Chapter 74: Part-73-1

"I don't know how to ask somebody out. I had never did this. This is my first time and embarrassingly I'm quite nervous about it." She smiled reading the lines written perfectly on white note. For once she felt proud on herself that she was his first for whom he had done so much efforts. "I had tried to make it as romantic but less cheesy as I can but apologies in advance if I fail to your expectations."  A little frown appear on her face as she read those lines. She looked up from the letter around to catch a glimpse of him. She wants to tell him that she always love whatever he do for her. No matter how big or small. She appreciate his efforts. He is happily willing to do everything for her only make her love him more. "But I know you will love me regardless of the way I propose you <3." The frown which have appeared earlier on her face vanished away reading this line. "Truth to be told I wished to make it extra special and memorable for you. Thought of various ideas. Googled as many as I could but found nothing as unique as my princess." She blushed as she read. Even his letters make her blush, she thought. "In the end I settled with this. Note. Because it is simple, easy, cheap, less time consuming, non exhausting. No. I choose this because this is our thing. Letters are our thing. I like the sound of 'ours' here more. Why to go with something which have been done already when we have our little thing. Isn't it? *wink*."  She was sure he was smirking while writing this line. She could feel it in his words. "See these talks made me off the topic. You always do this to me. Such a distraction you are. But fortunately a good one." She chuckled. "So coming back to our proposal then. Reasons why you should come out on a date with me. Nothing specifics. Just few normal points. You should come because I'll do everything to make this a memorable date for you. You should come because you are the first lady I'm taking out on a date. Yes! Fortunately unfortunately it is my first date. You should come because I'm your husband. Oh! That was dominating. You should come because this night is going to be everything you thought and much more. Promise. You should come because I LOVE YOU." Sanyukta breathed as she finished reading those lines. She could feel her Randhir in each of the words imprinted on the letter. There was nothing romantic in this letter but still it made her overwhelmed with emotions. If his letters could be so demanding and dominating how will the date be? She thought. Of course it was a yes from her side no matter how he would have asked her. This night gonna be really long. "If it's a yes, wear your red saree and come to the backside of the the house. I'm waiting. If it's a no, then also wear your red saree and come to the backside of the house. I'm waiting. We can have normal dinner as a husband and a wife." Ways to propose. She thought. Her husband really has no experience in all this. The letter was the clear evidence of his lack of ability in this forte. And this thought again made her heart swell in proud. He was doing all this for her. "Hush! Finally done. Honestly speaking I can guarantee that this would have been the worst proposal ever. I read it after penning it down and to me it sounded more like a business offer than a proposal to go out on a date. Points, specifics. I mean seriously Randhir. I even chided myself. I really need some romance classes or practice with you will just make me perfect. PS- I LOVE YOU." The letter ended keeping Sanyukta in a daze. She for a while was out of words. Surely her husband lacked skills of being romantic at times for currently that was not a issue to be worried about. This letter has he said was hardly romantic but she was glad it wasn't because it shows the real Randhir Singh Shekhawat who he is not the one he tried to be. He don't need to use sweet words to impress her or a long romantic speeches to daze her. She love him for what he really is. She love him with all his flaws and imperfection just like he love her. He remembered her wish and acted accordingly, can she ask for anything more? She never thought the thing she said jokingly that he will take it seriously. The feeling is beyond words to express what it is to have him in her life. She was darn stupid not to acknowledge his love before. --------------------------- Checking her reflection for the last time in the mirror, when she was confident that she looked presentable enough to be his date, she walked out of the room. He did so much effort for her, the least she can do is look good. Simple red saree, the way he asked her, with black border. A black small bindi and few bangles adoring her wrist. She walked outside the house towards the direction given by him. To back side of the house. With all things going inside her head for while she forgot that it was a beach house. So this is going to he a beach date. Her stomach jitters at the thought. Walking towards the place, of all the things he had done to the place, her eyes landed on her man who was standing near a beautiful decorated table fidgeting with the buttons of his tux. Surroundings can be appreciated later. She thought. For now all her concentration was on the man in the black tux. Black dress pant and white tuck in dress shirt with a black tux and red bow tie, the color matching her saree. He wasn't looking less than the Prince she has read in stories. The messed up hair of his was making him look more handsome than the Prince described in fairytale. "Hey!" She said standing beside him. The words came out much softer than required. She was nervous anybody could tell that by just looking at her. All she was not able to understand was her reason for being nervous. It wasn't that in front of her was somebody unknown. She know this man to well to tell anything about him in her deep sleep. "Hey." He greeted back still fidgeting with the buttons. That action of his was clear indication for her telling she isn't only one being nervous there. His condition was no less because was not a man to fumble with things. He always had a confident demeanour. "Let me do this." She said tucking in the buttons in the hole. "Thank you." He whispered. "You don't need to tank me Randhir." She said matching his gaze. "Hmm.." He nodded as his gaze pierced harder in hers. Sanyukta found his gaze intimidating. Never before his eyes hold this look that they have it today. It was sinful yet pleasurable. She wanted to bream the eye lock but something about him was not letting it break. Like he has compelled her to look into his eyes. Shutting her eyes she turned her head to other side. If she would have seen in those brown eyes for second longer, she was sure she could have melted in his arms. She slowly opened her eyes still looking other side. She could feel him scanning her from top to bottom. His gaze was making her feel like exposed but still she felt comfortable under his gaze. She let him had his ways. While he was busy scanning her she was busy observing the surroundings which she has ignored it earlier. The whole beach was decorated with candles and Chinese lamps the only source of lighting apart from the moon shinning above them and stars twinkling. In the hurry to meet him she didn't even noticed that the path she has walked through was filled with rose petals. The table on which they are probably going to have dinner was near the seashore. She could clearly see the waves hitting the shore and listen to the sound of same. The table too was beautifully lit with candles and flowers, giving the surrounding the smell of its own. "You look beautiful Sanyukta." He said  breaking the silence. To him she was looking ravishing enough to ditch the dinner process and have her instead. By way of her dressing he could tell she was looking a effortless beauty. Simple and elegant. The way be love her. "Questions and words for later princess." He interrupted her. He knew she has many questions to ask and he has many answers to give but they could wait. "Sit now." He said pulling our the sit for her. "Chivalry. Eh?" She mocked to break the formalness that has arrived from past few minutes. They had passed the level of being formal with each other.
