Part 6
The sun rays hit the beautiful mountains of Shimla, making some way through the fog and the room lit up with the mild sunlight through the curtains disturbing Armaan's sleep. He woke up completely and streching his arms turned around smilingly but frowned as he found her side empty. Sitting up on the bed he saw their room door but it was still latched which meant she was still inside the room, but even there was no sound of shower, as he was busy thinking about her whereabouts he felt cold breeze touch him making him shiver a bit. He turned around and as he found the balcony door open he hit his forehead with his palm.
Ohho...is ladki ko kabhi ye balcony dikhani hi nahi chahiye thi. Stupid you Mr. Mallik...ab pachtao!
Moving the blanket aside he walked out into the balcony and found her standing in freezing cold with just a shawl around herself, rubbing her hands to keep herself warm,rosy cheeks, hair flying due to the cold wind and her lips quivering. But still her lips had a sweet smile which showed that she was enjoying the weather thoroughly. She startled as he held her by her waist but soon composed herself. He had been doing this a llot lately, but still she wasn't habituated and nor did her cheeks seemed to as everytime they would colour up when he held her.
Trying to turn into a snowman...I mean snowwoman...are we? She frowned completely confused by his words, but as he saw her red red nose he piched it and replied instantly,
Itni thand hai, aur tum yaha itni thand kya kar rahi ho subah subah? Beemaar padne ka iraada hai?
Nai...bas aankh khul gayi toh socha subah ko is khubsoorat nazaare se din ki shuruat karu.
Hmm...but you made me miss my early morning view!
Matlab??
Mujhe subah uthte hi tumhara chehra dekhne ki aadat hai...par tum yaha aa gayi...toh mere din ki shuruat toh galat ho gayi na! She just stared at him unable to react as his cheesy line first thing early in the morning was least expected. He smiled at her shocked face and kissed her cheek. Good morning Mrs Mallik...ab ghurna band karo aur andar chalo...come, holding her hand he took her inside and latched the door and she smiled at him thinking he was being so careful yet stupid as, as if she was a kid and couldn't open the latch and move out.
Of course you can open the latch and go out darling...I know but I would advice, you better don't kyunki fir tumhe mujhe face karna padega...which I don't think would be a great thing for you. He gave a fake warning smile and she got the cue. So she quietly nodded her head and went for a shower.
Later he took her out for site seeing. She enjoyed each and every bit of it as the place was already one of her favourites and he being there for her company was a plus point.
But the atmosphere there was really very cold and that was a major drawback for her. Not that she was complaing but he was! She been the careless was always neglecting the cold and trying to enjoy to her fullest. He was trying to turn a blind eye as he did not want to scold her and spoil her mood but then when she started sneezing after a while and her nose turned pure red he just dragged her to the car and said that this much sightseeing was more than enough for the day.They returned back around 7 and both of them were really tired, but still he freshened up and said that he had to meet a very important client who was been nagging him from so long and he could no more neglect it. He said he will be back in a while, maximum one hour. She dozed off for a while but she woke up around 8:30 and found out that he came back a while ago but was busy on the laptop with something in the studyroom. She cursed her luck and him;
Ofcourse...ye toh hona hi tha na Riddhima. How can you even think ki vo yaha pe aayenge aur poora time bina kuch kaam kiya baithenge. Agar thoda sa relax kar liya , toh inke gale se khaana utrega thodi! Par peechli baar toh bada keh rahe the, ki you are far more important for me than any other work, aur us din toh mujhse promise bhi kiya tha ki doobara aisa kuch nahi karenge...sigh! Khair...ab chodo...ye toh apne kaam main vyast ho gaye, ab main kya karu yaha akele? She read some magazines and then turned on the tv in her room. But somehow she still felt restless. Moreover the balcony view was as if attracting her towards itself but his warning smile that he had given in the morning kept her in her place. She had asked him once but he just answered that he would be done by the time the dinner is ready so she went back and continued watching tv. The weather outside had turned foggy and beautiful. The shimmering tiny lights, were adding onto the beauty of the place. However she tried to ignore all that but she remained unsuccessful. She loved standing in cold and seeing beautiful views like that but she was just a little worried as what if he would see her standing out in such weather?
