Valentine's Love||justwriteit

Chapter #8

Ruhana and Vineet reach Bangalore as the latter has a meeting therein. His wife is oblivious to all the plans that he has made, prior to Valentine's Day. They are much in love and Ruhana never complains about anything to Vineet. They are one happy couple, but now, he's up to something and he wants to please his beloved.

Vineet blindfolds Ruhana and she whines at the moment. He's been hiding things from her all week and now he is hindering her view of him. He might not do simple things but she knows that he loves her deeply and passionately. He's taking her somewhere about which she is totally clueless. She makes faces at which he laughs out loud making her whine again. He kisses the top of her head and comforts her that she will love the view that she will witness in a while. She can't deny the sweet request of her beloved. She knows he will do the best for her and she can't do anything other than wait to reach their destination.

Six hours later, the car stops at a place. Vineet glances at his wife who's fast asleep and her head is resting on his shoulder. He smiles. He blindfold her and when she fell asleep, he removed the same to have a look at her calming face. Yeah, for him, she's the driving force and his peace at the same time. He kisses her head and it breaks her trance. She opens her eyes and closes them instantly as the sun's rays fell on her eyes. She adjusts her view and opens her eyes only to find Vineet smiling at her.

She looks around and finds that they are in a hilly area and she is astonished. She gazes at him questioningly and he shrugs his shoulders. They get out of the car and she's left mesmerized by the view in front of her. They seem to be on a hilltop. The sun is setting. The orange-hued sky is looking beautiful. The cool breeze is flowing at the moment and is giving them chills. Vineet holds her hand and they move forward while Ruhana is mesmerized to see a waterfall — Abbey Falls.

The Abbey Falls are situated amidst coffee and spice plantations and they flow into the Kaveri River. They're situated at a height of 21 metres high. The Abbey Falls are cordoned off by a fence and the visitors have to climb about 150 steps to see the close view of the waterfall.

Ruhana is mesmerized seeing the view right in front of her. She cups her own face and jumps on her toes out of excitement. She looks at Vineet and hugs him excitedly.

"This is so beautiful, Vineet." She chuckles fixing her gaze at the waterfall again.

"I know! I told you, you'll like it." He beams at her.

"I am loving it, Vineet. This is really beautiful. Can we go near it?" She asks him and he nods assuringly.

"Let's go! We'd see it closely and then we can go boating too." He beams at his wife and she chuckles like a little baby.

"You're so sweet, Vineet. I am surprised. But....but you had a meeting, right?" She asks him.

"Yeah! But nothing is as important as you." He says as he side-hugs her and they begin to walk away.

"Aww! You're so sweet! And yes! It's Valentine's Day tomorrow! Hey! Are we here to celebrate....?" She looks at Vineet and he smiles softly.

"You'll get to know everything soon. Just enjoy the waterfall for now," he says and they walk towards the waterfall.

Ruhana is thrilled at the moment. She entangles her hand with his and they intake the beauty of the surroundings. The sound of the falling water seems like music to her ears while the scent of the wet mud is tingling her nose. She's chuckling every now and then. They sit on the bank watching the water falling from a height of 21 metres. It's soothing at the moment.

They sit there for a long time until the sun sets fully and they click some pictures. It's been a merry moment for them until Ruhana begins to feel a little cool. She glances at Vineet and he holds her hand, taking her towards their car. He directs the driver and they begin to drive away. Ruhana is astonished and she knows that she's going to have the best trip of her life.
