Writer's POV :-

It was early hours of a beautiful morning...the sun was yet to rise....the usual blue sky was shining with the pretty red hue...and the pleasant cool breeze -  making the atmosphere more cosy.

Cosy! Yes, the two bodies were wrapped together in the most coziest way, sleeping soundly... forgetting the rest of the world... tightly holding on to each other as if their lives depend on this very moment.

With his hands across her waist, face in her hair and legs entangled together with hers.... Aakarsh's comparatively large frame was caging Diksha's petite figure in his iron like grip. A blow of cool wind made Diksha snuggle more into him seeking the warmth of his arms which she was receiving unknowingly. She snuggled more into his neck hiding her face.

Ignoring the movements, Aakarsh held her bit more closer. But soon a frown appeared on his peacefully sleeping face as the soft body which he was holding was continuously moving disturbing his sweet sleep. He opened his eyes and his sight straight went to the person he was holding. 

The splendid morning view with Diksha being in his arms made his heart flutter. He, for a minute, thought it to be a dream...but soon he rubbed his eyes with his free hand and again looked at her...yes, he couldn't believe how they slept together that too snuggled up closely. But was he complaining?.. Oh of course not!

He noticed her beautiful features which was looking more beautiful at this very hour...the red hue on the background was complimenting her white glowing skin...her soft cheeks was adorning the tinge of redness as if the sky had shared it's colour to make her the scarlet beauty...the prettiest. Her naturally pink lips which has a prominent black mole under it was looking more luscious now. Some soft locks of her hair strands were spread over her pretty unlined forehead and soft baby like cheeks. Ah! What a sight to see in the morning!

Breathtaking!

Aakarsh took a whole minute to capture this breathtaking sight in his mind. He with his calloused fingers put those strands of hair behind her right ear which was restricting his view till now. He felt a current passing down his spine when his fingers slightly touched her baby soft cheeks. Her glowing face was looking extremely beautiful at this negligible distance between them....oh boy! How did he wished his every morning to be like this.

When Aakarsh was busy admiring the scarlet beauty in his arms, Diksha stirred in her sleep. A cute frown appeared in between her dark eyebrows. She opened her eyes only to meet with the black orbs staring down at her face. She, at first didn't get the scene but as soon as their posture and surrounding did sink in...her eyes widened  and a low gasp escaped her lips..she immediately shook him a little. Aakarsh came out of his reverie as he was lost in those shining brown orbs.... Diksha was the first one to break the silence.

"How...how come are we like this....?" She asked indicating their posture with her index finger.

"How would I know..?" Aakarsh said in his morning husky voice still staring deeply in her eyes.... If not yet, then she definitely had a thing for his husky deep morning voice, now...she stared at his face admiring his features. 'How can someone look so charming even in with the morning -- just awaken -- look'...she thought to herself...

"Oo..okay.." she sighed and looked away trying to remember last night's event so that she can conclude how they ended up snuggling....but alas, apart from him drifting in deep slumber keeping his head in her lap and she stroking his hair till sleep engulfed her... nothing unusual came in her mind.

She came out of her thoughts when Aakarsh touched her cheek with his rough fingers. They both felt the current running down their spine at this additional and intentional contact between them apart from their entangled body.

He kept his head over hers and again touched her right cheek, stroking it lightly causing her blush growing one shade darker in red. With closed eyes they were lost in that very moment... their moment! They themselves didn't know what and why were they feeling this specific fluttering in their hearts...but apparently none of this seems to be wrong.

"This isn't doing any justice with those red linings of sky...." He huskily whispered in ears stroking her cheeks comparing the redness of her blush with the red sky.

She blushed more... something which was very unusual for a fierce girl like her...but there was this thing about him which was bringing the best out of her. She tried to speak but no word came to her mind.

"Good morning" he again whispered but this time planting a soft kiss on her forehead causing her breath stuck in her throat. Already his morning voice was too much for her, now his actions weren't helping either. She took a sharp breath before opening her eyes.

"Good morning" she said looking straight into his eyes. They were again so lost in each other's eyes that they didn't see the sun coming up slightly.

As it was early morning...the house staffs were already up. One of the helpers turned the radio on to listen to the early morning programs and songs. The RJ wished the public and played a romantic number.

