After the whirlwind of wedding festivities, Khushi and Arnav prepared for their honeymoon, eager to start their journey together. They had decided to escape to a serene beach resort, a perfect getaway to relax and bond away from the chaos of their families.As they arrived at the resort, the sound of waves crashing against the shore welcomed them. Khushi gasped in delight, her eyes sparkling with excitement."It's beautiful!" she exclaimed, taking in the picturesque view of the golden sand and azure waters.Arnav smiled, watching her with adoration. "I'm glad you like it. I thought it would be a nice change from all the wedding stress."They checked into their suite, which boasted a stunning ocean view and a private balcony. Khushi rushed to the balcony, her heart racing with joy."Look at the sunset, Arnav! It's breathtaking!" she called out, her voice filled with wonder.Arnav joined her, wrapping his arms around her waist as they both leaned against the railing, watching the sky transition into a canvas of oranges, pinks, and purples."It's perfect," he murmured, resting his chin on her shoulder.That evening, they enjoyed a romantic dinner on the beach, the sound of the waves providing a soothing soundtrack to their meal.

I want us to create memories that will last a lifetime."Arnav chuckled, his heart swelling with affection. "You're a dreamer, Khushi.

My dreams, my fears, my past... everything.""And I want to share mine with you," she replied earnestly, her eyes locking onto his.They stood there, the waves crashing softly behind them, enveloped in a moment of pure connection.As they returned to their suite, the air was charged with an intimate warmth.
