Thank you ❤️

Aaradhya's POV

"Aarav ji someone will come" I said running my fingers through his hair. He had called me to submit my weekly report so I came to give it but he had something else in mind.

The moment I entered his cabin he pulled me onto his lap and started planting wet kisses on my neck.

It's been a month since I started my job and every day here feels better than the last. People treat me so kindly.

"Aarav ji... ahhh control yourself... hmmm" I managed to say in between soft moans. He bit hard on my neck making me glare at him angrily.

"I’ll not come alone to your office from now on" I said getting up. But before I could move he pulled me back and hugged my waist tightly.

"Don’t say that" he replied with a small pout making me roll my eyes and hit his shoulder lightly.

"You’re getting dirtier day by day Aarav ji" I mumbled hiding my face in his neck. He gently ran his hand over my back soothing me.

"I was thinking we should go on a trip with the entire family. What do you say?" he asked looking at me with hopeful eyes.

"What a brilliant idea! When will we go?" I asked feeling excited. It had been so long since we last went somewhere.

"This weekend" he said tracing circles on my neck.

"Where?" I asked curiously and he smiled.

"It’s a surprise for all of you" he replied and I nodded.

"Now let me go I’m getting late" I said trying to stand and he let me go with a sad face.

"It’s just four hours left. We’ll go home together and spend time" I said kissing his cheek lightly.

"These four hours feel like a century" he muttered making me shake my head at him. I stepped out of his office and went back to my desk.

Jaye's POV

"I don’t like that bitch" my girl says angrily sitting beside me in the car. She’s talking about one of our employees who according to her was drooling over me.

"It’s okay I’ll fire her or shift her to another branch" I say and she nods.

"I wish I could capture all these kinds of girls who eye other men in a bottle" she says and I laugh but I stop when she glares at me.

"I’ll tell Maa to take the evil eyes off you" she says and I smile at her possessiveness.

"Since when did you start believing in all this?" I ask and she hits me hard on my bicep.

"Ahhh why did you hit me?" I ask rubbing my arm. She huffs.

"These things are real and you know you’re handsome so you attract these things easily" she explains and I nod.

"Want ice cream?" I ask looking outside happily.

"Yes yes I want it!" she says excitedly and I stop the car. I order for us and the ice cream comes in a few minutes.

"Thank you" she says before eating it. I start the car again.

"This tastes so good" she says and I smile.

"But you taste better than this ice cream" I say and she chokes.

"Yeah you’re so shameless" she says hitting me several times while I laugh.

She blushes looking down while eating her ice cream. She acts like a don but she’s not. She’s a pure soul my love, while I’m a devil. Perfect combination.

We reach home after a few minutes and find everyone already there. We’re a little late today because of work.

"You both are late today" Maa says as I sit beside her and she strokes my head.

"Yes we had a little more work today so we got late" I say.

"I’ve planned a one-day trip for this weekend. What do you guys say?" Aarav says and everyone agrees immediately.

"It’s been so long since we went somewhere together and I’m tired of working" Darsh says lazily.

"You have to work your whole life and you’re tired after just one month?" Chachu says laughing.

"I was thinking we should decide Jaye and Riya’s wedding date. What do you guys say?" Chachi says and my stomach did gulululu things after hearing this.

"Yeah I was thinking the same. They’re getting old now" Maa says and everyone bursts out laughing except Riya and me.

"Are you both ready for it? If not we’re not forcing you" Papa says. Before I can answer my buddy speaks up.

"He’s been ready for the last 10 years. You guys are just taking forever" he says and everyone starts teasing me.

"Are you ready Riya?" Aaradhya asks and my baby looks down shyly and nods.

"Am I dreaming? Riya Yaduvanshi is shy!" Raj and Darsh tease her.

"Then we’ll fix the marriage date after consulting the pandit" Papa declares and everyone nods.

"Then Riya will leave us and move to another house" Raj says and everyone gets emotional.

"No why would he shift somewhere else? He’s my son and he’ll stay in this house" Maa says and I smile.

Rahul's POV

"I told my parents about you and they are ready to accept our relationship" I say to her on the call and she shouts.

"What! Really? Did you show my picture to them? What picture did you show? Was I looking decent? You should have told me! I could have clicked better pictures, and then you could’ve sent those to them" she says nonstop and I smile.

