Aarushi's POV:-

As I explained what happened that night , Aryaa stares at me for few seconds and then burst out laughing while banging the table.

'Joke suna rahi hu kya?' I asked her irritatingly.

She shook her head laughing, 'Lag toh wahi rahi hain'

'Kya bakwas plan boli hain mujhe karne k liye...*seduce him*' I mimicked her making her laugh more.

'Meri plan bilkul perfect thi..agar tere husband unromantic nikle toh mein kya karu isme??' she asked me making me whine more.

She wiped the tears that escape from her eyes..

'You know more than a wife ,he treats you like a child..banda  caring toh hain manna parega par' she said with a pause ..

' Romantic bilkul bhi nahi' she chuckles making me huff.

'Achaa aur ek baar try kar' she asked sitting straight.

'Kaise??' I asked her sadly.

'Valentine's day aa rahi hain na doh din baad?' she asked me.

I nods my head, 'Haa toh kya woh thodi mere sath romance karega uss din??'

She hit my head , 'Nahi re pagal..jo karna hain tujhe karna hain'

'Ek romantic dinner plan set up kar apne ghar ...and also bring some wine bottles that day' she told me with a knowing look.

My eyes widened as I understood her real motive behind it.

'Do you me..an??' i stutters to which she nods repeatedly.

'Haa wahi...make him drunk and then seduce him...by doing him a lap dance.... trust me this time it will pass with 100 marks' she said by lifting her imaginary collar.

'But he hates alcohol yaar...kaise pilau unko? Unko smell aane se hi khabar mil jata hain...' I asked bitting my nails.

'Dekh I am giving you ideas ,ab tu kaise usko chalayegi ,woh tujhe plan karni hain' she asked giving me a look.

'Tere ideas har samay chalati hu ..aur har samay flop ho jati hain' I murmurs looking down.

'kuch kaha tune??' she asked me  raising her eyebrows.

I immediately shook my head.

'Acha thikh hain dekhti hu..' I murmurs.

Author's POV:-

It was finally the valentine's day.

She opened her eyes groggily to see Avijeet is sleeping holding her in his arms.

She smiled caressing his cheek. On feeling her touch, he too opened his eyes with a smile.

'Kya hua itna subah subah uth gayi??' he asked with his morning voice.

'Happy Valentine's Day my love' she giggles planting a kiss on his forehead.

He smiles hugging her more tightly by closing her eyes.

'Hmmmm..Happy Valentine's Day Aarushi..' he whispers.

'Aapko yaad tha ki aaj 14th February hain??' she asked.

He shook his head, 'Tum batayi tab mujhe yaad aya'

She sighed. 'Aapko kuch dates yaad nahi rahte siwai humlog k marriage anniversary date ayr mere birthday..aap khudke bhi birthday kab hain, woh bhi bhul jate hain'

He smiled hearing her complaint.

'Haa because with you every day is a valentine's day for me..and mere birthday bolo toh tum ho na mere birthday yaad rakhne k liye'

'Aaj kuch zaida cheezy nahi ban rahe hain app??' she teases him pinching his nose.

He chuckles, 'Is it? I am just saying the fact'.

'Suniye na...' she asked sweetly.

'Hmm bolo kya chahiye??' he asked seeing her puppy eyes.

She slapped his chest lightly, 'Kuch nahi..bas aap aaj office se jaldi aa sakte h??'

'Kyu kahi jaana hain tumko..shopping??' he asked .

'Nahi ...bas aap aa jaiye jaldi aaj...baki aap ghar aa k dekh lena...' she said with excitement.

'Acha thik hain..mein aa jaunga..ab khush??' he asked.

She hugged him tightly in excitement, 'Hmm bohut khush'.

The evening sky was painted in hues of orange and pink as Aarushi busied herself with last-minute preparations.

The dining table was elegantly set with a beautiful bouquet of roses in a glass vase. She had also placed two bottles of alcohol, cleverly hiding them under the table.

A mischievous smirk played on her lips as she recalled her plan—she was going to mix Avijeet’s drink with 80% alcohol and 20% Coca-Cola.

"Let’s see how my Mr. Unromantic handles this!" she giggled to herself.

She had also ordered his favorite dishes from his favorite restaurant, making sure everything was perfect.

The clock struck 8 p.m., and just as she was about to adjust her saree one last time, the doorbell rang. Her heart raced with anticipation.

Taking a deep breath, she quickly opened the door, her lips curling into a bright smile.

Avijeet stood there, momentarily stunned. His eyes widened as he took in her appearance—draped in a black net saree, silver earrings dangling from her ears, and her mangalsutra resting elegantly against her collarbone. Her hair was tied in a loose bun, with a few strands falling over her face, making her look breathtakingly beautiful.

He was at a loss for words.

Aarushi tilted her head, her smile turning playful. "What are you staring at? Come inside."

She grabbed his wrist and pulled him inside, snapping him out of his trance. His gaze then shifted to the beautifully decorated dining table.

'Aarushi yeh sab ??' he asked.

'Surprise !!! Woh ajj valentine's day hain na..so I thought to give you a small surprise kaisa laga??' she smiled tilting  her head cutely.

'Its truly beautiful...I loved it..' he said honestly amazed by the way she decorated the house all alone.

'Ab aap jaiye aur change kar lijiye. I bought  a shirt for you..please wear it..I kept it on our bed' she said pushing him to  climb the stairs.

'Acha thikh hain...I am going...' he laughed seeing her excitement level.

'Haa jaldi jaiye ...I am waiting here' she shouts.

As he gone ,she slowly tiptoed and pulled out one wine bottle under the table and opened the seal.

She scanned the entire bottle before opening the cap and sniff it because it's also her first time she is seeing an alcohol bottle.

'Baba kitna strong smell hain' she murmurs.

'Taste karu thoda??' she asked herself.

'Thoda taste kar leti hu ...dekhti hu ki meetha hain yaa khatta' she murmurs pouring a little amount in the wine glass.

The colour is wine red.

'Colour toh bariya hain iska' shaking her head she took one sip.

'Chiiii !!! yeh kya hain!!!!!! Kitna karwa hain ....karela bhi isse meetha hoti hain' she said.

With that one sip turned into two… then three…until the room felt lighter, her limbs tingling with a newfound boldness.

Avijeet's POV:-

I changed into the black shirt which Aarushi brought me and I paired up with jeans. I don't know what more surprises she had kept for me.

'Agar subah woh kuch hint deti iss surprise k baare mein..then I would have brought a gift for her' I murmured feeling sad.

But I promise myself to take her on date on coming Sunday.

As I go downstairs. I couldn't found Aarushi anywhere.

'Aarushi?' I called her but next moment my eyes got widen seeing her.
