The morning air felt sweet and fresh, with a tinge of the earthly scent mixed to it. The sun had already risen an hour ago, but was still hidden behind the lingering clouds in the sky; mixing their grey tones with the gentle golden glow of its own.

Aini stood in her room's balcony, her hands perched up on the wall as she silently gazed outside. Her green eyes reflecting the nature's serene atmosphere and her slightly flushed cheeks, added colour to the whole of the scene. Woken up not too long ago, she was still dressed in her night's clothes and her hair in a lose braid was resting on her right shoulder.

Her mind was occupied with the events of the previous night. Every word, every expression and emotions replaying over and over. The conversation had been an intense one, filled with raw emotions and unspoken truths; Fakhir and she have been engaged in many fights and clashes since she could remember... but never it had been like the one in past days.

Her senses go in overdrive as the picture of his eyes boring into hers comes in her mind, the way he had apologized, laid bare his intentions and lastly, his words "You are mine, just mine" seem to echo every now and then... bringing a warmth to her heart.

As she stood there basking in the morning's serene beauty and lost in her thoughts, she failed to notice the presence of someone else... till two arms came from behind rounding up around her shoulders and front, with a weight pressing on her back.

She jerked momentarily, but calmed down knowing who it could be.

"What are you doing here?" came the sleepy, hoarse voice of Fakhir

"Fishing" she replied, a playful smile tugging at her lips

"Hmm" came his deep rumble "Catch a big one then" he continued, as his hold tightened around her. His cheek rubbing across her hairs.

"If I'll do all the work, what will you do?" she asked, as she leaned into his embrace.

Fakhir chuckled, his breath warm against her ear "May be – relax, eat and enjoy" he suggested

Aini nodded "Right, your dream life... isn't it Shohar Sahab?" her voice tinged with a tease

Fakhir turned her around, backing her behind the wall and kept his hands at the either side of her, caging her in between.

His form a little bent over her, the gentle breeze playing with his tousled hairs and a peaceful expression on his face.

"Absolutely, but the list seems to be missing an important thing" he pointed out

She raised an eyebrow, and with the new found confidence she brought her hands up and around his neck, bringing him closer to her.

"Really... and what that could be?" Aini whispered
