Anusha's POV
“Siddharth tell me where are we going?” I asked while locking the main door of our apartment.
"or at least give me some hint!"
He didn’t reply.
Once I was done locking the main doors, I showed him my puppy eyes saying
‘please tell me’.
“Don’t give me that look.” He said and walked ahead of me with our luggage.
I sighed and followed behind.
Idiot!
The moment we entered our apartment, he quickly ran towards our bedroom as we were already late according to our schedule.
After sharing our small vacation plan with our family members we went through lots of teasing and comments from them and especially from Bebe. So after coming back here I did nothing but followed him inside the bedroom. I gasped the moment I saw our already packed luggage.
I asked him, when did he pack everything?
He said when I was planning his birthday party at our parent's house he came here early and did all this.
In the car, I noticed that we are going towards IGI airport,
“We are flying somewhere!?”
He looked at me,
“You never going to give up. Don’t you?”
“Nope” I replied making a funny face shaking my head.
He laughed and said,
“Yes we are and now don’t ask any other question.”
“Yes, sir!” I said with a pout giving him a salute to which he laughed even more.
Well... You can say I'm super excited.

The moment our flight landed it was already 8 in the evening and I was standing stunned by the view, this place is so so beautiful.
“Welcome to Bali,” he said pulling me for a side hug keeping his hand over my shoulder.
I smiled widely at him and gave him a tight hug wrapping my hands around his torso and tip-toeing I pecked his lips.
Super excited!.............Remember?
He looked at me shockingly.
“What? We are in Indonesia” I said shrugging.
“Then......... let's do it properly.” He said pulling me closer to him. He gripped me firmly pulled me closer to his front and started leaning.
“Of course” I replied sarcastically and pushed him. He scrunched his nose making a face.
“Where is our chariot, my King?”
He winked, giving me a look that says
‘You never know’. I sighed again.
Surprise?
Not again.
He carried our bags to the area where all the cars were parked and stopped when we arrived at the desired spot.
A squeal escaped my mouth when I saw what our chariot is,
"Oh my god!"
"you liked it?"
"you kidding me? I love it"
I replied jumping on my spot and hugging him tightly eyeing the red color open-air jeep wrangler.
Siddharth kept the luggage in the back of the jeep and took the jeep keys from the man standing beside the car, who was previously waiting for us.
We both climbed up and he ignited the engine to life. Smiling like a mad woman at him I impatiently waited for his another surprise.

My eyes opened wide, jaw dropped to the ground. I’m standing in front of a beautiful, forget about the beautiful breathtakingly beautiful beach house.
They fucking own this place, I asked him how many more places they have. He replied I’ll figure it out soon.
The house is so big and beautiful. It is a two-story beach house. With white and woody exterior, tall about 10 feet the glass windows are present at every corner, greenery everywhere and most importantly it's near the sea. I can smell the ocean from the front porch itself.
We entered and I ogled the interior, this place is getting more amazing with every passing second.
The living room of the house was so big and giving vacation vibes. Huge glass windows giving you a breathtaking view of the outside, you can see the beach completely from here. The house is so much beautiful!
He introduced me with the servants Mora and her son Derek. Mora seems to be around in her late 40s and Derek was young must be in his 20s. They greeted me and quickly disappeared in a moment.
They will be here with us during the day hours for cleaning, cooking and doing remaining household chores for us.
The back porch of the house leads you to the beach. There was a porch swing hanging from the ceiling at the back of the house, you can relax here and stare at the sea and sky as long as you want.
"we can spend a whole day here in each other's arms staring at the sea," he said hugging me from the back. I blushed after imagining.
"Come! let's show you the top floor. Our floor!" he said dragging me upstairs with him impatiently. I giggled and noticed Mora smiling at us from the kitchen.
Siddharth led me to our bedroom. The bedroom was so beautiful actually calling it beautiful would be an understatement, it was covered with white spreadsheets and white soft curtain hanging around it. Blue pillow covers with embroidery look and the room was like the whole house, in white and blue theme. Lightening the mood and setting perfect for a vacation.
