25.

“Heyy my baby….are you missing Bua!?" Abheer giggles, clapping his hand looking at Aaruhi on the screen.

Aaruhi smiles and chuckles at him.

"Don't worry, I will be back soon to my little cupcake,” She lovingly said, making Abheer bobble his head cutely.

“Don't worry, Didu. Just enjoy your honeymoon. And My Abheer will be happier if you give him a cute little sibling, haina baby?! " Aaravi said from behind Abheer giving Aaruhi a teasing smile.

Aaruhi gasps at her words, feeling her cheek burning hot and her whole face literally resembling a red tomato.

“What are you both talking about?" Suddenly Ryan comes to the balcony and stands behind Aaruhi.

He smiles seeing Abheer babbling in his baby language. Aaruhi looked at him by turning slightly towards him and saw him really close to her making her heart skip a beat.

“How is my little fighter? Abheer…" Abheer looks at him and grins cutely showing his two tiny teeth.

Aaruhi looks back at the screen and smiles brightly.

"Hello Bhai….” Aaravi said.

"Hello to My big baby…” he teases making Aaravi scowl at him playfully.

Aaruhi giggles seeing her fake glaring at Ryan.

“Bhaii!!!" Now Ryan let out a little laughter seeing her expected reaction.

“Okay okay…how is everyone??" He asked her and unconsciously wrapped his arms around Aaruhi's waist making her look at him to see him looking at the phone with a smile as he talked to Aaravi.

Aaruhi felt butterflies fluttering in her tummy making her inside tickle. She slightly bites her lips and controls her smile at the feeling of his warmth.

“Where is Abhi??" Aaruhi blinked her eyes, coming back to her senses, and looked at Aaravi on screen while trying her best not to blush.

“Manyu is in the study with Dadu…” Aaravi informed hugging Abheer to her chest as he was feeling sleepy.

“Abheer is sleepy, Bhai. I will call later, okay,” Ryan nodded while Aaruhi smiled at her.

They ended the call.

As they hang up, Aaruhi leans against his chest placing her hand above his hands that are locked around her waist.

They stay like this enjoying being in each other embrace in silence while gazing at the moon.

Aaruhi has a smile on her face as she loves this feeling, this moment. It feels like a dream to her.

Ryan gazed at her beautiful glowing face under the moonlight and felt himself getting lost in her beauty.

Aaruhi suddenly looks at him, slightly turning her face while he is busy staring at her.

They froze and stared into each other's eyes with passion and their unknown and unsaid emotions.

Suddenly a soft gush of cold air passed through them. Aaruhi smiles seeing his silky hair fall on his forehead giving him a boyish look.

Aaruhi forwards her arms and lightly brushes his hair from his forehead. Ryan closes his eyes and leans towards her gentle touch.

But suddenly his eyes snap open feeling her soft lips on the side of his lips. He looks at Aaruhi to find her looking at him with a beautiful smile.

They share intense eye contact for a second before Aaruhi's gaze flicks to his lips before looking back at his eyes.

“May I?…" She whispers in her sweet voice ever so softly making Ryan's heart skip a beat.

He looks at her eyes which are staring at his eyes innocently, waiting for his approval. He chuckled softly, finding her looking so adorable and innocent at that moment.

He just pulled her to himself with a soft jerk, making their lips touch. Aaruhi blushed before smiling against his lips and closing her eyes.

Her hands cup his neck lightly as they get lost in their moment. Her fingers caressing his nape making Ryan sigh against her mouth.

Ryan pulled her face a little up and deepened the kiss.

Slowly their kiss intensifies and their bodies brush against each other.

Ryan pulled back slightly, taking a deep breath. His eyes darken looking at the beautiful mess in front of him.

Aaruhi unknowingly tightens her hold around his neck while looking at him with a shy and content look on her face.

“What are you doing to me and my heart?" Ryan whispered, placing his forehead against her.

Aaruhi just stares at him with her love-filled eyes. Ryan couldn't help but perk her lips softly.

Aaruhi sighs and closes her eyes, feeling his warm lips.

Ryan loves the way she reacts to his touch and kisses. It tempts him to do more.

Feeling his gaze on her, Aaruhi felt shy so she just hugged him tightly, hiding her face in his neck.

Ryan smiles at her and wraps his arms around her, hugging her close to him.

“Ryan…" she murmured near his ear to which he hummed softly while caressing her back gently.

"You know you make me so happy… ” she said as she relaxed in his arms. Her arms loosely wrap around his shoulders.

His heart started thudding loudly inside his ribs hearing her and his smile widened.

“I wanted to tell you something…" she nervously whispered before slowly raising her face to look at him.

Ryan looked at her face. Looking at her nervousness, he placed his lips on her forehead making her heart relax and calm,

“I am listening…" he lovingly said giving her an encouraging smile

Aaruhi's heart is filled with love and adoration for him at his little action and how he understands her emotions without any words.

