5th day... Part 1...
Naina was strolling in the garden, while Yuvi joined her early in the morning… The mild chillness n the mild sunrays n Naina amidst floral plants was totally a breath taking moment for Yuvi… Every other natural surrounding seemed to fade away, who had his eyes n thoughts fixed on Naina… Naina who was in a yellow flared skirt combined with a floral patterned pear colured top, seemed to blend with the beautiful nature… But outshining the nature for Yuvi…
Naina didn't notice someone around including Yuvi, who was admiring her… N Yuvi's crooked mind came out with an idea n with a smile on his lips approached Naina from behind her…
Yuvi : Good morning, Naina…
Naina who was bent towards a plant, admiring the flower n the dew drops on the petals n Yuvi had greeted her from behind getting nearer to her ear, which made her jump with a jerk on hearing his voice suddenly… N tripped dashing Yuvi's shoulders… Yuvi who expected this, readily took her waist holding her n saving her from a fall n Naina too gripping his shirt for a hold…
A little dumb found, then came back to her senses after few seconds n glared at the smiling Yuvi…
Naina : Yuvi… *stressing the word…*
Yuvi : *smiling widely…* This early, I receive such a cold welcome for my pleasant good morning… *Naughtily…* Wonder how my day would begin, in future looking at these scary eyes…
Naina : You scared me n you are blaming me… *punching his arm…*
Yuvi : I was smiling when I wished you… Even now I'm smiling… *giving a wide grin…*
Naina : *Having known this naughty guy, couldn't suppress a smile…* Why wont you smile? Playing all your pranks on me…
Yuvi : This smile… I want to see this smile every morning in my life… *lifting her chin…*
Naina : If all your pranks are over, now, shall we go for a walk?
Yuvi : Actually speaking, I wont prefer a walk when you are in my hold… *Coming a little closer to her face, making her realize that she had been standing in his grip since he entered the picture…*
Naina : Yuvi… We'll go now… *Saying softly n getting herself away from his holding arm n hand… n taking the lead with enthusiasm… n Yuvi following her admiring her enthu….*
*What is this flower, what is this plant, how it grows… She asked too many questions n Yuvi explained whatever he knew with a smile n contentment, as Naina said I luv this, I luv that n I luv this place n everything around… She collected few flowers for the vase… N Naina was totally taken away by the beauty of the nature n Yuvi was totally taken away by the beauty of her nature, her ways n means…*
Naina : Look at the time Yuvi… *She exclaimed looking at his watch, holding Yuvi's wrist…*
Yuvi : Why… It's not late for breakfast…
Naina : I thought we'll have a badminton match this morning… But I forgot everything in this beautiful atmosphere… *admiring the surrounding n taking a half circle turn…*
Yuvi : Even I forgot everything… Looking at my lady luv…
Naina : *Naina smiled…* It's time… We'll get in Yuvi…
Jiggy joined them while they were getting into the house… N the trio headed to the dining room where the breakfast was ready on the table, ready to eat…
Jiggy : *Helping himself, filling his plate with the food…* Yuvi… I want to ask you something about that grandfather clock…
Yuvi : *Nodded…* Now, what did that poor clock do to you?
Jiggy : For night we will stop that clock from working… For each hour, the chime of the clock is making me scared…
*Yuvi n Naina, both laughed n Jiggy stared at Naina…*
Yuvi : Your room is in that corner… N the sound won't be much audible from the hall…
Jiggy : But when I came to the kitchen around 1' O clock, it was chiming… N really I was scared, making me drop the bread slices…
Yuvi : 1' O clock in the kitchen??!!! *with a naughty grin…*
Jiggy : If you are awake at that late hour, wont you feel hungry? *staring at Yuvi, straightening his spectacles…*
Yuvi : You have a point, but don't dare to touch that grandfather clock… You can't bring it to working so easily, if meddled…
Jiggy : OK… Tonight I'll wake you up, you accompany me to the kitchen…
Yuvi : So far, I haven't tried my hands in killing someone… Tonight will be the day n you will be the first person… *Carelessly taking a sip of his fruit drink…*
Naina : Yuvi… *Looking at him warningly…*
Yuvi : K Naina *with a smile…* Is this such a big matter? Take some snacks, food whatever you want to your room after dinner… *Looking at Jiggy…* I wouldn't mind, if you wish to sleep in the kitchen… *Rising from his chair, ready to leave…* Naina I'll be back for lunch, after completing my work… N Jiggy, you have your bike… So you decide about what you want to do… So bye… *Smiled at Naina…*
Naina was all set for preparing the lunch herself that day… it was her final dish that she was preparing when Yuvi entered the kitchen…
