YOURS

chapter 54

Anjali woke up with the slightly cool breeze flowing from the window, she was covered with a blanket though, hmmm.

As she slowly opened her eyes, she saw Raja there smiling down at her, she was sleeping in his lap, his hands were gently combing through her hair.

How long did she sleep for?

"You slept for five hours Rani, it is 8 in the night now" he answered her unasked question.

"Raja why did you not wake me up, your legs must be aching by now" Anjali said

But he just smiled and then bent down, and placed a soft kiss on her forehead, and then whispered in her ear

"Is your head that heavy Rani?" He said with a smirk

Stupid man, Anjali huffed and got up

"Your head is only heavy my head is as small as golf ball not like yours football" her nose and cheeks had become red due to sudden indignation.

And Rajendra starting laughing listening to her

"Yes,  yes laugh all you want" Anjali said, and crossed her arms below her chest

"Okok" Rajendra said raising his hands in a surrendering gesture, with palms up

"Now Mrs. Football head, please get ready, I wish to take you somewhere"

He said, and Anjali just glared at him

As he left her to get ready one thing was bothering him, that why was she crying like that?

Rajendra got dressed in a separate room, he wore black slacks and a mint green shirt, he always wore this color whenever he had something important to do and whats more it was Rani's favorite color. According to her it suited his dusky complexion well. He then wore his shoes and socks, and brushed his hair, he was feeling as nervous as the first time he had proposed marriage to his Rani.

He looked at himself one last time in the mirror, before he left the dressing room.

His breadth caught in his throat when he saw Rani coming out of her Room, she was still adjusting her earrings which gave him a perfect view of her neck as she was tilting her head on one side

She had worn a lemon color saree, which... was Rajendra's favourite, he had never expected her to wear this saree again

It was the initial days of their marriage and Rajendra had been waiting for Rani to come out so that they could go to the party, his new business associate had thrown, as his business associate and his wife had completed 10 years of their marriage.

He would give his Rani such a party every year to commiserate their marriage.

At the moment Rani had come out wearing a lemon yellow saree, and she was fixing her earring giving him a view of her beautiful neck, she had dorned very little jewellery, only her earrings, her nuptial chain, and bangles, she had painted her lips red, and was now smiling at him

Rajendra had groaned then, and had walked towards her, with a purpose and had taken her in his arms, bridal style, and she had shrieked in surprise

"What are you doing Raja?" She had asked widening her eyes innocently, though she knew quite well he was partial towards this particular shade on his wife, that minx, she had definitely worn this today so that he himself cancelled the outing, she had already objected to going

"What you wanted dear wife, we are not going, but you are definitely getting punished for this" he had said and she had just giggled at his words while encircling his neck with her arms, as he had taken her inside their bedroom again, and had shut the door with his leg.

Anjali smiled looking at his reaction, she had done it purposely and the reaction she got was worth it, Anjali had kind of forgiven him, but she will not let him off the hook soo easily, what he did, he had to pay for it, and Anjali will make him pay for it. Whatever the reason was he was supposed to be her Raja till end how dare he stray?

She smacked her lips, drawing attention to her red painted lips, and was satisfied when his eyes immediately zeroed in on her lips

"Minx" he muttered under his breadth

"What did you say?" She asked innocently, while pushing her hair strand behind her ear

"Nothing! We should leave now" Rajendra said and left from there in a hurry and Anjali chuckled looking at him

She followed him out, at a leisurely pace, and he was still standing there holding the car's door open for her

She sat in the car and he also sat in the driver's seat and started the car

After about fifteen minutes Anjali could not take it anymore she was waiting for him to say something as to where he was taking her? But he was quite and was looking at the road, soo seriously, not even glancing at her ones

"Rajendra, where are we going?" She asked finally

"Somewhere" he replied

Fine she can also do the same, she will also not tell him anything

"Two people can play this game my dear Rani" he said with a wink in her direction and again looked at the road with a grin

"Infuriating Man!" She muttered under her breadth

"Did you say something?" He asked as innocently as a new born babe, though Anjali had said it loud enough to make him hear

"Concentrate on the Road Grandpa, your ears are not working properly, what if your eyesight has also grown weak!" Anjali snapped

Rajendra just chuckled

In another ten minutes, they reached their destination, and before Rajendra could open her door for her, she had already gotten down

Anjali had barely taken few steps when she felt a hand covering her eyes

"Shh" Raja whispered in her ears when she was about to protest, fine have it your way then, she will humor him today

He guided her on uneven ground, the breeze was getting stronger, the more they walked and finally he made her stop and slowly removed his palm from her eyes and clapped twice

It was their pond, the pond which held soo many precious memories for them, the whole place was decorated with fairylights, there were lotuses on the the pond and there was a table set near the pond again decorated with lights, the beauty of the pond was overwhelming with moonlight reflecting on it, and the thousand stars coloring the sky, The place looked like something out of a fairytale. Raja was still standing behind her, his hands on her shoulders now, he then turned her towards right where there was a board embedded in the ground

"AnjaliRajendra" it said in beautiful bold handwriting

"Happy Anniversary, My love" he said in a soft tone, while he hugged her, his arms wrapping around her securely.
