Life is indeed a thing of beauty, especially when you have someone who loves you deeply and unconditionally. In the case of Ruhana Raichand, her life could be described as nothing short of bliss, akin to a slice of heaven. A prominent figure in the world of fashion, Ruhana has found herself blessed with the love of Vineet Raichand, a renowned business tycoon whose empire extends not only across India but also overseas.

Ruhana and Vineet are a deeply enamoured couple, and they take every opportunity to express their affection for one another. Vineet's romantic nature often leads him to become so engrossed in their connection that he occasionally loses sight of the world around them. On the other hand, Ruhana revels in the intimate moments shared exclusively between them, relishing the absence of prying ears. Each of them possesses their own unique interpretation of love, but what truly sets them apart is their profound understanding of one another.

While Vineet may occasionally become preoccupied with his own desires, he unfailingly respects Ruhana's choices and decisions. This mutual respect and consideration are the cornerstones of their flourishing love story, painting a beautiful portrait of a relationship that continues to bloom in all its splendor.

Today, the atmosphere at the Raichand residence is brimming with joy and liveliness. Ruhana can be found bustling about in the kitchen, orchestrating a grand feast. Her husband is returning home after a week-long trip to Bangalore, and this homecoming gives her ample reason to celebrate. It's not that she cannot find reasons to celebrate in his absence, but the prospect of having him back, close to her, fills her heart with a profound sense of love and wholeness. Occasionally, she finds herself reflecting on her life before she crossed paths with Vineet and their journey into marriage began. Before their marriage, they both led independent lives, but now that they are wedded, they find it difficult to be apart from each other.

Ruhana is filled with joy at his return. Having completed the meal preparations, she now eagerly anticipates Vineet's arrival. She meticulously arranges the living space, infusing it with the delightful scent of aromatic mists. Additionally, she has taken the time to adorn the bedroom in a welcoming manner. At this moment, all she yearns for is his presence, longing to feel his warm embrace. It's what she has missed during his absence over the past seven days.

*****
After an hour, the doorbell chimes, prompting Ruhana to hurry to the door. With a beaming smile, she opens it, finding him standing there. She graciously steps aside, allowing him to enter their home. He places his suitcase aside and immediately engulfs her in a warm embrace. In his arms, she feels herself melt, the intensity of her longing for him evident. Now that he's so close, her heart is filled with happiness, and she can barely contain her excitement.

"I've missed you so much, Vineet!" She remains in his embrace.

"Believe me, Ruhana, I missed you too. But you know, the deal is finally sealed. We'll be opening a branch of our business in Bangalore soon," he says, gently ending the hug and admiring her lovely face.

"Oh, that's fantastic, Vineet. I'm well aware of the immense effort you put into securing that deal. I'm genuinely thrilled that it's worked out," Ruhana replies as she guides him to sit on the couch.

"Ruhana, your support was invaluable, and I couldn't have achieved this without you. Thank you so much," Vineet conveyed his gratitude towards his wife.

"Darling, I'm always by your side, and I'm a part of all your endeavours. I'm overjoyed that you were able to successfully seal the deal," Ruhana expressed her happiness at his achievement.

He smiles; he’s always amused at her happiness when things revolve around him. She’s always happy when he’s around her and he knows it. He decides to ask her this question today. He watches her as she brings two mugs of steaming coffee as he likes. She puts a bowl of roasted makhanas and peanuts before him. He’s still staring at her as she settles beside him. She glances at him quizzically, feeling his stare at herself.

“What happened? What are you staring at?” She asks, though she knows his intentions.

“ Who else would I focus on, except for you? Tell me something, why do you seem happier when I achieve something? Your level of excitement is different when it's related to me. Why is that?" he asks.

“Because you’re my focus. Jab tum kuch achieve karte ho, jab tum khush hote ho na, toh meri khushi doguni ho jaati hain, Vineet. Aur jab tum mere sath hote ho, jab meri khushi mein tum khush hote ho na, aisa lagta hain jaise maine jannat hi paa li hain.” She expresses her feelings, and her husband is in awe.

“Phir bhi, Ruhana! Itni khushi, itna bharosa? Do you think I will be able to pull over your confidence?” He asks genuinely.

“Yes, Vineet. No one would be able to do it better than you. Main tum par apne aap se zyada bharosa karti hoon, aur main jaanti hoon, you won’t let me down.” Ruhana explains while looking at her beloved husband.

“I won’t, I promise. But, I am hungry.” He says it innocently, and she giggles.

She suggests he freshen up, while she takes charge of setting the table for lunch. Twenty minutes pass, and Vineet and Ruhana prepare to enjoy their meal. Vineet is pleasantly surprised to find all his favourite dishes laid out before him, creating a veritable feast. Ruhana is delighted to witness his happiness, and she herself appears content. Meanwhile, Vineet also has a surprise in store for his beloved, but for now, he decides to savour the delicious meal and save his surprise for later.

