19.

Ryan looks at her and stares into her eyes.

“May I?" He asks her permission in his low and soothing voice..

Aaruhi feels butterflies in her stomach. She stares at his eyes then his lips.

Closing her eyes, she leaned towards him and softly placed her lips on his.

A sudden current passes through their body as their lips join together. Their mind went blank for a moment, feeling fireworks inside them. Ryan closed his eyes and softly started to kiss her.

Aaruhi sighs softly as he so gently and lovingly kisses her. She placed her palm on his chest as he deepened the kiss.

She breathes heavily kissing him back showing her love and emotion in the kiss.

Ryan cupped her face with his one hand while the other went around her waist.

After kissing each other for a while, Ryan breaks the kiss and looks at her face which turns red. He softly caresses her red cheek with his thumb.

Aaruhi kept her eyes closed feeling too shy to face him after their first kiss.

Seeing her slightly parted lips as she is taking breath through her mouth. Ryan smiles and again places a soft and quick kiss on her parted lips.

“Are you okay, Ruhi…" he asked, seeing her closed eyes.

Slowly and shyly, she opened her eyes only to see Ryan's charming face in front of her eyes.

He placed a lovingly kiss on her forehead making her sigh in content.

“You are going to spoil me, Ryan…" she whispered.

She loves his touch and his soft little kisses.

Feeling his fingers lightly tracing her jaw, her heart went crazy. She bit her lips as his fingers went a little lower and caressed her throat. She gulped slowly. Her chest going up and down feeling breathless under his touch.

Ryan kisses her cheek making them more red and hot.

Suddenly she hugged him, feeling herself going insane and breathless. She tightly wraps her arms around his shoulder and hides her flushed face in his neck while breathing against his neck.

Ryan embraces her shaking frame and rubs her back to calm her down.

“Are you okay? Did I cro-" she shook her head still hugging him.

"It's beautiful…the feeling you are giving me, Ryan,” she murmured against his neck before pressing her lips on his neck.

He sighs deeply, feeling her soft warm lips on his neck. It's truly a heavenly feeling.

She raises her head slightly while still has her arms around his shoulders.

She looks up to find him already staring at her with something soft and intense in his eyes.

They both again lean towards each other and again their lips meet in an intense yet gentle kiss.

With their eyes closed and their body touching each other's, they passionately devour each other's lips.

Ryan makes her lay down on the bed while kissing her deeply and pouring his all unknown and unsaid feelings in the kiss.

Feeling her back touching the soft mattress, Aaruhi felt like thousands of butterflies dancing in excitement inside her stomach.

She fist his tshirt on his back and lightly tuck it feeling breathless. Ryan leaves her lips, only for his lips to trace her jawline.

“Ryannn…." She breath out in pleasure.

Aaruhi cups his one cheek as he places soft kisses along her jawline. She turns to him and places her lips on jawline earning low moan from him in return.

Their chests touch each other as they breathe heavily due to all the pleasure and excitement they are feeling.

“Umm…” she moans as he kisses her under her jaw.

Ryan looks at her panting hard under him. He felt proud seeing her like this, vulnerable yet beautiful.

Suddenly he remember something and sat up making Aaruhi look at him while breathing deeply. She watch him turn towards nightstand.

She sat up on the bed and at the same time Ryan turn to her with a long red velvet box in his hand.

“This is for you…" he said giving her the box.

She look at his hand then at his face. He give her soothing smile, melting her heart.

She took it from his hand.

“Come on open it and see," Aaruhi smile and nodded before opening the box.

Her smile widen seeing a pair of anklets. She lightly touch it and grin before look at Ryan.

“You like it??"

She nodded smiling brightly.

"I love it…they are beautiful,”

She pull them out of the box and forward to Ryan.

“Make me wear…” Ryan chuckle at her request and nodded happily.

He took them in his hands. Aaruhi stretch her feet forward with a smile.

Ryan remove the anklets she was already wearing. Then he make her wear new one.

He look at her beautiful feet adore with dark mehendi, anklets and toe rings. They are beautiful. He thought as his thumb softly trace her feet from her anklet to toe ring.

Aaruhi slightly move her toes feeling ticklish. Ryan smile and look up at her

Aaruhi looks at him and caresses his face lightly. She smiles then place a small kiss on his cheek.

