Aradhana's POV

"I have been here for the last 15 minutes," he answered. I frowned because I hadn't seen him when I entered or when, I stepped outside.

"You know how to swim, right? Then how did this happen?" he asked, his gaze roaming over me. I gritted my teeth, frustrated that he always interrupts me. I took a deep breath and coughed a little.

"This water, but wait—"

"How did you know that I can swim?" I asked, narrowing my eyes at him. I don't recall telling him, so how did he know?

"I just do," he shrugged, and I sighed, realizing he wasn't going to change. As I glanced around, I blurted out,

"I fell backward and... I wasn't prepared for this. I mean, I never thought this would happen and I wasn't even alert to my surroundings," I admitted, looking around. Before, I had been standing near the railing, admiring the beautiful setting sun, but now, I sighed.

"And why did you scream?" he inquired.

Then, I felt his hands encircle my waist.

"Arey-" My words faltered as I was dipped into the water for a few milliseconds before resurfacing, floating. No, no he was swimming backward, and there I was, on his front, floating along. The water caressed the sides of my body, enveloping me, and I found myself enjoying it.

I giggled, holding his hand that was wrapped around my waist.

"Rana sa," I giggled more, as he dipped us into the water and then resurfaced. I was thoroughly enjoying it.

"One more, please," I requested, and he obliged, moving from one corner to the other. It felt so surreal and delightful; I could even see the setting sun, and that too with,