*****
After a while, they complete their lunch and make their way to the bedroom to relax. Ruhana nestles up to her husband, finding solace in his presence, and she drifts off to sleep quickly. Vineet lovingly gazes at his wife for a moment before succumbing to slumber, holding her securely in his embrace.

Several hours elapse. Ruhana awakens from her nap and discovers Vineet looking at her affectionately. She cuddles up to him and plants a gentle kiss on his cheek, catching him off guard. He's dressed in a white shirt and pink trousers, and she is clueless of his intentions. Sitting up, she gazes at him, while he places a package in her hand. He urges her to get ready, leaving her bewildered.

"Ruuu, don't inquire too much. Just get ready, alright?" he instructs.

“But why? Mujhe kahin nahi jaana. Mujhe tumhare sath ghar pe hi rehna hain.” Ruhana requests.

“Ruu, please, get ready! I have some surprises for you.” Vineet requests.

“Tum hi mera sabse bada surprise ho, Vineet. Tum ghar laut aaye ho na, it’s time to cuddle in bed and watch some movie.” She says, leaning onto him.

“Lekin mujhe bhi tumhare liye kuch karna hai. Aur itne dinon se tum kahin gayi bhi nahi hogi. You were so busy at work. So, we will go out now. We’ll have dinner at our favourite place.” He says this, cheering her up.

“Vinu, what’s on your mind?” She asks, taking his nickname.

“Something, my love. I am sure, you’re going to love it. Ab jaao na, ready ho jao.” He gives her a slight push.

Ruhana is aware that Vineet has something on his mind, but he's keeping his plan a secret. Nevertheless, she doesn't want to let him down. It's become a tradition that whenever he returns from a trip, he always takes her out for dinner, and they walk hand in hand, often winding up on the beach. Conversely, when Ruhana has work commitments or is away, she makes sure to welcome him home with homemade treats. This is the rhythm of their life together.

Ruhana understands that when Vineet requests something, it's best to oblige, lest he become upset. She playfully plants a kiss on his cheek and scurries into the bathroom, leaving him in a daze. He smiles at her, urging her to be quick.

It appears that he has something special in store.
*****
A little while later, Ruhana emerges from the dressing room, dressed in a form-fitting, off-shoulder golden gown. Vineet is left speechless as he gazes at her. Her natural beauty shines through, and the subtle makeup she's applied only enhances her beauty further. He holds her hand and complements her, causing her to blush.

“You look pretty, my love.” He says it softly.

“Ah! Find some new words, my love. Ye bahut purana dialogue hai. Mujhe pata hai ki main bahut pretty hoon. Isliye toh log mujhe showstopper banane ke offers dete hai. But I kept it for you sole-ly.” Ruhana says playfully, winking at him.

“Is that so? Then, let me be the showstopper tonight!” He says it rather naughtily, hinting at what’s on his mind.

“Yeah, that you are! Acha batao, hum kahan jaa rahe hain?” Ruhana asks, holding his hand.

“No, I’m not telling you that. Come on, let’s go! We’re getting late.” He says.

Ruhana poses her question once more, yet Vineet silences her with a hush and guides her along, prompting her to collect her phone and purse as they exit the house. At this moment, Ruhana remains in the dark about the situation but chooses to cooperate, eagerly awaiting the surprise that he has secretly planned, allowing Vineet to reveal it to her.

*****
One hour later, Vineet brings the car to a halt, and Ruhana's face lights up with joy when she realizes they've arrived at Aksa Beach. A soft chuckle escapes her lips as the refreshing sea breeze caresses her face. She turns to Vineet, expressing her gratitude. After parking the car, he invites her to step out and guides her toward their destination—the resort. Ruhana's eyes widen with amazement when she spots the resort's sign.

Inside the resort, Vineet approaches the reception desk and obtains a key, leaving Ruhana curious but intrigued. They come to a halt in front of a charming cottage, and Ruhana is captivated by its beauty.

He hands her the key, and as they step inside, Ruhana can't help but laugh and twirl around in delight, taking in the cottage's cozy living room and well-equipped kitchen. A few paces away, there's a bedroom. Ruhana draws back the curtains, revealing a balcony, and her excitement knows no bounds. She rushes onto the balcony and is greeted by a breathtaking view that leaves her utterly spellbound. From this vantage point, she can see Aksa Beach, and her joy erupts in a delighted scream. She spins around and discovers Vineet standing at the balcony door, adoring her. Overwhelmed with happiness, she leaps into his arms, embracing him tightly. Throughout this enchanting moment, Vineet is elated as he witnesses Ruhana's sheer happiness.

*****
Ruhana's heart swells with joy, her radiant happiness painting a vivid expression across her face. Overwhelmed by this surge of emotion, she moves closer to her beloved husband, wrapping her arms around him in a tight and affectionate embrace. He responds by embracing her in his arms.

