Next morning,

They all were ready as it was their last day here in Mahableshwar,they would all leave tomorrow early in the morning as they all had work they needed to tend to.

Iknoor wasn't in the mood to get ready much so she just chose a simple crop top with fitted cargo jeans which looked good on her.



She kept her hair in a long pony tail because she didn't want to let them open because it get's hard to manage them for her.

The whole time she was getting ready infront of the mirror Nirvair didn't looked at her neither did she looked at him.

After she had left him in the balcony last night he didn't entered the room for sometime and so she had decided to sleep till then.

They both hadn't talked to eachother since then and neither was anyone of them willing to talk.

She took her side bag which had her phone,a sanitizer and wet tissues along with her lipstick and lil balm and left the room without asking him if he was accompanying her.

He did followed her though and both went towards the breakfast buffet arranged by the hotel and started piling up their plates with food,still not talking to eachother.

The other's were a bit late so they both settled on a table and silently started having their breakfast,still not talking.

The other's arrived and they all settled with the couple and finally they both started talking but not to eachother but with the rest of them.

"Bhabhi,yeh lijiye yeh woh bike ki chabi h"Hriday said as Iknoor had given him the bike keys last time they had taken the rented bike.

He thought she might want to ride it today also and so he gave it to his bhabhi instead of his Bhai.

Iknoor too took it from him and so it was clear between them that she was going to ride the bike while he will have to sit behind her so Nirvair didn't bothered to ask her to give him the keys.

"Aaj kaha jaana h?"Aayat asked curiously.

"Mapro chalte h,wahi bacha h ab toh"Iknoor suggested because it was waste if you go to Mahabaleshwar and don't visit mapro even for once.

Inaya and Aahad nodded at that agreeing with her and Hriday and Aayat also agreed because they didn't had any idea about the places here,so it was fixed that they all would visit mapro and it's nearby places today.

They all wrapped up their breakfast quickly and decided to ride on their respective bikes towards Mapro.

Iknoor ignited the bike and Nirvair sat behind as he sat that day.She with very ease drove away the bike.

They still hadn't spoken anything to eachother,both waiting for the other person to say anything and that's why this thick silence hung between them.

Suddenly there was a deep turn and Iknoor did turn the bike accordingly but wasn't able to have a complete control over it, Nirvair immediately kept both of his palms over her's which stayed on the handle of the bike and steadied it.

He could feel her knuckles were very cold as the cool breeze passed through them as they moved,she wasn't wearing anything warm either,she just wore a thin crop top which revealed a lil bit of her torso and he sighed.

She must definitely be feeling cold but her ego was stopping her from saying it out loud to him.

Nirvair didn't removed his hands from over hers instead he leaned forward almost back hugging her,his hands surrounding hers on the bike handles so that she could ride with an ease without her hands going cold.

As soon as Nirvair enveloped her from behind a sudden warmth passed through Iknoor's body, literally and figuratively.

His chest touched her back completely making her feel warm against the harsh cold breeze.His large warm palms wrapped around her small cold ones which held the handle.

Her hands had gone numb because of the cool breeze and this closeness made her feel a lot better physically but mentally things were a mess for her.

She had never imagined him to do anything like this,for them to be this close!

She had never been in this proximity with a man before.

It was all new for her and the shivers that ran down her spine weren't fully because of the cold weather and she knew it.

It was all because of him being this close to her.

She did wanted to ask him to move away because of the fight they have had yesterday and because of how much he has hurt her but she couldn't muster herself to do so.

She wanted to be selfish for a moment.

For just a moment she wanted to be like this with him.

As if they were like a normal married couple without issues.

So she didn't say anything to him, neither did she remove her own palms from the handle.

She let their hands be that way,she let him be this close to herself.

The other two couples who were also riding the bikes saw them as they were ahead of them and were a bit surprised seeing the sudden romantic gesture.

Well,Aayat and Hriday were happy thinking that the couple was finally having a progress in their relationship.

They reached mapro and everyone got down their bikes after parking it.

Iknoor immediately chose to be with Inaya and Aayat and do Nirvair too went with Hriday and Aahad.

They did shared a moment but neither of them was ready to acknowledge that.

Last night's fight was still heavy on their brains and so they didn't want to bow down at all in front of each other.

"Yaha kitni saari strawberries h"Aayat said as she saw the strawberry garden.

"Kyuki yeh pura strawberry and baaki berries ka hi garden h"Iknoor said making Aayat nod at it.

They explored the garden, clicking pictures at various places in the garden,they even made Iti sit in the small mapro car the place had.

Different kinds of places made out of strawberry were they all clicked pictures, especially the girls.

Finally they went towards the food section and Iknoor asked the girls to come with her.

She picked up three shots of strawberry syrup juice that was kept for the people to try and gave them to Aayat and Inaya.

"Don't worry trial ke liye hi h,hum jab bhi yaha aate the na sab kuch try krte the woh bhi 2-4 baar"Iknoor said making the other two chuckle.

They started trying each and every drink which was kept for trial,each and every chocolate that was given out to try and finally decided to order food.

"Hame pizza!"Iti said and Hriday sighed.

"Ha yahi ka toh pizza khana h hame,yaha bht acha pizza milta h"Iknoor said supporting her and Iti gave her a big smile at that.

They all ordered fresh strawberry shakes,pizza,fries,sandwiches for themselves.

Nirvair and Iknoor still sitting away from each other.Iknoor sat with Aayat while Nirvair sat with Hriday as Iti sat with the ladies.

