*Navya Pov*

I woke up listening to the sound of a door closing. I rubbed my eyes and saw that it is just 9. I know it is not early, but these four days after coming to New York, I am getting up very late that is past ten.

I looked around to find out he is nowhere. I even checked inside the washroom, but he is not there as well. I chose to freshen up and started tying my hair into a bun looking at the mirror.

Maybe he was required to be somewhere, but he could have told me right. Maybe he didn't want to disturb me! I thought and decided that would be the reason.

"Never I mean never think of good excuses to be the reasons for any..." Aunty's words rang in my mind immediately.

Ok, ok Geez! I will ask him when he comes back. I thought in my mind and waited to hear 'Good!' but I didn't.

I stared at the mirror again and then realized what I am actually expecting. I hit myself on my head and started getting ready.

I sat on the bed and started thinking where will we go today. I mean each day we went to a few places Divya showed and little on our own.

The next day, after Divya showed us "Romantic Places" like she said to only me, of course Suhas took me to 'Barbetta Restaurant' for dinner. I still can't believe it originated in 1906, and I even saw so many antiques along with a chandelier which actually belongs to an Italian royal family at one point.

But before that we went to 'Metropolitan museum of art' which was amazing and overwhelming. The Greek and Roman sculptures, Renaissance masterpieces and 18th century Chinese art. These all are so good to look at and know about them.

When I told this to Divya, she immediately said she showed that museum just because it is a very important place in New York, but didn't think we would go there as it is not the romantic place to go.

Nonetheless, I actually felt it was a romantic place because I held his hand in mine, and we walked near each sculpture or art. I get to know that his favorite subject is history, which I didn't know until then.

He explained everything to me patiently, and I just heard him. There was a shine in his eyes when he speaks of them. I seriously felt like I am going to faint then and there, but I didn't of course.

Because of that Divya and I had a small funny argument with her saying that it is not romantic while I just disagreed with her. I told her how I felt and everything, then she challenged us to go to the 'Rockafellar center'.

We did and then I immediately regretted my decision because it is nothing but skating, and I don't know how to do it at all.

However, luckily Suhas know and took me inside the unique skating rink holding my hands in his. I slipped many times so he held my waist tightly and taught me to do it.

I actually didn't want to learn that completely even by the evening because if I did, then he would leave me, so I stayed in his arms, but didn't learn it at all even when we have to leave the place as it is closing time.

He said after going to Mumbai, he will teach me even more properly, but I decided then and there that I will let him teach me, but I will never learn it in my entire life.

Making that decision, I suddenly felt new because I would never do that like never, but I want only to be in his arms. I am not doing a bad thing right? I thought, but then again, thought he is my husband so, no, I am not doing anything wrong.

Then yesterday we went to 'Lincoln centre' and heard New York metropolitan opera, which was performed at the time, we went there. And in the afternoon he took me to 'Central Park boathouse'.
