Shlok's POVStruggling to return to my spot, I suddenly noticed a bar of soap among the plane wreckage. Turning back to her, I saw her immersed in the water, surrounded by flowers, resembling a princess bathing in a floral paradise.She looked so adorable when she blushed and turned red. Handing her the soap, her face lit up, and I teased her about helping with her back, which only earned me a sharp response.But I couldn't resist teasing her further, offering to soap her back, watching her squirm with embarrassment. She was adorable when flustered.I gave her my T-shirt to use as a towel and then washed it. She was reluctant but agreed to do it saying that it was for the first and last time she would do it. And I wanted her to wash our clothes together for the rest of our lives. I went away before I could get away and do something wrong. I went to get the stems and big palm leaves to make a shelter. As she spread our clothes out to dry, I busied myself with creating a shelter a

Without hesitation, I pulled her up, urging her to stand."You fool, can't you follow simple instructions?" I scolded, feeling a surge of irritation. But she resisted, just as she always did.Shaking my head in disbelief, I lifted her onto my shoulder, and I trudged across the riverbank. Once there, I dropped her unceremoniously, annoyed at her stubbornness.As she struggled to regain her composure, I couldn't help but notice her discomfort, her soaked shoes hindering her movements."You need to get out of those wet clothes, or you'll catch a fever," I advised, swallowing my frustration. She dismissed my concern with a stubborn refusal."No!! They'll dry on their own," she insisted, her defiance grating on my nerves."Please, just change into dry clothes. It's for your own sake," I urged, feeling a pang
Shlok's POVA small stream flowed swiftly there. It was a beautiful place, the water was so clear and fresh that I was tempted to jump in and take a proper bath again. I was just thinking about it when she started washing her clothes, I wrapped a sheet around me and started discarding my clothes and asked her to wash my clothes as well. She was reluctant but when I pleaded, she agreed to do it. I started cutting the wood for the wood stove. I don't know why I was feeling so good watching her washing my clothes... Though she looked angry... She was one of the most beautiful girls in the world. Awww... Honey, you look so pretty washing my clothes. It was very intimate... I felt good as I am sure she had never even washed Mihir's handkerchief.I didn't realise but I was whistling and humming while cutting wood.She started scrubbing my clothes violently as if she wanted to take out her anger on them.

Gaurvi's POV In the last few days, I found myself enveloped in the warmth of my family's care.

He wrapped his arms around me, holding me close, "It's alright, Honey," he murmured, his voice barely audible above the crackling of the flames. "Everything's going to be alright. You're safe now, I promise. It has gone!! Will not come back." He said and I burst into tears. As he drew me more into his arms, enveloping me in a cocoon of warmth and safety, I felt a flicker of hope ignite within me, banishing the darkness that had threatened to engulf me. " Calm down, Honey!! " He said caressing my head. " I told you.... the..there can be... a ghost here," I said while my body was still shivering. " Oh, honey!! I am sorry...

Why was I pleading with him to sleep beside me?? But I was just telling him to sleep as I was scared... Why did he make the sarcastic remark about Mihir?? Because he doesn't want me... Why would he be, when he had such a wide range of girls to choose from?? Why couldn't he directly say that he didn't want me? But he has been saying it forever, why am I imposing myself on him? " You don't have to worry about him... but I got your point, I don't want you either. I prefer that ghost over you. Thanks a lot for whatever you have done till now and sorry for everything I did...

And doesn't your mom react when your dad does it?? Because it is irritating." I asked. Though I was feeling good. " She yells and calls him names... But he doesn't mind it.
