AAHANA POV:

My heart skipped a beat and raced as Rihan asked me how I would feel if someone else ever gifted him flowers. I was taken aback, completely surprised and shocked. While we were enjoying his favorite cheesy white sauce pasta, I couldn't help but notice that he seemed distant, as if he was forcing himself to appear unaffected. It made me wonder if he was truly bothered by the thought of someone else giving him flowers.

Until that moment, I had been so happy. Rihan is my sunshine, the star in my dark life. Every emotion he experiences, I feel it too. It's as if we are connected on a profound level. I remember how he made me fall for him completely, how he could make me laugh even in the toughest of situations. His words have the power to brighten my world and make me feel cherished. Since that day, my love for him has only grown stronger.

I couldn't stop overthinking about why he was upset over someone else giving me flowers until I saw the beautiful bouquet he had brought for me on the tea table when we returned home. Perhaps he thought I wouldn't accept his gesture, or maybe he was sad because I hadn't told him about the meeting. It could even be that he was disappointed I wasn't there to receive the flowers he had specially chosen for me. But knowing Rihan, I know he'll be okay. he couldn't stay silent for long, even if he is feeling sad or curious.

Suddenly, I heard Rihan's voice softly whispering, "Aaha, wake up, it's already seven in the morning." His fingers gently traced across my face, from my forehead to my brow.

"Good morning, love," I greeted, opening my eyes to find him beside me, propped up on his elbow, a warm smile adorning his face.

"Good morning, sweetheart," he replied, planting a sweet kiss on my lips. "Get up, we need to attend the meeting."

"Of course, why not," I responded, rising from the bed and finding my place in his arms, where he adjusted himself to accommodate me.

"Aaaha, aaaaha," a familiar voice suddenly echoed through the room.

"Are you hearing that too?" I asked, turning my gaze towards Rihan.

"Hearing what?" he inquired, but before he could finish, Kavya's voice interrupted, shouting, "Aaaha, wake up, it's already seven in the morning!" And just like that, I jolted awake, sitting up in bed.

"What the fuck did i just-?" I paused, taking in the sight of Kavya sitting beside me, perched on her toes.

As I let out a sigh, I could still feel the remnants of that dream lingering in my mind. "Did what?" she asked, curiosity evident in her voice. I ran my hands through my hair, trying to shake off the remnants of the dream. "Nothing," I replied, my voice tinged with a hint of dismissal.

Stepping out of bed, I cast the blanket aside and greeted her with a bright, "Good morning!" I wanted to distract both myself and her from the strange dream. "So, you're Siddharth's girlfriend now? How does it feel?" I asked, a mischievous smile playing on my lips.

"Hmm, tumhe subah utaya kisne?" I playfully teased, raising my voice to make it more amusing. "Sidharth ne?" Her cheeks flushed a rosy hue, and a smile danced across her face.

But as I watched her reaction, I couldn't help but wonder if she had spent the entire night texting Siddharth. "Wait, wait, did you really stay up all night just because of Sidharth?" I exclaimed, my shock evident. She looked away, guilt washing over her. "Umm," she muttered, unable to meet my gaze.

Shaking my head, I turned towards the bathroom. "Relationships are such a mess," I muttered to myself, stepping into the bathroom and shutting the door behind me.

As I stood in front of the mirror, I couldn't help but reflect on the events of the morning. The dream of that silly monkey kissing me still lingered in my mind. It wasn't that I didn't enjoy it, but the whole idea felt repulsive. I silently hoped that I would never have such dreams again. For years, I had cherished dreams of seeing Rihan, but dreams like these were just... eww.
