Episode 15
"Kalyani, 5 days trip ke liye pack karlo apne liye. Main khud ka packing kar lunga."
"Sirf hum dono ka? Aur Pillu?"
"Moksh Aai Aur Kaka ke saath rahega."
"Bilkul nahi Malharji, mai Pillu ko chodke kahin nahi jaanewali aur woh bhi 5 din ke liye."
Malhar smiled inwardly, he had known her reaction even before he suggested it. She noticed him smiling and understood he was pulling her leg.
She threw a pillow at him, "Malharji aap aaj kal mujhe bohot tease kar rahe hain." she turned her head away from him.
"Tumhara ye gusse se laal chehre dekhne ka dil kar raha tha. Tumhe toh pata hai main bhi Moksh ko itne din kahin nahi chod sakta phir kyun samaj nahi payi."
She hit his chest with her fist. "Waise hum jaa kahan rahe hain? Ye toh ab tak nahi bataaya aapne."
"Shimla. We're going to Shimla."
"Kya?… Sach? Oh my god……."
"Ab jaldi se packing karna shuru karo. Be sure to pack warm and comfortable clothes. Bohot tand hogi wahan."
"Aur snow bhi…….Awww."
They packed their clothes and other necessities. Kalyani double checked if Moksh's clothes and his emergency medicines had been packed. Malhar had wanted to drive all the way but she had insisted not to, "Itna door drive karenge toh aap kuch enjoy nahi kar payenge." So instead they travelled by flight and rented a car for the remaining journey.
It was late afternoon by the time they reached the resort which Malhar had booked. Getting down from the car with Moksh in her arms, Kalyani looked around her and took in the beauty it presented. They were given a welcome drink while Malhar checked in and soon they were on their way to the room. There were two storied cottage type buildings spaced out at considerable distance housing the guests staying there. Kalyani shivered as the climate was cold. She wrapped her dupatta over Moksh to protect him from the cold.
They reached their room and their luggage had been delivered. The room was very spacious with a king sized bed, a wide and comfortable couch, a small pantry with basic necessities, a big bathroom with a bathtub, a huge balcony with glass doors which had bamboo chairs to sit and enjoy the view.
Malhar set their luggage and went through the menu for a quick snack, as their journey had been quite long and they were hungry. Kalyani went to the balcony to take in the view. The cold wind made her shiver and she wrapped her hands around herself but she couldn't take her eyes off the greenery that surrounded her.
Moksh was busy bouncing on the new bed and pretending to sleep. Malhar placed a room service order for sandwiches, coffee and noodles for Moksh. He went to the balcony and held her from behind, resting his chin on her shoulder. "Malharji, kitna beautiful hai yeh jagah." she also twined her arms around his waist soaking in his warmth.
"Hmm… bohot beautiful hai, aaj toh iska beauty sirf yahin se dekh sakte hain, kal bahar jayenge."
The doorbell rang announcing the room service delivery. Moksh was so happy to see the noodles and he ate without any fuss. Malhar cleared up the small table and threw the empty food boxes into the bin while Kalyani poured out the coffee into cups.
They refreshed themselves, dressed in warm clothes and went for a walk around the resort to explore what they had to offer. There were indoor and outdoor games for adults and kids, swimming pool, gym, massage and spa.
There was even a campfire area which would begin soon. So they decided to enjoy the campfire before going for dinner. The huge campfire was lit and most of the guests had gathered around it to soak in the warmth it provided. Malhar picked up Moksh so that he wouldn't try to run towards it. Many couples were dancing to the music played while older guests sitting down chatting among themselves.
One of the older couples turned to Kalyani, "Are tum dono bhi dance karo jake, bache ko hum thodi der rakh lete hain." Kalyani hesitated but the aunty convinced her that they would manage the child and asked her to go and enjoy with her husband. Malhar and Kalyani also joined the other couples who were dancing. The cold weather made it perfect to sway in each other's arms. They danced for a few songs, enjoying their proximity, before going back to Moksh. Kalyani thanked the couple.
The campfire went on for one more hour after which all the guests walked towards the dining area. There was a huge buffet with various cuisines. People were moving around with plates in their hands choosing what they wanted. Malhar found a cosy corner for them to sit and settled Moksh into a baby chair. Kalyani went around first filling her plate and Malhar went after she returned. They enjoyed the food and Moksh was too happy to fill his little tummy from the variety in his parents plate.
They took a short walk after dinner and then Malhar went to the help desk to book transport and a guide for sightseeing the next day. They walked back to their room holding hands. Kalyani changed Moksh into his nightwear and put him to sleep. The little guy took a while to sleep because of the new surroundings. Finally, he was sound asleep and Kalyani tucked the thick blanket around him before going to change her clothes.
Though the room had a heating system, she still shivered. She got into bed underneath the layers of blankets and snuggled close to her husband running her hand over his chest. Malhar turned towards her hugging her close and kissed her. "Did you enjoy sweetheart?" he asked. "Of course Malharji, I am so excited." she kissed him back.
The weather was just too perfect and they made love soft and gentle while their son slept blissfully unaware of what his parents were up to. The travelling time had exhausted them and they too fell asleep in each other's arms.
A small glimmer of the sun's rays broke Kalyani's sleep and she got up from the bed. Moksh and Malhar were still asleep so she got up from the bed and went in to refresh herself. She made a cup of instant coffee with the packets available in the pantry. She went to the balcony and sat there sipping the coffee and just enjoying the view. She was so lost in its beauty and failed to notice that Malhar had woken up and was standing behind her clicking pictures. He came towards her and took the cup from her taking a few sips from it. She leaned into him and they clicked some selfies with nature.
They all got ready and went in for breakfast before going to the help desk for the car they had booked. The driver was a very patient and experienced guy who knew the nooks and corners well and guided them to the tourist spots as well as the local markets. They took their time at each place enjoying nature and clicking as many pictures as they could. Moksh was happy to pose for pictures as his parents clicked away. They didn't bother with a proper lunch just eating fast food from the roadside. Kalyani had packed some food from the resort for Moksh as she didn't want to give him any of the roadside foods.
By evening they were back at the resort leaving some tourist attractions for the next day. They had tea and milk for the little guy at the dining hall before going to their room for a little rest. That evening Moksh enjoyed playing outdoors on the green grass and the swings. There were other little children whom he could join on the slides. He was so tired that he went to sleep immediately after dinner.
Altogether had been a very relaxing day for Malhar and Kalyani. They both were relaxing on the couch, Malhar lying down with his head on her lap. She played with his hair, bending her head down for a kiss. Soon, their clothes were off and found the couch was sufficient enough for them. Kalyani moaned softly as he pleasured her body with his mouth and fingers. She was only too happy to do the same for him, happy that she could elicit moans out of him. After a long time, their appetite was sated and their bodies glistened with sweat even in the cool climate of Shimla.
Two more days of their holiday left.....
