***Arush's P. O. V***

Almost two months had passed since I'd asked Sahana to work at my cabin and things were smoother than melted butter!

I'd come early and wait for her, and then my angel would come, filling my day and my life with brightness, making my heart skip a beat every morning when I'd see her for the first time for that day.

Maybe this is love I don't know what but the way she smiles shyly at me, the way she looks at me when she thinks I'm not looking at her, the way she wishes me good morning and good night, the way she fits perfectly in my arms.... I just want to get lost in her - whatever that means!

Even as a workaholic I loved weekdays and hated weekends - that's how much I loved my job. But since this whole Sahana business it's all like.... I hate weekends because I can't see her!

Reyansh does invite me almost every Saturdays to watch movie or go out with his other friends, but even then it's not like I get to spend a whole day with Sahana... And I can't just go to their home right?!

On the rare occasions when both her parents and even Reyansh aren't home, she'll call me and I go spend the whole day with her, but that's happened like twice in the last two months!

And my home...don't even get me get started on it!! Mom and dad keep asking about Sahana every day, pestering me when I'll introduce them to her!

Ahana has been busy with work now a days and hence she's too busy to pester me about my "girlfriend" else even she'd have been irritating me now!

My trail of thoughts got broken as a familiar lavender fragrance filled my nostrils and my lips automatically tugged into a smile.

"What are you thinking about so much?" Sahana asked, circling her arms around me from behind my chair and kissing my left cheek.

"You" I said, holding her hands and snuggling more into her.

I let go off her hand and turned my chair around to face her and chuckled, seeing how the top of my head reached her chest.

"What's so funny?" She asked, pouting a little.

"Nothing nothing..." I said, chuckling again.

"What is it?" She asked, putting both her hands on either side of my shoulders.

I tugged at her hand so that she landed on my lap and put my arms tightly around her, preventing her from getting up.

"It's not nice to kiss only one of my cheek! My right cheek got angry" I pouted, to which she giggled, albeit her cheeks turned pink.

She cupped my face and turned my face around and kissed my right cheek.

"Now my lips are angry because you pay attention only to my cheeks" I said, smirking at her.

Though we'd kissed n-number of times over the past 2 months, Sahana still shied away when it came to kissing me on her own.

Blushing scarlet, she moved forward and pecked my lips before biting her lip and looking away.

"No fear of someone finding out about us is it?" I asked her seeing how she rested her head on my shoulder and got comfortable on my lap.

"Everyone is in cafeteria seeing how it's a tea break, and in any case, as if anybody's gonna even walk in front if your cabin when they know a hungry dragon rests in this cabin" she said, toying with my shirt button.

"Baby this dragon is only hungry for you" I said, to which she got up from my lap abruptly and looked down at me with her reddened cheeks and saucer eyes.

I winked at her and putting my arms around her, pulled her closer and rested my head on her chest, her warm and soft bosom forming the most comfortable pillow of my life!

Sahana stiffened, seeing how this was the first time I'd ever done something like that, but soon relaxed and put her hands on my shoulder.

"Ugh I hate that hair gel of your's!! Can't even touch your hair" she said after a while.

"So I'll not wear hair gel from tomorrow onwards" I said, looking up at her.

Her cheeks were still pink and just to see the effect of it, I snuggled my face on her bosom and felt myself getting aroused at the softness of her breasts.

As expected, her cheeks turned to a darker shade of pink, surpassing magenta, and looking more cute than ever.

"I...uh...t...the....the... Others...girls...they'll ... gawk...you...no" she stuttered, and biting back my laughter, I pulled away.

"Did I make you uncomfortable?" I asked, looking intently at her.

Sahana bit her lip and her cheeks turned to the color of Ruby as she slowly shook her head in a 'no' making me chuckle.

"Can we spend a whole weekend away? This weekend?" I asked hopefully, kissing her palms one at a time.

Sahana gave me a sad smile, and I knew the answer even before she said it.

"That's what I was talking to you about which you didn't even hear! My cousin brother Pavan.... he's getting married next week so all of us are going to Delhi for his marriage... I'll be taking 6 days of leave, so with the Christmas holidays coming up I'll get a full 2 weeks" she said sadly, cupping my face, but I pushed her hands away.

