Everyone excluding Yuvraj and Vardhaan was gathered in the living room to see off the two couples leaving for their respective trips. Yuvraj had left for the office early morning and Vardhaan was already on a business trip.
Naina and Aadarsh who had already come downstairs with their luggage were now waiting for Aakarsh and Raina to come so that they could leave for the airport together.
Agreed that their flight was after Aakarsh and Raina but there wasn't a huge difference in time so waiting for some extra minutes in Airport wouldn't hurt either of them.
Whereas Naina was split between her mood swings and constant self. She wanted nothing more than to be all giddy and mushy self after what happened earlier in their room but her mood swings were being a bitch so she just chose to stay silent for now.
Though she had been thinking that how difficult it was to just keep your emotions to yourself and stay silent? How does her husband even do that?
She would never know!
Her thoughts came to an end when she heard the sound of shoes tapping against the tiled staircase and the view of her sister descending the stairs with her luggage in her hand caught her eye.
Baggy Jeans,
White fitted short t-shirt,
Layered with an open button long denim shirt.
And Raina ended the look with white sneakers and a messy bun.
Naina could once again envy her sister's dressing sense a little. Though being a fashion designer, it was acceptable that Raina's dressing sense needed to be on top. Sometimes she just wished that she could borrow fashion sense a little bit from her sister and Naina shook her head disapprovingly at her outfit, pastel pink kurta, white plazo paired with small diamond studs, and open hair.
A loud thud echoed jerking Naina away from her outfit thoughts and her eyes rounded in shock seeing the damn three big bags which Aakarsh was not carrying so effortlessly.
She turned towards the husband she wasn't angry with but still a little angry with but he gave an 'I knew it'll look and she shook her head.
Could her sister and her husband's brother be any more different?
Slowly she saw as Aadarsh pitied his brother and helped him by picking up one bag from the staircase.
.........................
"Happy journey," Raina smiled at a beaming Ruhanika who wished her and nodded.
"I'll miss you both. I don't know what I will do the days you both will be gone." Ruhanika complains.
"Awe, bhabhi don't worry I'll keep you company," Ishani answered too sweetly coming towards them before Raina could reply.
Currently, they were in the kitchen as Raina felt the need to drink a glass of water before leaving.
Ruhanika followed her because it was better than staying with others in the hall.
"Unfortunately I don't want your company." Ruhanika shrugged her shoulders in an apprehensive manner.
"And fortunately I want your company and we will be spending a lot of time together so that I can know you more." Ishani's lips curved into a loop-sided smile as both of them looked at each other.
Raina frowned looking at the two grown women in front of her and she was sure that something happened in the last few days.
Ruhanika looked hesitant and tensed at Ishani's comment and it proved her doubt.
But the question was, What?
Soon, Ruhanika hurried out of the kitchen deepening Raina's frown as she narrowed her eyes towards Ishani, "What's going on?"
Ishani just hunched her shoulders and curved her lips, "I'll tell you once I found out."
With this, she was gone as well while Raina stood rooted in her place for a few seconds thinking deeply about the things happening around her.
Everything and everyone seemed too mysterious nowadays.
Were she and her sister the only ones not hiding something?
.......................
Raina sighed as she looked out of the car window.
Currently, they were on their way to the Airport after bidding bye to all the family members and she was sitting in the backseat with her dearest sister while Aadarsh was driving and Aakarsh was sitting in the passenger seat.
Of course, a car of their bodyguards was following them and one of the bodyguards would take their car back to the Rathore mansion afterward.

Ishani glanced at herself in the mirror and a proud smile graced her lips at the outfit she chose.
The typical daughter-in-law outfit which Gayatri Rathore would highly approve of.
Well, it was an embroidered bisque-colored floor-length frock Kurti paired with jeans underneath as it wasn't visible due to the kurti's length.
She made sure to add some pieces of jewelry which gave her a more 'royal daughter-in-law look'.
Picking up the barn red lipstick, she coated her lips red giving them a bold look as she gave herself a thumbs up for what she had planned.
She tucked her hair strand behind her ear and breathed out nervously.
Tomorrow Vardhaan would be back and she needed to do it before he came back at any cost!
Afterall this marriage and everything should cost her at least something good, right?
Shaking her head and nervous thoughts out, she made her way towards Gayatri Rathore's room to accomplish the plan she made.
She grinned in satisfaction seeing the wooden door in front of her.
