With Rocky and Reena small on and off banter 4 months have already passed by. Till now Rocky was being relaxed. One reason is he knows he will marry her anyhow. It's just that he is giving her time to adjust.

When Rocky enters the room, he finds Reena a bit in the thinking process. Reena was confused about what to wear the next day, traditional or something western.

"Something wrong Shona." Rocky said, scaring her a little.
Her hands on her heart. She jumps with fear.
"Are you mad? At least inform."

"Why? There is nothing to fear Shona. Only I have the right to be here, no other man is allowed." Rocky stated the obvious.

Reena rubs her forehead. "Why are you here?"

"Dinner" Rocky smiles ear to ear.

"Its Ready? That soon. Fine I will have dinner later. Thanks."

"Noo, Shona. Dinner with me. Get ready." Rocky informs her.

"I don't want to." Reena refused.

"But I have already planned everything. It will all go waste. So you are coming." Rocky tug her few strands of hair behind her ear and left.
Reena gave him a 'seriously' look.

Rocky was waiting near his bike for Reena. They were not getting out of kgf. He along with few natives plan something nice. He was sure she will like it. He saw her coming out the palace.

She was wearing a dark blue mid thigh dress

She was wearing a dark blue mid thigh dress. She was radiant as ever. Rocky stand their watching her in awe.

Reena thought he was taking out of kgf but somewhere nearby place.

"Chale" Reena said.
Rocky nods like a kid. He points at his bike.

When Rocky didn't turn to take his bike towards the main door, Reena asked, "we are not getting out ?"

"No, why." Rocky asked.

"You said dinner." She half yells.

"I never said dinner out of kgf." Rocky clarifies.

"Then you should have been specific." Reena punches him weakly.

Rocky stops the bike towards the end of the lane and before the mines starts. They both get down. Rocky keeps his hand on his waist and stares at her.  "You always do this. First misunderstand things and then blame me."

Reena looks down and said nothing.

Rocky continues "but that's fine, that's what a wife do. Come."

As they were approaching the tables, Reena gets few looks from the ladies. They didn't said anything but they weren't use to the western type of dress. Some were awkward, some were complementing her with eyes. But Reena feel really uncomfortable. She thought they will be out in some local restaurant. Now in between the people and kids she feel embarased.
Little boys were bringing flowers, choclates and speaking broken English. Reena smiles at their attempt.

"I teach them." Rocky said proudly.

"Oh, you Don't need to tell." Reena replies with a smile.

It was all home made food. The people there made it with love for their Sulthan.

One of the kid said, "Didi thandi nahi lagti apko."
(Don't you feel cold)

Reena nods in no. But Rocky can see her goosebumps due to the cold night. Rocky gave his coat to her. She was hesitant at first but took it. She needed it. His coat make her comfortable. Rocky is always been her comfort zone.

The date was going fine. They were laughing and enjoying. Then Rocky decided to pop the question. "Which date should I finalize?"

Reena gave a look to him, then dig in to finish the food. Without looking at him, she said, "Don't you think, you need to ask this question to mother. After all you listens to her only."

Now Rocky glared at her.
"Reena, for the last time, just don't. You know everything, what she meant for me, Still you don't understand."

"And where did I stand." She half yells, not loudly though. "You didn't come back to me until she said so."

Rocky keeps his hand on her. He chin up her. Reena can see in his warm eyes the love for her. My mother is my world. And you.... I never thought that I can loose sanity over a girl. I broke my rules for you. Now you see where you stand in my life." Rocky finished. Reena can see his words weren't just words, they were reality.
The ride back to palace to silent. Rocky gave her a good night kiss on her forehead.
As a reaction, Reena holds his shirt. He loves his effect on her. How much she deny, she still is very much affected by him. They were standing extremely close. Reena tilt his head a little and there was hardly any gap left between their lips. Reena brushes his lower lip with her upper one. Rocky realised the effect works both ways. Reena has as much effect on Rocky as he has. Rocky can feel the fire inside him. He slide his hands on her back, giving a little push. Before they could continue, they were disrupted.
