I woke up with a jerk as soon as I heard a loud scream.

"What happened!?" I shouted. Then I looked at my surroundings. I wasn't wearing any clothes. My clothes were lying on the floor along with some beer bottles. Nishtha was sitting right next to me holding her forehead and had draped the bedsheet around her body.

"Di..d w..e h...ave sex!" She suddenly asked looking at me. He eyes were red, I didn't know whether she had been crying or she was angry.

"I... I don't remember..." I said. Yeah, I wasn't lying. The last thing I remember is that both of us drank a really strong beer and totally got wasted. I don't remember at all about what happened after that.

Nishtha looked devastated. I couldn't imagine what she was thinking at that moment. We were married but, both of us weren't ready for that kind of relationship.

"Are... you ... in pain?" I somehow managed to ask. Because she belonged to a conservative family, she was most probably a virgin. And girls get sore after their first time...

"No... I'm not SORE ! If that's what you want to ask." She said. Oh, right, she isn't Nishtha Oberoi if she doesn't rudely answer you back.

"Look, let's be optimistic... I don't think anything happened... We were way too drunk to do something like that..." I said.

"But then where are our clothes??? Did they just disappear like whoosh !"She said.

"Look, I don't think anything happened... And even if anything happened then you can not blame it on me!" I said in a cold tone.

"Yeah right, that's why I didn't want to get close to you. Because you are a one night stand expert! Rich, spoilt,cold hearted playboy!" She shouted. What? Did she think like that about me... It really hurt me.

"Yeah right, that's why I didn't want to get close to you. Because you are a one night stand expert! Rich, spoilt,cold hearted playboy!" I didn't even think once before uttering those words.

"I'm... sor.." I tried to apologize but the damage was already done. He cut me off.

"No you are not fucking sorry !" He said banging his fist on the wall which really shook me.

"And you know what! I'm least interested in having an intimate relationship with a girl like you!" I was hurt. We both said things that we shouldn't have said. We had an expertise in hurting each other.

"The feelings are mutual."I said in a cold tone.

I had made up my mind that I was going to enjoy this trip to the fullest! Because nobody could stop me from having the fun of my life here!

Soon, the breakfast was brought to our room. We ate in complete silence. Then we got ready for the day. But none of us uttered a single word from our mouth. We were really pissed at each other.

I wore a simple t-shirt, denim shorts and sports shoes as this was a perfect outfit for an adventurous day.

Soon, our guide arrived.

"Ready guys!?" She asked. Trust me, she was more excited than both of us combined were. We both nodded.

Soon we reached the safari park. The guide was giving us instructions but I wasn't paying any attention to it to be honest. All that was on my head was the fight we had this morning. It disturbed my peace of mind, not that I was happy before that or anything, just saying.

"And if you don't follow these instructions, you can even die. Is that clear?" The guide said. WHAT THE HELL!! I didn't listen to even a single instruction. The guide must have read my mind, so she muttered a 'just kidding' to me and I felt somewhat relieved.

We were then made to go inside a cage like thing. We were told that it was to protect us from carnivores as we were going to witness the big cats all around us.

The cage moved a bit forward and we could spot many rhinoceroses there. But then I saw a sight which made me shut my eyes. Two rhinoceroses were mating.

"Relax they are just animals." The guide said and I gave her a disgusted look.

"But they are living creatures right! How would you feel if you saw two humans having sex right in front of you!" I said in a funny way and the guide laughed. Whereas that Guddu gave me the 'are you serious' look.

The cage moved forward and the forest was getting denser, on the way we saw many animals like zebras. We soon reached the densest part of the place. It was looking so creepy in the day time itself, I couldn't even imagine the sight of this place at night!

Suddenly, a lion lunged at the cage which caught everyone by surprise, more like shock. I got scared to death. The moment I saw that scary lion, I immediately hugged the person standing next to me to feel safe. Oh no, it was Paras obviously.

"Relax, we are safe." He muttered and I suddenly stepped away from him realizing the situation.

