Fragments of Ruhi

Unfolding Happiness 2

RuHit decide to plan a surprise announcement for their family, aiming to make it an unforgettable moment. The couple decided to wait until Rohit's mother, Vidya's, birthday to reveal the news to the entire family. It was just a week away, and they knew it would be the perfect time to add another layer of joy to the celebration. They spent the next few days planning the surprise in secret, their excitement building with every passing hour.

The week leading up to the surprise announcement was filled with secret whispers and furtive glances as they plotted the perfect treasure hunt. They decided to make it a family affair, leaving cryptic clues around the house that would lead everyone to the grand reveal. The clues were designed to reflect moments from their relationship, with each one more memorable and meaningful than the last.

Rohit took charge of organizing the clues, while Ruhi focused on her health and managing the nausea that seemed to be a constant companion. He'd surprise her with back rubs and gentle kisses on the forehead, bringing her warm soup when she needed it and keeping her company in the quiet hours of the night when sleep was elusive. His attentiveness was a balm to her soul, a testament to his unwavering support and love.

One evening, after a particularly draining day of planning, Ruhi was curled up on the couch with a cup of juice. Rohit approached her with a mischievous twinkle in his eye, holding a small velvet pouch. "I've got something for you," he said, his voice low and filled with excitement.

Ruhi took the pouch, her curiosity piqued. She opened it to find a delicate diamond necklace, the stones sparkling in the soft light of the room. "Oh, Rohit," she gasped, her hand flying to her mouth. "It's beautiful."

He sat down beside her, placing the necklace around her neck with a gentle touch. "It's not just a gift for you," he said, his voice serious. "It's for our baby. A symbol of the love and protection we'll always provide."

Ruhi's eyes filled with tears as she felt the weight of the necklace settle against her skin. She reached up, her fingers tracing the diamond's outline. "It's perfect," she whispered, leaning into him.

For the next week, Rohit went above and beyond to ensure Ruhi felt pampered and supported. He'd wake up early to prepare her favorite breakfast, a concoction of fruits and nuts that helped settle her morning sickness. He'd read to her at night, his soothing voice lulling her to sleep when rest was hard to come by. 

The day of the surprise announcement had arrived. The Poddar and Goenka households buzzed with excitement, none wiser to the secret that Ruhi and Rohit were about to reveal. The mansion was decked out with balloons and streamers, a festive atmosphere that belied the true purpose of the gathering.

On the day of the birthday bash, the Goenka and Poddar families gathered in the grand ballroom of the poddar mansion. The room was adorned with balloons, streamers, and a lavish spread of food. The air was thick with laughter and chatter as relatives mingled and shared stories. Rohit's grandmother, Kaveri, beamed with pride as she watched her grandson mingle with the guests. She had always had a soft spot for him, and his kindness had made him the apple of her eye.

As the clock approached the moment of truth, Ruhi felt her nerves kick in. She had never been one for keeping secrets, especially from those she loved. Her hand found its way to her belly again, a silent reassurance to the little life growing within her. The anticipation was palpable, a secret shared only by her and Rohit. They had decided to announce the pregnancy after all the guests leave

Vidya, Rohit's mother, took the podium, her eyes sparkling with happiness as she talked about the past year and the blessings it had brought. She glanced over at her son and daughter-in-law, noticing the glow on their faces, but attributing it to the excitement of the party. Little did she know the life-altering revelation that was about to unfold.
