Aditi stirred awake, the soft light of dawn filtering through the curtains, casting a gentle glow in the room. She lay in bed, still wrapped in the warmth of the night before, memories of laughter and love lingering in the air. The wedding had been a whirlwind of joy, but it was the moments spent with Rohit that filled her heart with a new kind of happiness.
As she turned slightly, Aditi glanced over at Rohit, who lay peacefully beside her, his chest rising and falling gently in sleep. He looked so serene, a hint of a smile playing on his lips, as if he were dreaming of something wonderful. A wave of affection washed over her, and she couldn't help but admire him—the way the morning light danced on his features, the way his hair fell slightly over his forehead.
"What a night," she whispered to herself, recalling the magic of the wedding. The way he had looked at her during the ceremony, how he'd made her laugh during the reception, and the tender moments they shared dancing under the stars. Aditi felt a flutter in her stomach, a mix of excitement and nervousness about where this new chapter might lead.
Unable to resist, she reached out and brushed her fingers softly against his cheek. He stirred slightly but didn't wake. Aditi smiled, feeling a rush of warmth as she remembered the kiss they'd shared the night before. It had been a moment that felt so right, igniting a spark between them that she had longed for.
"Rohit," she whispered softly, wanting to see those warm brown eyes open. She leaned closer, her heart racing. "Wake up, sleepyhead."
After a few moments, Rohit's eyelids fluttered open, and he squinted at the sunlight streaming into the room. A slow smile spread across his face as he focused on her. "Good morning," he murmured, his voice still thick with sleep.
"Good morning," Aditi replied, her heart fluttering at the sight of his morning smile. She couldn't help but tease him a little. "You know, I've heard that handsome men can sleep in even on the most important days."
Rohit chuckled, propping himself up on one elbow, his gaze locking onto hers. "Well, I did have a long day yesterday. But waking up next to you makes it all worthwhile."
Aditi felt her cheeks heat at his compliment. "Thank you, but you weren't so bad yourself. You looked dashing in your suit."
Rohit laughed, and she loved the sound of it, a rich melody that filled the room. He reached out and tucked a loose strand of hair behind her ear, his fingers lingering against her skin. "So, what do you want to do today?"
Aditi felt a rush of joy at his touch, her heart racing as their eyes met. "I just want to enjoy this moment," she said softly. "Just you and me."
Rohit nodded, the playful expression fading into something more serious. "I can get behind that idea. Just us, no distractions."
With a shared understanding, they both relaxed into the moment, the world outside fading away. Aditi felt a sense of peace enveloping them, a cocoon of intimacy that felt right.
"Do you remember how we used to talk about our dreams?" Aditi asked, feeling nostalgic.
"Of course," Rohit replied, his voice low and warm. "You always wanted to travel the world, and I wanted to build something meaningful."
"And now?" Aditi probed, her heart racing with curiosity about their future.
Rohit paused for a moment, considering her question. "Now, I want to share those dreams with you," he said earnestly. "Whatever they may be."
Aditi felt her heart swell at his words. She reached out, intertwining her fingers with his. "I want that too, Rohit. I want to explore, create, and build a life together."
With that, Rohit shifted closer, pulling her into his arms. Aditi melted against him, feeling safe and cherished. They lay there in comfortable silence, the warmth of each other's presence enough to fill the space with unspoken promises.
As the sun continued to rise, bathing the room in a golden glow, Aditi realized that this was just the beginning of their journey together. With every heartbeat, every shared glance, and every whisper, they were crafting a new story—one filled with love, laughter, and endless possibilities.
Three months had passed since that beautiful morning, and Aditi now felt a profound change within her. The tiny life growing inside her was a constant reminder of the bond she and Rohit shared. She often marveled at how quickly life had changed. They were no longer just childhood friends; they were building a future together.
One evening, Aditi sat in their shared living room, a soft glow from the lamps illuminating the space as she thumbed through wedding photos, reliving the magic of their special day. She could hear Rohit moving around in the kitchen, the sounds of pots clanging and water running filling the air. Her heart swelled with joy as she thought about their life together, the laughter they shared, and the dreams they were beginning to build.
"Hey, Aditi!" Rohit called out, interrupting her thoughts. "Do you want to help me with dinner?"
She smiled and got up, walking toward the kitchen. "What are you making?"
"Your favorite—pasta!" he grinned, his enthusiasm infectious.
Aditi's stomach fluttered with excitement as she leaned against the counter, watching him cook. He was always so focused, and she loved how dedicated he was to making her happy. As she looked at him, her heart filled with love and gratitude. She wanted to tell him, to share the news that was both thrilling and a little scary.
"Rohit," she began, her voice slightly hesitant.
He turned to her, his brow furrowing with concern. "What is it? You look serious."
Taking a deep breath, Aditi stepped closer, her heart racing. "I have something to tell you."
He set down the wooden spoon, giving her his full attention. "What's going on?"
Aditi smiled, feeling a mixture of excitement and nerves. "I'm pregnant."
Rohit's eyes widened in surprise, and then a wide grin spread across his face. "Are you serious?" he exclaimed, stepping closer.
Aditi nodded, tears of joy filling her eyes. "Yes! I took a test this morning."
Without hesitation, Rohit wrapped his arms around her, lifting her off the ground in pure joy. "This is amazing! I can't believe it!"
They spun around in a little circle, laughter bubbling up as they celebrated the unexpected yet beautiful news. Aditi felt a rush of love as Rohit set her down and looked deeply into her eyes.
"We're going to be parents," he said softly, his voice filled with wonder.
Aditi nodded, a huge smile on her face. "Can you believe it?"
Rohit shook his head, still beaming. "I never imagined we'd get to this point so soon, but I'm so happy."
They embraced, the world outside fading away as they held each other close, savoring the moment. The journey ahead might be filled with challenges, but they would face it together, united in love and the new life they were bringing into the world.
