36.

Ketki:

"Rudra we are getting late" I yelled pacing around the room, rudra stepped out of the bathroom wearing shorts and a shirt looking hot as usual.

"Finally" I held his hands dragging him with me.

We are going to scuba diving and other sports activities. I was damn excited for it. The car was already waiting for us, we got in and the driver drove us to the beach where we'd be doing scuba diving, parasailing, and the rest of the sports.

As soon as we reached the beach the instructor helped us with some basic underwater sign language he had already given us training now we were fully ready to go underwater.

Scuba diving was the best experience we could ever have, deep blue water, different kinds of fishes, coral reefs, and shipwrecks were simply the most amazing experience we could ever have.

"Chashni there's a party on the beach wanna go?" rudra asked as he got a call from the manager of the resort, I nodded "Sounds fun"

He got up and held my hand, we locked the door and went to the beach, there was a bonfire in the middle, and people dancing while some were enjoying drinks live bar counter.

I went to the bar, to grab a drink I thought rudra was following me.

The person who was singing made an announcement "GUYS ARE YOU ENJOYING THE PARTY ANYONE WANNA COME HERE AND SING"

"I would love it" I widened my eyes hearing a familiar voice, i turned to look at the stage only to find rudra standing on the stage beside the guitar person.

"I wanna dedicate this song to my lovely wife" he spoke through the voice, i never knew rudra could sing i just stared at him while he looked into my eyes.

"Chashni step forward please" He spoke, my feet automatically went near the stage, all the girls were staring at us in awe.

Hum tere bin ab reh nahi sakte

Tere bina kya wajood mera

Tujhse juda gar ho jaayenge

Toh khud se hi ho jaayenge judaa

Kyunki tum hi ho

Ab tum hi ho

Zindagi ab tum hi ho

Chain bhi, mera dard bhi

Meri aashiqui ab tum hi ho

By the time the song ended, I was already in tears, he gave the mike to the guitar guy and stepped down the stage.

"See chashni now the whole world knows that meri Aashiqui tum hi ho" he whispered pulling me close, I buried my face shyly in his chest.

"I love you" I whispered,

"I love you too chashni"

Our time in Andaman was the best!! I had the best time of my life. Now that we are back in Mumbai, we are gonna get busy with our work and stuff.

I purchased the shop beside my bakery, renovation is soon gonna start. Ishika has been in contact giving small updates and stuff.

Arya is working on a website, she is usually lazy but now she's working day and night on the website. I am planning to make videos for social media so that I can promote our bakery and invite a few influencers.

I was in the kitchen preparing breakfast with Maria, I felt a pair of arms around my waist I knew who it was.

"Rudra Maria is here" I whispered, trying to get his arms off me.

"Where is Maria?" I looked around only to find Maria long gone.

"This is not good she was helping me" he kissed my cheeks,

"I can help you love tell me what should I do?"I smiled and handed him the knife,

"Chop vegetables that's the only thing you are good at" he held the knife with a pout, I smiled seeing his pout as such a pookie he is.

He started chopping vegetables while I strained tea into the cup. I slid the cup towards rudra, he smiled and finished chopping.

"Thank you love" He took the cup of tea and started sipping tea, "perfect"

Once I finished the tea I prepared breakfast while rudra helped me sorry he distracted me.

We both settled down and ate our breakfast.

"Rudra come early in the evening and also invite Devansh and Zayn" I spoke eating my breakfast, he looked up at me.

"Uh okay but why?" He asked,

"I am making blueberry cheesecake so call them" I saw him clenching his jaw,

"Chashni blueberry cheesecake is only for me" he whined, I resisted the urge to poke his cheeks.

"Rudra invite them" I spoke sternly leaving no room for argument. He sighed and nodded.

"But one cheesecake is exclusively for me" I chuckled and nodded.

In the evening when I was preparing the cheesecake I heard the doorbell. Maria went to open the door. I heard a cheerful voice I knew clearly who it was.

Zoya walked into the kitchen "Ketiiiii"

I smiled and asked her to walk in, "where is Noor?" I asked when I saw her walking in alone.

"I...I am here" I heard a timid voice, I smiled at her as she walked in.

Since that night I met Noor at my bakery zayn told her about it. I genuinely liked that girl. She doesn't express much doesn't talk many looks a little cold I don't know what has happened to her I wish I could help her.

"Give me 5 minutes guys the cheesecake will be ready" We walked out of the kitchen to the living room.

I showed them around the house, we heard the bell I went to open the door while Noor and Zoya got settled on the couch.

I smiled at rudra, "You are on time" I stepped aside for him to walk in.

"Ketki" I heard a cheerful voice, I knew who it was Zayn.

"As soon as I heard you are baking cheesecake my excitement was over the top" Zayn walked in following Devansh who just smiled at me.

"I told them to behave they just don't listen" Rudra crossed his arms.

They all walked into the living room Zayn's eyes lit up seeing Noor while Devansh and Zoya glared at each other.

I walked into the kitchen to see if the cheesecakes were ready, I heard footsteps in the kitchen it was rudra. I glanced at him while taking the cheesecake out of the microwave.

I took out a knife to slice the cheesecake, "let me" he walked to me taking the knife from me.

I watched him slice cheesecake with ease, "you are good with knives"

He chuckled "I am a mafia baby of course I'll be good with knives"

I took the dishes out to the dining room, and we all got settled and enjoyed the cheesecake. Rudra being stubborn took a whole cheesecake for himself.

I looked around smiling, I had a bunch of great friends, and my husband who loved me immensely my life felt perfect just like I always wanted.

One year later:

Today was my bakery's opening yeah it took a long for the construction interior and stuff. Also, today was a special day so I kept the renovation on this special day. Today was the day when I first met rudra at the club where he saved my life.

"Rudra cut the ribbon" I handed him the knife, today everyone who helped me through my journey was present. My Dada, my baba Devansh, zayn, Noor, Zoya, and my lovely husband.

Rudra cut the ribbon, and we all walked in, I showed rudra around the bakery while the new workers served everyone tea and muffins.

"How is it?" I asked him as we stepped into the kitchen, he looked around "Perfect just like you"

I smiled and fed him a muffin. He doesn't like sweet but when I am feeding he'll eat it without any complaint.

"How is it?" I asked wiping his lips, "sweet just like you" he replied with a breath.

"But you wanna know what's sweeter?" He asked wrapping his hands around my waist. I raised an eyebrow "And what is it?"

He leaned in attacking my lips into a fierce kiss, the taste of muffins lingered as he kissed my lips, his cinnamon spice scent hit my nostrils, I wrapped my hands around his neck kissing him with an equal pace. He shoved his tongue in my mouth gaining a moan from me. I felt weak in my knees.

He pulled back before I could faint with a lack of oxygen.

"Your lips are addiction chashni sweet just like your name" He leaned his forehead against mine, and while my eyes were closed I could feel his intense gaze on me. We both were breathing heavily he kissed my nose.

"You are beautiful chashni" With that he kissed my lips again, I kissed him back, and he held my nape pulling me close our bodies flushed against each other. We pulled back, my cheeks must have turned red by now.

He caressed my cheeks, "You know I don't like sweet but fell in love with the sweetest person ever my sweet person my chashni"