"Awww!!!" Our attention was then drifted towards the guide who was clicking our candids. "How cute you guys are!" She said and I laughed awkwardly. The experience at the safari park was quite good except that hug part of course !

The safari park thing was over soon.

"Guys! We'll now go to the water park!" The guide said and we nodded. As we were walking towards the bus, I suddenly started feeling really guilty. I shouldn't have said those things to him.

"Sorry, I'm really very sorry for what I said..." I said catching him by surprise. I saw his lips curve into a small smile but he immediately hid it. He didn't even give a reply.

"Hey! I'm sorry ok ! I was very mean to you!!! But what I mean is, if something happened, I wasn't ready for it! And you know what! We should call it a truce coz we are in this together right! Both of us were forced to marry each other, not that I regret it or anything..." And then I suddenly realized what I said. I looked at him and he was smirking, ughhh those extremely desirable and kissable lips !

He suddenly leaned towards me as if he was going to kiss me. But instead, he whispered huskily near my ear, "I forgive you, and I'm sorry too..."

I had probably become a blushing mess by then. OMG ! Why was I compromising my self respect for this devilishly handsome guy ! Nishtha, get a hold of yourself babe!

"Offo guys! You have the whole night to yourself! No PDA please! We're getting late." The guide said and I nodded. Paras suddenly held my hand and I looked at him, he was smiling genuinely. GOD ! I didn't want to fall in love ! 'Cause falling hurts right?

We settled in the bus and the bus started for the waterpark. My adrenaline level was high, not because I was excited but because I was nervous af.

"I can't swim." I said.

"Hakuna matata!" He replied.

"Means?" I asked.

"No worries." He said and winked at me. He had a smile on his face and his dimple was clearly visible.

When the lion lunged at the cage, Nishtha hugged me really tightly. The lioness herself was officially scared of the real lion. I was really pissed at her earlier that day but all my anger faded away due to her touch. I felt like holding her really tight and never letting go of her but I somehow resisted my urge.

"Relax, we are safe." I muttered and she suddenly stepped away from me. I immediately started missing her warmth. She looked a little embarrassed which made me smile.

"Awwww" Yeah, all along that guide was clicking our pictures.

After the safari, when we were walking towards the bus to go to the waterpark, Nishtha the egoistic girl, said something I could never imagine she could say.

"Sorry, I'm really very sorry for what I said..." Yeah, I was surprised. My lips naturally curved in a small smile but I immediately put my straight face on and didn't say a single word to her as I wanted to hear more from her.

"Hey! I'm sorry ok ! I was very mean to you!!! But what I mean is, if something happened, I wasn't ready for it! And you know what! We should call it a truce coz we are in this together right! Both of us were forced to marry each other, not that I regret it or anything..." She said. I was literally shocked.

She stopped too as she realized what she had said. To be honest, I didn't regret any of it either, except the times when I hurt her. I looked at her lips which were trembling lips. Oh how much I wanted to kiss those perfect lips!

I leaned nearer to her face. I wanted to kiss her so badly. Even she thought that I was going to kiss her, therefore she unknowingly closed her eyes. But I didn't want to give the audience a show... Therefore I just muttered in her ear," I forgive you and I am sorry too..."

She was blushing really hard and was looking really beautiful. What are you doing to me Nishtha??

"Offo guys! You have the whole night to yourself! No PDA please! We're getting late." The guide said interrupting our moment. You can always count on the guide to ruin a romantic moment duh.

I held Nishtha's hand and she looked surprised but I gave her a genuine smile. I was ready. I was ready as hell to forget my past and hold this woman's hand forever. I wanted to give us a chance. We were destined to be together and it was the time to cherish it.

We were then settled in the bus and I don't think Nishtha realized but we were still holding each other's hand.

"I can't swim..." She suddenly said and I smiled. I smiled because she shared a personal thing with me.

"Hakuna matata." I said and she looked at me.

"Means?" She asked innocently.

"No worries."I said and winked at her. When I'm there, you don't need to worry baby
