A day later

Lawn, Armaan's Mansion, Mumbai

At 7 am, Kavya, Ruhi and Mary arrive at the lawn with water bottles and napkins. The girls had decided to practice with Max for the advance course here, instead of the gym room as the morning weather was perfect for the practice.

But they halt at their spot to see Rihan and Armaan with Max, sitting on the wooden garden bench.

Ruhi whispers, "What are they doing here?"

Mary whispers, "I thought Rihan and Armaan must be sleeping. They are working till late in the study room for the new project from last two nights."

Kavya whispers, "Then what are they doing here early in the morning."

They walk closer, grabbing the men's attention, who stand to walk ahead.

Kavya asks, "Armaan, Rihan, what are you both doing here?"

Armaan greets with a smile, "Good morning to you too, Mrs. Raichand."

Rihan, Ruhi and Mary giggle at his words, while Max presses his lips to not laugh at his boss's wife.

Kavya fakes a smile and asks, "If the greeting session is completed, can you please inform, what brings you and your friend Rihan here?"

Rihan wipes his eyes dramatically and comments after a fake sniff, "We are not welcomed her, Armaan....we are not welcomed at your own home."

Ruhi rolls her eyes and teases them, "Kavy, if they are not answering, then let's try DID method."

Rihan takes a step back in fear and informs, "Armaan got me here, ask him."

Mary giggles at his reaction, while Armaan glares at him, before cursing under his breath and turns to find Kavya's questioning eyes staring at him.

He smiles at her and thinks for a minute before informing, "Max is not well."

Mary, Kavya and Ruhi frown before turning to face Max, who seem shocked rather than ill.

But Armaan speaks again, drawing their attention, "I mean, his cheek is not well, which I punched, the other day."

The women face Max again to find him cupping his swollen cheek with a fake pained expression. Kavya and Ruhi face each other with a confused look, unable to understand their intention.

But Mary understands his motive and thinks, 'Who will say, he is THE Armaan Raichand? To practice with his wife, he has to make excuses, instead of expressing his wish.'

Kavya faces Armaan and asks, "But how does it explain your and Rihan's presence here?

He pinches the bridge of his nose and informs, "Max's cheek is paining and he can't practice. But your advance course will begin tomorrow, so I will help you in the training."

Kavya questions with raised eyebrows, "You?"

Armaan nods in positive, but she shakes her head, while refusing, "That's not needed, Armaan. We need Max from next weekend, so will train with him after he recovers."

He moves closer to ask, "You think, I can't help you?"

She opens her mouth to speak, but Armaan informs with a confident smirk, "For your kind information, your husband knows boxing and can put up a good fight."

Kavya appreciates with a smile, "That's great, but you have to just attack, defending is my and Ruhi's job."

He demands, "Then what's the problem?"

Before she can answer, Ruhi jumps into their argument, "Kavy, we have new batches of basic course from Monday. When will we get time for training with Max?"

Kavya faces her to speak, but Ruhi states, "At least, we can begin with something now. Max is seeing, so we can resume with him some other day, when he will be recovered."

She asks after facing Max, "Right Max?"

Max agrees to help his boss, "Right Ruhi."

Ruhi faces a confused Kavya to explain, "Plus, Armaan is strong and muscular. Same as we need, so instead of wasting time in argument..."

She faces Armaan to instruct, "Armaan, attack her."

He gives her a thankful nod to which she winks in response and faces Kavya to ask with excitement, "So, let's start the practice."

Armaan steps closer, but Kavya steps away and orders, "Start with Ruhi."

Ruhi steps back and denies, "No. You start with Armaan, I will sit with Mary to observe and takes notes for planning the course."

Before Kavya can stop her, she grabs Mary's hand and turns to walk towards the bench to sit. Rihan chuckles silently at Ruhi's antics and move to sit on another bench with Max.

Armaan whispers, "I am attacking you, Mrs. Bodybuilder."

He moves to grab her arm and Kavya pushes his hand away, but he uses her distraction to immediately kick her left foot. Then without giving her a chance to react, he moves closer, grabbing her both wrists and twists them behind her back, while pulling her closer to join their fronts.

