Early in the morning, we start our travel to Coorg. Krish was driving, I was seated in the passenger seat while Mathew and Sahana occupied the back seat. Throughout the journey, we played different games, ate a lot of snacks, and also even mocked each other. As we started driving up the hills, I got doubted where were we going to stay. My doubt was cleared as Mathew told me that he owns a house there and we will be staying at his house. On the way, we stop by a small tea shop along the roadside to quickly drink a glass of tea and refill our energy. While drinking I was looking around and admired the beautiful scenery. During the sightseeing, I catch a glimpse of a man who looked familiar to me, as he saw me within no time he was in front of us and that's when I realized that he was Sahana's uncle, the one who had been messing around with Mathew. As usual, he came and started having a heated conversation with Mathew about handing over Sahana to him. I looked at Krish, I notice his lips pressed to a tight line and his fist closed tightly, I knew what this meant and what he was going to do. He took a few steps ahead while I hold his elbow and pull him back.
"STOP IT!", I yelled, "Krish and Mathew both of you step back right now and you so-called uncle of Sahana if you cared so much for her you must have been her side and taken responsibility long back when she needed it and not now coming and arguing with us after the adoption, now she legally belongs to our family, so now stop all this nonsense. And you both get in the car and calm down yourself.", I yelled at everyone there and put a full stop to the whole drama.
We resumed our travel and after an hour we were in front of Mathew's house. We entered the double-storey house with an amazing hall with marble flooring, a home theatre system, and a beautiful milk-white sofa set. There was a modular kitchen with a grey theme, I took a stroll around the kitchen and it had all the necessary vessels, and groceries, and also the fridge was filled with fruits and vegetables. The house was completely painted using the colors white and different shades of grey. Every single bedroom had an attached bathroom, a cot, two chairs, and two cupboards. I instantly fell in love with the house and then we chose the rooms and walked to our respective places. As soon as we enter the room Krish throws himself on the bed and falls asleep within seconds.
That day we completely spent it in the house without going out anywhere. We had a pillow fight in which Sahana won obviously she is a champ in it. Then we watch some good movies as soon as it ended Sahana wanted to show something to Krish so she took him with her. I was happy to see how they both had bonded well. Krish can't even tolerate a day without seeing her, and Mathew was very pleased with this gesture of Krish with her daughter.
The next day we started with the touring. We visit Abbey falls first, the beautiful scenery located between the natural greenery of coffee plantations and spice estates. The falls had their own beauty, water flowing down over the rocks into the pool and the roaring sound of the waterfall was so loud that it could be even heard from a pretty good distance. We stood on the hanging bridge enjoying the amazing sight of the waterfall and even clicked a few pictures there.
Next, we visit the Harangi dam which was situated in a village in the Coorg district. I heard that this dam was the first ever dam which was built across the River Cauvery. It had a marvelous view of forceful streams of water. It was a very good spot for a family outing, we could relax and spend quiet and calm moments with my family. The calm setting and cool gentle breeze made my time even more enjoyable there. It was an awesome place to click beautiful pictures. Then Krish and I visit the Cauvery temple which was located quite nearby to the dam.
Then we drive back home, Mathew cooked a very delicious meal for all of us. We end up the day with a glass of buttermilk. Krish sat on the couch completely exhausted, he put on his arm on my shoulder blades and wrapped the other around my waist as I sit next to him.
"Will I be a good father?", he asked caressing my belly
"You surely will", I said to him as I kissed his cheek
"I hope so"
"I know you love this child a lot and you are just scared about playing a parent role, but you know what don't worry at all you will surely pass this test and be the best father ever known"
"I hope so", I could still find worry in his voice
"Stop thinking about it"
"Hmm... Megha shall we watch some movie?", he asks.
I nod in excitement and start hunting for a good romantic movie to watch. After scrolling through Netflix for a while, I was fed up all the suggestions were damn good and I was struggling to choose so I decided to ask the person who has been very clingy to me for a long time.
"Krish", I call out his name, but no reply from the other end
"Krish Malhotra what movie do you want to watch", I ask calmly, still no reply. I turn around and find my dear husband sleeping soundly. What great guy is he? He wanted to watch a movie and the next moment he is fallen asleep. He looks breathtakingly attractive even while sleeping, shit how long have I been staring at him? I put the mobile phone aside and carefully place my head on his chest without disturbing him and soon drift off to sleep, snuggling into his chest and inhaling his scent.
