The clock showed 12:42 AM.
Wrapped in Yuvraj’s oversized hoodie and a soft shawl over her shoulders, Yukti stood near the front gate of Rajvansh Mansion, looking up at the moon.
“Tum sure ho, kitten?” Yuvraj asked, unlocking the car. “Thoda fever bhi tha…”
“I just want to breathe, eat something cold, and feel human again,” she said softly. “It’s suffocating inside.”
Yuvraj looked at her face—pale but glowing under the moonlight. “Alright. Let’s go for a drive.”
She smiled faintly, and just as they stepped into the car, Yukti turned.
“Yuvraj, wait—let’s take Yugant too. He’ll feel bad.”
Yuvraj nodded. “Good idea. You call him.”
She dialed.
“Yugant?”
“Bhabhi? Aap itni raat ko thik ho?” came his concerned voice.
“Haan, bas thoda mood kharab tha… toh hum log ice cream ke liye ja rahe hain. Tum bhi chalo na?”
“Aap bula rahi ho toh mana kaise karun? Bas 5 minute mein nikalta hoon,” he replied warmly.
1:10 AM – On the Road*****
All three sat in the car, with Yugant in the back seat, watching his bhaiya and bhabhi quietly chat. Yukti kept looking out the window like a kid seeing the world for the first time.
“Bhabhi,” Yugant said after a pause, “aapko thoda rest lena chahiye. Kal evening me reception bhi hai…”
Yukti turned and smiled. “Haan Devar ji, I’ll sleep after this. But thank you for coming.”
He nodded, a bit shyly. “Yuvraj bhai ke face pe muskaan sirf aap hi laa sakti hain. Toh main toh aapka fan ho gaya hoon.”
Yukti blushed slightly while Yuvraj gave his brother a teasing glare.
“Stop flirting with my wife,” Yuvraj muttered.
“Bhabhi meri bhi toh thodi si hai... rishtedari mein,” Yugant laughed.
1:45 AM – Midnight Ice Cream Party****
The car stopped at a famous 24x7 dairy bar just outside the city.
Yukti happily ordered a chocolate fudge sundae, Yuvraj settled for vanilla almond, and Yugant picked a butterscotch cone
The trio sat on the car bonnet, under the stars, talking about random things—hospital chaos, Dadisa’s taunts, and marriage madness.
“Waise bhabhi,” Yugant spoke between bites, “shaadi ke ek din ke andar hi raat ko ghoomne ka plan... kaafi adventurous hain aap.”
Yukti wiped her chocolate-stained lips with a tissue. “Mood swings are unpredictable. Like your Instagram captions.”
Yugant gave a knowing smirk.
2:30 AM – The Drive Back***
Yukti’s energy began to fade. The soft wind, sugar crash, and emotional tiredness caught up with her
She slowly rested her head on Yuvraj’s shoulder, closing her eyes. Within minutes, she had dozed off.
Yugant watched quietly from the backseat. “She’s asleep?”
Yuvraj nodded, tucking her shawl closer. “Haan. Tired.”
At the mansion gate, Yuvraj gently stepped out, then walked around and opened Yukti’s door. Without waking her, he slid one arm under her knees, one around her shoulders, and lifted her into his arms.
She murmured something in sleep, curling against his chest.
Yugant, silent for a moment, felt something stir in his heart. Then—click!
He captured the soft, dreamy moment on camera.
No joke this time—just pure admiration.
Next Morning – The Viral Picture***
Yukti sat on the breakfast table, sipping her tea, yawning.
Suddenly, her phone buzzed.

📸 “Some moments don’t need words. #RajvanshLove #MidnightMemories”
Picture: Yukti sleeping peacefully in Yuvraj’s arms, her face calm, his eyes protective. No teasing caption. Just a story.
Yukti's eyes widened. “Yugant?! You posted this?”
He walked in with a cheeky grin but folded hands. “Respectfully bhabhi, maafi chahunga. Par logon ko asli pyaar dikhana zaroori tha.”
Yuvraj chuckled. “You’re lucky she’s still sleepy.”
Yukti blushed, hiding her face with her tea cup.
“Shaadi ke pehle I was the doctor of the hospital. Shaadi ke baad I’ve become national bhabhi goals,” she muttered.
Yugant saluted. “Mission successful.”
Scene Ends.
