Aarav's POV

I woke up from a great sleep and it felt like the best morning ever. You know why? Because I saw the most beautiful morning view. Aaradhya was sleeping beside me looking like an angel.

I wondered why I was feeling this way. I noticed a strand of hair on her face and thought it might be bothering her. I moved closer and gently pushed the hair behind her ear.

Her skin was flawless. I felt lucky to have such a beautiful wife. Day 6 of realizing I'm the biggest idiot on this planet.

I admired her face for a while then headed to the bathroom. After freshening up I came out and saw her sitting on the bed.

"Good morning" I said. She looked up and gave me a small smile.

"Good morning. How is your hand?" she asked making me feel butterflies in my stomach because of her care.

"It's all fine now" I said and left the room to give her some space to get ready.

I went downstairs and saw something shocking.

"What are you guys doing here?" I asked. They grinned like children.

"We are ready for the day out" the three of them said together. I put my hand on my forehead. Were they really my siblings?

"Why did you wake up so late? And you're not even ready yet" Darsh asked giving me a look.

"It's 8 in the morning and they're acting like I woke up at noon" I thought.

"Go brother get ready quickly" Riya said sulking.

"Bhabhi am I dreaming?" I heard Chachi's voice and saw her and Maa coming downstairs.

"Not just you I'm dreaming too Mitali" Maa replied.

"How did you all wake up so early especially on a Sunday?" Maa asked. They smiled showing all their 32 teeth.

"We are going for a day out" Raj replied.

"Where?" Chachu asked.

"We don't know but we're going right bhai?" Riya said looking at me. I nodded.

"And bhai you're still here. Go get ready quickly and bring Bhabhi too" Darsh said pushing me towards the stairs.

I went to our room and saw her coming out. She was wearing a simple red kurti and white pants.

To be honest she looked perfect in a simple outfit. I snapped out of my thoughts.

"Everyone is ready downstairs waiting for us" I said.

"Okay I'm ready. You get ready too" she said putting on her minimal jewelry and makeup.

I went to the wardrobe took out my clothes and got ready.

Aaradhya's POV

I wore Indian clothes because I'm more comfortable in them. I came downstairs and saw everyone was ready.

"Wow beautiful lady" Raj said looking at me dramatically. I laughed lightly.

"Thank you handsome young man" I said and he put his hand on his chest.

I saw Aarav ji coming downstairs. He looked dashing. "Stop Aaradhya" I told myself.

"Someone is looking really pretty today" Jaye said looking at me but really talking to Riya.

"Thank you" I said and he laughed. I saw Aarav ji glaring at Jaye but I didn't know why.

"Eat breakfast quickly if you want to leave early" Papa said. Everyone had their breakfast.

"We will go in one car" Jaye said and everyone agreed.

"Here take this" Papa said handing me his black card.

"No Papa I don't need it" I said shaking my head. He was about to say something but Aarav ji stopped him.

"I am here to take care of my wife's expenses" Aarav ji said and everyone started teasing. My cheeks felt hot.

"Mr. Aarav Romeo Yaduvanshi shall we go then?" Darsh said clapping his hands. Everyone laughed.

"He's changing" Papa said to me and we both laughed. I sat in the middle seat with Riya. Aarav ji was driving and Jaye was sitting beside him. Darsh and Raj were in the back.

"Be careful and eat on time" Maa and Chachi said, waving. We nodded and left the mansion.

"Where are we going Bhai?" Riya asked.

"There is a place where we can do many fun activities like claw machine games, arcade, trampoline park, and many other things. What about it?" Aarav ji asked and everyone agreed.

"Should I drive? Your hand might hurt" Jaye said. Aarav ji smirked at him.

"I'm all okay and I'm not like someone who is a coward..." Aarav ji said but was cut off by Jaye.

"Just shut up" Jaye said rolling his eyes. I knew he was teasing Jaye about Riya.

"Play songs Bhai" Darsh said and Jaye played a song. They started dancing like crazy in the car. I couldn't stop laughing.

I was laughing when I saw Aarav ji looking at me in the rearview mirror with a small smile. I looked down blushing. Why was he making me feel this way?