He tightens the hug by locking her hands at her back in a firm grip and comments with a smirk, "You are an easy catch."

Kavya glares at him and reasons, "I wasn't prepared."

He opens his mouth to reply, but Mary scolds from behind, "That's not the right thing to be said by the DID's co-founder."

Armaan smirks at Mary, before releasing Kavya and teases his wife, "It's alright, Mary. We can give one chance to the unprepared co-founder."

Ruhi giggles, making Rihan smile at her cuteness and offer her a bottle of water. She takes with a smile and continues to watch Kavya, who is gearing up to attack her smirking husband.

But she stops her, "Kavy, he needs to attack you, you cannot attack till his first move."

Mary whispers, "I am fearing, Kavya might punch him today with this constant teasing."

Ruhi giggles and whispers, "Well, Kavy suffered so much, so taking 2-3 punches shouldn't be a problem for Armaan."

Rihan whispers, "And I would love to see him with a black eye or broken nose."

The trio laugh in silence at their hilarious imagination.

While on the other hand, Armaan goes to grab Kavya's arm and she allows to twist her hand later, while turning around and twisting his hand in the process.

She presses her back to his chest and kicks his right foot, while leaning back to imbalance him.

But he wrap his other arm around her waist, while touching her entire belly and making her to freeze at her spot with the new sensation, awakening in her senses.

However, Armaan doesn't realise, what his simple stunt did and uses Kavya's immobility to his advantage. He turns her around, clenching her waist and bends to wrap his other arm around her body, while lifting her over his shoulder.

He walks a few steps away from everyone, while Kavya punches his back and dumps her on the grass gently before hovering over her. He covers her mouth with his hand and uses his other hand to pin her wrists above her head.

Armaan leans to whisper in her ear, "If you continue to be easy, you will be ravished by your attacker."

He tightens his grip on her wrists as she struggles to release them, but suddenly freezes as she feels his warm breaths against her ear.

Armaan whispers, "You are losing."

He lifts his face to his gaze with her innocent hazel ones and he uncovers her mouth to caresses her cheek lovingly.

She whispers, "Armaan."

He continues to caresses her cheek and whispers, "You are losing yourself to me, Mrs. Kavya Armaan Raichand."

Kavya fails to move, feeling paralysed under his captivating spell and finds herself drowning in his eyes. She knows, she has to react, this is a practice session, but something in his touch blocks away her rational thoughts. It forces her to stay with him, under his warmth and continue to stare in his eyes.

Ruhi clears her throat awkwardly and asks in a low voice, "Do we need to remind them, we are here?"

Rihan shakes his head in negative, but Mary grabs a whistle from her uniform pocket and blows a whistle to grab the couple's attention.

She yells, "Kavya, you won't get time during a real attack. Defend yourself now."

Kavya faces Armaan, pulling herself out of the daze and realises their position. She pushes him to his left and hovers over him. She wraps her hand around his neck and keeps him pinned to the ground, while dodging his hand movements.

While Ruhi and Rihan stare at Mary with confusion for making Kavya fight back.

She tells with a knowing smile, "Just as salt, something needs to have a specific quantity at a particular point of time. Overuse can spoil the entire thing."

They nod in understanding and turn to watch Kavya, raising her hand to punch Armaan, instead punches the ground, right next to his face.

Kavya whispers, "If we continue, you can land in a hospital."

He smiles and she stands after releasing his neck, making him get to his feet as well.

Kavya turns to walk back at their earlier position, but Armaan wraps his arm around her shoulders, pulling her back to press her back to his chest.

He attempts to lift her, but she bites his arm, making him yelp in pain.

Kavya giggles, while turning around and twist his other arm, which was wrapped around her shoulder. She kicks his right foot and lifts her knee in position to kick him, but stops at a minimal distance.

She states, "If this was a real fight, you would be crying in pain by now."

Rihan laughs, grabbing the couple's attention and Armaan stands, while glaring at him.

He yells, "Are you here for entertainment?"

Rihan teases with a chuckle, "Maybe."

