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

Still lost to the events of our shower sex, I took our order, smiling to myself, and turned to find Sahana looking at me in horror.

I raised my eyebrow at her as I moved forward and even as her eyes went wide with horror, Sahana shook her head in denial, whilst trying and failing to smile, looking more like someone was forcing the smile on her!

"What's wrong baby?" I asked in concern as I finally sat down next to her and placed our fully loaded plates on the table.

Sahana was visibly nervous as she gulped, shook her head, smiled and looked around.

"C'mon what happened? Did someone say something?" I asked, looking around to see what or who was bothering my betrothed.

Aw she's no longer just my girlfriend or beau... She's my betrothed now!!

Awww!!!

Yeah right... Well as happy as that late realisation makes us and our readers, can we concentrate on why Sahana is looking upset?? - my subconscious reminded me kindly.

Oh yeah right...

"Babe?" I cupped her face, forcing her to look at me.

"Kuch dekha? Yah phir kissi ne kuch kaha? Or are you not feeling well? Are you tired? You wanna go back to our room and rest?" I looked into her eyes, frowning at why she looked so.... Upset... Nervous... Afraid?

"Huh? Na...w...n...na Arush... It's just... Uh yeah... A little tired... And um well... Just... That's all..." she yawned loudly, stretching herself and looking like a cute lil kitten, before trying and failing to smile.

Wait did our shower sex tire her? Was I too rough on her?

I knew it... We'd had a long journey and she was already tired... Should have let her rest!! But with her acting so cute... I just lost control!! I was already so frickin' horny and then she's so adorable and sexy.... Shit I've just spoilt her evening!

"I'm sorry" I sighed sadly.

"What? No Arush... It's just... I'm feeling sleepy..." She smiled a genuine smile that put my heart at ease.

"Then why were you..." I began, but she cut me in.

"Told na... Just a lil sleepy... We'll eat this and go straight back to our room... You'll cuddle with me no?" She smiled brightly and batted her eyelashes, rather seductively I thought.

But ah my girl was looking so adorable, it didn't really matter anyway!

"Okay so we'll finish this quickly and leave?" I asked her, caressing her cheek and looking intently at her.

She smiled and nodded her head, stretching on her seat again and looking around, yawning.

*********

Stretching and yawning, I turned on the bed and blinked - where was Sahana?

After finishing our evening snacks, Sahana and I had come back to our room and lost to her warmth I'd fallen asleep the moment we'd cuddled on the bed.

It really did feel wonderful here on our trip - with Sahana in my arms for as long as I wanted, and nobody to disturb us and definitely no fear of getting caught!!

I chuckled to myself at the memory of Arush Sharma from a year ago - no idea about love, no idea of inner calmness and mental peace. And here I am, at peace with myself and with the world, contented with my life. And all thanks to one person - Sahana.

Sahana... yeh tu ne kya kiya?!

I smiled at the memory of our first meeting at how I was spell-bound by Sahana and that enigmatic pull that enchanted me towards her - made me forget the reality, because from that moment onwards, she had become a reality.... my reality!

I yawned and scratching my head, got up - where was Sahana?

Stretching and still smiling, I looked at my watch - I had slept for a good hour and it was the most relaxing sleep I'd had in a long time - because I was sleeping with Sahana!!

"Babe?" I yawned, still scratching my head and looking around for a sign of my fiance... ah the word sounds so good... my fiance.. my Sahana!

"baaaayyybbbbbyyyyy" I called out in a sing-song voice, chuckling at how Sahana would be blushing hearing me call her as my baby girl!

But she didn't respond - frowning to myself, I checked the empty bathroom, and the empty living room.

I hurriedly went back to the bedroom, to check if she had left a note for me, or to check if she's taken her phone to wherever she's gone - I can call 'n check on her!

Biting my lip, I searched for her phone, but found only mine. And neither did I find any note from her, informing her whereabouts.

Pacing around the room, I dialled her number, whilst my heart started to accelerate unnecessarily quickly.

But I felt a wave of disappointment and anxiety gush through me as her number came up busy - she's already on a call? Who's she talking to?

Was she in trouble? Or was she trying to contact me??

Was she ok?

Throwing caution to the wind, I rushed out of the bedroom, and taking the room key, I rushed out of the room, even forgetting my footwear.

But, my heart came back to its normal place the moment I opened our room door - standing a little away from the door and facing me was none other than my angel - looking a little flustered, but safe nonetheless.

"Where were you? I was worried!" I closed the distance between us in a couple of steps, taking her into a tight hug.

"I was worried babe!!" I whispered, hugging her still more tightly and burying my head at the base of her neck and breathing in her sweet smelling perfume and the fragrance of her shampoo.

"I... Was... Here... Got a call... From home...tha... that's all... Didn't wanna...di...disturb you..." She stuttered, putting her arms around me.

"Hmm ok but don't ever leave me please" I sighed, still not letting go off of her.

"Okay.. but can we get back into the room please? It's weird to just stand out here in the hallway.." she gave a dry chuckle.

