MANVI'S POV
It was 6:30 in the evening and I was staring at the cloudy sky and the retrieving sun. The whole ground was covered with green and thick trees. and not so far from this guest room's window, a one -floored cute house peeped out fron the thick trees. Every time I look out of the window, I end up staring at this small house. I really feel like going there. "The scenery near the Vadhera house is not so bad!" I exclaimed. Talking about the vadhera house , I have come cuz its my dii's sasuraal. I like everyone here. Jeeju, vanshika aunty, SB, dadaji, chahu, chichi, shlok, the servants ,and!.. virat. Taking his name . I can really feel my heart beat rising up. " oh no . not again" I sighed. " why do I feel like this for virat only? He is my friend, my partner. Oh god jab bhi main virat ke bare mein sochthi hoon tho mera sir ghoom jaatha hai." Icomplained.but still, he look good, I mean the way he look at me, his touch, his!!"OK Manvi stop it!. Main us gadhe ke bare mein kyu soch rahi hoon?. Vo chep hai aur chep hi raheega." But still he is my best friend and enemy. But somewhere beneath my heart I know that I have come here to see him, to talk to him! suddenly a not- so strong breeze blew ,making my hair fly in the air. "strange!". I heard a voice , a female one, whispering near my ears "MANVI!"
"Who's there?" I shouted and stood up. But to my surprise no one was there. This was not for the first time that this is happening. I have experienced this before also.suddenly someones hand touched my shoulder and I heard a deep manly voice from behind. "manvi". I was hell shocked and immediately I turned. And what a relief I had seeing virat there. But wait. What is he doing here? I mean now? It was almost 7:30 but still the lights in my room were off.
The dim moon light fell on his cheeks. He wore his black shirt, which was my favourite. And as usual he had his first three buttons open. He was looking straight at me , in fact staring. "stop it manvi", I said mentally."kya hua manvi? Tumhare room mein itna andhera kyu hai?" he said in a concerned manner. I was staring at him , lost in his eyes. " manvi?" he said. I came back to my senses. " room mein itna andhera iss liye hai kyunki lights OFF hai, Chep!"I said handling the situation smartly. " ha par tumne lights ON kyu nahi kiya?" he asked. "Kyu, meri room hai main lights ON karu ya OFF tumhe kya?" I questioned him. "kyu, main partner hoon tumhara, main tumhare bare mein nahi sochunga tho aur kaun sochega?"he answered . this made me loose myself into his deep eyes. I found a slight smile stirring up on his lips.i couldn't stop myself from starring at him. His eyes are mesmerizing. I felt a sudden touch on my wrist. I felt something.. something like an electric shock . yes its his hand. he came close to my face, really close. he reached my right cheek. Actually I thought he was aiming at my lips. I closed my eyes. He then slowly whispered in my ears. " its dinner time sweetheart" .
I came back to my senses. He pulled me by my wrist out of the room, down stairs, and finally to the dining table. He left my hand . I looked at him giving a 'why-did -you -leave' kind of expression. Vanshika aunty greeted me and we all sat to have dinner. He was sitting opposite to me. He stole my glance and I knew it.
After the dinner I went straight to my room, the guest room, with my dii. After having a lot of chattering with her, I asked her to leave as I knew that jeeju was eagerly waiting for her better-half. It was 10:30. All were asleep except me. And I am used to staying up late at night. As usual, I kept staring out of the window at the cute house. I really felt something strange with that house. A strong breeze blew towards me and a deep scent spreaded all inside my room especially in the window area. It was something like a lady's perfume. It was not my dii's. neither it was mine cuz my perfume had a strawberry smell. I can really feel someone's presence in my room . some one whispered near my ear, like that in the evening."MANVI..".
This time I was really scared. I just ran out of my room. I made my way towards Virat's room as it was near to that of mine. Fortunately the door was unlock. All the way from my room, I felt like someone was following me. I opened the door , entered hurriedly and locked it immediately. To my surprise, the lights were ON!! My heart beat started to bounce. Oh no! that means Virat is still awake!
.

I looked all around to see if he was there. And there he is, sitting on the sofa with his laptop. But the worst part was.. he was staring in a questioning manner at me. I really didn't know what to do next.
