***Ramya's POV.***


"So, who is going to explain? Reyansh?" Daksh Uncle asks.

"If you are going to ask me only, then why did you even say that?" Reyansh mumbles under his breath and I glare at him.

Reyansh's whole family and mine are right now in the study to discuss what happened not fifteen minutes ago. My Mum is dying to ask me questions. I know she wouldn't be bothered by my kiss, but she would be bothered by where it happened.

"What did you just say?" He asks.

"Nothing." Reyansh says and looks at me.

"I will explain." I say.

"He is the one who kissed you, so he will answer." Bhai says.

"No. Ramya kissed her first. And you heard her saying she loves Reyansh." Arya Bhabhi says and tries to calm Bhai.

"Whose side are you on, Arya?" Bhai asks her.

"Both of them. Let her speak and she would be better at that than my brother." She says, and she is correct.

"Right." I say and they glare at me.

"Ramya, do you really love him?" Mum asks me.

I gulp and look down shyly as I say, "Yes."

"Then you should have told me. Why did you create a scene like that?" Mum asks.

"Because he is stubborn, Mum. He likes me but still won't admit it, and then something snapped in me when I saw Jagvi again. So I just kissed him to make him realize his feelings for me, which are in the depth of his heart." I say.

"Then what about those dates?" Jiju asks.

"It was to make him jealous so he would react in some way." I say.

"And did he?" He asks and I nod.

"Oh! So that is why you were in Bhai's room last night." Parth says.

"Yes. He was upset with me. So I was there to assure him of my undying love and to tell him it was all to make him jealous." I say while Reyansh is making a weird face.

"That is why you reacted surprised when I asked you about getting married to Reyansh." Mum says.

"Yep." I say as I get closer to Reyansh and whisper, "You better act good, otherwise I will make sure to serve you cabbage for life."

"How do you know that I don't like that vegetable?" He whispers back.

"Obviously, because I love you." I whisper back.

"Stop whispering among yourself." Aunty says, "Reyansh, do you like Ramya?"

"I... I... I don't know." He says and I look at him with a fake hurt look.

"What do you mean you don't know? You weren't thinking twice before kissing her in front of others." Bhai says. He is getting super protective. I love it.

"Reyansh, don't get conscious. If you like Ramya even a little bit, just tell us." Jiju says.

"I... like her." He says with red cheeks.

"You do?" I ask with fake surprise.

"Yes." He says.

"Really?" I ask again.

"Yes. How many times do I have to repeat it for you to believe me?" He asks with a fake smile but I know he is getting irritated.

"A thousand times and still it won't be enough. I love you." I say and hug him.