*******

Once we'd freshened up a little, we left the room again - to explore the resort and to enjoy the rest of the day relaxing by the poolside, or with a nice massage.

I looked over at Sahana, who was dressed in a pair of shorts and a cute pink coloured shirt, looking adorable and much more relaxed than she'd been all day!

"Hey.." I tugged at her hand, making her crash against my chest.

"Arush!!" She gasped, her eyes going wide in horror as she looked around the desserted hallway, looking for onlookers that weren't even there!

But without giving her even a second's freedom, I placed my lips on her's, wordlessly trying to convey to her how lucky and happy I felt at the moment, and how much I loved her.

Though she didn't respond at first, but gradually she snaked her arms around my neck, smiling inbetween the kiss.

All was well, of course, till..

"What the..." A man's voice made Sahana jump a mile away from me!

Feeling grumpy, irritable and murderous, I looked up to find who the fucker was who spoilt my romantic moment with Sahana.

Two people stood at a distance, looking at us - a couple. The dude glared at me whilst the woman just sighed and shook her head, massaging her forehead. The dude was old and looked grumpy as fuck, whilst the woman looked rather irritable and sorry, though she too looked as old as him, maybe a couple of years younger?!

"This is a public place!" The dude who looked like he was in his mid 50s yelled.

"But it wasn't your lips!" I hissed, my answer taking me myself by surprise, and earning a gasp from Sahana.

"How dare you..." The man trailed off, glaring murder at me.

"Uffo kya aap bhi? Bachche hain... Looks like they're on their honeymoon... Let them be!" The woman with him, who looked like she was his wife, cajoled, tugging at his arm.

"But it's a public place!!" The old man hissed, glaring daggers at me.

"So?! Did you forget how you behaved on our honeymoon?? How you..." The woman trailed off, smirking at her husband, whose whole face had turned scarlet.

"Ab chalo bhagyawan..." He trailed off, tugging at his wife's arm and moving ahead.

The woman smiled at us, but followed her husband, around the corner and out of sight.

"That was..." Sahana trailed off, making me turn to look at her.

"That will be us... In another 30 years" I grinned at her, tugging her to me and kissing her cheek.

"Sahi bole... You'll be an asshole even after 30 years" Sahana nodded, linking her arm to mine, and leading the way to the reception downstairs.

*****************

Twenty minutes later, as the receptionist told us about the different facilities offered in the resort, I skimmed through the brochure, frowning to myself - there was swimming, massage, rain dance, Jacuzzi, steam bath, a full spa and an entertainment center.

I shot a glance towards Sahana, who too was skimming-through a brochure, with her eyes lighting up at the rain dance... and then pausing at the jacuzzi.

"You wanna try the jacuzzi?" I asked, smiling at how her eyes lit up at the idea.

"There's an option for a private jacuzzi... if you want to try it..." the receptionist added, to which Sahana grinned broadly.

So, once finalizing our booking for a private jacuzzi at 8 o clock, Sahana and I made our way towards the rain-dance room, since she wanted to try it.

Loud beats and music was audible even before we'd reached the place as we walked along the length of the hallway leading to the rain-dance room, along with loud squeals  of excited people enjoying their time at the place.

"C'mon Arush!!" Sahana squealed in excitement as she tugged at my hand and dragged me to the place, jumping in excitement.

The noise and the thought of all the wet slick people grinding and dancing to the loud senseless music made me halter a few steps outside the place. But Sahana's gleaming face and her warm hands on mine tugged me inside the place... a crowded wet mess!!

Water everywhere... water on the ground, water falling from above... water falling from the sides...effing loud music...

"Dyaaammmnnnn" Sahana squealed as she pushed her way into the throbbing crowd, dragging me behind her.

"Wooohoo!!!!" she squealed loudly along with the mad crowd around us, dancing to the music.

"C'mon Arush!!!" she giggled, putting her arms around me and swaying on the spot. A smile made its way to my lips at how carefree and happy my girl looked, and forgetting pretty much everything else, I danced along to the music, letting my hips sway in sync with the loud beats.

The dim lights and the loud music pushed all the thoughts out of my mind as I put my arms around Sahana and pulled her closer to myself, nuzzling the crook of her neck and swaying to the music.

The music kept on changing - from Hindi, to English, to Marathi, and even a couple of Tamil and Bhojpuri songs, all remixed to quick beats, and all way too loud. But none of them mattered, since I was soaking wet to the depth of my skin, and the dim flashy lights putting me in the mood of a nice disco.

"I love you.." Sahana's voice was all I heard as she slowly placed her lips on mine, and the two of us continued to dance, lost to one another, quite oblivious to the world around us.

I had just deepened the kiss when..

"That's enough... stop! " Sahana pulled away, almost yelling in my ear as she removed my arms from around her. Even before I could grasp what was going on, she had moved away from me, and was walking away, making her way out through the thick crowd of people surrounding us, who were dancing to the loud music, quite oblivious to us.
