Ahana's pov

"Where the hell are you Ahana?"
I heard a tensed and loud voice of my husband over the phone making me close my eyes and bite my lip in nervousness. Taking a deep breath,I cleared my throat replying

"Randhir...I dropped you a message right that I have came out with Ruhi for some shopping?"

"That was almost four hours ago and now it's evening already! I know you better that you are not someone who takes this much time for shopping so spill the beans Ahana. What are you upto?"
I literally cried smacking my head at my bad lying skills but had no other option. I can't tell him the truth right now as it would ruin everything. Still trying to act cool and keeping my calm I said

"Why do you think I am lying Randhir? You don't trust me?"
I heard sighing from the other side as he replied

"You know it's not about trust Ahana! Right after the puja you left without even meeting me with just leaving a message on my phone. Everyone was asking about you both and they were worried. Anyways leave that aside and please finish whatever work you have fast aur jaldi wapas aao. I am missing you!"
I pouted at his sweet words and just wished to hug him tightly but that can wait.

"Don't worry Randhir! Maybe just half an hour and we'll be back at the hotel!

"Okay! Come fast,bye!

"I love you!"
I said to which he chuckled replying

"I love you more!"
And ended the call.
Bass? I love you more? Arre aage baby laga dete,jaan laga dete. Love, Sweetheart, darling itne saare endearments hai but nahi. Itne formally I love you bola,jaise apni nhi padosi ki wife ho! Huhh!
My mouth twisted in annoyance thinking this but I would make sure it won't last longer. Infact it's just a matter of few hours and I am keen on bringing my old Randhir back completely. That is why I had came out with Ruhi to make some arrangements for tonight which will be for us and us only. No anger,no jealousy,no misunderstandings. Just us.

"Chalo Ahana let's go!"
Came Ruhi's voice as she came out of the chemist shop. I frowned looking at her because without even waiting for me,she hastily made her way to the car and sat inside. Something is really up with her and I definitely know that. Though she was all teasing and chirpy as she came to know about my plan for Randhir but her smile looked dull. Anyways coming to the car,I sat inside too and the driver started towards our hotel. Ruhi kept looking out of the window while my eyes were on her thinking what can actually bother her. I don't know if I have the right to ask her but from the time I married Randhir,she has became as close to me as Swara and I hope she feels the same. Still I hesitated asking her and the whole ride we were quite. We reached in twenty minutes and came out of the car. Talking on our way to the respective rooms, we bid our bye and as I entered my room,I frowned finding it empty. Keeping the shopping bags aside, I removed my phone to see a message from Randhir stating he's in the gym. At this time? Shaking my head,I came out of the room and roaming around for sometime,I found the gym area finally but my breath hitched as my eyes settled on Randhir doing bench press with I don't know how much of weight but damn he looked sexy.

The sight made me gulp hard as I saw his muscles flexing and sweat trickling down his body which I could see as he was just in his gym shorts. His face contoured as he lifted the weight and his veins on the head was all visible. I could only imagine how heavy the weight must be but he did everything with ease as if he does this everyday. My god,I don't think that coming here was right.

"Umm... Randhir?"
Calming myself as much as I could,I called him out softly which made his gaze shift to me. Stopping his work,he stood up and came close to me but I ducked my head down blushing for some reason or maybe there was just some different kind of intensity in his eyes which raised my heartbeat.

"You have seen me literally naked so why this red face?"
Came Randhir's voice as he stood close to me cupping my face but I gasped widening my eyes at his choice of words and glared at him which erupted a chuckle from him while I pouted looking down. Randhir kept a finger under my chin making me look back at him and I whispered

"You really intimidate me sometimes!"
Listening this,he raised his eyebrows in question and with a tiny smirk asked

"Is it a bad or a good thing?"

"Depends! Anyways why are you here at this time?"
I asked dodging his teasing and wiped away the sweat from his forehead maintaining myself as Randhir pulled me more to himself. He shrugged nonchalantly replying

"I had missed my workout from the time we've came here so thought to do it now considering I had nothing else to do but where were you? The whole afternoon you went missing and now you finally decided to come back! What was so important that took so long Ahana?"
I bit my tongue as he narrowed his eyes at me in the end but giving him a sweet smile informed

"About that, actually I want to take you somewhere!"

