His pov
"do whatever you want to do with me mr. rathore" she said and slided her hand on my hair. I immediately pulled the brakes.
What's wrong with her?
I held her hand and brought it down from my head, without breaking the eye contact. her hands were insanely cold in this hot weather too. I removed my coat, kept it on the backseat and switched off the AC.
"you sure I can do whatever I want to do to you?" I asked. She just kept blinking her doe eyes to my question. What is she doing? I yanked my eyes away from her and stretched my hand to start the car but she grabbed my hand.
I turned my eyes towards her.
She said"Yes"
Ok she is 100 % drunk, she left my hand and after that I started the car. On the way all the time she just kept looking out of the window.
I parked the car infront of the hotel. I got down and opened the the door for her. She slowly came out of the car and I took out the mask from my pocket and wore it as nobody so that nobody recognises me her. we entered the hotel and straightly went to the room because my PA already booked it and gave me the keys.
Divya was very silent the whole time, she just went and sat on the couch, keeping her head on the arm of the sofa. I picked up the in room telephone and made a call to room service for ordering a glass of lemonade.
In 15 minutes the lemonade arrived and, after collecting it I removed my mask and went to the couch. Divya wasn't sleeping as her eyes were open but she wasn't reacting too. I stretched my hand to give her the glass. She glanced at me and then at the glass, in a lightning second she took it from my hand and drank it all.
After finishing it she made a face and said "umm why is this not bitter like the previous one?'.
God! Isko laga ki isko daru mil rahi hai.(translation: God! She thought she's getting alcohol).
I took the glass from her hand and turned to place it on the nearby table. I kept it on the table and the room's bell rang, I knew who it was. I opened my door and collected the parcel. I gave the parcel to her and said "change into this". She looked at me baffled.
"just don't ask why now"
"fine"
She left for the washroom. I kept the small box that came with it in my pocket. After good twenty minutes she came out of the washroom wearing the gorgeous red anarkali and I would be lying if I said she wasn't looking mesmerizing.
( He was wearing the same clothes that he was wearing in the morning)
My heartbeat stopped and my breath got stuck in my lungs. What is this effect that she have on me, I don't know but I need to get rid of this soon or else.....
I yanked my eyes away from her and opened the door of the room. I wore my mask, then i got out and said "come out". She looked a bit sober now from her expressions as it had been approx 2-3 hours since she drank alcohol.
She didn't move from her place. I grabbed her arm and dragged her out of the hotel. When we reached the car, she pulled her hand forcefully out of my grip.
Her pov
I pulled my hand and shouted "what do you think you are doing?
where the hell does he want to take me. "sit quietly" he said to me.
"and why the hell would I follow your orders" I said and his eyes grew a shade darker.
Just seeing those eyes I sat in the car I don't know why?
Maybe because still I was high. He sat in and started to drive. None of us tried to break the silence.
Finally after whole 15 minutes I got the courage to speak. "would you please take the effort to inform me that where are you taking me?" I asked but he showed no reaction to it. He kept his eyes on the road only. Ahh! Ok fine don't talk . why do I care.
I should call the guards, but where is my phone I don't remember when I last saw it. I need to leave , I don't want to go with him. I tried to find it but it was of no use.
"don't stress your brain your phone is with me and I am in no mood to return it to you now"he said. "I don't care about you fuckin mood just leave me and give me my phone" I said.
"Don't. curse." he spoke stressing on each word and his voice was colder than ever.
"see you can't tolerate me and I can't tolerate you so why are you doing this"
He pulled the brakes with a jerk. I somehow managed not to fall forward.
"because you intervened in the matter you shouldn't had, you only said that you were ready for the consequences then now bear them"
"the guards would have called bhai till now, so you should be ready for the consequences"
"you just keep forgetting miss rajput that I am the king so nobody can do anything to me"
"You are impossible"
"for now we have reached our destination so please get out of the car"
he said this and I got out quickly, in hope that I can run. But just as I started to move he grabbed my arm from the backside and yanked me towards him. We were so close. My back hit his chest and my hand was behind my back secured by his hand.
My breath hitched. He came close to my ear and an electric shiver ran down my whole body.
"don't act smart" he whispered grazing my ear. Hopefully after a few seconds he left me and my breath returned to my lungs. He grabbed my arm and started to climb the stairs of what looked like a temple.
Wait a temple??!!
Why the hell are we here , for sure we aren't here to pray. This man is seriously unpredictable. As we reached up to the temple what I saw shook me to the core.
Havan kund and other preprations for marriage were done there. No, no, no, what is this happening?
Maybe I am thinking too much, maybe this has been set up for another couple.
But soon my fear turned into reality when he made me stand there and said "sit".
"are you crazy? What do you think that you are the king so you can do anything? Nahi ap kuch bhi ese nhi kar sakte hukum sa! apka irada kya hai?"(translation: no you can't do any such thing hukum sa! What are your intentions?)
"mera irada?? tumne hi kaha tha na ki do whatever you want to do with me Mr Rathore?"(translation: my intentions?? You only said, that do whatever you want to do with me Mr Rathore)
"I don't know what are you saying" I said fumbling I remember everything and I am fucking mad that I told those things to him.
"I knew you would say this so I have recorded it" he said and turned on his phone's recordings. Seriouslyyy??? He recorded it , oh god now I can't deny it too.
"I was drunk"
"so what"
"so just forget it and let me go" I said.
"I can't let you go, so just sit and marry me"
"I won't"
"see don't force me to do things that I don't wanna do"
"what things?"
"if you don't sit right now I can do numerous things to your family that you can't even imagine, rajput's construction business is soaring so high I can bring it down in a snap and you very well know that. And for you kind information your fucking law can't even bind me,' I AM THE KING'. I can bring your family to road in no time so if you want that then fine, it would just require a phone call"
he said this and pulled out his phone and dialed a number. No , no my family shan't suffer because of me. I can't let that happen. I snatched the phone from his hand.
"I am sitting please don't do anything to them" I said this and closed my eyes. A tear rolled down from my eyes. This is not what I wanted from my fate.
Why me?
God! why me?
I had so many dreams about marriage just like other girls and seeing them shattering broke my heart. Involuntarily I sat on the place on which I was asked to sit. The panditji started the holy fire in the havan kund. The he started chanting the mantras.
They were literally not audible to me as I was just physically present there mentally i was in my hotel room sleeping right now.
My tears were falling continously much to my dislike. I hated crying infront of people. I was feeling completely empty right now , was this my fate?
How can god be so cruel?
Pandit ji said something and he stood up from his place. I didn't even realise that the gathbandhan was done. He stretched his hand towards me but I stood up without acknowledging his hand and wiped my tears.
We took the seven pheras which were the most precious event of a couple's life. But to me they were the destruction of my dreams, the flame that took away my life that I had before entering the temple.
We sat on the places again and pandit ji asked him to apply sindoor. He took it from pandit ji and came closer to me to apply it on my hairline.
I closed my eyes and more tears rolled down my cheeks. He applied the vermillion and some of it fell on my nose too.
My soul was screaming internally. But I won't change my decision if someone even asks me the same thing a thousand times. I can't let my family fall down because of me , they have done more than enough for me , maybe now this is my turn to payback.
Now panditji asked him to tie the magalsutra. He took out a small box from his pocket. He took out the nuptial chain from the box and tied it to my neck.
His face was totally expressionless right now. Why does he want a queen like me? why is he doing this?
"now you are Mrs." DIVYA REYANSH SINGH RATHORE " he whispered in my ear.
I shook hearing this name from his mouth.
