It had been at least 3 days since the whole Esha drama happened, Raghvi were originally supposed to leave Paris the next day but Pallavi wanted to stay a bit longer. Despite wanting to go back home, Raghav decided to stay back just for her, instantly brightening up her whole mood. Within those days Raghvi explored the city of love together. They roamed the city, and Pallavi fell in love with the magnificent views. Raghav on the other hand didn't focus much on the views but rather focused on Pallavi. He noticed how her face would light up at the smallest things. How she'd laugh at all his terrible jokes. He noticed every little aspect about her. As they'd roam the city their hands would brush against each other. Both of them felt the spark but brushed it off. But as it started to happen more often, Raghav couldn't handle the urge and finally intertwined their fingers together, Pallavi looked at their hands and then back up at Raghav. He avoided to look at her and pretended to act natural. To be honest he had expected her to pull her hand away but instead she held it tighter as they continued to walk. This had become their new normal. Although they weren't sure where they stand in their relationship, any stranger that would see them would think they're in love.

Pallavi saw a shopping mall and dragged Raghav to it. She saw multiple outfits that she loved but they were to expensive to buy, and she didn't want to use Raghav's money. However, Raghav grabbed all the fits she liked and payed for them without any hesitation. Pallavi tried to stop him but he had assured her that his money is now also hers. She still felt guilty.

"Pallavi if I'm not going to spend my money on my wife then who else am I supposed to spend it on." He said naturally.

Pallavi knew he would not listen to anything else until she agreed.

"ugh Fineee." she said pouting with her cute puppy face.

Raghav smiled and kept staring at her.

"Kya hua? Aise kyu ghoor rahe ho, pyaar vyaar toh nai ho gaya mujhse?" she asked teasing him.

Raghav was stunned to speak.

"Sach mein ho gaya kya?" she giggled.

Before he could answer she dragged him into another shop. Pallavi literally shopped till she dropped. She decided to buy something for her new family, the Rao's. All Raghav did was follow her around like a puppy, holding all the bags for her. It warmed her heart to see him do all this without a single complaint. She could see that he was tired but her tried not to show it. She felt bad for the guy and decided to call it a day. Besides they had a flight to catch the next day. Once again they had dinner together, talked about random things and enjoyed each others presence. Both of them helped each other pack and went to sleep.

The next morning, Raghvi woke up in a good mood. Raghav went down to the cafe and waited for Pallavi to arrive so they can have breakfast together. Having breakfast together had become their thing. After they were done they headed to the airport and flew back home. The flight back home was really long. She felt tired but chose to stay awake with her Ghamandi Rao since his fear of flying was kicking in. She decided to watch a movie together to divert his mind from the flight. Once they landed Raghav took their luggage and put it in their car. He looked at Pallavi and saw how tired she looked. They sat in their car as the driver drove them back to their house. Since it was a 45 minute drive, Raghav told Pallavi to get some rest. She was going to place her head against the window but Raghav pulled her closer to him and placed her head on his shoulder.

" I don't want you to hurt your neck, so don't argue and go to sleep." He said as he ran his fingers through her hair.

she hummed in approval and slowly dosed off. The whole ride Raghav admired his sleeping beauty until he dosed off too. Once they arrived, Raghav was the first to wake up, he instructed the driver to take their luggage inside.
