47.

Few days later

Looking exhausted, Aaruhi entered her room as she came back from her office. She resumed going to her office. Placing her handbag on the bed, she lay down with her legs hanging out of the bed.

After a while, she sat and removed her heels before deciding to freshen up and change her formal outfit.

To take her clothes, she walked into the closet. She frowns seeing balloons and a few shopping bags along with a small cute pink rose plant placed with them. A small confused smile formed on her face seeing everything beautiful arranged in the middle of the closet.

She saw a card among the things and opened it.

‘Hi, my love. A small surprise for my queen. I hope you like them❤️.’

She smiles widely reading this and checks the shopping bags excitedly.

She gasps seeing a very gorgeous pastel blue dress and silver heels in another bag. There is also a tiny bag, she took it and found a small velvet box in it. Opening it, she saw beautiful diamond studs.

Her heart filled with warmth. Her eyes then fall on a small rose plant with few fresh flowers in it. She touched the soft petal of pink rose and grinned and chuckled at her husband's thoughtfulness. She remembers telling him once that she preferred plants over a flower bouquet. And he remembered it.

She saw another card in the plant and quickly opened it with a happy smile.

“ Be ready by 7 pm. I have a surprise for you. Can't wait to see you in that dress…Okay now quickly go and get ready!

See you my love❤️"

She chuckled softly reading his letter and placing it back on the table, she went to take a shower.

Wearing the studs in her ears, Aaruhi smiles as she looks at herself in the mirror. She is looking good.

Suddenly the door of the room opens, making her turn around and her heart skip a beat seeing Ryan standing at the doorstep looking at her intensely. She felt her cheeks burning seeing his eyes moving over her body before settling on her face.

He is looking dashing and charming in all black, wearing black satin shirt with black trousers. She tucked her hair back when his lips curved slightly, noticing her eyes scanning him.

He walked toward her with small steps. Standing in front of her, he deeply looked into her big bright eyes before kissing her flushing cheek.

“You are looking Ravishing, Meri Jaan…" he whispered near her ear in his deep and soothing voice before kissing her earlobe lightly, making her bite her lower lips.

Leaning back, he gazes at her face with adoration and smiles seeing her face glowing even more than usual.

“I don't know this dress will look this beautiful on you," he said to which she smiled beautifully.

He touched the stud in her ear with his thumb before looking at her.

Seeing her bare feet, he looked at her before his eyes moved around and saw her heels near bed.

Aaruhi watched him curiously as he walked to bed and came back with her heels.

Placing them on the floor, he held her hands and made sit on the stool.

“Ryan, you don't have to do this. I wil-" he stops her placing his finger on her parted lips.

"Shh…today is your day, Ruhi. Let me put some effort and pamper you,” he softly said, looking into her eyes with warmth.

Her heartbeat started racing and she felt butterflies dancing in her tummy seeing him sitting in front of her on his knees.

He made her wear heels and clasp the belt around her ankle which are adored with thin anklet chains.

He lightly traced her anklets with thumb before kissing her ankle making her fist her hand as a pleasant shiver ran through her body.

Aaruhi felt her eyes turn slightly teary at his action. When he looks at her, she gives him a teary smile and kisses his forehead.

“I love you,..so much,"  saying she looked at him with her love filled eyes.

Ryan smiles at her and takes her hand in his, he kisses her palms before standing with her.

“Shh…you are not allowed to cry tonight…" he softly said softly and wiped her tears on her eyelashes.

“Shall we leave?" After kissing her temple, he asks, looking at her with a soft smile.

She nodded slowly and smiled back at him with a small sniff. Ryan chuckled softly and wrapped his arm around her waist.

As they reached the living room, Aaruhi saw twins playing video games. She frowned, not finding anyone except them.

“Kris, Kabir.." twins turn their heads at the same time when Ryan calls them.

“Wow! Bhabhi you are looking gorgeous…" Aaruhi chuckle when Kris compliment looking at her with wide eyes

"Thank you, Kris..”

"We are going out and will be late. So sleep on time and check the doors and windows before going to bed, get it…” he instructed them, making them nod their heads together.

