Forever Love

58

   Abhinav gently envelops Aaradhya from behind, his arms sliding over her, while his chin finds a resting place on her shoulder.

"What time do you leave tomorrow?”
“8AM,” Aaradhya answered softly, turning her face a little until her cheeks are brushing against him.

“I will see you off,hmm?” he murmurs slowly.

“But you have a morning meet tomorrow,” Aaradhya whispered. She held the arms he has wrapped around her.

Abhi says nothing in return, he just tilts his face and kissed her neck. “Precious” he whispers after a few seconds of silence, his soft lips brushes against her neck and his warm breath tickled her.

“Hmm?” Aaradhya turned her head a little towards him.

“I’ll miss you. I already do,” he murmured pressing his forehead on her shoulder.

Aaradhya turned towards him then cupped his face and lightly touched Abhi's lips and coaxed, "I'll be back soon, hmm..", which earned a tight hug from Abhi.

Abhi felt that if Aaradhya continued like this, he would really be addicted.

Abhi: "Call me if you have anything."

Aadhya: "Okay."

Abhi: "You can call me for anything."

Aadhya nodded: "Okay."

Abhi thought for a while and then added: "You can call me anytime."

Aadhya smiled and nodded: "Okay."

After a while, Abhi said again: "Well, at least one phone call a day and three texts. I'll wait for you."

Aadhya nodded: "Okay."

Aaradhya almost couldn't help but laugh.

"You are still laughing, won't you miss me?" Abhi sulked.

Aaradhya ruffled his hair and said " I'll miss you as well and I want to look at you at every waking moment. When I can't see you, I'll constantly be thinking about you," her voice was soft.

It was the middle of the night, so it was quiet and there were no other sounds nearby. There was only sounds of cicadas and a slight breeze of wind blowing to accompany the pair.

Aadhya woke up early in the morning, filled with excitement and anticipation. Today was the day she had been eagerly waiting for—her adventure trip with her besties. They had meticulously planned their vacation, exploring thrilling activities, picturesque destinations, and challenging adventures.

With their backpacks ready, Aaradhya, Keerthi, Ramya, and Swetha embarked on an exhilarating adventure-packed vacation that would become the journey of a lifetime. Their excitement was palpable as they set out on a road trip across the country, armed with a map and a playlist of upbeat tunes.

Their first stop was a dense forest. The air was crisp, and the fragrance of the trees invigorated their senses. They ventured into the wilderness, guided by a local expert. The forest was teeming with life, with colorful birds chirping and monkeys swinging from tree branches. They marveled at the beauty of nature as they trekked deeper into the forest, navigating through narrow paths and crossing small streams.

Ramya planned to go for a challenging hike, as they climbed steep trails and navigated through dense forests, their laughter echoed, and they exchanged stories. Ramya, who was an experienced hiker, shared tips to keep the group motivated. Keerthi's enthusiasm was infectious, as she cheered them on during the toughest sections.

After an exhilarating hike, they reached a roaring waterfall. The cascading water crashed against the rocks, creating a mesmerizing sight. Aaradhya and gang couldn't resist the temptation to take a dip in the crystal-clear pool at the base of the waterfall. They laughed and splashed around, feeling refreshed by the cool water. It was an unforgettable moment of pure joy.