"Kaha?"
He asked with confusion and I pouted saying

"It's a surprise. I am not supposed to tell kaha?"
But surprisingly he pecked my pouting lips and smiling said

"Acha mat batao but what is the reason of this sudden surprise I am getting?"

"I don't think a reason is required to give my husband a surprise!"
I retorted back while he chuckled shaking his head and stated

"Ok I got that you are not going to spill any beans but there has to be some reason right?"

"There are many but most importantly it's my way of saying sorry to you!"
I whispered cupping his face while he held my waist but before he could reply,I continued

"I know you would say that I don't have to do anything and you've forgiven me already but please let me do it. For you."
He heaved a sigh caressing my waist which made me shiver looking down.

"I would still say that it's not needed but then not everyday you get surprises from your wife like this infact this is the first time ever you gonna do something like this for me so might as well live this moment fully!"
This made me narrow my eyes at him and folding my hands around my chest asked

"Are you taunting me for it?"
He tried hard to hide his smirk but failing miserably replied

"I won't dare to do that!"

"Apki baato se toh wahi laga!"
My face contoured in irritation making him chuckle.

"Toh this whole day you were out preparing for the surprise in the name of shopping?"
He asked trying to look at me sternly while I just gave him a full blown smile.

"Yes! And dare you scold me for it and come with me now. We have to get ready or else we'll be late!"
Saying so I started dragging him with me while he tried stopping. Without giving any heed to him,I dragged him to the room and directly pushed him into the bathroom saying

"Take a shower quickly and come out. I've kept your clothes ready on the bed!"

"This is literally zabardasti Ahana!"
He contorted pouting at me and I smiled sarcastically replying

"You don't really have a choice Mr Malhotra. So go now!"
Saying so I shut the door of the bathroom myself before he speaks something else and smiled stupidly. Hurriedly I removed the dress I would be wearing and other needed things. I am so looking forward to tonight and spending this time with Randhir. From the time we've came here,he was either angry or we both were busy with some work for the wedding and it will just become worse from tomorrow since it's mehendi tomorrow morning and other rituals will be performed in full swing from now. But tonight will be all for us only and I'll make sure of it.

"Thinking about me?"
I got startled as the husky voice of Randhir fell on my ears and his hot breath tingled on my neck making me shiver with the proximity. I gulped feeling him wrap his hand around my waist from behind and nuzzled his nose in my neck which raised my heartbeat. I took hold of his hand to balance myself as his after bath scent clouded my rational thinking.

"Ran... Randhir... please let me...go! We'll be...late!"
My voice was so low in a whisper that I doupt if he even heard but he just 'hmmed' in reply not really paying attention to my words and pressed me to the wardrobe such as I was between the wardrobe and Randhir with my back to his naked front since he was just in a towel.

"Randhirrrr!"
I moaned unintentionally when he licked a particular area around my neck and holding my waist tightly gave me a bite sucking it along.

'can I just cancel everything and jump on him right away?'

Oh how I wish to do that but sadly I have to wait for it some more time and I surely know that the wait would be worth it. But I don't know what happened, suddenly a hurtful shriek left my mouth as Randhir's palm rested above my chest from behind. Oh god! I just hope he didn't noticed but of course, owing to my bad luck he did. Hurriedly turning me to face him,he cupped my face and asked in a tensed voice

"Did I hurt you somewhere?"
I gulped nervously not knowing how to answer him but anyhow said

"No you didn't! Let me go, I've to take shower!"
As I tried moving away,he held me in place and glaring at me in the eyes stated

"Ahana I heard the voice you made which was painful! Did you hurt yourself somewhere? Tell me right now!"
Hey bhagwan! Harr baar mein kaise pakdi jaati hu? But I can't tell him the truth. Everything will be ruined. Come on Ahana,soch kuch soch!

"Ahana?"
Randhir muttered in building anger through his gritted teeth while I spoke whatever the first thing came in my mind

"Actually,you by mistakenly held my hair in your hand too tightly which made me shriek in pain. Nothing else!"
Though I tried to sound as convincing as possible,but knowing Randhir and how easily he catches my lies,I hoped I sounded truthful to him too.

