Armaan's Room

At 1 am, Armaan enters his room after reading the contract of his new project in the study room.

He yawns, making his way towards the bed, but stops when his eyes land on the bag, placed at the right side of the room. He remembers, it is Kavya's bag, which has the clothes and accessories, she shopped for him.

Suddenly his tiredness fades away as he walks at his right to grab the bag. He places it on the bed and unzips to open.

Grinning as a kid, Armaan finds 5 t-shirts of different colors with 3 jeans and 1 trouser.

He counts innocently, "With the t-shirt and jeans I wore at Veer's place for dinner, Kavya got total 6 t-shirts, 4 jeans and 1 trouser for me."

Resuming to explore the treasure with a concentrated frown, he finds a black wallet and 2 bottles of perfume with 2 belts, 1 watch and 2 sunglasses.

He counts again, "One perfume I took earlier, so total 3 perfumes, 2 belts, 2 sunglasses, but only one wallet and one watch."

Armaan complains to himself, "I love watches, but she just got one and I hate wearing belts, that she has got two. I need to tell Kavya more regarding my likes and dislikes."

He wears the watch and smiles impressively, but when his eyes land on the belt, he feels sad and murmurs, "If Kavya has got those belts for me, then I will wear it."

Armaan removes the watch and places on the bed carefully. Then he stands to walk towards his wardrobe and opens to search some space for his new clothes and accessories.

Unable to get enough space, Armaan pushes his expensive yet designer suits aside to create some room. He finds some extra hangers at the last shelf and grabs them to hang the t-shirt and jeans.

Moving back to the bed, he unfolds the t-shirt and grabs one hanger. He tilts the hanger in different angels to understand how to hang his clothes, as this is the first time, Armaan is organising his clothes on his own.

He murmurs in confusion, "How do you use this annoying thing?"

After trying for 5 minutes with no success, Armaan grabs his phone in frustration and dials Mary's number.

The moment she answers the call, he orders, "Mary, come in my room NOW."

Armaan disconnects the call and meanwhile grabs the perfume bottles to place them in his dressing table.

The door of his room opens after 2 minutes and a worried Mary enters, searching for Armaan.

She walks towards him and before she gets a chance to utter a word, he shoves the unfolded t-shirt and hanger in her hands.

He asks in frustration, "How do you hang a t-shirt?"

She gazes the hanger and t-shirt in confusion, then faces him to ask, "What?"

He asks in clearer words, "How do you hang a t-shirt in a hanger?"

Mary asks with a frown, "Are you serious or you want to take revenge for not letting you sleep last night?"

Armaan assures, "Mary, yesterday night was helpful because I got to learn a lot. I even complimented Kavya today and she was happy, so why would I take a revenge on that? Now I am seriously asking you, how to hang clothes in a hanger."

She asks in disbelief, "So, you SERIOUSLY called me at 1:25 am for asking this?"

Armaan nods innocently and Mary scolds, "Armaan, one day you will give me a heart attack. I thought, something has happened or you and Kavya are again arguing. You know, I came running here with concern and what problem I find? Just a hanger."

He makes an apologetic look and confesses, "I am sorry, but I want to learn this now, please."

She sighs and sits on the bed. She demonstrates, how to tilt the hanger and tuck the shoulders of the t-shirt to hang it systematically. Armaan grabs another hanger and t-shirt to try with the guidance of Mary and succeeds.

Mary smiles, glancing at the bag and asks, "So she finally gave you this bag."

Armaan asks with a frown, "You knew?"

She answers with a nod, "Yes, I saw this bag when I helped her in organising her wardrobe. She bought these gifts from her savings of her salary."

He demands in shock, "What?"

Mary continues after a nod, "Her father never allowed her to contribute at home, so she usually saved her salary to buy gifts for her family members. During marriage, she had saving of six months, which she spent entirely on you."

She lowers her gaze and informs sadly, "But on that day, she was very upset because you left for your business trip without informing and giving her a chance. She wanted to give you everything and spend quality time with you, because prior to the marriage, you had to come to Mumbai and couldn't spend time with her."

Armaan sits on the bed, remembering the wedding night, when Kavya had confessed, she missed him. He clenches his fist, realising the amount of her expectation he has killed unknowingly. Her teary eyes and sad face flashes in front of his eyes, awakening his guilt.

Mary moves closer, sensing his sadness and states cheerfully, "Armaan, don't be sad now. You have understood your mistake and are making efforts for fixing your relationship. Plus, Kavya is accepting you and even gave you this bag, assume it to be your one big successful step."

Armaan sighs and informs, "She even paid rent on Sunday and still paying for food and car."

She responds, "Well you can take that as a reminder to work hard."

