Rahul's P.O.V.....

Dropping them off at the airport, I gave them strict instructions to take care of themselves before hitting the road. I somehow was not feeling good at all after coming back to office. Whole day I had too much of missing feeling inside and was unable to concentrate on my work. Still I had to do since I was the one who wished not to see my love for sometime.

I tried to keep myself occupied with the file that Uncle Vinay gave me. I read it very thoroughly, I found few errors in the terms and conditions and also few more legal advices were needed. Finishing the day's work I went to a bar at Cannaught Place where I had a meeting with another client. I kept my phone in silent and did not even bother to check if anybody called me. I was late to home that night and my thought on Meera suddenly rushed in. I pulled out my phone from my trouser and saw there were zero missed calls from Meera and ten missed calls from Tania. I called her back immediately climbing the stairs to enter my room. She did not asnwer my call. I again called her after I took bath and changed my clothes.
She must be sleeping already...
I thought looking at the wall clock that showed 11:30 and was just about to hang up. It was then my call was answered 'hello' I heard the familiar female voice of Meera! I wanted to ask how she was but instead asked 'where the heck is Tania?'

'Sir she's sleeping!' Replied Meera in a heavy tone.

'Okay!' I said but wanted to talk to her more. Was missing her whole day.

'Shall I wake her up sir?'Meera asked me.

'No...don't you dare wake her up' I was loud.

What the hell? Why can't I ask her how she is...? Why am I feeling so rude with...she did nothing wrong....gosh I miss you so much my love....

I did not speak anything further and she too did the same. I still could hear her heavy breathing.

'Hope all is fine in there?' I finally asked her after waiting for five whole minutes. I did not get any reply 'hello...Meera' I said a couple of times. All I could hear was her heavy breathing.

Gosh.... is she sleeping?!! Unbelievable! Wake up Meera....I miss you so much my love...I want to talk to you. ....wake up!

I kept talking to her in my mind but not a single word came out and then I just gave my love a silent smooch over the phone before hanging up. I began feeling good after the tiny interaction with Meera after a gap of so many hours. There was enthusiasm in me back again after the dull day I spent at the office. I was smiling lying on my bed and could not stop thinking about her. I kept imagining about how she was lying on the bed and was even imagining myself lying next to her.

You truly are magical meera....and I can't stop loving you....no matter who so ever comes in my way....you are mine!!

Meera's P.O.V......

We found the taxi as we exited the airport, that had the sticker which Rahul sir mentioned about. All four of us boarded the taxi. Those three girls were talking nonstop from the time they met at Delhi airport. I was silent, some times I heard their conversation and sometimes I enjoyed watching the scenic beauty that which I never saw. It was so mesmerizing making me forget the entire world. The cool breeze, the greenery over the slopes of those mountains was so refreshing. In between we even passed a dam and a long tunnel before we reached Manali.

Our hotel was situated a bit far away from the main street and main market, it was close to a temple and had a spacious parking with many kinds of flowing plants surrounding the building.

'hello ma'am welcome!' Said the receptionist.

'Yes we have a booking on the name of Rahul Oberoi!' Said Tania. I just wondered how confident she acted even at a place unknown to her.

I need to learn so much from her....

'Yes Ma'am! May I know who you are?' Questioned the receptionist standing behind the huge wooden semi circular desk facing the lounge where we kept our luggage. I was already shivering.

Tania pulled out her ID and showed it to the receptionist.
'Welcome ma'am! Mister Vikram Oberoi is our finest patrons!' He said handing over the key cards.

We were given two rooms with a door in between those rooms. A bell boy brought our luggage and left with a five hundred Rupee bill that Tania gave him as a tip. I was shocked seeing her spend so much money just for tip.

They are rich.....I must not forget..

I kept quiet and observed the surroundings. The room was pretty big with large wall mounted television set, long drapes that completely covered the windows. I went ahead and pushed aside the those long maroon drapes and was totally in awe looking at the beautiful snow capped mountains from the third floor window.

I just stood there watching the beauty for half an hour while Tania was busy chatting with her friends.

I am lucky to be here...I never ever thought that I would see the mountains and that too like this...

I was very happy and was feeling like I was on top of the world.

'Meera! Are you not hungry?' Tania asked me from behind.

'Yeah was but after looking at those mountains I feel like my stomach is full!!' I replied turning back.

'Wait there...I want to click a picture of your first experience and a very happy face' said Tania pulling out her phone, she began clicking my pictures.

I did not know whether to say no or was it okay to get clicked. I just stood there smiling. Later that day we had a heavy lunch and went for a walk down the market street. Tania and her friends kept purchasing whatever they felt was good without any reason if they really needed it.

'Meera, take this!' Said Tania holding a woolen sweater.

'No..no Tania how can I take it?' I really did not wish to take anymore favour from her. It was because of her I was enjoying my time in that mountainous region and any further favour would mean a burden on me.

'If my brother gives you...would you say No?' She asked me.

'No...I mean I wouldn't say no but accept it' I replied swiftly.

'Good then take it' said Tania. I took the gift since I did not wish to hurt the little girl. The sweater she gifted me was pretty soft and light in weight. We spent the remaining part of the day in the market and walked back to the hotel by nine at night after we had dinner.

Very tired, we all fell asleep within few minutes after changing our clothes. Covering myself with the thick soft duvet, I felt like I was sleeping in the clouds. The bed too was so cozy and comfortable. I woke up sometime later when I heard a phone ringing. I turned to the other side facing Tania and noticed her phone kept on the bed side table was ringing.  I picked it up bending over Tania and answered the call. It was Rahul sir and I did not even know when I fell asleep still holding the phone.
