Rehan let go of her.
"No need for that much violence this early." He said in surrender.

" Good. " Arya replied satisfied with her actions.

"It's good to know something's never change. "

"Always keep in mind to remember that. " She said showing him her tongue.

They were interrupted by a knock on the door.

Arya opened the door to see Jacob, their tour guide.
"Hey Jacob , we were about to leave for the airport and we wanted to thank you for everything.  " She beamed.

Rehan was confused at her sudden shift.

"Yeah thank you Jacob"

" It waz my pleasure "

She turned towards him.

"Tho chale?"
" Haa meri maa. Lead the way. "

"Here"
Rehan handed her a big piece of chocolate.

"Thank you"

"Figured you would be hungry and
Turns out I was right. "

She gave him a sheepish smile.

"I'm sorry for shouting at you today morning. I am a bit grumpy in the morning. "

"That is a bit? " He looked at her alarmed.

"Mai sorry bola na? " She responded biting into the chocolate.

He chuckled.

"You can sleep now if you want. "

"I was also thinking the same thing. You know, great minds think alike.  "

She laid her head on his shoulder and started to drift into sweet oblivion.

She was falling for him.  Like the soft drizzle of the first monsoon shower.

"I think I left my phone at the counter. I'll come back. " 
They were in London and had checked into their room.

As Rehan was going towards the reception , a girl bumped into him.

She had a bunch of papers on her hands which were scattered everywhere. 


"I'm so sorry "

"It's okay. I wasn't looking where I was going. " Rehan apologised.

"Well anyways. I'm Rachel. "

"You have a beautiful name that is deserving of your beautiful face." Rehan replied with a genuine smile.

Little did he know that someone was listening to everything and burning in a corner silently.

They exchanged a few pleasanteries which felt too pleasant to Arya. He never asked her these things.

" You know Rehan, men like you are really rare nowadays. I wish I had a boyfriend like you. "
