Radhikaa's suspicion increased when Rihaan was texting in his phone, turning to the other side of the bed.

"Rihaan..." She crooned and that startled him.

"Han... Ruby, aren't you asleep?" He asked.

"What are you hiding from me?" She asked.

"Nothing Ruby. I was just setting the alarm."He muttered, placing the cell phone beneath his pillow and turning to her.

"It's late Ruby. You need a proper sleep." He said, patting her shoulder.

Soon she went into slumber and after a few hours, she didn't feel his presence beside her and woke up, slightly rubbing her eyes. She searched for him in their room and headed towards the stairs.

She descended the stairs, holding her tummy and saw the dark hall area. She went towards the switch board. Before she switch on the lights, she saw candle lights, being lit one after the other in a sequence.

Those lights actually made sense, making a pattern on the ground and she finally said it loud, reading " Happy one year of togetherness" She could guess the entire strategy now. A wide smile spread on her lips and soon the lights went on.

Rihaan came to her with a flower bouquet,went on his knees and kissed her tummy.

"Thanks for being in my life Ruby." He muttered, getting up and it was almost like a whisper as all the other members of the family came to them, hooting a very happy 1st anniversary.

Everyone greeted the couple and had a mini family treat. A cake cutting and celebration. Later, everyone went to their respective rooms and Ruby was about to go back to her room.

"Wify..." Rihaan muttered.

"Han..." She turned back.

"I've something else too" He mumbled, which made her soft cheeks, glow more radiant.

He took her to their terrace, holding her hand and without any wriggling moments, they reached the terrace area of the building.

There were a few gifts, glowing in the candle lights, a swing full of soft flowers and soothing music being played. She was busy registering things and Rihaan took a second of diversion from her and came back with a packet in his hands.

"All these?" She mumbled.

"All these are for you." He muttered, lovingly.

He offered his hand and they danced eying each other. Their world froze there and then. After a few minutes, she was feeling a little tired and he sensed it.

"Go and collect your gifts Ruby. We will go back." He murmured.

She went to each of them and collected them, one by one.

"We will go now. You can see them in our room." He muttered and when, she was about to descend the steps, he took her into his arms in the Indian bridal style and she hid her face in the crook of his neck.

"Don't tickle me. I may lose the balance." He muttered with a smirk.

"You won't leave me. I know you." She mumbled, matching her vision with his.

Later, they returned back to the room and he placed her gently on their bed.

She started opening the gifts and he was busy capturing all her expressions in his video cam.

The first gift was a baby picture. She smiled seeing it and kissed the pic.

"I want my baby to be as good as you Ruby." He muttered.

Second one was a jewelry box. She opened it and saw a chain with a heart locket. She opened the locket and saw one side of it has their pic and the other side was empty.

"The other side is waiting for our baby's picture Ruby." He murmured and her smile went wide.

The third gift was a dress. She saw the extra large sized dress and giggled.

"This is for tonights party. " He mumbled and she blushed a little.

The 4th one was a baby diary. She checked it and smiled ear to ear.

"I want every moment our parental life to be cherished. So, we will fill this diary together." He muttered and soft tears started brimming in her eyes.

"No tears Ruby, I'm recording it, after all" he tried to lighten the mood.

"Han, Every gift is for your baby. No importance to me at all." She muttered, making a pout and wiping her happy tears.

He went to her and finally gave a letter and when, she was about to open the letter, he muttered, " Read it after your delivery and this is only for you my life" placing a kiss on her forehead, for which she nodded and hugged him in an eternal embrace.

Later, their lips latched into one, capturing the ethereal moment of their life in their breaths.
