THE ROYS' - Where Royalty meets Power

CHAPTER - 06 LOUD AND CLEAR!!

The next morning, Abhimanyu walked in to the closet to choose a comfortable set of clothes for the day ahead. He picked out a black sweatshirt and black sweatpants to go with them. Black looked like a perfect color for the day he planned. He ditched the wrist watch, and then went for sneakers. He let his hair take its own shape, leaving them untouched. He picked up his phone, to text Abeer. 

Akshara walked into the room, with her husband's most preferred black coffee, with just two spoons of milk. She wasn't surprised to find him all black. It only excited her slightly. Just slightly, she told to herself. Keeping that aside, she believed that her husband looked extremely hot in black, second in the list. She didn't want to think about the first and walked to him with a smile. 

Abhimanyu looked at his wife and reciprocated her smile, before he sighed at the coffee, "I was about to come down, Akshara." 

Akshara shrugged, not disclosing that she wanted to spend time with her husband before he went on with his day, a day where she had to share him with everyone. Like he understood what she didn't say, he pecked her temple, before he took the tray from her and walked into their personal balcony. The sight of sea felt refreshing. 

The sea stretched endlessly before them, as they stood facing it. He draped his arm over her shoulder, pulling her closer as the morning breeze tousled her hair, sending loose strands brushing against his cheek. She leaned into him, her body instinctively fitting into the curve of his side like a missing piece.

Akshara tucked herself further into his warmth, the fabric of his black sweatshirt soft against her cheek. She felt his steady heartbeat beneath the layers, a silent reassurance that he was hers, at least for now. His free hand absentmindedly traced circles on her arm, his touch both grounding and comforting. 

The moment felt complete. They didn't need to talk. They never had to. That's one thing unique about their precious relationship. Somehow, her husband and she, never needed words to communicate. She sipped her coffee, and tilted her head, to look at her man, who looked unreal as the morning rays of sun hit his serene face. 

"Aaj kuch acha hone wala hain." She said. After a night like that, she didn't expect herself to be at peace but strangely, she was calm, good kind of calm. 

Abhimanyu nodded, but stayed silent. He had the same feeling. He just didn't want to jinx it. 

Abhimanyu walked into Ruchika's room, as his wife told him that she woke up an hour ago, owing to her body clock. He found her, sipping her coffee, looking into the laptop, which was placed on a makeshift cute table. He didn't know such thing existed in his home. Anyways, he didn't want her working.

"You are supposed to rest, Ruchi." He remarked, startling her.

Ruchika pouted and shook her head, "I won't step out of the room. I won't strain my leg. But I'll work. Bhabhs said I can." 

He shook his head to himself as he walked to her. He pressed a kiss to her forehead, "Take care. Don't over do it. Jo bhi chahiye, just inform us. Your Bhabhi is working from home. I'll be back in the evening." he said, informed her, and when she nodded like a good girl with a bright smile, he walked away. 

Abhimanyu descended the stairs, and walked straight to the dining area, where Anirudh spread his set-up, making it look like a board room, not dining area. He is surprised his wife let him do that.
