The next day.. I was woken up by an alarm..
Yes an alarm!! Shivangi had set an alarm on our date night.

"Shivangi.. raat ho rahi hai.. iss samay ka alarm?", I asked sleepily and she freed herself from my arms and woke up.

"Haan utho... Subah hone wali hai...", She said drowsily.

"Matlab abhi raat hai meri maa... Mujhe please sone de...
Jab subah ho jayegi.. mujhe utha dena..
Infact tu bhi so jaa... aa!!" I called her in my sleep.

"Nahi!!!! Utho!!!!!
Varna main paani phenk doongi..", she threatened and I got up immediately.

"Kya hai... Kya karna kya hai tujhe itni subah subah..", I asked her irritably.. because I was very sleepy.

"Yeh!", She said as she came and stood beside me.. and pointed towards the horizon.

"Oh f*ck!!!!!!! This is stunning...", I exclaimed.

And truly.. it was.
I have been living in Mumbai.. but hadn't ever seen the sunrise with such a view..
I'm just not a morning person..

"This is so calming... So serene..", I sighed and she held my hand and kissed it gently.

"This is to everything beautiful that comes our way...
To everything positive that we will see around us...
To everything that has a calming effect... To everything that will help our relationship grow..", she sighed.

"This is...
To our everlasting love..
to our forever-growing friendship..
to our unbreakable bond..
This is... TO US!!!!", I completed.
And then.. both of us kept watching the sun rise.. we kept watching the fading darkness and spreading sunshine and brightness..
And we kept feeling the warm-cold waves on our feet...

Then.. suddenly I swept her off her feet.. into my arms.. and rotated her by a 360° making her open hair fly and land on my face.. We then had a breif round of the water-splashing game.. which according to her.. she won.. but I know I did.

After spending about half an hour here.. when we thought it might get crowded.. we went back home.
Shivangi was going to her college group today.. because I had some work commitments that couldn't be avoided.
And on her friends' insistence.. she was.. rather unwillingly.. staying the night with them.

The plan for the next day was that she would get all her friends along with her to my place.. for lunch and a day out.
They hadn't come over so I had invited them.
And on Ananya's "secret insistence", I had also called Abrar.. who was more than happy to gatecrash and join us.. rather, join Ananya.

Shivangi got ready and then she left to be with her college friends.
The next day.. Shivangi came in earlier than the others as they had to go shopping and Shivangi wasn't interested.

"Hello?!!??", I heard her cheerful voice as she came and hugged me from the back.. when I was getting ready in the room.

"hello!!!!", I answered with the same cheerfulness in my voice and held her hands that hugged me.. lovingly.

As soon as I turned around.. she screamed..

"Chhhheeeeeeeee!!!!!!! Orange colour ki T-shirt kaun pehenta hai... Change karo ise!!!", She exclaimed.

"Ok.. to tu hi bata ki main kya pehnu.. tere friends aa rahe hain..", I said to her.

"Achha theek hai.. main bataati hoon.", She said and opened his cupboard and started scanning it.
She finally found something and as soon as she turned around..

"Aaaaaa!!!!!! Oh god!!!!
Parth??!!!??!!!", She screamed loudly.

"Go!!!! Parth jaao yahan se...", she screamed.

"Arre hadd ho gayi.. yeh baat to mujhe bolni chahiye thi.. tujhko nahi...", I said.

"Parth pleaseeee!!!!! Jaake kapde pehno.. please..", she begged with her eyes tightly shut and I smirked.

"Dekh Shivangi.. tu ne hi mujhe force kiya hai yeh karne ke liye..", I said.

"Kyun?? I mean kaise??", She asked.. her eyes still closed.

"Maine achhi khaasi T-shirt pehni thi.. tu ne utarva di..
Ab ek baar main bed pe aa gaya hoon.. to jaldi uthne nahi wala..
I'm sleepy...", I said.

"Parth!! Yeh lo.. ise pehen lo.. but please aise shirtless mat pade raho..", she literally begged and threw the black t-shirt that she had taken out of the cupboard, at me.

"Ok... Lo pehen li.. khol le apni aanhken.", I came to her and said.
She finally opened her eyes..

"Aaaa!!! Oh god!!! Liar...", She screamed as I had still not worn my shirt and was teasing her.
She turned around to run.. when I grabbed her by her elbow abd pulled her towards me with a jerk almost making her gasp for breath.

"Kya.. haan?!!", I said and forcefully took hold of her hands and kept them on my bare stomach..
To make her feel my abs...
Ok fine.. I know I'm trying to flaunt my body.. but bohot mehnat karta hoon main yaar..
Itna to banta hai!

