As Rohan tip-toed Before Hugging her from back side 

Mishthi chuckled, feeling a familiar pair of arms around her waist.

“Good morning, my Husband to be”
Rohan nuzzled her neck, his voice still husky from sleep.

“Morning, my gorgeous bride to be”
Mishthi giggled, continuing to prepare breakfast. She glanced over her shoulder at him.

“You're up early today. Couldn't sleep?”

Rohan rested his chin on her shoulder,
watching her cook.

“Today's Rakshabandhan soo I thought to get ready..Have you tied it to Rocky bhai?”

Mishthi smiled nodding her head as she turned her head slightly to look at him.
Gesturing towards the pot on the stove.

“Want a some?”

Rohan’s eyes lit up at the mention of food.
“Is that even a question? Of course, I want some.”

Mishthi grinned and continued to cook, occasionally stirring the Gajar ka halwa.

“I know You and your endless appetite.”

Rohan laughed sitting on the chair.
“Hey, I can’t help it if your cooking is too good to resist.”

Mishthi glanced at him, a proud smile on her lips.
“Such flattery. You're trying to butter me up, aren't you? Well, it's working. Here...”

She offered him a spoonful of the halwa, holding the spoon up to his lips.

Rohan tasted it, his eyes closing in satisfaction.
“Mmm, delicious as always.”

Mishthi beamed, happy to see his reaction as when suddenly a servent came and spoke

“R...Reena ma’am has Fainted” 

Rohan’s face immediately grew alarmed, his tone shifting from playful to serious.
"What?! Where is she?"

The servent pointed towards her room
“In her room sir.”

They reached the room and found Reena lying on the bed. Her face was pale but her eyes were open.

“What happened Reena everything okay??”

Reena tried to speak, but her voice was weak.

“I... I don’t know. I vomitted in morning and while I was getting ready to come tie you rakhi when all of sudden I felt dizzy and then... I must have fainted. I’m... I'm fine, though...” 

Rohan and Mishthi hurried to her side, their expressions filled with worry as Fathima Amma came and started Checking her pulses.

Mishthi looked at Fatima Amma, hopeful for some reassurance.
“What is it? Is she okay?”

Fatima Amma looked up at them with a  gentle smile.

“She's alright.... She's pregnant.” 

Their jaws almost hit the floor. After a moment of shocked silence, Rohan spoke up.
“Are you... Are you sure?”

Fatima Amma nodded, her smile growing wider as she left the room.

Mishthi’s eyes widened in disbelief. She looked at Reena, her voice soft and full of wonder.
