The next day they had planned for Amer fort.

It was 11km from Jaipur. the entire structure was made red sandstone and marble, the attractive, opulent palace was laid out on four levels, each with a courtyard.

It consisted of the Diwan-i-Aam, or "Hall of Public Audience", the Diwan-i-Khas, or "Hall of Private Audience", the Sheesh Mahal (mirror palace), or Jai Mandir, and the Sukh Niwas where a cool climate is artificially created by winds that blow over a water cascade within the palace.

The palace was the residence of the Rajput Maharajas and their families. At the entrance to the palace near the fort's Ganesh Gate, there was a temple dedicated to Shila Devi, a goddess of the Chaitanya cult, which was given to Raja Man Singh when he defeated the Raja of Jessore, Bengal in 1604.

It was a major tourist attraction of Jaipur. Arjun played the perfect guideexplaining the history of the place. sunaina liked the way Arjun spoke. his expressions showed how much pride he took in being a Rajasthani. Today he was looking very handsome in a black jeans and red and white check shirt.His voice was mesmerising and soon she lost herself in his descriptions. ' Sunaina are you there?"

Arjun woke her from her thoughts.

Today she was looking very lovely. She was wearing a long yellow halterneck sundress and white sandals. She had kept her long hair loose and applied a light pink lipgloss to her lips.The wind was blowing her hair in all directions

After visiting the fort they sat down to enjoy a cup of tea in the restaurant. Very strong winds were blowing and Sunaina was finding it difficult to control her hair.

"Shivani where has Arjun gone?"

"I don't know. Just five minutes back he was sitting and he just went off."

Arjun came back holding a beautiful muticoloured scarf."Sunaina this is for you"

"But I don't need it?"

"I have brought this because I couldn't find a band to hold your hair"

"May I?" asking her he took her hair in his hands and tied the scarf around it. Her hair was very long and silky but it was her white unblemished soft skin that caught his attention.

He couldn't resist touching her so he gently tickled her neck while tying the scarf. A wave of electricity passed through her body at his touch and she shivered gently.

"Are you cold?"

"No. nothing like that ", replied Sunaina.

Arjun himself had experienced the same so he had just wanted to be sure that Sunaina was affected by him or not.

Shivani did not notice the look that passed through both of them.

Then he took them to A government emporium from where Sunaina bought lot of gifts and decorativel items for her house.

Next they went to Hawa mahal and Jal mahal. Sunaina was fond of GolGappas so she indulged in them while Shivani and Arjun ate the fruit chat.

Sunaina had her hands full and Shivani was still busy with her chaat so Arjun took this opportunity to feed Sunaina the Gol Gappas. At first she was surprised but when he fed one or two to his sister also she relaxed.

By the time they finished it was alrady dinner time so they headed home. Another day had passed beautifully. Sunain knew that she would cherish this vacation for a long time.

Arjun was happy because he was getting closer to Sunaina. He was sure that by the end of their break Sunaina would accept his proposal.