He agrees with a nod, "Yes, I will and thanks for taking care of her in my absence."

Mary smiles and encourages Armaan to not be sad, instead enjoy the small achievements.

She even demands to see all other gifts, which makes him happy again and he shows everything with excitement.

Delighted to catch a glimpse of an innocent child in Armaan's actions, Mary believed, one day, he will become the person, which he was earlier.

Mary helps him to organize everything and leaves the room after the bag is empty.

Armaan sits on the bed to zip the bag to set aside, but being over excited, he checks the bag again to find any more gift. He even checks the pockets and partitions greedily and finds an over size envelope.

He frowns and opens to find few papers inside. He flips the envelope, dropping the pages on the bed and his heart skips a beat when he sees the content of the papers.

Early Morning

Kavya's Room, Armaan's Mansion

Kavya exits the bathroom after a bath and dressed in an orange colour t-shirt with white and black leaf design print. Her hair are damp and she uses a towel to dry them. She moves towards the dressing table and starts getting ready for the day.

While brushing her hair, the memories of Sunday night and Pizza lunch at Ruhi's place clouds her mind, bringing​ a smile on her face.

Her smile increases, recalling his image from Sunday night, when he wore the clothes, she had shopped for him. She even recalls the dinner at the terrace on Saturday night and his efforts to know her. Plus, the way he had shifted closer to her, while eating pizza yesterday.

Kavya couldn't deny, the recent changes in Armaan where he has expressed his care and affection for her, where he has accepted and understood everything she said, made her happy.

The way he held her hand, caressed her fingers and kissed her forehead increased her love for him, however this time she wasn't scared, she knew his efforts are genuine and believed one day everything will be perfect, as she had dreamed.

Suddenly her smile drops and eyes widens, recalling something, "He took the entire bag......it has those papers......no."

Kavya throws the hair brush on the dressing table and rushes towards Armaan's room.

Armaan's Room

Armaan walks out of the bathroom after taking a bath and only a towel is wrapped around his waist.

He walks towards his wardrobe to remove his clothes when the door of his room suddenly opens and he turns around to find Kavya at the doorstep.

Kavya enters the room, while searching for Armaan and her eyes land on her half naked husband.

Her eyes widens and she immediately turns around, making her back face Armaan.

He chuckles at her reaction and starts walking towards her.

Armaan comments, "Kavya, you have fabulously unique ways to wish good morning. That day you pushed me off the bed and today you barged into my room. How do you get these ideas?"

Kavya plays with her fingers nervously and apologises, "Sorry, I didn't-"

She stops, feeling his presence right behind her and Armaan leans to whisper near her ear, "What you didn't?"

Kavya lowers her gaze and stammers, "I...I didn't knew....you were in....in this state."

Armaan smiles and teases her, "Oh and why you were in hurry? So desperate to meet me and wish good morning?"

She plays with her fingers and bites her lower lip, only to release it, when she feels his right hand holding her elbow.

He whispers after inhaling her fragrance, "Your selection in perfume is amazing."

Kavya shutters, "Th...thank you."

Armaan smiles and asks, "Now tell me, were you desperate to meet me?"

She answers in a weak voice, "No, actually I...I came for the bag, I gave you on Sunday night?"

Armaan smirks, remembering the papers and she asks, "Where is the bag?"

He answers, "At your right, Madam."

Kavya turns to the right, while avoiding to stare at her half naked husband, who is standing right behind her.

She finds the bag against the wall and whispers a thank you, before going to grab the bag.

But the moment she lifts the bag, she frowns, feeling it weightless. Armaan observes her actions and walks closer to stand behind her.

He asks from behind, "Any problem?"

She asks in response, "Why is the bag empty?"

Armaan informs, "Because I kept the clothes and accessories in my wardrobe. Perfume in the dressing table and the wallet is placed on the bed, which I will start using from today."

Kavya lowers her gaze, as her lips curl up in a beautiful smile, knowing he has not only accepted everything, but also started using them.

Armaan leans towards his left, still standing behind and smiles, watching her happy with his answer.

Suddenly Kavya realises something and asks, while panicking, "Wait, that means, you have removed everything from the bag?"

He smirks, straightening up and whispers near her ear, "Yes EVERYTHING."

She gulps in nervousness and asks, "Did...did you even see the envelope?"

Armaan acts innocent and asks in response, "Envelope? Which envelope?"

Kavya frowns and questions, "You didn't get any envelope from this bag?"

He lies, "No."

She thinks, 'How is it possible? I remember, keeping that envelope in this bag.'

Kavya kneels on the floor and opens the bag to search for the envelope. Armaan observes her actions carefully, while standing beside her.

