Chapter 6: **A Royal Encounter**
Ayush and Radha finally arrived in London on holiday. They had decided to visit London and see all of its grand sights like the Buckingham Palace and the Tower of London.
Ayush had never been to Europe before and he was very excited about his holiday. He and Radha went to Buckingham Palace on their first day in London to see the Queen's Guard marching outside.
He took some photos with Radha outside the palace and then went to their hotel again. Ayush decided to walk around London for a while as he had not seen enough of it yet.
He walked across London Bridge and then across the River Thames. Ayush walked up to St. Paul's Cathedral and then looked at it. It was a beautiful cathedral and reminded him of the Taj Mahal in India.
Ayush walked down towards the London Eye again and saw many tourists there. He wanted to get into the Eye to see London from above.
Ayush joined the long line of people and waited. He finally got into one of the Eye's capsules after an hour and then looked outside the window.
The view from the top was very beautiful and Ayush enjoyed it. He saw many of London's famous buildings from above and was impressed.
He got out of the capsule again and then started walking towards Trafalgar Square. Ayush saw Nelson's Column there again and then looked at the National Gallery.
He saw some artists painting there again and then suddenly saw a young woman walking towards him. She had long blonde hair and was wearing a blue dress.
She looked at Ayush again and then smiled. "Hello...," she said to him.
Ayush looked at her again and said, "Hello."
She smiled again and said, "I am Lady Diana Spencer." She was Charles's girlfriend now and soon to be married to him.
Ayush smiled back and said, "I am Ayush Kumar."
Diana suddenly looked at his medal hanging around his neck again. "What is this?" she asked him curiously.
"It is India's highest military medal given by Indira Gandhi," Ayush explained proudly. "I won it by saving India from breaking apart."
Diana suddenly smiled. She liked brave men like Ayush who fought to save their countries. She started talking to Ayush again happily.
They talked for many hours about their families and countries. Ayush told her about his parents, Radha, and Vijay. Diana told him about her brother Charles Spencer and her soon to be husband, Prince Charles.
Ayush saw how happy Diana was and knew that she would be a great queen one day. They walked around Trafalgar Square again and then went back to Ayush's hotel room.
Diana asked him if he wanted to join her for lunch at the Buckingham Palace the next day. Ayush happily agreed and then slept for the night dreaming about Diana.
He met Diana at the palace again the next day dressed in his finest suit. Diana greeted him happily and then introduced him to the Queen and Charles.
They sat down for lunch and Ayush talked about India's history with the Queen and Charles. He told them about its great emperors, the Mughals and the British Raj.
The Queen was impressed by Ayush and liked him. Ayush finished lunch and then hugged Diana goodbye again.
He had never felt this way before with any woman. Ayush went back to his hotel again and slept again dreaming of Diana.
They kept on meeting again for the next few days before Ayush returned back to India. He hugged Diana tightly one last time and then went to Heathrow.
Ayush took his flight back to India again and then slept all the way back. He knew that he loved Diana very much now and wanted to see her again.
He arrived back home and then told Radha about Diana. She smiled and said, "Diana seems like a great lady. You should marry her." Ayush smiled and then called Roger in London.
Roger greeted him happily again and asked what he wanted. Ayush said, "I want to marry Lady Diana. Please ask Charles if it is okay."
Roger laughed and said, "You are asking the Prince of Wales for permission to marry his girlfriend?"
Ayush said, "Please do it. I love Diana very much." Roger laughed and then called Buckingham Palace again.
He called Ayush back after an hour and said, "The Queen said it is okay with her but you have to meet Diana's parents for permission."
Ayush agreed and then went back to London with Radha. They took their flight to London and then arrived in a few hours. Ayush met Diana's parents in London again.
They smiled at him and asked who he was. Ayush introduced himself and said that he wanted to marry Diana. They looked at him again curiously and then asked who his father was.
Ayush told them about his father again. They suddenly looked at each other again and then said, "No...you cannot marry our daughter."
They did not want their daughter to marry a poor man like Ayush. Ayush looked at them sadly but then walked out of the house.
He hailed a cab and then drove to Diana's house. He met her again in the garden and then told her what had happened.
Diana looked at him sadly again but then suddenly said, "I don't care about my parents. I want to marry you."
Ayush hugged her tightly again and then kissed her. He knew that Diana loved him very much now too. He asked her to come to India and meet his sister and mother.
She agreed and Ayush booked their tickets to India.
Ayush took Diana to his house in Kolkata and introduced her to his mother and sister. His mother was very happy to meet Diana and hugged her tightly. Radha was impressed too and smiled at Diana.
Ayush then took Diana on a tour of India. They visited all of India's famous places like the Taj Mahal, Red Fort, and the Ganges River. Diana was impressed by India's beauty and rich culture.
They finally returned back to London after two weeks and then booked a church for their wedding. The Queen and Charles would come to their wedding too.
Their wedding became international news. The press from all over the world came to report on the wedding of the Ghost and Lady Diana.
Ayush put on his best suit again on the day of the wedding and then went to the church again with Radha.
Diana came into the church dressed in a beautiful white dress. Ayush gasped in surprise at her beauty again. She came up to him and then kissed him. The priest declared them husband and wife and Ayush hugged Diana tightly.
The guests all applauded as Ayush and Diana walked out of the church together. He was now a member of the British Royal Family but Ayush did not care.
He still wanted to serve his country again and then told Diana about it. She happily agreed and said, "My husband, the brave soldier."
Ayush loved Diana very much and knew that she loved him too. He took her home again and they made love passionately.
Ayush then told Diana that he wanted to have children but she said, "Not now, Ayush. I still want to travel around the world."
Ayush nodded and then said, "Okay...but you have to come with me on my missions too."
Diana agreed happily and then kissed him again. She was very adventurous and loved going on missions with her husband.
Ayush and Diana then went on many missions together. They visited countries like Afghanistan and Pakistan to kill terrorists. Ayush was happy to have Diana by his side on his missions.
They returned back to India on holiday after a few months. Ayush took Diana to meet his father's grave and then took her to a fancy restaurant for dinner.
Ayush and Diana returned back to England again and then started building a big house in London. Diana suddenly told him that she was pregnant again.
Ayush was very happy now and said, "That is great news!" Diana laughed and then hugged him tightly. They were having twins this time and Ayush was thrilled.
They waited patiently for the twins to be born. Ayush still went on missions with Diana but he always made sure that she was safe.
The twins were finally born and Ayush was very happy again. They named the boys Aryan and Arjun and then started raising them.
