20.

Staring at the grey clouds that just had poured their thundering rage out fighting with the rays of sun that wants to come out, a soft cold breeze blowing all over the town tightening the shawls around the shoulders of the people who have already started their morning in this beautiful town. Her eyes glimmer to wherever they stretch all she could see is the intensive beauty of nature calming her soul bringing serenity to her mind a soft smile stretched on her lips when she realised that her heart finds tranquillity in the wilds.

She tugs away the strands of her hair behind the ear sighing contentedly she walks into the room from the attached balcony of the rented villa they had booked for this trip.

The villa was beautiful it had the Victorian touch with modern amenities, high ceilings, a vintage chandelier, a huge drawing room, a stunning lavish green backyard with a gazebo, kitchen with a long dining table that was fitted for the family.

Mahableshwar is known for its lush greenery and exotic nature whether it be the Sahyadri mountains, lakes, wild forest, majestic peaks or breathtaking valley views it is one of the most famous hills stations in Maharashtra and Abidi's were all too excited to explore it.

Tying her thick silky hair in a low bun she walks towards the bed on which Arsalan was sprawled into a peaceful slumber. Zaid and Arsalan had been driving two different cars the entire night with Abidi and Kazimi family in it for straight six hours and reached the villa at the dawn. Everyone decided to have a nap till 10 before exploring this magnificent place.

There weren't many pillows left to make a boundary between him and her, nibbling her lips she looks around and her eyes fell on the pillows one pressed against his chest other two under his head and only one was left for her. Guess she has to sleep without boundaries today. So she lays down adjusting the dupatta on her as her comforter so that she doesn't have to disturb his sleep by using the only duvet covering him in a warm cocoon. Today he wasn't snoring and that was a relief for her.

She hears someone calling her name out, groggily opening her eyes she tries to focus on the face that was leaning too close to hers.

"Hello, sleeping beauty are you awake or do you need me to wake you up in other ways?" Arsalan says straightening from his leaning self.

Finally fully awake at his impolite way of waking her up she rolls her eyes at him while getting out of the bed pushing past him in the process.

"Whoa lady where are your manners?" he turns to face her whose back was to him busy gathering her hair in a messy bun.

"Lost it somewhere" she replies in an uncaring tone.

"So find it and glue it to yourself so that it doesn't get lost again," he said in a slightly irritated tone.

"Nope not interested not when it comes to you" she gathers her clothes in her hands after opening the small travel bag that has her clothes for this two-day trip she heads towards the attached bathroom.

"You really have a pretty big mouth-" he was cut off by her as she knew he was going to use some heated words to throw at her.

"Do not spoil my mood first thing in the morning with a baseless fight"

"Baseless fight? And I don't care about your moods woman you got to hear what I got to say whether it's baseless or not did you get that" he rumbles annoyed by the way she was responding to him truly ill-mannered but Sofia ignores him and shuts the door of the bathroom to his face and on his words "hey! I am not finished yet!"

Aggravated at her behaviour, he throws his hand in the air "what did I get myself tied to!" exasperated he stomps out of the room promising himself to get back to her.
