as soon as the weather settled down they went back to the van. after a 30min drive the van driver dropped them for shopping.

siddhi went around and keeping every one in mind quickly grabbed few gift items.while kunal was wandering around the shops he hooked on to a turquoise blue shawl with self jacquard designed.he looked at the price tag .it was 2000 rupees!
' 2000 rupees! omg! very expensive!😲' kunal said to himself.

kunal:'thanks...😊'
after their hurry burry shopping they came back to their van to reach the hotel.unfortunately by that time the climate became worst again following a snow storm.the roads got jammed with snow. the van driver struggled to drive.some how he took a short cut and entered in residential area to reach the hotel, but he could not succeed in his try.the van got struck in the snow.
driver:'sorry sir we cannot go further...😔'
kunal:'what!...😲 😡'
driver:' i am sorry again and i apology for the inconvenience...😔'he said very politely looking at the passengers.
kunal:'god! ab kya karen...' he looked at siddhi .
driver:'no worry sir.we are close to your hotel .from here with in five minutes walk , you can go to the main road. take left , in few minutes walk you can reach your hotel...'he was kind enough to explain them the rout.
siddhi:'come on don't waste time...get down...'both of them got down from the van along with other turist. out side it was freezing cold with snow strom and wind.
kunal:'chalo...😒' they stated walking with shopping bags in both their hands.they found it difficult to walk against the wind and heavy snow falling on their face.the hard snow made them frequently trip and slip
they tried to run...but could not.after a solid 10 minutes walk in freezing cold and snow falling all over their body they reached the hotel.kunal grabbed the key from the receptionist and rushed to their room.
both were wet and shivering with cold.kunal threw the shopping bags on the sofa ,rushed to the fire place to lit up the fire.he quickly opened their baggage and randomly grabbed few cloths of siddhi.
siddhi:' go and change your dress...😔'he gave the dress to her.
siddhi's fingers were froze and became stiff because of over cold.she found it difficult even to hold the cloth.kunal pulled out his dress from the bag for him to change.
kunal:'khadi khadi kya thak rahi ho? 😡...can't you see you are freezing... go and change your cloths...😡' siddhi slowly went to the wash room to change her cloths.she cannot even walk properly.her toes froze and became numb.mean time kunal change his dress and called the room service to bring hot tea.
after changing the cloth siddhi came out of the wash room,went and sat in front of the fire place folding her legs.
kunal:'do you feel better now?...😊'he too came and sat beside her on his toes.
siddhi:' little bit...'she said looking at her fingers. they turned red and slightly swelled too.
kunal:'omg!😲 thumare fingers freeze hogayeh hai...' he said looking at her pink , thin , long , elegant fingers with neatly trimmed and polished nails.
siddhi:' ouch...'she tried to close her fingers and yelled with pain.
kunal:'show me...' he moved close to her , took her hands in to his and gently rubbed them. he felt as if he was rubbing bunch of fresh pink rose petals, they were so cool , soft and smooth. he hold her fingers as gentle as he can .he looked at her while mildly rubbing.her face was glowing by the reflection of light from the fire place. with her damp hair she was looking amazingly attractive and spectacularly gorgeous . he eyed her from all possible angles.once there were days he don't like to look at her. he wonder how the things changed in his life.
kunal:'tum bahuth sunder ho siddhi...😛' first time he complemented her.
siddhi:😲 😳...a sly smile spread across her face.for the past few hours they were physically moving very freely and closely which kindled her suppressed and hidden feelings which a women always has inside.his complement doubled it. she could not stop looking at him.

her mind and body halted for few minutes. she slowly raised her hands up and placed on his back...a kind of hug. the feel of her fingers spoke with him ...console him...she caressed his back to sooth him, to make him calm and comfort...
siddhi:'ab hum yahaan nahi raheyn gay...i can't see you in pain...😭'she decided by herself while they were still in one anther's arm.