We reached the spot after driving for about half an hour.

At the Fun Zone

Everyone entered the amusement park with excitement. Aaradhya's heart raced as she clutched the VIP ticket unable to hide her joy. She glanced around thrilled by the vibrant activities.

"Bhabhi let's go there!" Riya exclaimed grabbing Aaradhya's hand and pointing toward a giant slide that led to a ball pit.

The two hurried over climbing to the top of the slide.

"One... two... three!" they shouted together and slid down landing amidst a sea of colorful balls. Aaradhya laughed sinking into the soft chaos trying to pull herself up.

"Bhabhi move aside! We're coming!" Darsh's voice rang out.

Aaradhya looked up to see the boys perched at the top of the slide. Before she could react the four of them came down landing near Aaradhya and Riya causing balls to scatter everywhere.

The ball fight began almost instantly. Balls flew in every direction as they jumped and laughed like carefree children. Aaradhya's eyes lingered on Aarav who was playfully throwing balls at Jaye.

"He looks so different today" she thought observing his carefree laughter.

"Ahh!" Aaradhya shrieked when Riya pushed her into the balls.

"ab to tum gai" Aaradhya laughed struggling to walk through the unstable surface to chase her. She caught up with Riya and pushed her, only for Riya to tumble right onto Jaye.

"Well done Aaradhya" she muttered to herself watching the awkward moment unfold between Riya and Jaye. Their silent gaze was quickly interrupted by Raj and Darsh who resumed throwing balls.

At the Claw Machines

After an hour of fun the group moved to the claw machine section. Aaradhya's eyes widened at the sight of plush toys and cute prizes.

"Do you want one?" Jaye asked noticing her excitement.

She nodded eagerly. "Doraemon!"

Jaye led her to a machine. Everyone gathered around watching him try. He guided the claw toward the Doraemon plushie. The tension was palpable as the claw grabbed it and moved slowly toward the drop box.

"Come on Jaye bhai!" Raj and Darsh cheered.

The claw released the toy perfectly and Jaye won it.

"Yes!" Aaradhya shouted in excitement, immediately hugging Jaye. Realizing what she did she quickly stepped back grabbing the toy.

Turning to show Riya her breath hitched when she saw Aarav standing close, his intense glare fixed on her.

His eyes shifted from the toy to her and she froze under his gaze.

"Bhabhi let's try that machine!" Riya called pulling Aaradhya away much to Aaradhya's relief.

Aarav's POV

Why did she hug him? I was standing right there. She could've hugged me! Frustration simmered inside me as my subconscious mocked me. Why would she hug someone like you, I'll kill my subconscious in the worst way possible.

"Jealous brother?" Darsh and Raj teased their grins wide.

I glared at them until they backed off. Turning I caught Jaye's apologetic glance.

"Sorry brother" he said teasing me.

Ignoring him, I walked straight to Aaradhya. Without a word I grabbed her hand and led her to the largest claw machine.

"What do you want?" I asked my tone sharp.

She blinked at me confused. "What?"

"I said what do you want?" I repeated my patience thinning.

Finally, she pointed at a black-and-white panda. I inserted the coin and focused on the machine aware of her standing close her eyes glued to the glass.

The first attempt failed but I refused to stop. Each try brought more determination. After several attempts the panda finally dropped into the box.

"Yes!" I exclaimed pulling it out and turning to Aaradhya whose face lit up with pure joy.

I moved closer lowering myself to her height. She instinctively stepped back her breathing quickening.

"Wouldn't you hug me now?" I whispered my voice low.

Her lips parted but no words came out. Watching her struggle made me chuckle softly. Straightening up I handed her the panda.

"Let me hold this too" I said taking the Doraemon from her hands. Together we walked toward the next game.

Meanwhile Riya struggled with a claw machine failing repeatedly.

"Should I try?" Jaye offered standing beside her.

She stepped aside and with one swift move Jaye won the plushie. Riya's face lit up but before she could thank him a high-pitched voice interrupted.

"Oh my god you're so talented! And handsome too. Can you win one for me?" a girl said her tone overly sweet.

