"Namaste" Raunak joined his hand nervously when he felt everyone's gaze fixed on him.

He found Divya beside Rehana, looking at him with a shy smile on her lips, and lashes gazing down.

"He is Raunak. Divya's ... " Dev was introducing him when Yuvaan interrupted and completed "Divya's friend. We know that Dev"

Everyone chuckled when Dev scrunched his eyebrows in confusion and looked at Divya who's totally a blushing mess.

"Friend? They are only friends? I thought he was Divya's boyfriend. You know bhai... the kind of serious boyfriend types" Dev said scratching his head and Divya mentally face palmed.

"Papa" Whining Divya came forward and Dev engulfed her in his embrace.

"Its okay" He patted Divya's hair. And she smiled coyly.

Raunak's heart started beating rapidly. Why was he suddenly feeling uncomfortable around people? He was never an introvert. He has the capability of going well with people. But why was he not feeling well?

They're not seeming bad the way his mamu and mami described.

"Raunak" He came out of his thoughts when Maheen approached him with a warm smile. He too smiled back at her and bent down to touch her feet.

"May Allah bless you" Maheen kissed Raunak's forehead. Raunak was going to hug Maheen, the way he always did with his mimmi, after she blessed him. But controlled himself by making fist.

"Come here." Maheen asked Raunak to sit beside Abhimaan.

"Raunak" Raunak extended his hand to Abhimaan, who looked Raunak top to bottom then his hand.

"Abhimaan, Divya's..."

"Divya's Abhi bhaiya." Raunak completed Abhimaan's statement. And continued "I know everyone here. Divya kept talking about you all every time"

Rehana nudges Divya. While she was finding a way to get out of here. From all these teasing.

"Ohh... then when did you talk about yourselves?" Raunak turned his head to find the source and saw Divya's mother was coming with a tray filled with Food and juice.

Raunak got up from the couch and then took the tray from her and kept it on the centre table, then bent down to touch her feet.

"God bless you Raunak. I must say your parents raised you well" Raunak's face fell and he took deep breaths.

"Thank you" He smiled politely then settled beside Abhimaan.

They kept asking Raunak about his schooling, about his hometown and everything.

"Raunak, what is your surname?" Out of nowhere Yuvaan asked, looking at his eyes, they resembled someone whom he has known for years.

Raunak felt his throat was running dry. They would catch him immediately if he said his surname was Rajvansh.

He couldn't tell them. Neither could he avoid this question.

He cleared his throat and was going to say something when Maheen said "what is this Yuvaan? We're seeing him for the first time and you're making him uncomfortable by your rapid fire." Maheen glared at Yuvaan, who raised his hands and shook his head.

"But we sh..."

Maheen turned her head to her son and glared at him too.

"If I say no. Then it is no Abhi"

Abhimaan groaned internally and nodded his head "okay"

Rehana was having a hard time controlling her laugh, when Maheen scolded Yuvaan for asking too much. But controlled her laugh by pinching her nose.

His eyes went to her and saw she was pinching her nose trying not to smile.

Abhimaan looked at her, with a fake angry face and she stuck out her tongue.

~♥~

"My goodness" Raunak sighed hard after coming out from inside to the garden with Divya.

Maheen asked Divya to take Raunak with her to the garden. So that the duo can talk alone.

"What happened?"

"Divya... your family was in CID earlier?"

Divya chuckled and asked "why?"

"the way they kept asking me questions one by one I feel they're in. Especially your Abhi bhaiya... damn"

"Abhi bhaiya was never like that, you know. I think sab pe Ayaan bhai ke tarah interrogate karne ki bhoot sawar ho gaya hai"

Divya laughed hard, stopping near the swirl. Raunak smiled, seeing her smiling freely. And he felt the urge to keep her with him forever. He knows the truth will hurt Divya. Maybe she will leave him after knowing everything.

He gulped. When she stopped laughing and looked at his serious face.

"Hey what happened?" Divya snapped her fingers and she felt being pulled in his embrace.

He breathed out in the crook of her neck, inhaling her scent and she caressed his back.

"Raunak are you okay?"

"Yes. I'm okay. It's just I missed you so much"

"We met yesterday"

"So what? Can't I miss my girlfriend everyday?"

"Yes you can. But you're looking so low"

"No, I'm okay. I'll be perfect, just let me hug you for some more time" Raunak said, tightening his grip around her and she smiled, letting him hug her the way he wanted.

~♥~

"You can laugh Rehana" Abhimaan said coming inside the kitchen and said Irritatingly.

