Royally yours

46. Under the blanket of stars

Chaitra

He said he bought all my favorite sweets and chocolates because he thought I was angry with him. How cute can he be?

"Where are we going?" I asked him after a while, my head still resting on his shoulder. 

"Somewhere special to celebrate my kitten's success," He replied with a smile, his eyes fixated on the road in front. I sighed and laid back on my seat knowing very well that he would not reveal it to me.

After a while, he stopped the car and gestured for me to get down. He guided me to the cliff's edge where two chairs and a table were laid with another bouquet on the table. He made me sit on a chair and took the other and I kept gazing at his movements.

"I heard my kitten loves gazing at the full moon in open places," He spoke breaking my trance.  I just hummed in response holding his hand resting on the table in mine. After that, we were surrounded by a comfortable silence enjoying the full moon and cool breezes until my stomach decided to disturb us with its growling making me embarrassed.

"I will get you something to eat," Saying so Daksh got up from his place and I tagged along. We walked to the car and the moment he opened the trunk a gasp escaped my lips seeing the trunk loaded with boxes of sweets and chocolates.

"You bought these many boxes to pacify me?" I asked dumbfounded with my right hand on my chest.

"Are they less? I tried to get more but they said they don't keep much stock. I will get more tomorrow if they are not enough." Daksh replied hastily making me want to laugh at his cuteness and to kiss the hell out of him at the same time. But, I chose to give him a tight hug and ran into his arms.

"Are you mad, Daksh? I am not Kumbakaran to eat that much!" I exclaimed making him laugh nervously. I kissed his chest and rested my head back on his chest feeling his heartbeats.

"What do you want to eat now?" He asked after a few moments, kissing my forehead as I separated from him.

"Whatever you want to feed me," I replied, with teasing evident in my tone. He gave me an amused smile and fetched a sweet box from the pile of boxes. He guided me back to the spot.

"Can we sit down, on the grass?" I asked as sitting on the edge was making me scared thinking of all the stupid movies I watched. He nodded at me and I spread my scarf while he spread my dupatta on the ground after which we both sat down with a sweet box in his hand. I carry a scarf and dupatta with me for emergency cases.

He opened the box and forwarded a piece of Kajukatli towards me but I took a bite of it instead of taking it from him. He looked at me with a mixture of amusement and surprise. I took the sweet from his hand and pushed it into his half-opened mouth laughing.

"You will give me a heart attack one day," he muttered pulling me closer. I rested my head on his chest laughing. 

"What? Can't your kitten be fed by you?" I asked glancing at him trying to act innocent. He pinched my nose making me giggle. Then he fed me a few more bites of Kajukatli before placing it away and laid down on my dupatta while I sat beside him with my knees up and joining my hands around my knees. 

"Come here," He called out after seeing me rubbing my palms over my arms in an attempt to get some warmth. I was about to lay down beside him when he extended his hand to rest my head making me smile.

 "Are you interested in constellations?" He asked after a while looking at the stars that started to appear. I turned to see him who was already looking at me with expectant eyes. He likes constellations, I concluded and nodded at him even though I never really tried to know about constellations or stars except enjoying seeing them at night with my brothers in childhood.
