My Innocent Love Story

Chapter Forty Four

Randhir's PoV:

As soon as I woke up  I saw Sanyukta looking at me with her lips curved into a smile. I felt relieved to see her smile after days. Her cheeks were red with a blush which was quite  evident on her face. It took me a second to realise that she was in my arms and our legs were entangled with each other. Her messy hair was making her look so natural and so beautiful that I felt an urge to kiss her right away  but somehow I controlled myself and cleared my throat to gain her attention . I asked her if she's alright to which she just nodded. I cracked some stupid joke and made her laugh. Thankfully she was back to normal.

The sun was brighter and the wind was cooler . I had decided that I would take her out on a date and confess my feelings to her . I went out to plan a perfect date with her making an excuse of meeting my friends . Well I did meet my friends for an hour but I was planning my date for the rest of the time. I went to a nearby mall and purchased a saree for her. I reached home by 6 in the evening . I went straight up to our room and called her out . I hid the packet behind my back and asked her to get ready for our date. She was surprised at first but then she nodded and went to the cupboard to get her clothes when I forwarded the packet to her. She took the packet and went to the bathroom to change while I got myself dressed up for the evening. She came back after five minutes wearing the saree that I had gifted her , looking   exceptionally beautiful.  She  stood there in the middle of the room sweet and silent like a bride on her wedding night. And I felt privileged and desperate to scoop her up in my arms and do all those things to her which were my right as her husband . I came out of my world of fantasy when I heard her voice.  I asked her to get ready and come downstairs in the parking area where I would wait for her.

Soon we were out of the Shekhawath Mansion driving through the busy roads of Hyderabad. Then it struck me all of a sudden that I had forgotten to give her flowers before asking her out  as per what Karan had suggested when we were planning it out. Damn...How could I forget it. Anyways It was  never too late. I parked the car on the side of a road where I had seen a florist's kiosk . I wanted it to be simple. So I purchased a Rose for her. I walked back to the car and gave it to her. She took it with a smile which I loved to see on her lips.

Soon we drove towards the antique market. I had seen her buy old stuff quite a few times but I wasn't sure whether she likes it. Bringing her here of all places on our first date was a risk. What would she think of me if it turns out to be otherwise?? And all my doubt seemed to true when she frowned looking out of the window. I was quite nervous by then. I confessed that I had seen her buy antique stuff so I brought her there and then the next second her eyes grew wide and she hugged me in excitement. I was taken back for a moment by her sudden gesture, but soon felt relaxed in her arms and hugged her back. We roamed in the market for a few hours where she purchased few things. Then we walked our way to a nearby restaurant and had biryani. I remembered she told me last time that she loved eating Hyderabadi Biryani.
She was about to thank me for the evening but I wasn't done with it yet. I had to propose her and tell her what I  really felt for her.

We drove for another half n hour to the place where I finally wanted to take her . The place looked more beautiful than I had expected. It was secluded at this time with no one around . It was just the two of us , the stars and the moonlight which was reflecting on the river and  illuminating the ambience.

I bent down like a gentleman and asked her for a dance. She placed her hand in mine in acceptance while I played a song on my phone . We both swayed to the beats of the rhythm.  The cool breeze was adding more ingredient to the romantic ambience. I was about to confess my feelings to her  when  she interrupted me  in between and said she wanted to go home.