Armaan glares at him before his eyes land on Ruhi and he asks her, "Ruhi, I guess even you should practice. Rihan can be your attacker."

Rihan's expression change from humour to horror within a second and he turns to find Ruhi, smiling at him.

She says with excitement, "Come, it will be fun."

He asks with fear evident in his eyes, "For whom?"

Armaan answers instead of her with a smirk, "For us."

Kavya and Mary giggle, seeing a scared Rihan as Ruhi gestures him to attack her before she walks towards the right.

Rihan follows her and thinks, how to attack her, but fails to come up with an idea as he fears to hurt her in the process.

Kavya frowns, as they continue walking for a minute, but Rihan doesn't attack her. She walks closer and whispers a method in his ear to which he shakes his head in negative.

Kavya whispers, "Rihan, don't be scared. She won't hurt you."

Rihan whispers, "What if, she gets hurt?"

She whispers with a reassuring smile, "She is habitual and strong, relax."

Kavya gestures him to go and he nods before following Ruhi again with an intention to attack her.

He waits till she nears the boundaries, then grabs her arm to turn her around and immediately pushes her back to pin her against the stone wall.

He covers her mouth with his hand and uses his body weight to restrain her movements. Then using his other hand, he grabs the fabric of her t-shirt, at the shoulder.

Rihan whispers, "Sorry."

He uncovers her mouth and she whispers, "Rihan, relax. We are just practicing."

He nods and she kicks both his knees, one after the other constantly, which loosens his grip on the fabric, so she can push his same hand away without tearing her clothes. He tries to get a hold of her hand to pin against the wall, but she kicks his knee before pushing him back to make him fall on the ground.

She lifts her foot to kick in-between his legs, but stops at the small distance and squeals with excitement, "Bull's eye."

Rihan laughs, laying on the floor and she giggles with him, enjoying the practice.

While Kavya giggles, watching them and Armaan smirks as he kicks her foot. She falls on her stomach as he pushes her at the same time and doesn't give her a chance to react. He pounces on her to lay over her back, while pinning her to the ground.

Kavya struggles to move with Armaan's entire weight over her back and moves her hand to elbow his face. But he moves at his left to save his face and she uses his change of position to her advantage by turning to her left with whole muscular power.

It causes him to shift and lay on his back, due to the impact. Then she presses her back to his side, then elbows his stomach. Without wasting a second, she sits up and elbows his chest gently before turning to wrap her hand around his neck.

She teases with a smirk, "Try harder, Mr. Raichand."

Armaan chuckles and he grabs her arm, which is still holding his neck and pulls her closer to make her fall over him.

He whispers, "I am trying, Mrs. Raichand."

She smiles, catching the hint in his words and moves her one hand from his neck to place on his chest, while other moves to cup his cheek.

Kavya whispers, "I know."

They continue to stare into each other's eyes and she unconsciously rubs the pad of her thumb over his stubble cheek.

But their moment is disturbed by the phone ringtone and Mary informs, "Kavya, it's your phone, your mother is calling."

Kavya immediately stands to grab her phone, but Armaan reaches before her, making her frown in confusion. She watches him, answering the call and pressing the device to his ear.

He greets Nimrit, "Good morning, Mamma."

Mary smiles to see him taking her advice to mingle with Kavya's family seriously.

Whereas Kavya, Ruhi and Rihan look at a smiling Armaan with wide eyes and mouth.

Dining Room, Kapoor Mansion, Delhi

Nimrit smiles, hearing her son-in-law's voice and greets him, "Good morning, Armaan."

Ranveer keeps the newspaper aside, hearing Armaan's name and mouths her to keep the phone on speaker.

She obeys and continues the conversation, "How are you?"

Nimrit smiles at his reply, "I am absolutely fine. How are you?"

Ranveer concentrates on his words with a frown and she replies, "I am happily having breakfast with your father-in-law."

Lawn, Raichand Mansion, Mumbai

Armaan takes a sip of the juice, offered by Mary as they are taking a break and watches Kavya, taking a sip of juice from her own glass.

So, he informs with enthusiasm, "Well, even I am happily having juice with your daughter."

