Aarohi entered her and Shreyas's room after completing her night chores.

"Hi" Shreyas says, earning a reply back.

"Rohi?" Shreyas calls making her look at him.

"Haan bolo?" She says

("Yes?")

"Idhar aao na" Shreyas requests. Aarohi complies his request and and sits beside him.

("Come here please")

He takes his phone out and opens the camera, "Smile" Shreyas says and clicks their pictures.

After clicking a few more selfies, Aarohi says "Rishabh was right, you click the most random selfies"

"Ab na waha khadi ho jao, I'll click your pictures" Shreyas instructs

(Now stand there, I'll click your photo.)

"Abhi?" She whines making him nod.

("Now?")

"Shreyas, I am wearing a baggy t-shirt and joggers aur mein bohot zyada thak gayi hu" She says

("Shreyas, I am wearing a baggy T-shirt and joggers and I am very tired.")

"Baggy t-shirt nhi meri t-shirt hai woh. And are you really tired?" He asks making her roll her eyes. If she was really tired, he could not force her to stay up for 2 more hours just to celebrate her birthday.

("It's not baggie t-shirt, it's my t-shirt and are you really tired?")

"nhi mein mazak mazak mein thak gayi" She replies sarcastically.

("No I am kidding")

"Acha, to tum so jao" 

("Oh, then you go to sleep.")

"Dhanyawad aapni permission dene ke liye" She replies making him chuckle.

("Thank you for granting your permission.")

"Tum nhi soge?" She asks when he does not get in the bed with her.

("You won't sleep")

"Nhi, I have a book to finish" Shreyas says making her look at him with suspicious but she does not say anything.

("No I have a book to finish")

Shreyas too gets in the bed, he reads his novel with one hand and uses his free hand to stroke her head as she sleeps.

After he was sure that she fell asleep, he got off the bed carefully and covered her properly.

He messaged in the group chat

Shreyas: Sab ready hai?

(Is everything ready?)

Ishan: Haan sab ready hai

(yes everything is ready)

Shreyas: Good

Shubman: All the best bhai, if everything goes well aaj se tu virgin nhi rahega

(All the best brother, if everything goes well from today you will no longer be a virgin.)

Rishabh: Ja mere sher, kar de pyaar ka izhaar

(Go my lion, express your love!)

"Bastards!" Shreyas mutters under his breath and goes to the closet. After wearing what he thought was presentable enough, he got out to wake his wife up.

"Aaru?" He calls her while patting her cheeks.

"Shrey? Kya hua?" She mumbles with her eyes half open.

("Shrey? What happened?")

"Happy Birthday Sweetheart" He whispers as she gets up and rubs her eyes.

"Thank you" She whispers and wraps her arms around him.

"Ab chalo change karlo we have to go somewhere" He says breaking the hug.

("Now go and change, we have to go somewhere")

"Change abhi?" She asks making him nod and say "do you want your birthday pics like this?"

("Change now?")

"Mujhe koi problem nhi hai but bhavika aur Kirti mera murder kar denge" She sighs dramatically and he laughs.

("I don't have any problem but Bhavika and Kirti will murder me.")

After 20 minutes or so, she came out wearing a blue sundress.

"Can you hook this?" She asks passing him her pendant.

Shreyas smiles and takes it from her. He hooks it behind her neck and smiles.

"So how do I look?" She asks giving him a little twirl.

"Like mine" Shreyas flirts making her laugh.

She applies some lip gloss as she was in no mood to do makeup in the middle of the night.

"Tumhe makeup karna hai to karlo, I'll wait" He says making her shake her head no.

("If you want to wear makeup, do it, I'll wait.")

"Nhi, itni raat ko maan nhi hai mera"

("No I don't feel like wearing make this late at night")

"chale?" Shreyas asks her making her nod.

("Let's go?")

They reach the terrace and Shreyas opens the door for Aarohi. 

Aarohi's eyes widen with shock and her eyes fill with slight tears.

The terrace was decorated with fairy lights which were shining under the dark sky. On the wall, Happy Birthday balloons were hung. In the middle, there was a table for cake.

"Shrey" Aarohi breaths out and turns to her husband "Thank you"

"Aarohi, the first time I say you, my heart skipped and my breaths were ragged. I love you Rohi! Jab mein tumhare saath nhi hota tab mein tumhare bare mein sochta hu aur jab hota hu then I just want to freeze time and-" he was cut off by Aarohi kissing him.

("Aarohi, the first time I say you, my heart skipped and my breaths were ragged. I love you Rohi! When i am not with you I think about you and  Whenever I am with you I just want to freeze time and- ")

"Tum na bolte bohot ho" She whispers against his lips.

("You talk a lot.")

"To tum chupa kara dena" He whispers back and kisses her again.

("So you make me quite")
