Author's pov:

Abhimaan gave the order and few minutes later the food arrived. Both had their dinner while chit chatting about random things. Then they came out and got in the car.

"Are we going home?" Asked Ruhanika.

"Do you want you?"

"Ummhmm" she nodded in no with a small smile as abhimaan slipped his hands into hers, interwined them and kept it on the transmission lever in order to change gears.

After some minutes abhimaan stopped the car in front of a house. He got down and went to Ruhanika's side and opened the door giving his hand. Ruhanika smiled and kept her hand in his and got down. After locking the car they moved to the house. It was more like a penthouse. Both entered and abhimaan switched on the lights.

The place was small but cozy. Ruhanika started observing the house, she saw balcony and stood there. The whole mighty sea was spread across. Many fireflies were flying around. The peaceful sound of water below the dark sky. The moon was adding a charm to the background.

Abhimaan came from behind and hugged her. He placed his hand on her waist and his chin on the shoulder. Ruhanika smiled and placed one of her hand over Abhimaan's hand and one cupped his face. She enhaled a deep breath.

"Thank you so much abhimaan for bringing me here. This was my first date and it was the best" she exclaimed happily.

Abhimaan smiled and replied "it's your first date but not last, my babygirl"

Ruhanika's cheek heated up on hearing babygirl from him. She blushed. Abhimaan pecked her cheek and turned her towards him.

"What have you done to me rooh? I was just a normal man who worked his ass off. Who didn't wanted to go home. Who wanted no offs. Who ate alone. But now I want to come home to be with you, to talk with you, to feel you. I want to complete all my work so that I can have time for you.... I always loved my family. But other than atharv, Vanshika, dadu and dadi I cared for no one...not even myself. I...I.. love them but I am unable to express myself in front of them. I am never rude to them, not seriously. I always had them...But I felt lonely...rooh you know....i never got the love of my mother...not even my father......I had a lonely life rooh... despite having everything and everyone. I felt as if I am missing a part of me...no one wanted me ..ever...my past is very dark rooh...and that is the reason I never had anyone...

But..but jb se tum aayi ho...wo..wo.. Khali jgh jaise bhar so gyi h...Mai ab akela mehsus nai krta...when u caress my hair it gives me a motherly feel. Man krta h bs tumse baat krta rahun...bs tumhare saath rahun...tumhe hug krke rahun...it gives me peace rooh...you give me peace...I...I...feel that you are filling those missing gaps rooh....thank you for coming in my life rooh... thank you for accepting me..." he said with tears in his eyes. He was looking down.

Ruhanika cupped his cheek and made him look at her. She looked at him with tear filled eyes "abhimaan...I am lucky to have a person like you...jaise aap mujhe smjhte h...meri baaten sunte h...mujhe respect dete h...meri care krte h...I feel special...I feel complete... Aur mai hmesha rahungi aapke paas...I will do anything to make you happy....aur aapko kuch express krne ki zarurat nai h...aapki aankhe kafi kuch keh jati h Mr. Yaduvanshi... And who said nobody wants you? I want you abhimaan ji...I need you" she said smiling.

"Mrs. Ruhanika Abhimaan yaduvanshi....I think...I like you." Said Abhimaan looking at her being nervous as hell.

Ruhanika waited for few seconds, looked down. Then hugged him hiding her blushing face not before mumbling "I think...I like you too..".

Abhimaan wrapped his arms around her and smiled. He closed his eyes feeling her against his chest feeling content.

Ruhanika's pov:

I like abhimaan ji...but Aaj jaise wo sbkuch bta rhe the...it did not felt right ..he looked broken...I have to mend him...I have to be his strength...he thinks so bad about himself...and that is not true... I have to make him comfortable enough to share his past.. unki baaton se pta chalta h unhone kitna kuch jhela h...Under the cover of a bulky man he is still an innocent child...I have to give him love and surity that will heal him...heal his inner child.

Author's pov:

Soon they both changed, and got on the bed, wished eachother good night and slept (not really).

Abhimaan's pov:

I thought about a simple date night..with dinner and some talk...I already informed vanshika and atharv not to disturb us and we will stay out at night...they handled dadu dadi also....making sure no one says something that would make her uncomfortable... when i hugged her in front of the beach i don't know why but I just felt like speaking and blabbered everything in front of her...but she said she likes me too...she is ready to accept me...she wants me...that means feelings are mutual on both sides...maybe dadu said right .. WE CAN BE PERFECT FOR EACHOTHER... maybe... I don't know...but...yes...i will try to be perfect for her....she is a pure soul...she deserves happiness...i will give it to her...

Author's pov:

Thinking all this abhimaan got sleepy. He looked at Ruhanika and smiled. He slowly got close to Ruhanika. Ruhanika was sleeping sideways facing the beach. Abhimaan got close to her and slowly snaked his arm around her. His hand felt warm. Goosebumps erupted on ruhanika's body. Guess what...she was awake!

Ruhanika smiled and kept her hand on Abhimaan's hand. At this point Abhimaan's breath hitched. She was awake. He exhaled a shaky breath. His body tightened. Ruhanika smiled feeling this. She slowly interlocked thier hands and pulled it up, placing it near her chest. Kissed his hand and said sleep. Abhimaan smiled too, (actually grinned like a lovesick puppy). He too mumbled good night and slept.
