Arnav's car glided smoothly through the quiet streets, the soft hum of the engine blending with the gentle rustling of trees in the evening breeze. The city lights cast a warm glow, creating a serene backdrop as they made their way to Raha's home.
Raha sat beside Arnav, her hand resting comfortably on the center console, her fingers occasionally brushing against his. The comfortable silence between them spoke volumes, a testament to their deep connection.
As they approached Raha's house, Arnav slowed the car and pulled into the driveway. He turned off the engine and turned to Raha, a tender smile playing on his lips. "Here we are," he said softly.
Raha looked at him, her eyes reflecting the warmth and affection she felt. "Thank you for tonight, Arnav. It was perfect."
Arnav reached out, gently tucking a strand of hair behind her ear. "I'm glad you enjoyed it. I always want to make you happy."
Raha's smile widened, and she leaned in, pressing a soft kiss to his cheek. "You do, Arnav. More than you know."
They sat in the car for a moment longer, savoring the closeness before Raha finally unbuckled her seatbelt and opened the door. Arnav quickly followed, getting out of the car to walk her to the door.
The night air was cool, and the scent of blooming flowers filled the air as they walked up the path to Raha's front door. Arnav held her hand, his touch gentle and reassuring.
When they reached the door, Raha turned to face him, her eyes shining with emotion. "Arnav, I..."
Before she could finish, Arnav leaned in and captured her lips in a tender kiss. The world seemed to fade away as they lost themselves in the moment, their hearts beating in sync.
When they finally pulled apart, Raha's cheeks were flushed, and she looked up at Arnav with a mix of love and gratitude. "I love you," she whispered.
Arnav's eyes softened, and he cupped her face in his hands. "I love you too, Raha. More than words can say."
They stood there for a few moments, wrapped in each other's embrace, before Raha reluctantly stepped back. "I should go inside. Laksh might be waiting."
Arnav nodded, understanding her concerns. "I'll see you tomorrow?"
Raha smiled. "Definitely."
Arnav watched as she unlocked the door and stepped inside, giving him one last smile before closing the door behind her. He stood there for a moment, letting the warmth of their shared love fill his heart before turning and heading back to his car.
As he drove away, Arnav couldn't help but feel a sense of contentment. Despite the challenges they faced, he knew that as long as they had each other, they could overcome anything. And with that thought, he made his way home, already looking forward to the next time he would see Raha.

The morning sun cast a golden glow over the city as Laksh eagerly made his way to Ragini's house. He was in high spirits, a playful grin on his face as he thought of the surprise he had planned. He spotted Ragini walking down the driveway and immediately quickened his pace.
"Ragini!" Laksh called out, a mischievous sparkle in his eyes. "Catch me if you can!"
He dashed toward her, laughing, and Ragini squealed with delight, breaking into a sprint. They ran around the garden, their laughter echoing through the quiet neighborhood. It was a scene of pure joy, their carefree energy filling the morning air.