Par vo toh yaha hai hi nahi na...aur vaise bhi...mujhe lagta hai unhe aur thoda time toh lag hi jaayega, main darwaaza bhi band nahi kar sakti...kya kahungi, kya kar rahi thi?...haan bas aage karke rakh deti hu...agar Armaan aa gaye toh darwaaze ki awaaz se mujhe pata lag jaayega, phir main andar aa jaungi! Haan...nice idea!
She pushed the door a little and went out in the balcony. She had her flippers on still she could feel her feet chilled, and the cold was just way too much than she expected...but the beautiful sounds of the birds and amazing view in fog made all other things unnoticeable for her right now.
The clock struck nine and she just stood out wrapped in a shawl completely lost in the beauty in front of her. She never realized when the door opened up and Armaan entered the room. He was about to call her out when he heard a sneeze and seeing the balcony door open just could no more hold his anger. Walking straight to the balcony he stood at the door and called her. As soon as she heard his voice she froze as she realized the anger in his tone. Even before she could start her explaination;
Armaa...sneeze...aap...sneeze...sneeze...sneeze...ma...sneeze...main..toh sneeze...
Get in Riddhima!
Armaa...sneeze...sneeze... He just went out and holding her arm tightly dragged her in and locked the door not leaving her hand for a second. She again tried to speak up but he glared and she almost forgot to speak as she saw him looking at her with that warning in his eyes that one word and she would be in big BIG trouble. He literally took her to the bed like an unwilling small kid and making her sit down covered her with blanket till the neck. Handling her the syrup he made her drink it and as soon as she was done,
Just lie down and sleep. Nothing more done, nothing said. Get that?
And as the words were out of his mouth she obeyed them like an obedient child and taking the blanket on her head slept quietly. Her act and the innocence in her eyes did bring a small smile on his face but his anger did not let him show that on his face
Later after an hour or so she felt someone calling her name and then she sensed that it was none other than Armaan who was trying to wake her up. She opened her eyes and found him staring down at her. She realized that he trying to wake her up to have dinner and without saying anything she quietly ate her dinner even though she absolutely did not feel like having it! She was observing him and waiting for him to say something but he never did. After the dinner he switched off the lights and she kept wondering about how was she supposed to start the conversation. She was so happy about the trip and because of one stupidity she did not want to spoil it. But ultimately she thought that she would talk to him tomorrow as her brain wasn't working for now;
Haan, shayad mujhe kal hi baat karni chahiye unse. Unka ghussa bhi thoda kam ho jaayega tab tak...
Kya hua Riddhima?
Huh?? Ky...kya? Kya hua...ku...kuch nahi...kaha...main...
Relax...what's wrong...tum kaap kyun rahi ho? He was now half lying resting his body on his elbows looking down at her.
Vo...ku...kuch...na...nahi.
Bolo kya hua? Tell me come on! His voice held the same care as before which gave her a little relief.
Vo...muj...mujhe...
Hmm...tumhe kya?
Mujhe...bohot...jyaada thand lag rahi hai. She said all the rest in one breath in a meek voice looking down guiltily.
Toh bata kyun nahi rahi thi?
Mujhe laga...aap vapas ghussa ho jaayenge...vo balcony main khadi thi us vajah se hi ye...toh...main... she kept fidgeting with the blanket throughout. As she did that he could no longer hold himself back and gave a hearty laugh. Bending down he gave a tight kiss on her forehead and slapped her cheek playfully. She just looked up at him with her big eyes amazed at his reaction. He always surprised her in some or the other sweetest way possible!
