Be with you
Zurich is a highly appealing destination in Switzerland. This largest city in Switzerland is known for its high quality of life, along with being one of the most expensive places to live in the world. Even some of the world’s major banks originate from this location.
The city is situated on the northern shores of Lake Zurich and is surrounded by the beauty of the Alps mountains. Its urban structure is very well organized, and many professionals reside here. The city boasts a wealth of social and public facilities, earning it the nickname of the happiest city in the world.
Zurich is also known as a city that never sleeps, offering a plethora of attractions, from the Old Town and museums to exclusive shopping centers and hilltop locations for enjoying Zurich’s beauty from above. The city’s streets are dominated by various modes of public transportation, including trams. Apart from the lake, the city is also bordered by other rivers such as the Limmat and Sihl.
However, this time, Kaivan and Anne’s destination isn’t Zurich. After leaving the airport area, the man encouraged his wife to take a train to Interlaken. This was certainly a new experience for Anne, as she had never used this mode of transportation before.
“Is this safe?” Anne asked hesitantly, which only made Kaivan laugh.
“You’re quite funny. Riding the train is enjoyable. I bet you’ll be hooked.”
Indeed, throughout the journey to Interlaken, Anne was mesmerized by the beautiful scenery unfolding before her eyes. The sight of the Alps mountains with Lake Thun was breathtaking. Anne even took out her phone from her bag to capture a few pictures of what she found interesting.
Upon arriving at the Interlaken station, Kaivan immediately led Anne to a waiting car. He swiftly transported his wife to the hotel he had booked well in advance.
“You arranged all of this?” Anne asked after she had finished freshening up. 30 minutes ago, they had finally reached one of the famous hotels in Interlaken.
“Of course,” Kaivan replied. He then took his wife’s wrist and led her to the balcony, showcasing the spectacular surroundings of the hotel. “I even asked Mike for recommendations on the best places to visit.”
Anne nodded, a clear smile on her beautiful face. Her eyes scanned the surroundings, taking in the row of mountains in front of her.
“This is exactly as I imagined,” she said. Then she turned to Kaivan, wrapping both her hands around his neck. “Thank you. You’re really good at making me happy.” She tiptoed and reached for Kaivan’s lips, kissing him deeply, expressing the joy she was feeling.
“Whatever it is, as long as I can, I’ll strive to give you anything you want,” Kaivan replied after breaking the kiss.
“You’re really good at driving me crazy,” Anne praised.
“Of course. You’re so lucky to be my wife. Out there, many would like to be in your position.”
Anne nodded in agreement, confirming her husband’s words.
“Yes, you’re right. Veronica almost killed me because she couldn’t accept being replaced. What surprises me is how you could have a former like her.”
“Oh my goodness…” Kaivan sighed lazily. Why, during such a romantic moment, was his wife talking about another woman? Apparently, she was delighted to bring up stories from the past. “Why bring up Veronica?” he protested.
“Well, if I knew about your other exes, I might mention the others too,” Anne retorted casually. She knew very well that women have a tendency to bring up the past.
“Alright, I give up,” Kaivan said, raising his hands. “Please, let’s not talk about the past. Besides, whether it’s now, tomorrow, or forever, you’re the only one in my heart.”
Anne laughed, thoroughly enjoying seeing Kaivan so helpless. In the past, before they became an actual husband and wife, he used to be so dominant. Unquestionable, unbeatable, and not to forget, incredibly stubborn. That was far from the case now, especially since Anne entered her pregnancy. Kaivan transformed into someone who often gave in, was gentle, and always tried to accommodate everything his wife asked for.
“Yes, I believe you wouldn’t hurt me.” Anne smiled. “By the way, what else are we going to do after this?”
“For now, let’s have dinner first. Then rest. Tomorrow morning, I’ll take you around. Can you manage?” Kaivan double-checked. He was aware that his wife was currently pregnant. He was afraid she might still be tired from the rather long train ride earlier.
“No problem. I’m perfectly fine, Kai. I’ve already told you, there’s no need to go overboard.”
“Alright then, let’s go to the restaurant now. After that, you need to rest,” Kaivan invited.
*****
Early in the morning, Anne and Kaivan were already preparing for their journey. After finishing their breakfast, the couple walked a short distance from the hotel to the Interlaken West train station.
When the train arrived at the station, they immediately took the route from Interlaken West to Jungfraujoch, with a total travel duration of about two hours.
At exactly eleven o’clock, Kaivan and Anne finally arrived at Jungfraujoch. An excited feeling enveloped both of them. They were eager to explore every corner of the Swiss mountain at an altitude of 3, 454 meters.
The Jungfraujoch tour began at the Jungfrau Panorama, which showcased a 360° cinematic experience lasting 4 minutes. Satisfied with that, they continued their journey to the Sphinx Terrace. The couple chose to take the fastest lift in Switzerland, which took them to the Sphinx Observatory in just 27 seconds. From there, they could enjoy the beauty of the Aletsch Glacier from a high vantage point.
Anne and Kaivan visited so many fascinating places this afternoon. Starting from the Alpine Sensation to get an overview of the Jungfrau Region from ancient times to the present. Then they proceeded to the Ice Palace.
“How is it?” Kaivan asked when they decided to take a short break to have lunch at Kleine Scheidegg. He didn’t want Anne to run out of energy, as she had been so enthusiastic about walking around, seeking interesting spots.
“This is absolutely insane. I’ve never been this excited. It’s the first time I’ve been to such an amazing place,” Anne replied as she enjoyed the food in front of her.
“Then quickly finish your lunch. After this, we’ll go to your dream place.”
Anne looked at him, her brow furrowing.
“Dream place?”
“Yes,” Kaivan nodded. “We’re going to Lauterbrunnen and Mürren.”
Anne’s eyes widened. She was surprised and delighted that her dream of visiting the most beautiful villages in Switzerland was coming true. Not wanting to waste any time, after finishing her lunch, Anne immediately pulled Kaivan’s arm to urge him to leave right away.
Lauterbrunnen is one of the most beautiful villages in Switzerland, situated at an altitude of 802 meters. There are many waterfalls in the village, but the most famous ones are Staubbach and Trümmelbach Falls. There, Kaivan and Anne intentionally walked leisurely to enjoy the breathtaking scenery the village had to offer.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
“Thank you,” Anne said as they stood not far from the waterfall. She reached for Kaivan’s wrist and held it tightly. “Thank you for all the surprises and gifts you’ve given me.”
Kaivan nodded, returning Anne’s handhold and replied, “I should be the one thanking you. Because up to this moment, you’ve been willing to stand by my side. You’ve even gone through the effort of carrying my own flesh and blood. So, what I’m giving you doesn’t compare to what you’ve done for me.”
“Does that mean you’re so in love with me now?” Anne asked, squinting her eyes.
“Not just love. Maybe now, I’m head over heels for you,” Kaivan answered confidently. This response made Anne burst into laughter. “Why are you laughing? I’m serious,” Kaivan protested.
“No…” Anne murmured. “I’m just reminded of your past statements where you repeatedly said I’m not your type.”
“Oh, come on!” Kaivan sighed again. Why did Anne always bring up the past? “Can’t you forget that one statement? I’ve even apologized countless times.”
“Alright… alright… don’t pout like that, dear,” Anne coaxed when she saw Kaivan getting irritated. “No matter what you were like before, what matters now is that I love you just as much.”
Kaivan smiled. He could never stay angry, let alone hold onto annoyance with his beloved wife. After contentedly touring Lauterbrunnen with Anne, they decided to head back at 5 p. m. They needed to rest, as there were still a few places to visit tomorrow.