Kavya chokes on her juice and coughs, while Ruhi rubs her back and gives a napkin to wipe her mouth.

Ruhi whispers, "He is talking with your mother as if she is his own mother and they chat on daily basis."

Before Kavya can reply, Rihan whispers, "Technically, Mrs. Kapoor is Armaan's mother as well, right?"

Kavya nods in response and watches her husband, talking with her mother.

Armaan talks on the phone, "I wish, I could come there with Kavya, but I am signing another contract tomorrow. So, I can't leave for the next one month. But why don't you, Papa and Myra come here."

Kavya's eyes widen in shock with his proposal, while he winks at her with a grin.

Dining Room, Kapoor Mansion, Delhi

Ranveer continues to concentrate on the conversation, while Nimrit talk on the phone, "We can't think to travel for the next 4 months. It's Myra's final year, she has assignment and presentations almost every week, then exams. My baby doesn't even have time to eat, she left for college after having just a glass of milkshake."

They hear Armaan's reply, "Oh! I can understand, final year is important, we can plan a vacation after her exams."

Nimrit smiles at his words and asks, "We can go on vacation anytime, but when are you taking my daughter for the honeymoon?"

Lawn, Raichand Mansion, Mumbai

Armaan faces a curious Kavya, who is trying to understand the conversation and answers to Nimrit, "Well, I would love to take your daughter for the honeymoon. But nowadays, she doesn't even have time for her poor husband."

Mary, Ruhi and Rihan giggle silently at Kavya's shocked face, while Armaan smirks at her and continues, "I have to spend my time, waiting for her to spare me a glance."

Kavya murmurs under her breath, "What the hell?"

Rihan moves away as he fails to keep his giggles in control and Ruhi bends to press her mouth on a grinning Mary's shoulder to silent her giggles.

Kavya glares at them before moving to snatch the phone from her husband's hand to press to her ear and complains, "Mamma, he is lying."

Armaan laughs at her words and snatches the phone back to turn on the speaker, so he can hear the conversation. He laughs harder as they hear Nimrit laughing on the other side of the phone as well.

She glares at Armaan and complains on the phone with a sad pout, "Mamma, even you are laughing. Where is my saviour, my Papa? Only he takes my side."

Dining Room, Kapoor Mansion, Delhi

Ranveer smiles at her words and shifts his chair closer to support his princess, "I am here, darling and I will always take your side."

They hear Armaan's words in response, "Not fair, Papa. I am your son-in-law and I came now in your life, so I deserve more support as Kavya and Myra have already received tonnes in the past."

Before they can reply, Kavya's words fill the air, "Stop with your melodrama, Armaan."

Nimrit teases her daughter by teaming with her son-in-law, "But he has a point sweetheart, he deserves our extra support now."

Ranveer glares at his wife and takes his daughter's side, "No, you annoying woman, my princess deserves super extra support."

Lawn, Raichand Mansion, Mumbai

Kavya shows her tongue to Armaan in victory and yells on the phone, "Thank you Papa, I love you."

Armaan chuckles, enjoying the conversation and states, "Mamma, let my wife have her father's support. You stand by my side."

Kavya teases him, "Fine then, we will even include Myra. We, three make the strongest team."

Armaan states with a smirk, "Mamma don't worry. I will never disappoint you."

Instead of Nimrit, they hear Ranveer's stern voice, "You better stick to your promise, Armaan. She is my queen."

Armaan promises with sincerity, "I will never ever disappoint you."

Ranveer replies, "That's good and we will talk later, I am getting late for the office."

They bid their farewell to each other before disconnecting the call.

Kavya winds up the practice session for today as they have supervision duty, while Armaan and Rihan have a meeting in an hour.

Dining Room, Kapoor Mansion, Delhi

Nimrit observes Ranveer's face and states, "You seem happy and.....relaxed now."

He smiles, taking her hand in his and explains, "Sometimes talking with your loved ones gives you motivation."

She smiles, caressing his hand and agrees, "Correct and they seem happy together, right?"

Ranveer nods, recalling the mail at the back of his mind and murmurs, "Very very happy."

