Entangled in a marriage

(16) The angel beside me..

                 

Raj:

I looked at the angel  beside me sleeping.She looked quite curious about where am I taking her.She thought I am taking her to Europe or  US or a private Island. But no!I am taking her to our Indian Ocean's Famous Island,Maldives.The city is Male'.Ok!I am a billionaire.So?Is it necessary for me to buy a Island.I don't think so.I even never felt it.

We were nearing the city when I decided to wake her up.She opened her eyes to look down.Suddenly she asked me,"Is it Maldives?"

I nodded.She said,"Great!I know everything about this city,Male.You know Malé is the  and most populous city in the . With a population of 153,379 and an area of 5.8 km2, it is also one of the most densely populated cities in the world. The city is geographically located at the southern edge of North Malé Atoll .Administratively, the city consists of a central island, an airport island, and two other islands governed by the Malé City Council.

Traditionally it was the King's Island, from where the ancient  ruled and where the palace was located. The city was then called Mahal. Formerly it was a walled city surrounded by fortifications and gates (doroshi).

The Royal Palace (Gan'duvaru) was destroyed along with the picturesque forts (kotte) and bastions (buruzu) when the city was remodelled under President 's rule in the aftermath of the abolition of the monarchy. However, the  remains. In recent years, the island has been considerably expanded through land-filling operations. Over the years, Malé has been the center of political protests and milestone events."

Ok!She knew everything.I didn't know really so much.Did she study it?I could just blankly stare at her.She finished her lines in one breath.

Then she looked at me.

She-"You didn't know this right?"

I nodded.

I-"I thought I would make you roam this place.But how you know so much about this city."

She-"I had a Indian client,Mr Thapar.He always believed in our firm.He liked all our designs.So when he bought a home in Maldives,I was sent here for 1 month.I roamed and saw every shop what could have influence on the architecture of his house.I mean,he wanted it to be blend of Indian beauty and Maldives beauty.You see the serene beaches here,it describes the perfect silence.But I must say rain is pretty unpredictable.My 10 days plan had been then 1 month.Thanks to my friend.I got to know this beautiful city."

I was speechless but then she talked of some of her friend.Being curious,I asked,"What friend?A male friend?"

She looked at me and came near me and said,"No!It was a female friend.My bestie Khushi."

I breath happily.The pang of jealousy was in peace.

She-"Jealous Husband,huh?"

I-"What?"

She-"I know you were jealous."

She started to laugh when pilot announced we were going to land.We looked at each other.

After landing,we entangled our hands together and she said,"We are going to break many barriers of our family."

I-"Really?How?"

She-"First couple to talk really after 6 months.First couple to go on honeymoon after 6 months.And first couple, where the wife would make husband know about this town."

We both smiled at each other and gave a kiss on her forehead.

Little did she know,what I had planned for her......
