Raghav's POV:
Like yesterday I ordered lunch in our rooms... Siya wanted to go out but as I had other plans for tonight...
Special plans ❤️
I decided to keep her under the impression that i wasn't planning anything 'Romantic' just like she termed it this morning 😋
I didn't want to give her any hints...while I secretly booked a table for candle light dinner by the beach side...just for both of us...
I wanted to make her feel special...
Today when I spoke about Aditi to her she was shocked...I wanted to explore this relationship...
I don't know all these days we felt physical attraction to each other...I wanted her to know...it's not just about physical attraction...or lust...
I...
I liked her...
I wouldn't term it beyond that because everything takes time...
But I definitely knew one thing for sure..
I definitely want to stay in this marriage.
With her.
My little baby dragon 🐉❤️😍

We ordered Chinese for lunch today...
We ordered wonton soup, chicken and veg dimsums, Pao Cai, spring rolls for starters..for main course we kept it simple as we ordered just 1 burnt garlic fried rice with mushroom Manchurian and shared it.
We ended our lunch with jasmine tea as it's best to drink it post a heavy Chinese meal.
We were full. Siya changed into her pajamas and went back to get some rest while my lawyer at Goa made the papers ready to begin with property buying proceedings and also our new venture with Mr.Karmarkar... Everything went pretty smooth today and all bad blood was finisht between me and Karmarkar...
I was back in no time only to see my princess in a deep slumber 😍 she looked gorgeous ❤️ my heart was all over tonight's plans of being with her...
I infact informed Anupam too not to call me tonight and that my phone would be switched off.
I wanted to dedicate all my time to Siya...
I changed into my pajamas just then I received a call from Radz...
'Radhika calling....'
I smiled and picked her call..
'So.... Mr Prabhu is on a honeymoon is it' I heard her laugh..
'Shutup Radz... No honeymoon nothing...came here for finalizing a deal' I replied...
'Ohoooo...that's why you don't reply on WhatsApp is it?' she teased...
'Shutup Radz...the deal got finalized last night...I'll be back home tomorrow.. probably' I told her...
'Hummmm....so fast you are done with your honeymoon is it sweetie...the speed you are in...I guess your babies will be in our arms in 4 and half months...cuz your fast na' she laughed...
I laughed out loudly...
'My god you are crazy Radz.. by the way you missed my reception and you didn't meet my Siya' I complained...
'Myyyyy Siya...ohoooooo' she teased..
I bit my tongue and scratched the back of my neck... cursing myself...
Then she continued...
'I know yaar...but you know it clashed with Yash's parents 30th wedding anniversary...I was helpless...but hey let's meet up for the reunion party???' she said...
'What reunion' I asked...
'Well our batch mates are having a reunion party planned this Friday and I knew you missed to notice... so I confirmed your name 😉' she said
'Hey not possible Radz...Naman is getting engaged this Sunday evening... Miss Aditi Prabhu insisted she wanted engagement ceremony 🙄 I rolled my eyes' so lots of last minute preps I argued
'Raghs yaar please... It's just engagement... everything will be organized and anyways I don't want you to be over enthusiastically involved in her engagement although it's Naman whom she's going to get married to...I can't forget the mess she made...she hurt my bestie' she argued
This is why Radz is my only bestie...but Naman was my brother I couldn't avoid his happiness...
But I just nodded to Radz and agreed to join the party.
'Greattt....see you on Friday night...Beachblue Hotel terrace space, Manipal (city near Mangalore)...sharp 7pm and get your Madam too ❤️❤️❤️' she chuckled...
'Sure' I said and dropped the call...
By then I noticed Siya was up...and looking at me...
Before her CBI brains start investigation I told her
'It was Radz... Radhika....she's married... she's also my bestie...we have to go to my college reunion party this Friday night...be ready...she just called to inform'
Her eyebrows that were hanging up high till now fell down back to normal listening to my answers 🤨😌
She looked at me and tried to hide her expressions saying
'Its ok...why are you explaining 🙄 I didn't ask'
I wanted to fall at her feet...
Women are absolutely unpredictable... And even the best super computer cannot detect a women's brains ...I thought to myself 🤐
So I quickly jumped next to her on the bed while she saw me too close to her...
'What is it???' she asked...
I needed to give her a reason now...
I saw the novel in her hand and told...
'Im reading it too...can we share' I patted my brains for that genius cover-up 😋
'We maybe on different chapters Mr Prabhu...' she said...
'No I'm also reading this same chapter' I lied...
'Oh is it... Tell me the story then' she said...
Damn...this book was only my cover-up when my eyes wandered on her when I slept on that famous couch in our bedroom back home...I don't even remember anything about this book I thought..
I grinned ...😬
She grinned too 😬 sarcastically and pushed me away...
I laughed and lied down on the bed...
While i had her reading next to me...I had this urge to hold her hand...
So I pretended to fall asleep and held her palm...