“Are you taking Bhabhi on a romantic date, Bhai?.." Kris asks mischievously, wiggling his eyebrows at his elder brother.

Kabir also smirks at his big bro seeing him playfully glaring at them. Aaruhi giggled at their teasing.

“Okay okay…you can go now. We will take care of the house…" Kris instantly said before Ryan could give him good scolding for teasing him.

“Have your dinner on time..okay," Aaruhi told them.

"Okay Bhabhi. Don't worry about us. Just enjoy your date…” Kabir assured her with a smile.

“Bye Bhai, make sure our Bhabhi enjoy…" Kris shouted from back when Ryan and Aaruhi started walking.

Ryan shakes his head with a little curve of his lips while Aaruhi chuckles.

They reached their car, Ryan first opened the door for her. She sat inside on the passenger seat and then Ryan also walked on the other side and sat on the driver seat.

Their car came to a stop. Aaruhi looked outside and frowned in confusion before turning to her husband with the same expression.

“So this is your surprise…" she asks, giving him a disbelieving look.

Ryan nodded with a smile and came out of the car.

She turned to look at his company building. Ryan opens the door for her and forwards his palm for her to hold.

She gladly held his hand and stood in front of him, happiness radiating from her face.

“Have patience, Jaan. And this is not your surprise but here is your surprise. Let's go," he said and wrapping his arm around her waist, they walked into the building after he gave the car keys to the guard to park his car in the parking lot.

The whole building is empty except for a few security guards.

She smiles looking around the well maintained and beautifully designed workspace. She had visited his office a few times before their marriage.

Entering the lift, Ryan presses the rooftop button making Aaruhi look at him. He looks at her and perks her lips lightly without messing her lip gloss.

She let out small giggle when he keep palm on her eyes and whisper,

“I need to close your eyes, love…Just for a while," he softly said to which she nodded and felt excited to see his surprise.

She heard the lift stop and the lift door open.

Ryan guide her out of the lift and they take few step ahead

“Okay, ready?…" He asked her, feeling nervous about her reaction.

She grin nodded her head excitedly, can't wait to see what he planned for her.

“I am removing my hand…" saying he removed his hand from her eyes.

She blinked her eyes a few times before she went still in her place and her palm flew to her mouth in shock. She blinked again not believing her eyes.

Tears started forming in her eyes which started glowing in happiness and her soft glossy pink lips curved into the most beautiful smile.

Her eyes glowing like stars looking at the big LED neon sign of ‘I love you' inside the big circle frame decorated with flowers and leaves. And candles and decorative lamps placed on the either side of that flame making a pathway to where they are standing.

The sight is too beautiful for her. It's her dream which turned into reality. She is  feeling euphoric and that feeling is out of the world.

She gently wipes her tears and giggles before turning around to see Ryan looking at her with so much love and adoration in his eyes which turn slightly Misty due to emotions he is feeling right now.

Without saying anything, she jumps on him and hugs him tightly. Hiding her face in the crook of his neck and fist his shirt on his shoulder and started crying in happiness.

“I am so so happy! I love you! I love you so much…" she said with a big joyous smile on her face.

"I love you too, Ruhi. I love you with the depth of my heart. I love you with every fiber of my body. I declare my love for you From now till eternity…” he lovingly whispered in her ear, hugging her back.

Placing a few kisses on her neck, he gently pulls back and looks at her with love and admiration in his eyes.

Gently brushing her tears on his cheeks with his thumbs, he kisses her close eyes and smiles seeing her  smiling widely while her lips shivering slightly due to overwhelming emotions.

He cupped her face softly making her look into his eyes, sharing the same intention emotion as his.

He took her lips in a soft and gentle kiss. They devour each other's lips heartily before their kiss turns deep and intense. She moans into his mouth as he slightly tilts his face for a better angel.

Digging her fingers into his hair, she fist his hair making him groan in between.

After a few seconds, they lean back completely breathless and panting hard but holding each other close. They can hear their loud heart beats.

“I love you.." they whispered at the same time before chuckling together.

Ryan leans his forehead and touches it against her before closing his eyes.

“Thank you for accepting me, loving me and completing me, Ruhi. You are the best partner and lover I can ever get, Jaan. You are my blessing..my beautiful and precious blessing," he whispered in a soft voice.

