Saturday..They left early morning by car to the place decided by them. They reached by 7.30..AM….They both met Rahul's frnd & his wife. He gave dem a really sp. cottage at the far end of the beach.

 

In the room….As it was kind of early..& tired..they decided 2 sleep for sumtime. They got up after 2 hrs for sum break-fast. They were sitting on the table near the water with Rahul's frnd n his wife. ..where der was a small caf..far away frm their cottage, when they heard a few shoutings.

 

"Koi yaahan pe doctor hai..ap kisi ko bulaye naa..??"  Rahul & Muskaan luked at each other in a shock. They went 2 the place frm where the sound was coming. A small girl who luked nt more than 10 lay fainted..totally drenched.

 

Rahul's frnd:-  "Kya hua?" 

 

The man explained 2 dem that her name was Pia..his daughter who was jus playing in the water wen she started drowning..nd fainted due 2 the pressure..and she also has water-phobia.  Rahul & Muskaan tried their best 2 do wt they cudd..Rahul explained 2 them that physically she was ok..but mentally in a shock. They took her 2 her cottage where she was staying wid her elder sister Payal.  Evening passed until she was feeling better.

Muskaan had left earlier..but Rahul was there till a very long time..

 

At night Rahul came inside totally tired. He jus came n lay on the bed..

 

M:-"Rahul ab tumhe kya hua?" She asked concerned.

 

R:- "Sar main bahut dard ho raha hai.." He took her hand &  kept it on his fore-head. She started pressing it.

 

M:- "Kaise hai ab woh?"

 

R:- "Ya..shes fine."

 

M:- "Is chakkar main ek pura din waste ho gaya na?" 

 

But Rahul had already slept off. Muskaan understood his condition. But was really very upset. She decided 2 go fr a walk on the beach. Maybe that wud cheer her up. She wore her shoes went out & started walking…After walking fr a few mins..she sat down..Jus having random thoughts in her mind. When Payal came & sat nxt 2 her. Payal who was the elder sister of Pia..

 

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

 

 P:- "Hi. Main yaahan baithun..?"

 

M:- "Oh! Hi.." Muskaan was in thoughts..So jus got up of sudden. "Tum yaahan kya kar rahe ho? Itni raat ko?

 

P:- "Haan. Baas..mujhe neend nahin aa rahe thi..Aur aap?"

 

M:- "Mujhe bhi.." 

 

Both were silent fr a few mins..luking at the waves.

 

P:- "Apki abhi-abhi shaadi huye hai?"

 

M:- "Haan."

 

P:-" Aur aap yaahan apne honey-moon pe aye hai?"

 

M:- "Not really..par tumhe kaise pata?"

 

P:- "Woh..apke haath me dulhaan ke mehendi lagi huye..is liye guess kiya.." She said taking her hands.

 

M:- "Haan..bas..ek hafta (week) hi huya hai.."

 

P:- "Im sorry..aap humare wajah se bahut upset hai na"?

 

M:- "Arre..nahin..tum aisa kyun soch rahe ho?"

 

P:- "Sab Pia ki wajah se huya hai..Maine usse mana kiya tha ke paani ke paas mat ja..par mere to koi sunta hi nahin hai.."

 

Muskaan started laughing.."Pata hai..mera bhi ek chota bhai hai..kabhi mere baat nahin sunta hai.."

 

P:- "Ye chote hote hi aise hain.." Then both of them laughed. "To apki love-marrige hai? Mera matlab..im sorry..main aapse kaise puch sakte hun.." she became embarrassed.

 

M:- "Arre..Chado..Haan..Love hi samjho.."

 

P:- "How romantic.."  Listening 2 her..Muskaan started laughing..even Payal smiled a lil.

 

M:- "Waise tum kya karti ho?"

 

P:- "Abhi to 12^th ka board khatam kiya hai..results ka wait kar rahe hun.Vacations hai to family ke saath yahan aa gaye...Main bhi doctor bana chahti hun.."

 

M:- "Doctor? Bahut mehnat karne padegi.."

 

P:- "Pata hai..waise..apne kabhi sand castle banaya hai?" she said jus putting the mud 2gther.

 

M:- "Nahin..tumhe aata hai?"

 

P:- "Haan..bachpan se"

 

Both of them den started working towards it..they completely enjoyed each others company..After abt an hr.

 

M:- "Payal..abhi hume jaana chaiye..kafi der ho gaye hai..Chalo main tumhe chod dete hun..itni raat ko akele mat jao"

 

P:- "Nahin main.."

 

M:- "Chalo.."

 

Muskaan droped her 2 her cottage..nd was walking towards her own. while she was walking she thought abt Payal..She was sucha nice girl..exactly like how she was during her age..Suddenly she felt happiness surrounding her..She didn't knw why.. She entered her room..She didn't feel like changing….so jus dusted her jeans & the top...removed her shoes…nd went 2 bed..she sat down n luked at Rahul..He was still in d same position..didnt move an inch..Must be really tired she thought.

 

She lay on the bed..jus luking at Rahul..She moved closer 2 him & put was abt 2 her hands around him, when she stopped..nd thought..she again lifted her hand..she touched him..dats wen Rahul moved a lil..she again took it bak…Then she finally put hr hands around him & moved closer..hugged him tightly..nd never wanted 2 leave him ever again. Closing her eyes with wonderful thoughts..she drifed off 2 sleep.

 

Okk guys..dis is not much of a romantic part..nxt part will def be more romantic..wanted 2 add more  scenes..but it became 2 long.
