Aarohi POV:

I woke up to the heavy light falling on me. I tried to get up, but I fell back, clutching my head. "Argh," I groaned in pain. Why the fuck is my head aching like hell?

Then everything hit me, Oh my god, what happened yesterday?

'I will take you home, Aaru.'

'It's okay, Harsh. I'll take her home.'

'Oh, that's where I live now, Harsh.'

'I love the mole on your neck, Ajju. Please let me kiss it.' Oh my god, what the hell did I do...I hid my face in embarrassment.

'My hands are aching, my legs are also aching, my head is spinning, my entire body is in pain. Can you give me your magic hug, please?'

Even in my drunk state, I love how he took care of me like I was a precious petal. No other man would be this gentle, this patient. He didn't do anything inappropriate; he just took care of me. My heart swelled with more love for my man.

Wait, hold on. Put everything on pause. Now rewind.

"Baby, you should get changed."

Baby? Ajju called me baby?

He freaking called me baby?

A surge of pure joy washed over me. He called me baby!

My heart danced in my chest. Ajju, the man of few words, actually called me baby. It felt like a breakthrough, like the walls he had built around his heart were finally crumbling. I felt a rush of warmth and happiness.

I looked around to see no one, where did he go? Then I heard the bathroom door closing.

There he is, my prince charming!

When he saw me, he started saying, "Oh Rooh, you woke up, go-"

I threw the duvet to the side and jumped on him, shouting, "Arrhhhhhh, Ajjuuuu! You called me baby!"

He caught me, stumbling backward. I must add here that he works out a lot because catching me like this is no joke.

He also shouted, "Oh my ears! Geez, woman, why are you shouting?"

I shouted again in his ear, "You freaking called me baby yesterday, Ajju."

I could see his eyes widening as he slowly said, "Me? No, you remembered wrong, Rooh. I did no such thing."

There he goes, declining, but I don't care. He called me baby, and I am his baby.

I kissed his both cheeks and said, "Very good morning, Ajju. I love you." I got down and ran out the door.

Then I remembered something, so I looked back at him to see him rubbing the spot I kissed Softly and lovingly. I smiled, saying, "Oh, Ajju, the cookies you made yesterday were amazing!"

With that, I ran downstairs, shouting, "Baba! Baaaaabaaaaa!"

I saw him watering plants in the garden, so I ran to him, hugging and shouting, "Baba, Baba! You know Ajju called me his baby!"

He laughed, patting my head. "Look how happy you are just for this small thing."

"Small thing? Baba, this is a very big thing! Ajju is slowly coming out of his shell. He is letting me in!"

He shook his head, saying, "We will discuss that later. For now, greet the guest here."

"Guest?" That's when I saw Harsh standing there with a completely emotionless face. He was already wearing a suit, ready for the office, I guess.