Aaruhi bites her lower lips at his sweetest confession and lets a few happy tears roll down from her eyes.

“Stop making me cry…" she whispered in a hoarse crying voice while smiling from inside.

He chuckles softly and embraces her in his warmth.

“You are my crybaby," he teases her to which she smiles, hiding her face in his chest.

After a few minutes of hugging each other, Ryan pulls back and holds her hands in his.

“Let's have dinner. You must be hungry after crying so much,..  " she pouts after hearing him but her lips turn into a small curve when he kisses her cute pout playfully, a few times.

“Stop being so adorable or…I will eat you," he whispered the last sentence playfully. She bit her lower lips to control herself from smiling widely and gave a slight push on his chest.

“I am hungry…" She said looking away from his mischievous gaze, making him laugh before wrapping his arms around her shoulders. He pulled her closer and walked on the left.

Her eyes widened in surprise seeing a beautiful candlelight dinner setup in the corner of the terrace.

“It is so pretty…" she murmured looking at the setup and grin turning to Ryan. He simply planted a soft kiss on her head, feeling satisfied and happy seeing her smiling face.

“Only for you,…come," he took her to the table and pull out a chair for her to sit on.

She sat down looking at everything with dreamy eyes. It is way better and more beautiful than she ever imagined in her dream.

Ryan slid another chair just beside her and sat on it.

He called someone and cut the call just saying,

‘Please bring it,’

She looks at him and sighs. The emotions she is feeling right now cannot be described in words. It's like she won the world, she achieved every happiness of this world. Her heart feels full and content as his love confession is repeating again and again in her mind.

She blink as her trance breaks when Ryan clicks his fingers in front of her eyes and smiles amusingly seeing her staring at him while lost somewhere.

“Where are you lost, Mrs. Ryan…" he asked her, raising his eyebrow.

"Nowhere, just thanking God for creating  you only for me," she softly looked into his eyes with warmth and devotion.

Ryan’s heart always went crazy for her whenever she described her feelings to him, whether through her sweet words or her soulful eyes. She always manages to flutter his heart so effortlessly.

He takes her small soft hand in his before bringing it near his lips to place a small kiss on the back of her hand with a warm affectionate smile on his face.

They looked towards the lift hearing a small ping before the lift door opened and two men came out of it in a waiter's uniform. They rolled out a small trolley with various dishes covered with a lid.

They started setting the table, placing the dishes in front of them. One of them poured a non-alcoholic drink in two glasses for them.

“Thank you…" Ryan said, with a small kind smile after they finished arranging everything.

They smile politely and bow slightly.

“Most welcome, sir. Have a pleasant night, sir and ma'am," saying they left the couple.

Aaruhi opens the lid of dishes and squeals in happiness seeing everything is her favorite. Ryan watches her with a content smile.

“Wow! I am impressed dear husband," she gave him an impressed look.

Ryan dramatically bow his head placing his hand on his chest,

“Well, that is the main purpose, dear wife," he replies, playing alone with her, she giggles at him and shakes her head.

"Give me a chance, my Queen..’’ he said, stopping her from serving as she forward her hand.

Flipping her plate, he serves her food and pours water in a glass for her.

“Don’t use another plate, let's eat on the same plate, together .." she said, sliding her plate in between.

Ryan gladly agreed to her. She smiles at him brightly while making a bite and moves her hand towards him to eat first.

He looked at her then at her hand which held a small morsel for him.

“Eat…" she softly said looking at him.

He opens his mouth and eats the morsel from her hand, making her smile broad.

“That’s my husband…" she praised him like a kid before kissing his cheek.

She grinned at him.

“Now feed me, Mr. Roy," She demanded lovingly as her smile didn't wave off from her face.

Ryan readily follows her words and feeds her. Like this they had their dinner filled with their sweet moments and little laughter and giggles in between.

The dark night seems to brighten up because of their smiling face and coldness in the air turn warm seeing the love between two beautiful hearts and souls. Even the stars feel jealous seeing their eyes twinkling even more than them. While the moon smiles down at the couple and not feeling bad as the couple’s love and adoration for each other shine brighter than him tonight.