"Resham si hai yeh hawaein sanam

Aao zara paas aaye sanam

Resham si hai yeh hawaein sanam

Aao zara paas aaye sanam

Jaage jaage armaan hai jaage jaage hum...(x2)".  (The YouTube video link is in the media box)

The cool breeze hit them as the song pulled them out of their lovely trance. As if the lyrics seems to be the most perfect for this exact moment...it had them all blushing. Aakarsh bit his lower lips preventing a  smile on her reaction as Diksha couldn't hold their gaze any longer - after listening the lines; she looked away trying not to smile. Indeed the song suited their moment!

"Umm... humein niche chalna chahiye (we should go down)... Our parents must be searching for us." She said in a low soft voice...but her words seems to have no effect on Aakarsh as he continued to look at her with great intensity.

"It's still dawn... nobody is up.." he said again putting some strands behind her ear.

"Still...we sho..." she couldn't complete her sentence as Aakarsh put his index finger on her soft plump lips.

"Sshhh..."

"Your cheeks are soft... like a baby.." he said stroking her cheeks with his thumb pad.

All his gestures were making it difficult for Diksha to breathe and calm her racing heart. His condition was no different; she can feel his increasing heartbeat. Being so close to each other they can easily tell what the other person was feeling, but they stayed silent -- not to spoil this special feeling with a few unimportant words.

"Aakarsh..." She gathered some courage to call him after some good 5 minutes of beautiful silence.

"Hmm" he just hummed in reply as he was quite busy in admiring this beauty in his arms.

"Let's go down... please... someone might come here...the sun is already on the verge of rising..." She said wiggling in his arms to get free.

"Okay...if you say so.." he exhaled a heavy breath in sigh and loosened his arms around her.

He got up first and helped her stading up. They took their phones and kept it in the pocket after looking at the time. Diksha was about to enter her room when Aakarsh stopped her holding her wrist.
She turned to face him with a confused expression.

"I don't know how we ended up that way...but it's just... please tell me if you're uncomf...."

"Sshhh...I know what you are trying to say and trust me I'm not...so don't run your mind unnecessarily... some things don't need an explanation in life....we should leave it as it is..." She answered his query without being asked making his heart flutter more.

"See you in the office.. bye" making her wrist free from his grip...she waved and closed the door.

"Bye" he said to himself and chuckled at her behaviour.

Diksha's Pov :-

It was evening the office hours were almost over. I was working on the assignment when my phone pinged with a text message.

*Are you free..?*  -- Potato faced Chimpanzee

Oh yes, I had saved his number with this name only. Except sometimes, he's always the same - a Potato Faced Chimpanzee.

'Oh really!? Then I wonder whose face you were admiring this morning and found it quite charming?' My subconscious mocked.

'Shut up!'

'sure...' she laughed on me making my eyes roll at myself.

*Why..?*

*just asking!* -- Potato faced chimpanzee

*No, I'm very busy...you see our boss here, has given us an assignment to complete not only that...that PFC challenged my talents...so you know I have to prove him wrong...so I'm very busy..* I typed gritting my teeth as o remembered his challenge. How dare he doubt my abilities.

*Ohh, that's so sad! Seems like your boss really don't know what danger of a person you are....;-);-):-D
P.S. what's PFC?* -- Potato faced chimpanzee

See that's what I was talking about...he still has the audacity to mock me and laugh at me even after knowing how pissed I am. Huh... he's really a potato faced chimpanzee.

*Why should I tell you.?*

*Hey, you can't just talk in abbreviations... especially when the other one is not aware with.*  -- potato faced chimpanzee.

*I'm not gonna tell you...do whatever you want to do...*

*Is that so... okay, just wait and watch what I do...BABY;-);-)* -- potato faced chimpanzee

The nerve of this man...how can he call me baby...eeerrgghh...

*I'm gonna kill you with my bare hands...how did you say that word?*

No reply!

*I'm asking you something!*

No reply

Errgghhh! Arrogant jerk, moron.. what the hell does he think of himself.

I was about to text him again when Vivaan sir came panting as if he had ran a marathon.  Everyone was looking at him as he eagerly searched for someone. His gaze stopped on me and he came closer to my desk only to inform loudly that ---......