They lay on the bed closely. Ryan is looking at her mehendi fill hand while Aaruhi stare at him with love filled gaze. She shiver and close her eyes when he started tracing her ankle with his toes, making her anklet create a soft noise.

“Here is my name…" he said as he saw his name written between the intriguing design on her palm.

He looked up with a proud smile only to find his wife's eyes closed. But she slightly open her eyes, hearing him.

Ryan looks at her eyes dropping and chuckles inside.

“Feeling sleepy??…"  he asked as he started running his fingers through her hair gently.

Aaruhi sighs softly, feeling his fingers messaging her scalp and closing her eyes again.

“You are making me sleepy…" she whispered as his foot toes making soothing  random patterns on her feet making her relax and sleepy.

Ryan chuckled seeing her eyes closed. Placing a long kiss on her forehead, he covers her and himself with a blanket.

Aaruhi snuggled into him, feeling him warm and hid her face in his chest.

Ryan smiles seeing her cuddling with him like a baby. Wrapping his arms around her, he whispered softly,

“Good night, Ruhi" and plant a light kiss on her temple.

Aaruhi smiled in half sleep and hum before she finally gave in to her beauty sleep.

Aaruhi frowns, feeling a cold wind on her face. She snuggles more into the warm, hiding herself in Ryan's chest.

Suddenly Ryan moves in his sleep making Aaruhi lazily open her eyes and her heart stop seeing Ryan's face an inch away from her face.

She blink slowly while staring at his peaceful face. A beautiful smile appears on her face seeing her love the first thing in the morning. Having him in your arms. The feeling is out of the world.

Suddenly her eyes fell on his slightly parted lips. Her face started burning as last night appeared in her mind.

They had their first kiss. Her smile wide and red blush covered her cheeks as she remembered their intimate moments of last night.

She comes out of her thoughts when Ryan places his hand on her stomach in sleep.

She looks at the clock to see it's already past 6am.

Giving a one last soft glance to Ryan, Aaruhi slowly gets down off the bed. She properly covered Ryan before she went to freshen up and get ready for her first day in the Roy family.

After half an hour, she comes out of the closet, wearing an embroidered orange saree with a heavy red blouse.

(Aaruhi's look)

She saw Ryan sitting on the bed as he was stretching his arms.

“Good morning," Ryan turns to her as her soft voice reaches his ear.

He looks at her glowing face with a soft loving smile on her face before he gazes at her Saree cladded figure. He felt lost for a moment due to her beauty. She is just too pretty and amazing for his poor heart. And there her smile, God!! He will die one day due to her killer beauty.

“Ryan…" he snapped and again looked up at her face.

"Good morning…," he wished her, seeing her cute frowning face as she stared at him.

“I will go get ready..." saying he got off the bed.

She nodded, then turned to the mirror to get ready.

Ryan watches her filling her hairline with Sindoor. He chuckled a bit, seeing a little bit of Sindoor fall on her nose. Shaking his head, he walked into the bathroom.

After 15 minutes , Ryan comes out all dressed in a white linen shirt and beige trouser.

He saw Aaruhi standing in front of the mirror checking her saree. He walked near her and stood behind her.

Aaruhi startled when he forward his hand to take the comb from the dressing table.

Aaruhi look at him through mirror and asked,

“Am I looking good??" Ryan glanced at her and nodded while busy setting his hair.

She again looks at herself and checks herself from top to bottom in the mirror. Ryan watch her and asked,

“Is there any problem??"

Aaruhi turn toward him and with a nervous look on her face, she said,

"Am I looking alright?? You know, like a newly wedded woman. I don't know how to do make-up so I didn't apply it except this lip gloss. Is it too simple?? Or should I apply darker on-” Ryan put his finger on her lips stopping her from further babbling.

“Shh…relax, wifey. You are looking gorgeous. Don't worry, okay," Aaruhi blinked her eyes then slowly nodded while his index finger was still on her lips.

"But.." he said, then looked at her face. Aaruhi waited for him with fear and confusion on her face.

He again looks back at her glossy pink lips and smiles before pecking them lightly. She went still for a second then looked at his smiling face with her surprise eyes.

“There is too much lip gloss so…" he trails, making her cheek turn deep red.

She hides her smile and lightly brushes her hair back.

Ryan smiles seeing her smiling while blushing.

“Everyone must be waiting for us? Let's go,"  Aaruhi nodded and held his hand.

