Haaniyah's POV.
"Finally." I said as we came down from the bus.

The cold air touched me and I shivered due to coldness. The view was taking my breath away and my excitement was overloaded.

"Its so beautiful." I said looking in front of me where i could see the mountains covered with white sheet of snow.

"Haider." I turned to see him who was with Kashan taking the luggage out of the bus.

We finally reached the Valley Kalam. All went inside the hotel but I was standing there looking at the beautiful pass ways. The roads were filled with snow and nothing could be seen more then the white blanket of snow around.

"Haaniyah come inside." Haider pulled me with him and I went in where Dad and,Baba were taking the room keys.

I stood next to Haider and keep looking around the hotel which was so beautiful with its wooden work and its interior.

"Haaniyah, Manahil and Shanze you three girls are going to share a room." Dad said giving me keys and I nodded while taking the keys from him.

"Haider,Kashan and Shahvaiz, here is your room key." Baba passed them their room key.

These three boys were going to share a room like we girls. Asad,Azam were going to stay together while Iram,Areeba and Zufi were going to share a room. I and Manahil walked toward the elevator but stopped when we didn't find Shanze coming. I turned to see her and stopped where I was. Because what I saw made me smile and I could see something which made me happy.

Shanze was standing with Shahvaiz, holding his shirt from bottom side in her fist like a cute kid. He was saying something to her and she was shaking her head here and there. Then I saw Shahvaiz cupping her face and removed her hair from her temple and pinched her nose making her smile. He said something which made her nod her head and then she slowly took step back and walked toward us.

"Hi." She said as she reached us

"Hi. Welcome." I said and she shake hands with me and Manahil.

We took elevator with all and went to second floor where our rooms were. Our room was 105 and the next door was 106 which was of Haider's room. I was happy that he was close to me. We entered our room and I smiled looking at the simple yet beautiful interior of the room.

"Finally I'm here. I'm so happy." I said and jumped on bed.

"Yes its so beautiful." Manahil said and I turned to see her who took off the curtains from the window and beautiful view of mountains appeared.

"Its so beautiful." Shanze's voice appeared and we both walked toward the window.

Far across, we could see mountain covered with snow. The trees and bushes among them were hidden in the white soft cotton,pulling us more to its beauty. The sky was clear from sun,with little clouds running here and there making our eyes to chase them.

"Let's unpack our stuff." Manahil broke the silence and I nodded.

We all took off our clothes and hang them in the wardrobe. Placing our things on their place, we all jumped on bed and lay together. We fixed our eyes at ceiling of room.

"Girls its going to be fun now." I said and both of them giggled.

"I wish I could go out there on the mountains." Shanze said and I turned my face toward her.

"I wish the same." I said and we both giggled and I realized that she was so cute and just like me and Manahil.

"Friends." I asked offering my hand of friendship.

"Friends." She said while shaking hands with me and then Manahil.

"Let's rest for sometime and then we'll roam around." I said and both nodded.

We pulled the blanket on us and Shanze went to pull the curtains. The room against dipped in the dark and she lay again. We were so tired of two days journey,so it was necessary for us have a sleep for now. We three were laying but I was in centre hugging my pillow with a smile,I closed my eyes to drift down in the valley of sleep.

Haider's POV.
"God I was tired." I heard Shahvaiz and turned to see him who just pushed the blanket away and stepped down from the bed but Kashan was still sleeping. I was looking at the views that was visible to my eyes through the window.

"What's the time?" Shahvaiz asked while yawning and took his jacket and put it on as it was quite cold here.

The December in Kalam valley was really cold and I was fully enjoying this cold. The freezing hands,and the cold air I just loved it all but I was amazed that why all went to sleep when we were to here to enjoy. Our parents, siblings and all girls slept instead of enjoying the weather which was so cloudy and beautiful.

"Its quarter past five." I said and he nodded.

I saw him going to washroom and I went to Kashan who was looking so cute while sleeping. Hugging the pillow, like he was hugging Manahil. A thought came in my mind and I smiled mischievously. Leaning on his face,I tried to stop my laughter.

"Kashan." I called him who smiled on my call.

"Manahil said..." I whispered in his ear.

"Manahil..!" He smiled like an idiot in sleep while hugging the pillow more.

"Manahil said she loves Kashan." I whispered and immediately moved back.

In just two seconds, it took for him to understand the words. On next second, he got up immediately looking around and I made a serious face.

