"Chashni did you pack everything?" Rudra asked as he entered the balcony, as usual, I was sitting here reading Harry Potter, did I say I love Harry Potter?

I glanced up at him and nodded "Yes hubby now shh let me read" he walked to me and snatched my book,

"Not fair chashni is this book more important than your husband?" I got up trying to get my book back but this human was tall. He held the book high making it impossible for me to get it.

"Rudra give me my book back" He started running to the room with the book in his hand,

"Catch me then this book is yours" I ran behind him thank god due to my training it was easy for me to run now but I was still no match to Rudra's speed and flexibility.

"Okay stop stop" he stopped panting, I held my stomach to catch my breath,

"I'll give you the book, But you have to kiss me" he raised an eyebrow challenging me,

I squinted my eyes, "that's so childish rudra?"

He shrugged his shoulder "Book chahiye ya nahi?" (do you want the book or not?"

"Okay come closer" I signaled him to come close he held the book behind his back and walked close to me.

"No cheating chashni" he stood in front of me, I tip-toed and leaned closer to him. Our noses were touching, He closed his eyes waiting for me to kiss his lips but instead, I kissed his cheeks and quickly snatched the book.

He looked at me dumbfounded "That's not fair chashni"

"How is it not? You asked for a kiss but never said where I didn't cheat" He looked annoyed and I smiled in victory and walked towards our room.

Rudra followed me like a sulking child and sat on the bed beside me, I read my book while he sat there beside me.

Simba climbed on the bed keeping his head on Rudra's lap tp get his attention. Rudra held Simba in his arms and pet his head.

"Thank god Simba at least you love me" rudra rubbed his stomach cooing him.

"Otherwise your mum doesn't care about me she just cares about her book" he kept on complaining to Simba while rubbing his tummy.

I smiled and focused on my book, he looked so cute complaining he was changing he was being soft and warm. He was always warm to me but now he is opening up even to Devansh and Zayn.

When his complaining became too much I kept the bookmark in the book and kept it aside.

His face instantly lit up as soon as I kept my book aside, I held Simba in my arms and leaned on Rudra's chest.

"Rudra you are childish" I pecked his lips "but I love it"

He smiled wrapping his arms around me and pulling me close.

"Im all your baby" Rudra kissed my forehead, grabbed the book, and opened it.

"Let's read together I also wanna see what's so great about Harry Potter" rudra opened the book and we both read it together.

***

"Woahhhh" I gasped looking at the view in front me. We just reached Havelock at our resort with a beautiful beach view. Rudra kissed my cheeks

"Do you love it? You wanted to see the beach so I booked this resort which has beautiful beach views" I Hugged him happily.

"Beautiful beautiful it's just simply beautiful" He smiled and cupped my cheeks.

"As long as my chashni is happy now let's rest for a while then we'll go to the beach" He kissed my nose gaining a giggle from me.

I got settled down on a chair in front of the huge window, and rudra unpacked, after unpacking he settled down in front of me.

"Do you wanna eat anything?" I nodded, and he called in for room service, once our order was in we both ate.

"Rudra let's go nowwwww" I held his hand dragging him out of this boring room.

"Slow down chashni" he laughed following me, we both stood in front of the beach, no one was there clear water white sand just the perfect thing. I loved beaches living in Mumbai i have seen enough but also watching water calmed my nerves.

We clicked many pictures, and rudra settled down on the sand while I went towards the shores removing my sandals.

When the water touched my feet and went back it felt like my problems too went with the water. There were no problems everything was perfect so much perfect that it scared me what if this happiness that I am having comes with an expiry date what would I do then?

I glanced at rudra who was looking at me already, his eyes were soft and content there was so much love in his eyes for me.

"Rudra come here" I called him out, he got up dusting the sand on his pants. He took off his shoes the walked to me. I held his hand and we both walked along the shore.

He kissed my knuckle, but no one spoke anything It was just the sound of waves crashing and the sand as we took steps.

The fear I felt a few minutes ago was gone as soon as I held his hands, no matter what problems comes no matter what happens I'll hold his hand tightly, we'll go through it together no matter what.

"Rudra" he looked at me and raised his brows, "I Love You" I whispered tip-toed and kissed his lips, he kissed me back wrapping his hands around my waist.

"I Love You too chashni" He mumbled in between the kiss, our lips molded against each other just perfectly. His lips were warm, teasingly slow against mine, sending shivers down my spine. The faint taste of coffee lingered between us, intoxicating and real.

