Then ge  coaxed her to elaborate  settling his questioning  eyes on rahman s thick lashes

Rahman without prejudice  expressed she was very brainy  to which  a loud mirthful laugh escaped  from his mouth  

He pleasantly and  warmly  got up to go change into something  relaxing  and  asked her to freshen up and get rid off of all the heavy bridal to something  homely  because  it had been a long exhausting day, ,