"What happened?" I asked,acted to be unaware of what happened.

"I..I..heard..that..that.." With that stuttering words,a stupid smile touched his lips which were a symbols of we idiot lovers.

"What you heard?" I asked pretending I don't know anything.

"That Manahil...is..she....I mean she...I..." He was stuttering and I was laughing in my heart.

It was confirmed that this stupid fellow was in love and was so desperate to tell her everything.

"Did you heard Manahil loves you?" I asked and his eyes widened.

He narrowed his eyes at me and I laughed all I was controlling.

"Haider." He said and hit me with the pillow.

"Isn't what you want to listen?" I said and his hand stopped.

He walked down from bed, avoiding my question. I followed him and we both stood in front of window.

"So should I think that you are still after my Haaniyah?" I asked him who was looking in front of him,to the mountains.

"Haaniyah!" He smiled with her name.

"That story how disappeared from my life I don't know." I heard him and I smiled.

"Because someone else entered with new story in your life." He smiled on my words.

"There's nothing like that." He said and turned back.

As he was running from my questions. I knew this feeling. The first ever realization to yourself that make you worried for your own feelings. Sometimes,it happens with all when we felt these feelings knocking on our heart and we got worried as what we are feeling and why. And it make us more tense when someone else asked question about these feelings.

"Running from yourself?" I asked but he didn't answer.

"What's happening?" Shahvaiz asked as he stepped out of the washroom.

"Nothing." Kashan said and went in the washroom to freshen up.

"What happened to him?" Shahvaiz asked going to the wardrobe.

"Nothing." I said and stepped toward the door.

"Where are you going?" I heard Shahvaiz asking.

"Going to see girls." I answered and stepped out of the room.

The next room was of girls. How much they slept. Its was going to evening and they were sleeping since morning. I was amazed. I knocked on the door and waited. But no answer. Again I knocked. But all silence. Three more times, I knocked on the door but I thought all three of them got deaf that they didn't heard the knock. Sighing, I stepped back and went to the first floor of hotel. I was getting bore. My parents,siblings,friends and my wife all were sleeping. Is this a picnic? Are we on a trip? But I didn't think so. It felt like they were at home,enjoying their sleep.

I went out of the hotel to feel the coldness and as I stepped out,a stock of fresh air touched my face making me smile. It felt so good. The road were wet with small drops of rain. I moved ahead went to look around. The passing were covered with snow and I bend a little to touch the snow with my hand. It felt freezing my hand as it was so cold but it made me happy too.

I walked on the road looking the surrounding. Many people were roaming around. I could see the tourist and many other people. After few some time,I turned and start walking back to hotel.

I reached in the hotel and saw Dad standing on the reception. I went to him.

"Dad." I called and was happy that he was finally woke up.

"Where were you? I was asking for you." Dad said as he looked at me.

"I just went out to check around. And you have spent all day in sleep." I said while moving with dad toward restaurant side.

Me and Dad entered and I looked up. I saw everyone there enjoying coffee and tea with snacks. I sighed and walked ahead.

"Where were you gone?" Mom asked and I shook my head as nothing.

I looked around to find my girl in them. And then my eyes caught her who was sipping coffee and was smiling on something. Her pink cheeks,that beautiful smile and bright eyes caught me to them. I just for few seconds to keep looking at her who was looking so cute in pink dress with a black jacket on it and her dupatta was wrapped around her neck making its one side to hang ahead on her shoulder.

"Come to your senses now." I startled on the voice and saw Kashan smirking.

"I'm in my senses but are you?" I asked him and he nodded.

"Fully." His answer made me chuckle and we sat together on a table.

We were never friends. Never ever but now it seems that the bound of friendship start knotting us together. I found him a good person to be friend with if he's not that arrogant Kashan.

"Okay listen everyone." We looked at dad who called us all.

"Tomorrow I want everyone ready on time. We'll start our journey to see this beautiful valley and its surrounding from tomorrow. So be on time. We'll be out at 9 of the morning." Dad said and I nodded while all cheered happily.

Later on, we all just keep talking and spending our time with each other. I looked at her who was busy in talking with her friends. We all had our dinner but my eyes were on her who almost forgot about me. Not for once, she looked at me.

"Now everyone take rest. See you in the morning." Dad said and I huffed annoyed.

Who takes rest on a trip?!!

