She hesitated, her silence speaking volumes. He understood her struggle, the unspoken desire for him to remain by her side. "Listen," he said, trying to lighten the mood, "how about this? Freshen up, go downstairs, and tell everyone that Devraj Garu is not feeling well. You can do some drama, and I'll make a few phone calls. Then, I'll be all yours for rest of the day. How does that sound?"

Anika's eyes widened in surprise, and a smile began to form on her lips. "You really think I can pull off a convincing act?"

"Absolutely! You're a natural actress," he replied, grinning. "And besides, who would question the king's health? It's the perfect excuse!"

She laughed, the tension easing between them. "Alright, I'll give it a shot. But you better make those phone calls quickly!"

Devraj leaned in, planting a soft kiss on her lips. "I promise. Just you and me together."

Anika's smile widened, her spirits lifting

Anika's smile widened, her spirits lifting. She landed on him for few more kisses "I can't believe you would do this for me"

"For us. Now go on, my queen," he said playfully, giving her a gentle nudge. "I'll be right here waiting for you."

As she got up to freshen up, Devraj felt a renewed sense of hope. They had shared something special, and he was determined to make the most of their time together, even amidst the responsibilities of being a king. Today was theirs, and he intended to cherish every moment.

As Anika stood in front of the mirror, brushing her hair and getting ready to face the world, Devraj couldn't help but admire her from the bed. She was radiant, her cheeks still slightly flushed from their earlier moments together. A smile crept onto his face as he watched her, feeling a warmth in his heart.

Unable to resist, he got up and walked over to her, wrapping his arms around her waist from behind. "You're glowing today, Anika," he said softly, resting his chin on her shoulder. "I don't know how I missed this before."

Anika giggled, her heart fluttering at his compliment. "Maybe you were too busy being a king to notice?"

Devraj chuckled, planting soft kisses on her cheek, making her giggle even more. "Or maybe I was just too busy falling for you," he teased, his voice playful.

She turned her head slightly, her eyes sparkling with mischief. "Flattery will get you everywhere, Devraj garu."

"Good to know!" he replied, grinning. "But be careful with Maa. She's so smart; she'll catch your lies in a heartbeat. If she catches you, I'm not going to help you!"

Anika turned to face him, her expression suddenly serious, but the way her brows furrowed made it look comically exaggerated. "What do you mean you won't help me? You're the king! You're supposed to protect your queen!"

 "What do you mean you won't help me? You're the king! You're supposed to protect your queen!"