"Oh ohkay! I am sorry about that!"
Thank God inhe vishwas ho gya. I sighed as he looked at me lovingly but felt guilty hearing him say sorry for none of his mistake.

"Aap...apke kapde bed pe hai. You get ready meanwhile I'll take a shower and come!"
He nodded giving a small smile and I made my way to the bathroom. Sighing I took a nice bath as fast as possible and hurriedly drying myself with a towel and wrapping one around my body,I came in the closet finally putting my dress on. After that I did my hair just blow drying it nothing else. Doing my minimal make up,as much as I knew and spraying some perfume,I got ready. I wore my heels and came out of the closet and was left clean bold seeing my Greek god of husband looking handsome as hell in his black suit with crisp white shirt.

Without any control,a whistle left my mouth catching his attention as I remarked

"You've gotten ready to break million of hearts Mr husband but fortunately you are mine. How lucky of me!"
He stood there gawking at me and without even responding to my comment, stated

"Tell me you're not wearing this?"
I looked down at myself frowning and looking back at him hesitantly asked

"Why? Am I not looking nice?"
But what he replied was enough to flare my blush to the darker shade while goosebumps appeared on my body. He said

"Why do you think I'll be going anywhere leaving this room with you looking this hot?"

I kept shifting my wait from one leg to another in nervousness as Randhir started taking steps towards me.

"Please, let's cancel this plan!"
He whispered cupping my face and touching our foreheads together such that his warm breath tingled every cell of my body craving need, love. His love!

"I have no wish to go anywhere but to make some unforgettable love to you Ahana!"
I gulped closing my eyes and took hold of his hands which were cupping my face as his words did no good to the burning desire in me for him.

"Ran... Randhir we can't do that. Just some time more and after that I'll be yours completely.I promise!"
He sighed hiding his face in my neck and pulling me close whispered

"This 'some' time is going to be hell for me with you looking like this!"
I chuckled softly caressing his back and hugging him tightly.

"Okay then let's get moving!"
He broke apart with a sulking face making me smack his chest saying

"Don't ruin your mood Randhir. You'll love it!"
He shrugged rolling his eyes replying

"I better do or it won't be good for you!"
The look he gave me at last conveyed exactly what he meant and I looked away immediately. Taking my purse and car keys, we moved out of the room and out of the hotel to the car when Randhir asked

"Give me the car keys?"

"Umm...nope!"
He raised his eyebrows in question and I further added

"I'll drive!"
This made him chuckle in no humour as he deadpanned

"No!"
I frowned replying

"I wasn't asking for your permission!"

"Yaa but you are still not driving because you're not familiar with the roads here Ahana so let me drive!"

"Well don't you think I'll be a bit prepared if I am the one giving this surprise date?"
This seems to zip his mouth and gritted his teeth making me sigh.

"Randhir please trust me. I know what I am doing!"

"For the last time I am saying that this isn't about not trusting you but caring for you!"
He growled glaring at me and I smiled sheepishly saying

"I didn't meant it in that way but I am sorry!"
I pouted lastly not wanting him to be angry and the next moment smiled as Randhir sighed kissing my head. With a smile intact on my face,I opened the passenger door for him while he chuckled shaking his head and sitting inside. Rounding the car,I took the driver's seat and finally we were on our way in the chilly winter night. With Randhir's intense gaze and some talking we reached our destination. Taking a deep breath,I came out of the car with Randhir doing the same and a small smile made its way on my face seeing his reaction to the surrounding

"Ahana... this..."
He tried saying something but I stopped holding his hand

"Shh...come with me!"
Getting his nod,I dragged us both inside standing in front of the gazebo decorated beautifully

This is a property with small royal palace and the picturesque view in the garden where I decided to set up our date today. I booked the whole property for us for the night. I looked beside me to see my husband looking at the decoration with a shine in his eyes and a soft smile on his lips making my heart beat stupidly for how beautiful he is and all mine.

"This is so beauti...."
I kissed him straight on his lips taking him off guard as he was saying something but I just felt the need of doing this. I cupped his face sucking his lower lip while his hand went around my waist and he let me do as I wished. My tongue tasted every corner of his mouth and giving his lip a bite,I broke apart finally,leaving him breathless.

"That was unexpected!"
Randhir exclaimed with a smirk once we calmed down from our high making me blush but hiding my embarrassment,I rolled my eyes not saying anything. I took hold of Randhir's wrist while he gazed at me in confusion.

