Alan was sound asleep in his bed. Akshar was a little too excited to fall asleep but was a little too tired to join the late night activities at the resort. He was flipping the channels and was looking for something nice to watch. He seemed quiet comfortable in his shorts and his T-shirt and was slightly sitting up on the bed with one hand holding the remote and the other supporting his neck so that is slightly above the pillow. Diya was reading a book next to him with her night lamp on. Akshar was happy that she had kept her promise and had not picked up any documents related to work and was actually reading a book. After flipping through the channels for a while and finishing up two beers he found something interesting to watch. He was a typical guy, in the sense that he loved electronics and this was one such program that he was watching and found it to be very fascinating. Diya continued to read her book and had finished three chapters. It was slowly getting interesting even though she was a bit bored by the details about the characters the environment. She thought about the author for a moment and said to herself, "Too much patience to observe and write something like this, but have to hand it to you the story line is actually well written to even keep me reading." She was not a much of a reader, she would rather watch a movie that is if she had the time. But this one was about a murder plot and how it was executed and how the killer outsmarts the police. The story was well written with just eight characters and that is why it was a big seller and that is exactly why Akshar bought it and had read it and recommended it to her.
Akshar was so involved in the show he had not finished a couple of more beers and made a clinging noise when he left it on the floor is when Diya looked up and noticed the time on the clock. Yes, they were on vacation but the little one's clock doesn't change because they were on vacation. She got up and checked on Alan and turned off the lights and noticed that the number of beer bottles next to Akshar's side of the bed. He face turned into a frown. She waslked over to his side and removed the bottles and locked the fridge that was there and took away the key and got back into bed. Just then the show ended and Akshar noticed the expression on her face and looked puzzled. He gave out a big burp and he realized that he had more beers than he had intended and there by breaking his work to Diya. Before they got back to the room, as Alan was very sleepy, he had consumed enough alcohol with dinner and had promised himself that he will not have more than one. Diya had warned him not to get carried away and that was exactly what had happened. He got up and brushed his teeth and got back to bed. He leaned towards Diya and said, "I am sorry. I got a little carried away" and kissed her on her cheek. Diya turned towards him and said, "It is my fault too. I was right next to you and should have noticed. Instead I was so much engaged in the book and didn't pay any attention to you." Akshar asked, "So you like it? How far have you read now?" Diya gently ran her fingers on his chest through his unbuttoned T-shirt and said, "I am on chapter 6 now. He met this girl at the bar and she was quiet impressed by him and has invited him in for coffee. Is she the one he is going to murder?” Diya asked with excitement in her voice. Akshar replied, “If I tell you that there will be any fun reading?. Diya said, “True” and tightened her grip around his neck and closed her eyes. “Thanks for planning this vacation. I am starting to unwind.” Akshar said, “You are welcome. Good night”.
