After Ajay leaves the study, Aryansh thinks about his words. Does he really need to talk about the past? Does it matter now? The past is past and he doesn't see any need or a reason to share that with Piya. He loves her and the thought of seeing uncertainty about him and their future in her eyes is unsettling.

He sees Piya's number flashing on the phone screen. The frown on his face turns into a smile when he answers the call. He starts going to his bedroom to leisurely talk with her.

Hi Baby, what are you doing? (Kya kar rahe hoon)

Piya's words give him a sense of belonging. He never thought that he would let anyone call him a baby. He cringed whenever he heard the people calling their partners 'baby'. That seemed childish to him. But now when she calls him baby, he feels happy and content.

It's not the word that needs a meaning but the person who calls you with that word makes the difference. Any affectionate name from the person whom you love is acceptable because it is their way of owning you.

Hello, would-be Mrs. Aryansh Shekhawat?

Piya blush on his words. She don't know what to say. It feels intimate and the realization that soon their names will join forever leaves a jittery feeling.

Aryansh

She whispered his name with love and he fell on the bed in awe. It is like she is calling him to meet her. How much he wants to drive the car towards her place and meet her. He thinks that a few months more and then they will be together for their happily ever after.

Tired? He asks

Yes baby, the whole day was tiring but all set now. 

After reaching the home from the venue in the evening, Piya gets busy in helping her family to settle the things. She can't let her mother and sister do all the work though they asked her to take rest. Aryansh didn't like Piya working as it was her function. 

He is glad that he will be handling the marriage preparations so he can make sure that she is not doing any single work. She is the bride and her only work is to sit and enjoy the wedding.

Do you want to take off tomorrow, Jaana

No, she immediately replies.

Why? You can rest tomorrow.

I don't want to, she whines.

Jaana, his voice held seriousness because he doesn't want her to get sick before the wedding.

I want to meet you so that's why I don't need an off, she tells the real reason of coming to the office.

Aryansh smiles on her reply. She doesn't want to go to the office because she wants to meet him alone. Today they didn't get any privacy to talk in alone. Someone or the other was always around them.

Okay, Jaana, I will pick you up tomorrow morning

Yep

Do you want me to meet now?, he teases her

How I wish but no, Papa will not agree, (abba nahi maanenge), she pouts in sadness.

Hmm, today we didn't get the privacy to talk. The chaperones always surrounded us. 

Piya laughs at his last comment. Chaperone? seriously? are they in medieval times.

I'm curious to know what are those names which your friends guessed

Now she banged her head on the pillow. She thought that he might forget Misha's words but it seems opposite to the case.

Aryansh was waiting for an opportunity to ask about this. 

Misha was kidding baby

Piya tries to butter him by adding more affection to her tone.

Jaana

Okay fine....

Piya shared the whole story about what exactly happened and why they thought otherwise he will not stop asking her questions. On hearing the story, Aryansh laughs and says they are crazy

Hey, they are my friends so I can only call them crazy. No one else.

Piya gets in a defensive mode. They are crazy but they are hers'.

Yes Madam

Aryansh obeys her words and after some time he says,

Listen (Suno)

Yes (Haan)

You were looking very pretty today like a ....

Like a?

An excited piya asks believing that he will say an angel or a fairy or a goddess but she doesn't guess his real words.

Like a colourful butterfly

Hein (what?)

She gets confused on his comparison. Neither an angel nor a fairy?, she murmurs but Aryansh hears her words.

You are an angel and today as a butterfly I saw your magical wings as well....

Awww, how cute lies you tell me ( kitne pyaar se jhoot bolte hoon)

Piya taunts which makes him laugh hard. They talk for some more time before hanging the call.

Once the call is cut, Aryansh sees the names which he wrote in a paper when Piya shared the story. He sends a copy to his men to get the information about those men.

*******************

The days are passing and both the families are busy with the wedding preparations. Only 20 days are left for the wedding and tonight they came for a dinner upon the insistence of Aryansh in the Shekhawat Mansion.

Everyone is sharing how things are going at their end. Aryansh and Piya silently sit beside each other with their hands joined under the dining table. Aryansh's mother noticed the silence and said.

What happened Aryansh, why are you so silent? Your fiance is sitting beside you and you are not talking, very bad

Maa

Aryansh makes an irritated face, Piya blushes and everyone laughs. 

What Maa? We all saw how you made the excuses to meet Piya till now.

