1. Midnight Confessions
The house was silent as they sat across each other on the rooftop terrace, the warm breeze carrying the scent of blooming jasmine. Saanvi wrapped her shawl tighter around her shoulders, looking away as she confessed a small fear.Without a word, Devansh reached over and took her hand, pulling her closer until her head rested against his chest.
"You don't have to be strong all the time, Saanvi," he whispered against her hair, his hand resting on her back. "Lean on me, just this once."
In that quiet moment, with the world sleeping around them, it felt like the first promise of a lifetime they had yet to build.
2. Unplanned Tenderness
One evening, Saanvi was cooking, humming softly to herself. Devansh entered quietly, watching her with an amused smile. She glanced up, her cheeks flushing under his intense gaze."Let me help," he said, surprising her by stepping behind her, his arms reaching around to chop the vegetables she'd been working on.
Their movements fell into an easy rhythm, and when she shifted to reach a bowl, her hand accidentally brushed his. She stilled, feeling her pulse quicken. His hand remained on hers, and he leaned in, his voice low against her ear.
"I could get used to this," he murmured, his lips grazing her temple. Saanvi blushed, feeling both warmth and peace as if they had known each other far longer than they had.
3. Soft Moments of Laughter
One lazy Sunday, they were sitting on the living room floor, playing with Saira, who insisted her "Mumma and Papa" be part of her tea party. Saanvi lifted a teacup with exaggerated poise, earning a laugh from Devansh that was deeper and more real than she'd ever heard.Seeing him so carefree made her smile. "You know, for a ruthless CEO, you're terrible at keeping a straight face," she teased.
He chuckled, leaning in with a mischievous glint in his eye. "Only because you bring out a side of me I'm still getting to know, Mrs. Choudhary."
Her heart fluttered as he stole a quick kiss before Saira tugged on their arms, demanding they return to their tea party.
4. An Unexpected Dance
One evening, after a long day, Saanvi found Devansh at his desk, the stress of the day visible in his eyes. Without a word, she put on a slow, soft melody and extended her hand toward him.Surprised, he raised an eyebrow but took her hand, letting her lead him into the living room. They swayed to the music, her head resting on his shoulder, the world fading around them.
"Who knew Mr. Choudhary could be this charming?" she teased, smiling up at him.
"Only for you," he replied softly, brushing a strand of hair from her face.
For the first time, they let the world fall away, focusing only on each other as the song faded, leaving only the silent promise of more moments like this.