Jaye hesitated about to refuse but Riya stepped forward.

"Go find someone else for your cheap tricks" she snapped grabbing Jaye's hand and dragging him away.

"I was going to refuse" Jaye said amused by her jealousy.

Riya let go of his hand glaring at him. Picking up her plushie she stormed off.

"Like brother, like sister" Jaye muttered smiling as he followed her.

At noon

Aarav's POV

"Bhai let's go for lunch now. I'm hungry" Riya said sounding impatient.

"Okay let's go to our restaurant" I replied steering the car toward one of our family owned restaurants.

"It was so fun na?" Raj asked smiling at everyone.

"Yes!" everyone nodded in agreement still excited from the activities.

"I enjoyed a lot today" Aaradhya added softly. I glanced at her through the rearview mirror. She looked genuinely happy her smile lighting up her face. It made me feel good seeing her like this.

When we reached the restaurant the manager rushed out to greet us.

"Welcome sir! It's great to have you here today" he said with a polite smile then led us to a reserved table.

The restaurant exuded luxury with its elegant decor and sophisticated ambiance. Riya and I had worked hard on its design and it reflected in every detail.

I took a seat and just as Riya was about to sit beside me Aaradhya quickly claimed the spot. Left with no choice Riya sat next to Jaye.

I noticed this and couldn't help but think Maybe Jaye has already told Aaradhya about his feelings.

We placed our orders and soon the food arrived. Everyone began eating enjoying the delicious meal.

"Now where will we go Bhai?" Darsh asked looking at me with curiosity.

"To see the sunset" I replied while eating.

As I was having my food my eyes fell on Aaradhya. A bit of gravy was smeared on the side of her lips.

Without thinking I picked up a tissue and moved little towards her. She looked at me first confused and then shocked as I gently wiped the gravy from her lips.

"Thank you" she said softly her cheeks slightly pink. We exchanged a small smile a quiet moment just between us.

But unfortunately the peace didn't last long. Darsh decided to tease us.

"You both are going overboard. Neither do you consider the place nor the time you just start anywhere" Darsh teased smirking.

Hearing this Aaradhya immediately started coughing. I quickly handed her a glass of water and she gulped it down avoiding everyone's eyes.

I shot a sharp glare at Darsh silently warning him to stop but he ignored me grinning mischievously.

We finished our lunch and stepped outside. Then we headed to one of the highest hills in the city to watch the sunset which everyone said would be breathtaking.

The drive took about two and a half hours and as soon as we got out of the car, the only word that came out of our mouths was "Amazing."

The view was incredible and the sun was just about to set.

"Let's take some good pictures" Darsh suggested excitedly and we all quickly got into positions. I stood beside Aaradhya as we clicked some group photos.

After that we found a spot on the grass and sat down to enjoy the view.

While sitting I noticed Jaye looking at Riya with a soft smile on his face. He seemed lost in his thoughts and I couldn't help but hope they'd end up together soon.

Turning my gaze I caught Aaradhya looking at me. The moment our eyes met she quickly looked away pretending she wasn't staring.

I couldn't stop myself from smiling like a little kid at her cute reaction.

After watching the sunset we got back into the car and started heading home. Everyone was exhausted.

Darsh, Raj, Aaradhya, and Riya had already fallen asleep, their heads leaning on each other.

"Are you jealous brother?" Jaye whispered to me breaking the silence.

I gave him a confused look.

"Look at Aaradhya. She's resting her head on Riya's shoulder and not on yours" he said chuckling softly.

I smirked and whispered"Then shouldn't you be jealous too? Riya's not leaning on your shoulder either."

Jaye glared at me clearly annoyed and I couldn't help but laugh. Soon we both burst out laughing quietly careful not to wake the others.

Once we reached home no one said a word. Everyone was too tired and went straight to their rooms.

Aaradhya looked drained. She quickly changed into her nightwear and fell asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow.

I stood at the door for a moment watching her sleep. A smile tugged at my lips as I thought, "I have something planned for you tomorrow Aaradhya."

I freshened up and lay down on my bed stealing one last glance at her before closing my eyes. With that thought in my mind I drifted off to sleep.
