The next morning Teja woke up by the constant ringing of her phone. 
"Karan Kundra", the phone screen showed. 
A little confused, a little concerned and majorly sleepy , she picked up the call.
"Good morning baby" Karan said sweetly.
Teja smiled in her half asleep state and wished him morning too .
"Freshen up and meet me in fifteen minutes."
"What? Whyy ?"
"You will know that soon. I will be waiting, see you ."
Teja's sleep disappeared instantly. 
Her phone said that it was 5:15 am and she could not think of any reason behind Karan asking her to get ready this early in the morning.
She freshend up , switched her night suit with a casual and comfy loungewear co ord set , tied her hair up in a ponytail and went to the living room right on time.
Karan saw her and walked towards her. 
"My punctual baby T " he said and hugged her . 
Teja was still lost due to the actions and the endearment he used for her when Karan quickly pecked her cheek and pulled her with him towards the backyard .
They reached the backyard and Teja finnally managed to ask "Where are you taking me? "
"Beach. To watch a beautiful sunrise." He answered. 
Teja stopped her steps and stared at him. 
"Are you serious. You woke me up for this." She said.
"I thought you would like it." Karan mumbled being confused, not expecting that reaction from Teja. 
"And to wake me up, you got up even more earlier, after being so tired last night. Oh God, I love you." Teja said and hugged him. 
This was a releif for Karan. 
He hugged her tighter and asked "For whom was that love you for? Me or God. "
"Obviously God ." Teja said and took a pause for a few seconds. 
She turned her face to look at him, and continued , "For bringing you in my life. "
They both smiled at each other and were about to kiss when they heard someone's footsteps approaching which made them pull back. 
Jos arrived a second later and said "Good morning. Do you guys need something."
"No. Nothing. We were just going for a walk by the beach." Karan said.
"Oh , so let me get the keys of the door, it's locked." Jos said and sprinted inside.
"Sometimes I feel that the universe conspires against us to stop us from kissing each other." Karan said disappointed.
This made Teja chuckle . She patted his back a little and said, "that's not true."
"I can prove it" he said and leaned to kiss her , but again they were interrupted by Jos's footsteps. 
"See , I told you." Karan said with a shrug.
"That's simply called poor timing" Teja said as a matter of fact.
Karan was about to reply to her ,but Jos came back with keys in his hands and walked towards the back door and opened it for them.
The beach was only a minute walk away. 
Karan and Teja started walking towards it and Jos stayed at his place staring them.
Teja noticed and informed Karan about it.
