Abhimaan entered his room. He saw Ruhanika sitting in front of the mirror, it felt like a light sparkled in his dark room. Soon, he noticed her struggling with hair pins. He slowly walked to her and held her hand which was busy pulling the pins.

Ruhanika got startled with his sudden touch. She looked at him through the mirror when he slowly pulled the pin out. Abhimaan looked at her and said "Let me do it otherwise you will surely tangle it, just a few more". Ruhanika just nodded to it.

After around 15 mins all the hair clips were removed. Ruhanika's long, silky wavy hairs covered her back. She started braiding them. Abhimaan was mesmerized by her hair. The sweet Jasmine fragrance hit his nostrils and unknowingly a smile formed on his face. Ruhanika got up and turned to him "umm... thank you...Mai change krke aati hun". Abhimaan nodded and continued "Tum andar closet me change kr lo Mai guestroom me kr leta hun". Ruhanika nodded and took her clothes and entered the closet.

Ruhanika's pov:

Ohh goowwdd... Mai kya kru...Aaj hmari suhagrat h...what if he wants to do something...no no no...I will not do it..but what will I say.....ughhhh kitna awkward h🫠😩....

Author's pov:

Thinking all this Ruhanika changed into a simple night suit. She came outside the closet and found no one in the room. Then she heard Abhimaan's voice and found him talking to someone on the phone in the balcony. He sounded harsh as if scolding someone. But Ruhanika neglected it and started arranging her essentials in the closet.

Abhimaan came after a few minutes and said " If you feel uncomfortable then I can sleep on the couch." Ruhanika turned and looked at the bed. Although she wasn't sure but she said "No no ...you can sleep on the bed..it's fine". Abhimaan just hummed in response.

Abhimaan laid on bed, soon Ruhanika joined him. Abhimaan turned off the lights. Both were tired and sleepy. But had a giddy feeling. Ruhanika was happy that he didn't do anything, and preferred sleeping. Abhimaan was somewhere liking her presence. He wanted to be close to her, but not too fast. However, sleeping on the same bed was a little awkward for them. But owing to the tiredness soon they drifted in their dreamlands thinking about each other.

The next day, Ruhanika's sleep got disturbed with the sound of alarm. She quickly got up and dismissed the alarm making sure not to wake abhimaan up. She then turned to see if he was still sleeping.

Ruhanika got mesmerized after seeing him. His slightly curled hairs on his forehead, his mouth half opened, the suttle beard, pointed nose, his neck, his addam's apple. Ruhanika smiled looking at him. His face looked peaceful now. This was the first time she was looking at him from this close. She just sat and looked at his features. He surely was a giant. A lot bigger than her. His hand could wrap around her waist twice easily. She blushed thinking about him.

Soon realisation hit her that it's her first day in her sasural. Her first rasoi as well. So she hurriedly took out a saare from the closet. And moved to the washroom.

Ruhanika was ready in a beautiful saare. Red saare, open hari, simple yet elegant mangalsutra, her hands cladded with chooda, beautiful anklets. The room echoed with the sound of her ankle bells as she walked to the mirror. She completed her look with a simple bindi and red lipstick. As she was about to apply sindoor, a hand came and stopped her.

Abhimaan's pov:

My sleep got disturbed by some melodious sound. I turned to see the most beautiful morning of my life. Hayeee...Ruhanika looks breathtaking in this saare. The red colour compliments her fair skin. She has made a bun. But she looks good with open hair. Some fringes are falling on her face. She was about to apply sindoor but I got up immediately and held her hand. She looked at me confusingly.

Author's pov:

"Wo..uh...can I?" Abhimaan asked licking his lips in nervousness, pointing towards the sindoor. Ruhanika was lost in his face. She nodded unconsciously.
