Shivani looked at Mrityunjay, her eyes wide in disbelief, "What... what did you say...?" she asked, her breath slightly laboured.
Mrityunjay narrowed his eyes, the smile fading from his face slowly. He held her face captive in his hands, "Elope with me," he repeated, looking at her intently.
"YEAAAAYYYYYY!!" she screamed as she hugged him close. "Yes, yes, yes!" she repeated, "let's go, I know exactly where we are going," she tried to get off him, unable to contain her excitement.
He pulled her back to him, looking at her, a wide smile on his face. "Where do you think you are going?" he asked her, indulgently.
Shivani looked at him, unsure. "Let's go. Put a few of your old clothes into a back pack and let's move," she suggested, not understanding what the problem was.
