"This is bliss", he said nuzzling his head in the crook of her neck smelling her...

"Hm...", Isha said moving her feet on his... The sound of her anklets raised the desire in him... He sat at her feet taking them in his palms and dropping kisses on them...

"Your feet are so beautiful Isha... But with these anklets, they are the prettiest...", he said dropping open mouth kisses on her soft feet...

"Rana sa... Stop kissing them please", she pleaded, she always felt awkward when he touched her feet, but it would remain only for some time, she would get used to it after that. He continued peppering them with kisses, she kept her right foot on his heart to stop him... He looked at her and shook her head.

He gave her a proud smile...

"Rani sa... You are a queen in all senses", he said and she smiled understanding what he meant... The happiness he felt after seeing her foot on his chest, heart to be precise was immense. She forwarded her hands inviting him in her embrace and he didn't waste a second in jumping into her arms taking her lips into his.

And just like she predicted, the whole night, till the wee hours, their room is filled with the sounds made by the 3 players as her husband said, i.e she, her Rana sa and her anklets, he made sure of it.

The next morning, Isha woke up and kept staring at her husband, it's the first time she woke up before him after they made love, she couldn't forget their night, and his love, everything kept running in her head making her go red. She looked at her legs entangled with his, her gaze shifted to her anklets and the red hue deepened but with a wide smile. The anklets were so pretty, she loved them a lot and she liked how her husband was so obsessed with her wearing anklets that he missed his important meeting to get her these.

"Good Morning!", he greeted her, kissing her head

"Good Morning", she said turning to him snuggling into him more...

"What are you thinking so deeply ? About last night ?", his tone turned husky in the end, earning a slap from her on his bare chest.

"I was just thinking about your obsession with me wearing anklets that you missed such an important meeting, leaving my bhai alone", she said

"Your actual problem is that I left your brother alone, not that I missed an important meeting... I hate the love you have for that idiot Rajput", Abhyansh said and Isha rolled her eyes at his complaints...

"Subhe Subhe shuru na hoyiye Rana sa...(Don't start with your complaints early in the morning)", she dismissed his comments, he glared at her but soon it disappeared when he saw her cutely yawning and closing her eyes to sleep some more...

"Not just these, I brought you a few pairs of toe rings and a few more anklet sets... Freshen up and arrange them in the closet, or I'll do it tonight", he said and she quickly opened her eyes to know he bought more anklets and toe rings... He expected her to admonish him but she surprised him by just nodding... He loved it when his wife was in a great mood, she ignored everything he did though she was against some things.

"Make me wear a pair of toe rings today after I freshen up... For now, let me sleep... There is a lot of work today", Isha said and Abhyansh nodded.

-----------------------------------

Soon, the D-Day arrived and Avyan and Anshi's Roka ceremony took place, it was a grand event but with a limited number of guests. Anshi and Avyan conversed like two civil people. Isha along with Amruta received Anshi's family warmly. Pratap, Abhyansh, and Rajmata Devyani Devi maintained their usual stance. Pratap with his nonchalance, Devyani Devi with herstern posture, and Abhyansh with his cold demeanor. Isha sighed at the three. There is still some time for the rituals to start. Anshi's parents are worried seeing the three of their behavior. They knew Rajmata's and Abhyash's coldness from before, but Pratap too didn't greet Anshi or respond when she greeted him. This scared her parents.

"Rana sa... look at them, they are so worried for their daughter, come on, she is their only daughter, Please go and assure them, they would definitely listen to you", Isha said but Abhyansh looked at her sternly and she sighed... She got her answer... She looked around and saw her father-in-law and Rajmata standing at some distance...

"He wouldn't listen to me at all, why is he standing with those crutches ? He could sit in his wheel chair but no...", Isha muttered to herself looking at her Father-in-law but her husband heard her...

"Now you started worrying for that man too ? Rani sa...", Abhyansh started but Isha cut him off...

"What do you mean by I started now, I worry for him always, he is family, but before I didn't talk to him much... well, even now, I don't talk to him much but it's better than before", Isha said

"There is no need to better your ties with him...", Abhyansh told her strictly

"Okay... now will you calm down ?", she said and he sighed... "I'll just come", she said and walked to her father-in-law and Rajmata...

Rajmata walked to Abhyansh seeing him alone to talk about a few things...

"Sasur sa... why don't you go and engage Anshi's parents in some conversation? If you go and talk to them, they would feel better... They are very worried about their daughter", Isha said

"Why are they worried ? they should be happy that their daughter is getting to marry a prince that too a Ranawat prince", Pratap said dismissively

"I would like you to keep your prejudice aside till this function ends and indulge the bride's parents in a respectful and meaningful conversation", Isha said with seriousness

"Is it an order ?", Pratap asked

"Would you obey only if it is ?", Isha questioned in return...