..................
Vardhaan shook his head at the horrifying thoughts his mind came up with.
He couldn't even think of the things that woman must have done in his absence to his house and his room!
He ran his hand through his face in frustration.
What the hell was she planning!?
He thought again and blew out deeply feeling frustrated at himself.
But suddenly something struck his mind as his lips curved into a sinister grin.
I have a gift for you too Mrs. wifey.
He thought with a vicious smirk dancing on his lips and called someone to make his someone special gift ready.

Ruhanika strode towards her room with the pack of clothes in her hand which she gave last week for dry cleaning.
Her oh-so-expensive sarees were losing their charm after sitting in her wardrobe for a long time without any use, so she gave them up for dry cleaning to glam those up again, and just now they came back in the hands of a house helper while she was busy in spending her time in the garden with the roses she planted a few weeks ago.
Fortunately, her dearest husband left for the office way too early today after the incident that happened today morning and she couldn't help but be grateful for that after whatever happened between them yesterday night.
"Let me explain to you what a honeymoon is, so-"
She shook her head at the remembrance of those words he spoke to her without any hesitation.
What has gotten into him all of a sudden?
She couldn't help but wonder then maybe he was like this only from the start... It was just that their interactions were bare minimum and with time when their interactions were increasing, she was getting to know him and his real unfiltered self more.
She swallowed hard at the thought of unfiltered Yuvraj.
Oof, he made her so nervous and so so intimidated.
She blew a relieved sigh knowing he wasn't here right now as she opened their room.
Her eyes widened in shock as she stared at the sight unfolding before her.
Yuvika was standing before the dressing-table which belonged to Yuvraj and was engrossed in doing makeup which Yuvika stoled from Ruhanika's dressing table.
Ruhanika face palmed herself as she saw the lipstick kiss stains all over the mirror and her makeup products spilled on the table.
Yuvraj's OCD probably wouldn't like this.
Not even a bit!
He needed everything to be perfect.
Fear sprouted deep within her at the thought. She knew that she would become the victim of his frustration and anger because she was responsible to keep her makeup products away from Yuvika.
Yuvraj had in past scolded her for her make-up products lying messily on her dressing table because even if the table belonged to her, it was irking the mighty Yuvraj Rathore's eyes which needed everything in his control and to be perfect.
Just perfect.
Just when she was almost about to dramatically cry on her situation, her daughter turned to sense someone else in the room.
Lipstick smeared all over her lips,
Blush applied in excessive amount,
Different eyeshadow in both eyes,
With a makeup brush still resting in her hand, Yuvika nervously grinned showing her pearly white teeth and hid the make-up brush behind her back thinking that no one would know what she was doing.
Ruhanika couldn't help but smile despite all the worry afterall Yuvika looked way too cute!
Taking fast steps toward Yuvika, Ruhanika picked her up to which she kissed Ruhanika's cheek making a kiss mark on the cheek.
A way of buttering up her mother.
Ruhanika sighed at the child in her hand.
Sometimes Ruhanika forgot that even Yuvika was a small child and was supposed to act this way.
Agreed, Yuvika was way too mature for her age due to the loss of her mother at an early age.
But, still,
She was a child, right?
"Why?" Ruhanika could only form these words and ask.
She didn't have the heart to scold the sweet child to which Yuvika's answer melted her heart,
"I wanted to look like you Maa."
"You're already like me!"
"No, I'm not. My face doesn't match yours and I want to look like you! Why don't I look like you, Maa?"
Ruhanika smiled at the innocent child in front of her and told, "Because you already look like your father baccha."
To which Yuvika frowned making a face of disbelief, "But I don't want to look like him! He isn't beautiful and so fat!"
Ruhanika's eyes widened at the open insult but realizing something she smiled as she answered, "Oho, having a mustache and beard doesn't make someone less beautiful. Also, he isn't fat, he is muscular."
To which Yuvika pouted, "But I don't like a beard. And nor the m...muscles! But I like abs!"
Ruhanika giggled and pinched Yuvika's cheeks, "So when you grow up, build up your abs!"
"But, ain't I a girl?"
"And abs don't have gender, my dear." Ruhanika grinned along with a beaming Yuvika.
"Now, will you help me in wearing a saree?" Yuvika asked cutely to which Ruhanika nodded settling Yuvika down on the bed and bringing one of her saree from the wardrobe.
