Chapter 40

The next morning in the Randhawat mansion was a vision of tranquility and warmth. The sunlight gently filtered through the glass doors of the balcony, casting a golden hue over the room. Ekanksh and Vamika lay entwined in each other's arms, their bodies molded together in a loving embrace. Ekanksh had woken up first, his eyes resting on Vamika's peaceful face. He watched her with a tender gaze, noting the slight furrow in her brow that remained from her nightmare the previous night. He had no desire to wake her, understanding she needed the rest, so he carefully extricated himself from her embrace and made his way to the washroom.

Ekanksh moved quietly, not wanting to disturb the serene moment. The cool water of the shower helped him shake off the remnants of sleep, invigorating him for the day ahead. He emerged from the washroom a few minutes later, clad in only a towel, droplets of water still glistening on his skin. To his surprise, Vamika was awake. She sat up in bed, her eyes half-open and her hair slightly tousled from sleep. She looked at him with a mixture of sleepiness and admiration, her gaze tracing the lines of his well-defined physique.

Vamika, still half-dreaming, whispered to herself, "Hey Shiv Ji, mere solah somwaar ke vrat ka phal toh nahi yeh." It was a soft, almost reverent complaint to her deity, marveling at Ekanksh's striking appearance. She couldn't help but think that perhaps her prayers and fasts had been rewarded with such a handsome and loving partner.

Unbeknownst to her, Ekanksh had caught every word. A playful smirk tugged at the corners of his lips as he approached the bed. "What are you doing, my jaan?" he asked, his voice laced with amusement.

Vamika's eyes widened in shock. She hadn't realized she had spoken aloud. A deep blush spread across her cheeks, turning them a rosy shade of pink. Embarrassed, she covered her face with her hands, trying to hide her mortification. She peeked through her fingers, only to find Ekanksh's eyes twinkling with mischief and affection. The sight made her heart flutter.

Ekanksh sat down on the edge of the bed, gently pulling her hands away from her face. "Don't be shy, Vamika. I love hearing what you think of me," he said softly, his voice full of warmth and tenderness.

Vamika's embarrassment began to melt away, replaced by a feeling of warmth and security. She looked up at him, her eyes filled with affection. "I was just telling Shiv Ji how handsome you are," she admitted, her voice barely above a whisper.

Ekanksh chuckled, his laughter low and rich. He leaned down and pressed a soft kiss to her forehead, his lips lingering there for a moment. "Well, I'm glad Shiv Ji agrees with you," he teased, making her giggle.

The room was filled with a warm, loving energy. Despite her initial embarrassment, Vamika couldn't help but smile back at Ekanksh. His teasing words and the affectionate moment they shared made her forget the terror of her nightmare, replacing it with the comforting presence of her beloved.

Ekanksh moved closer, wrapping his arms around her in a gentle embrace. "You don't need to pray for something you already have," he whispered in her ear, his breath warm against her skin. "I'm here, and I'm not going anywhere."

Vamika leaned into his embrace, her heart swelling with affection. "I know," she whispered back, her voice filled with emotion. "I'm just grateful for you."

The morning sun continued to bathe the room in its golden light, creating a perfect backdrop for their intimate moment. For a while, they simply held each other, savoring the peace and quiet of the early morning. The world outside seemed to fade away, leaving just the two of them in their own little bubble of love and warmth.

Ekanksh's presence was a balm to Vamika's soul, soothing away the remnants of her nightmare and filling her with a sense of contentment. She knew that as long as he was by her side, she could face anything. Their love was her strength, and in his arms, she felt truly at home.
