A few days later

In evening, Vaish entered in Abhineet's mansion. She found an empty hall which is kinda weird. As it was never before. At least one servant is always there.

Vaish: Itni shanti hain yaha. I hope everything is fine.

Just then a servant came and saw her standing at entrance

Servant (smile): Good evening ma'am.

Vaish: Good evening. Kaha hain ye dono?

Servant (forwarding an envelope): Sir ne ye aapke liye diya hain. Thank you.

She walked away without letting her even react.

Vaish (looking at envelope): Ab ye kya hain?

She opened it and found a chit. "Welcome Home Beautiful ♡"
We are playing treasure hunt. This is your first riddle. Maine to Google use kiya hain but tum nahin kar sakti. No cheating. I have my eyes on you Ms. Smarty.

FIRST RIDDLE "I get cold, but my door twin gets colder,
I keep food fresh, and help it from getting older"

Vaish read and smiled.

Vaish (loudly): Abhi tum idiot ho. Itna easy riddle. Answer is REFRIGERATOR.

She went in kitchen and opened the door of fridge. She noticed a chit there too. She took and found chocolate attached to it. Vaish grinned taking it. She read second chit.

Vaish (reading chit): Congratulations sweetheart. Chocolates for Smarty.

SECOND RIDDLE "There are clues to be found. I know you think this as fun. Now go and look under the place where you sit and eat"

Vaish giggled.

Vaish: Dumb!! Dinning table itna common hain.

She went and look under dinning table.

Vaish (shout in excitement): Oh my baby!!

She took puppy in arms and squeal in happiness. Puppy too wiggle in her arms. She giggle.

Vaish: Next chit.

She found next chit there. She took it.

Vaish (reading chit): How's the surprise? Avni told me you love dogs but your mom don't like to keep it at home. Nevermind, we will keep him here. Anyways time for next clue

THIRD RIDDLE "When it is time to say good night. We often turn off the light. Use the sight to find the next clue by the light."

Vaish scrunch her eyes.

Vaish: Huh? Good night bolne ke baad hum lights off karte hain? Ye kya bakwaas hain? Anyways, lights off karne ke baad moon light ki help li jati hain. Moonlight? Vo to garden mein.

She walked towards garden, while showering her love on puppy. Once, she reached garden, she found no one. She was least interested in game now. She was enjoying with puppy.

Abhi: Oppss!!! I am so jealous.

Vaish looked up to see Abhi standing there.

Vaish: Tum kab aaye?

Abhi: Jab koi mere hisse ka pyaar kisi or ko diye jaa raha tha.

Vaish (confused): Matlab?

Abhi closed his eyes and took deep breath. Vaish was silently, observing his actions.

Abhi (holding Vaish's hand): Listen to me carefully. Let me complete first then answer.

Vaish was confused and she felt some tingling sensation in her stomach. Her heartbeat increased. So, Abhi felt same. He was damn nervous as well.

Abhi (wetting his lips): Vaishu... I love the feeling and the butterflies in my stomach I get when I see you smiling. I love all the moments I spend with you. I wish to spend many more beautiful moments with you. Actually I want to get older with you. You beside me in every updowns of my life. Me beside you in everything of your life. I don't when I started feeling for you. I love you. Will you be my girlfriend Vaishnavi Rao?

He was looking at her, in her eyes. She was damn shocked.

Vaish (shocked): Abhi?

Abhi: Vaishu if it's no. Don't worry. There will be no effect on your friendship. These are my feelings. I-

Vaish jumped on him in happiness. She hug him.

Vaish (mumbling in Abhi's ear): I love you too. Since, I don't know when I had crush on you. For sometime, I was mad at you but after meeting you. I started feeling for you. Never, I thought you will propose me. I love you too Abhishek Nigam.

She hug him tightly and happy tears roll down on her cheeks. Abhi felt his shoulder getting wet. He broke the hug and wiped her tears. He kissed on her forehead.

Vaish smiled, living the moment she always dreamt for.