"Itni sharam huhh?!!
Ab tu har baat pe aise blush karegi.. to hum kabhi kuch kar hi nahi paayenge..", I nuzzled in her ears.

"Parth chhodo mujhe... Sab aa jaayenge. Please leave me..", she blushed and tried to run away.
All the time she was looking down...
So with my fingers on her chin, I lifted her head and then something super mischievous came in my head...

"Shivangi Aggarwal?!! I dare you...
I dare you to kiss me right here.. right now!", I smirked.

"What?!!! No way... Shut up Parth Samthaan.. you're not getting anything...", She said... Now with her eyes wide open... Looking straight into my eyes.
Mana to kar rahi thi.. par kiss ka naam sunte hi aankhen khul gayi uski.. ab kiss hoti hi aisi cheez hai..

"Oh really?!!!
Theek hai phir....
Agar tu ne mujhe yahan.. abhi.. kiss nahi kiya.. to main humare kal ke kiss ka description aaj tere friends ke saath share kar doonga..
So the call is yours..", I smiled very innocently.

"Huhh?!? Whatever... Mujhe pata hai ki tum kuch nahi karoge aisa..
You can't do anything..", she said confidently.

"Yeh confidence choor-choor ho jaayega.. jab mera moonh tere doston ke saamne khulega..
Abhi bhi time hai.. soch le..", I said and she pushed me on the bed and went out of the room.
I then finally wore my T-shirt.. and went to the kitchen.
Yes...
I was cooking today.. with the help of my cooks ofcourse.. but I was cooking today..

"Parth?!! Parth kahan ho?", I heard Shivangi calling me.. because earlier, she was talking to my to-be-mother-in-law..

"Hmmm!!! Yahan hoon.. kitchen mein..", I called out to her and she came in.

"Woah!!!!!! Yeh kya ho raha hai?!!
Parth tum kitchen mein...", She asked surprisingly.

"Yeah!!!!!
Actually maine socha.. ki teri friends aa rahi hain.. to main bhi kitchen mein thoda haath bata loon.", I said.

"I hope unko khaane layak khaana mil jaaye..", she giggled.

"Achha?!!!! What do you mean??!
I can't cook?!!!
Aaj ke khaane ki almost saari chopping maine kari hai..", I said.

"Oh!!!! And what about the khaana.. koi dish banayi tumne?", She asked as she laughed.

"Haan!!! Maine SALAD BANAAYA HAI!!!!!! Kya lunch ho sakta hai salad ke bina??", I said.. absolutely proud of my work.

"Salad?!!! Salad banaaya nahi jaata..
Woh readymade hi hota hai!!", She clutched her stomach and laughed uncontrollably.

"Bohot hasi aa rahi hai..?!! Lo!!!! Yeh lo!!!", I said and rubbed the pulp of a tomato on her face.
Phir kya tha.. we celebrated our own Tomatina Festival at home.
And we were throwing the tomato pulp on each other when the bell rang..
And the servant opened the door immediately.. without even giving us time to go inside and change.

"Uhmmmm!!!!!! Hum galat time pe aa gaye hain guys!!! Chalo.. we will come later!!", Mohini smirked and apologised dramatically.. looking at our dirty.. tomato filled faces.

"Chup kar!!!! Aisa... Aisa kuch nahi hai.. you guys come and sit..
Hum abhi aate hain..", Shivangi fumbled.

"Haan haan.. aaraam se aaraam se!!!
Achhe se.. saath mein.. ek dusre ko nehla ke aana..
Hum aapas mein baat karke bore nahi honge..
To tum aaraam se aao..", Ananya smiled mischievously and I threw a cushion at her.

"Parth!! Main guest room wale washroom mein jaati hoon tu.. apne room wale mein ja.", Shivangi said and I agreed.

She took her set of clothes and was going when she screamed softly..

"Aah!! Ouch... Parth!!"

I immediately ran to her..
A part of the tomato pulp has gone into her eye.. and they was itching and irritating her.

"Ruko!!!
Ruk jaao Shivi!!!", I said and held her hands to stop her from taking them to her eyes.

I took her to the washroom, cupped my hands and filled them with water.. and gently washed her eyes.. and face.

"Ab theek hai..?", I blew in her eyes to give her relief, kissed her eye softly and then asked.

"Hmm..", she replied as she opened her eyes slowly.

After changing.. both of us came out.. and after a brief session of teasing.. we sat down to chat.
The girls didn't get bored because Abrar "accidently dropped by"...

We were all sitting and discussing random stuff.. when Anamika began a rather interesting discussion..

