Swara's pov:

"What does he want now?", Sanskar snapped at the servant who is standing in our room door. The servant's face turned pale seeing his coldness.

This arrogant dragon! What does he think of himself? How could he talk to someone like this?

"Um.. Ji! He.. He asked you both to come down to meet the village people."

He stammered, while his legs are literally trembling.

"We are not coming. Tell him that", He told annoyedly.

I clutched my fist and walked to the door.

"Bhai, tell him we will be there in five minutes. Thank you.", I told him politely with a smile. He gave me a nervous nod and left from there quickly. Sanskar turned to look at me while I glared at him.

He was about to tell something but I showed my palm stopping him.

"Sanskar, if you don't want to come then it's okay. I am going, you be here and live your workaholic life hugging your laptop."

I said in stern tone, trying to use his cold voice. His eyes blazed fire, his jaws clenched. Wow, is it working?

"What did you say?", He asked raising his eyebrow.

"Better you should consult a doctor for your ears. Your hearing power is very low these days.", I said sarcastically making his eyes open bit wide.

"Don't be stupid. You are not going anywhere.", He told and walked to the bed where his big dabba aka the laptop and the small dabba aka the phone are waiting for his attention.

"Who are you to say that I can't go? It's my own choice. I am going, bye!", I shouted and quickly ran out of the room. I giggled after coming out. I know he will be on his toes after me. Aww, my cute sweet dragon! He can't be without me.

I walked on the granite tiles of the corridor hugging my torso with my arms. Here, the climate is cool and chilly. I should wear some thick clothes.

We both reached the village before three hours. Everyone was waiting for us and worried a bit concerning our late arrival. I don't know if they truly are worried except my own family i.e. Mom, Dad, Karan Bhai and Kritika, I cared less about others. We explained how our car got punctured and we took the bus ride here. All were surprised hearing that.

Ofcourse, they would! The great SM in Bus?!!

I giggled thinking how he was tensed during the whole bus ride. Like he was in some enemy's place and he should be ready if anyone come to attack us. But I enjoyed the whole ride happily.

We got network in the mobile on reaching near the village. He instantly called Aman and asked him to get the car for us. It was just ten more minutes to reach the centre of village where the bus will leave us but Aman came and stopped our bus in the middle like he ordered, creating a scene! Everyone in the bus and outside the bus was looking us like some kind of alien while we shifted from the bus to the car. Gosh!!! SM and his ways!

After that, we reached the home in ten minutes of car ride. Is the home beautiful? Nah! It was beyond beautiful and breathtaking.

It is not a Mansion but a big old traditional house in the village. The house is fully built with teak wood and is in the centre of the valley and grass with trees and plants surrounding it. I was jaw dropped seeing it's beauty.

After explaining ourselves, we reached the room alloted for us while servants brought our bags. Sanskar was in his irritated cold mode because of the bus ride. So, as soon as we came to the room he went inside the washroom to fresh up himself. He got changed and sat on the bed taking his two dabbas going into his business mode.

While I neatly placed our things in the cupboard there and freshed up myself. Everyone has went to take rest after breakfast, so I couldn't disturb anyone. I went to the small balcony attached to our room and sat on the wooden reclining chair, taking a book which I have brought with myself.

"Swara, where is Sanskar?", I looked at my Sasu Mom who is standing on the entrance to living hall.

"Sasu Mom, he will come in few minutes as he is busy in a call.", I said, standing few feets away infront of her.

"I told you not to call me Sasu Mom.", She said strictly. I grinned sheepishly.

"Then what should I call you? Aunty? Mother in law? Pyaari Saas? Or Mom? Mother?", I asked her making innocent face. She narrowed her eyes.

"You are not calling any of that.", She said crossing her arms.

"Uff! Sasu Mom, then I have an amazing idea.", I said excitedly, clapping my hand once. She raised her eyebrow.

"What?", She asked curiously.

"How about Sujata? It is your name only na! By that, we can hit two mangoes in one stone. I will get a name to call you and also you will not look aged when I call you that. And moreover, I heard that it will be awesome if Saas and Bahu behaved like friends. What do you say Sujata? If you want, I can call you Suju too? Nice na?"

