After 5 Year Engagement

46

We were back at the private chalet that he brought us because he felt like I needed to be in the water.

But it was actually him. He missed the water more than I did and I actually packed my bag this time, not trusting Rishi with his choices of clothes.

I was relieved and relaxed. The most calm I have ever been. I'm finally free. I don't need to be scared someone might hurt Rishi or me anymore.

I was beyond shocked and amazed that he would go to that extent without letting me know even a one bit.

My dad told me everything Rishi did. He was beyond happy that Rishi put Robert in prison. I am blessed. I am really blessed after everything that I went through.

Who knew the guy that gave me cold stares is actually the sweetest, loving and most caring person in the world.

I was shocked to know that Robert was following me all these years and right when Rishi entered my old place, Robert actually backed away.

Rishi protected me from Robert without realising and I'm happy my needy ass invited him that day. I smiled by myself remembering how he made me sit on his lap and hugged me.

"What are you smiling about? You promised to get in the water with me!" Rishi said splashing water at me and I jerked my tongue at him, splashing the water back.

"Promise you'll catch me?"

"I always will, love." He said smiling at me and I slide down to him. He caught me like promised.

"Who wears a shirt inside water?" He asked holding me while I was clinging to him, looking at the water.

"I do and I always will. I'm not going to show my boobs to the world. My knees are enough." I said jerking my tongue at him and he rolled his eyes at me, flicking my nose.

"But it's only me." He pouted and I pulled his ear, making him yelp.

"I don't care. You'll never know who's about to peak in. The fishes might gawk at me!" He laughed looking at me being dramatic.

"Hold your breath!" He pulled both of us in and I saw a glimpse of fishes near me, touched it.

He pulled us back out and I showed him my hand. He looked at me weirdly.

"I touched a fish! I actually touched a living fish!" I said excitedly and he still pulled my knees up, scared that I might choke on my breath.

"Rishi, for the tenth time! I can touch fish! I can't eat it but I can touch it! Unless it's crabs. I'll probably die." I whispered the last part and he looked at me wide eyed.

I tried my best not to laugh at his expression because he thought for a moment if there were crabs floating on the water.

"Crabs? Oh, I'm never letting you near the beach anymore. No more sand for you." He said pulling me closer and still narrowing his eyes at the water.

I bursted out laughing, looking at him so worried.

"Were you joking? Come on, Rhea. That's not funny!" He whined and I cling on his neck tightly, trying to stop laughing.

"It is true! But the crabs are not here. Stop worrying." He just stared at me with a straight face while I laughed at him.

"You laugh again, I'll drop you in the water." He warned looking at me and I pressed my lips together, holding my laughter.

I bursted out laughing again and he smiled a little, watching me.

"I'm sorry I can't. I can't believe you're a genius but think there will be crabs floating in the ocean! This is too funny!" I said loudly and laughed again.