And they all slept whole day then how they will sleep again. This thought came in my mind. I looked up at the girls going back to the stairs when an idea came in my mind.

"Haaniyah." I called her who was about to go.

"Yes." She replied and walked to me.

Her pony tail moved here and there,creating an urge to open it and play with her hair inside me. I controlled myself and averted my eyes for a second.

"Are you girls planning to sleep again?" Kashan asked and she nodded her head as yes.

"Oh come on. Who sleeps on picnic?" I asked and she pointed toward herself.

"Me." Her answer made me pout and she giggled.

"We are not going to sleep. Let's play something." Kashan said and in meanwhile Manahil and Shanze joined us.

"Yes let's play something. It will be fun." Shanze said happily and Manahil clapped.

"Let's go then." I said and we all walked to girls room.

"What should we play.?" My Haaniyah asked as she opened the door.

We all boys stepped in the room. Lights turned on. We all settled down on the ground. Boys in front of girls. But my eyes were just keeping my girl in my eyes. My Haaniyah who was bringing a bowl of dry fruits. I was watching her actions. Tugging her lower lip between her teeth,her pony tail moved here and there while she walked toward us with that bowl.

"Come to earth." Kashan's whisper brought me back and I smiled and looked away.

Placing the bowl in centre,Haaniyah sat in front of me.

"What should we play now?" Asked Haaniyah again.

"Bingo stop."

"Truth or dare."

"Passing the parcel."

"Hide and seek."

All of them said while I looked at shanze who suggested hide and seek.

"Hide and seek? Seriously!" I said and all we laughed.

"Sorry." She said looking down.

"Its okay." I said and again looked at Haaniyah.

"What you suggest?" I asked her.

"Hide and seek." She said and my eyes widened.

"Seriously.!?" I asked and she nodded.

"No we are going to play truth and dare." Kashan said and I saw him looking at Manahil who averted her eyes to other side.

"We'll play Truth and dare." We all boys said and girls looked at us.

"Hide and seek." All of them said in a chorus.

"Truth and dare."

"Hide and seek."

The fight started. And girls were ready to defeat us.

"Truth and dare." I said looking at Haaniyah.

"Hide and seek." She said and moved ahead crawling on her knees.

"Truth and dare." I said moving closer to her on my knees.

"No we'll play hide and seek." She said while moving closer.

I could see her cheeks tinted pink and her pony tail moving with her move. I moved closer that there was just an inch distance left.

"Hide in my arms and I'll seek you." I whispered to her that only she could hear.

She startled on my words and I winked at her.

She pushed me back and moved back on her seat while I almost laughed looking at her pink cheeks.

"We are...not playing anything. All of you go now." Haaniyah said and stood up.

Manahil and Shanze also got up.

"But why? Let's play something." Kashan said but I also stood up.

"What happened Haaniyah?" I asked while smiling.

"Nothing. Girls push them out." Haaniyah said and both of the girls nodded.

Shanze held shahvaiz's arm and Manahil went to Kashan. My Haaniyah moved to me and one by one all girls pushed us out of the room.

"This is unfair." Protested Shahvaiz and me and Kashan nodded.

"Yes. That's unfair. How you pushed us out." Kashan said and I saw Haaniyah coming out,standing in the doorway.

"Boys everything is fair in.." She paused and looked at me.

"In?" I asked while taking a step closer to her.

"Everything is fair in fight and Haaniyah." She said and giggled while closed the door on my face.

I was stunned and shocked. I turned to Shahvaiz and Kashan who chuckled looking at me.

"Dude its better for us to get back to our room." Kashan said but I could see how they were enjoying my condition.

"Now sew what I'm going to do." I said and knocked the door harder.

On the first knock,the door opened.

"Now what?" Asked Haaniyah and I narrowed my eyes at her.

"You'll know." I said while she smiled and that time I wanted to steal that smile from her lips through my lips but I stopped myself.

"Really Mr Haider. Then I want to see what you'll do." She said and was about to close the door but I pushed it back and stepped in the room.

"What the.." She said but I pushed her toward the wall and covered her mouth with my hand.

"You look beautiful when you get shock." I said and kissed. her forehead.

"Manahil pass me her shawl." I said to Manahil.

She nodded and  passed me her shawl. Holding her hand,I pulled Haaniyah with me.

I saw all of them shock that I stopped for a second.

"What? I'm taking my wife with me." I said and winked at them.