I asked her, with my twinkling eyes while beating my eyelashes to give dramatic effect. Her eyes widened like saucers which made me dance (ofcourse) in my mind. Haha! And then she fumed in rage.

"How dare you call me by my name?", She exclaimed in anger which made me giggle. Uh-oh! Bad reaction! She took a threatening step infront of me.

"You think I will let you call me by name? Mind your mouth and learn how to respect your elders.", She told, glaring me. I nodded my head up and down vigorously.

"Ofcourse, Sasu Mom. I agree that you don't like mangoes, Me too hate them! I've never ever in my dreams thought that you will let me call you by name. Oh god, how would I even think like that? Nope! Bad! Very bad! So only, I am calling you Sasu Mom with full respect.", I said making sincere face. She stared at me, still the anger is sitting on her nose.

"Stop your drama. And go away. I don't like seeing your face", she said annoyedly. I nodded my head with a smile.

She then turned to go but I called her, thinking to tease her more.

"By the way Sasu Mom, your saree is looking very pretty.", I said with a small grin. She turned with lit up eyes, but gave a curt nod making strict face.

Oh God, save me!

"But you are not pretty in it, Sasu Mom", I said casually. I saw her face turning red with anger.

"Youuu---", She started in anger. I quickly jumped back.

"Oh My Pyaari Suju Sasu Mom! I said it for fun. You are the prettiest among all the other ladies out there.", I exclaimed making her stop advancing in her steps. She frowned. She blinked her eyes while I waited for what she is going to say. It's true that Sujata Maheshwari is really a beautiful lady. My handsome Hubby's Mom right? Ofcourse, she would be pretty.

But before that, my husband ruined the cute moment of Saas-Bahu!

"What is happening here?", He asked coming behind me. I turned to look at him. I was so enjoying but he destroyed it. Idiot!

"Nothing, Sanskar. We are just talking.", I said smiling. He looked back at my Sasu Mom and then at me.

"Both of you come. All are waiting for you.", She said and left to the entrance of home.

I walked back of her without any words to Sanskar. My thought is right. He came. Haha!

As reaching outside, my mouth opened in shock seeing the front yard of the house. There standing like hundred number of village people. I think the whole village is standing there. I saw the family members (except Pari Bhabhi family, Karan Bhai, Kritika, Gadodias') are standing in the Porch facing the people, Dadi and Dp uncle are sitting on two head chairs. Huh? What is happening here?

The village people are standing obediently like giving respect to us but they all are admiring us like we are some showpiece. I felt uncomfortable with all of their attention. I looked at other family members who are looking straight and confident with no unease, I saw that Ragini is enjoying their attention. Evil witch!

Is this the reason Sanskar told me not to go? It's true that I always feel nervous and uncomfortable being in the centre of attention.

I felt a hand holding mine in a firm grip. My heart fluttered instantly while I felt much better. I turned and saw Him standing beside me, his cold gaze is fixed on the people before us. He is looking with his analysing gaze, no one can find an emotion in his eyes but the coldness and power. I would have really thought him as an ruthless person had I not known him personally.

I feel pleasure thinking that he has shown his personal and caring nature to me. I wrapped my fingers around his hand, slightly moving towards him.

After sometime, I came to know that Maheswari family is the head of village and even taking care of the village with necessary things from many generations as Dp uncle asked a person - who is acting as village head on their appointment - about the village and their welfare. I doubt whether they are doing it for the wellness of people or to show their power, status and rich attitude.

Dp uncle introduced Ragini and Me as daughter-in-laws of the Maheswari family. Everyone cheered for us, praised us and elders blessed us with their words. I felt this unknown feeling in my heart seeing these many people looking happy to see me, to know me, most importantly accepting me at an instant. But still I felt bit nervous with their attention.

After that, He announced about our stay and the special pooja in temple. He invited everyone to attend and bless the new couples.

.

I walked infront of Sanskar who is following me, thinking to go and see Karan Bhai or Kritika because I can't go in that room where he will not talk to me but work in his dabba.

Suddenly someone jumped infront of me startling me.

"Aahhh!!", I got scared and staggered back, clashing with my Hubby's hard toned chest. His arms wrapped around me instantly to hold me.

"What the hell, Karan?", Sanskar shouted at Karan Bhai who is the one jumped before me from the room beside me on the way.

