CHAPTER – 44
The morning sun was still hours away when Kavya quietly got up around 4 a.m., preparing for the Karva Chauth rituals. Today felt special—a blend of tradition and excitement. She slipped into a simple yet elegant suit and salwar, which hugged her form perfectly, accentuating her toned figure from her gym workouts with Danish. Her face was fresh, a soft glow from her anticipation and the joy she felt in marking the day in her own way for Danish.
In the kitchen, she prepared and ate the sargi, a pre-dawn meal meant to sustain her through the day’s fast. The ritual felt almost sacred as she savored each bite, her thoughts filled with the excitement of the day's events and the bond she shared with Danish.
When she finished, she carefully tidied up the kitchen, setting everything in order for the day. Glancing at the clock, she knew it was time to bring Danish into the day’s preparations. Smiling to herself, she walked softly down the hall and into his room, where he was still fast asleep. She knelt beside him, gently touching his shoulder, whispering his name to wake him.
"Danish, wake up," she said softly, giving him a light nudge. “I need some help today. You did promise you’d be there with me.”
Danish stirred, opening his eyes slowly, a sleepy smile spreading across his face when he saw her. “You’re already up?” he mumbled, sitting up and rubbing his eyes. “And you’re all dressed up, too.”
She laughed, lightly touching his arm. “Of course! It’s Karva Chauth. There’s a lot to do, and I want it to be perfect. Besides, you’re the one who said you’d help, remember?”
Danish slowly opened his eyes, still adjusting to the early morning light, and there she was—Kavya, kneeling beside him, a soft, radiant smile on her face. Her delicate features, illuminated by the gentle glow of the early dawn, took his breath away. Dressed in a traditional suit that seemed to highlight her every curve, she looked ethereal, her eyes filled with warmth and a hint of excitement.
"Kavya," he murmured, a smile spreading across his face as he took in the sight of her. The sight of her so close and so quietly present struck him in a way he hadn’t expected.
As Danish held Kavya's hand, he gently guided her to sit on the edge of the bed. Without a word, he rested his head in her lap, feeling the softness of her touch as she instinctively brought her hand to his hair, running her fingers through it soothingly. The quiet intimacy of the moment wrapped around them like a warm embrace.
He closed his eyes, feeling her steady heartbeat beneath him, a gentle rhythm that brought him a profound sense of comfort. Kavya smiled, looking down at him, her own heart softening as she absorbed the trust and tenderness he showed her.
Danish slowly lifted his head from her lap, his eyes meeting hers with a softness that held a world of unspoken affection. He took a moment to look at her, taking in every detail—the way her suit dbangd elegantly over her shoulders, hinting at her toned figure, and the quiet glow that seemed to radiate from her.
“You’re looking gorgeous,” he murmured, his voice gentle yet full of admiration. He reached out, pulling her close, his hands resting lightly on her waist as he held her just inches away, allowing them both to savor the closeness.
Kavya blushed slightly, feeling a warmth spread through her at his words and the tenderness in his gaze. She felt his fingers trace small circles on her back, a gentle reassurance of his presence and care. She leaned into him, letting her head rest against his chest, listening to the steady beat of his heart.
For a few moments, they stood together in the early morning light, the quiet house around them. Danish pressed a gentle kiss on her forehead, his arms wrapped securely around her. “Today’s going to be special,” he whispered, and Kavya nodded, feeling a sense of excitement and gratitude fill her heart.
Danish pulled back slightly, his eyes still on hers, a soft smile playing at his lips. He tucked a stray strand of her hair behind her ear, and without a word, he gently guided her to lie back on the bed, his movements slow and full of care. Kavya felt herself relax completely as he settled beside her, wrapping his
arms around her in a warm, secure embrace.
He held her close, their bodies nestled together, and for a few quiet moments, they lay there in a peaceful silence, sharing a closeness that needed no words. Kavya felt his heartbeat against her, steady and comforting, grounding her in the present. She closed her eyes, savoring the warmth of his arms around her, feeling cherished and at ease.
Danish moved gently, shifting his weight as he positioned himself above her, his gaze soft and full of warmth. He rested his chin on her shoulder, holding her close as his arms enveloped her. Kavya felt a rush of calm and comfort, the sensation of his steady breathing against her and the quiet strength in his embrace making her feel cherished.