Rehana giggled and turned towards him.

"Khe khe khe khe. Bahut hasi aa rahi hai na tumhe?"

(You are laughing a lot, aren't you?)

Abhimaan mocked coming closer to her and caging her between himself and the kitchen counter.

They're standing in between the two shelves so that no one could guess someone was here.

Rehana widened her eyes, feeling caged, and realising how close they're standing. She held his shoulder for support when Abhimaan pressed his body more to her and she stood on her tiptoes, stepping back in the process.

"I am sorry. I am sorry, see I'm holding my ears. Please don't tickle Abhimaan" Rehana said, holding his wrist midway, wondering why he came closer to her, when he danced his finger on her bare waist.

Abhimaan smiled looking at the scared kitten and cupped her waist with his hands.

"Hawwww, why are you so thin? Look I can cup your waist like I cup your cheeks" Abhimaan said Measuring her waist circumference and Rehana giggled feeling ticklish.

"Because I'm what I am. But if you don't like..." Abhimaan pressed his lips against her stopping her in the midway and bit hard on her lips when she slapped on his shoulder and he sucked to soothe the burning pain.

"You do not have to change yourself for me, or for anyone" Abhimaan demanded coming out from the kiss and looked straight into her eyes.

"Who said I'm going to change myself for you?" Rehana asked with a tint of naughtiness in her eyes and voice.

Abhimaan raised his brows and said "you were going to say this a moment ago"

"Hein? No. I was going to say... you can find another wife for yourself then" She bit on her lower lips and looked down.

Abhimaan chuckled and cupped her cheeks, making her look at him.

"I want you. No matter how you look. I fell in love with these two eyes and this pure soul. Not with your body"

The purity Rehana always saw in his eyes, brought a different kind of satisfaction inside her heart.

She smiled and kissed his cheeks one by one.

"I purple you" Rehana said, kissing the top of his nose, while his right hand's fingers were roaming on her bare waist and left hand was busy playing with her soft curls.

"What does that mean?" he asked confusingly and Rehana was like are you dumb?

"You don't know the meaning of I purples you? Like seriously?"

"Am I supposed to know this?" He asked not getting why she was being like this all of a sudden.

"Ewwww... .. You're so unromantic. I purple you means I love you" Rehana said and tried to push him but he tightened his hold on her lower back, keeping her still against the counter.

"I'm unromantic? After giving you so many kisses and love bites you're claiming I'm unromantic?"

"Yes you're"

Abhimaan angled her face and pressee his teeth on her neck.

"Shhhh Abhi"

Abhimaan kissed the place and sucked it to make her a little bit relaxed as she was so excited.

"I hope every time you see yourself in the mirror, It's going to remind you of what I'm capable of and how romantic your Abhi is," he said, blowing air at the place when he bit and she took long breaths to calm down her insane heartbeat.

"I love you" She mumbled, pressing her lips against him and pulled him close by encircling her hands around his neck.

"I love you more"

~♥~

"I am so happy today" Hiya explained joyfully when Ayaan and Ishani signed the marriage registry certificate.

Vihaan adored the happy smile on her lips. And how happy she was looking.

He wished for her happiness always. Soon they are also going to tie the knot.

"Stop gazing at her '' Meera nudged her son. And Vihaan rolled his eyes at his mother's behaviour.

"Maa, are you not so excited nowadays?"

"Yes. I am. Finally my dearest nerd son is going to get married"

"When you become so over dramatic maa"

"The day being over excited you filled Hiya's particles with the sacred vermillion" She gave him a tight lipped smile and Vihaan shyly moved his face aside.

"I have known it for a long time that you're in love."

"ohhh really?" Vihaan mocked and Meera glared at her son who chucklee lowering his head.

~♥~

"You two can stay together if you want. I'll ask someone to bring her belongings from the other room to here in your room Ayaan" Maheen said after the dinner.

"No need for that Badi maa. She is too young to live together with me" Ayaan chuckled and Maheen slapped his shoulder, laughing with him.

"Go. Talk with her for sometime. She is waiting for you in her room."

"Hmm. I need to tell her some important things"

"Do not scare her Ayaan"

"Yes badi maa. Why would I? After all she is my wife"

Maheen smiled at his possessiveness and kissed his forehead.

"She deserved the best. And you're the best for her in every sense"

"Thank you for trusting me" Ayaan held Maheen's hand and smiled.

"I trust you the most" Maheen patted his cheeks and he went inside after nodding at Maheen.