I opened my eyes to see Karan Bhai standing before me with a pout. Kritika came back of him.

"Sorry doll. I thought to surprise you not to scare you.", He said in apologetic tone.

"It's ok, Bhai. I am fine.", I smiled little and moved out of Sanskar's arms, standing beside him. He gave me a look and kept silent.

Hearing me, Karan Bhai nodded and then smiled excitedly.

"You know what! I was actually coming to call you both to go out. We thought to roam around the village. Shall we?", He asked making me grin wide.

"Oh Yes! You are really awesome, Bhai. We will go.", I said delightfully.

"We are not going.", Sanskar said from behind me.

Urghh! I just feel like to strangle him.

"Oh Angry bird, why are you always being a pain in the a- I mean neck?", He said annoyedly. Kritika chuckled while I also giggled. Sanskar gave him a murderous look.

Karan bhai smiled sheepishly.

"If you don't want to come, then be here and work hugging your dabba!", Karan Bhai said making faces. I widened my eyes hearing him. Oh god, he think the same as me.

"Exactly Bhai! I was thinking that only.", I stretched out my hand while he gave me a hi-fi. We both laughed seeing Sanskar's grumpy look.

"Come doll, Let's go!", He held my hand while I nodded excitedly. He pulled me with Kritika on his other side, I turned to go but stopped feeling a grip on my other wrist.

I turned including Bhai and Kritika. Sanskar stared at me.

"I am also coming.", He said bit coldly.

"Ok Angry bird. You can come with us, we have big heart to forgive you.", Karan bhai told and let go of my hand. Sanskar gave him a glare while I quickly hide my smile feeling happy inside that he also coming with us. Moreover, I don't want to be a third wheel between Bhai and Kritika.

First we went to our room to get our jackets and then went out.

"Angry bird! No need of car. We will go by walking.", Bhai called us, when Sanskar was about to walk towards the parking garage.

"Yes! C'mon Sanskar. It will be awesome.", I said tugging his arm, walking to Bhai and Kritika who are standing at distance.
.
.
.

The Village is a serene beauty. We walked along the roads enjoying the sight welcomed us. Like I saw before, the surrounding is greenery, sky is full of clouds and foggy. Though it is afternoon, I could not see the sun here.

Village people who saw us greeted us and even asked us to come inside their homes. We rejected their offer politely.

Karan bhai told some of their childhood stories which he remembered when they came to village years back.

Mithra Mom's Dad and Sanskar's grandfather are brothers. So basically, it is her own native too. So they all always came here for holidays and on special occasions. I and Kritika enjoyed hearing their stories and childhood experiences. He said how they would play on the fields, ride bicycles and pluck fruits from the trees inside the forest there.

I laughed hard when he told that he and Sanskar have got caught red-handed when they were plucking raw mangoes from an old man's garden secretly. They were eight years old at that time. Though the man was old and had pot belly, he gave them a tough competition by chasing them with a long belt. Even Sanskar chuckled and told how he got escaped but Karan bhai got caught in his hands. After realising that they were from the head family, he apologized and left him free. He even allowed them to take mangoes.

Karan Bhai teased Sanskar saying how he was afraid of water when they went to bath in river for the first time. I was amused hearing that. Sanskar and Afraid? Wow!

Sanskar smacked on bhai's head as he teased him. Kritika and I laughed seeing their banter.

Bhai then told that how Sanskar was angry because he enjoyed in the water along with other family members leaving him alone on the land. After that, he hadn't talked to him for the whole day. He told how hard he tried to convince him to talk to him. Then he had gifted his favourite car toy to Sanskar to make him talk to him. Aww! That was really cute and lovely.

It was all when they were young. Sanskar has stopped coming to the village when he was sent to the boarding school for his studies. My heart breaks thinking of young Sanskar alone in the boarding school. That must have made him cold, introvert and emotionless.

His family had done injustice with the small boy by not teaching him about love and care. This is the reason he always behave cold with everyone except for me and Karan bhai's family. I am glad that atleast he had Karan bhai with him as his best friend, pillar and the well wisher.

I wonder if he'll ever come to know how beautiful the feeling of love is. I feel pain thinking he has no belief in love. Everyone in this world deserve love. Though no one in my so called family loved me, atleast I had my father who taught me love. Even my mother loved me before his death. But he? He has no one to teach him about love and the world out there. He has suffered alone. He made himself beleive that kind of emotion never exists and is fully fake. He believed what he saw! What his family has shown him!