He thinks, 'Sorry Kavya, even after promising, I am lying to you. But I can't return the envelope.'

Armaan bends to hold Kavya's arm, once she fails to find the envelope and helps her to stand. He pulls her closer by wrapping his arm around her waist and her hands land on his bare chest. He used his other hand to list her face by holding her chin.

Armaan demands, staring in her eyes, "Was there something important in that envelope?"

Kavya stammers, "No...nothing important."

The pain and worry in her eyes didn't go unnoticed by Armaan, who moves his hand from her chin to her cheek and caresses it gently.

He asks, "Are you sure? You look concerned."

She shakes her head and assures, "I...I am not concerned."

Armaan accuses with a smirk, "You are lying to your husband, Mrs. Raichand."

Kavya looks away and asks in response, "How can you say that?"

He smiles to himself and states, "Kavya, I know you enough by now."

She turns to face him and finds sincerity in his eyes, while he caresses her cheeks and stares back into her eyes.

Armaan whispers, "Tell me, Kavya. Why are you so concerned?"

Kavya denies, "I...I am not."

He sighs and reasons, "Kavya, I am confident, you are concerned because if you were not, then you wouldn't have stood so close to me, when I am in this STATE."

Kavya frowns in confusion and Armaan gestures towards his bare chest, making her eyes follow the direction.

Her eyes widens and she pushes Armaan back to release herself from his grip, making him chuckle.

She turns to leave the room and Armaan stops her, "Where are you going? Our discussion is pending."

Kavya informs, without turning back, "I...I am getting late for DID and you are getting late for office, no time for discussions."

She leaves the door, while closing the door and Armaan laughs, while shaking his head.

He moves towards his wardrobe and unlocks his safe to remove the envelope, which Kavya came to find.

Armaan moves towards the bed, while removing the paper and sits to see them again with a smile.

The papers have sketches of Armaan and Kavya in different location and situation created by her.

The first two sketches were of Armaan alone. One of only his face and another of his full form in a formal suit, standing in an office cabin.

Whereas other sketches have both Armaan and Kavya. In one, they are sketched walking under the moon with connected hands, in other they are having a candle light dinner, in another they are sitting in a lawn and in last they are cooking in kitchen.

Armaan promises, "Your every wish, every dream will be fulfilled Kavya, just give me some time."

Kitchen

Kavya enters the kitchen for breakfast and exchanges greetings with Mary, then takes her seat on the kitchen stool.

She asks, "What's for breakfast today?"

Mary announces, "No breakfast today."

Kavya demands sadly, "Why?"

Before Mary could reply, Kavya hears Armaan's voice, "Because we are going out."

Kavya turns to find her husband standing at the kitchen entrance, wearing a navy blue t-shirt and dark blue jeans with the tag heuer watch, which she had gifted him. He walks closer and stands in front of Kavya, who inhales the musky fragrance of the cologne which was again gifted by her.

Armaan informs, "We are having breakfast out, today."

Kavya reads the time from her wrist watch and asks, "At 6:15 am, we will have breakfast out? Which place will be open at this hour?"

He forwards his hand and states with a smirk, "Any place will be open at this hour, if Armaan Raichand wants."

Kavya rolls her eyes at his statement, making him chuckle and Mary smile.

Armaan grab her hand, resting at her sides and requests politely, "Come with me."

He gently caresses her knuckles with his thumb, making her stare in his eyes and agree with a nod. He smiles and escorts her towards the exit.

Mary smiles, watching the love blooming between them and resumes her work.

Armaan's Car

Armaan informs, while wearing the black Ray Ban sunglasses, gifted by Kavya, "Max will reach directly at Ruhi's place."

Kavya nods with a smile, seeing the sunglasses and he starts driving the car towards the exit.

Kavya enjoys the breathtaking view of the sunrise, resting her head against the glass window and Armaan keeps stealing glances of her.

He takes a right turn and halts after driving for a minute, outside Starbucks cafe.

Kavya frowns and turns to watch her husband, who has unbuckled his seat belt and opened the door. He asks her to stay inside and she obeys with a nod.

Kavya watches her husband, entering the cafe and murmurs, while chuckling, "Poor workers had to open the cafe so early because of Armaan."

After 5 minutes, Armaan returns with a large paper bag. He sits on the driving seat and removes his sunglasses to tuck in his t-shirt. He grabs one cup from the bag and offers to Kavya.

He informs, "Your mild coffee with one and a half spoons of sugar and two spoons of cream."

Kavya immediately shifts her gaze to Armaan in shock and watches him removing two blueberry muffins with oatmeal and raisins cookies.

He forwards one cookie to Kavya, while taking a sip from his black coffee, but frowns when she doesn't react and keeps staring at him.

