Abhiraj and Akshita, filled with joy and anticipation, eagerly await their upcoming wedding. The first week of the next month marks the beginning of their enchanting journey together, starting with their much-awaited engagement. The families, brimming with happiness, are busy making preparations for this auspicious occasion. The invitation cards have been meticulously crafted and shared with loved ones. However, Nishchay, valuing his cherished friendship with Kunal, has decided to extend a personal invitation himself, recognizing the significance of their bond. Such thoughtfulness and attention to detail truly make this celebration regal and extraordinary.

As soon as Abhiraj and Nishchay entered the Dixit mansion, Nishchay was greeted with a big, warm hug from his bestie Kunal. It must have been such a special moment, especially since they're both busy businessmen with tight schedules. Reuniting after a long time must have been a great opportunity for them to catch up and enjoy each other's company. Friendship truly knows no bounds, even amidst busy lives.

"Padharo padharo Raja sa! Bade dino baad darshan hue hai aapke!" Said Kunal.

"Bhyii baat toh sahi hai! Kaam itna zyada hai ki fursat he kaha, pr aaj fursat nikal ke aaye hein!" Said Nishchay.

"Chalo bhyii! Der aaye durust aaye, apna milna toh hua, sabko leke aate!"

"Sabko leke aane ki baari ab tumhari hai!"

"Kyu bhyii, aisi kon si khushkhabri hai?" Kunal asked being excited.

"Abhiraj ka rishta pakka ho gya hai! Agle mahine shadi hai!"

"Arey wah! Badhai ho"

Both friends were engrossed in their conversation when suddenly, a bubbly and sweet voice caught their attention.

"Nishchay uncle! Khamma Ghani! "It was Kunal's daughter Mridula.

"Ghani khamma bete! Kaisi ho?" Nishchay asked.

"Hum theek hai uncle, Raj bhi aaya hai?" She asked excitedly.

"Haa haa! Bahar lawn mein hai, jao Milo"

As soon as those words escaped from Nishchay's lips, the girl dashed out to the lush green lawn, her heart pounding with anticipation. She had always carried a flame for Abhiraj, right from the very beginning. But he had no clue about her feelings! The poor girl, she never mustered the courage to confess her emotions, which is why she remained his best friend instead of becoming his girlfriend. It's a bittersweet situation, isn't it? Sometimes, the fear of losing a friendship can hold us back from expressing our true desires. But who knows? Maybe one day, the stars will align, and she'll find the strength to reveal her heartfelt affection. Atleast that's what she thought unware to the surprise future holds for her.

"Raj!" Calling out his name Mridula dashing into his arms, the desire her eyes hold to see his face every single day and the desire she holds to have his heavenly touch was something she lives for! Her world just revolves around someone who's unware of this burning flame.

[Abhiraj's POV]

I and Baba came to Dixit uncle's house as Baba cannot be much more happy as I was going to marry. Ofc they'd been best buddies since their childhood and Dixit uncle deserves this huge happy news to be told by him.As soon as I set my foot outside my phone buzzed. Abhiraj Singh Rathore just failed to hide that smile which crept on my lips by seeing the person's name. No one could make me smile like she does! Humari Akshita!!

Opening her message all I saw was a beautiful side faced image of her, with beautiful earings on . Her cheeks holding the beautiful shade of crimson and her eyelids down as always either in respect or due to her shyness.

"How's it?" Her message said.

I couldn't help but admire my woman! How come I be so lucky to have her in my life. I already am so in love with her.Instead of texting her back I dailed her number and after a few rings she picked up.

"Hu-huk-um sa?" She spoke stuttering.

"Haa hum! Yeh aapki awaaz ko kya ho gya?" He asked knowing what exactly happened, but such a tease.

"Nhi kuch nhi! Woh...." Poor akshita wasn't able to answer.

"Woh...." Abhiraj repeated , motivating her to speak further.

"Woh aapne achanak se call kr liya na toh buss..."

"Toh kya Akshita? Apni hone wali biwi ko call Krna mana hai kya?" He flirted.

As soon as he addressed her as his wife, she couldn't help but blush"Hukum sa!"

"Ji!" Such a tease he is.

"Yeh sari baatein baad mein, pehle yeh bataiye ki kaise lge humare nye jhumke?" She asked, changing the topic.

"Thik the , kuch khaas nhi " he replied tastelessly.

"Sirf thik the?" Her face dropped.

" Haa! Jhumke toh thik thak he the, pr unhe pehenkr iss chehre ka Noor or badh gya aur un jhumko ki shaan."

"Thanks, and thanks a lot more ki apne itne busy schedule se aapne humare liye thoda time nikala "

"Hone wali Rani sa ko khush rakhna humari responsibility hai!"

"Accha! Waise Aaj itni fursat kaise hai aapko?"

"Fursat toh aaj bhi nhi hai! Company ki site pe jaana hai. Hum Baba ke sath shadi ka invitation Dene aaye the unke best buddy ke Ghar "

"Ohh! Toh aapko unke sath hona chahiye, aap yaha kya kr rhe hai "

"Aapse baatein!"

"Humse toh aap kabhi bhi baat kr sakte hai filhaal Baba ke pass jaiye "

"Humpr hukum chla rhi hein aap?"

"Ji bilkul! Ab jaiye baad mein baat krte hein"

"Jaisa aap khein Rani sa! Chalte hein"

"Hukum sa!"

"Hmm?"

"Take care "

"Uske liye aap hein na....."

"Jaiye"

"Bye"

They ended the call even though he didn't wanted to. Even they both never knew how happy those two heart gets even at the mention of their partner's name. She loved the way that husky deep voice of his calls out her name ever so beautifully. He loved just how calm his tired muscles, his mind and  his heart gets when her voice fell into his ears just like a beautiful melody. He couldn't help but just smile ear to ear remembering the conversation he shared with his lady. The train of his thoughts halted when someone out of nowhere hugged him from his back.It was Mridula.

"Raj! Kitne din ke baad mil rhe hein hum."

"Mridu! Kaisi ho"

"Kaisi houngi! Na kabhi puchte ho aur na aage se yaad krte ho.Mai he pagal hu Jo itna Miss krti hu tumhe. Khair ! Tum Raja jo thehre!"

"Arey! It's nothing like that. Kaam itna ho---"

"Shut up Raj! Kya hai tumhara, her waqt sirf kaam kaam aur kaam! Kabhi Mera bhi soch liya kro!"

"Areyy! Aaya toh hu Milne "

"Mujhse Milne aaye ho fir bhi phone se chipke ho!"

"Yrr mridu!"

"Waise aana kaise hua?"

"Arey haa woh actually hum-"

He was just about to tell her the purpose he was here for, but his words were cut in the middle by Kunal.

"Arey Abhiraj bete!!! Badhai ho! Congratulations!" Kunal came and hugged Abhiraj which took Mridula to a surprise. Why so happy?

"Kis baat ka congratulations Baba?"

"Arey! Isne bataya nhi kya? Abhiraj ka rishta pakka ho gya hai!"

"Rishta pakka?"
