His love Her sanity

17. Australia!

Avyaan

We sat for dinner and she served for both of us. We started eating and she asked me a few questions regarding my color preferences. I was confused as the question came up suddenly but answered her anyway.

"Rana Ji, can you do me a favor?" She asked fidgeting her fingers. She does that whenever she wants to ask something but is not very sure of the outcome. This habit of hers never changed since our childhood. 

"You have rights so stop asking favors," I replied feeding her a spoon. She nodded took the bite and smiled at me after that.

"I want Siddarth bhai's suit size," She uttered hesitantly, tucking back her hair. Why does she need Sid's size? I furrowed my eyebrows at her unusual request.

"Woh... I am planning to design a suit for him. That day when you dropped me I brought few materials for him." She replied as I was silent. I thought she was planning a surprise for me but here she is asking my help to surprise my brother. That lucky bastard! My biwi hasn't given me any gift yet and is planning to give a surprise to him!

"Why are you designing his clothes?" I asked which came out in a little high pitch with irritation clearly evident in my tone. I didn't intend to utter those words in such a way but jealousy got the best of me and the words were out before I could stop and rectify myself.

"Woh... he paid for me when I went for our Roka shipping and he declined to take money. So, I was thinking of gifting him a suit." She replied playing with her food. I held her hand and kissed the back of her palm to calm myself down and assure her that I am not angry but I am!

"Okay. I will get that for you." I replied with a smile and she beamed in delight. Even though I am not happy with that idea, if she wants to gift him then let it be. I don't want my jealousy to make her feel sad. 

"Thank you!" She said, pulled me down, and kissed my cheek. The action was so sudden and she was back in her place before I could catch her. I can let that idiot off-hook if gifting him makes her kiss me and smile like this.

"Umm... you have pasta at the corner of your lips." She said pointing to my right side. Why should I wipe it? Let her do it. I started wiping my left side and after trying three times she came closer to me and wiped my lips. 

I held her hand before she could take it back and licked her fingers looking straight into her eyes. A blush crept on her cheeks making me smile. I kissed the tips of her fingers and her gaze turned down as a sweet smile adorned her lips.

"We should go now. It's getting late." She said looking at her mobile as it pinged with her brother's message. Her hand was still in mine and I bit the tip of her finger making her turn to me with a frown. I kissed the finger I bit on and left her hand.

We both got up and walked out hand in hand. We got into the car and I took her home. She kissed my cheek before running in. Why are her reflexes so fast or it is me who is getting lost in the sensation of her kisses and am unable to hold her before she skips away?

This girl will be the death of me! I muttered to myself and drove off to the palace.

I saw Maa sa and Chachi sa sitting in the main hall discussing something and looking at the phone. 

"Pranam Rana sa!" A worker wished me and passed me a glass of water. I drank it and sat on another single sofa near the ladies. They were so engaged in seeing something in the tablet that they didn't even notice me.

"No Jiji! This one will be perfect." Chachi said showing something to Maa sa.

"No Priya! This one will look perfect on our Nitya!" Maa said swiping away what Chachi was showing.