But my smart dragon replaced it with a pillow and walked away to balcony...
Curse you extra pillows 😠
Siya's POV:
The sun was almost setting...I sipped a cup of hot coffee while I saw Raghav come out of the washroom with his white formal shirt and black pants...
I wondered where is he going now...
By then he told me...
'I have a business deal Siya .. I have booked a table for you for dinner tonight... please help yourself...I maybe late'
I felt bad...😔 This was our last night in Goa and he is still working on his business deal ..I thought I would get a little more time with him...just me and him...
Huh.... anyways...we came here for a business deal...I'm just dreaming too much....just because he was nice to me...took care of me... doesn't mean...
Does it mean???
Or not???
Forget it.
I didn't want to go anywhere...
I just sat on the lazy chair looking at the dark sea hitting the shores...
While I noticed a lot of candle light dinner tables organized by the resort from my balcony.... Slowly i noticed couples and families acquire the table...in no time it was crowded...
while my heart sank at the lonely dark room I was in...
Why should these silly gestures be so complex in my life...
How much time would I have took from Raghav's busy life...an hour? That's max a dinner would take... But hey...I'm just a bakery owner....he owns an empire...
My heart was trying it's level best to keep me calm...
While the beautiful candle lit tables made me feel low...
Am I having too many expectations from this marriage that too when it's only 20 days old... I must not...I must really try to just take it as it comes...
Come on Siya...get up
..
So what if Raghav is not here...you've done this before...
In UK and back in Bangalore...
This is the best date possible...
Self date❤️
A smile was back immediately on my face...
I dressed up in a white sleeveless tang top, a black long skirt and knowing I'm going to dine by the beach side which may get colder in night ..and there's no Bollywood hero going to give me his jacket...I carried my stole...
I locked the room and asked the reception to lead me to the table booked for me...
While the lady smiled at me...well she's all smiles since she saw me in Raghav's arms and is a fan of his carrying skills 🤦
She told me...it's a different table for you mam... It's on the deck... This way please and she showed me a seperate table on a totally isolated corner organised for me...
A table for two❤️
It looked beautiful...
Awwwww he wanted to surprise me😍
My heart leaped...
The set up looked gorgeous...
I slowly took my steps to the table... expecting Raghav around there anytime...
I thanked my brain to dress up well❤️❤️❤️
I walked to the table...I could notice a lot of people look at the seperate setup...
Seems like a lot of people are going to envy me...
After all my husband is special ❤️
I took a seat while the waiter came in and asked me for wine...
I denied...
I wanted to begin with Raghav...I looked at the twinkling fairy lights...
I saw the Time...it was 8...
I looked at the roses...
The sea...
People on the other corner noticed me...
Slowly I saw them eating their meal...
Slowly I saw them leave...
The waiter came back asking if he can serve me wine or any other drinks as they will be shutting the bar service...
I saw the time...it was 9:30
I told him...we don't drink anyways...
So it's ok...
I tried reaching Raghav...his phone was switched off...
Slowly I saw everyone leave...
The tables were all empty except a few ladies who looked at me and were gossiping...soon I heard them laugh out loud...
It wasn't affecting me initially...
But as the time passed I started getting irritated...
It was 10:30 and now the waiter said that...10:45 would be the last order...
I almost had tears in my eyes...
He dumped me on a date...
If he wasn't to come why the heck did he do this set up...
Oh wait...
He told me that he'll book a table...
But seeing the setup
The extra chair...
It's my stupid brain who assumed he'll come...
A tear dropped past my eye...
I wasn't hungry anymore...
I just kept a tip and left the table without ordering anything.
While passing by the dinner tables organized for other folks by the resort...
I saw one last table and there I noticed....
Raghav???
Raghav was standing at a table next to a woman...then I saw him sit...
I noticed him stand again...
And again he was sitting...
What the hell is he doing...and who is SHE???
She was tall... almost 5.8...
Long legs...
She was wearing an emarald green dress hugging her body tightly...Her fair skin complemented her looks perfectly...her back was facing me...so I couldn't see her face...
Her grey brownish hair left open on her back... The dress literally stopped just below her perfectly curved buttocks...
Sexy woman...my mind alarmed...
What's Raghav doing with her was the immediate next question!!!#$@#...
Just then... I saw Raghav drink something...I couldn't analyse what....
He is with her???
Oh wait...
Is he like.... on a date with HER???😠
She doesn't look like a business partner anyways...
Raghav doesn't have any such friends I know...
Well....how much do you know him huhhh??? My brain argued...
Well whatever it is... this definitely doesn't look like a business meeting...
Soon I noticed Raghav side hug her ...
My eyes were burning in anger seeing his hand on her back...her WAIST!!!😡
I could literally set that table on fire right now by just looking right there...
Soon I felt tears roll down by my cheek.
I was ANGRY!!!
Very ANGRY!!!
VERY VERY VERY ANGRY!!!😠😠👿😡
