Raghav's POV:

We took a cab for our trip today as I didn't want to take any risk with Siya's leg.

Finally we went to our Kuladevata's temples...Goddess Mahalasa Narayani Temple in Mardol which is Siya's kuladevi and Lord Shri Devaki Krishna Ravalnatha temple at Marcel which is my Kuladevata...🙏and completed the ritual of Varbhetha...
We spoke to our family priest who understood the situation and helped us complete the rituals...
Then we had the invitation card blessed and we also invited our family priest who blessed us and promised us to attend the wedding.

Now we were sitting in the cab and Siya was curious as to where next...

'Back to Resort' I said..

Her happy face went to a puppy face...
Though she looked cute😍

'Sorry Mam...with your ankle still recovering ..we aren't going anywhere' I told her

'But it's only 10 am in morning Raghav...there is an entire dayyyyy' she pouted...

Trying to look cute ahhh😍 I wanted to ask her...my mind replied...
'That she default is....' 😋

'But Raghav please.....I don't want to go home like this....we are in Gooooa' she tried again...

'Siya with that leg we are supposed to travel back home in my motorcycle tomorrow...which means if this won't heal by tonight... tomorrow you may end up in extreme pain... I can't let that happen...so no arguments....we are going back to resort' I told her firmly...

She felt bad probably because after this the next 1 hour journey back to our resort was complete pin drop silence.

We reached the resort...I offered her my hand to get down but she chose to limp all by herself...

It irked me... She was now acting like a 5 year old.

'Siya...stop.... Please understand... Look at your leg... why don't you understand' I told her...

'Mr Prabhu please... I told you I'm fine...it's a normal sprain...stop overreacting... I know we came here for sheer business purpose...I forgot...I'm sorry...let's leave post lunch...no need to wait for tomorrow' she yelled..

I held her by her forearms...
'Siya ...you are over reacting... I just.... I was just worried about your ankle' I told her...

I saw her fold her hands against her chest and frown...

I gave up.

'Fine... We will go...but it will all be my way....and yup just the nearby market and beach...and you will let me know when your ankle will pain' I warned her.

She pouted and finally let a beautiful smile slip her lips... 😊

Finally baby dragon🐉is happy 🙏

We weren't hungry as we ate the breakfast in temple...so I decided to take her to the beach opposite to the resort right away...

I quickly carried her in bridal style

'Raghav...leave me...I can walk...I'm fine' I heard her struggle in my arms...

I laughed at her antiques...

'Siya...I warned you...it'll be my way...so my way is carrying you everywhere 😬😋' I winked 😉 at her...

'Raghav are you crazy...you can't take me to market like this... It's embarassing and also I have to go to a designer shop to collect Aditi's engagement dress...we can't travel like this... please put me down...fine I'll agree to everything... yesterday night already most the resort has seen you carry me... God ... the receptionist was still giggling at me today morning 🤐🙄... No more Bollywood romance please' she told...

While I took her to the bench on the beach and made her sit there...

'So.... You think I'm doing all the bollywood romance?' I looked into her dark brown orbs...

Her eyes bulged at my question... I saw her gulp her saliva in nervousness...

'Me coming closer to you makes you nervous???' I counter questioned her locking her by her forearms...

She avoided the questions as well as looking at me like I was some form of plague...

I kept looking at her face... The sun was shining right on her wheatish skin and she looked like an angel ❤️

My Angel ❤️ my heart repeated...

I didn't want to trouble her more... So I let her go and took the seat next to her...

'You want something to drink?' I asked her...

'Yup... ummm...p...pr...Pretty th...thirsty...' she was still stammering...

I tried to hide my smile...

There was a tender coconut seller there... I bought two tender coconuts and offered her one...

She slowly started sipping the same...

'Ummm Siya...what Aditi's dress you have to collect? and from where?' I asked her

'Ummm...Aditi asked me to get her dress from somewhere in Panaji... Looks like she placed an order there to some designer...she asked me to collect it'...

Not that I minded it...but I didn't like the way Aditi treated Siya...the party incident was still on my mind when she belittled Siya and her dressing Sense...like she was some fashionista giving advice to my wife!

I don't know why but I didn't like the way Siya was treated by Aditi...

I knew how ignorance felt...though I felt it from society and not from my loved ones...I know how painful it feels when people try to question your choices which are not harming anyone's emotions...its not like Siya asked Aditi to wear Bapama's saree...she liked it so she wore it...

Infact...Siya wore all of the clothes that Aditi chose for herself as she was initially going to marry me...

My Siya didn't even have a choice to buy what she liked...

I must buy her something she liked...yes my Siya will wear what she likes at Aditi's engagement and wedding functions...I had decided...

I definitely didn't want to go to pick the dress for Aditi with Siya ..nor did I want Siya to... But as this would be the best opportunity to buy something for Siya...

I went to the designer house along with Siya...

It was only half an hour away from the resort...

We got down from the cab... It was a extra lavish showroom... it certainly looked very expensive!!! It read
'VB Fashion House'

We stepped in and Siya collected Aditi's dress...It was a baby pink floral lehenga... The lehenga cost around 4.5 lakhs and I saw Siya offer her card to swipe... I was surprised...why is Siya paying??? I thought to ask her but I feared if she misunderstood...so I kept silent.

While Siya said we are good to leave...i asked Siya to wait and asked the lady who was attending us to get a beautiful something for Siya...

Siya looked at me and started arguing No ...it's ok...it's fine...etc etc...but I didn't listen a word...

We picked a few beautiful Sarees and salwar for Siya...

Just then I asked the lady if there was something exclusive that they had for Siya ...

She looked at her and asked when is the function...

'I said next week'....

That lady suggested Siya to leave her measurement fittings here and also let us know her preferences and that their primary designer would get something beautiful designed for her in another 3 days and WhatsApp her the pictures of the dress which will be delivered to her by the weekend to Mangalore once it's ready...

I wondered if Siya's dress could be delivered then why did Aditi ask her dress to be collected by Siya.😠 Also what's the need to order something this far to this fashion house....like Mangalore did not have any designers!!!

I didn't like the way Siya was treated by Aditi...it was unnecessary.

I still kept my calm in the shop but when we went back to the resort I couldn't keep my calm.

'Why does your sister have to order something from Goa Siya? And what are you ??? Her Assistant to collect it??? And also what if we hadn't planned to come to Goa how do you think the dress would be delivered to her... Why does she try to show her superiority factor everywhere..' I said at once...

While Siya sat on the bed stretching her legs and smiled...

'She has been this way since our childhood Raghav... She is a little stubborn and a little demanding but believe me she is very good at ❤️'

I clenched my fist...

She saw me do that...

'Ummm...I know...I know what she did to you was absolutely wrong... She must not have just dump you at the'

I cut her right there

'Im glad she dumped me...i can't stand that woman...only if I knew what a snob she was...but anyways I'm glad she ditched and see finally I have you' I said looking at Siya.

She was shocked...

Our eyes met...

I wanted to say more... Much more...

But my tongue felt tied ...I was at loss of words... I chose to look at those beautiful brown orbs...

So many conversations between me and this woman are incomplete since last night... My heart tickled💕💕💕