He has created walls around his heart and worked for money. He didn't got this much money and the business empire by his family but by his own hardwork. He has already told me how he worked on companies and earned his own salary when he was studying itself. After saving some lump-sum amount, he started his own business. He then left his family and lived alone in his new home, his own penthouse! He created an identity for himself. The SM! Everyone is in awe seeing his power, skill and development. He made everyone look up to him.

I felt the feeling of proudness overwhelming my heart.

"What happened to you, Shona?", He asked tightening his grip on my hand. I must have zoned out, I came to my sense and saw Karan Bhai and Kritika are walking ahead of us laughing with eachother.

"Nothing. Come, Let's go.", I said walking forward. I tried hard to behave normal but my heart pained for him. I couldn't imagine what all he has gone through alone these many years.

"Do your legs paining?", He asked stopping me. I took a breath and looked at him.

"No Sanskar. I am perfectly fine.", I said and again walked forward holding his hand, looking infront. I saw Karan Bhai and Kritika are talking to a person on the way.

As we reached near them, Kritika came to me excitedly.

"Shona, there is one amazing waterfall here. We can go there. What do you say?", She asked me. I smiled excitedly. She returned my smile and turned to Karan bhai.

"It is at some distance. We have to walk for fifteen minutes. Is that okay, doll?", He asked caringly.

"It's ok, bhai. We will go.", I said. He nodded and walked forward with his girl. There seems to be a lot development between them. They were already friends and have dealt with business and all. So they easily got patched up! I am happy for them.

My eyes twinkled as we entered a road which is full of different kinds of petty shops on either sides. It's looking colorful with bubbles floating in the air. Wow!!!

The road is bit crowdy with people but not much rush. Children are running here and there blowing the bubbles making the place lively.

"Oh god!", I whispered excitedly.

"Sanskar, I want the bubbles!", I exclaimed, clutching his elbow. He was talking in his dabba but he looked at me.

"What?", He asked cutting the call.

"I want the bubbles, c'mon.", I told him, pulling his arm. He gave me an amused look, furrowing his eyebrows. He looked up at the children and then at me.

"You want bubbles bottle?", He asked to confirm if it is I am asking. I nodded my head vigorously.

"Yes, Yes. I want that only. Come now, Sanskar.", I ended annoyedly.

"Jaan, what are you? A Twelve years old?", He asked me amused. I gave him a look.

"Who said 'A Twelve years old' can only blow bubbles? I can too. For the last time I am asking, Are you coming or not?", I asked glaring at him. I witnessed the edge of his lips twitching to a smile. He stared at me for seconds and then nodded his head.

I grinned and dragged him to the shop. I bought a bottle for myself. Sanskar took out his wallet to take money while we heard an exclaiming sound.

"Oh my god! Bubbles??? Even I want one. Sanskar, bought one for me too!", Karan bhai asked Sanskar coming near us. Kritika chuckled at him while Sanskar made a disgusting face.

"Karan, you are not a child.", He said annoyed. Karan bhai pouted.

"Angry bird, I am your best friend. I have done so many things to you but you are not even buying me a simple bubble bottle? Really? It breaks my heart. It is paining here, you know! Oh god, my friend has no love for me. He doesn't care about my wants. Why are you still keeping me alive?", He whined, holding his heart looking upwards. I bursted out laughing along with Kritika who joined me. Sanskar gave him 'what the hell' look.

These two are just! Uff!

"Karan, stop your drama.", Sanskar said like any other time he would say. He then turned to the shopkeeper and asked him to give another one. Karan bhai screamed in happiness and hugged Sanskar sideways.

Sanskar pushed him aside. People nearby us stared at us. I giggled at my crazy and dramatic bhai.

"Kritika, do you want anything here?", Sanskar asked her, turning to look at her. She was startled for a second but then shook her head with a smile.

"No, Thanks for asking, Mr. Maheshwari. You know I am not a child.", She said chuckling. Sanskar smiled little.

"You should stop calling him Mr. Maheshwari.", I complained.