I stood in front of the bed staring particularly nothing just enjoying the beauty of the room, and thinking we would be sharing this room for a few days making new memories together.
I felt his presence behind and then again he hugged me from the back and buried his face under the crook of my neck,
“Let’s have dinner?” I asked him.
He nodded.
“And this place is just………………..it’s just…. I don’t have the words” I continued.
“I can see that” he replied while kissing my neck. Giving a tingling sensation to my body. Blowing up my senses.
He slipped the strap of my dress off my shoulder and started placing delicious kisses.
We were so busy in our separate bubble that a knock on the door of our bedroom disturbed our moment. Siddharth sighed and opened the door, it was Derek informing us that the dinner is ready and they are leaving.
The house is with 4 bedrooms and two servants room at the back. The whole top floor belongs all to Siddharth, there is his bedroom, small study, a giant bathroom and a big Spanish style balcony.
We ate dinner and were discussing the tourist places here in Bali. After preparing a small list we came back into our room to sleep.
Siddharth told me that Derek is a medical student. Right now he is in his second year, they know Mora since she was just 16 years old she’s more like a family member to them. They take care of Derek’s study and his expenses. He is more like a little brother to Siddharth.
Then we slept in each other’s arms as we were so tired.
…………………………………
When I woke up the next day, I opened my eyes and saw the next side of my bed is empty.
Siddharth?
I turned to the bedside table to see what time it is, there I found a stick note on it saying-
‘good morning sleepyhead or should I say good afternoon’
I looked at the clock it’s 2 in the afternoon.
What? I slept this long!
What a splendid way of beginning the first day of your vacation?
A huge round of applause for our one and only Anusha!
Rubbing my face with my hands and keeping in mind to look for my dearest husband I got up from the bed to brush my teeth and found another note on the bathroom door. It says-
‘let’s get you to freshen up’
I nodded with a smile.
I think I know what you are doing hubby.
I entered the bathroom, took my toothbrush and applied toothpaste on it and started brushing my teeth.
My gaze traveled to the mirror, I was expecting a messy sleepy face of a lovesick woman but looking in the mirror my brushing stopped. There was another note stuck-
‘there is something waiting for you in the cupboard’
Quickly spitting the toothpaste and opening the cupboard where I found a box. I hurriedly unwrapped it. The moment I opened the box I saw a beautiful dress. The upper part of the dress was white in color having a sweetheart neckline and the skirt part of the dress was of peach color, the skirt was short reaching till my mid thighs and there was a veil at the back completing the look.
I took the dress and then I saw another note inside the box-
‘Now hurry up I’m waiting!’
I stripped out and quickly took a shower. Changing into the dress, I applied some makeup. The dress fitted me perfectly, making me look sexy to my eyes. I always want to look beautiful in front of him.
As I climb out of the bedroom, there was another note on the adjoining wall –
‘just follow the trail of notes. They will lead you to me’
I didn't notice this note earlier?
I shook my head with a never leaving smile plastered on my face.
.
.
.
.
.
As I took a few steps down the stairs there was another note –
‘Aren’t you curious what is out there waiting for you?’
Very curious! I sighed
As I continued moving down, following the arrows they led me towards the living room.
Another note on the main wall-
‘let me entertain you......
Do you know how the baby learned to walk?’
I squeezed my eyebrows together (turn over for an answer) turning the note I saw,
-‘step by step’
I pursed my lips. This is the lamest joke I’ve ever heard. Read actually.
But couldn’t help it I smiled at his cuteness.
I love him!
I know!!!
’you are smiling aren’t you? I’m damn sure you are!’
And with this, I smiled ever wider.
I moved further.
‘Ok. Here is another one. What do you call an alligator in a vest?’
I shrugged in response and turned the note for the answer.
‘An investigator’
laughing I face-palmed myself.
I entered the back porch and the trail was leading me to down towards the beach.
There at the pole, there was the last note saying –
‘Now one last!
Do you know what's in the menu?’
I guess I know what comes next. I turned the note and saw -
‘me and U’
this made me laugh, even more, I think I’m matching his sense of humor now.
Contagious jerk!