"Suno phir woh Karan wali baat ka kya hua.. jealousy kuch kam hui tumhari", she asked me.

"Arre haan.. yeh sab ek plan tha..
Shivangi bas mujhe jealous karna chahti thi..", I said this and stopped.
I glanced at Shivangi for a moment.. as if reminding her of the kiss-dare, and continued..

"In fact.. kal na..?!....", And Yessss!!!!!!!
I was interrupted.

"Parth main Woh tujhe batana bhool gayi..
Subah se na Richa mami ka phone aa raha tha.. tujhse baat karni thi..
To ek minute aaoge..", she said and both of us went into the room.

"Parth tum pagal ho kya?!! Yeh baat kon batata hai.. it's so personal.. so private and intimate..", she said.

"Maine to kaha tha.. tu mujhe kiss nahi karegi to main bol dunga tere friends ke samne..", I smiled.

"Parth main aise kaise suddenly.. tumhe kiss.", she said awkwardly.

"Aise!!", I said and locked my lips with her's.
The kiss was longer than yesterday's...
It was beautiful, I must say.
After the kiss she just didn't utter a word, she just hugged me tightly.

"I love you!!", She whispered.. still in the hug.

"Love you too!!!", I replied.

And after that we went outside.

The topic of discussion had changed.. and so there was no problem. Everyone had forgotten that topic.
After a while, we all had lunch together.. after which we were again lazing around..

"Ab to hum ghar bhi aa gaye.. ab to humare gifts do..", Ananya asked.

"Peechhe hi pad gai hai yeh ladki gifts ke..", Shivangi facepalmed.

"Of course haan.. yeh lo!!", I said and went to get their presents from my room.

"Okayyyyy!!!!!!
So let's begin with Ananya.. sabse zyaada jaldi usi ko thi..
So Ananya!! This is for you..
I know that you're very conscious while travelling.. and love to dress up and all..
To yeh tere liye.."

"Oh shit!!!!! This is so cool!!!! Thank you handsome!!!", Ananya screamed excitedly and hugged me.

"Your most welcome gorgeous!!!", I hugged her back.

"Chhheee guys!!! Handsome... Gorgeous....
Aise kaun baat karta hai..", shivangi rolled her eyes.

"Arre!!! Yeh hai gorgeous.. main hoon handsome.. tu kyun jealous ho rahi hai..", I said to her.

"Main.. tujhse.. aur ANANYA se jealous... Rehne de.. meri jutti bhi tum logon se jealous na ho..", shivangi remarked in her typical punjabi accent and we all burst out laughing.

"So.. coming back to the gifts... the next one comes in for Manali...
Manali I know ki tu artist hai.. paint karti hai..
To yeh tere liye..."

"Wow!!!! This is nice!!! Thank you!!!!", She said and gave me a side hug.

"Welcome!!!
Agla Anamika ke liye..
I'm sure.. that being an avid reader.. tu ne yeh books padh hi li hongi..
But phir bhi...
Yeh collection tere liye.."

"Best!!!!! Iss better kuch ho hi nahi sakta tha..
Thank youuu!!!!", She replied cheerfully.

"Mention not Anamika!! And last but not the least..
Mohini!!!!!
Tu photography karti hai.. tere paas DSLR bhi hai..
Aur taaki tu hum sabke moments ko hamesha capture karti rahe..
Here's a waterproof bag for your camera.."

"This is so thoughtful Parth!!!
Thank you!!!", She came and hugged me.

"Ab ho gaye sabke gifts.. khush?!!", I asked them and as expected my girlfriend spoke..

"Aur mera gift!!!"

"Main!!! Main tera hi to hoon..
Ab mujhse better tu kya hi maang sakti hai shivangi...", I said as I rolled up my sleeves and everybody smiled.

After some time, everyone left and of course, Shivangi stayed back.

"Achha madam.. kal ka plan bata doon main aapko..?", I said to her when we lay in bed together.

"Haan.. batao batao!!", She said as she played with my fingers.

"So kal ka plan yeh hai ki...", And as usual, mujhe Shivangi ne bolne nahi diya..
Yeh ladkiyan I tell you.. kitna bolti hain..

"Abhi nahi.. kal ka plan baad mein..
Abhi mujhe neend aa rahi hai.. I wanna sleep..", she said.

"Okay.. as you wish my love..", I said and pecked her forehead.
And then as usual.. she cuddled me.. and we slept.

For tonight, I had planned something huge for her.. and I was expecting that she would like my idea..

A/N: And another update!!!!
Nothing much to say..
Hope you guys are enjoying...
Loads of love..
Happy Reading:)