"Yeah, this is not office. If you want, you can call me by name.", Sanskar offered. What happened to him? He is really being polite today. May be, it is because she is Kritika his junior, business partner and most importantly she is going to be his bestfriend's wife.

Suddenly I got an idea.

"Kriti, Call him Bhai.", I said grinning. Trio looked at me. Karan bhai smiled agreeing with me. Sanskar looked bit uncomfortable. What happened to him?

Kritika smiled little, "If he is okay, I will."

We trio looked at Sanskar. I gave him puppy eyes silently pleading him. I can understand, no one has called him like that before. He has no sister! But thinking about it, it will be really awesome. Like I and Karan bhai, Sanskar and Kritika can also build a bond of bro-Sis. He will get to have one more relation.

"Um.. okay.", He said making us smile. Kritika nodded with a huge smile.

"Ok.. Bhai..", She tried saying it. I felt Sanskar finding my hand and holding it. I glanced at him but he is looking at Kritika. Is he nervous? I squeezed his hand assuring him looking at his lost face softly.

I will make sure he is not alone till my breath ends. I will show him this beautiful feeling of love.

After that, we walked exploring other shops there. I and Karan Bhai blew the bubbles with wands on the way. Sanskar got annoyed when bhai blew bubbles on his face. We laughed and teased him more intentionally blowing the bubbles on his side. He warned us many times but we totally ignored.

Kritika bought herself a handloom bag and also one for me. I bought woolen sweat shirts for him, bhai and also for Kritika. Kritika then dragged me to the girls shop.

She tried different earrings while I looked something for myself. Everything is traditional and beautiful here.

I felt him standing behind me as Bhai went to his girl. His warmth is engulfing me, making me feel warm in cool atmosphere. I took the red colour glass bangles and shake it little to hear the sound.

"Sanskar, I want this.", I said turning to him. He gazed at the bangles with a frown and shook his head negatively.

"No Jaan. It is made of glass, it may hurt you.", He said in his soft tone, making my heart flutter.

"Please Sanskar!", I pouted my lips to make him agree. His eyes went to my lips making my breath stop for a second. He quickly gazed back at my eyes.

"No way.", He said. I huffed.

"What happened, doll?", Karan bhai asked me. I showed him the bangles.

"I will buy for you.", He said making me grin.

"Karan, it may hurt her. If she want diamond bangles, I can buy for her. But not this!", Sanskar protested. I made faces hearing him. Who want his diamond bangles? Huh!!!

"Sanskar, you are right. But let her have what she likes. You know well she would never want diamond bangles.", He said in a matter of fact tone. Sanskar sighed.

"I promise I won't let it hurt me. Please", I said. He nodded slightly, not fully agreed with it but I bought it anyway. Karan bhai paid for it. He then paid for the earrings bought by Kritika.

We then moved forward to other shops and bought some handicraft things too. I and Kritika wanted to eat Chaat masala so we stopped at a shop. I definitely know he won't like it. We trio ate while Sanskar stood watching us.

I then bought Spicy corn for him, he ate it without protest as Karan Bhai told me that he always liked it when he was young. I admired him lovingly while he ate. He is really cute. Suddenly a question arised in me. If he is cute or hot? I thought about it carefully. I couldn't find one answer cause he is cute, hot, handsome and male beauty. Aww!

Then Karan bhai and Kritika went to buy ice-cream for us while we both waited for them.

I couldn't help but felt like to eat on seeing the cotton candy. I turned to Sanskar who is already looking at me.

"You want Cotton candy.", He stated. I smiled sheepishly. He smiled bit and went to buy it. I grinned happily. This day is one of the best days in my life!!!

I staggered bit as someone clashed with me from behind. I turned and saw a man.

"I am sorry.", He said quickly.

"It's okay.", I said nodding my head.

"If I clash with you again, do I have to say one more Sorry?", He asked, staring at me. I felt uncomfortable and taken off by his words. He smirked dirtily. Ew!

"Mind your business, Mr.", I said sternly. But he didn't seem to be understand my words as he continued staring me. I took a step back glaring at him.

"If you don't take your eyes off her, I would like pluck that out for you", I heard his cold tone from behind me. He came and stood infront of me, glaring at the man dangerously. The person seems to be scared seeing Sanskar. He quickly nodded and rushed away.

Sanskar turned to me, "What did he do?"

