"60. A Long Awaited Reunion"

"Uske badan par khilti hai saree aise,
Jaise chandni bikhar rahi ho raat me.
Uske aanchal ka sparsh mere chehre par aise,
Jaise mehkti hai vo mere har jazbaat me"

(Rudraksh)

Ruhanika had excitedly asked Rudraksh to take her on a date, a reward she felt she deserved after acing her mid-semester exams. She had worked hard, and now she wanted to celebrate. Rudraksh, being the ideal husband that he was, didn't think twice before agreeing. In fact, instead of simply saying yes, he took it a step further and asked her where she wanted to go and how she envisioned her perfect date, wanting to make it perfect for her. 

Knowing that she had never experienced the luxury of a seven-star hotel, Rudraksh went the extra mile and made grand arrangements. He booked an exquisite dinner at one of the finest seven-star hotels, ensuring that every detail was tailored to her preferences. But he didn't stop there, wanting to make the experience even more memorable, he also reserved a luxurious suite for them to stay in for a day. His thoughtfulness and effort left Ruhanika thrilled, making her feel cherished and appreciated for all her hard work.

At that moment, Ruhanika handed Rudraksh his clothes and sweetly instructed him to change in another room. Rudraksh raised an eyebrow in curiosity, wondering why she was sending him away instead of letting him get ready in their usual space. Sensing his confusion, Ruhanika simply smiled mischievously and said, "I have a surprise for you," before playfully pushing him toward the other room.

Still puzzled but intrigued by her excitement, Rudraksh decided not to question her further. With a small chuckle, he shook his head and went off to change, wondering what she was up to. As he buttoned his shirt, his mind kept drifting to the surprise she had planned.

Rudraksh was in the middle of a call, his attention focused on the conversation, when suddenly, a soft fabric brushed against his face. The unexpected touch made him pause, and instinctively, he closed his eyes, inhaling the delicate scent that accompanied it. A slow, knowing smile formed on his lips, it was a fragrance he could recognize anywhere. The soothing, familiar scent of his love. 

Just as he reached out to touch the fabric, it slipped away, teasing him. He opened his eyes, only for the same fabric to graze his face once again. This time, he chuckled, his curiosity piqued. Without wasting another moment, he swiftly caught hold of the fabric, feeling its smooth texture between his fingers. His smile deepened as he gently pulled it away from his face, his gaze lifting to meet the eyes of the one who had orchestrated this playful moment. His heart warmed at the sight before him, eager to see what surprise she had planned next.

The moment Rudraksh's eyes landed on his wife, he completely forgot to breathe. It was as if time had momentarily frozen, leaving only her in his vision. Standing before him, Ruhanika looked nothing less than ethereal, draped in a royal blue saree that hugged her curves in all the right places, accentuating her elegance and grace. The deep blue contrasted beautifully against her glowing skin, making her look like a vision of perfection. 

Her wrists were adorned with delicate blue bangles that jingled softly as she moved, complementing the golden jhumkas swaying gently in her ears. Her expressive eyes, lined with kohl, held a mesmerizing charm, and the small bindi adorning her forehead only enhanced her beauty. Her lips, painted with a subtle nude shade, curved into a soft smile, while her minimal yet flawless makeup highlighted her natural glow. 

Around her slender neck, she wore only two ornaments, her simple gold chain and the sacred nuptial chain that bound them together in love. Her long, lustrous hair flowed freely, cascading over her shoulders like a silken waterfall, making her look even more breathtaking. As his eyes traveled lower, he noticed the delicate silver anklet gracing her ankle, paired with traditional juttis that completed her look. Even without towering heels, her 5'6" frame stood perfect in front of him, exuding confidence and beauty that needed no further enhancement. Rudraksh felt his heart skip a beat. He had always found her beautiful, but tonight, tonight she was beyond words.
