20.

Everything is on the dining table for breakfast.

“Aaru, come sit with us bachcha…and where is Ryan?" Ruhaan told her before asking about Ryan, not finding him there.

“Dad, he went to change his shirt.." He nodded.

"Come Bhabhi sit here with us,” Aaruhi smiles as Kabir asks her to sit beside him. She sat beside him.

At the same time, Ryan came inside and sat on the empty chair between his mother and wife.

Everyone helps themself with food and have their breakfast.

“The food is very delicious, Bhabhi…I love it," Kris said while stuffing his mouth with mouth watering Aloo Puri.

"Yes,...the food is so good, dear,” Pallavi praised her food and everyone nodded in agreement.

Aaruhi felt so happy as they enjoyed the food. She smiled.

After breakfast, everyone had the Kheer that she made as per the ritual.

Again everyone showers her with praises and compliments her cooking.

“Aaru the food is very tasty, beta…" Siya said as everyone was done with breakfast and now sitting in the living room.

Aaruhi smile and feel satisfied as everyone love the food

She takes a box from the side table and walks to her.

“Here is your gift for your pehli rasoi," Aaruhi looked at the jewellery box and then back at Siya.

"Ma, there is no need to-" Siya cut her word as she place the box in her hands and said,

“It's your right, bachcha…and our blessings to our beautiful daughter," Aaruhi accepts the gift and smiles at her.

Then one by one everyone gives her gifts making her overjoyed with their love for her.

“Badi Ma, Bhai also deserves a gift as he helps Bhabhi in the kitchen," Kabir said, taking everyone's attention.

“Don't worry about it Kabir. I have a gift for Bhai…" Suddenly Aaravi said and forwarded an envelope to Ryan with a wide smile.

Ryan looks at his sister who was grinning  and gestures him to open it. Aaruhi also looked at it curiously.

He frowns seeing two flight tickets inside the envelope and turns to Aaravi with a confused face.

“Flight tickets??" He asked. Aaruhi also looks at Aaravi.

“Yup!! You and my beautiful Bhabhi Jaan are going for a honeymoon tomorrow. So here are the tickets for Shimla. My Bhabhi's favorite destination and also her birthplace…" she said with a smile while Aaruhi looked at her in surprise.

Ryan looks at Aaruhi who blinks her eyes as she looks at him with her blushed cheeks.

“And don't worry about anything. I already informed Rishi Uncle about your visit. He will ask some to clean our Shimla house,"

"But-” Aaruhi opens her mouth to say but is cut off by Aaravi.

“No But, you guys are going. Final.." she stubbornly said.

"Yes, Aaravi is right. Go enjoy yourself. These are days you will get to spend quality time with each other. Then after a few days, you both will eventually get busy in your respective jobs,” Siya said happily.

Ryan and Aaruhi look at each before nodding slowly.

“Come let's go Didu, you and Bhai have to pack your bags. I will help you…" Aaravi said excitedly and drag Aaruhi with her upstairs to help her with packing.

Everyone chuckled at her. Ryan smiles looking at them, going upstairs.

In the Evening

Ryan opened the door of his room and went in. He looked around, not finding Aaruhi there.

He heard his wife's voice coming from the balcony. He slowly walks there and finds her sitting in a recliner while talking to someone on the phone.

As if feeling his presence, Aaruhi turned around. She gave a small smile to him.

“Mumma, I will call you before leaving…okay…bye," she said before hanging up the call.

“I unnecessarily disturb you," he said.

"No you dont. We were talking for a long time…You want something?” She asked.

“No,..." she nodded as they stay silent before Ryan turn to her and ask,

"Is your packing done??” he asked while sitting beside her.

“Yeah…I thought of packing yours too but I don't know what to pack in your suitcase,"

"It's fine, I will pack my stuff after dinner,” she nodded and looked at the sky with a smile.

Ryan looks at her serene face as she admires the evening sky.

“You know I love the evening sky-" she said in a cheerful voice then turned to him with a wide smile on her face and her eyes twinkling with joy.

She went silent seeing him staring at her face with his soft gaze. Her heart beats go insane under his stare.

Ryan's eyes flick to her hair strand which is gently flowing, teasing him by caressing her cheek.

He moves his hand up and tuck that hair strand back before looking at her face which is slowly turning red.

It amuses him how his beautiful wife always manages to turn red just by his single glance.

He smiles thinking that and lightly brushes his thumb on her cherry red cheek.

“You love blushing too…hmm," he asked in a teasing tone, looking at her with a slight smile.

Suddenly her cheek started heating up as he said this. She cupped her face instantly to hide her red cheek.

Ryan let out a chuckle at her cuteness as she hid her cheek with her palms looking like a kid.

She pouted as he laughed at her.

“Stop laughing, Ryann!!" She whines, making him laugh even more.

"I can't help, wifey…You look cute with red cheeks,” he teased her more.

Aaruhi hides her face with her palms to escape from his teasing gaze.

Ryan stops laughing and smiles, seeing her covering her face with her palms.

He removes her hands from her face slowly but she turns her eyes down.

He gently holds her chin and makes her look up at him. She saw his smiling face in front of her eyes which made the butterflies inside her belly excited for no reason.

He pulled her towards him with her hands such that her side was touching his chest. She grasps at him and grip his bicep tightly as he pulls her against him.

He leaned back on the recliner with her in his arms. They stay silent as they watch the sunset. Aaruhi relaxed on him, placing her head on his shoulder and her palm on his chest.

There is peace and content on their face as they watch the sky turning red from orange then slowly stars start appearing in the sky.

As the sky started turning dark, Ryan slowly turned to look down at Aaruhi and saw her looking at his chest in daze while her finger was making some random patterns on his chest.

She is so engrossed in her activity that she forgets she is almost lying over him.

“Don't you want to have your dinner??" She startled badly as he suddenly asked her.

She looked up at him then suddenly her eyes went wide in shock. She quickly sat up and got down hurriedly.

“Oh God!! Ma and Chachi might need me in the kitchen. Here I am lazing around. What they must be think-"

"Calm down, Ruhi…breath,” he said, watching her babbling to herself while searching for her footwear in panic.

She looks up innocently, hearing his soft voice.

“I got late…" she murmured, feeling sad.

Ryan sighs and gives her an assuring smile, holding her hand. He made her sit back.

“You don't have to worry so much. It's your house, Ruhi… living here with a right not with fear. And Ma won't say anything. Trust me when I say she adores you like our Aaravi and not only her but everyone…so stop getting so hyper. She and Chachi will manage. And we have helpers too…" She feels relaxed hearing him.

"Feeling better now…”he asked, seeing her relax.

She nodded at him, making him smile at her. She hugged him suddenly, surprising him with her act. Smiling at her act, he slowly wrapped his arms around her.

“Thank you…" she whispered in his ear while hugging.

She pulled back with a big smile on her face making his heart skip a beat.

Her smile did something to his heart.

He comes back to reality feeling something soft on his cheek which were his wife's lips.

He looks at her as she softly pecks his cheek before rushing out of the balcony with a shy smile.

He chuckled at her shyness and shook his head lightly.

“What are you doing to my heart…" he whispered and sighs deeply, remembering her breathtaking smile on her face.