VIRAT'S POV
I was sitting on the sofa, playing the latest games that I could find. I was in no mood to sleep. Though I was playing, I was the least bothered about the game. I kept gazing at my laptop wall paper. It was a picture of me and manvi. she really looked pretty in that expression on her face. Thinking about her, I moved my glance to my watch. It was 10:55 sharp by my watch."vo so gayi hogi kya?" I asked to myself. I was lost in my thoughts when I heard the sudden voice of the door opening. But it closed within a second and was locked in a nano second. I rose my head and to my surprise, it was manvi. she wore her light pink salwar suit, which was my favourite. She really looked beautiful in that dress.
But ,what is she doing here and that too at this time of the night ? why didn't she sleep yet? Why was she looking so scared? Why was she sweating a lot? With loads of questions in my mind, I walked towards her and poured all the questions over her one by one. She opened her eyes wide hearing my questions. I tried to cool my mind. I took her to the bed , by her shoulder, and made her sit . Giving her a glass of water, I asked "kya hua manvi ? tum itni dari hui kyu ho?" she satiated her thirst , took a deep breath and spoke in broken sentences "vo' vi..virat mein vo.. mere room mein koi.."
"kya hua manvi? tumhare room mein kya?" I asked. She took another deep breath and asked me a strange question. " do you believe in ghosts and all those super natural stuffs?" it seemed really weird to me. " kyu? Kya hua?" I asked.
"kuch nahi vo..kya bhoot sach mein hote hai?she enquired
"Manvi, ye tumhe kya ho gaya hai? Aaj tum itni strange thareeke se kyu behave kar rahi ho?..ek second.. O ffo manvi, tumne bhir se ek nayi ghost novel padi? Maine bola tha na tumse bhootho ki kahaniya math padna'" I said.
"Nahi virat, vo tho main bas.. chodo.. ye bathaao ki tum itni der kyu jage ho?" she changed the topic. "Bas games khel raha tha. Waise ye bataao ki tum itni der kya kar rahe the?"I directed the same question on to her.
" vo main bas khidki se baahar dekh rahi thi tho'." She stopped as she saw the time. It was 11: 20 by now. She jumped off the bed saying"kya?"
"kya..kya hua?"I asked
"virat, its 11:20. Itni raat gaye main tumhaare kamre mein kya kar rahi hoon?"she shouted. I raised one of my eye brows. she ran to the door.
"arre, par manvi, kya hua..?" I shouted back. But she ignored my question. she opened the lock and kept on pulling the handle. I was surprised to see her run back to me with the same speed. "kya hua, abhi tho tum yaha se aise bhaag rahi thi jaise tumhaare poonch( tail) mein aag lagi hai. Ab kyu waapas aaye?" I asked sarcastically.
"kya, tum mere bare mein aise sochthe ho?. Waise ek baath poochu? Tumhaare dimaag se leekar tumhaare ye door tak saari cheezein khattara hi hai kya?"she asked me rolling her eyes.
"kyu" I asked in a childish manner.
"khud hi deekh lo" she said keeping her hands on her waist. I went to the door and tried to open it'"oh god its jammed". I said. Her face turned red with anger. Slowly her eye brows dropped..and she made an ' about ' to- cry" kind of face.." manvi..?"
She sat on the bed with a loud thud and exclaimed "oh no! ye sab tumhaari wajah se hua hai'tumhari ye khattara door.. tumhe tho main'"saying this she raged towards me. I know she was aiming at my neck. She was gonna press my neck and leave it till I am dead and gone. I closed my eyes with fear. Now I can hear only her nearing foot steps'.
"aaa". Was that me? No it was manvi. when I opened my eyes, I found nothing else but the darkness. All the lights were OFF, the current had gone OFF. Before I could do any thing, I felt someone tightly clasp me. It was again her.
Her right cheek was touching my bare chest causing me to shiver like any thing. The bright moonlight was falling over her left cheek. I couldn't really see her face as it was buried in between my shirt. I couldn't stop myself from hugging her back. I tightly hugged her back. I closed my eyes and let her melt in my arms. My heart was not beating, it was jumping and bouncing and I 'm afraid that she'll hear my heart calling out her name at every beat. She moved her head a little bit to the left and loosened her hug a bit. I tried to make her comfortable in my arms and yes she was. It was clearly written on her face. The lights where ON by now. I think she realized it, cuz her facial expressions were changing. I noticed a slight frown on her face. She slowly opened her eyes. When she came back to her senses, she realized what she was doing. She first looked at my face to see my expression. Well, I had a normal expression. Then she noticed the distance between our body. I slowly unwrapped her from my hug, though I really didn't wish to do so. She looked into my eyes. This time, I really couldn't figure out what was going on in her mind. She looked in my eyes, hardly blinking.