Their embrace lingers in time, an unspoken testament to the depth of their connection. Moments pass like an eternity until Ruhana gently parts from the embrace. Her eyes, filled with love, trail over his captivating visage, every line and contour etched with the memories they've created together.

For a brief, electrifying moment, they lock their gaze, a shared understanding passing between them without words. Slowly, their lips meet in a profound, lingering kiss, filled with pure love.

After a few minutes of an intense and passionate kiss, they reluctantly part, both gasping for breath. Ruhana's cheeks flush with a bashful hue as she gently withdraws from his proximity. Despite the fact that three years have passed since they tied the knot, she still finds herself blushing and feeling shy whenever they share such intimate moments. It's a familiar sensation, yet it always manages to feel refreshingly new, like an evergreen reminder of the completeness she experiences when they are close.
*****
Ruhana shares another heartfelt hug with Vineet, who warmly embraces her once more. In these moments, he recognizes just how much they mean to Ruhana, as she finds solace in his comforting presence. With him by her side, she always feels liberated from the weight of life's troubles and stresses. Her unwavering faith in him is a source of great strength, knowing that he will shield her from any potential harm. They stay locked in that affectionate embrace for an extended period, until Ruhana eventually breaks the hug and gently places a tender kiss on his lips.

Vineet is taken aback by her unexpected gesture, and she responds with a playful giggle before darting away. His surprise lingers, stoking his desire for her. She darts out to the balcony, twirling in a joyous display of her happiness, a ritual only he seems capable of eliciting. She steals a glance at him, finding him still leaning against the doorframe, captivated by her radiance. Drawing him closer, she places a tender kiss on his cheek.

"You know, you're incredible. Thank you, Vineet! This is the most beautiful surprise," she expresses her gratitude.

"No, you're more beautiful than all of this," he counters, causing her cheeks to blush.

She tries to shy away, but he gently guides her to look at him, and then, with a slow, deliberate motion, he claims her lips with his own. Their mouths meet in a sweet, lingering kiss.

He deepens the kiss, exploring every crevice of her mouth; the only sounds in the room are the whispers of their lips and the rapid rhythm of their heartbeats. In her husband's embrace, Ruhana always succumbs to his advances, allowing him to take the lead. Today is not an extraordinary day, yet their sweet kiss ignites into a passionate one, and they only break apart when their breath is stolen away.

*****

As they parted from their kiss, Ruhana's cheeks took on a rosy hue. She averted her gaze while he gazed at her in wonder. Their relationship resembled a blossoming rose, allowing room for each other's individuality. Their intimacy felt as passionate as their very first time. She blushed at his nearness, and they always strived to keep their love forever fresh and vibrant. A quiet interlude lingers between them, lasting for a brief moment. It is Vineet who eventually breaks the silence, suggesting they head out for dinner, and she readily concurs.

*****
After Ruhana and Vineet freshen up, they make their way to the restaurant for dinner. The resort boasts a charming restaurant designed in the shape of a cottage. Inside, the dining area is divided into cozy sections that resemble rooms, and the tables and chairs are adorned with tasteful decor. Ruhana is captivated by the picturesque scenery and can't help but hold her face in amazement.

“This is so beautiful! Maine kabhi nahi socha tha ki aisi bhi koi jagah hogi. Hand paintings bhi hai yahan pe.” She chuckles.

“I told you, you will love it! Tum hi mana kar rahi thi.” Vineet replies teasingly while settling a strand of her hair behind her ear.

“Mujhe nahi pata tha na ki tum mujhe yahan leke aane wale ho. Aur vaise bhi mere liye tumse zaroori kuch bhi nahi hai.”She says it while looking into his eyes.

“Aur mere liye tum khaas ho. Par pehle kuch khaayein, bahut bhook lagi hai.” He says it innocently, causing her to giggle.

They enter the restaurant, their fingers intertwined, anticipating that this will be the ideal escape they require to relax and escape from their demanding daily routines.

*****
Several hours slip away. Following their dinner, Vineet and Ruhana take a leisurely stroll through the resort's gardens. The gentle breeze and the scent of the ocean and earth, thanks to the resort's beachside location, offer a soothing balm to their souls. The gardens are devoid of other guests, allowing Ruhana to twirl in delight, reveling in the tranquility of the environment. Her contentment is further fueled by Vineet's companionship. She doesn't ask for much, finding joy in his presence and shared moments. Vineet, in turn, admires her, recognizing the childlike enthusiasm that has awakened within her. As she turns to him, she expresses their plan to head to the beach first thing in the morning, and he eagerly agrees to fulfil her wish.