"I hate your anger Arush.... Is it my fault that I have to go to my brother's marriage? C'mon Arush look once I'm back we'll spend a whole weekend away... I'll be back by new year" she said, tugging at my arm.

My eyes went wide in horror at the mention of new year and I turned to look at her, who had her head bent low and was fidgeting with her fingers.

"Two whole fucking weeks? A fortnight?! 14 fucking days? 336 whole fucking hours? What the fuck?" I asked, horrified.

"pre wedding functions.... And then there's Christmas too right?" She said sadly.

"yeah so? You don't celebrate Christmas!" I said a little too loudly than I'd intended to.

"Yeah so the whole family will be there so that whole week will be off too.. I'll be back by new year's" she said, trying to sound as though it was a treat for me, making me glare at her.

"I'll start the new year with you.... I'll be with you  at the start of the new year... C'mon... And after that I swear I'll come with you for a whole weekend c'mon Arush please?" She pleased, holding my hands tightly.

"please don't get angry please Arush... Please? Look I'll do anything you want c'mon please? One whole weekend away with you... anywhere you say... Please?" She begged, making puppy dog eyes and increasing her cuteness by another 100 times.

"Fine... But not a weekend, I need one whole week with you" I said, smirking.

"one week? Arush I can't put another 5 days of leave!" She said, looking at me with raised eyebrows.

"I have a plan... But you will promise to spend the whole week with me. Okay?" I asked, a plan already formulated in my mind.

"okay fine... So I get my leave?" She asked, raising her eyebrow.

" Yeah apply in the leave portal... So when are you going?" I asked, kissing her palms.

"Tomorrow morning" she said, making me choke on my saliva.

"what the fuck? So I don't even get to spend the weekend with you? I couldn't spend even last week with you because you had other plans... And this moment we're spending now has been the most I've spent you this week Sahana..." I trailed off, feeling like the world has come to an end.

"I'm sorry... Please Arush? " She said, kissing my cheeks.

"I'll be needing more than a kiss on the cheek if I have to be away from you for 2 weeks" I growled before pulling her face towards mine for a deep kiss.

Her lips were swollen and both of us were heaving for breath by the time we had broken off the kiss, and inspite her warm hug and lavender fragrance sending me to euphoria, I couldn't help but feel dejected at the thought that I'll be all alone for the next two weeks!!

***

Ten days had passed since I'd last seen the love of my life and it was like ten days on hell. My days were gloomy, my nights spent dreaming of her in my arms and with every passing day, my resolve to propose her to marriage only grew stronger. I can't be away from her for this long again!!

I've not slept properly in these 10 days seeing how due to her busy schedule Sahana wasn't able to even talk to me properly. I haven't even heard her voice in over a week!

Sahana had sent a good morning message the first thing in the morning everyday, and a good night message every night without fail.

But today, I sighed looking at the clock - it was well past midnight and Sahana had neither sent a good morning, nor good night message. She hadn't even sent the usual selfie if her in ethnic attire!!

Was she so busy that she couldn't even send me one message?

Laying down on my bed on my stomach, I took out my phone and opened the gallery to look at her pictures. She'd sent me her pictures from every event there, making me miss her more than ever.

Decked in pure ethnic wear, ranging from lehengas to anarkalis to even sarees, Sahana had sent me her pictures in all those dresses, and I couldn't wait to actually see her in a saree!!

My favorite picture of her's was however the one she'd sent of herself in a blue anarkali suit - yes blue has become my ultimate favorite since after Sahana, and after seeing her picture you'd agree too that she looks like an angel in blue!

I looked at the picture again, zooming in to look at her pretty face and sighed... Four more days to see her!!

Why does she have to look so pretty when I can't even have her in my arms?

"So you liked my picture that much huh?" I heard my angels voice, and I turned in such speed that I sprained my neck, but ignoring the pain, I looked in horror to find myself face to face with my angel... Sahana... the love and adoration for me was unmistakable in her eyes!

Her plum lips were inches away from mine, and seizing the opportunity, I moved my face forward, but my lips never found her's!!

I blinked my eyes and found myself alone in my room, with no Sahana around.

Feeling more dejected than ever, I fell back to my bed, thinking about her.

And then I heard it, the soft tinkle of her anklets, and I whipped my head around, to find my Sahana, tip-toeing into the room, and stopping abruptly as my eyes found her.

To be continued...
