The party lights and lamps  bathed the house in a warm, golden hue, as the sounds of bustling wedding preparations filled the house. Dhruv , with a checklist in hand and a determined look moved about ensuring every detail was in place. The wedding of Vidathri and Vijay was just an hour away  and as the only family Vidathri had, Dhruv and Ishanvi were dedicated to make sure everything was perfect.

Vidathri met Vijay at a business meeting and they became extremely close after coming across each other multiple times. Their friendship eventually turned into something more than that and a special bond got created. After 2 years if knowing eachother they decided to tie knot in a simple ceremony. Dhruv and Ishanvi are more than happy for Vidathri as she is taking an another step in her life. 

.......

Dhruv he passed by their bedroom couldn't resist the urge to peek in.  As Vidathri insisted them a lot they are staying at her place. Ishanvi didn't feel like leaving Vidathri alone after Dhruv returned. She thought that it isn't appropriate to do so. She convinced dhruv to that they should stay along vidathri and be there for her. Dhruv agreed reluctantly and continued to be Vidathri's CSO. He took voluntary Retirement from his job as a Secret agent but kept on training the upcoming candidates. 

As Dhruv opened the door he saw Ishanvi who is struggling with the intricate draping of her saree. Her fingers fumbled with the fabric, and a few loose ends trailed awkwardly. She seemed to be annoyed. His eyes scanned her body and She saw him through the mirror.

Dhruv : Need some help ?

Dhruv asked by  stepping into the room with a mischievous grin. He closed the door and locked it.

Ishanvi looked up with  her eyes sparkling with both relief and mischief. 

Ishanvi : I am glad that I could use an extra pair of hands

she replied with a teasing smile.

Dhruv moved closer as his hands are skill-fully  working on the saree by adjusting the pleats and ensuring the drape fell gracefully. The closeness of their bodies and the soft brush of his hands against her skin sent a jolt of electricity through both of them.

Dhruv : You look beautiful, you know ! 

Dhruv murmured .  his voice is low and husky. He leaned in and placed a gentle kiss on Ishanvi's neck . his lips lingered just a moment longer than necessary. Ishanvi felt goosebumps arising all over her body. 

Ishanvi blushed with a playful glint in her eyes. 

Ishanvi : Flattery will get you everywhere.

she said and her tone is light but full of warmth.

Dhruv's fingers traced the curve of her waist as he adjusted the final pleats. His touch was tender and as he finished, he couldn't help but let his lips graze hers in a soft, affectionate kiss.

Before the kiss could deepen, Ishanvi pulled back with a laugh. 

Ishanvi : We have a wedding to attend in less than an hour. Let's not keep the guests waiting. We are the brides family ! 

Dhruv smiled and his eyes are twinkling with love and mischief. 

Dhruv : You're right. Let's go make sure everything is perfect. Later i'll do my work.

Ishanvi : I hate that moustache of yours. It's poking me.

Dhruv : Aren't you the one who persuaded me to grow my moustache ? 

Ishanvi : yeah ! You are looking like a King with that moustache. 

Ishanvi pulled his moustache and he Winced. She kissed him hardly and as he wrapped his hands around her waist she pushed him away. He landed on the bed.
