A week has passed by..
It seems like time is running faster than it's usual pace..
Today morning I've completed my first painting... Initially I thought it would take more time to get finished.. But it took only one week..
I guess I should thank Randhir for this.. He's been a great help..
It doesn't feel like I'm with him since a week only... It feels like we are together for ages...
I didn't know I could be this much comfortable with a stranger..
Stranger..??
He isn't a stranger for me in any way..
The very first time I saw him, I didn't even feel his was a stranger..
And now after spending a week together I surely can't address him as a stranger..
The weather is chilly here..
Sun does shine here, still this cold breeze is enough capable to prick your flesh and hit your bone..
But the warmth of Randhir's companionship never lets me freeze..
We are together all the time.. It's only our sleep and bathroom business which separate two of us just for a few hours..
He always takes care of me..
And he never gets annoying whenever I behave like a kid or irritate him or throw tantrums.. 
He knows sometime I irritate him intentionally and then pretend like I'm innocent.. Still he doesn't get mad at me..
He always handles me with utmost care.. Sometimes he makes me feel that I'm some baby..

"Hey.. It's cold here.." I hear his voice from behind and next a warm shawl gets wrapped around my frame...
"You should be careful, Sanyukta..
I've never been in this kinda climate.. You will catch cold.."
"Nothing will happen to me..
You are here.. I know you won't let anything happen to me.."
I don't know why I say all these things..
I've noticed that my mind can't or doesn't wanna control my words when they are for Randhir..
It feels like they come by their own..
He's starting at me.. with blank eyes..
"Yep.. I'll never let anything happen to you.." he cups my cheek with his left hand.. ice cold left hand..
Today is the first time he touches me..
And again.. His touch too feels familiar.. But at the same time his cold hand felt extremely weird..
Within a few seconds he withdraws his cold hand from my cheek but it feels like I'm missing some warmth..
Strange.. Isn't it??
"By the way I came here to ask you about the lunch..
What do you like to have for lunch.." before I can think any further, he asks me..
"Let's have lunch outside today.. We've finished the first painting, so let's do a small celebration.."
I want to see Mussoorie market as well..
Please.." I show him my puppy eyes..
"You know what.. You actually don't need to make puppy face whenever you ask me to do something..
Cause I'm not gonna say no to you anyways.."
"Eee.. That's mean we are going..
Yayyy..." I'm so excited...
"Only if you wear warm clothes.." his voice is stern...
"Yeah..!! Of course..!!" I grin...
"OK then.. Get ready..
We are going out.."
.
.
.
and I hug him..
"Actually it's not a hug.. You literally throw yourself on him.." my inner self throw me a tight lip sarcastic smile..
But she is right.. I just throw myself on him..
And he stumbled upon his feet..
I can feel him becoming stiff but still he's holding me by my waist so that we don't loose our balance and fall down..
He doesn't hug me back..
And for some reason I feel bad about it..
So I immediately distanced ourselves..
"Sorry..!!
I just got a bit excited.." I chip in a small voice tugging my stray hairlocks behind me ears..
"Chill..!! That's fine..
Don't be embarrassed.." he ruffles my hair..
And his this gesture instantly makes me grin..
"God..!! This guy never fails to make me smile.." my inner self sighs..
"Now.. Get ready.." and he leaves the room with a smile..

I'm so tired mahn..!!
I just want to sleep now..
Today was hell tiring.. But we had a lot of fun...
I'm so happy..
My eyes are dropping.. They can't hold themselves anymore..
So I lean back on the passenger seat further and sleep putting my head on the glass window of the car..
.
.
.
Umm!! I can feel some movement..
But I'm too tired to open my eyes..
Randhir?? I know it's him..
He and his chilled body...
"Sanyukta.. Come here.. Lean on me.. Your neck will hurt like this..." I hear him saying..
But I'm incapable to obey his words..
And now I'm shifting..
I don't know what's happening..
Oh.. Randhir.. His cold body.. His fragrance..
Am I leaning on him??
Umm..!! I guess yes..
Now I can't feel any other movement..
It's just me and my sle..
.
.
.
Again some movement thins my slumber..
Why it feels like I'm flying..
I part my eyelids a little.. But even for that I struggle a lot..
But my struggle is worthy..
After all I can see Randhir..
Holy cow..!! I'm in his arms.. He is carrying me..
Oh lord..!! I'm so freaked out from inside..
I'll do crazy dance tomorrow..
Cause my tired body doesn't have the power to show my emotions in action..
All I can do right now is to snuggle more into him..
And I'm doing the same closing my eyes..
But in no time I feel my back touching the soft mattress of my bed..
I groan mentally..
I don't want him to leave me..
But he does the exact same thing..
He's leaving me..
I'm feeling like crying now..
"Please don't go..!! Please..!!"
And then I can still feel him.. He is still here..
He haven't left me alone..
Not this time..
Sitting beside me he's caressing my hair..
And I'm slipping into deep..deep slumber..
