Kritika opened her eyes tiredly before stretching her hand to stop the ringing alarm, she stirred slowly, her body nestled comfortably against Yuvraj's. The warmth of his arms wrapped around her, the steady rise and fall of his chest beneath her cheek, brought her a sense of peace .

Kritika blinked her eyes open, the softness of the early light making everything feel dreamlike. She turned her head slightly, her gaze falling on Yuvraj's face, peaceful in his sleep. His strong jaw, the curve of his lips, everything about him seemed softer now, less bold and mischievous than the Yuvraj she knew. And yet, even in sleep, there was something about him that made her heart race.

She let her fingers trace the line of his jaw, her touch light, as if she were afraid of waking him. But before she could pull away, Yuvraj stirred, his arms tightening around her. His eyes fluttered open, dark and warm, locking onto hers with a sleepy smile.

"Morning" he murmured, his voice low and rough with sleep, sending a pleasant shiver through her.

Kritika blushed, a soft smile playing on her lips "Good Morning"

Yuvraj grinned, his fingers gently brushing a strand of hair from her face. "So You've been watching me sleep, haven't you?" he teased, his tone light but full of affection.

Kritika's cheeks flushed deeper, and she looked away, embarrassed. "No, I was just..."

Yuvraj chuckled, cutting off her protest as he tilted her chin back toward him, forcing her to meet his gaze. "Don't lie, jaan" he whispered, his eyes twinkling with mischief. "You can't hide anything from me"

Her heart skipped a beat, her breath catching in her throat. There was something about the way he looked at her,like he could see through all her walls, all her hesitations. "Maybe I was" she admitted quietly pouting, her voice barely above a whisper.

Yuvraj's smile softened, and for a moment, the teasing was gone, replaced by something deeper. "Good" he whispered, his thumb brushing over her cheek. "Because I like waking up with you"

" You shouldn't get habitual, I'm leaving after two days, you know that right?" She said teasingly but for him it was anything but that

He looked at her for few seconds, his smile instantly fading away " jaan you shouldn't remind me that , if it was in my hands then I won't be letting you go away from me even for a second" his arms tightened around her

Kritika's heart swelled at his words, her chest tight with emotions she couldn't quite put into words. She leaned in, pressing a soft kiss to his cheeks, lingering for just a moment before pulling back. "We should get up" she whispered, though she made no move to do so.

Yuvraj groaned softly, pulling her closer, refusing to let her go just yet. "Not yet" he murmured, his lips brushing against her forehead. "Let's stay like this... just for a little while longer"

She smiled against his chest, her eyes closing as she let herself sink into the moment, feeling the steady beat of his heart beneath her. But eventually, mahi knocked on her door to get her down as they need to get ready, and they both knew they couldn't stay hidden away forever.

The palace was alive with excitement as the final preparations for the wedding were underway. The mandap was being decorated with fresh marigolds and roses, the air filled with the scent of jasmine and sandalwood. Guests moved about, some finishing last-minute tasks, others simply basking in the joy of the day.

Yuvraj came downstairs with akki by his side and by looking at their face anyone could guess yuvraj is on verge of bursting out, his eyes fall on kritika who's making mahi's hair's as she ruined them while doing some work, akki followed his eyes and grinned widely before walking to her giving yuvraj mischievous eye who shook his head before following him
