Chapter 16: Holiday (last part)

Meera's pov-

I woke up having one of the best sleep of my life. I was feeling so relieved and it's like a huge rock has been out from inside. I am so lucky to have Krsh in my life. I was always afraid to voice out my concerns since I didn't want anybody else to be in trouble because of me, or they take anxiety because of my trivial problems. But I never knew that sharing your concerns matters to someone so much.

I recalled whatever happened in the past week, how Divya manipulated my mind, how much I have ignored Krsh because of this and the days which were supposed to be spent together were not, just because of my overthinking. I am feeling so embarrassed, how can I be so dumb and so stupid, I should not mind what anyone is saying. Now I have decided what will matter to me is only Krsh, what he thinks of me and what he expects from me.

The forehead kiss was so special. I have been replaying in my mind ever since I have been awake. It felt so pure and intrinsic like he has been showing all his feelings for me through that kiss. I was feeling giddy and happy. I should do something for him, something special. Since only 2-3 days are left, I want to make these days special and memorable.

I looked towards my right to see Sakshi already awake and holding her laughter seeing me. I frowned, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Like what?" she replied.

"Like a clown."

"That you are." Now she was laughing non-stop and I just threw a pillow at her.

"Okay I stop. But you tell me, why were you smiling like you won this world so early in the morning," she asked me.

"Nothing just like that only."

"Nothing or something or should I say someone."

I looked at her wide eyed and became red like a tomato. "Now don't be so shocked and turn into beetroot. I have been seeing you for the last 15-20 minutes. You have been awake and just laying like that looking at the ceiling and smiling like a maniac, thinking I don't know what but I want to know but looking so much in love. And also don't think I have not seen you going to his room last night."

My eyes couldn't get bigger when I heard her and realization sunk to me that I have fallen in love with him. I. LOVE. KRSH. And so I hid myself inside the blanket I was covered in and said from there only in a muffled voice, "you are so shameless Sakshi and we didn't do anything whatever you are thinking, also I was not smiling like a maniac."

"Uh-huh, that's why you are in that blanket. Anyways I know you scaredy cat can't do anything, even a kiss on the cheeks, so I believe you."

I put my outside the blanket and looked at her with narrowed eyes, "What do you mean by that? I am not a scaredy cat and I can do anything, don't challenge me."

"I am not challenging you. I am just stating facts."

"Okay then I accept this challenge of yours and will show you what I am capable of."

"Waiting for it eagerly, now let me sleep some more. Go from here."

I then made my way to the washroom taking my today's outfit with me. All the time I was in, I was thinking about the challenge but then suddenly I thought about what I decided to make him feel special. I got ready fast and changed into my clothes.

I then made my towards kitchen and since it was very early, only Lata chachi and chacha, Krsh's mother and father and baba was awake. I went to them to take their blessings but they stopped me from touching their feet and just patted my head.

"Beta, why are you awake so early, you should be sleeping right now?" dad asked me.

"I was just not feeling sleepy anymore so thought to make breakfast for everyone."

"But for that we are there na beta, you go and do your work." this time ma said.

"No ma, I insist let me do this and anyways I am free and I want to so please let me." I made little puppy eyes to convince her and she had to give in.

I entered the kitchen and scanned the whole of it to see what I can make with the available items and specifically Krsh's favorite. Yes I wanted to make him feel special by cooking for him his favorites the whole day. So I decided to make aloo paratha (flatbread) with chutney and dahi (curd) for breakfast as he loves it. I also made tea and coffee as preferred by others. I was just hoping that because of him being a fitness freak, he doesn't deny.

By the time everybody got gathered for breakfast, everything was ready and what was left was to serve. Dadi has decided that everybody will serve themselves so that no one is left and we all eat together. I saw Krsh taking one in his plate and I was sitting exactly opposite to him and I waited for him. He took a morsel in his mouth, I was seeing his very move, but his expression gave none about how it was. So with the gloomy mood I got back to mine and was eating.

"Mom, this is amazing and so tasty. You just made my day."

"I know it is Shanaya, but I didn't make your day, Meera did."

"What does it mean?"

"Raghav, I didn't do all this but Meera did. She woke up early just to make all this and decided today everything will be cooked by her and I must say that this is the most delicious aloo paratha I ever had."

I looked down when I felt a certain pair of eyes on me. With a lot of courage I looked up and found him already looking at me. He was having this smile which I couldn't decipher what it meant. As everybody was done eating and telling me how much they loved it, they went. But mom said to look after Krsh if he will need something, so here I was standing beside him to see if he needed something else to be served.

"Why did you wake up so early when we went to sleep so late?" I was hoping he would say something about how the food was but instead he asked something and that sounded so wrong that I blushed very hard. He came into realization after looking at my face so he cleared his throat but didn't speak further.

"I-um, I was not feeling sleepy much and I wanted to do something for you."

He was done by now and went to keep his plate. I was running after him with a napkin in my hand and turned to me after washing his hands. We were at the back of the kitchen and alone might I add.

His eyes lingering on me, "Why Meera? Why did you want to do something for me?"

