Sachin and Ruhana left for shimla. Ruhana was excited enough, as Shimla was a spot she always wanted to visit. She had a constant smile on her face. He looked at her…
“Badi khush lag rahi ho? “ he asked.

“hongi kyun nahi? Hum Shimla ja rahe hain. Wahan toh main kabse jana chahti thi. Aur ab tum mere sath ho toh maza bhi doguna hoga. “ she said.

He smiled and put his arms around her shoulders…

“Maza toh aayega hi. “ he said as he took her inside the airport.

Within few hours, they landed in Shimla. All the bookings were already done on Sachin's name. A man came to pick them up. Ruhana was surprised…

“Ye sab kya hai? You've booked everything?” he asked.

“I didn't! Dad ne kiya hoga. “ he said.

Ruhana made a face…

“aapko kaam se fursat kahan?” she said.

“abhi fursat hai… Ab Chalo. “ he pulled her hand and they followed the man.

They reached the hotel, it was Clarkes Hotel, one of the top most hotels in Shimla. They entered in and Sachin asked for the booking. The receptionist gave them the key and they moved towards their room which was on second floor. They took a lift upstairs and Ruhana unlocked the door. She entered in and Sachin followed her. He unlocked the door. Ruhana was flabbergasted to see the royalty of the room. She peeped outside the window and could see clouds. It was beautiful. She turned to Sachin, who was sitting on the bed…

“Sachin let's go out please. “ she said.

He looked at her…  

"we'll go in the evening. “ he said.

“bahar kitna acha mausam hai na. Chalo na! “ she said.

“Ruhana its noon. Sham ko jahan kahogi wahan chalenge. “ he said  cupping her face.

She glared at him…

“ tum akele jana fir. Jao mujhe tumse baat nahi karni. I hate you. “ she said and settled herself on the bed, opening a magazine that was kept in the room.

He looked at her and extended his hand towards her but she slapped it..

“Stay away Major! “ she said.

He moved closer to her and snatched the magazine from her hand…

“but i can't stay away,. “ he said holding her hands.

“Main naraz hoon. Aur mujhe tumse baat nahi karni. “ she said.

He smiled at her antics..”acha chalo, ready ho jao. “ he said.

“ab mujhe nahi jana. “ she said lying on the bed.

“tum kya bachchon jaise baat karti ho? “ he said.

“tum ho na serious type. Kaafi hai. Mujhe nahi banna tumhare jaisa. “ she said glaring at him.

He sighed and sat beside her, putting his arms on her either sides. He bent towards her and caressed her cheeks…”tum jaisi ho mujhe pasand ho. “ he said.

She smiled and looked at him while he sealed her lips with his. She moved her hands in his hair while he entered inside her mouth while kissing. She followed his lead. They broke the kiss when they needed air to breathe. She blushed while he pulled her in his warm embrace.

They freshened up and went to the hotel restaurant for lunch. After that they moved out of the hotel packing some useful things in the bags. Sachin blindfolded her.

“Ye kya hai? “ she asked.

“surprise hai tumhare liye. “ he whispered in her ears.

She shaked her head while he held her hand and led her way. They sat inside a cab and began the drive.

Ruhana turned herself towards him..

“Hum kahan ja rahe hain? “ she asked.

“Patience ruhana! I bet you'll love the place. “ he said.

She smiled… “toh ye patti kyun bandhi hai? “ she asked.

“so that you savour the beauty of what i want to show. “he said.

She kept her head on his shoulder. After an hour, the car halted. He helped her come out of the car. He told the cab driver something and he left. Cool winds were blowing. He removed the cloth from her eyes. She was flabbergasted to see the surroundings, a snow island, you could say. Snow clad mountains made the view ever so beautiful.

He hugged her locking his arms in her waist…

“this is Kufri. Shimla ka sabse famous  tourist spot. “he said.

“this is beautiful. “ she said keeping her hands on his.

He brushed his lips on her nape. She flinched with his touch, and freed herself. She held his hand and started moving towards the mountains.

Yeh Haseen Vadiyan Ye Khula Aasmaan
Aa Gaye Hum Kahan Aye Mere Saajna

She pulled him towards herself and locked her arms in his neck.

In Baharon Me Dil Ki Kali Khil Gayi
Mujhko Tum Jo Mile Har Khushi Mil Gayi

He cupped her face…

Tere Honthon Pe Hai Husn Ki Bijliyaan
Tere Gaalon Pe Hai Zulf Ki Badliyaan

She downed her gaze out of shyness while he twirled her around.

Tere Daman Ki Khushboo Se Mehke Chaman
Sangmarmar Ke Jaisa Ye Tera Badan

She freed herself from his grip and moved forwards. He followed her. She turned around and pulled him along..

Meri Jaan-e-jaan Main Teri Chandni
Ched Do Tum Aaj Koi Pyar Ki Raagini
Ye Haseen Vadiyaan Ye Khula Aasmaan
Aa Gaye Hum Kahan Aye Mere Saajna

He held her hand pulled her closer.

Ye Bandhan Hai Pyar Ka Dekho Tute Na Sajni

She nodded her head negatively and kissed on his palm.

Ye Janmon Ka Saath Hai Dekho Chute Na Sajna

She turned around while he held her dupatta.

Tere Aanchal Ki Chaaon Ke Tale
Meri Manzil Mujhe Mil Gayi

Teri Palkhon Ki Chaaon Ke Tale
Mohabaat Mujhe Mil Gayi
she twirled around. The scenic sights, the cold weather and the beautiful snow sceneries made her excited.

Yeh Haseen Vadiyan Ye Khula Aasmaan
Aa Gaye Hum Kahan Aye Mere Saajna

She looked at him. He was talking to a tourist. She made a snow ball and stroke it towards him. It hit his shoulder. He turned around and she winked at him naughtily.

He bid adieu to the tourist and walked towards her. He held her hands while she crushed some snow on his face. He looked at her while she was laughing seeing his irritated face. She locked her arms in his neck.

Jee Karta Hai Saajna
Dil Me Tumko Bitha Lu

He pulled her closer and kissed on her head…

Aa Masti Ki Raat Me
Apna Tumko Bana Lu

She snuggled closer to him keeping her head on his chest..

Uthne Lage Hai Toofan Kyu
Mere Seene Me Aye Sanam

He parted her and cupped her face..
Tumhe Chahunga Dilon Jaan Se
Meri Jaanejaan Teri Kasam

Yeh Haseen Vadiyan Ye Khula Aasmaan
Aa Gaye Hum Kahan Aye Mere Jaan-e-jaan

She was twirling around out of happiness…

“this is so beautiful. Thank you. “ she said while looking at Sachin.

He smiled.. “i told you, you will love it. “ he said.

She shaked her head..

“ yeah! I loved it. But not more than you. “ she said.

He smiled and pulled her in his embrace, as they strolled around  the place. She rubbed her arms as she was feeling cold.

“Mujhe shawl rakhna chahiye tha. Its cold here. Hamara samaan kahan hai? “ she asked.

He smiled

 "wo bhi ek surprise hai. “ he said.

She glanced at him.. “aur kitne surprise hai? “ she asked.

He put his jacket around her shoulders…

“surprise nahi bata sakta na meri jaan! “ he said.

She stopped on her tracks when she saw a couple beside a bonfire. She smiled looking at them. He followed her gaze and pulled her with him..

“chalo! I've got something to show you. “ he said.

She followed him and was left surprised to see the view before her.
