After Avneet had confessed her fear of losing Siddharth to Samiridhi, he had looked at her with a calm that steadied her anxious heart. He pulled her into a warm embrace and whispered softly, "Okay then, let's free you from this fear." She looked up at him, confused. "How?" she asked.
"Just wait here," he said, stepping back with a mischievous smile, and left the room before she could stop him.
Minutes later, Siddharth returned and gently shut the door behind him. Walking over to her with an almost boyish excitement, he said, "Close your eyes, love." Avneet frowned slightly in curiosity but did as he asked. After a few seconds, he said, "Now open them."
What she saw made her breath catch in her throat.
Siddharth was kneeling before her, a single red rose in his hand and the softest, most sincere look in his eyes. "Mrs. Avneet Siddharth Nigam," he said gently, "will you marry me again?"
Her eyes widened, her heart stuttered in surprise. "Sid!" she gasped, barely believing what she was seeing.
"Love," he said, still kneeling, "will you?"
A laugh bubbled from her lips, full of disbelief and emotion. "Of course, yes!" she cried, taking the rose from his hand.
He stood and held her hand, pulling her toward the center of the room. "Then let's get married," he said playfully.
Avneet gave him a puzzled look. "Sid, are you in your senses? we're already married."
"No, I'm not in my senses," he said with mock drama, "I'm madly in love with you."
"Oh really?" she challenged, folding her arms.
"Really. Now, let's make it official—again. Give me your wedding ring."
"What?"
"Just do it," he urged with a smile. She nodded, removed her ring, and he did the Same. He handed her his ring and took hers.
"Okay, ready?" he asked.
"For what?" she asked again, half-laughing, half-curious.
"For marrying me," he said matter-of-factly. "Mrs. Avneet Siddharth Nigam, will you accept Mr. Siddharth Nigam as your husband?"
Now she understood. This wasn't just a game. He was trying to replace her fear with a memory.
She smiled, playing along. "Hmmm..."
"Avneet!" he groaned.
"Okay, sorry!" she giggled. Then she looked into his eyes. "Yes, I do."
"Mr. Siddharth Nigam, will you accept Mrs. Avneet Siddharth Nigam as your wife?" she asked with mock solemnity.
"I do."
They exchanged rings like they had never done before—with hearts fully intertwined, no fears, just promises.
Siddharth gave her a teasing look. "Now you can kiss your bride."
Before he could say more, Avneet pulled him into a passionate kiss, catching him off guard. But soon, he melted into it, holding her tight, returning every ounce of her emotion. When they finally pulled away, she cupped his face and whispered, "I love you, Sid."
"I love you too," he murmured back, pressing his forehead to hers.
Time passed in silence until Siddharth broke it with a soft chuckle. "Avi?"
"Hmmm?" she murmured, still holding him close.
"Can we go to sleep now?"
She broke the embrace, eyes narrowing, then grabbed a pillow from the couch and began hitting him. "You idiot! You ruined such a romantic moment!"
Laughing, Siddharth tried to shield himself. "But I'm really tired! I have an important meeting tomorrow!"
She finally stopped and hugged him again, burying her face into his shoulder. "Thank you. Even though you're tired, you did all this just to make me feel better."
He pulled back slightly and looked into her eyes. "Who said I did this for you?"
Her eyes narrowed again. "What?"
"I did this for my happiness," he teased.
"Care to explain?"
He gently placed both hands on her shoulders. "When I see you happy... I will be happy too."
A wide smile bloomed on her face, and without another word, they laid down on the bed, curling up beside one another.
As Sid drifted off to sleep, Avneet kept staring at him, her fingers softly tracing his cheek.
Sid... you're the world's best husband. I promise I'll never doubt your love again. It's so pure, just like your heart. You've given me every happiness I could dream of—and in return, I promise I'll do the same. Just stay by my side, because you're my world. I can't imagine life without you. I love you so, so much...
She finally closed her eyes, with her head still resting on his chest, and fell asleep beside the man who was her peace.
Next Morning...
Sunlight poured into the room as Avneet sat at the vanity, brushing her hair, while Siddharth adjusted his outfit. He looked at her through the mirror.
"Avi?"
"Hmmm?"
"Yesterday you were saying something before I fell asleep..."
She put the brush down and walked over to him, gently straightening his tie. "Yes, I was."
"And?" he prompted.
She smiled softly. "I was asking... When is our tenth wedding anniversary?"
"There's still time. Why?"
"I want to get married to you again on our tenth anniversary."
Siddharth turned to her, eyebrows raised. "Avi, we just got married yesterday!"
"But that was a court marriage," she insisted.
"And now you want what?"
"A traditional Indian wedding."
He gave her an exasperated look. "Are you serious?"
"Don't give me that look," she warned. "Just say yes."
He sighed. "We'll think about it later. For now, let's go down. Everyone must be waiting."
"Wait!"
"What now?"
"Come home early today."
"Why?"
"Sid! You forgot?"
"What?"
"Tomorrow is Mom and Dad's anniversary! We need to decorate."
"I'll try," he said, grabbing his files.
"Sid..."
"I have an important meeting and need to visit the factory. I'll try to come early, but, no promises."
"Fine," she sighed. "What about the gift?"
"Already ordered. It'll be delivered to my office."
"And the cake?"
"Dada was handling that. I'll confirm with him on the way."
"Okay," she said, finally satisfied. "Let's go."
He nodded, and the two walked downstairs together, stepping into another day—stronger, closer, and more in love than ever.
