Part 8 ~ A New Beginning

Ranvijay's pov

I was stirred from my slumber by the gentle sound of birds chirping outside. Slowly, I opened my eyes, blinking away the remnants of sleep. To my slight discomfort, I realized that my hand had remained under Vandita's head throughout the night, and it had gone numb from the prolonged position. I grimaced slightly, trying to move my hand carefully without disturbing her.I gently lifted my hand from beneath her head, taking extra care to avoid waking her. As I glanced down, I was met with a sight that filled me with a deep, peaceful joy. she was sleeping soundly, her features illuminated by the soft morning sunlight that streamed through the window. Her serene expression and the way the light danced across her face made her look like an angel, ethereal and beautiful.

A tender smile spread across my face as I watched her. I leaned down and pressed a soft kiss to her forehead, savoring the sweetness of the moment. Her eyelids fluttered slightly in response, and she shifted a bit, but she remained peacefully asleep. Wanting to let her rest undisturbed, I carefully stepped back, ensuring I didn't wake her. I quietly got out of bed and made my way to the bathing room. The cool water was invigorating, washing away the remnants of sleep and preparing me for the day ahead. Once I had freshened up and dressed, I felt revitalized and ready to embrace the morning.

Returning from the bathing room, I noticed her  standing by the window, her silhouette framed by the morning light. She was gazing out at the world beyond, her expression thoughtful and serene. The soft light highlighted the gentle curve of her features and the grace with which she carried herself. I approached her quietly, not wanting to startle her. As I drew nearer, I took in the peaceful scene before me, feeling a sense of gratitude for the moment we shared. She turned her head slightly, sensing my presence. She offered me a warm smile that made my heart skip a beat. It was a simple yet profound gesture, one that spoke volumes about the connection we were nurturing.

"Good morning," I said softly, my voice carrying the warmth of the affection I felt for her.She turned fully towards me, her eyes meeting mine with a gentle glint. "Good morning" she replied, her voice soft and melodious. "I hope I didn't keep you waiting."I shook my head, a smile playing on my lips. "Not at all. I enjoyed waking up to find you here, looking so peaceful."

She blushed slightly, the warmth of the morning light accentuating her natural beauty. We shared a quiet, contented moment, the simple pleasure of each other's company making the morning feel special and full of promise.

Vandita's pov

I woke up as the first rays of the sun filtered through the curtains, their gentle warmth nudging me from sleep. As I opened my eyes, I noticed that I was alone in the bed, Ranvijay was nowhere to be seen. A faint sound of water splashing from the direction of the bathing room reached my ears, and I inferred that he was likely taking a bath. Stretching out and shaking off the last remnants of sleep, I made my way towards the window. The sun was spreading its golden light across the landscape, casting a warm, inviting glow over everything. I couldn't help but smile as I took in the beauty of the morning. Joining my hands together in a silent gesture of thanks, I offered a moment of gratitude to the heavens for another beautiful day.

As I turned my attention back to the room, I heard the door of the bathing room creak open. My gaze shifted towards it, and I was met with the sight of Ranvijay emerging from the steam-filled space. The sight took my breath away. He stood there, his upper body completely exposed, a single towel wrapped low around his waist. Water droplets glistened on his skin, highlighting the contours of his well-defined physique. My breath hitched as I took in the view, the combination of his wet hair, the steam still rising from his body, and his undeniably attractive appearance making my heart race. The intensity of the moment made me feel both exhilarated and shy. My cheeks flushed a deep pink, and my feet felt as though they were rooted to the spot, unable to move.