Armaan asks with concern, "What happened? You don't want this?"

Kavya asks in disbelief, "You....you remember?"

Armaan smiles, recalling the day prior to their engagement, when he had picked Kavya from her home to discuss their engagement outfits.

They had coffee with same favour of muffins and cookies in his car because the cafe was completely crowded and Kavya wished to stay in the car for some privacy. At that time, she had even specified her taste in coffee.

He leans towards her and states, "Yes, I do remember somethings and I thought, this time will be perfect to relive that moment, right Ms. Kapoor?"

Kavya nods and Armaan breaks a small piece of the cookie to feed her, while assuring, "I am trying to remember other things as well, I will fulfil my promise."

She whispers, "Thank you."

He nods in response and forwards the cookie towards her mouth. She eats and he breaks another piece to eat himself, then gestures her to drink coffee.

A constant smile laces her lips as Armaan talks and discusses with her, their preferences, while enjoying the breakfast.

His enthusiasm to know her, increased her joy and she finally started sharing her opinion, before he can ask. Her participation gave him the needed motivation to keep working hard for their relationship.

Armaan informs after they finished eating and started driving, "By the way, I will be staying at home today. Remember the new client, I had mentioned?"

Kavya nods and he continues, "There are certain important and confidential matters, which can't be discussed at office, so Rihan is coming home now and we will discuss in the office room."

She nods in understanding and Armaan drives inside the gates of the building, where Ruhi stays. He parks the car and walks towards Kavya's side to open the door for her.

She steps out with a smile and Armaan informs sadly, "But when I get into deep business discussions, I don't realise time and surroundings, so maybe I won't call or message you today."

Kavya assures him with a smile, "That's alright Armaan, I know work is important and I am a businessman's daughter, so don't worry, we will talk during dinner."

Armaan smiles and opens his mouth to speak, only to be interrupted by phone's ringtone. He answers, seeing Rihan's name on the screen and gestures a minute with his finger to Kavya.

While Armaan was busy informing Rihan, which documents he need to bring at his place, Kavya's eyes lands on two girls, standing at a distance towards the left side.

She frowns, noticing them gawking at Armaan with a shameless grin and feels anger rising in her senses.

Kavya murmurs, "Shameless girls."

She faces Armaan to find him engrossed in the serious discussion and wasn't aware of the girl's stare.

Kavya glances at the girls again and finds one of them lifting her phone, while another girl is giggling at the screen.

Understanding the girl's motive of clicking HER husband's photo, Kavya's anger increases and she holds Armaan's arm to turn him around so his back is facing the girls.

Armaan frowns at her action and before he can voice his confusion, Kavya drags him towards the driving seat.

He questions, "Kavya, what are you doing?"

Instead of answering him, she snatches the phone from his hold and speaks on the phone, "Hello Rihan, Armaan is driving and will call you after 15 minutes."

She disconnects the call and Armaan reacts in shock, "What?"

Kavya ignores his words and opens the driving side door. She forcefully makes Armaan sit inside and throws his phone on the co-driver's seat, making him completely confused.

But before he can ask, she orders, "Go home and talk with Rihan. I am getting late for DID."

Kavya shuts the door and gestures him to go. Armaan sighs in helplessness and starts driving towards the exit.

She smiles when his car exited the gate and turns to glare at the girls. The girls turns to walk away, pretending they didn't notice anyone.

Kavya enters the building, murmuring curses for them under her breath.

Ruhi's Apartment

Ruhi welcomes Kavya, who moves towards the bedroom to change in tracksuit for the training.

Her phone rings with a message notification and she grabs to read Armaan's message.

Armaan's Msg- Don't remove the anger of those "shameless" girls on Ruhi or your poor students, they weren't gawking or trying to take my picture.

Kavya's jaw drops after reading the message and she murmurs, "He noticed."

Another message arrives and Kavya opens to read it nervously.

Armaan's Msg- To be honest, everything is your mistake. First you gift me stylish clothes and make me center of attraction, then get angry. Not fair, Mrs. Raichand.

Kavya rolls her eyes playfully and types a message, while smiling.

Kavya's Msg- Use of cell phones while driving is a crime, Mr. Raichand and you have important work, right?

Armaan's Msg- Thanks for your concern, but I am not driving. Open the bedroom window.

Unknowingly Kavya grins and hurriedly moves towards the window. She opens and finds Armaan's car across the street.

The window of the car slides down and Armaan smiles, when their gaze meet.

She smiles and gestures him to go, but he keeps staring at her and waves his hand. She waves back and keeps standing at the window.

A constant smile laces their lips as they continue the eye-lock from a distance.
