The Boundless Bond

Part 52

After spending around more than an hour by the campfire, they went to sleep. Next day, they planned to go for skiing, which means a long day awaits. Ashima dozed off quickly, she was really tired and also because she didn't get any proper sleep for the past 2 days. Ashwin got up, watched the sunrise, made coffee and went to wake up Ashima. When he saw her sleeping, he didn't have the heart to wake her up, she was sleeping like a baby. He knew she must be tired after all the traveling. Instead of waking her up, he was watching her sleep. Ashima's alarm went off, she slightly opened her eyes and saw Ashwin sitting next to her.

Ashwin: good morning abby, here's your coffee

Ashima: morning abby! Iniki unaku shivarathiri a?

Ashwin: paatha apdiya theriyudhu?

Ashima: yaaa, you're up before me

Ashwin: for a change, I did, and I think that was one of the best decisions

Ashima: morning ae kalaaikadha abby, where's your coffee?

Ashwin: naa kalaaikave ilaye, had mine long ago

Ashima: what were you doing so early?

Ashwin: was watching the sunrise

Ashima: you could have woke me up la, naanum vandhu paathurpen

Ashwin: illaye, then I would have missed something

Ashima: missed what? your self time?

Ashwin: nopeee

Ashima: what is it then?

Ashwin: would have missed watching you sleep like a baby

Ashima: morning ae love mood a

Ashwin: correction, 24/7

Ashima pinched Ashwin's cheeks and said "guess we are taking turn watching each other sleep and admiring it. Now, let's go and get ready, we have a very long dayyyy"

Ashwin: excitedddd!!

They got ready and went to the skiing spot. They spent around 5 hours just over there, skiing, snowboarding, playing with the snow and all other activities. It was exhausting but full-on fun, they enjoyed it. They stayed back to watch the sunset; it was such a scenic view.

Ashwin: you missed the sunrise, but this sunset is a worthy one

Ashima: righttt, it's so pretttyyy, idhukagave we can come here everyday

Ashwin: varalame

Ashima: how many times you've been here?

Ashwin: just once

Ashima: once?!?! Whyyyy, how could you not come back here often

Ashwin: not that I don't like this place but told myself it has to be a memorable one the next I visit here, and just like that, it's indeed a memorable one, you're here with me. Idhelam dreams a poidomnu dhan I thought

Ashima slipped into Ashwin's arms and said, "I'm sure the reality is a better one, right?"

Ashwin: undoubtedly abby, evlo sonnalum pathadhu, adhu oru thani feel

Ashima: I know I know; the beauty lies in not being able to express how it exactly feels like. Let it remain like that, I know how it feels like too, adhu podhum

They spent a while more at the snow resort and then drove back to their homestay, which is about 15mins from the snow resort.