“I love you…" she said looking into his eyes which were filled with warmth.

Ryan went still, hearing her, and stared at her face trying his best to hide his surprise.

But his expression gave away his shock.

Aaruhi suddenly panicked when he didn't say anything and just stared at her in pure shock.

“I s..shouldn't have..say this right!?" She mutters to her but Ryan can hear her.

He comes out of the shock and notices her panicked and scared expression which makes him feel guilty.

“I...I don't mean to-….You don't have to say anything. I..I-" She said looking at him with slightly glossy eyes and started moving back from him.

Ryan's eyes soften seeing her twinkling eyes due to unshredded tears and he gently pulls her back in his arms, close to his heart.

“Shh…relax," he said, cupping her right cheek.

Aaruhi blinked, looking at him still feeling anxious. Her palms placed flat on his chest and the feeling of his heartbeats under her palm, unknowingly calming her racing heart.

“You don't have to say anything. I just wanted to tell you my feelings. How you make me feel so loved and cherished. And wanted to tell you I am really lucky to have you, Ryan," She told him as she slightly lowered her lashes and her fingers softly caressing his chest feeling his heartbeat fasten.

Ryan's heart melted, hearing her sweet confession. And now he is clueless about how to react and what to say. He was feeling so much right now but he felt speechless.

Aaruhi smiles slightly, feeling his heart thudding loudly under her palm and looking up at his face to find him intensely looking at her.

“Your heart…it's beating so loudly, Ryan" she whispered, rubbing the left side of his chest as if trying to calm his heart.

"Because of you…." He told her, making her suck a breath.

“You expect it to stay calm after your love confession. It was already crazy for you. Now God save me and my poor heart from your sweet torture," He said with a sigh but a smile appeared on his face when Aaruhi let out a soft chuckle.

It makes him feel content, to see her glowing and happy face.

"I am the lucky one here to have your love. I don't know if I really deserve your love-”

He stops when Aaruhi silent him, placing her palm on his mouth and glares at him.

“Don’t say this. I know what I am doing, Ryan. I know what my heart wants and deserves. It's you, Ryan. If you don't deserve my love then no one else deserves it. Loving you gives me peace…" she said seriously, looking deep into his eyes.

“And you don't have to feel compelled to reply to me or love me back. I didn't confess my feelings to force you to love me back. Trust me I am really happy and content with you like this only. You are more than enough for me, Ryan..,"

Hearing her, Ryan doesn't know how many times his heart skips a beat. How can someone be so selfless and lovable.

He tilted his face towards her and placed his lips on her.

“It will not be hard to fall in love with you, Ruhi. And please not be so selfless, Meri Jaan…"  he murmured against her lips.

How can someone be so selfless? After giving her heart to him and loving him, she wants nothing.

Aaruhi smiled and started kissing him softly, sulking his lips as she pulled him closer by his shirt.

She let out a displeasing sigh when Ryan removed his lips from her only for her to suck a sharp breath when he pressed his lips on her jaw and trail kisses to her neck.

“You always make me go insane…" Ryan murmured again her skin, just below her ear.

Aaruhi grabs his neck and pulls him more into her, wanting more.

He slammed her against the balcony and started kissing her furiously.

“Ummhh…Ryaa..n" she breathes out between her moan when he sucks the base of her neck.

“Stop me-.."

"Don't…” she cut him and tightly grabbed his nape.

Ryan pulls back and glances at her red face before kissing her throat sensually. Aaruhi throws her head back while her hand presses his face into his neck.

He started kissing her throat and moving down his lips all the way to her upper chest . He groaned at the feeling of her smooth and warm skin against his desperate lips.

Aaruhi felt her knees weak as his lips placed a soft sensual kiss just above her left chest.

Before she could stumble, Ryan held her by her waist and looked at her red face. She is a breathless mess and looks absolutely heavenly in his eyes.

He placed a small kiss on her lips and smiled softly, making her look at him with her dropping eyes filled with desire and shyness.

He picked her up in his arms and made his way inside the room while Aaruhi stared at him intensely with her chest going up and down as sudden excitement rushed through her body.

“You lied to me!! My whole life I dream about him and love him but seeing what I got. He is married!!!” Trisha shouts angrily while crying silently looking at the person standing in front of her.

“Why?? I want him…I can't imagine my life without him," She cried falling back on the floor.

She felt arms around her making her lean into the warmth and cry her heart out.

“Shh…don't cry, my child. I will make everything okay. Trust me. He was always yours and will always be yours. You trust me??” Trisha looks up with teary eyes before nodding her head slowly.

“He got married…" she whispered as a tear rolled down her eyes

“It doesn't matter. He was promised to you then he is yours and no one can come in between. Now go and rest. And leave everything on me," Trisha smiled hearing this before nodding and walking away with a peaceful smile on her face.

The person looks at her going away before calling someone on the phone.

“Prepare for my visit to Delhi…" and hung up the call.

"Finally the time has come…”