Both of them laughed as Ruhanika draped it in a messy manner around Yuvika who just looked at herself in the mirror being overjoyed.

Ruhanika swirled her eyes in a snobby way as she glared at her husband sitting beside her on the new bed with his so-called laptop on his lap.
Aadarsh and Aakarsh were out of the city leaving Yuvraj under more pressure from work.
A little good for her as Yuvraj wasn't able to notice the light stains on the mirror.
Yes, she had cleaned it but the stains were ever so slightly visible!
She looked at the wall clock,
12:30 am.
She inwardly groaned annoyedly seeing this.
The lights of their room were closed but the light coming from his laptop was irking her and not letting her sleep.
Tonight, she was cursing her 'sleeping in pitch darkness' habit and him too.
Unfortunately, for her, she didn't even have her book with her for timepass.
And once she tried to download an app to read books online.
It didn't end too well due to the comments over there.
One lady commented on a romantic line that she stepped on poop.
Ruhanika was left absurd at the comment but the replies were more absurd!
People in the comments were then arguing about whose poop that lady stepped on!
Well, it was funny but it ruined her mood.
So online reading was a big no as they didn't even give her that certain feel.
She turned on the bed but not able to control her frustration anymore, yelled, "Arghh! Yuvraj Ji, close your laptop, please! I'm not able to sleep."
Her plea plus yell was royally ignored by Yuvraj as the typing speed on the laptop increased.
She waited for whole five minutes before pleading again, "Yuvraj Ji, please. I'm not able to sleep!"
Ignored.
Once again.
She tried for the third time and this time she received his glare making her shut up.
But after ten minutes she opened her mouth again, "Yu-"
Her words were caught up in her throat as this time Yuvraj aggressively kept his laptop down, turned towards her, and pulled her head on his lap.
All the blood in her body seemed to freeze as she looked into his blazing eyes, her lips parted to say something but she was shushed up his index finger, "Shh! Keep quiet and sleep, my dear wife. Let me help you so that you can have your sleep."
With this, he started patting her head fastly closing her eyes with his hands as if she was a child.
She once again opened her mouth but this time she was cut off again by his silky sarcastic voice, "Oh! My poor wife isn't able to sleep this way too? Wait, I'll cradle you in my arms so milady could sleep."
And with this, he cradled her in his arms taking away Ruhanika's breath as her heart thumped wildly in her ribcage the moment she could feel his arms around her and her head resting on his chest.
"Yuvraj Ji please," she pleaded closing her eyes being so embarrassed by the situation he put them in.
"Please what my dear wife? What do you want me to do more so that you can have your sleep?" He mocked in his deep voice sending shivers down her spine.
"N-no." Ruhanika stuttered.
"So, want to get tired in some other way so that you can have a sound sleep? Want me to make you tired so your eyes could rest?" His gravelly calm voice made her breath hitch and her heart stop for a moment.
"No-no just put me down. I'll not disturb you I promise!" She hastily answered closing her eyes as her breathing quickened due to his dirty words.
"Good." With this, he made sure to place her on her side of the bed, and her head on her pillow.
Ruhanika closed her eyes as she released a breath she didn't know she was holding still now and sighed in relief.
She glanced at him from the corner of her eyes who was closing his laptop and laying down as well.
Why is he laying down as well?
She thought being horrified and quickly picked up her blanket and covered herself completely with it, in a way to protect herself, and closed her eyes so tight in a way to fall asleep quick.
..................
The morning came earlier than she wanted as Ruhanika rubbed her tired eyes and sat up looking at the covered window through which some rays of the sun were peaking out.
She turned towards her side and saw Yuvraj sleeping in a sitting position with his open laptop on his lap.
How is this possible?
She thought as she remembered clearly he closed his laptop but then...
Maybe, he started his work again after she was sound asleep.
She passed a guilty smile in his direction and picked up the laptop which was switched on.
She saw the screen turning black and frowned.
She moved her fingers on the touchpad and the screen illuminated again making her smile in relief but then the cursor just stopped moving and the laptop hung.
She tried to move the cursor through the touchpad but failed and suddenly it moved but everything was blank then!
Everything he typed the night earlier was gone and she felt the need for the earth to swallow her at the exact moment.
Her palms turned clammy as she gazed at the screen in front of her with fear and suddenly she felt a moment beside her.
Her heart raced wildly as two dark eyes bored right into hers...
Target- 800+