The trails were leading me to the beach so I slipped out my footwears and stepped on the sand, then I saw the man I was dying to see from the past one and half hour.
The man who is the reason for my happiness, the man who made my day complete, my life complete.
The man I love.
My man!

Siddharth’s POV
I woke up with her sleeping in my arms peacefully. Resting her head on my chest, hugging my torso.
I kissed her crown and managed to remove her hand around me. The more I wanted to stay right here in this position with her then I won’t be able to execute my plan, so somehow I managed to free myself.
After doing all the preparations in silence as I didn’t want her to wake up, I quickly went inside the bathroom to get ready.
I have planned to spend the whole afternoon and the whole evening with her at the beach. Mora and Derek helped me a lot in all this. The temperature today is slightly cloudy so the beach is relatively cool. And as this is my private spot so no one can interrupt.
We arranged a date at the beach, lying a mat on the bare sand, placing a small table over it at the center and surrounding the sitting area with cushions and candles.
The setup was sober and simple. Just like my love. It was pure and intense enough for her feel my heart in all this.
There are no more problems in our relationship, no more worries, and confusions. I love her and she loves me too. This is all I want.
She made me the happiest man alive. And she is the reason for my happiness itself.
I glanced at my wrist watch and saw its already 3:15 in the afternoon, what is taking her so long? I sighed feeling restless.
Then I saw her smiling down looking at my stupidity, The notes!
She took off her sandal and the moment her eyes met mine, I felt like my heart stopped beating. I felt my pulse raging. I scratched the back of my head and smiled sheepishly at her.
She was looking breathtaking in that dress. The dress was emphasizing her perfect curves and those legs.
GOD! Those never-ending long sexy legs!
The wind blowing her hair everywhere on her face, making me lose my patience.
I smiled looking at her, she was playing with her fingers. ‘She is nervous too!'
When only a distance of a few feet was separating us I found myself moving towards her. I held her hands in mine looking into her eyes.
She was quiet, saying nothing but her eyes did all the talking. She was happy.
“Thank you,” she said with a smile still looking my eyes.
I didn’t say anything but still engrossed in her eyes. These black eyes, filled with so much love for me was holding me to them.
There was a time when I thought I failed, I can’t make her confess her love to me. Never have I ever thought that this could happen in my life.
I was wild and careless, a spoilt brat for my friends and family, an arrogant boss for my employees. But I found a new me for her.
She turned me into a soft man, a man with patience, lots of patience.
A man who can now control his brattiness. She turned me into a saint just for her.
Holding her hand I made her sit on the mat and placed a few cushions around her to make her comfortable, her eyes following my movements making me even more nervous.
There was a never leaving a smile on her face, but her eyes were filled with sadness. I was about to ask her when…
“Drinks sir?..” Mora asked. I nodded and waited for her to complete her work and leave.
I cupped her face in my hands and asked her to look into my eyes.
She did. “Why? Aren’t you happy?”
She hugged me tightly wrapping her hands around me while burying her face in my neck.
“I’m sorry,” she said crying.
I rubbed her back and was confused. What happened to her? Why is she sorry?
She pulled out and looked at me. I can see the tears on her cheeks. I wiped them off from her beautiful face and waited for her to continue.
“I’m sorry Siddharth. I can’t imagine that I made you wait so long for me. You never deserved what I did to you. You were hiding so much love inside your heart just for me and I was oblivious of all this. I was hurting you all the time, without my realization” She dropped her gaze.
I smiled hearing all this. I don’t know what to do but I found myself talking,
“you don’t need to say sorry for anything, just don’t feel guilty about anything, this is how our love story is. Just think we have a beautiful love story for our kids to know.”
I held her chin and made her look back into my eyes. She smiled and mouthed
‘I love you’.
“What I didn’t hear you?”
She smiled even more and slapped my chest. I raised my eyebrow at her.
“I said, I love you,” she said again but still in a low tone.
“I didn’t get it. What?” I said forwarding my ear towards her side.
“I love you Siddharth,” she said this time loud enough for me to hear properly each and every word.