"Relax babe relax. They like you. They even said they’ve seen you somewhere before and from that time they thought you’d be a great life partner for me. When I showed them your picture they were really happy" I say and I hear her sigh.

"But I don’t know how to cook perfectly. I only know the basics" she says nervously.

"Don’t worry babe. Mom loves cooking and she loves doing it for the family so you don’t have to worry about it" I say and I can feel her relaxing.

"Your parents are so nice. Then when are you making me meet them?" she asks and I think.

"Whenever you’re ready because I want you to be comfortable with all this before we start anything" I say and laugh lightly.

"You’re the best. That’s why I love you so much" she says and my heartbeat quickens a little.

Who would believe that a cold-hearted man like me who doesn’t think twice before killing my prey could feel like this?

Kia is slowly becoming my everything. She is what I need in my life and nothing else. She is my everything my love, my soul, my soon-to-be wife. She is pure. She is my angel.

Aarav's POV

“come on ladies, We’re getting late” Darsh shouts walking back and forth impatiently.

We’re all ready for the day out but the ladies… they’re taking so much time.

“Raj, Darsh you both are lucky. You don’t have wives” Papa says shaking his head. “Look at us. We have to wait for them. And even if they’re late we have to stay calm. If we tell them they’re late they’ll get angry, stop talking to us and then we’ll have to make them happy even when it’s not our fault!”

We all burst into laughter.

“Yeah Bhai is right. My wife isn’t late. According to her I’m just too early” Chachu says shaking his head in defeat.

“That’s why when Riya and I have to go somewhere I tell her to get ready by 5, even if we have to reach the place by 6. And still she only manages to get ready by 5:50” Jaye says sighing.

I pat his shoulder. “Hang in there” I say with a smirk.

“But my Aaradhya is different. She doesn’t take time. She gets ready exactly on time” I say proudly my eyes falling on them.

They’re standing there listening to us.

“Yeah, you’re a lucky man” Papa says crossing his arms. “Ask the three of us how much patience we’ve got handling our women”

I suppress my laugh because I know they’re going to pay for this later. The expressions on their faces say it all…

“Oh so we’re the ones giving you problems? We don’t get ready on time and we make your life a mess huh?” Maa shouts from upstairs and comes down followed by the other ladies.

“And you” Chachi says pointing at Chachu “What do you mean by ‘according to my wife I’m early’ Just wait. This time I’ll make sure to give you a hard punishment”

Chachu gulps his face pale with fear.

“I’ll deal with you later just wait” Riya says glaring at Jaye who immediately hides behind me.

“My husband is the best. He doesn’t complain about me being late” my baby says smiling sweetly.

Papa, Chachu and Jaye all glare at me and I grin smugly.

“Bach gaya aaj” I mumble under my breath.

“Let’s go! We’re already late,” Darsh says clapping his hands and everyone starts walking outside.

Papa, Chachu and Jaye walk behind their women like obedient tails while my girl walks beside me.

We sit inside our cars and drive toward the port. Today we’re going on our private cruise for a day out. It’s been so long since we came here.

“Wow we’re going on a cruise” Riya shouts as she gets out of the car her excitement bubbling.

“Yes we are” I say and the smiles on their faces widen.

“Is this your private cruise?” my jaan asks walking beside me.

I laugh holding her hand tightly “Jaan nothing is mine Everything is yours” I say.

She hits my hand lightly “You’re becoming so flirty day by day” she says shaking her head.

“If the girl is you I don’t mind being flirty jaan” I say and her face turns bright red.

“We’re going to have so much fun” Darsh says jumping like a kangaroo. I can’t help but smile at his excitement.

“Bhabhi there are so many activities on the cruise! We’ll do everything” Raj says and my baby claps her hands her excitement matching his.

The cruise starts and the elders sit in the open area enjoying the view while we make our way upstairs.

Aaradhya's pov

The cruise is so thrilling it gives pure mafia vibes. It’s just like the private jet completely black, elegant and mysterious. We are on the top deck enjoying the breathtaking view.

I stand near the railing staring at the endless sea. The cool breeze hits my face and it feels peaceful. Suddenly I feel Aarav ji hugging me from behind. I relax against him while he sniffs my hair softly making me smile.