Next Day

Raichand Mansion, Mumbai

At 4 pm, Kavya arrives after training in DID's advance course and falls on the couch, while tossing her handbag on the floor.

The first day of advance training begin with excitement, though it drained the energy of the girls even after a break of an hour between two batches.

They didn't even cook lunch and ordered food from out. Ruhi slept immediately after the second batch ended.

While Kavya was planning to do the same, except she compromised to sleep on the couch, instead of climbing the stares to reach her room.

After a few minutes, she feels a pair of familiar hands massaging her shoulder and smiles with closed eyes before instructing, "A little harder, Mr. Businessman."

Armaan chuckles, but nevertheless obeys and asks, "How was your day?"

She explains in a sleepy voice, "Exciting, enthusiastic, joyful then tiring, more tiring and even more tiring."

Armaan chuckles at her words and states, "Then sleep on the bed comfortably."

Kavya appreciates, "Good idea, but my muscles are paining and the room toooo far."

He offers, "Let me help you."

She frowns at his words, but soon feels him carrying her in his arms and opens her eyes to find him smiling at her. She rests her head on his shoulder, closing her eyes as he starts walking towards the staircase

Kavya asks with a frown, "But what are you doing here at this hour? And how was the contract signing and press conference?"

Armaan informs, climbing the stairs, "I thought to come early as I didn't had much work at the office. The meeting was excellent, they agreed to my terms and made the necessary changes. But the press conference was irritating, the media loves to mention the mishap, which happened two months back."

Unintentionally, she rubs his chest in a soothing way and explains, "They mention so that the world can know, Armaan Raichand is a genius businessman, who can solve any problem and give the best output."

He stares down at her to find her eyes closed and states, "You are exhausted, today."

Kavya agrees with a nod, "Very."

Armaan chuckles at her antics and makes his way towards his room, instead of her. He enters the room and places her on a couch, stretching her feet to rest over the coffee table.

Kavya opens her eyes with a frown and faces her husband, who informs, "Before you sleep, take a hot water bath."

She argues after realising they have entered his room, "But I have bath tub in my room as well."

He smiles and informs, "I know, but I have Jacuzzi with massage jets. It will help to ease the pain of your muscles."

Kavya grins, appreciating his offer, "I love your idea."

Armaan chuckles and assures, "You relax here, I will get the Jacuzzi ready, then will bring you a glass of the best wine, I own and Mary will get your clothes."

She nods, before getting comfortable on the couch and closes her eyes as he makes his way towards the bathroom.

An hour later

Armaan opens the door of his room after a knock to peep inside and finds Kavya on his bed, dressed in a tracksuit.

He makes his way to his exhausted wife after closing the door and removes his coat with tie to toss them aside. He unbuttons first two buttons of his shirt with the cuffs to fold the sleeves and removes his shoes before sitting on the bed.

Slowly he lays on his right besides Kavya, who is laying on her stomach with a layer of damp hair, covering her face. He rests his elbow on the bed and scoots up, trying to get a view of her face, but the hair doesn't fulfil his wish.

Armaan fails to stop himself from moving the hair from her face with his fingers and feels her shiver with his touch, but didn't open her eyes. He shifts closer and starts massaging her scalp as he did once, when she was sleeping. He sees her sighing in relaxation, making him smile and continue his actions.

He whispers, "Was it helpful?"

She murmurs in a tired voice, "Very."

He smiles and informs, "I have asked Mary to prepare dinner by 7, so you can eat and sleep early."

Kavya hmms in response and calls his name after a minute of silence, "Armaan."

He replies, while massaging her scalp, "Yes?"

She orders with closed eyes, "Every weekend, during the evenings, your bathroom is mine."

Armaan chuckles and informs, "Whatever I own is yours Kavya, you don't have to say, just use whenever you wish."

She smiles with a hmm and he suggests, "And if you want, you can shift to my room."

Kavya opens her eyes immediately after his last words hit her ears and she stares into his eyes with shock, evident in her own.

Armaan moves his other hand to caress her cheek with the back of his fingers and asks, "Do you want to?"
