They reached the top of the hill before sunrise,Pallavi parked her vehicle in the parking lot.raghav hopped off the vehicle along with pallavi as they joined rest of the group

Group headed towards particular place in the hill where sunrise looks beautiful the famous sunrise spot. All of them along with other crowd assembled and waited for sunrise.many of them got the snacks,they shared among themselves as they waited for the sunrise.

Sun raise was beautiful,the darkness changed to light within a fraction of second.they enjoyed the sunrise,people were cheering and enjoying it, many took photos.soon afterthe event, they sat on the green grass to relax for some time,every one were so enthusiastic to see sunrise,once it is done they were enjoying bantering around each other.

Raghav scan the area and stopped once his eyes caught pallavi.she was with nandini and suresh on the other side.both nandini and pallavi making fun of suresh and he was blushing and trying move from them,but they said something which made him stop and he slumped back on the grass between them as they started teasing him again

When they were married they never got a chance to roam around,they were so held up in one or other problem,they  had to cancel their trip outside many times.this was the first time he was out with her but in a different circumstance

They were enjoying the day when it started to drizzle,every one ran around to some safe area, so they could protect themself from the rain

Raghav looked around and spotted the place with shed enough for dozen people, where all of them could stand and shelter themself from the rain,he immediately ran towards it ,once he got settled he called everyone so they can protect from the rain

One by one everyone joined him and started to stand below the small shelter,Pallavi reached the shelter and about to go stand next to nandini,but raghav caught her hand moved her next to him at the end,as he stood next to her,every one so distracted by the rain no one noticed what he had done

They watched the rain and it given new notion to their trip as everyone one enjoying it.taking a deep breath of the cold air,pallavi shivered as she wrapped cardigan tighter around her

Raghav was speaking with other people next to him,when he sensed pallavi was feeling cold,he put his arms around her and started rubbing her arms,while engaged in conversation with others.as pallavi was at the corner and he was bulk,any one could hardly notice her presence next to him.

After some time it stopped raining  and every one started roaming around.for memory everyone were taking photos and videos around.suresh called everyone to assemble to take the photo. They took lot of selfies.raghav observed in every selfie or videos pallavi distanced herself or hid behind nandini.he has not said much but it started bugging him.

They reached parking lot and took their vehicle and started for downhill journey,nandini informed pallavi she would be staying weekend with her aunt house and her sister visiting her their.she was excited to meet her sister after a long time

While taking down path, road was curvy and lot of traffic around.they reached the bottom of the hill and everyone said bye and went in their own path.

Pallavi and raghav rode in silence,when they come across restaurant,raghav asked her to park and have a breakfast as its already nine in the morning.

She parked the vehicle and they made their way to the restaurant.pallavi was tiered so was reaghav.they ordered dose and idli and  pallavi finished the food as soon as they served her.

She was about to get up and go out,when raghav held her hand and asked her to wait as he ordered filter coffee for them.she sat back and waited for the coffee

Pallavi really enjoyed this side of raghav.he is caring and observe everything about her. After her breakdown in the office he is more protective of her.she knows it is temporary  but she wants to enjoy it as long as it lasts.

After enjoying the coffee in comfortable silence they returned to parking lot to get a vehicle, raghav asked her to give a key so he could ride it.pallavi was exhausted as the excitement of the trip waned,without saying anything pallavi handed over the key to him as they started again

..............................***.......................................

Pallavi woke up in the evening,she was so exhausted she skipped the lunch.after a much needed sleep she felt fresh and hungry.not in a mood to cook anything,she decided  to go out and have some food.even nandini was not their to accompany her,nandini called her before she went to sleep and informed her she would be back by Monday. Not having any company pallavi decided to go out on her own

Pallavi got ready and locked the door and started taking stairs down to the hall when she encountered pale raghav and he was sneezing continuously,Pallavi rushed towards him and asked him how was he.

He looked at her and showed the medicines in his hand  "I am ok,will have medicine and I would be alright by tomorrow" saying that he walked past her

Pallavi turned around and followed him back and asked "have you had any food atleast "

"No. But only thing I need is medicine and I have bought it" saying that he unlocked his home door and went inside and he did not wait around to find out what she was doing.

Making up her mind pallavi went back to her apartment,prepared food and filled it in a box.made fruit juice for him and poured it in a bottle,so he can drink whenever he was hungry.

She knocked on his door  and waited for him to open the door.he opened door and looked at her and the box in her hand and gave enough space to her pass inside and closed the door behind

Pallavi placed the box on the small table infront of the couch and told him "raghav I know you have not had anything from the morning,even in restaurant you hardly had anything. please have the food"

He made a face and said "I am not hungry,you take it back as I am not going to have it"

Rolking her eyes at his childishness.she carried the food to a small kitchen and opened the container,placed the food in a tray.poured a juice in a glass as she marched back to the hall with tray in her hand,whole time he was just observing her movements without saying anything.

He was sitting on the couch, she pulled the small table towards him and sat on the table, infront of him, taking a spoon full of rice,placed it infront of him to have it . But he did not budge

She placed the tray aside and took juice in her hand and kept it near his mouth,still he has not responded he just turned aside.

"Raghav we can play this game all night,I am not going to move from this place till you eat" saying the she kept the juice back on the side of the table and glared at him.

After long time of glaring match she  took back the tray try to feed him again hoping he wouldn't refuse again but to no avail.

He took the tray from her hand hid it behind him."hand the tray to me raghav at once, otherwiseit it will spill" she said angrily.

He moved the tray infront and took a spoonful of food and placed it infront of her mouth,Pallavi sighed in frustration but had it.once he was happy she had enough food, he started eating food in silence
