Part 16: Respect

" Arnav, " she called him innocently.

" Yes," he said and she hugged him.

" Thanks for bringing me here," she muttered.

" Any time," he said hugging her back with his hands laying on her back now.

She had a handful of snow on her hand, which he failed to notice, where she sneaked it inside his shirt from the collar.

Arnav felt his whole body shivering where he started dancing with the cold snow, sending a chill to his spine.

" Khushi, you idiot," he muttered as he danced and Khushi rolled in laughter seeing his expression and dance.

Arnav released his tuck from the shirt and tried remove the snow, but was not successful at all.

" Help me," he whined and she helped him off on removing the snow.

He felt a relief once the snow was out of his system, where he stared at her with fierce look.

" Sorry," she mumbled cutely and he took predatory steps towards her.

Khushi saw this as an effect and ran towards the car with all her might and he chased her and held her arms and crashed her onto him.

" Mrs. Raizada, you didn't do right," he  said.

" Sorry, sorry," she mumbled, where he tickled her on her neck.

" Arnav please ," she said not able to control her laugh.

" Revenge taken," he mumbled releasing her after he was sure that he had made her laugh to the extreme.

Both of them walked back on the remaining way to the car. Khushi's face was completely red due to laughing and Arnav had a mischievous smile.

She punched his shoulders seeing his wide grin along with his smile.

" Don't tickle me," she said with her flushed face.

" Oh my wife, does tickles bother you ?" he asked with a teasing smile.

She punched him once again and he laughed.

" I love tickling you," he muttered.

" Laad governor," she murmured as they both reached the car.

They hoped into the car and drove their way ahead.

Arnav stopped the car after driving an hour and Khushi could see a few jeeps parked on the road  where Arnav parked his car on the side.

There was a food shop and Arnav and Khushi went there and had their breakfast, Maggie noodles.

One thing about hill station, was the Maggie craze, where you get fresh Maggie and bread omlet only in any tourist spots.

Both of them were vegetarian and hence they decided to stick onto the option of Maggie.

Arnav and Khushi walked towards the counter and then a jeep driver followed them.

Khushi and Arnav both sat on the behind seat of the jeep as they started the way, driving on the road.

Khushi wrapped her arms around him and rested her head on his shoulder as they did go through the steep snow road, into the forest.

" Where are we going ?" she asked.

" To spot snow leapord," he said and her eyes widen.

" Is it possible ?" she asked.

" Hopefully," he said with a smile.