I stared deep into her eyes. They were like deep oceans from where I really couldn't find my way back, until she blinked. She moved away from me. I could feel the awkwardness between us. Oh! Her cheeks' those where deep pink by now. I really didn't know what to do, where should I look , as I was blushing hard. So I decide to get myself engaged in looking here and there, so did she. She turned towards the window, not facing me. "so' rishikesh ki andhi kisi se tho darthi hai'" I spoke up breaking the silence. "matlab?" she asked me in a low tone, turning towards me.
"haa tumhe andhere se dar jo hai.."I said.
"manvi kisi se nahi darthi'"she spoke up bringing back her usual expression.
"o ho.. tabhi to tum lights OFF hote hi itni zor se chillakar mujhe hug'"I bit my tongue . It brought back the awkwardness. Her cheek were again turning pink. After a few seconds, I broke the silence "by the way, you do that a lot.."
"eh? What did I do?" she spoke up. I walked towards her . I moved closer, still she didn't move an inch. I leaned down to reach her face. She just looked into my eyes.
I moved towards her left ear and whispered "blushing". She looked at me. The breeze made her hair fall on her cheek. This was distracting me. I slowly touched her cheeks and tucked the hair behind her ear. She had her eyes shut. Her pink cheeks forced me to touch them. I moved my face towards her. But before I could think of anything else, she ran from there, pulled the handle of the door. This time it opened. She stopped to steal a glance of mine and ran to her room. I was left in my room .. alone'blushing'.

MANVI'S POV
I ran to my room without looking back. I entered my room, locked it tightly and ran to my bed. I crawled on to my bed and covered myself with the light yellow blanket, as I was feeling cold, feeling cold due to his touch, his closeness. I stared at the ceiling and recalled what happened in his room. My heart was beating at the speed of 1000. My fingers were shivering. I rubbed my palms against each other and took a deep breath, very deep breath. I hugged the pillow tightly. The way he hugged, the way I reacted to his hug..everything passed by my eyes one by one. The sound of the windows banging against each other made me come back from my thoughts. I stood up. "now stop it manvi. you are really crossing your limits. arre vo mujhe pehli baar thodi hug kar raha hai. We have hugged a lot before" I said convincing myself. But somewhere I knew that this hug was more intense and passionate than our old friendly side hugs. "ab so jaa. Kyunki agar tu soyegi nahi tho kal subhah kaise utegi. Aur agar thu kal nahi utegi tho uss chep ko kaise pareeshan karegi? So good night and sweet dreams" I mumbled to myself and made my way to the bed and buried myself in between the pillows and blanket. But I spent the whole night twisting and turning to my right and left.
Next morning...
I woke up at 07:05, which was considered 'late' for the vadheras. I got ready and decided to go to the breakfast table. "hey bhagvaan! Aaj ke din mere se koi galthi math hone dena. Nahi tho meri dii ki naak kat jaayegi. Please?" I prayed to god looking at the ceiling.
After the breakfast, I walked left to right in my room wondering what to do next. Dii was out with jeeju and I was getting bored. I heard a knock on my door. I opened it and ya, it was him..virat.
"partner, aaj ke din tum free ho, especially raath ko?". He asked me. I didn't notice any visible change in his attitude towards me, after the daring incident of last night.
"ha..par kyu?" I asked, trying to act normal.
" vo actually kya hai na ki main ghar mein baite baite bore ho raha tha . tho soocha tumhare saath kuch time spend karu. Waise mere paas ek plan hai . aaj hum kahi khoomne jaayenge. And by the way, aaj raath ko mere friends ne ek party organize ki hai. Tumhe un logo se milvaani bhi thi. Tho kya kehthi ho? Aaj rath ko hojaaye.. I mean... tum aaogi?" he said at one breath.
"ha." I said immediately. He narrowed his eyes, wondering what had happened to me, cuz I reacted suddenly. " I mean, vo kya hai na main bhi ghar mein baite baite bore ho rahhi thi. Dii bhi nahi hai. So.. I m ready." I said. I noticed a wide smile on his face. Oh , he looked so cute with that one on his face. "kab nikalna hai?" I enquired.
"abhi." He said
I wore my blue suit.
