Mahira's POV:

I woke up early morning in our cute homestay and I don't know when was the last time I had been this excited.

"Rishab uth.", I shook him, a little violently because we don't have time for '5 minutes more' today.

"Thori der aur please!", He said in a very sleepy voice.

"Aakar so jana please.", I said. He sat up straight but his eyes were still closed.

"Uth gaya. Happy?", He said.

"Very!", I kissed his forehead and ran to the bathroom. I was wearing his clothes again.

"My clothes have cheated on me. They look better on you.", Said rishab coming out of the bathroom.

"They love me more maybe.", I said and he stood behind me. I could see him in the mirror.

"No they love me more, and since I love you so much, they also love you.", He said very cutely.

"Okay you win.", I said and tightened my ponytail.

"And I can't believe the day is finally here.", I said, wrapping my arm around his waist.

"Same. We had been planning this for so long.", Rishab said.

"I just told you recently only, mere bucket list me kabse hai.", I said and he nodded.

We had breakfast together and then headed to the base of our trek.

"Ho jayega na?", I asked him and he nodded

"It's the same as tomorrow, we'll take a car on the way back.", I assured him even though he wasn't very nervous.

"Yes yes let's go.", He said and we started the trek. It was a very steep slope and I had packed energy drinks and a lot of dry fruits.

"Yesterday I told you so many stories, today is your turn.", Rishu said to me.

"Okay. What do you wanna hear?", I asked him.

"Anything. Just your voice.", Rishu said and I rolled my eyes.

"As this one is our final destination. Let's plan our next trip.", I suggested.

"Okay, you decide where kyuki main to is mamle me illiterate hoon.", He said making an innocent face.

"I really wanna go to Finland again, and see the Northern lights.", I explained to him and he smiled.

"Okay then, this December?", He asked me and I thought for a second

"It's beyond cold in December rish. You know that arctic circle passes through finland also right?", I asked him and he shook his head.

"It would be even more fun then. What all did you do there?", Rishab said.

"A lot of things, you name it. But my favourite was ofc rovaneimi and chasing the northern lights.", I said.

"How do you chase them? Do they run away from you?", Rishab said. What even!!????!?!?!?

"Rishab they aren't visible everywhere, you have to find them.", I said in between waves of laughter.

"Oh and what about that rov...rov...what?", He made the most innocent face which made me go heart eyes.

"Rovanieme. It's the capital of lapland, northern finland. It's known as the official hometown of Santa Claus.", I told him, fascinating isn't it?

"Don't tell me you have met the real santa claus?", He asked me with widened eyes.

"Well I don't know how real he is but his name is Old St. Nick. And his wife baked us gingerbread.", I flaunted and rishu glared at me.