One day, Sneha Shekhawat, Aryansh's mother, takes Piya for a shopping trip and they are looking for jewellery but when Piya turns her head to see something else, she finds Aryansh coming inside the boutique in a three piece business suit. She admires him not realizing that her would-be mother-in-law is saying something. Sneha notices her expressions so she turns and sees her son coming towards them.

Aryansh

Hey Maa

Aryansh gives his mother an innocent smile whereas she narrows her eyes to his act.

What are you doing here?

Maa I came to help you in shopping

Aryansh doesn't know what to say because some time back only he came to know that her mother is meeting with Piya so he decided to join them.

Help? How is my dear child? By trying jewellery? Great, lets try this one then

Sneha takes a big jewellery set and moves forward to put it around Aryansh's neck. He steps back in fear and the women laugh at his expressions.

What are you doing? Come here

Sneha moves towards him which scares him more.

Maa please

Don't you want to help me?

Maa

Aryansh pouts which his mother cannot resist. He is her baby marshmallow (Piya doesn't know about this name yet) so she leaves them alone.

Fine, I understood. I'll go and on other items, you sit with Piya.

Piya still laughs at what happened a moment back.

Aren't you laughing too much, Jaana

Piya shows her tongue and ignores his words.

How I wish to bite that, he sensuously says while looking into her eyes

Aryansh ......

Do you want me to bite your tongue?

She gets shy and turns around to see other jewelleries. Aryansh gives a signal to the salesperson to leave them alone. He comes closer and whispers in her ear while his hand holds her hand which is placed on the glass table from the other side.

I'm waiting for my answer Jaana

Piya turns her face towards him but replies while looking down his blazer

Babbyy not here...

Before Aryansh can say anything further, he hears his mother's voice and moves away.

Beta (Child) zara jagah dekhlo romance karne se pehle (please see the surroundings before you start doing romance)

His mother laughs at both of their facial expressions.

Another incident is when Aryansh comes to Sharma's house to give the items which his mother sent for Piya as a gift.

That day Piya's parents went outside and got stuck in the traffic and Siya was at her friend's place. Her parents would reach the home in 30 minutes so Aryansh is waiting for them. Piya's mother is telling her to prepare nice tea and snacks. 

Yes Maa, I'll do

Take out new china, don't use the old ones'.

Piya

Piya

Huhh, ye..yesss Maaaa I''ll do it. I'llhangthephonenow bye

ARYANSH

Aryansh is hugging Piya from the back in the kitchen when she was talking with her mother. His hands were wrapped around her stomach while his lips were nibbling her neck. Piya clutched the kitchen slab to stop herself from moaning.

She cut the call at the moment when he kissed her earlobe. She yells his name after putting the phone on the slab. Aryansh turns her face and takes her lips for a kiss without giving her a chance to scold him. 

He draws her closer while squeezing her ass and makes her sit on the kitchen slab. They kiss with love at first then it becomes more passionate. She grips his hairs and her legs are wrapped around his waist. They break the kiss when they need air to breathe. Their foreheads are joined to memorize the moment which happened sometime back.

Aryansh lifts her chin and they both stare at each other's eyes before he places his mouth on hers' again.  They kiss to express the love which they have for each other. They got this movement after a long time. His hands caressed her back and his lips moved her neck while she pulled him closer with a moan. He plays with her earlobe by nibbling and drenching it with the saliva. Their moment breaks when Piya's eyes go on to the stove where the tea overflowed.

Shitttt

What

Piya pushes him away and quickly off the stove. She starts cleaning it.

Mumma will kill me

Jaana

Go and sit in the living room, I have to clean this

She orders him to leave the kitchen but her stubborn baby comes and hugs from behind. She ignores him and does her work while he simply holds her close and hears her murmuring how her mother will not spare her for spoiling the kitchen.

Don't worry, I'll tell your Maa that I had the tea which you made very good

Piya stops doing her work and turns her face towards him.

Will you do that

Yeahh

Thank You soo much

She hugs him in happiness because her parents will reach anytime and the tea gets wasted so if she starts making now then she will get the scolding from her mother.

Shhh

Aryansh caresses her hair with a smile.  Soon they heard a doorbell and understood that her parents came.  Aryansh goes to open the door whereas Piya takes the empty cups and puts them in the sink in case her mother asks.  Aryansh leaves the Sharma house after some time.