"Wait!.." suddenly Aaruhi stop him

Ryan looks at her with a frown but soon it disappears when she gently rubs her thumb on his lips, wiping the lip gloss from his lips. She smile then look at him,

“There was lip gloss on your lips,"  he smiled seeing her biting her lips to control herself from smiling.

He nodded before they went downstairs.

“Here comes our newly wedded!….come Didu. We are all waiting for you guys," Aaravi exclaimed seeing them coming down.

Ryan walks her and kisses her head before taking Abheer from her. Aaruhi stood beside him and smiled at her cute nephew.

Then she looks at Siya and Pallavi and about to bend to touch their feet but Siya stops her.

“Aaru bachcha, you don't have to do this. Come give a hug to your Ma," Aaruhi grinned and hugged her.

Siya smiles and pat her head and kisses her head.

“Always stay happy,”

Ruhaan who was sitting beside Siya smiled and placed his hand on her head giving her blessings.

Then Aaruhi hugged Pallavi and Kritika before she sat between Aaravi and Ryan.

She looks at Abheer who is giggling and playing with Ryan. She admired them with a smile when she felt a nudge from the side and turned to see Aaravi looking at her with a teasing smile.

“So how was the wedding night??" She asked, raising her eyebrows.

Hearing her, Aaruhi felt her cheeks burning remembering last night.

Suddenly Aaravi's smile widened even more seeing her flushed face. She let out a giggle and said,

“It’s okay, you don't have to say anything. Your face says it all…You both are so cute,” Aaruhi playfully rolls her eyes at her wild imagination. Then smile seeing her smiling ear to ear.

“Shut up, Aavi…And where is Abhi??"  As she asked her, Aaravi's smile fell and an angry look took over her face.

"Don't talk to me about your idiot brother. Stupid man…” Aaruhi chuckled silently looking at her red nose in anger.

“What happened now??" Aaravi pouted angrily.

"I don't wanna talk about him…” she murmured and rolled her eyes.

Siya who was sitting beside her shook her head at her daughter's antics.

"Aaru beta, leave her. It's nothing new…” Aaravi looks at her mother with a jaw drop while Aaruhi giggles softly nodding her head.

“Today is your Pehli rasoi…you know na," Aaruhi nodded.

"As per the ritual, you have to cook something sweet. Come we will help you,” Siya said as they stood up and walked towards the kitchen.

Aaruhi first did a small ritual by putting tika on the stove and taking blessings as she is going to cook for the first time for her new family.

“Ma, I will do it. You go and sit with others," Aaruhi said, stopping her from doing anything.

“It's okay, dear. I will hel-"

"It's my first day, Ma. Let me prepare food for everyone… ” Aaruhi softly said, holding her hand.

“How will you manage to cook for everyone? Let me assist you, Aaru," Aaruhi shook her head.

"I will manage, Ma. Don't worry. Just go and sit with others,” Aaruhi assured her.

Seeing Aaruhi adamant, finally Siya gave up and went out.

Tying her hair in a bun and tucking her saree on her waist, Aaruhi first washed her hands before she started preparing for breakfast and dessert.

Ryan comes inside and stops at the entrance seeing her gracefully walking around the kitchen while preparing breakfast.

“Need help, Mrs. Roy??" Aaruhi looked up hearing a deep voice of her husband and saw Ryan coming inside the kitchen.

He stood in front of her on the other side of the kitchen counter. He saw her skillfully cutting vegetables. Then look at the stove where something is cooking in a deep pan.

Aaruhi wiped her hands with a clean towel and looked at him with a thank you smile.

“Thank you but I will manage…" saying she put another cookware on the stove.

Ryan walks around the counter and stands beside her.

“It's my first rasoi also, Ruhi. I should also contribute too, right?"  Aaruhi give him an amusing look before chuckling at his words.

"Your first rasoi?? How??” she asked with a smile on her lips as she turned on the stove.

Ryan gives her a Ghee container as she tries to reach for it.

“I am cooking for the first time as your husband so it's my first rasoi too…" Aaruhi laughed then turned to face him.

Ryan gives her his charming smile while staring at her laughing so beautifully.

“Well then…we should start," Aaruhi said before turning her attention back to cooking.

Ryan nodded and started helping her in cooking as much as he could. He knows how to cook but now looking at his wife, he feels like his cooking skill is nothing in front of her's.
