Her Heart Keeper ✔

~ 26 ~

Avi pulled her towards him as those small bangs of her hair were disturbing his view. She was startled at first but soon got relaxed, feeling his touch. She glared at him while he gave her a cheeky smile.

Both of them were lost in each other when someone cleared their throats from behind. They turned around and saw Vani and Arpita giving them a teasing look. Maya hugged him, feeling shy, while the three of them chuckled, looking at her.
 
Some people at the venue adored them. They even praised Maya for her baking skills. Vani, Arpita, and Avi felt proud of her. They thought to talk with her after going home. Harini dragged Anu and Harsh to the dance floor, while Nithya (Harsh's mother) dragged Avinav and Maya. Arpita and Vani sat in a corner, looking at them. Yash was at home with the twins. He said he would be at home looking after the twins as he gets less time to spend time with them. Shekar hasn't returned from Mumbai yet.

Avi placed his hands on her waist while she shuddered at the touch of his skin on hers. They slowly swayed their bodies to the music. He saw some men looking at his Bunny, so he pulled her towards him, making her jerk and land on his chest. He held her possessively and gave them a glare. He turned her around, making her back hit his hard chest. He nuzzled his face into her neck, making her weak on her knees. He inhaled the smell of her hair and placed a kiss on her nape, making her clutch his hands tightly. 
 
He then lifted her and twirled her around while she giggled like a kid. He joined his forehead with hers, and both of them stayed like that. Their moment was broken by loud applause. That's when both of them realised that they had an audience. He put her down and rubbed his nape, embarrassed. He blushed a little, and his ears turned red. On the other hand, Maya's condition was no less; she was blushing profusely while looking at the floor as if there was something interesting.

Both of them went towards Vani and Arpita. Maya hugged Arpita, feeling shy. Arpita laughed, looking at her baby sister, and patted her head. Soon they moved to have their dinner as it's already getting late, and Yash must be having a hard time handling those naughty munchkins. Soon, they left for home after informing Anu's and Harsh's families.

********************

As soon as they reached home, Arpita, Avi, and Maya got settled on the couches lazily, while Vani left for her room. Yash came down after switching on the baby monitor while the twins were sleeping. He came and sat beside Arpita. She snuggled into him, placing her head on his shoulder. He kissed her head and caressed her hair lovingly. 

Arpita: Did they sleep?

Yash: Hmm.

"I missed you", Arpita said, pecking his lips.

"I missed you too," Yash said, pulling her more into him.

Avi looked at the couple in front of him with adoration. Fifteen years of their relationship and five years of their marriage, and they still behave as newlyweds.
 
"Oy, go and change and sleep. You guys must be tired," Yash said, picking up Arpita in his arms while she put her arms around his neck.

"We will definitely sleep. But I guess that doesn't apply to you both," Avi said, picking up Maya in his arms, who was fast asleep.

Arpita blushed, listening to him.

"Please keep your voice low; otherwise, my two munchkins sleep will get disturbed. Or if you want, I can take both of them to my room, you see," Avi said, winking at them.
 
Listening to this, Arpita hid her face in Yash's neck.
 
"Shut up, you idiot. I'll definitely get my day," Yash said, moving towards his room, not before telling Avi to take the twins to his room while Arpita pinched his hands.
 
Avinav shook his head at them and moved towards his room with his sleeping beauty in his arms. He opened the door with his leg, made her lie on the bed properly, and went to change.
He came after getting freshened up and changing into nightwear and saw Maya tucking the twins into bed. He chuckled, came and sat beside them, and told her to go and change. Soon she came after changing and slept on her side. Avi kissed three of their heads, and soon they went into deep slumber.

Keep smiling and take care ❤️
