Ruined by him (Completed)

Part 40: Back to business.

Day 22

The early morning rays hit her face but she had her shades on as she leaned on his car and waited for him to load the luggage in it.

Just a last few moments of being here and they'd be leaving it. She felt heavy in her heart at the thought of seeing this place for the last time.

She even took a stroll across the whole house before he woke up this morning and as soon as they had their morning tea, she insisted she'd go and see the banyan tree again. She went there and clicked some pictures, just for memories.

"Can't we visit the waterfall?" She looked at him puppy eyed, "please"

"The water will be cold now!" He informed plainly making her pout and feel sad. She didn't pestered more as she realised, it will be harder if she get attached to it.

Karan talked about some things to shyam and even asked him to look for the maintenance. Once done, karan to gave a final look at the house and sighed.

"Let's go!" He opened the door for tripura first and then took his driving seat.

Starting the engine, he accelerated making a move out of the premise. The more they went out of it, the more she came back to reality from this heaven like dream. Every good thing comes to an end, she smiled ruefully.

Karan who was marking her expressions since morning, knew something was off and her last minute plea to visit the waterfall surprised him. He pondered on that thought, was she upset because of that? He wondered and took an off roas turn which was not the way out to the main road but somewhere else.

"Come!" He pulled over to a side taking his seat belt off.

"We reached already!" A bit zoned out tripura lookee at him.

"Not yet!" He chuckled getting out from his side and opened the door for her.

"Where are we?" She got down and looked around to see they were in middle of trees and not on the main road.

"You'll know!" He took her hand in his, "wait!" She went towards the car and took her phone, just in case if he thinks to dump her in the middle of the jungle, she thought.

'wtf!" Her inner mocked at her brain for the absurd thought.

They walked inside towards the greenary and trekked downwards. She was a bit hesitant at first and kept on poking him to tell her where they headed but he kept his silence.

Giving up on asking him, she kept quite but soon her ears caught an ambience which felt familiar. Her heart beats stopped for seconds and then fluttered in excitement. He did caught her change in expression and gave her a smile and a nod when she looked at him.

Another step and they came near the same waterfall, but from a different route this time.

She was so surprised and happy that she jumped in excitement and hugged him hard. "Thank you!" She hopped around the stones to reach towards the water.

"Careful!" He called out to her from the back and matched her pace.

Once she went near the water, she took a deep breathe and stood in silence, taking in the purity of the place, the bliss of the ambience into her.

"Why you wanted to be here?" His voice broke her silent meditation.

She didn't answered with words but with her actions as she took her phone out and clicked some pictures which she couldn't yesterday midst his antics.