He held her this way for a while, savoring the warmth between them, the unspoken connection deepening in the morning's quiet. With his chin resting on her shoulder, he occasionally brushed his cheek against hers, a small, tender gesture that made her heart race with a quiet thrill. They lay wrapped in each other, content in the stillness, feeling closer than words could express
Kavya gently ran her fingers through Danish's hair, her touch light and soothing. She watched him as he closed his eyes, a soft smile spreading across his face, clearly savoring her gentle caress. Leaning in, she placed a delicate kiss on his cheek, the warmth of her lips lingering against his skin.
Danish lowered his lips gently from the side of Kavya’s neck, his kisses trailing downward in a soft, tender line. Each touch was slow, deliberate, as if he were savoring every inch of closeness. His lips brushed along her collarbone and down to her collar, where her heartbeat pulsed just beneath the surface. Kavya closed her eyes, feeling the warmth of his breath and the softness of his touch.
Danish let his lips linger, pressing a bit deeper against her skin as he reached her cleavage, his kisses warm and unhurried. Kavya's breathing grew a little heavier, and her hands found their way to his shoulders, pulling him closer.
Danish slowly parted his lips and kissed a bit deeper on her clevage. Kavya took a deep breath and Danish whispered babe your smelling so nice and fresh.
Now Kavya’s phone buzzed and she saw it was Rahul. Kavya reluctantly untangled herself from Danish's embrace, feeling a mix of warmth from their intimacy and a sudden chill of anxiety as she glanced at her phone. The name flashing on the screen brought back the reality of her situation—Rahul. Taking a deep breath to steady herself, she walked out to the balcony, hoping the cool morning air would help clear her mind.
"Hey, Rahul," she answered, trying to sound cheerful.
“Hey! How’s everything going there?” Rahul’s voice came through the line, filled with the warmth she had once cherished.
“Good! Just getting ready for the day,” she replied, forcing a smile even though her heart raced with the thought of Danish just inside.
Kavya's heart sank at Rahul's words, and she felt a tightness in her chest. “I’m really sorry, Kavya. I won’t be able to be with you for your first Karva Chauth. I know it’s important, but work is hectic here, and I can’t take any time off,” he said, his tone apologetic yet tinged with regret.
“It's okay, Rahul,” she replied, trying to keep her voice steady, though she felt a wave of disappointment wash over her. “I understand. Your job is important.”
“Just know that I’m thinking of you, and I’ll celebrate with you from here,” he assured her, but the distance between them felt larger than ever.
“I really wish I could be there to see you in your beautiful saree,” Rahul continued, his voice warm. “You know how much I love seeing you in traditional outfits.”
“Thanks, Rahul. I’ll send you pictures,” Kavya promised, her mind drifting momentarily to the saree she had chosen with Danish, the anticipation of showing it off mixed with the guilt of her secret.
“Just know that I love you, and I’m proud of you for keeping the traditions alive,” Rahul said, his words comforting yet distant.
“I love you too,” she replied softly, a twinge of sadness in her voice. As they ended the call, Kavya felt a mixture of emotions swirling inside her—guilt for being with Danish, sadness for Rahul’s absence, and an unexpected thrill at the thought of her day ahead.
She took a moment to collect herself, reminding herself of her commitment to her husband even as she stepped back into the room, where Danish waited, his eyes sparkling with mischief and warmth. The contrast of her two worlds hung heavy in the air, but as Danish smiled at her, that tension slipped momentarily from her mind.
The sun rose higher in the sky, casting a warm glow through the windows of the apartment, and the atmosphere was filled with a sense of excitement and anticipation. Danish, fully aware of the significance of Karva Chauth for Kavya, made it his mission to ensure that the day was as special as possible for her.
As Kavya moved about the house, dressed in her vibrant suit, she felt Danish’s presence beside her. He was a whirlwind of energy, taking on the household chores with a lightheartedness that made her heart swell. From preparing her favorite snacks for when the fast would break to tidying up the living room, he made sure that everything was perfect.
“Let me help you with that,” he insisted as Kavya attempted to arrange the decorations for the puja, reaching out to take the string of marigold flowers from her hands. His touch was gentle, and he leaned in closer, making her heart flutter.
“You should be resting today,” he said, a playful grin on his face. “You’re fasting for me, after all. The least I can do is take care of everything else.”
Kavya couldn’t help but smile back, feeling a sense of warmth and gratitude wash over her. This wasn’t just any ordinary day; it was a day that highlighted the deep connection they had forged over the past weeks. She watched as Danish maneuvered around the apartment, effortlessly shifting between tasks, all while stealing glances at her, as if reminding her of the love they shared.