They return to their cottage, and Vineet locks the door. Ruhana runs into the washroom to change into her night dress. He patiently waits for her to come out, and in the meantime, he puts some milk and water to boil in the small kitchenette of their room. She comes out of the bathroom and asks him to change as well. He watches her move onto the balcony. A few minutes later, he stands beside her, offering a mug of coffee. She is surprised but takes the mug with a smile. They stand there for several minutes until she shifts close to him and rests her head on his shoulder. He pecks a kiss on top of her head and she smiles.

“Vineet, tumhe yaad hai tumne mujhse pucha tha ki aakhir maine tumhe kyun chuna?” She asks and looks at him while nods his head positively.

“Tum hamesha mere baare mein sochte ho, Vineet. Haan, aaj se 3 saal pehle itna naam nahi tha tumhara, hamari shadi ke baad tumne, humne hamare business ko aage badhaya. Mere shows ke liye tumne finance kia, tabhi toh hum yahan hai. Lekin tab bhi Vineet, main tumhare sath khush rehti, Papa ke dost ke bete ke sath nahi. Tum kisi bhi situation mein mere chehre pe smile le aate ho, tumhe pata hai ki mujhe kya pasand hai aur kya nahi, isluye maine tumhe chuna. Har mushkil mein, har khushi mein tumne mera saath diya hai, Vineet. I am glad to have you.” She says it, gazing at him.

“And you’re the best gift I could ever have. Dekho na, aaj hi tum laute ho aur hum yahan hai, koi aur hota toh sirf apne baare mein sochta. Isliye thank you, mujhse itna pyaar karne ke liye” She says.

He grins, sharing the same deep affection for her, knowing they are a perfect match. Her gaze is fixed on him, and in an instant, she rises on her toes, planting a gentle kiss on his lips, gradually deepening it. He's taken aback at first, but soon reciprocates her affection. She wraps her arms around his neck, and he holds her firmly by the waist.

They break the kiss after a while and he wastes no chances and lifts her in his arms, heading back into the bedroom. She’s astounded a little but in a jiffy, he turns on the television on the room and she could see herself on the television. It’s the clippings from their courtship until present. Ruhana is in awe, he did it all without letting her know. The background music is a compilation of her favourite songs. Ruhana’s eyes are fixated on the TV, while Vineet hugs her, placing his chin on her shoulder.

“Surprised?” He asks.

“This is amazing, love. Ye sab tumne kab kia?” She asks him.

“Jab tum mere liye bina kahe itna kuch kar deti ho, toh main kyun nahi ? I just wanted to surprise you, my love.” He says this, planting a kiss on her neck.

She shivers slightly but then turns to encircle him in her arms, her unique way of conveying her appreciation. However, before long, the chilly climate and their desires begin to affect them. They release their embrace, and he leans in to kiss her once more, engaging in a kiss filled with love and passion. While they kiss, he gently guides her onto the bed, lying over her. She wriggles beneath his weight, lost in the moment.

He leaves her lips but proceeds to place tender kisses all over her face, gradually making his way down to her neck. His sensual caresses ignite her desire for more.

Trailing down further, he skillfully undresses her, removing her maxi dress. She sits on the bed, unbuttoning her shirt, all the while inhaling the captivating scent of his cologne. She's already highly aroused, and in a matter of seconds, his hands begin to glide along her curves, intensifying her craving. He lays her down on the bed and gently spreads her legs, using his fingers to caress her most intimate area.

A single stroke prompts her to moan his name, growing impatient as he takes his time. Bending over her, he places a delicate kiss on her soft vulva, evoking another passionate moan. She arches her back, drawing herself closer to him. He smiles at her response and skillfully stimulates her with his mouth, sending shivers down her spine. Overwhelmed by his actions, she's unable to contain herself, and he continues to pleasure her with his tongue, intermittently focusing on her sensitive pearl.

He withdraws as she loudly moans his name, reaching her first climax of the night. In an instant, the roles reverse, and she turns him around, ready to savor him. She kisses his chest and moves down to his intimate area. She takes hold of it and kisses the tip, eliciting a deep groan from him. He grasps a handful of her hair, guiding himself into her mouth, causing her to cough momentarily. She continues at her own measured pace, gradually increasing her speed. His moans are pushing her to the brink, and her grip on his arousal is firm.

They separate, with her breathless and panting heavily. As she attempts to regain her composure, Vineet tenderly kisses her forehead and lips to help her calm down, and she responds with passion. In the next few moments, they once again entwine in each other's arms, and all that can be heard are their passionate moans as they engage in lovemaking, with him on top of her. After both reach their climaxes, he lies beside her. She gazes at him affectionately, the lingering scent of their lovemaking still in the air. Turning towards him, she gently kisses his lips.

She expresses her gratitude for this intimate and love-filled retreat. He says nothing, simply embracing her in his arms as they drift into sleep.

Life is beautiful when you find true love and companionship. It’s all about love.