"Haider listen.." Haaniyah tried to say but I pulled her with me and walked out from there with her.

We walked down from the stairs and went out of the hotel in the garden.

"Haider where are we going?" I heard her.

"To play Hide and seek." I said and looked around.

It was 12 of the night and almost everyone was in sleep. Tip toeing toward the gate,I pushed it a little and pulled Haaniyah out with me. Thankfully guards were not there. There was all dark. The road was empty and passing sides were filled with snow. We slowly start walking on the road.

"Now?" She asked but I didn't say anything and keep walking with her on the slippery road.

"Haider." She called me ad I stopped.

Turning to her,I smiled and she looked at me with question as she didn't understand the meaning of my smile.

"You want to play hide and seek. Then here we go." I said and spun her around.

Haaniyah's POV.
"You want to play Hide and seek. Then here we go." He said and spun me around.

Blinking my eyes,I stopped and looked in front of me where I didn't find anyone. I looked around to find him but he was nowhere.

"Haider." I yelled his name.

But he was not there. I got scared. In this dark and midnight, I was standing on the road all alone. The high mountains around me were scaring me. The slow voices of insects,the noise of trees and the cloudy sky,everything was scaring me. I didn't know what to do. Where to go.

"Haider come out please." I said walking ahead on the road.

I was looking around to find him. On my right side,there was a cliff along with road and on my left side,a huge mountain. And I was stuck on the tiny road between these two dangers. I didn't know where to find him.

"Haider." I almost ran on the road to find him but there was no one around and even not a place to hide then where'd he go.

My eyes start getting wet and I was ready to cry. I thought to turn back and moved back to the hotel.

"Maybe he went back." I mumbled to myself but didn't know where to move.

I was stuck on this scary road and I didn't know which way to lead.

"Haider where are you?" I yelled looking around.

I cried and sat there on the road and keep crying.

"I don't want to play." I said with tears.

"You lose." I heard and looked up and stood up happily.

"Haider." Calling him,I hugged him tightly.

He hugged me back and I felt a new life awaken in me. The peace ran in my heart.

"What happened? Didn't enjoy hide and seek?" He asked and I moved back.

"You." I said and pushed him back.

"You think its a joke." I said and slapped on his face.

"Haaniyah." He was shocked on my slap but I was going to give him more.

"What Haaniyah! How dare you to do this." Saying that I slapped him again and keep moving toward him who was taking steps backward.

"Listen to me first." He tried to say but I didn't stop.

"I almost got a heart attack with you this trick." I said and again slapped on his right cheek.

"Haaniyah listen.." He tried to say and stop me but I didn't stop.

"You are very bad. I hate you for this." I said and cried while slapping his chest and shoulders.

"Ahhh." I startled on the voice and looked at him who slipped from the cliff.

"Haider." I yelled and tried to hold him but he disappeared.

I froze where I was.

Haider fell!!

I was blinking my eyes to find him,to see him.

"Hai...der." I called with trembling heart and I went closer to that cliff.

My body was shivering and so was my heart.

"Nothing...will happen." I said to myself and leaned closer to the cliff.

I leaned closer to that cliff which was surrounded with dark. My feet slipped with snow and I was about to fall in the cliff when I felt someone holding me wrist. I was pulled back and I closed my eyes tightly.

"Haider." Sobbing,I keep calling him.

"Is here." My eyes snapped open on the voice.

His smiling face was in front of me while I was in his arms which were wrapped around me protectively.

"Haider." I touched his face to believe that he was real

"I..I thought...you.." I stuttered while many tears escaped from my eyes.

"That I what?" He asked while wiping my tears.

"That was a drama?" I asked coming to my senses.

He chuckled and keep caressing my cheeks but I was getting angry. I was so worried for him and he was enjoying all this.

"How dare you to to all this." I pushed him back,freeing myself from him.

"I thought you fall. You know this only this thought was enough to kill me that anything might happened to you and you were enjoying all this. I was about to die and you were playing with me." I said and sat on the ground and keep crying.

"Hey Haaniyah." He called but I turned to other side and keep crying.

"Sorry." He said but I didn't look up at him.

"I'm saying sorry na. And you can slap me again for my mistake." He said and I looked up at him who was seated in front of me with ears holding.

"Sorry." He said and I held his face in my hands.

Moving closer,I start kissing his face crazily. On his cheeks again and again where I slapped.

"I'm sorry." Whispering, I kissed his forehead and hugged him.