Usually I am not like other girls, like, applying a lot of make up and showing off their beauty and finally end up like a scary freak ghost of an unknown movie. I never applied makeup on normal days, thinking that it was gonna be risky. But this time I took the risk. I applied light make up, with a cute baby pink lipstick and light pink blush. Looking into the mirror, I arranged my hair and went out , ensuring if I looked good. As I entered the hall I saw virat doing something on his phone. I slowly walked towards him. Was that my strawberry smelling perfume or the sound of my bangles or the smell of my hair shampoo or may be our heart to heart connection, that made him realize my presence? He turned to face me, his eyes fell on my face, my light make up, my hair which I kept loose open, and my bangles. He kept on scanning me from head to toe. I waved my hand in front of him to bring back from his thoughts. I knew that he was taken aback by my new style. " kya hua? Main kharaab dikh rahi hoon kya?" I asked as if I didn't know what was in his mind.
"nahi, nahi tum bahut achi dikh rahi ho..i mean different..mmm.chale?" he asked me. I nodded in a yes.
We went out. He opened the door of the car, as if he was a gentleman. " virat ban gaya gentleman" I commented. He smiled. Though he was driving, I was the one who kept looking on the road. His gaze was not at the road, but at me. I noticed it. I was blushing, but my blush hid behind my makeup. " chandigarh ka map mere mu pe laga hai kya, jo tum itne dhyaan se deekh rahe ho. Aage dekh ke gaadi chalaao." I ordered him.
"ok maam" -Was his reply.
We started with the ice cream parlour, then for a movie, and then for the lunch. I was tired after the lunch. " virat bahut ho gayi khoomna phirna. Chalo ghar chalte hai." I asked him who was busy driving across an isolated road , far from the city.
"ha par ek aur jagah baaki hai" he said with a smile on his lips.
"par kaha?" I questioned him raising my eyebrows.
"wait and watch" he said.
VIRAT'S POV
I turned my car to a narrow road. After a while, I stopped the car under a tree. I jumped out and opened the door on manvi's side letting her come out. "virat. Ye tum mujhe kaunse jungle mein le aaye?" she asked worriedly.
"sabr rakho baalike. Sabr ka phal meeta hota hai. Pehle tum apni aakhe bandh karo." I commanded.
"par kyu?". She asked an expected question.
"bola na bandh karo" I insisted. She closed her eyes as there was no other way. I held her hand in mine. She suddenly opened her eyes to see her hand in mine and looked up to my face in a questioning manner. "kya hua. Agar main tumhare haath nahi pakdoonga tho tum chalogi kaise?"I said to convince her. She again closed her eyes and I led her forth. After walking almost a few distance, I stopped her. "manvi, apni aanke kholdo."I asked her .
"kyu, kya hua virat. Itni jaldi pahunch gaye? Maine socha tum mujhe 3 kilometer aur leeke jaaoge." She said ironically.
"whatever, tum apni aankhe tho khol do". I was excited to see her expression. She opened her beautiful eyes slowly to see the beautiful cliff on which we were standing.
I looked at her charming smile and her lips widened even more seeing the stream flowing down. She looked at me in astonishment. " kaisa hai?"I asked looking at her cute face.
"virat! Kitni achi jagah hai . it's so beautiful.. thank you so much partner..." she said and moved near the edge of the cliff , spreading her arms and admiring the beauty of the place. As she closed her eyes, a light breeze blew towards her as if it was embracing her. I just kept on admiring, the beautiful scenery didn't really matter to me. I was just lost in her beauty. I walked towards her and put my hands on her waist from behind, resting my chin on her shoulder. Her body stiffened with my touch. Imoved my hands to her stomach as if I was back hugging her. She closed her eyes and kept her hands on mine, which were on her stomach. Her hair was falling on my face and her hair fragrance was making me go mad . I smelled it deeply. My lips automatically moved to her neck. She tightened her grip over my hand, making me realize what I was doing. I slowly took my hands back and took a step to the back. She opened her eyes and stood still, may be trying to accept that I really..kissed her neck. "chale?" she asked me still facing her back towards me. A few seconds later, she walked towards the car. I followed her. All the way back home, we didn't utter a word. She went straight without looking at me, as soon as we reached the vadhera house. "manvi?" I called her back. She stopped but didn't turn. " aaj 07:00 baje ko party hai, tum chalogi?". I asked her in a low voice. She nodded in a yes and walked to her room hastily. I looked at her until she disappeared into her room and smiled to myself.
