33.
Morning came faster than they expected. Arya woke up by the constant ringing of the Alarm. She looked beside her to see Reyansh still sleeping. She smiled, looking at him, and kissed his forehead, letting her lips linger there for a while.
She remembered yesterday's events and how they ended up cuddling. Reyansh kept aside all the pillows that were between them, and they slept in each other's warm embrace, feeling safe and content.
Looking out of the window, she saw that the weather was beautiful, the wind blowing gently, making it seem like even the sky was happy. She wanted to experience this weather, to breathe in the fresh air.
So, without a second thought, untangling herself from his grip, She dashed towards the balcony. Lost in her world, giggling and swirling with happiness.
After some time she decided to freshen up and wake up Reyansh before heading downstairs.
She went to the washroom. After a good shower, she wore a maroon saree. Completing her look with silver jhumkas and wavy hair. She looked beautiful as always.
She headed to the bedroom to see Reyansh awake, looking through his phone. She went there and stood beside him. He looked up feeling someone's presence, only to get his breath hitched. She was looking outstanding. The way Saree was hugging her body showed her beautiful curves.
Her beautiful brown eyes were looking at him with so much love and innocence, and her cute, small, nose and pink plump lips were drawn into a beautiful smile that he wanted so much to kiss.
The way her hair bounces when she walks.
God She was looking more beautiful than yesterday but less than tomorrow.
"You are looking breathtaking, sweetcheeks," He said, and her face turned red. She smiled shyly. He was constantly staring at her, taking in her every feature.
"Stop staring," She said, looking here and there, not able to look into his eyes.
"Why? I am staring at my wife. Is it bothering you?" He smirked, looking at her flustered state.
"No, but we are getting late. Everyone is waiting for us, "she explained.
"You go, I will come in 5." She nodded and headed downstairs, and he went to get a shower.
She was running, lost in her world when she accidentally collided with someone and stumbled, almost falling.
"Arey ! Aaram se beta. Abhi hum dono gir gaye hote."
"What happened? Why are you running like this" she heard Avni's voice as she straightened her saree.
"Maa," she said, and Avni turned to look at her.
"Reyansh is ready to give us a chance." She said,
"To give our relationship a chance," she said joyfully.
Avni's eyes widened in surprise and delight as she heard her words. She hugged her.
She pulled slightly from their embrace, holding her shoulders and looking into her eyes with a mix of happiness and curiosity.
"Really Aaru?" she asked, her voice filled with warmth.
She nodded vigorously, unable to contain her excitement. "Yes, maa"
Tears welled up in Avni's eyes as she pulled her into another tight hug. "My child, may you both always remain happy like this"
They stood there in each other's arms for a moment, the weight of their shared happiness filling the air around them. Avni pulled back slightly, wiping away her tears.
Then they heard Arohi and Reva's voice, "Hey, what emotional scene is going on here? Tell us too" She exclaimed, walking towards Them.
"Yeah, yeah, bhabhi, tell us too," Reva chimed in, accompanying Arohi. They both joined them where Avni and Arya were standing.
Avni explained everything Arya had told her, and at first, both of them were shocked, finding it hard to believe.
But then Arohi looked at Arya, and she nodded, confirming it. They both became overjoyed and congratulated her.
"Wow, Bhabhi. I'm so happy for you and Bhai," Reva said, giving her a tight hug. "May both my children always remain happy like this" Avni said, caressing her head.
Avni's words warmed her heart, and she smiled gratefully at her. "Thank you, Maa." She said softly, feeling overwhelmed by the love and support surrounding her.
Reva stepped back, still beaming with happiness. "Bhabhi, this calls for a celebration!" she exclaimed, her eyes shining with excitement. Avni nodded in agreement.
"Haan, Reva is right. We should celebrate this beautiful moment," she said, her eyes twinkling.
Arya couldn't help but feel a surge of happiness at the thought of celebrating with her loved ones. It felt like the perfect way to mark the beginning of this new chapter in her life with Reyansh.
As if on cue, Aryan walked in with a curious expression.
"What's all the excitement about?" he asked, glancing around at them.
Arohi wasted no time in filling him in with the news, and he smiled at her sister, pulling her into a hug.
"Bas ese hi hamesha khush raha," He said, and Arya hugged her back, feeling the rush of emotion welling up inside her again.
Reva smiled, looking at the siblings, which didn't go unnoticed by Arohi.
"Congratulations, Bhabhi! I'm so happy for you,"
Reyan comes to the scene. He heard them talking and congratulated her. His voice filled with genuine joy. She thanked him, and he and Aryan left saying they had some work to do.
After he left, Avni and Reva made their way to the kitchen, leaving best friends alone. Arya looked at her best friend and smiled through her tears.
Arohi pulled her into an embrace. Her own eyes spring with tears seeing her best friend.
"Finally, it's happening, Ruhi," Arya said, pulling away from the hug. Arohi nodded his head wiping her tears.
"You have seen enough hardships. Now it's time for Happiness only and only happiness" Arohi said, caressing her cheeks. She nodded.
"I want to tell you something," Arohi said After some time. She hummed telling her to speak.
"Me and Vihaan are deciding to get engaged. My studies have been completed, and Vihaan is also doing well at his job, so we decided it's time for us to get engaged," She said and looked at her best friend for any reaction.
Arya looked at her best friend, smiled brightly, and hugged her.
"Congratulations I am so happy for you. Finally I can dance at your wedding.
We will go shopping, and I will be your bridesmaid and.
." She started ranting about things that they had to do, and Arohi laughed at her, knowing very well she would imagine everything, From her engagement to her wedding.
"Aaru, we have decided to get engaged, not wedded," Arohi said.
"Yes, yes, it will also happen soon. We have to do so much preparation.." She started telling Arohi everything they had to do, and her best friend listened attentively to her.
They made their way to the dining area, Laughing and giggling at her imagination about her wedding. It looks like it is her engagement, looking at her excitement.
They went to the dining area where Senior Shekhawat was sitting on the head chair, and beside him was Avni, then Reyansh and Arya sat beside him. In front of them were Vihaan and Arohi sat beside him.
Beside Arya sat Aryan and Reva, and in front of them were Reyaan and Arav.
Everybody started eating, talking, and teasing the couple till now. Everybody knew about Arya and Reyansh, thanks to Arya, and now both were red from embarrassment.
"Maa papa" Vihaan called the senior shekhawats. Everybody resumed eating, listening attentively to What the other had to say.
Vihaan held Arohi's hands under the table from nervousness. "Maa Arohi and I want to take a step ahead in our relationship. We want to get engaged, but....'' He paused, looking at everyone to see their reaction.
There was a smile on everyone's face. "Congratulations, beta, it's good that you want to take a step," Avni said.
"Yes beta, our blessings are with you," Arjun said.
Vihaan looked at Arohi, who gave him an encouraging nod, and he spoke.
"Thank you, Maa Papa, but there is something I want to ask you," Vihaan hesitantly said.
"We are listening," Avni said, encouraging him to continue.
Arya looked at Arohi and raised her eyebrow understanding Arohi gave her nod that everything was fine.
"I don't have biological parents, and I want ..." He paused. Avni was about to say something when he cut her off.
"I want both of you to talk to Arohi's parents about me and Arohi, will you?" He finally said and looked at them.