“Are you feeling okay? You must be getting hungry by now,” he asked, concern etching his features as he placed a gentle hand on her shoulder.
“I’m fine,” she replied, though her stomach did grumble in response. “Just a few more hours until I can eat.”
“Let’s keep you occupied then,” he suggested, his eyes sparkling with mischief. He pulled her into the living room, where he had set up a cozy corner with cushions and fairy lights. “I thought we could spend some time here, just the two of us.”
Kavya's heart raced as she settled next to him. They talked, laughed, and shared stories, the intimacy of the moment wrapping around them like a warm blanket. Danish made her forget her hunger, his presence alone soothing her cravings.
As the hours passed, Kavya felt a wave of contentment wash over her. It was moments like these that made her feel cherished, loved in a way that felt profound. Danish kept her spirits high, constantly checking in on her, making sure she was comfortable and happy. He prepared a beautiful place for the evening puja, meticulously arranging everything with a reverence that made Kavya’s heart swell.
As evening descended, the soft glow of the sunset filtered through the windows, casting a golden hue across the room. Kavya stood in front of the mirror, her heart racing with a mix of excitement and nervousness. She had changed into the stunning saree she had purchased with Danish—a deep crimson color that accentuated her figure beautifully. The fabric flowed elegantly around her, and the intricate embroidery sparkled with every movement, making her feel like a queen.
Kavya carefully adjusted the chooda on her wrists, the bangles clinking softly as they settled into place. Each piece was a reminder of her commitment to the traditions she held dear, but also of the love she had found in this unexpected journey with Danish. The mangalsutra hung delicately just above her cleavage, its simplicity juxtaposed against the vibrant saree, symbolizing the connection she felt with both her past and her present.
She took a moment to admire herself in the mirror, the reflection showcasing not just her beauty but the confidence she had gained since being with Danish. Her hair fell in soft waves over her shoulders, framing her face perfectly, and she couldn’t help but smile at the image staring back at her.
While looking herself in the mirror she clicked few selfies and send it to Rahul.
As she stepped out of the room, Danish was waiting for her in the living area. The moment he laid eyes on her, his breath caught in his throat.
“Wow,” he whispered, his eyes widening with admiration. “You look absolutely breathtaking.”
Kavya felt her cheeks flush at his words. “Thank you,” she replied softly, the warmth of his gaze making her heart flutter.
Danish stepped closer, taking her hands in his. “This saree—it suits you perfectly. You look like a goddess.” He leaned in, placing a gentle kiss on her forehead, then pulled back slightly to meet her gaze. “I can’t believe you’re fasting for me today.”
“It feels special to do this for you,” she admitted, her voice barely above a whisper. “It makes me feel connected to you.”
Danish smiled, the sincerity in her words making him feel cherished. “And you are connected to me, Kavya. More than you realize.”
He led her to the balcony, where they could watch the sunset together, the sky painted in hues of orange and pink. The cool evening breeze danced around them, carrying the scents of the flowers from the nearby garden. They stood side by side, Kavya leaning into him, feeling the warmth of his body against her.
“Tonight is important,” he said, turning to her with a more serious expression. “It’s about more than just the rituals. It’s a celebration of us—what we’ve built together in this time.”
Kavya nodded, her heart swelling with emotion. “I know,” she said softly. “I want it to be perfect.”
Danish turned to her, cupping her face gently in his hands. “Whatever happens, it will be perfect because it’s with you.”
Their moment was interrupted as the stars began to twinkle overhead, signaling the arrival of the night. Kavya felt a sense of peace wash over her, knowing that this Karva Chauth would be unlike any other, a true celebration of the love and bond she shared with Danish.
As they prepared for the evening puja, Kavya felt ready to embrace the new traditions she was forming alongside him. The love they had cultivated was not just about passion; it was also about respect, companionship, and a shared vision for the future. Together, they stepped into this new chapter, hand in hand, ready to face whatever came next.
As the night deepened, the stars shimmered brightly overhead, creating a magical backdrop for the moment Kavya had been waiting for. Danish gently took Kavya’s hand, his thumb brushing softly against her skin, as they stood on the balcony, the cool evening air wrapping around them like a comforting blanket.
“Look,” he said softly, pointing to the sky. “The moon is rising.”
Kavya turned her gaze upward, her heart racing as she spotted the silvery orb peeking through the trees, illuminating the night with its gentle glow. It was a sight she had always cherished, but tonight, it felt even more special. This moon symbolized her devotion and the love she had for Danish, even if it was
unconventional.
