"And that is it" Ishaan says as he puts the last box on the kitchen counter. It had been a week since Aarohi and Shreyas's wedding. His parents went back to their family home and Aarohi was shifting with Shreyas in his Mumbai apartment. 

"Chalo, yeh kaam to hua" Kirti says as she sits on the sofa tiredly. 

"Agar tera abhi yeh haal hai to apni shaadi ke time kya hoga?" Aarohi teases making Kirti throw a pillow at her.

"Chal, aaru tera saaman unpack karna hai" She says as she drags Aarohi and Kirti to the room beside Shreyas's.

"Hum thodi der walk per jaa rahe hai" Shreyas shouts from the living room as the boys get up.

"Alright!" Aarohi shouts back from the room.

She turns to look at her friends who wore smirks on their faces.

"What?" She asks

"So domestic" Kirti says dramatically.

"Ab bas karo kaam bhi karna hai" Aarohi says though the blush on her face was evident.

"Guys?" Bhavika says

"Haan bol"

"I have a date with Shubman this saturday" She  reveals making Aarohi drop the top she was holding whereas Kirti choked on her water.

"Tu aur shubman-" Aarohi says

"Ek saath-" Kirti continues

"Date pe?" Aarohi finishes.

"Haan" Bhavika replies with a nervous smile.

"This is great!" Kirti squeals 

"Tum kaha jaa rahe ho?" Aarohi asks

"I don't know, bas usne text kia tha ki 12pm mujhe pick karega aur I should either carry a stall with me or wear a suit, whatever I am comfortable in" Bhavika says with a shrug.

"Bro mein to unpack karti rahungi abhi ke liye we need to pick something for you to wear" Aarohi says making Kirti nod and Bhavika squeal.

This way the girls spent next 2 hours simply sitting and deciding what Bhavika has to wear.

"Hum aa gaye!" Shreyas says with a packet in his hand.

"Tumhe zyada time nhi lag gaya?" Kirti asks 

"Aur woh kya hai?" Aarohi says

"Hum dinner lekar aaya. Ab cook kon karta?" Rishabh says 

"Help me unpack?" Shreyas asks Aarohi. She smiles and nods, following him in the kitchen.

"Are we sure ki yeh khane ko hi unpack kar rahe hai?" Ishaan says with a smirk making everyone in the room laugh.

It was night time and everyone had gone home. Aarohi was in the kitchen cleaning up when Ishaan came.

She passed him a smile making him smile back.

"Let me help you" He says as she starts washing the dishes.

"Do you know Shubman and Bhavika are going on a date?" Aarohi says making Shreyas look at her with shock. The plate he was holding fell down but he quickly caught it mid air.

"Nice reflexes" She teases

"What?" He says finally recovering from his shock.

"Haan, I was shocked too. Kisne socha tha ki jo dono ek dusre ka murder karne ke liye taiyaar rehte hai woh date per jayenge" Aarohi says with a chuckle.

"Aarohi we need to talk" He says as they were done cleaning up.

"About us?" She asks with a scared expression. The thought of him rejecting her made her scared. She had no idea why she was so scared.

"I will not lie. Mujhe tum pasand ho." Shreyas says. Aarohi was a little taken back by the confession. She had never thought that she was capable of someone liking her, let alone loving.

"I honestly don't know what I am feeling. I guess we should try this marriage out. Learn things about each other" Aarohi suggests making Shreyas nod.

~~

Bhavika smiled as she sat on her bed. She was excited about her date with Shubman tomorrow.

She excitedly moves to her cupboard and takes out her dress which she would wear. Taking about her earrings and shoes for  tomorrow she finally lays on the bed buzzing with excitement.

~~

"Rishu!" Kirti shouts as she enters their shared bedroom.

"Kya hua baby?" Rishabh asks keeping his phone aside.

"Humari shaadi ki date fix ho gayi" She squeals making him smile and hug her.

He kisses her forehead softly and says " I can't wait baby"

~~

As Shubman laid on the bed, he picks up his phone and opens the gallery. He caresses Bhavika's picture which he took in secret.

"Ab to bas kal ka intezaar hai" He says and sleeps.

~~

Neil sat in his bed with tears in his eyes. He regretted it, rejecting Aarohi was the biggest guilt of his life.

His eyes landed on the phone which was displaying Aarohi's latest post.

"AAROHI!" He shouts and hits the wall nearby. The impact made his hands bleed.

"Aarohi tumne jo kia haina mere bete ke saath uski saza to tumhe milegi" Manjari says with a wicked smirk.
