The room was dimly lit, the soft glow of candles flickering on the walls. The gentle scent of jasmine hung in the air, adding to the intimate atmosphere.
Aarohi stood near the window, her red wedding saree now replaced by a lighter, simpler outfit, but her beauty still left Vedant in awe.
Her long hair reached down her back, and the soft moonlight made her look ethereal.
Vedant entered the room, his gaze immediately finding her.
She looked nervous, her fingers fidgeting with the edge of her Saree...
He smiled softly and walked toward her, his steps slow and deliberate, not wanting to startle her.
"Aarohi," he called gently.
She turned, her eyes meeting his. They were filled with a mix of shyness and trust.
Vedant stopped a few steps away, giving her space. "You don't have to be nervous," he said, his voice soft and reassuring.
"It's just us. Tonight is about us, nothing else."
She nodded, her cheeks warming under his gaze.
"I'm not nervous," she whispered, though her voice betrayed her.
"I'm just... not used to all this."
Vedant chuckled lightly and extended his hand.
"Come here," he said, his tone filled with warmth.
Aarohi hesitated for a moment before placing her hand in his.
He pulled her closer, his other hand gently resting on her waist. Her breath hitched as she felt the heat of his touch.
"You look beautiful," he said, his voice low and sincere.
"I don't think I've told you that enough today."
Aarohi's lips curved into a shy smile. "You've said it plenty," she murmured.
He tilted her chin up, making her look into his eyes.
"Not nearly enough," he said before leaning down and brushing his lips against her forehead. The simple gesture made her a heart race.
Vedant stepped back slightly, giving her room to breathe. "I want you to feel comfortable," he said.
"We have a lifetime ahead of us, Aaru... Tonight, I just want you to know how much I care about you."
Aarohi's eyes welled up.
"You've already shown me more love than I ever thought I'd have," she whispered.
Vedant cupped her face, his thumb gently wiping away a stray tear.
"And I'll keep showing you, every single day."
He leaned in, his lips meeting hers in a soft, tender kiss. Aarohi melted into him, her arms wrapping around his neck as the world around them disappeared.
Their kiss deepened, filled with all the love, trust, and promises they had made to each other.
When they finally pulled away, Vedant scooped her up into his arms and carried her to the bed. They lay side by side, holding each other close, talking softly about their dreams and the future.
The night was calm, almost magical. The stars above seemed to sparkle brighter than ever, as if they were celebrating the beginning of something beautiful.
It was their first night, as a couple, they got married, completing all the promises they made together.
Aarohi lay still, wrapped in a sense of peace she hadn't known in years.