“Are you enjoying?” he asks his voice low and soothing. I nod.

“But I’m not enjoying” he says with a pout. “Because wifey hasn’t given me a kiss since morning”

I turn around in his arms looking at him in disbelief. “Mr. Yaduvanshi it’s still morning. And also you kissed me when you woke up” I remind him crossing my arms.

“But you didn’t kiss me. I was the one who kissed you” he says playing with a strand of my hair looking at me like a child asking for candy.

“Everyone is here” I say trying to make an excuse.

“You’re my wife and they’re on the other side” he says motioning with his head. I glance around and to my surprise he’s right. There’s no one nearby.

I sigh holding his face in my hands. He smiles like an excited kid making me chuckle softly. My husband is such a cutie.

I close my eyes and lean closer. The next second we’re kissing our lips moving in sync. He lifts me slightly pressing me closer to him his warmth engulfing me. The kiss deepens, making my heart race but I stop him before it goes further.

“Stop before you start craving more than just a kiss” I say breaking away and he smiles cheekily.

I wipe my lipstick from his lips as he stares at me lovingly.

“Bhai Bhabhi let’s go in the water!” Riya shouts and we step back snapping out of our moment.

We go downstairs and they’ve already changed into their swimwear. I quickly change my outfit too and soon we’re all ready to dive into the fun.

The cruise stops in the middle of the sea in a safe spot where there are no harmful sea creatures. The water looks calm and inviting.

We all step into the water and I silently thank God that I know how to swim because everyone here seems to be a pro at it.

“Let’s do a race!” Jaye says challenging Aarav ji with a determined look.

“Yeah let’s race and see who wins!” Maa says excitedly and all the men nod ready for the challenge.

“Okay so you have to swim to that rock and come back here” Chachi announces pointing to a large stone in the distance.

The men take their positions the competitive energy rising…

Jaye, Papa, Chachu, Darsh, Raj and Aarav ji. I watched them all take their positions.

“All the best everyone!” we cheer and Aarav ji looks at me with a wink before focusing.

“One, two, three and go!”

They dive into the water swimming toward the stone. We cheer loudly clapping and shouting their names.

“What do you think? Who will win?” I ask watching all of them giving their best.

“Of course Aarav. He won a national award in swimming” Maa says confidently.

I look at Aarav ji surprised. My munda is a multi-talented man. Watching him glide through the water I can already tell Maa is right he’s definitely winning.

Aarav ji touches the stone first and starts swimming back. But Chachu is catching up! They’re both swimming at almost the same speed now.

“Oh my God Aarav swim faster or Chachu will win!” Chachi shouts making us laugh. Looks like she doesn’t want her own husband to win.

“Chachu you can do it!” I shout joining the fun.

And then Chachu touches the finish point first.

“Oh my God Chachu congratulations!” I say clapping for him as he flips his wet hair dramatically making us all laugh.

“Such a shame Aarav. You’re a national award champion and you still lost the game” Chachi says pretending to complain while Chachu smirks proudly.

“Biwi ji I’m also a champion. Don’t forget that” Chachu says and Chachi rolls her eyes.

Jaye, Papa, Darsh and Raj finally make it back all panting but smiling.

“Let’s play water polo!” Riya suggests excitedly and everyone agrees.

“Okay so ladies in one team and gents in one” Maa announces.

The men start laughing.

“It’s okay. You can take Darsh and Raj on your team. You’ll need them. We can win even if we’re less in numbers” Papa says smugly.

We glare at them.

“If that’s the case we’ll still play and win. Just wait and watch. We don’t need anyone!” Chachi challenges confidently.

We’re not sure about her bold claim but it’s too late now.

“Wait we need to discuss something” Chachi says pulling us a little away from the men.

“Why did you say that? You know we’re not good at this!” Maa says already regretting the challenge.

“Bhabhi it’s too late now. I’ve already challenged them. If we lose it’ll be so embarrassing!” Chachi says her determination unshaken.

“We have to play some trick” I say and they all nod.

“What trick?” Maa asks looking at me hopefully.

"I don't know hehe" I say shrugging but Riya suddenly has an idea.