"I love you Haider." I said and he pulled me completely in his arms.

"Love you Haaniyah." He whispered in my neck and I smiled.

I moved back and looked at him who was smiling. Touching his cheeks with my hand,I gave a caress and looked at him.

"Is it hurting?" I asked but he held my hand and kissed it.

"No because your touch never hurt me. It gives me tingles in my heart and smile to my lips." He said and again kissed my fingers.

"Now get up." He said and held me and we both stood up.

"But promise me you'll never leave me again." I asked and he held my hand.

"I won't. I'm yours and you are mine. Only mine. Haider will be with Haaniyah always." He said making me smile.

"Always." I said and hugged him again.

"So you enjoyed Hide and seek?" He asked and I playfully hit his chest and he laughed beautifully.

"Let's go now." He said and I nodded.

I wrapped my shawl around me as the cold start increasing because snowfall started. I looked up and saw small soft cotton like snow falling on us. Holding each other's hands,we walked back to the hotel.

"I'm thinking to have a date on this kind of night with..!" He stopped and I turned to him.

"With?" I asked.

"With one of the beauty of this Kalam valley." He said and winked at me.

"You." I yelled and ran after him who was running to save himself.

I held his arm and punched it.

"Don't you dare to look at any other girl. You are mine only mine." I said and held his hand while he smiled.

"Oh Acha(really). Then Mrs Haaniyah Haider." He suddenly stopped and kneel down in front of me and brought his hand forward.

"Would you like to come with me on a date?" He asked,giving me a surprising shock.

Smilingly, I held his hand and gave a nod to him.

"Anywhere with you Mr Haider." I said while leaning a little on his face.

"Thank you my love." Kissing my tip of nose,he said and I giggled.

He stood up and again we start walking on the huge road. There was all silence again. I looked at him who was busy in himself. I looked at the passing ways filled with snow. Bending a little, I took some cold ice in my hand and threw it on him who startled on this sudden attack.

"Happy snow falling Haider." I said and again threw some snow on him and ran.

"Save yourself now." He yelled and I felt him running after me.

I yelled with laughs and ran faster but he was fast and held my arm but at the same time,my feet slipped and we both fall on the snow. I freeze under him because he was looking at me without blinking which made my breath to stuck in my chest.

"Haider move. Its so cold." I said and tried to push him but he moved closer.

"Its difficult now Mrs." He said and before I could knew it was being attacked with bunch of snow on my face and neck while I was giggling and trying to save myself.

Laughing,he stopped and we both keep smiling while looking at each other. Slowly,he start cleaning my face from that snow which was falling on me and then his hand moved to my neck,making my breath to stop. I knew his touch was not going to be simple. Slowly, he start removing cold ice from my neck but his touch was more sensuous that burned me.

"You remember about the debt,I have to pay with interest." He said and my eyes widened.

"Its going to start from tonight." He whispered while leaning closer.

I looked around to find anyone. We both were crazy. I mean at midnight, on road,on the snow,he was talking about the bites. But thankfully, the road was clear of anyone and due to dark,we were hidden in that snow.

"Ha..ider." I called him and was about to stop him but he put his finger on my lips.

"Shhh.." Saying,he leaned on my neck and as his warm breath touched my skin,it burned.

My eyes closed down and his other hand went to my shoulder and he slowly removed my sleeve making me gasp. Touching my shoulder with his lips,he kissed it and I fisted the snow due to the sensations he was giving me. Where he just kissed,I felt him pinning his teeth and I hissed in pain. But it was not that pain but pleasurable pain which increased my heart beat. He bite on my shoulder again,harder this time which made me hissed again. Then I felt his lips soothed the place where he just bite,making me gasp and he moved back but I didn't open my eyes.

"Look at me." Cupping my face,he said and I slowly opened my eyes to see him.

"This was first instalment." He said and winked at me,making me go all red.

I pushed him back who laughed and I pulled my sleeve back on my shoulder and wrapped my shawl around me. I stood up and he joined me. My body was shivering and so was my legs. My heart was going crazy. I never knew,he would do this.

My bold Haider.

"Let's go my shying beauty." He said and held my hand to pull me with him.

I smiled and matched my steps with his. The first day of our trip was not that bad. Actually, he made it beautiful and romantic. I looked at him who was smiling while looking at the sky, feeling the snowfall on his face. I smiled and we both stepped in the hotel hand in hand.