Agar itna hi khayal hai toh bevakoofi karti hi kyun ho? Ab dekho tabeeyat kharab kar li na khudki! Kitni sardi ho gayi hai tumhe! Yaha aao.
Huh??...na...nahi ...it's okay...ma...main theek hu.
Arey yaha aao, don't worry main kaatunga nahi, naahi toh aisa kuch karunga ki tum muh dikhane laayak na raho! He said that in a melodramatic way now making her laugh. She slowly moved ahead nervously and he held her hand out of the blanket and started rubbing it.
Tumhe pata hai tum mujhe kehti rehti ho; par tum bhi kuch kam nahi ho! Tum bhi bilkul choti bachi ho, vo unhe darate hai na ki aisa mat karo vaise mat karo varna hum tumhe kahi baahar lekar nahi jaayenge, mujhe lagta hai even I should start that with you. You know like the rule book should be set so as to decide whether you are coming with me or not.
Haww! Main itni bhi jiddi nahi hu. Aap ab kuch bhi mat boliye.
Acha? Main kuch bhi bol raha hu? Ofcourse...vaha baahar jaane ki jid toh humesha main karta rehta hu na.
Vo toh...main...kyunki...
It's okay ab rehne do...vaise bhi actually I am not complaining, it's good in a way that you are childish! She raised her eyebrow at that?
Haan matlab us vajah se tumhara ye innocence ab bhi hai tum main. Tumhari maasom aankhein humesha sach bata deti hai, tumhari hasi dil se hoti hai jo tumhare aankhon tak pohochti hai, tumhari har baat saaf aur dil se hoti hai, and trust me, these days it's really not that easy to maintain that innocence in this cruel world! Both were lost in each other's eyes. Slowly he moved ahead and bending down he kissed her forehead once again.
Please ab dubaara aisa koi bachpana mat karna par. I don't want you falling sick and getting bed ridden on our trip.
Hmm...I am sorry. He just smiled at her and blinked his eyes indicating that it was all ok.
Ab bhi thand lag rahi hai tumhe?
Nahi... Ab theek hai. But as she still found him gazing down at her with a smirk she asked;
Aap aise kyun dekh rahe hai? Aur muskura kyun rahe hai?
Tumhari naak!
Kya hua meri naak ko?
Tumhari naak bilkul laal ho chuki hai...ekdum cherry red. She pouted and kept a hand on her nose to hide it from him.
Vo toh sardi ki vajah se...varna meri naak laal nahi hai, and don't call my nose cherry.
Par tum chupa kyun rahi ho?
Toh aap has kyun rahe hai mujhpar!
Main has nahi ra...she raised her eyebrow as if saying stop lieing; I mean ya I am smiling but that's because...you are...you are looking cute.
Jhooth mat boliye...main jaanti hu, ab aap ye bas mujhe acha feel karane ke liye bol rahe hai!
Arey nahi...sach main you look cute this way!... Acha how about we make it look lighter by making your entire face look even?
Matlab?
Matlab ye... he bent down and went so close to her that she unintentionally held her breath back because of the proximity they shared. She could feel his hot breath on her lips which made her shiver and she closed her eyes tightly. He moved the fringe away and caressed her cheek lightly. Moving ahead he placed a sloppy kiss on her cheek very near to her earlobe making the hair on her neck stand turning her cheeks completely red.
See now it's even, ab tumhare gaal bhi lal hai! She just couldn't dare open her eyes as she knew that he was still very close, looking down at her. But still her smile did tell him that her cold was long forgotten.
Aankhein toh kholo!
She nodded her head in no.
Pleaseee. She again nodded in no and instead turned around and hugged him to hide her face in his neck. That did surprise him a little but he anyways hugged her back and holding her close, kissed her on her head and wished her goodnight. She snuggled closer finding the needed warmth and he wrapped his arms tightly providing her all the warmth that she needed. Both closed their eyes to slip into the sweetest and most soothing night of their life.
