The villa had fallen silent, the storm of the day now replaced with a serene calm. Anaya and Abhimman sat together, basking in the peace they had fought so hard to reclaim. Yet, beneath the calm lay emotions they hadn't fully addressed—gratitude, love, and the unspoken need to be closer to each other.

As the cool breeze played with her hair, Anaya looked up at Abhimman, her fingers tracing the lines of his hand. His warmth was comforting, grounding her after the chaos.

"You know," she said softly, breaking the silence, "I still can't believe how much you risked for me today."

Abhimman turned to her, his eyes filled with unwavering affection. "I'd risk everything for you, Anaya. You're my world. There's nothing more important than your safety and happiness."

She smiled, a blush creeping to her cheeks. "You're too good to be true sometimes."

Abhimman chuckled, his hand cupping her cheek. "And yet, here I am. And you're stuck with me."

She leaned into his touch, her heart swelling with emotion. "I wouldn't want it any other way."

The next morning, Abhimman decided it was time for them to create a memory that wasn't tainted by the shadows of their struggles.

As Anaya walked into the living room, she found him standing by the door, car keys in hand and a mischievous smile playing on his lips.

"Get dressed," he said, his tone light yet commanding.

She raised an eyebrow. "Where are we going?"

"It's a surprise," he replied, a spark of excitement in his eyes. "But trust me, you're going to love it."

Anaya's curiosity piqued, and within half an hour, she was ready. Abhimman led her to the car, and as they drove, the tension of the past days seemed to fade with every mile. The city's hustle gradually gave way to open roads and lush greenery.

When they finally stopped, Anaya's eyes widened in wonder. Before her lay a picturesque lakeside setting, with a cozy gazebo adorned with fairy lights and a table set for two. The soft melody of violins played in the background, blending perfectly with the sound of the gentle waves.

"Abhimman," she whispered, her voice laced with awe. "This is... incredible."

He stepped closer, taking her hand in his. "You deserve nothing less, Anaya. After everything we've been through, I wanted us to have a moment just for ourselves—a moment to breathe, to be happy."

Her eyes shimmered with unshed tears, and she nodded. "It's perfect."

As the evening unfolded, the two of them indulged in laughter, heartfelt conversations, and moments of quiet intimacy. Abhimman pulled out a chair for her, pouring her a glass of sparkling juice before they started their meal.

"Do you remember the first time we met?" he asked, a teasing glint in his eyes.

Anaya chuckled. "How could I forget? You know that was very horrible getting kidnapped on your wedding day . My gosh!!

He chuckled - oh that time I had a motive Anaya only one motive revenge but now it is not it is only LOve & pure love for you anaya "

She grinned, leaning forward. "I didn't know then that beneath all that arrogance was a heart of gold. But really thank you for kidnapping me its all destiny and i thank god for this ."

His gaze softened, and he reached across the table to take her hand. "And I didn't know I'd be meeting the woman who'd turn my world upside down—in the best way possible."

Her heart fluttered at his words, and she looked away, shy yet elated. "You have a way with words, don't you?"

"Only for you," he replied smoothly, earning a playful eye roll from her.

After dinner, Abhimman took her hand and led her to the edge of the lake, where a small boat awaited them. The moonlight danced on the water, creating a magical ambiance.

"You planned all of this?" she asked, her voice filled with disbelief.

He helped her into the boat, settling in beside her. "Every detail. I wanted tonight to be unforgettable for you."

As the boat glided across the water, Anaya leaned her head against his shoulder, their hands entwined. The world around them faded, leaving only the sound of their breaths and the rhythm of their hearts.

"I feel like I'm dreaming," she murmured.

He kissed the top of her head. "Then let's never wake up."

She smiled, closing her eyes as she soaked in the moment. "You've ruined me for anyone else, Abhimman."

"Good," he replied, a teasing edge to his voice. "Because I plan to keep you forever."

---

Later that night, back at the villa, they sat together in the living room. Anaya rested her legs over his lap, her head tilted back against the couch. Abhimman traced lazy circles on her ankle, his expression content.

"Anaya," he began, his tone more serious. "I know this hasn't been easy for you—finding out the truth about Dhairya, facing everything we did today. But I need you to know, no matter what, I'll always be here for you."

She looked at him, her heart swelling with love. "I know, Abhimman. And I'm here for you, too. Always."

He leaned closer, his hand brushing against her cheek. "Promise me one thing?"

"Anything," she whispered.

"Promise me you'll never doubt how much I love you. That no matter what challenges come our way, we'll face them together."

Tears welled up in her eyes, and she nodded. "I promise."

Then he looks towards her lips and Anaya also move er heads towards him then

Their lips met in a tender kiss, sealing their vows in a way words never could. As they pulled apart, their foreheads rested against each other, a smile playing on both their lips.

"I love you, Anaya," he said softly.

"I love you too, Abhimman," she replied, her voice filled with conviction.

---

The night stretched on, and they found themselves sitting on the balcony once more, wrapped in each other's arms. The world felt right again, and for the first time in a long time, they allowed themselves to dream of a future unclouded by fear or pain.
