"I am falling in love...." Karan said softly looking at her from behind. She was quite a few steps ahead of them and couldn't listen to them. Wahi looked at him immediately.

"What?" He muttered looking at Karan and smiled immediately.

"Hmm...." Karan hummed and smiled softly.

"Then tell her....you already know that she has fallen for you....if you tell this to her she will be the happiest....and she deserves this...." He told sincerely.

"Not now yaar....i don't want to...." Karan stopped not knowing how to put his feelings to words. "You know i am a bit complicated....and i know what she feels for me....yes i feel the same but to say that now will be....will be like....kaise samjhau tujhe....it will be like doing it because she started to like me....but that's not true....i was attracted to her even before i figured out that she likes me...."

"You don't make sense....this will be the case always....tell her bhai....jitna nahi bolega utna late hota jayega...."

"Itni jaldi pyaar thodi hota hai....i don't want her to judge me....i don't want her to think that i am fooling around....you know my reputation...." Karan finally admitted the reason with honesty.

"Okay this makes sense....thik hai take your time....but jitna i know Teja....she will never judge you....but having said that i understand your concern...." He patted Karan's back.

"Kya yaar...." Teja looked back and shouted at them. They had been behind her and the distance had increased as they were talking and walking slowly. "Come fast....it is getting cold...." She rubbed her palm together.

"Haan ab burrito khaana ho gaya toh it is getting cold...." Wahi rolled his eyes and they both increased their pace and reached her.

*****

Karan unlocked the door of his room and inserted the key card in the electricity socket for the power to come. She came inside and locked the door.

It was an every night ritual for them to talk till late hours of the night in his room and then fall asleep on his bed.

"So you got affected seeing me flirt with that girl?huh?" He asked while keeping his wallet and phone on the coffee table.

"You want to go out in search of burrito again?" She raised her brows.

"Seedha seedha answer kar...." He looked at her with a smirk.

"Haan i got angry....so?" She said in a defensive tone.

"So nothing...." He shrugged. "Why do you keep talking about space and all huh?admit that you are territorial...."

"Fine I am....so?" She raised her brows again.

"I like it that way...." He winked at her and moved forward and opened the scarf from her head and took her clip away.

"Karan give my clip back...." She said in a warning tone.

"Take it...." He raised his hand up and she moved forward and tiptoed to take the clip and he stretched his hand more.

"Karan...." She whined and held his collar and tried to pull his hand down.

He smiled widely at her try.

"Stop making fun of me....i know i am short....give my clip back...." She hit him on his chest and he quickly wrapped his arms around her waist.

"Stop fighting with me laddoo....you will not win unless i let you win....i am six feet one inches and you are some 3 feet...." He said sarcastically.

"Shut up I am not three feet...." She frowned.

"Okay chal four feet....final...." He said laughing.

"I hate you...." She punched his chest with her little fists.

"If you say so...." He pulled her more to himself.

*****

They started off early in the morning and went to Matterhorn and did their shoot and then they had to take the Glacier express from Zermatt to St. Moritz.

They settled in their seats in the train. Teja sat by the window and Karan sat beside her. The journey would be around 8 hours and they will be recorded from time to time.

"This is so freaking beautiful...." She looked out the window. The entire stretch of land was covered in white snow as the train moved through the snow covered terrain of the Swiss Alps.

He looked at her softly as she kept looking out in awe.

They reached Andermatt station in sometime and it was snowing outside so they decided to get down and enjoy the snowfall.

Teja got down excitedly and jumped around happily.

"Teja slow down babah....you will slip in the snow...." Karan said loudly as she stretched her arms widely looking up and felt the snow.

Karan went and stood beside her and smiled softly looking at her face.

"I think i fell in love...." She said smiling widely with her eyes closed.

"With?" He asked immediately.

"Someone...." She said as her smile grew wider.

"Let's go in....the train will leave...." One of the guys from the creative team shouted at them and brought them out of their reverie.

"Let's go?" She smiled softly at him and he nodded sheepishly.

Everyone got inside the train as their journey resumed.

They reached St. Moritz by the evening and checked into their hotel.

Karan was rubbing his temple as they walked into the lift lobby.

"Karan are you okay?" Teja asked seeing him a little zoned out.

"Yeah yeah....just having a little bit of a headache...." He smiled a little and they reached their floor and went to their respective rooms.

Teja was not at all convinced. He didn't look good. She took out fresh clothes from her luggage and went to the washroom. She turned the knob for hot water but the water was not heated.

"Shit....the geyser is not working...." She went out and called the reception and informed them to fix her geyser.

"Should I go to adaa's room?" She muttered. "Anyway i have to check on Karan....let me go there...."

She quickly went to his room and rang the bell.

He opened the door in sometime and smiled a bit.

His eyes were red and drowsy.

"Karan....are you fine?" She asked again.

"Yeah yeah....come...." He went inside and she went behind him and locked the door.

"The geyser in my room is not working....i have asked them to fix it....so i thought i will use your washroom...." She said still looking at his face carefully.

"Yeah yeah please...." He said politely.

She nodded and went to the washroom.

"Is he not well?os something bothering him?he was fine throughout the day...." She frowned and freshened up.

She came out to see him laying down on the bed and he seemed to be asleep but was muttering something.

She frowned and walked near him.

He looked asleep but was moving his head restlessly and his lips were moving.

She bend down bringing her ear close to his lips and gulped immediately. He was taking her name. His ex's name.
