Flourishing together

Chapter -16

Song: Happier by Marshmello

The next morning , I slipped back into my suite leaving his unwillingly. Our next destination was, Brunswick Monument a taste of historic nostalgia. It was built in memory of the former Duke of Brunswick, Charles II who bequeathed his fortune to the city of Geneva, also the breathtaking view could be seen of the city and the Jet d'Eau fountain. I found all of our colleagues busy and joyfully doing this and that , Sheena called me over, " Hello mam, please come over here , you will get the best view of the fountain if you want to click pictures of it."

"You take my phone and click good pictures for me." I shouted so that she could hear me properly. Some minutes after, she came over and took my phone and went over to click photos for me and the naturescape there. Everything felt perfect , as if curated for me by god. I felt finally my life was going back to happiness which I craved so much since her death. She was the only good thing that had happened to me and will ever happen, after her Shawn is the person I can rely on wholly. Which is what made me remind myself, where is he? I have not seen him since today morning after breakfast. I have to find him without making a chaos. Least, to be said, yesterday night was magical and felt like lights descending from heaven on a starry night.

I started to call him and after one ring he picked the call. Without letting me speak he uttered, "Cupcakes, I am joining you soon until then stay with the group and go back to hotel with them."

I tried to utter, "But Shawn-"

The phone beeped making me aware that the call had ended. I have never seen him this tensed while speaking with me or anyone else and this is making me worried , what could have happened that he wanted to join all of us late , when he is the most enthusiastic of us all and also officially an authorised person for this trip?

Still, letting the thought and the situation slide we did the sightseeing and ultimately went to the nearest restaurant for lunch. To my surprise, which I really was not expecting , he joined me. He joined all of us with a enthusiastic smile and energy as always, but his eyes spoke a lot and it told me something clearly was not right and now or later there will be consequences regarding that. When he caught me staring, he asked by taking me in a secluded place after lunch, " What happened Prati?"

I answered, "Nothing."

"I think something is clearly bothering you and I know that."

"You know nothing, babe. Seriously, nothing, just was thinking after some days, the vacation will be over and that hurts me , I won't be able to spend time with you as I wish and like how we are doing now."

He hugs me ebbing all my tension away and says, " You know cupcakes, I won't let anything come between us and will prove that in time" , kissing my temple.

I looked at him, he is appearing today as if he is trying to cope up with a situation which is severely disturbing him and he is not being able to tell me , you know a girl's sixth senses they inform you most likely what might happen and most of the times it is absolutely right, so, that is what is informing me and I guess I am right. "You want to go somewhere, I know a place around here." He suddenly informs me. Jealousy perks up inside me and the mysterious air he was keeping around him made me feel so mad at that point of time , so I sarcastically remarked, "With whom have you been to Switzerland before , huh?"

"I can sense jealousy from here , you know that?"

"No, I am not jealous."

"You already know that I had three exes but never travelled this far with any one of them and I just feel only this special when I am with you and no one else, others made me feel sick after a certain period of time and I too started to make less efforts for them and the relationship started lacking communication and that is how everything ended , my dear Prati."