Both still hadn't shared a word with each other and that was making the other curious again.

The way they all had come riding on the bike was a lot different then the way they were ignoring each other now.

Wrapping up the lunch they went and explored the wax museum which was nearby.

"Mumma hame waha bethna h!"Iti said pointing out to the dashing car which were set in that area,a lot other games too for children were arranged there.

"Chaliye aapko lekr chalte h"Hriday said to his daughter as they all made their way towards it.

"Hriday hame bhi jaana h"Aayat said to her husband who gave her a surprised look at that.

It was a kid's ride right?

"Yeh baccho ka h Aayat"Hriday said.

"Bacchon ka nhi h,waha dekhiye bade bhi beth sakte h"Aayat said.

"Aayat lek...

"Chalo mein bhi chalti hu!"Iknoor said enthusiastically as she too wanted to go on the dashing cars.

"Mujhe bhi jaana h"Inaya too said and the men all sighed.

Women.

Hriday didn't say anything then and paid for the four of them to go and sit in the car.

Aayat sat with Iti because she won't be able to control the car on her own.Inaya and Iknoor sat on separate cars.

Soon enough they started hitting each other's cars out of fun and kept laughing loudly when they did it.Even Iti was enjoying a lot with them.

The men just stared at their wives with a blank face.

Weren't they too old to do these kiddish activities.

"Meri taraf toh dekhna hi mat,teri biwi ne pehele bola tha"Nirvair said when Aahad and Hriday stared at him.

"Haa pr hamari biwi ko hrr cheez ke liye encourage krne wali aapki biwi hoti h"Hriday teased him and he rolled his eyes at that.

Even Aahad agreed with this.

"Mein kya karu agar tum dono ki biwiyon ne meri biwi ko apna leader maan liya h toh?"Nirvair said and the other two chuckled hearing that because somewhere it was true.

Inaya and Aayat both were timid and shy girl's,Iknoor was the fun loving and adventurous amongst the three and the three of them have formed a group on this trip, doing everything together and enjoying a lot.

Post that they let Iti do the other rides because they were literally for kids.

Iti really had a blast and kept screaming in joy the whole time.

Post that as it was always evening they all decided to go to the hotel as they were tired by roaming around the whole day.

"Mein chalata hu bike,keys do"Nirvair said and Iknoor didn't protest at that and gave him the keys.

He also surprised her as he removed the jacket he was wearing and gave it to her because as it was evening again the weather was a bit chilly and he didn't want her to shiver like she did in the morning.

"Thank you"Iknoor said and wore it and hopped on the bike behind him.

Finally the two decided to speak!

They were just being egoistical and that's why weren't talking.But since now Nirvair had talked to her first she too gave him a reply.

Dinner time,

Everyone decided to simply eat at the hotel buffet as it was their last night here and they didn't want to travel to another place to have dinner.

Iknoor brought her plate and sat beside Nirvair as everyone else was still filling their plates with the food.

"Arre!tumne thik se buffet dekha nhi tha kya?sirf dal chawal?"Nirvair teased her because the whole trip she had just stuffed her plate and her tummy with all the delicious food from the buffet.

Iknoor rolled her eyes at him.

"Tabiyat toh thik h na tumhari Iknoor?sirf dal chawal khaa rahi ho tum?waha paneer crispy, chicken tikka aur pata nhi kya kya dishes padi h yrr,tumhara hi wait kr rahi h woh!"Nirvair further teased her and she narrowed her eyes at him as she ate a bite of dal rice with her hands.

She can never eat rice with a spoon,she just can't enjoy eating it then.

"Sirf dal chawal se tumhara pet bharr jayega?"He again teased her.

"Tumhe itni fikar krne ki zarurat nhi h meri,apna khao na tum!"She said eyes narrowed at him.

"Arre tum sirf dal chawal kha rahi ho mujhe acha nhi lag raha h isliye keh raha tha"Nirvair said.

"Aww!! How thoughtful and caring!"She said sweetly in a taunting way and he chuckled hearing that.

"Arre sachi mein yrr...

"Mujhe khate time baat krna nhi pasand"She said interrupting him in between.

"Bhabhi yeh lijiye"Aayat said as she passed her the fried papad Iknoor had asked her to get for her.

"Thank you Aayat"Iknoor said smiling at her.

"Yrr achaar nhi h kya inke paas?"Iknoor further asked nobody in particular.

"H na yeh lijiye"Inaya said passing her the achaar bowl.

"Tumhe toh khate time baat krna nhi pasand tha?"Nirvair said as he saw her talking to the girls.

"Meine aisa thodi kaha tha"Iknoor said and he narrowed his eyes at her this time.

"Meine kaha tha mujhe tumse baat krna pasand nhi h,baakiyon se baat krna acha lagta h mujhe,toh tum mujhse baat mat karo!"Iknoor said not in a rude way but in a teasing way just to rile him up.

"Mein toh jese mare jaa raha tha tumse baat krne ke liye"Nirvair said in his defence.

"Ha toh mat karo!"Iknoor again teased him.

She just loves teasing him for some reason because he is the one who teases everyone.

"Nhi kr raha"Nirvair said.

"Ha toh mat karo"Iknoor further continued irritating him.

"Nhi kr raha yrr"He said looking at her now.

"Okay mat karo,mein yeh baccho jese reply nhi krne wali tumhe"Iknoor said and everyone chuckled at their banter.

Nirvair rolled his eyes at her and she too chuckled this time.
