"I understand your concerns, but please hear me out. Dev is a good man. He's kind, caring, and he would make a wonderful husband. I know that Ruhi is young, but I think she's mature enough to handle this. And think about it, if Ruhi marries Dev, she'll be part of a loving family. We'll take care of her, and she'll never want anything." Dev's father tries to convince him.
"I don't know. This is a big decision. I'll have to talk to Ruhi and see what she thinks."
" Of course, I understand. But please think about it. We're in a difficult situation, and we could use your help. I promise you, we'll make it worth your while." Dev's father said.
At first, Ruhi's father was taken aback. He had never considered the possibility of his daughter marrying someone so much older than her.
But as he looked at Dev and his family, he could see how much they were suffering. He knew that Dev was a good man and that he deserved to be happy.
Ruhi was hesitant at first, but as she thought about it more, she began to see the potential in the idea. She knew that Dev was a kind and caring person, and she felt that they could make a good match. She agreed to the marriage, and preparations began immediately.
As the wedding ceremony continued, Ruhi exchanged nervous glances.

After the ceremony was over, they went home, Ruhi was sad and cried when she has to go away from her father. He was her only family.
Knowing that he will be always near she decided to go to her new home with her husband and his family, who are hers now.
Dev's family consists of Dev's parents and his elder sister who stays in abord but came here to attend his wedding.
She has this one cute little girl who is five years old. Who kept Ruhi busy in the car throughout the travel to Dev's mansion.
Dev did nothing but just stared at his newly wedded wife, playing with his niece.
As soon as they reached home Ruhi was taken inside the house with his family members. Dev immediately went to his room after completing the rituals when he got the call.
Ruhi was left with the family members. They were very sweet to her. After talking for a good amount of time Ruhi was taken to Dev's room.
She walked in and saw him talking on the phone with someone but soon ended as he sensed her presence.
silence was the only thing present in the room between them.
"I know it was very sudden for us," Dev started.
"Everything happened suddenly and I know it's hard to digest, " before he could complete his sentence Ruhi asked something he didn't expect.
"Do you love her," she asked.
"Who,"
"I don't know her name, you bride who ran away," she hesitated before saying it.
"Maya, Priya? See I don't even know her name properly. And here you asking do I love her, " he said smiling at her.
" Ohh, then, " she said.
" Then, what? " He asked.
She hesitated but he chuckled at her and then talked.
"Don't worry, till I get to make you fall for me I would even inappropriately touch you," he said making her widen her eyes.
" Ruhi... I fell in love with you the moment I saw you, love at first sight? Yes... I don't know if you remember but we met at the coffee shop outside two weeks back, "
" And that moment I fell for you, I tried to stop thinking about you but couldn't, and look today destiny brought us together, " he said smiling.
He is usually a cold person and never shows his tooth.
But he showed her his 32 teeth.
Ruhi was having so many emotions to even show it.
"It's okay I know it's very sudden for you, I will wait for and I will sleep on the couch and you can sleep in the bed," he said.
Ruhi felt bad and told him to sleep in the bed with her. He agreed without hesitation.
As the day passed the space between them in bed decreased. And a new feeling bloomed in Ruhi's heart for dev.
She never thought that this marriage would be a great blessing for her. The age gap was never an issue for them they both behave very friendly.
Dev and Ruhi were blessed with a cute little girl after their two years of marriage life. Ruhi even started to work under her father for a few days and then started her law firm beside her father to stay close.
Dev was very supportive of her at every step. Ruhi was more than happy to be with and spend the rest of her life with Dev.
Only if she knew that on the wedding day, the bride didn't run away but was kidnapped by Dev's man by his order.
That day on his wedding day Dev saw Ruhi with her father with his father talking with each other. He couldn't control himself.
He didn't know why he became so addicted to him then and there and decided that he will only marry her and not anyone else.
Then he got a plan and ordered his man to kidnap the bride. After the news broke out of the bride's runaway he went to his father and suggested he talk with Ruhi's father.
And just like that Ruhi is here today beside him sleeping in his arms peacefully.
-----THE END-----
Age gap 1/1
Start from the beginning