"I just...you have done so much for me and I just wanted to make you feel special like you always did and make me feel in every moment when we are together. I wanted to do the same for you. I know it's not much but I will try to be more efficient from now onwards."

"Meera... god!!!! How much more will you make me fall for you even though I am falling every second but this is not done yrrr. I also want to make you fall for me."

"Krsh, what are you saying, you are the best and I want to be the best for you. And you don't know how much I have fallen for you." The last line was slightly inaudible to him since I didn't want him to just know that I love him like this. Suddenly I started feeling nervous because it suddenly hit me and seeing me, he continued.

"By the way, the breakfast was delicious but there was one thing missing." I was confused and started to think that I made sure nothing was missing. I looked towards him to see that he was at my eye level and then his mouth made contact with my ear lobe, "It would have been more tasty if you had fed me with your hands." and kissed lightly there and went away.

I was still dazed and feeling goosebumps about replaying whatever just happened. I was just thankful that nobody saw us or else I would have not been able to make eye contact with a single person present. I calmed my racing heart down because it can't take so much information at this much speed.

First the realization that I love him, then hearing him say those words and on top of that, the kiss. Oh my god!!! It is so embarrassing that I like it and still want more of it. Meera just stop it, my inner conscience mocked me and I knew it was time to come back to reality and behave normally. Yeah, it happens between people who are going to get married. It's completely normal.

After a few more lines that calmed me down I went outside and sat beside Sakshi. She was messaging someone and had a worried look on her face. When she looked towards me I asked with my eyes what happened and she just shook her head so I just had to show her my eyes that I am serious and I want to know. So she said she will tell afterwards.

I then looked towards Krsh to find him already looking at me. Looking at him I realized that I want him to know how much I love him but I can't. Because to tell him, first I want him to know all about my past, about my nightmares. I want him to know me inside out and for that I have to be brave enough to voice out my struggles. And I can do that because I have full trust in Krsh.

It was decided that nobody will sleep today as only two days are left and everybody wants to enjoy it so we will have fun and play games at night. The day went very quickly and night came soon. As decided, I prepared the lunch as well as the dinner. For lunch I made tadka dal, rice, raita, chapati and gulab jamun. Since everybody will remain awake for dinner, I decided to make rajma chawal. Also in all this I forgot about the challenge that was given by Sakshi and thankfully she also forgot about it. Right now the youngsters as in we were busy in making the arrangements of today's night special. I was arranging the pillows on the bed made on the floor.

Everybody was gathered and decided to play passing the parcel, in this case it was the pillow. The music was turned on and Rohan was there to stop and play the music. One by one everybody's chance came. Dad had to show how he told mom that he loves her and I can see where this romanticism is coming from in Krsh. Then came baba's chance and he sang a song and it was damn good. Like this some performed by telling jokes, some by dancing, some by acting. I was just thankful that my chance didn't come because by the time it could everybody was tired and they started talking. And they talked for hours.

In between all this I got a message and opened it to see it from Krsh, I looked up to see in his direction where he was signaling me to open it and went away.

'Come to the terrace.' the message said. I only told Sakshi about it and went away by saying that I was feeling tired and sleepy.

I reached the terrace to see him already there, hands on rail, looking towards the moon. It was a full moon night today. It is a little cold as winds are also blowing, I should have brought something warmer with me. He felt my presence and turned around, forwarding his hands to me. I walked towards him slowly and when I reached him I took his hands in mine and a shiver ran through me. It felt warm and I felt fuzzy. I looked towards our joined hands and I felt his gaze on me. We were standing there, no one talking. It was looking like the silence ws form hours but it had only been a few minutes. "I have brought something for you." I looked towards him scrunching my eyebrows when he said. He took his hand that was behind his back holding a pair of bangles, I saw when we went to the temple we first came here. "Why?" I could only say this.

"Because I wanted to and I guess these are your first love too."

We both laughed listening to him and I forwarded my hands to him, "If you have brought it, then you should make me wear them also". Listening to me he was shocked and for a few minutes was standing still, then took the bangles from me and one by one made me wear them. "So beautiful". I heard him saying so subtle that if there was not this much silence I wasn't sure I could hear him. Suddenly there was a cold wind that blew, making me shiver and put my arms around myself. He suddenly took me in a hug. His both arms wrapped around me providing me the much needed warmth. His chest was so hard, my ears were close to his heartbeats which were running fast.

"Now you will not feel much cold for now and if next time you feel cold I will hold you much tighter." he said, making me hide more in his chest.

Whole night went like this. Though we sat down also, Krsh brought some blankets and sheets to be sat on. He wrapped the blanket around us as such, I was sitting having my back touch his chest. We watched the moon, talked and as the sun rose, we both were looking into each other's eyes not wanting to look away, both in the hope of meeting next time sooner and not wanting to end this moment.

But we had to before that someone sees us like this. I went to the room finding Sakshi asleep since it was very early, I also went to sleep for some time.

The next time I woke up, everyone was busy packing stuff. The day went quicker than we thought and it was time to say goodbye to this beautiful place and people. Before I could realize we reached Mumbai.ย