"What happened?"
He asked as I looked at the time in his wrist watch. Without saying anything again,I just shaked my head while exactly on cue a romantic song started playing making me smile while my husband was all confused.
(Song in the media box)

"Ab ye gana kaha se baj raha hai?"
He muttered confused making me smirk as I said

"Perks of being Mrs Ahana Randhir Malhotra!"

"I so like the sound of your name!"
He replied intently and I smiled circling my hands around his broad shoulders whispering

"Can you give me the honour of having this dance with you please?"
My breath hitched as he pulled me incredibly closer holding my waist replying

"I'd love to but Akshay Kumar ka gana lena zaruri tha?"
I frowned trying to register his words and once it did,I pushed him away angrily saying

"Way to ruin my mood Randhir. For one day please keep your 'i hate Akshay because you love him' attitude aside and concentrate on your wife!"
This made him laugh holding his stomach while I was just huffing and flaring my nose with irritation.

"Ohh god...hahaha. Relax baba I was just trying to irk you and your reaction was so worth it!"
Shaking my head with a sigh,I took a step to go away from here but Randhir caught hold of my hand jerking me back in his arms with his warm breath which fell on my face, soothing me in the cold night.

"Thank you!"
He whispered nuzzling in my neck making me frown.

"For?"
My own voice was no more than a mere whisper as Randhir started peppering kisses on my neck and collerbone gradually licking and biting my skin lightly which made me fist the lapels of his coat tightly.

"For tonight! For this beautiful arrangement! For looking past my every shortcoming and making me a better person. For forgiving me and for being so selfless and genuine that I fall for you every day, every minute!"
As I heard his words,it became hard for me to not become emotional but still trying to control,I said

"I should say this to you Randhir that even after my every stupidity and foolishness,you keep up with me and love me no less than before. I am really really sorry for the nonsensical argument I started which almost drifted us apart. So do you forgive me?"
Randhir shaked his head wiping away the single tear that was about to leave my eye and kissing my forehead stated

"I already forgave you Ahana!"
I felt a lump in my throat trying to not burst in a crying mess as I asked hiccuping

"Then...why am I...still Ahana to you and not your...jaan?"
At first Randhir seem to have a bit confused look with furrowed eyebrows but once my words register to him,he sighed closing his eyes.

"I know..I am not perfect. I annoy you,piss you off,say stupid things then take it all back but put that all aside and I promise you'll not find anyone who loves you as much as I do. Atleast not in this life. And it's not my mistake that you thought I was normal. I am crazy and you have to deal with this crazy for lifetime!"
As I ranted up everything with a pout,my stupid husband only found it all funny as he stood there looking amused and trying to stiffen his laugh making me narrow my eyes at him and for some stupid reason started crying again.

"You are finding this all funny? I am crying here and all you can do is laugh right?"
Randhir made a straight face immediately shaking his head in denial and cupping my face stated

"No meri jaan! I was not laughing on you but you see,you were looking soo hot and cute white blabbering everything in one breath that I just had one thought in my mind which is to gobble you up! And why are you even crying? Tch!"
He started wiping my tears, removing some locks of hair away from my face but all I could register was him calling me his jaan again making me all the more emotional.

"You called me your jaan! Do you even realise what it does to my heart everytime you call me like this! Dare if you ever stop calling me this. No matter what. You'll only call me your jaan. I don't care if we are in private or with our friends and family. Let them know how much you love me. Okay?"
I have surely gone mad! I thought, after blabbering so much again and Randhir only chuckled nodding and stated

"Okay if that's your demand but always remember,not calling you my jaan doesn't change the fact ki aap hamesha meri jaan rahogi!"
I just nodded with overwhelmed emotions and hugged him hiding my face in his neck as he held me back securely in his warm and safe embrace. We stood like that for quite a bit absorbing the peace and with me listening his heartbeats but had to break apart hearing some footsteps. Looking at our left,we saw three people coming. Two burttlers who carried our food and the manager making his way to us.

