After breakfast, Shruti had helped Kayal to clean up the dining table while Reyansh sneaked out into kitchen, instructing Shruti to keep Kayal distracted for a bit.
For the first few minutes, Kayal had took all the utensils and arranged them in an ascending order to be brought away while Shruti took away the table runners and wiped off any spilt food with a wet cloth. After pushing all the chairs in, Kayal picked up the pots only to be stopped by Shruti.
"Akka, don't go inside the kitchen now."
"Why? Who will bring these in there then?"
"I'll bring them for you!" Shruti offered with a smile and took it from Kayal forcibly.
"Shruti, you better not drop them! Those are expensive glass sets, okay?"
"Don't worry, Akka. Nothing will happen to your expensive glassware!" Shruti giggled as she took fast strides towards the kitchen.
Kayal was about to step into the kitchen right behind Shruti, but her husband showed up instead.
"Reyansh? I thought you were off to play video games in the playroom?"
Reyansh was about to answer her, but stopped when he noticed the word she had used for his gaming room. "Playroom?" His bottom lips were tugged in between his teeth as he developed a mischevious grin.
"Yeah, playroom."
Reyansh burst out laughing before pulling Kayal closer to himself by her waist, tugging her close until they were almost hugging. Kayal sucked in a deep breath as his fingertips brushed against her bare waist. Her head shot up to look at him.
"Dude, are you really this innocent?" He questioned her oblivious of what his mere actions were doing to her.
"Huh?" She startled, still being lost in his golden brown orbs. How has she never realized how beautiful his orbs were under direct rays of the sun.
"Do you know what playroom means?" Reyansh whispered, snapping her out of the moment.
"Yeah. The room where we play games and all" Kayal answered diligently, which sent Reyansh into a brief fits of laughter.
"What?"
"Mrs. Mehrotra, I never knew you were this innocent!"
"Reyansh, stop teasing me!"
"Well, that's what they do in playroom! So shall we turn my gameroom into our playroom?" He winked.
Gameroom. Playroom. His gameroom... Our playroom. OUR PLAYROOM?
"OUR PLAYROOM?" Kayal's jaw dropped to the ground, scandalously as realization finally hits her as to what he had meant by playroom.
"Yeap!" Reyansh giggled as he pulled her closer towards him.
