in the room only. Mukti and Navya were pacing in the room worriedly when the boys rushed towards them.

Navya : Nandini mili kya?

Cabir : No but her phone location says that she is here only! Maybe she left her phone somewhere over here!

Abhimanyu: Guys, did you check the balcony?

Manik- The balcony door was closed so we thought that she won't be there.

On realizing that she could be there too, they all rushed towards the balcony. When they went towards the balcony, they found the door to be slightly open. They pushed it further and saw Nandini sleeping cutely on the swing but was slightly shivering.

I will end the chapter here.