"Sorry to disturb you Mr and Mrs Malhotra. Welcome to udaibhavan properties and we hope you are enjoying your time here. The dinner is served and we are taking our leave. Have a wonderful stay you both!"
Bowing down at us slightly, they left while Randhir immediately made me look at him and shot his question

"You booked the whole property?"
I shrugged smiling and replied

"They weren't ready to give just the garden for our date so I booked it all!"

"It's a freaking palace Ahana! There was no need to spend so much!"
As soon as he finished his sentence,I slapped his cheek lightly but enough to shock him.

"Why the hell did you do that?"
Randhir gritted glaring at me but I just narrowed my eyes answering

"Firstly because you called me by my name and secondly you counted money instead of my emotions behind all this!"
He rolled his eyes while I took his hand taking him with me and making him sit at the sitting arrangement and as I was about to sit in front of him,he pulled me back making me land on his lap. I giggled adjusting myself properly and locking my hands around his neck looked at him continuesly.

"I am so famished Randhir. Feed me jaldi jaldi!"
He chuckled shaking his head and securing his one hand around my waist,he rolled some noodles in the fork with his other hand forwarding it to me. I immediately opened my mouth having it and moaned closing my eyes with a sigh.

"Ahmmm! This is so tasty!"
I exclaimed as he fed me again and said

"You didn't had anything this whole day so you had to be famished. Apna khayal rakhna toh sikha hi nhi hai na tumne!"
As he looked at me disappointed,I made a pout making his eyes go to my lips and he didn't waste a second taking it in his mouth startling me. However,I kissed him back with equal fervor threading my fingers in his hair.

________

"Umm... Randhir!"
I called him out softly as he wiped my lips once we were done eating. I was still in his lap fidgeting with his shirt button and not looking at him in the eyes. I was nervous and I am sure he already figured that out.

"What is it?"
He asked as softly as whisper caressing my cheek making me sigh in content.

"We didn't had our dessert na!?"
He narrowed his eyes at me for this sudden question and picking up the plate of chocolate chip peanut butter pie,made me have a bite of it.

"This wasn't what you wanted to say. Tell me what is it baby?"
Randhir stated wiping away the cream from the corner of my lips and licked his finger while I blushed looking down. Taking a breath,I looked up at him who was looking at me all the while as I whispered

"I have this last surprise for you!"
His eyes widened and with a small smile,he said

"You already did so much for me jaan now what is remaining more?"
Without saying anything,I started sliding away the thin strap of my dress from my right shoulder making him look at me in horror.

"Ahana, what are you doing? Someone might come!"

"Only we are here Randhir!"
But he just shook his head holding my hand from doing anything further

"But what are you even doing?"
I bit my lips and replied slowly

"I want to show you something!"
Listening this, Randhir left my hand in confusion while sliding the dress a bit more down I closed my eyes.

"Aha...jaan! What is... this?"
Randhir asked in complete shock and awe and raised his fingers caressing the still fresh tattoo of his name on my chest, were my heart was beating erratically. I shivered at his feather like touch as it still was paining a bit but nothing I couldn't handle.

"Jaan!"
I gulped opening my eyes to look at Randhir who had tears lining his eyes making me gasp. I cupped his face pecking his lips and nodded in no.

"You...why did you do this jaan! I...it must have been so painful!"
He argued sounding angry but I replied defensively saying

"You are saying this? Apne apna tattoo dekha hai? It's nothing compared to that but it's what I wanted to have from very long. It's your name on my heart which will be visible for your eyes only. Exclusively for you my husband!"
He shaked his head sighing and bending down, dropped a very light kiss on my chest making me close my eyes holding his shoulder tightly.

"I wasn't there with you to give you comfort bacha! As much as I love this gift of yours,I'd never want anything which gives you even a bit of pain. You do something like this again and you'll face my wrath!"
I twisted my face nonchalantly but smiled as he hugged me, snuggling his face in my neck and caressing my tattoo. My hand went in his hair holding him tight and just as I closed my eyes,he raised his head saying

"This was the reason why you shouted back in the closet in our room while we were making out?"
I blushed looking down and nodded slightly and he sighed.

"We should continue were we left!"
Randhir exclaimed with the most innocent face making me think what he is talking about but I didn't had the time to think as he carried me bridal style saying

"Might as well make a great use of having this palace all for ourselves!"
I blushed heavily, hiding my face in his chest but only I knew how excited I was from within.