"Nothing Sanskar. I am fine.", I said assuring him. He muttered curses as I saw his jaws clenching in anger. Angry SM is not an easy one to deal with! I gulped hoping he won't get too much angry because it makes me somewhere afraid to face it.

"Here, take this.", He said stretching out the Cotton candy rolled around a stick prettily. I smiled instantly and took it in my hand.

He then wrapped his hand around my shoulder and walked me forward. I walked with him eating my candy. We both reached Bhai and Kritika who bought ice-creams. Awesome!
.
.
.

Oh my holy mother of nature!

I can't take my eyes off of the ethereal beauty of the waterfalls flowing from a mountain which is really high like reaching the sky. The water flowing from the mountain and rock are gathered as a big pond below there. The scene is breathtaking!!!

The place is surrounded by trees like a forest. There are no one except the four of us which is making me more excited.

"Karan, it is... Amazinggg. Thank you for bringing me here, to this village. I have never been to places like this before.", Kritika said out with a dumbfounded look.

"I am going inside.", She screamed and ran to the falls side after dropping all the things in her hands.

"Hey Kritika! Careful on the rocks", Karan Bhai shouted and went back of her placing the bag which he has held on his hand.

"I am also going.", I grinned excitedly. Sanskar held my wrist stopping me when I was about to move.

"Jaan, the water might be very cold.", He protested.

"Sanskar, why are you always protesting? I will be fine and I know swimming too, so don't worry.", I said twitching my nose and removed his hand from mine.

I was about to move but stopped.

"Are you coming?", I asked turning to him. He stared at me and then shook his head.

"Why? Are you still afraid of water?", I asked smirking. He raised his eyebrow.

"It's ok, I can understand, my poor baby! You be here and watch us enjoying ok", I said teasingly. He glared at me and took a threatening step towards me.

I widened my eyes and quickly ran towards the falls where already Kritika and Karan Bhai are drenching in while screaming their lungs out of the chillness.

Excitement bubbled inside me making the adrenaline rush in my blood. I started walking on the rocks carefully as I don't want to fall in the pond.

I stopped in my steps hearing a thud sound. I turned to see what is it. My eyes literally came out in shock seeing the scene. I quickly turned and saw Sanskar is missing. Uffo! It is my husband who has jumped inside the water.

I got afraid seeing him not coming out to the surface. What happened to him? My heart skipped a beat in fear.

"Bhaiii.. Sanskar has jumped inside the pond", I shouted loudly. He said he is afraid of water then why on the world he jumped inside? What does he want to prove? I got angry and worried for him.

Without thinking another second, I dived inside the big pond.

"Doll/Shona, stop!", I heard Karan Bhai and Kritika's distant sound as I fell into the water with a thud.

The water instantly drowned me, making my body go numb with the chillness. Oh Mummy! the water is so.. so cold!

I held my breath and swimmed inside trying to find him. I couldn't find him under the water for few minutes. God! Please, nothing should happen to him. I will die without him. Please save him! He is my everything, please! please! please! I prayed frantically.

Suddenly, I felt a hand on my belly, circling me from behind and pulling me upwards. An electric shiver ran inside me! I knew well whose touch is this. My heart thudded inside while I turned myself in his arms and looked at him. I can only see the blur vision of him inside the water as he swimmed up holding me. Sanskar!

I gasped for air wrapping my hands around his neck when we both came out in the air. His arms are around me holding me close to him. I felt his hand rubbing off my wet hair strands from my face and tugging it behind my ear.

I opened my eyes to see him staring at me. His short hair strands are hanging on his forehead while his t-shirt is sticking to his chest making him look like a greek god. I stared at him for a second taking in his beauty while lost in his magical eyes which held a soft gaze.

"Shonaa.. Bhaii.. Are you both fine?"

I came to sense hearing Kritika's shout. I and Sanskar turned to their side similarly. They are standing on the edge of falls near the pond having worried expression.

"Yes, we are fine. Carry on!", Sanskar said. I saw them both relaxing and then they returned inside the falls.

I turned to Sanskar and hugged him instantly clutching his t-shirt at the back. I inhaled his cologne slowly and felt relieved, warm and secured. He is fine. He is with me. He is okay!

