CHAPTER 8

Author's Pov

Next morning,

Rajveer's eyes widen as the memories of last night come flooding back. He remembers the fight, the drinking, and most importantly, the way he ended up cuddling with her all night. He groans in frustration, running a hand through his hair. "Fuck, fuck, fuck!"

Aarushi entered the room. "You're up?"

He turns to face Aarushi, his eyes darting nervously as he takes in her graceful figure draped in the emerald saree. He tries to regain his composure, "Saree?"

"Summi gave me this and helped too. Don't worry this time it won't get open because she taught me how to handle it"

He clears his throat, trying to apologize. "Aarushi, listen- about last night, I'm really sorry" He takes a deep breath, his eyes avoiding hers as he continues, "I was out of line. No excuses" He glances up at her, noting the way the saree cinches at her waist, accentuating her curves.

Rajveer's gaze lingers on Aarushi's figure a moment longer before he catches himself and looks away, clearing his throat awkwardly. He rubs the back of his neck. "Say something, will you? Yell at me, hit me, something!"

"Don't drink so much if you can't handle" She turns to leave, her saree flowing behind her.

He watches her leave, then mutters under his breath "Fuck..." Suddenly, he calls out "Wait! When are we leaving?"

She turned to face him, "Maa told us to visit the mandir before going home. We can leave after that"

He nodded. "I'll get ready" He quickly changes into his white kurta pajama given by Kunj. He joins Aarushi outside, finding her standing beside summi.

"Thank you Summi for letting us stay here" Aarushi holds Summi's hand, the affectionate gesture.

Summi smiled. "You're welcome. Just remember to always stay together. You both make a perfect pair!" Aarushi chuckled and nodded.

Kunj shifted to Rajveer's side and chuckled mischievously, patting his back. He leans in again, lowering his voice"Tonic kaam toh aaya tha na?"

[Did the tonic work?]

Rajveer gritted his teeth but forced a smile at him and nodded. 'Iski tonic ki toh' "Thank you it helped a lot"

When they both started leaving. Summi and Kunj waved at them. They waved back at them.

At Temple

"300 stairs"  Aarushi winced looking up at the stairs to reach the temple. She was about to step when Rajveer picked her securely in his arms and he started climbing the stairs.

"What are you doing?"

"It's inappropriate to let my wife climb the stairs knowing she has fast"

"I don't need your help! Keep me down!"

He shoots her a stern look, his grip on her tightening slightly as he continues to climb the stairs. "I'm helping my wife. Now be quiet and let me carry you"

She looked around at other people giggling and smiling at them. "You're embarrassing me! Let me down!"

His gaze follows hers, noticing the other couples and families laughing and taking pictures together. He looks back at Aarushi, a hint of a smirk playing on his lips. "Aren't we making such an Ideal couple?"