“It’s beautiful,” she breathed, her voice filled with awe. She took a deep breath, the moment feeling significant as she prepared to break her fast. “I can’t believe this day is finally here.”
Danish stepped closer, his presence grounding her. “Are you ready?” he asked, his eyes locked onto hers, filled with warmth and understanding.
Kavya nodded, a mix of excitement and nervousness bubbling within her. “Yes. I just... I want it to be perfect.”
“It will be,” Danish assured her, his tone soft but confident. He went to the kitchen and brought a beautiful silver thali, adorned with intricate designs, holding a small glass of water and a sweet delicacy. “I want you to enjoy every moment.”
Kavya smiled, her heart swelling at his thoughtfulness. “Thank you, Danish. For everything.”
He smiled back, his eyes sparkling in the moonlight. “It’s my pleasure. You deserve to feel cherished today.”
As she was ready to break the fast with Danish her phone buzzed up and it was Rahul. Danish took the thali from her hands and stepped aside to give her a bit privacy. She picked up the call and Rahul was praising her the way she looks. She said thanks to Rahul and Rahul again said sorry to her and said kavya you can break your fast now by looking at me in the video call and he smiled. But kavya wanted to break the fast with Danish so she just faked that she sipped the water and ate something. Rahul got really happy and after sometime Kavya made an excuse and cut the call.
Now Danish came back to the balcony with thali in his hands. He then took a step back, giving her space to perform the ritual. “Now, look at the moon and offer your prayers. Then, you can break your fast.”
Kavya closed her eyes for a moment, gathering her thoughts and centering herself. She felt the cool breeze brush against her skin, reminding her of the sacredness of the moment. Opening her eyes, she looked at the moon, its brilliance captivating her. She whispered a silent prayer, thanking the universe for the love and connection she had found.
With her heart full, she turned back to Danish, who was watching her with an expression of adoration. “You can break your fast now,” he encouraged gently.
Danish picked up the glass of water and raised it to her lips, her eyes locked on Danish. She took a sip, feeling the coolness refresh her after a long day of fasting. Then, she reached for the sweet delicacy and took a small bite, savoring the taste.
As she finished, Kavya couldn’t help but feel overwhelmed by emotion. “Thank you for being here with me, Danish,” she said, her voice thick with gratitude. “This means the world to me.”
Danish stepped forward, closing the distance between them. “I’m here because I want to be. You’re worth celebrating, Kavya.”
Feeling the warmth of his words, she leaned in and wrapped her arms around him, pulling him close. In that moment, they shared a soft kiss, the taste of sweetness lingering on her lips. It was a kiss that spoke of love, understanding, and a future they were both eager to explore together.
The morning sun was still hours away when Kavya quietly got up around 4 a.m., preparing for the Karva Chauth rituals. Today felt special—a blend of tradition and excitement.

She picked up the call and Rahul was praising her the way she looks. She said thanks to Rahul and Rahul again said sorry to her and said kavya you can break your fast now by looking at me in the video call and he smiled. But kavya wanted to break the fast with Danish so she just faked that she sipped the water and ate something. Rahul got really happy and after sometime Kavya made an excuse and cut the call.
Now Danish came back to the balcony with thali in his hands. He then took a step back, giving her space to perform the ritual. “Now, look at the moon and offer your prayers. Then, you can break your fast.”
Kavya closed her eyes for a moment, gathering her thoughts and centering herself. She felt the cool breeze brush against her skin, reminding her of the sacredness of the moment. Opening her eyes, she looked at the moon, its brilliance captivating her. She whispered a silent prayer, thanking the universe for the love and connection she had found.
With her heart full, she turned back to Danish, who was watching her with an expression of adoration. “You can break your fast now,” he encouraged gently.
Danish picked up the glass of water and raised it to her lips, her eyes locked on Danish. She took a sip, feeling the coolness refresh her after a long day of fasting. Then, she reached for the sweet delicacy and took a small bite, savoring the taste.
As she finished, Kavya couldn’t help but feel overwhelmed by emotion. “Thank you for being here with me, Danish,” she said, her voice thick with gratitude. “This means the world to me.”
Danish stepped forward, closing the distance between them. “I’m here because I want to be. You’re worth celebrating, Kavya.”
Feeling the warmth of his words, she leaned in and wrapped her arms around him, pulling him close. In that moment, they shared a soft kiss, the taste of sweetness lingering on her lips. It was a kiss that spoke of love, understanding, and a future they were both eager to explore together.
