An Unwanted Vow

Episode 21

RECAP:

Arushi was stunned by his unexpected move. As she noticed everyone in the mansion watching them with wide eyes, she shyly buried her face in his chest. The room fell silent, eyes widening in surprise, but soon those expressions softened into smiles. The warmth of the moment spread through the Rathore mansion as everyone felt a sense of happiness for Vivanth and Arushi, seeing a spark of love rekindled between them.

(EPISODE 21)

Vivanth carried Arushi into their room, still holding her close. "Aan, leave me" Arushi shouted, but he ignored her pleas and gently placed her on the bed, sitting down in front of her. Arushi remained quiet, her lips forming a cute pout.

"Come on, Rabbit, at least talk to me," Vivanth said, his voice gentle. "What's bothering you, baby?" he asked again, cupping her face tenderly.

"You embarrassed me in front of everyone. How am I supposed to face them now?" Arushi mumbled, looking down with her pout still in place. Vivanth couldn't help but chuckle at her innocence. He pulled her onto his lap, letting her rest her head on his shoulder. Her hand circled his neck while her other hand drew lazy circles on his chest.

Vivanth kissed the tip of her nose and said softly, "My little Rabbit, there's nothing to be embarrassed about. We're husband and wife, and they're the ones who got us married, remember? So there's nothing wrong."

He paused for a moment before continuing with a playful smirk, "Besides, I can hold my wife whenever and wherever I want. I don't care what others think."

His teasing words made Arushi blush even more, and she buried her face deeper into his chest, feeling warmth and comfort in his embrace.

"I'm sorry, Rabbit," Vivanth said softly, taking Arushi's hand in his. He gently placed a kiss on her hand, making her look up and meet his eyes. Their gazes locked, and he continued with sincerity, "I shouldn't have been so harsh with you this morning. I'm really sorry for that. I was just stressed about an important meeting with a big client, and I let that pressure take over, but that doesn't make it right for how I treated you."

Vivanth's voice grew softer as he held her gaze. "I promise I'll never do that again. I'll make sure to drop you off and pick you up from the office or wherever you need to go. I won't be a jerk anymore. Please forgive me, Rabbit."

Tears welled up in Arushi's eyes as she listened to his heartfelt apology. She could feel the regret and love in his words, making her emotions overflow. 

"Don't cry, my love," Vivanth whispered softly as he wiped away her tears, pressing a kiss on her forehead. "I'm sorry for being rude and harsh with my words," Arushi murmured, her voice trembling.

"You don't need to apologize, baby. You have every right over this Vivanth Singh Rathore," he replied, his tone sincere and full of warmth. "And remember, only you have that right." Arushi could feel the honesty in his words, his voice laced with genuine affection towards her.

They stayed in each other's embrace for a while, soaking in the warmth and comfort. A few minutes later, Vivanth gently lifted Arushi from his lap and placed her beside him.

"What happened?" Arushi asked with a confused expression, her brows furrowed slightly.

"Just a minute," Vivanth replied with a soft smile, moving towards the dressing table. He picked up a jasmine gajra that was resting there and walked back to Arushi. Offering his hand to her, he signaled her to stand. She hesitated for a moment, then placed her hand in his and stood up.

With a gentle tug, Vivanth guided her towards the balcony attached to their room. The space was beautifully adorned with a mini garden and a cozy swing nestled among flowering plants. The scent of fresh blossoms filled the air as they stepped out.

Vivanth settled himself comfortably on the swing, spreading his legs wide enough to make space for Arushi. Gently, he guided her to sit between his legs, her back resting against his chest. As he began placing the jasmine gajra in her hair, Arushi softly said, "You don't have to, I can do it myself."

"But I want to," Vivanth whispered, his tone tender yet firm. He carefully wove the delicate flowers into her hair, his touch lingering with affection.

Once he was done, he wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her closer. Arushi leaned into his embrace, her eyes drifting towards the moon that hung low in the night sky, casting a soft glow over the garden. The night was serene, with only the rustling of leaves and the faint scent of jasmine filling the air.

In that moment, words seemed unnecessary. The silence between them wasn't empty—it was filled with unspoken love, trust, and the quiet comfort of simply being together. 

Vivanth continued to gently caress Arushi's hair with one hand, letting his fingers run through the soft strands. With his other hand, he slowly moved towards her bare waist, his touch light and deliberate. Arushi felt a soft shiver run down her spine as his fingers brushed against her skin, sending a warmth spreading through her.

She bit her lip, trying to control the fluttering in her chest. Vivanth noticed her reaction and couldn't help but smile. He rested his chin on her shoulder, bringing his face closer to hers, their breaths mingling in the cool night air.

"Does this make you nervous?" he whispered teasingly into her ear, his voice low and filled with mischief.

Arushi's cheeks turned a deeper shade of pink as she shook her head slightly. "No... just... it feels different," she murmured, her voice barely above a whisper.

Vivanth chuckled softly and tightened his hold on her. "Good," he said, placing a tender kiss on her neck. "I want to make every moment with you feel special, something you remember."

Arushi closed her eyes, letting herself melt into his embrace. The night, with all its quiet charm, wrapped them in a cocoon of love, leaving both of them lost in the warmth of each other's presence.

Vivanth and Arushi drifted into sleep on the swing, wrapped in each other's warmth. The night breeze, jasmine scent, and moonlight embraced them, bringing peaceful dreams in their quiet, shared moment.