“We’re girls and all of us know our men are head over heels for us. So we’ll take advantage of that. Are you getting what I’m saying?” Riya says with a mischievous grin.

We exchange glances and then nod matching her mischievous smile.

“Okay are you girls ready?” Papa asks looking at us.

We nod standing in position. The men throw the ball toward us and we miss it.

“It’s just the start and you guys are already losing!” Jaye teases and Riya glares at him.

“Start again” Maa says confidently.

This time they throw the ball and we hit it back. The game gets intense as they play really well scoring quickly.

“Okay, the ladies’ score is 5 and the men’s score 12” Raj announces smugly.

We nod pretending to strategize before glancing at each other with a knowing look.

I take the ball and aim at Aarav ji. He stands ready looking at me. I wink at him and throw the ball and yes  he misses it.

“Yeayyy!” we scream jumping in excitement while the men start scolding Aarav ji.

Next it’s Maa’s turn. She takes the ball and aims at Papa. Before throwing she says sweetly, “Abhaye ji look!”

Papa glances at her distracted and misses the ball.

“Yeahhh!” we shout again as they give us disappointed looks.

One by one we do the same trick. Each time our men get distracted and our score keeps rising.

“He’s so handsome” Riya says aiming at Jaye. He starts looking around to see who she’s talking about and misses the ball completely.

“Okay so the winner is… the ladies!” Raj announces and we scream in excitement hugging each other.

“You guys cheated!” Papa complains looking frustrated.

“What cheating Mr. Abhaye Yaduvanshi?” Maa asks smirking. Papa melts instantly.

“You all were distracting us!” Jaye says with a pout making us laugh harder.

“It’s not our fault you couldn’t focus” we say walking back to the cruise still laughing.

“Losers come and have lunch!” Chachi shouts teasing them and we laugh even harder at their sulking faces.

After changing we enjoy a delicious lunch and then head to our rooms to rest for a while.

“You lost Aarav ji. So sad” I tease laughing as he closes the door behind us.

He narrows his eyes and starts running after me.

“You were flirting with me” he accuses playfully and I giggle as I run around the room.

“I was not! You just weren’t playing well!” I say but my bad luck he catches me pinning me against the wall.

"Now do whatever you were doing in the water love" Aarav ji says in his whiskey voice and I gulp.

Before I can respond we hear an announcement "Ladies and gentlemen there’s a group of dolphins beside our cruise. Please come out of your rooms and enjoy the view"

I push Aarav ji away and run outside.

“Oh my God!” I shout seeing the dolphins so close to us.

“They’re so cute” Riya says gently touching one.

“Aarav ji take my pictures with them!” I say excitedly and he smiles clicking photos of me with the dolphins.

After a few minutes the dolphins change direction and swim away. We go back to our room.

“Did you like the dolphins?” Aarav ji asks caressing my head and I nod happily.

“Should I buy dolphins for you?” he says with a smirk and I hit his arm lightly.

“If I like something, it doesn’t mean you have to buy it” I pout.

“But I want to give you everything” he says and I cup his cheek lovingly.

“My love I have you and our family. What else could I ask for?” I say and he smiles warmly.

By evening we come out of our rooms after a small nap. After enjoying some coffee we’re ready for jet skiing. We’re pairing up.

“Are you comfortable?” Aarav ji asks as I sit behind him and I nod.

“Do you even know how to ride it?” I ask as he starts the jet ski.

“Babe just watch my skills” he says confidently and I hold him tightly by his waist. He wasn’t lying he rides it like a pro.

“Wow Aarav ji you’re so good riding this!” I say amazed.

“I’m good at riding many things love” he says with a cheeky smile and I know exactly what he means.

We ride the jet skis for more than an hour. Maa, Papa, Chacha, and Chachi leave first so it’s just me, Jaye, Aarav ji, Riya, Darsh, and Raj.

“Bhai let’s go back. I’m getting tired” Darsh says and we all nod heading back to the cruise.

After changing into fresh clothes we sit on the roof of the cruise enjoying the peaceful night. The breeze is cool and the stars look beautiful.

“This is so great spending time with the family” I think watching everyone laugh and chat though they all look a bit tired from the day’s activities.

“We’ll do this again sometime” Raj says and we all nod in agreement.

They’re truly outgoing people and being with them makes everything more fun.
