~Sadka kiya hai ishq ka~ SS chap30 updated pg147:) - Page 89

"ab bhool jao is letter ko, woh jo bhi hai thoda pagal lagta hai mujhe...ab chalo sach me bahar chalte hain..tumharewala bahar nahi; mera wala bahar" Manyata said with a wink in his direction.

After sometime they reached a shopping mall-they had no clothes-and Manyata had the time of her life filling the shopping cart. They were in a cloth shop now and Manyata chose a pair of jeans and a tee for herself. Veer couldn't help but think back to the woman he had seen in airport. Who was she?

"Veer? maine poocha main kaisi lag rahi hoon in kapdon me?" Manyata yelled at him.

Oh yes, she had changed into those clothes and was asking his opinion. "Bohot achchi lag rahi ho" he said without looking at her.

"pata nahi tumhe ho kya gaya hai..par mere paas tumhara mood sudharne ka plan hai...chalo skiing karne chalte hain" Manyata pulled on his hand.

Veer was lost in his own world and Manyata thought that it might be due to change in place. As they walked, she pointed to different shops to see if anything could alleviate his mood.

"woh dekho na Veer...ice cream shop..chalo na chalte hain" she looked like a kid.

"mujhe nahi khana..waise bhi bahar mausam itna thanda hai...sardi ho jaayegi tumhe, chalo yahan se" he caught the wrist of the woman going towards Ice cream shop.

All his suspicions, doubts of the past hour came true as he saw the woman's face turn towards him. She was in the same clothing as he had seen at the airport and by sheer co-incidence Manyata had chosen same shade of Jeans and tee for herself.

Before he could as much as take a breath, she ran towards the crowd of the people going towards the lift and disappeared.

"Veer, tum wahan kya kar rahe ho? Lo main khud jaakar ice-cream le aayi.." Manyata handed him a cone of ice cream.

"Manyata, tumhe pata hai abhi maine-"

"abhi tumne kuch bhi kiya ho mujhe sunna nahi hai, hum yahan honeymoon manane aaye hain..aur hum khoob enjoy karenge, chalo" she dragged him.

He was sure that they were being followed and sure as hell he would find out why was J following them...wasn't she supposed to be in Mumbai? Oh no, was Akash here too?

********************************

In the lift, J was huffing. Her heart was pounding loudly due to all the running she had done. Well she was inches away from getting unvelied in front of the very person she wanted to hide from. She was here for a purpose and she has to remain incognito till it was accomplished. Yes, Veer had seen her, not once but twice; but some where she was sure that he wouldn't expose her. He wouldn't want to ruin their honeymoon. She had heard them discuss the snow park and her next stop would be precisely that.

****************************

Manveer were in Snow Park now and Manyata was reminded of mushy bollywood movies seeing all the white slippery snow around her. They changed into appropriate gear for skiing and a guide joined them. The guide understood that they needed some privacy and left them alone after giving some basic instructions.

"Us taraf khayi(Gorge) hai sir, wahan mat jaayiye..itni gehri khayi hai ki haddiyan bhi nahi milengi(not even bones would be available if you fall from there)" He warned them.

As they slid on it holding each others hand, they didn't realize there was someone watching them. She had covered her face with a muffler and she was clad in a heavy coat too.

In the mall Manyata hadn't given him an opportunity to tell her about J. he must not hide it from her now. This was the right time to tell her. "Manyata...main tumhe kuch-" he didn't complete as he saw her shaking snow off the low hanging branch of a nearby tree. The snow was falling on her face and his princess looked an absolute angel with a lock of hair escaping out of her hat. Why spoil her happiness?

As he gloated over her, a ball of snow hit his face hard and he was stunned momentarily.

"pata hai tum bilkul bhondu lag rahe ho bhondu!" she laughed at her own joke.

Did she think he couldn't strike back? he bent and picked up some snow..Take that and that!

As he pelted the snow ball towards her she ducked for cover showing him her toung; teasing him. He dodged her and she ran. In the process of running, she didn't see where she was going and lost her footing. The snow was really slippery and she started going down with nothing to hold on to. It was 100 foot gorge below. Not even bones would be available.

He noticed the warning signs only now. It was clearly written in Hindi : "aage khatra hai..is seema ke paar na jaayen" Meaning 'Danger ahead, don't venture beyond this line' They were long past that border.

As Udayveer looked in horror at his screaming wife, someone rushed from behind with a rope and threw it down where Manyata was falling. After a little bit of struggle Manyata caught it and Udayveer joined the person in pulling her up.

Once she reached up, he hugged her tightly and for a moment everything was forgotten. Veer rubbed her back and she calmed down bit by bit.

The androgynous figure who was Manyata's savior was already moving away.

But the person ignored him and moved fast. "Meri baat toh suniye" Veer called out again and he or she literally took to heels.

"Ajeeb aadmi hai, main toh sirf isko dhanyavad bolna chahta tha" Veer said.

"Jaane do na Veer...mujhe ghar le chalo" Manyata was tired of the place.
