So I was pretty inspired by Celu's mehendi wala OS...and happy PrAja, so thought of writing something on Post PrAja marriage moments - I cant write SR moments so I generally exclude them from OS :p but do imagine them as happy, content in blissfully in love PrAja (portrayed by Rosal only haa! ;))

"Ajab bhi na, RaniMaa ke saath subah se gayi hai, ab tak wapis nahi aayi...kaash RaniMaa humey bhi apne saath le jaati" Pratap was grumbling sweetly, mumbling to himself in front of the mirror, getting ready for the day. He was lost in her thoughts, his beautiful, sweet, adorable wife. His wife. He thought to himself, a smile passing through his lips immediately. It was a feeling that was yet to sink in. How lucky had he been to get her. How difficult and testing was their journey till marriage. How beautiful was it to finally unite in love. How sweetly painful was it to not have her here in front of his eyes at this moment.
In the kitchen...
"Aap sab jaayiye vishram kijiye, aaj ka khana hum banaayenge" smiling , Ajab asked the daasis to take leave from the kitchen. The daasis obeyed the princess and left the kitchen.
Ajab started with the preparation of the food and after some time, once she was done with all the items for lunch, she decided to make his favourite dish - Kheer. Involuntarily, thinking about him, even if in her thoughts, made her feel his presence, his touch, his soul. She looked down and stared at the bangles in her hand. These were the ones she had seen in his hands, when she saw him for the first time. He had gifted her the same, on their first night. She blushed and closed her eyes, savouring the moment, when he had first made her wear them, when his fingers had softly touched her hand. The very next moment, she felt the same touch, his fingers encircling around her bangles and she opened her eyes and quickly turned around.
"Aaap..yahaa?" her eyes widened, her heartbeats racing, a flush of crimson spreading across her cheeks. He was standing in front of her, with a mischievous glint in his eyes. He knew he had an effect on her and she just looked so beautiful when she blushed like that. Also, it was impossible to not get drowned in her when she was in front of him. With one hand, he quickly pulled her by her waist. They both felt a current pass through each other and entwined his other hand in her fingers. She smiled in a coy manner and he pulled her chin up, lovingly looking into her eyes.
"Pehle bataaeye, itni der aap humey akela chhod kar kyu gayi? Aapko pata hai na, jab humaarey saamney nahi hoti, toh hum vichlit ho jaatey hai" He said, with mock anger on his face. She bit her lip, he looked so adorable, when he would make this puppy face. She placed her hand on his shoulder and softly said -
"Woh humney socha ki aaj aapke liye hum svayam bhojan banaaye, aapki saari manpasand cheezey khud banaye..." she trailed off and looked up at him. He was grinning ear to ear and pushed back a strand of hair fallen on her face, behind her ears.
"Toh humey bhi aapki kucch madad karni chahiye..hamari patni itna parishram karey, aur hum vishram karey, aisa nahi ho sakta" He caressed her cheeks.
"Yeh aap kya keh rahey hai...kisi ne aapko yaha dekh liya toh kya kahenge, ...aap jaayiye yaha se...arrey kheer" she was forcing him to leave, even though she dint want him to go..but he was adamant. He turned her around, he quickly pulled her hand and started stirring the kheer with her and placed his face around her neck and softly spoke in her ears
"Jab tak yeh kheer taiyyar nahi ho jaati, hum yaha se kahi nahi jaayenge" He clutched her waist again and she stared into his eyes. They could just keep looking at each other forever. His face inching closer to hers. She tightened her grip on his hand on her waist and closed her eyes. She couldn't resist anymore and he quickly placed a soft kiss near the corner of her eye. She gasped and slowly opened her eyes. He turned her around and pulled her face towards him..."koi aa jaayega" she breathed hard...he pulled her closer..."kheer jal jaayegi"...he clasped her tiny face in his palms...and just then...
"Kunwar PRATAP aap kaha hai?" a voice boomed from a distance. They snapped out.
"Daarjeeraj" Pratap exclaimed...Ajab quickly pulled herself together and quickly started stirring the kheer.
"Toh yaha hai aap!" Uday Singh landed outside the kitchen. "hum kab se aapko khoj rahey hai! Aur aap yaha hai?!" US asked Pratap in a part authoritative, part inquisitive and partly amused tone.
"Woh Darjeeraj...hum woh...woh...woh .." He was lost, what to answer...US smirked... but continued to pull his leg..
"Yeh woh woh kya laga rakha hai?? Hamari bahu baatayegi humey yaha kya kar rahey they aap" US shot back at Pratap..and Ajab looked up embarrassed...and gulped..Pratap looked at her from the corner of the eye..
"Jee woh yaha...woh jal lene aaye they"...Ajab pinched her eyes and came up with an excuse to save her darling husband from further embarrassment. Pratap quickly nodded in consent..."Jee darjeeraj hum yaha jal lene aaye they" he continued...and exchanged a quick eyelock with Ajab.
US smirked..."accha toh ab agar Jal paan ho gaya ho...toh chaley...humey aapse kucch aavashyak baat kehni thi!" Pratap blinked in consent and slowly walked towards US.
"Kunwar Pratap" US said as a parting sentence...clearing his voice.."Woh kya hai na, yadi aap hamarey bete hai, toh hum bhi aapke pita hai...yeh saari cheezey hum bhi kar chukey hai...agli baar aap aur aapki patni ko kucch naya bahanaa sochna chahiye" US turned his face, trying to hide his laughter and walked away beaming...