But I was not satisfied. Yet.
She frowned and when I thought she is not going to do anything now, she did something very shocking.
She stood up from her place and shouted
“I love you Siddharth Khanna” loud enough for the whole world to listen opening her arms wide.
I looked up at her stunned. And what she did next was completely unexpected from my part. I never thought she could do anything like this in my whole life.
She held my shirt’s collar and pulled me up to stand and crashed her lips on mine.
She kissed me with all she had. She was dominating and I let her. I wanted to feel this side of her. Slipping my arms around her I pulled her closer to me and started kissing her back.
The moment we pulled from the kiss. We were gasping for breath. Both of our feelings were reflecting deep into our actions.
After drinking our second glass of champagne and eating delicious seafood, we decided to walk around the beach, like all those lovey-dovey couples.
Holding hands we started to roam around. The feeling of water touching our bare feet was overwhelming.
“So tell me you liked my jokes?” I asked her.
She giggled and said “ very”.
I can sense sarcasm in her tone, but still asked- “Really?”
“the lamest joke I ever heard,” she said mocking me.
I playfully glared at her. She rolled her eyes at me,
“ you need to work hard on your sense of humor Mr. lame”
“Mr. Lame. Hh?”
“Yes! Mr. Lame!”
“I think I got a new one, a better one,” I said beaming a smile at her.
“No! No! I don’t want to hear it” she said and started walking away from me.
“Just one” I whined and started to move towards her.
“No!” she turned and shouted, started running backward facing me.
“Trust me this one is better” I shouted back and started running to catch her when she turned and started running faster.
We were running on the beach, I was trying to catch her. I can easily catch her but was really enjoying the moment playing with her.
I lunged at her and wrapped my arms around her waist from behind and pulled her up from her feet and twirled her around in the air. She yelped and started laughing.
We were laughing and playing savoring the moment. The after getting g tired we decided to sit down on the sand.
Lying down on the ground I watch her sitting beside me hugging her knees to her chest while playing with the water touching her feet.
“Anu” I called her
“Hmm.,” she replied still playing with the water. Without looking at me.
“How much do you love me?” I asked her but I was still in the mood to play with her.
Now I get your complete attention.
She looked at me as if she have seen some ghost.
I chuckled. “You should’ve seen your face”.
She furrowed her eyebrows and turned back again.
I was still looking at her. Admiring her beauty.
She sighed and lie down next to me turned her head to look at me. For a few seconds, she didn’t say anything just looking into my eyes-
“I love you enough that I can’t even imagine having a dream without you. You are the beginning of my life and it ends with you too. I’ll be your shadow wherever you go. The only thing I ask for, nothing to can separate us from each other.”
I was lost. I just asked this question to tease her. I know love can’t be measured and for her, it’s a thing that she can’t even express but she did. She said those words which made my heart swell.
I brushed the free strand of her hair behind her ear and started caressing her cheeks with my thumb, then her lips. I wanted to feel them once again. I can’t control myself anymore.
I stood up and held my hand in front of her. She held it and I pulled her up quite forcefully, she stumbled and bumped into my chest.
Her hand rested on my chest, whereas mine was holding her to me. I can feel her warm and deep breath on my chest.
I know she can also feel the sexual tension between us. Not wanting to do anything out here, I dragged her back inside the house.
The moment I closed the bedroom door, I know what is going to happen next. There will be no more distance between us from now on.
She’ll be mine. Completely mine. I will never let her go.
I was always praying to make her mine, her to feel my love from her heart. I wanted her to believe in this beautiful feeling and now she does.
I wanted her to see love is not just affection, infatuation or lust, it’s a beautiful feeling that makes you feel complete.
I wanted her to believe in the reason behind the anxiety of her heart, it was all love which was running in her breath for me when we were far from each other when she was thinking about me.
At this moment I wanted to shout and tell her I’m insanely in love with her. I just wanted to tell her that my life is now incomplete without her I don’t think I can live without her anymore. Her words created a feeling inside me to hold her and never leave her.
Make her all mine.
………………………
'I only gave you my hand,
how did you
end up with all of me?'