I pulled away first, my breath uneven, lips tingling. He didn't move, didn't speak-just stared at me like I was something he'd been searching for all along.

"You make me go crazy chashni" he held my hand and kept it on his chest I could feel his heartbeats.

"You see this heart it was never like this, I believed I didn't have a heart until I met you... you brought this dead heart back to life chashni it's you and only you. Having you in wake up in my arms every morning feels like a dream, having you kiss me like this feels like a dream, knowing you love me as much as I do feels like a dream."

My heart skipped a beat hearing him,I cupped his cheeks "Im here in your arms just like you wanted"

He smiled mischievously and splashed water on me, my eyes widened in shock as the cold water hit me.

"It's not fair rudra" I splashed water on him, and we laughed and played just perfectly as it should be.

***

I freshened up and walked out of the bathroom there was a beautiful dress on the bed, I picked up the dress and frowned, it was a beautiful lilac-colored dress. I found a note beneath the dress.

Chashni,

Perfect dress for my perfect wife, wear it and come to the beach there for a surprise.

Your handsome husband Rudra.

I smiled wide and hugged the dress tightly, He knows I love the lilac color. I wore the dress and looked at my reflection in the mirror it was a perfect fit. I did a little touchup applying the spring mist I let my hair open. Wearing my white sandals I went out to the beach.

I gasped in surprise, a small table in the middle of the beach with ferry lights and my man waiting for me.

As soon as his gaze fell on me he walked to me, he held out his hand for me to hold. I held his hand and led me to the table.

He pulled out a chair for me to sit on, and I settled down. He sat down in front of me, and soon a waiter came and served us our food. It smelled amazing, the waiter poured drink.

"Not bad Mr. Chauhan" I smiled picking up the glass and taking a sip,

"Thank you Mrs Chauhan" he pats his back praising himself. I giggled and took a bite my tongue busted in with flavors I simply loved it.

"Did you like it?" He asked as I finished my food.

"Yes it was perfect" he smiled satisfied,

"Then would you like to dance with me?" he held out his hand for me to hold. I held his hand and got up.

"Where's the music?" he took out his phone and played a song.

Tu hi meri hai saari zameen

Chahe kahin se chalun

Tujh pe hi aake ruku

Tere sivah main jaaon kahan

Koi bhi raah chhunu

Tujh pe hi aake ruku

He wrapped his hand around my waist and I wrapped my hands around his neck we both swayed as the song was playing in the background.

Tum mile toh lamhe tham gaye

Tum mile toh saare gam gaye

Tum mile toh muskurana

aa gaya

Tum mile toh jaadu cha gaya

Tum mile toh jeena aa gaya

Tum mile toh maine paaya

hai khuda

This song, is just perfect for us, our story. I leaned on his chest.

"Tum mile to maine paaya hai khuda" rudra whispered, my heart skipped a beat I felt teary I love this man so much how easily does he express his feelings?

Tujh mein kinaara dikhe

Dil ko sahara dikhe

Aa meri dhadkan thaam le

Teri taraf hi mude

Yeh saans tujhse jude

Har pal yeh tera naam le

He frowned and cupped my cheeks seeing my tears, "what happened chashni?"

I shook my head, "I love you" he wiped the tear on my cheeks.

"I love you too" He kissed my forehead, "Don't cry love it breaks my heart seeing your tears"

Tum mile toh ab kya hai kami

Tum mile toh duniya mil gayi

Tum mile toh mil gaya

aasra

Tum mile toh jaadu cha gaya

Tum mile toh jeena aa gaya

Tum mile toh maine paaya

hai khuda

"These are happy tears" I kissed his cheeks,

"Happy or sad I don't want tears in your eyes" Rudra wiped my tears which were not ready to stop.

"Crying is good for health" he chuckles and picks me up spinning me around. Making me laugh,

Din mere tujhse chalein

Raatein bhi tujhse dhalein

Hai waqt tere haath mein

hoo...Tu hi shehar hai mera

Tujhme hi ghar hai mera

Rehta hai tere saath mein

Tum mile toh mil gaya humsafar

Tum mile toh khud ki hai khabar

Tum mile toh rishta sa

ban gaya

Tum mile toh jaadu cha gaya

Tum mile toh jeena aa gaya

Tum mile toh maine paaya

hai khuda

"Then im gonna make you laugh everytime to you cry even if they are happy tears"
