A beautiful bungalow in midst of jungle. It is surrounded by big mighty trees. You can hear animal growling in daylight. In night it's pure silent except the cricket chirping or sound of some nocturnal animals. Sometimes some animals get really curious and come too near the bungalow. Then the guards' fire in the air and it runs away. One can enjoy the full and raw beauty of jungle. But all its beauty is in vein now. It's been raining for full two days.
Arjun cursed under his breath. He was sitting beside the window. The mere drops of rain were touching him. Coming here was not his idea. The idea came from his idiot childhood friend Miss Sakshi Anand. Opps Mrs. Sakshi Arjun Rawte. He smiled as he pronounced her full name. They got married just two week ago. Even now it seems strange.
They were childhood friends. Their fathers were best friends. Arjun was the first one who took Sakshi in arms just after her birth. He was the one who taught her to walk. He was the one who taught her to write her name. Time is very strange. It's a wonder how time passed. Now if he looks back he doesn't regret a single moment he spent with his Sakshi.
Bachpan ka yaar..
Kaab ban gya pyaar..
Pata bhi na chala
Kaab ban gye haam diwane...
Don't know how and when Sakshi made her own personal place in his heart. In his thought. He doesn't know when he realized it. Perhaps it was that day when she fell off her swing, got hurt and cried. Every tears pricked him in the heart. Or perhaps it was the day when she graduated with highest mark and came in his arms running. Perhaps it was her eyes that twinkle every time he came near her. Or perhaps it was her crimson cheeks that became more crimson every time he touched them. May it be in playfulness. His chain of thought broke at the sound of bangles. Bangles and Sakshi are inseparable.

Sakshi came out from bath and found him sitting beside the window and lost in deep thought. She smiled a shy smile. He was her childhood crush. Slowly as time passed the crush turned into something more grave something deeper love. What was it that made her fall in love? Everything. From his smile to his dancing eyes. From his affections grin to his murderous anger. Every single thing.
He looked up and smiled. His gaze was so intense that it made her heart take a summersault. Deep blush crept over her cheeks making her more beautiful.
She was wearing a navy blue oversized tee with gins shorts. The color really suits her. Her long tanned legs, wet tangled hair and red cheeks made Arjun fall in love with her all over again. Softly with hesitant steps she came and sat beside her. She kept gazing out watching the rain.
You can watch the forest from the resort. But the rain made it hard to make out the shape. It looked like someone poured a drop of green in the water. Everything was so blurry. Sakshi wondered where all the animals go when it rains. Perhaps they find their shelter in the shade of trees or cave. She wish she could get drenched in rain with Arjun beside her. But that's not possible. Arjun hates rain. But he stepped into the rain willingly once. When he proposed her.
