Karn POV

She woke me up today, oh, it's a dream come true. Seeing her smiling face first thing in the morning, lovely. The way she sweetly woke, was so attractive. It was the best way; one could get up, at least for me.

But I couldn't get up, I had slept so late that I couldn't get up, it felt too early. I groaned, falling back in her lap. We had talked for things, above and below.
She was wearing a red saree, and she looked very stunning and fabulous. She looked like a goddess, a queen. I have no more words on how very nice and pretty she looked.

In the talking, she had told me that husband in Kaliyuga call their wife from their name only. But she didn't say anything about wife. When I asked what she will call me, she said she will call me whatever I tell her to call me.

Krishna came to inform us that, we were needed in some time for the rituals. Ananya had informed to me about this, with a yawn, so I told her to sleep for a while. Of course, she didn't listen at first when I told her sternly, then only she followed.
She acts like a kid sometimes; I mean who cares about the wrinkles in the saree? Must be a girl thing, but then also.

As I go through my morning rituals, my thoughts like always are occupied by her. Her eyes, her laugh, her talks, her and her only. I wonder, does she think about as much as I think about her?

I get ready and return from my prayers, to find Ananya sleeping on the bed. She is spread on the bed, clutching the covers close. Her hair is spread on the pillow behind her, she looks so peaceful. Though normally also you won't find worry across her face but right now she looks much more at peace.

She will require time to get ready, I should wake her up. I wonder how?

I sit near her stomach and shake her a little, "Ananya?"

"Ananya?"

"Oye Sakshi, ja yaar Tom Hiddleston ko ghur jakar, mat tanga kar Mujhe." (Oye, Sakshi, go stare at Tom Hiddleston, don't disturb me.)

"Yeh Tom kon hai?" (Who is this, Tom?) I ask.

She sits up, suddenly, coming face to face with me. I look at her in amusement.

"Kya bola Maine?" (What did I say?)

"Kisi Tom ke barein Mein." (You said about some Tom.)

"Oh, Mujhe laga Sakshi tang kar rahi hai." (Oh! I thought Sakshi was disturbing me.) she voices her thoughts.

"Kon hai yeh dono?" (Who are these two?)

"Sakshi meri dost hai aur Tom ek Mashhour insaan hai." (Sakshi is my friend and Tom is one famous guy.)

"Kya Kiya tha usne?" (Wat did he do?)

"Natakiya Kalakar hai." (He is a play artist.)

"Oh!" Karn nods. "Tumhe taiyar hona chahiye." (You should get ready.)

"Oh Haan!" (Oh! Yeah.) she face- palms getting up and walking to where the saree is kept.

She starts to drape the saree around her and I silently observe her, still seated on the bed. She does it confidently and artistically.

"Kaliyuga Mein log saree pehent hai?" (Do ladies wear saree in Kaliyuga?) I question her.

"Haan. Koi Utsav ya tyohaar Ho toh." (Yes. If there is a festival or event) she answers correcting her saree, while looking in the mirror. I hum in response.

She goes sits in front of the mirror, and opens a box kept there. I stare at her as she pulls a necklace, something like the one she was wearing yesterday. It has red beads, along with necklace she even pulls her large ear- rings on. Following it is a similar looking Mang- tikka, it must be a set.
She ties her hair in a low bun. And pulls her Payal, the one gave out. She smiles at me, shyly, pulling it on. Along with the nose pin. And at last, she ties her bridal dupatta.

"Ho gayi taiyaar." (I am ready.)

I silently walk to her and take the sindoor from the table feeling her partition. "Ab Ho taiyaar." (Now, you are ready.)

She smiles up at me before, wrapping her arms around me and setting her head on my collar bone. We have very less of height difference. I return the hug, wrapping my arms across her waist and pulling her close.

After few seconds she sighs, pulling away. "Hume jana hai na?" (We need to go, right?) she asks. I nod.

"Chalo, sab hume khojenge." (Come, they will look for us.) I tell her. She nods.

"Itne rasam Kyun hotein hai, shaadi Mein?" (Why are there so many rituals in marriage.) Ananya asks.

"Kyunki woh do logon ko jod ta hai, Anu." (Because it joins two people, Anu.) I answer.

"Kya bulaya Mujhe?" (What did you call me?) she asks, her eyes big.

"Anu. Kyun nahi achcha laga?" (Anu. Why didn't you like it?) I ask.

"Bahut achcha laga." (Very much.) She smiles at me, kissing my cheeks before she turns around, walking away.

But I don't let her get away, I catch her flowing saree Pallu and pull her towards me. She jerks back to me, hitting my chest.

"Hume hamara hakh chahiye." (I want my right.) I whisper in her ear.

"Hakh? Hum Ang- Rani Hain. Humpe kisi ka hakh nahi." (Right? I am Ang- Rani. Nobody has a right over me.)

"Ang Rani, aapne Raja ko, unka hakh nahi dengi?" (Won't Ang- Rani give her Ang- Raj, his right?)

Before she could answer I spun her around, kissing her square on her lips, she returned it with full vigor, few seconds later, the time she came to terms of what happened.
I pinched her waist and she gasped in the kiss, allowing me access to her mouth. As I took a swipe in her mouth she moaned in pleasure, and I moaned myself.

We pull away resting our head against each other, her Mang- tikka was biting in my head, as we took breaths. "Kaise pehente Ho tum yeh?" (How do you wear this?) I ask, running my hand on her Mang- Tikka.

"Main bhi sab se yahi puchti Hun." (I also ask that from everyone.) She says looking at me with a I am done forever expression.

We laugh and walk out of the room, towards where I was sure most of people were waiting for us. After all we were to be there most probably some while ago, if my calculations are correct.

"Anni" a voice called, when we had walked like 10 steps out of the room.
It's Balram.

"Big Bro" she greets with a smile. I give him a smile too.
I want to know what she said, I will ask her.

"Come, you are needed by mom, I will take Jija Ji to his place." He says and she nods in understanding, while I look between them in confusion.

She gives me a smile before walking away, I give a questioning look to Balram.

"Ma ne usse bulaya tha, aap humare saath chaliye." (Mom has called for her, you can come with me.) He elucidates. I nod and gesture him to lead the way.
