"come on... two queens, two choices.. and I would say just follow the heart.." old guy winked at him...
"I don't know... Its just insane..." rey threw his hands in air...
"Okay here it is son...I don't know you know this or not but The one important thing in love is, 'Finding the right person for spending life with'...and 'Love finds you son, you don't find love.' so come on pick one..." he again shuffled the two cards on table...
Rey closed his eyes making his mind about both the women he loved.. yeah he came in terms with it, the two woman does have their special position in his heart and now to chose whom will be his heart lead...

He saw himself entering home, with her favorite Purple orchids bouquet..." Happy anniversary wifey!!!" he waved those flowers announcing his arrival...
"Go back out Rey..." Kriya yelled from their room, making him grin.
"Why?? Is there anyother man here again?" he raised his eyebrows in sarcasm...
She peeked out from door hinges and replied... "No... he just jumped out of window wearing his pants to come back with my favorite orchids wrapped up for our anniversary gift.." she tweaked her tongue out teasing him...
Moving out & coming face to face towards him, she was looking like tease in those washed denims and white see-through button up shirt..." hey Hubby!! happy anniversary..." she wrapped her arms around his neck...
"Umm... Happy anniversary Kriya!!!" he embraced her from her tiny waist...and she meshed their lips in a quelling heart felt Kiss...
He indicated her to flowers in his hand... " for me?? Ohh they are beautiful Reyaansh..." she was surely in mood to make him go bonkers today with her sudden enticing manner and postures...
She was arranging those flowers in vase and he flowed her..." you know I can't believe it has been a year we are married now..." he said her.
"Time flies when you can wish for it to stay.." she catcalled these words fanning her hot breathe on his nape...
"So this is what you wished for kriya?" he played with her fingers braiding them in his and a smirk spread across his jawline...
"I...made us a reservation for dinner tonight.." he said his plans for their anniversary celebration..
She pouted cutely..." actually I was thinking of you and me staying at house with a quiet dinner, kissing a bit... snuggling a bit..." she raised her eyes in hope...
"And... their may some feast for you like me wrapped in lingerie under this jeans.. and you rocking it..." she pursed her lips making him think what she just said...He looked at her bottoms in jeans and replied..
"I think I will sit down.." reyaansh made his move making her go cynical in pools of wicked laughter...
***********************************************
He sat down on couch with a deep sigh..." what happened you Okay?" she emerged from kitchen holding a flower vase..
"yeah...you look nice by the way.." reyaansh looked at her from top to bottom clad in simple black saree...
She smiled politely..."Thanks...but still I am not ready yet completely..." she brushed her fingers through her hairs...
"Doesn't matter.." he answered her..
She blushed at that..." how come after a year of being married you are still so sweet to me.."
he calmly replied to it..."Because you are you... and you deserve it, after what I did to you for making you go beyond your wishes, so you surely deserve to be cherished..."
She came forward to his lounge chair and leaning over him she kissed him..." you have already made up for it.. all through these years rey..." she sweetly fondled her thumbs around his cheek...
"Ahh.. I should probably get ready for the party..." she declared it while moving towards their room...
"Hey..." rey said to her making her turn...
"Its easy? wasn't for you?"
"yeah...when you are with me, its easiest thing to get over with..." she said the last line while disappearing behind doors...
______________________________
Reyaansh Opened his eyes after seeing the two girls he loved and it was a sneak into life which he will be having with both of them respectively...
"So... made your mind son?" that old man asked reyaansh...
To which he just meekly uttered a yes...and then pointing towards a card on left side he poked it towards that man..." This is the one..." he was determined of it...
"You sure?"
Reyaansh just turned the card upside down and a grin rested his face... he was beaming..
"Well..well, looks like you found your queen..." old man smirked at him..
rey ran his hands through hairs feeling somewhat shy..
"Not many do... so how did you find your queen?"
"I guess, I always knew..." rey confessed and showed him the another ticket he had bought earlier making that old man laugh..
Rey took out his smartphone dialing her number he prayed silently she pick up the call... and his prayers answered...
"Hey!! Its me, look I am at the airport.. and I have two tickets for British Columbia, Canada..." he paused for a second...
"Do you wanna spend rest of your life with me?"
and he cut the call... taking his place again... he was now impatient not knowing whether she will come or not..
"So... you will get married?" that same stranger who somehow told rey in those trivial talks what he needs to do asked him..
"I hope so... only if she will show up.." this feeling of wait was making him nervous...
Old guy unfolded his newspaper and said.." She will show up definitely..."
"I don't know..may be yes.. somewhere I too have this feeling.." rey looked towards announcement board checking what is timing of his flight, but it still shows delayed adjacent to his flight name...
"I will tell you something son, love has little bit to do with destiny, fate and stars...alot more than simple things what we smart people think we know about it but these are the facts at which women are good than we are.." rey showed his ear to ear grin at his words..
"You see love doesn't knock twice and when it does make sure you open the doors... and you had a chance so you made a choice.."
"And i would say you made a good one.." he waggled his fingers at rey and then started getting up for his flight boarding which just announced...
"And why do you say that?" reyaansh knitted his brows in question...
"Because she showed up..." old man motioned him at back and left after patting rey's shoulder... "And she is pretty.." he winked...
Reyaansh turned his head, his lips curved in a beautiful smile on envisaging her panicky self.. she was there with her red duffel bag, her hairs messed and tangled up with runner shoes... he recalled the first time he met her...
He advanced his hurried steps towards her and got her bombarding at him..
"You are such an Idiot, jerk...You can't call a girl from airport proposing her..." she clutched his collar tightly.
Reyaansh crept his hands on her lower back supporting her from tumbling down..."I know..I know this sounds crazy..But.."
"You don't know you are the biggest crazy and mess Reyaansh Singhania... But you are my mess..." she had those small tears brimming up her eyes...with a gleaming smile adorning her elegant face..
"And I love you..." she admitted it.
"I love you too.. Kriya!!!" he leaned in for a soft engaging of their lips...sealing her with a promise of being together for forever...
She meshed her hands at his back with his hairs and he lifted her, sweeping off floor... He nuzzled more into her hairs and caressed her nose button with his..
"Ready to view Whistler's snow?" he asked her...
"With you.. Always.." she pecked his lips again... and they heard announcement for their flight... reyaansh saw the signs changing on flight board from delayed to arrived...He laughed at irony of what god has done today...
"You are my lady luck Kriya..." he grabbed their luggage, placing his hand around her waist they moved towards boarding area..
And Reyaansh took that card, Queens of heart... having a glance of it he kept that in his back pocket knowing someday he will tell kriya story about this card and this retrieval of love... But right now the most important thing is he have found his queen of heart...