"Why did you jump inside the water when you are afraid of it, Sanskar? What did you want to prove haan? I lost my breath for a minute. Please don't do this again", I scolded him while my voice broke in the end. He hugged me to him tightly.

"Jaan, I am fine.", He whispered into my ear, I shivered a bit feeling his lips touching my ear producing heat on that area.

I broke the hug but didn't unwrap my arms from him. We are still inside the water, he is holding me.

His thumb wiped under my right eye making me realise a tear has fallen out.

"I was afraid when I was child. I have learnt swimming in my school and I am a champion too. So, no need to worry", He said softly, like explaining to a child.

I nodded my head slowly. He cupped my cheek, gazing at me softly. I stared at him back feeling happy inside to be near him this much close. I feel like to be in his arms forever!

My heart took up it's speed when I saw his gaze travelling to my lips. My breath quickened as his hand went to my nape and he pulled my face closer to him. He came near me making me close my eyes.

My body is fully drenched and numb with the cold water but his arms around me are making me feel warm. I felt his lips almost touching mine making me shiver and fisting his t-shirt. Hundreds of feelings are emerging in my heart on this second!

"Aahh!"

We both jerked back hearing the sound. I opened my eyes and turned to look at where the sound is coming. Kritika is sitting on a rock near the falls holding her foot, Karan bhai rushed out from the falls seeing her.

"What happened to you?", He asked worriedly, sitting beside her.

"Karan, I am fine. Just a small stone pricked my foot", I heard her telling him when Bhai took her foot in his hand examining it.

"Come, let's go.", I heard Sanskar saying. I nodded my head. He let me go from his arms but held my hand.

We both swimmed towards the falls. He helped me to climb on the rock beside Kritika and then he climbed out.

"Are you okay, Kriti?", I asked her concernedly. She gave me a smile.

"Shona, I am fine.", She told assuringly. I nodded my head.

"Thank god! It doesn't bleed", Karan bhai said while Kritika looked at him softly. I smiled seeing them.

After that we four drenched in the falls for half an hour. Like he told, the water is very cold and the flow of water is also fast. I felt like small rocks are falling on me from the sky. Whatever! But I totally had enjoyed bathing here.

We then came out of the falls shivering in cold except Him who is looking fine, How?

I hugged myself tightly and carefully walked on the rocks which is leading us to the land. Sanskar is coming behind me with his hand on my back incase to hold me if I fall. I couldn't even smile because my teeth are chattering without stopping in cold.

"For this, I have told not to go. See, how you are shivering", I heard his scolding voice from behind me.

As we reached to the land, I saw Sanskar taking his jacket from the ground. I am really a stupid because I have drenched along with my jacket.

"Take yours off and wear this.", He told stretching out his jacket. I took it in my hand while he helped me to remove my jacket. I wore his jacket and felt little better.

I giggled seeing Kritika and Karan Bhai are wearing the sweatshirts which we bought in the village shop. Sanskar called Aman and ordered him to bring the car near the forest side. The cool breeze is making me shiver more!

I wondered how he is not shivering in the cold? Is it because of his own coldness? But how then, I always feel warm when he is near me? God, this is so confusing! I pouted.

After cutting the call, he turned to me.

"Come here.", He told, making my heart skip a beat. He is standing at a distance in all his glory with his wet hair and the t-shirt sticking to him like his second skin. I can easily see his built-in muscles. Hot dragon!

Without asking anything I slowly walked to him while staring him without blinking. He is also staring at me as I walked upto him. I felt shy with his intense gaze.

He stretched out his hand for me to take when I went near him. I held his hand while he pulled me to him. My eyes bulged little as I clashed with his torso in a jerk.

He hugged me and rubbed my arm and back with his hands. Though his action made me warm, it also made the electric chills ran down my body. I felt the butterflies tickling inside my stomach while goosebumps arose on my skin with his touch. What is he doing to me?

I snuggled close to him seeking his warmth and smiled widely. Being in his arms, make me feel home!

"Aww! You both are too cute", I heard Kritika's aweing tone and then heard a picture clicking sound.

I turned my gaze aside to see her without breaking the hug. I saw her standing with her phone camera facing us. She winked at me while I felt my cheeks heating up with blush. I saw Karan Bhai chuckling beside her. Oh god! They are not going to let me live this.!!!
