Rudra woke up in the morning and realized that one of his arms was serving as a pillow for Aarohi's head, while his other arm rested on her stomach. What made him happiest was that Aarohi was hugging him tightly. Instead of waking her up, he pretended to sleep with his eyes half-open, savoring the moment. He couldn't bring himself to close his eyes fully, too overjoyed to have her so close.

When Aarohi woke up, she found herself in Rudra's arms and, for a moment, looked at his face in surprise. She reasoned that it must have been because of the cold night and the rain that they ended up cuddling. She didn't pull away immediately but continued to gaze at Rudra. Rudra, unable to resist any longer, opened his eyes fully. Their eyes met, and after a brief, intense moment, Aarohi quickly stood up, feeling awkward about the situation.

Just then, the old lady knocked on the door. "Breakfast is ready," she called out, "and please give me your clothes so I can wash them for you." Aarohi and Rudra complied, handing over their clothes before getting ready for breakfast.

At the breakfast table, the old lady introduced her husband to Aarohi and Rudra, explaining their situation. The husband greeted them warmly and joined them for breakfast. As Aarohi and Rudra were preparing to leave, the husband emerged from the room where they had spent the night.

"How did the bed collapse?" he asked, puzzled. "It's broken."

The old lady, in shock, replied, "I don't know." Then, realizing that Aarohi and Rudra had stayed in that room, she laughed softly and whispered to her husband, but her voice was loud enough for Aarohi and Rudra to hear. "They stayed in the room, and they are newly married and on holiday here."

The husband smiled knowingly and walked away. Aarohi's cheeks turned a deep shade of red as she blushed, feeling embarrassed by the misunderstanding. Rudra couldn't help but smile, amused by the situation. They both thanked the lady, bid their goodbyes, and set off to find their way back to the cottage.

They took a taxi to return to the cottage. During the ride, Rudra couldn't stop smiling, thinking about the old lady's assumptions. Aarohi noticed and asked, "Why are you smiling?" Rudra, trying to suppress his amusement, replied, "No, nothing."

Aarohi, frustrated, said, "It's funny to you, right? You're smiling at what the old lady thought about us." Rudra turned to her and said, "That's not my fault. She assumed it on her own."

Aarohi retorted, "It's entirely your fault because you told her we were married and on our honeymoon." Rudra calmly responded, "So what did you want me to tell her? That we are just what we are? Do you think she would have let us stay the night if she knew the truth?"
