I was absolutely ecstatic, almost bursting with joy. So, in an attempt to further intensify my emotions, I decided to connect my AirPods and immerse myself in the melodies of my favorite songs. My adoration for music knows no bounds, and my spirits soared even higher as the music dripped into my senses.
Vibing all the way along i reached the palace and quickly went to the room, freshened up and came down. "Um hmm bhabhi bade khush lag rhe ho....kahii aj dupahar ka asar toh nahin?" ayansh said entering the dinning room.
(Translation: um hmm, bhabhi you're looking too happy....by any chance is it because of the noon?)
I chocked on air, like fuck!
Shitt!
Itna random?!
He started giggling at my state.
"I only saved you before i guess i made a mistake.....don't worry i always rectify them immediately just let your brother come home" i said while squinting my eyes at him.
The color from his face drained, "hello, hello signal nahi a rahaaa" he said and ran away from there. (Translation: hello, hello signal isn't coming).
Pagal ladkaa huhh!! (Translation: mad boy)
Nearby as a showpiece a mirror was hanging on the wall and when i looked at, what the heck!
My cheeks were like hot tomatoes, ab toh ayansh confirm hogya hoga ki hamne kuch Kiya.....
(Translation: now ayansh will be absolutely sure that we did something)
Kuch kiyaaa?!!! Me aur mere thoughts dono pagall ho rhe hai, i need help god!!!
(Translation: did something?!!! Me and my thoughts both are going mad, i need help god!!!)
Soon everybody gathered for the dinner and we were sitting and talking and enjoying. Out of the blue maa asked me "beta khana kyu nahi kha rhi?".(translation: dear why aren't you eating food)
"Ha wahi esa kyu?" Damini chachi joined her. (Translation: yeah exactly why so?)
"Wohh actually i wasn't hungry much" i replied.
They both gave each other a stare and smiled. Now what happened to both of these? They both just noded their heads and continued to eat.
Dadaji were roasting daksh chahu right now and everybody laughed their lungs out on thier conversation but everybody was interrupted as somebody's cell phone started ringing.
It was of chachu only so he picked up the call and started to talk. After keeping the phone down he said "reyansh won't be coming home today as there is a lot of work stacked up because of his absence which needs immediate attention he said he'll back by tomorrow afternoon. he will take a half day and rest"
Ajj hi nahi ana tha iskoo khadus hukum kahi kaa huhh!! (Translation: he had to choose today's day only to not come home) i huffed internally.
Well no worries i'll talk to him tomorrow he must be too busy as hell. I didn't show my disappointment on my face at all and ate the dinner with everybody.
It was 11 p.m. now so i decided to sleep now and wake up late tomorrow as from day after tomorrow i'll be starting my work so maa advised me to take rest and i agreed. Koi pagall hi hoga jo zyada sone se mana kare (translation: it would be some mad person only who would deny to sleep more)
I entered the room and i guess i'll sleep on the bed today....yayyy!! its all minee, i jumped on the bed covered myself with the duvet. As i tried to close my eyes i realised i wasn't sleepy so i started to scroll Instagram when a message popped on my notification bar.
"You think you escaped with him and now you won't see me, well maybe you're right you may not see me, but remember.... that won't stop me to haunt you "
His pov
Today only these fool employees of mine had to make blunders, i need to sign more 5 termination letters now. And i even now need to monitor the work that is for covering their foolish blunders.
I geared myself up to work 15 hours more and make sure no more silly mistakes are made. The whole night and morning just went on like this and i survived just because of coffee. I already had 5 cups and this was my 6th one.
I massaged my temple a bit and started to wrap up the left over work as it was 1:00 p.m. already. Now if i don't reach home by 2 or mom's gonna berate me for atleast a week then. After an hour finally i wrapped up my work and left for home.
At the Rathore palace
I entered through the hallway and mom came into my view. "Have some water" she offered. I took the glass and drank it. Seeing my face she said "go sleep for a bit you need rest but not before having the lunch that i send to your room".
"No its fine....." I said but her signature mommy glare i was already on my way to the room. Nobody can win infront of her, i bet.
I entered the room but there was nobody ofcourse she must be somewhere else with vidhi and all why would she be here right now? I went to the washroom to get freshen up and clear my mind.
I emerged from the washroom feeling refreshed after a soothing shower. The water had a calming effect on me, but my head well it was still heavy. As I stepped out, I decided to change into my clothes and then made my way out of the closet.
I needed some time to relax , so I stretched out on the couch and closed my eyes for a moment.
I hoped that lying down for a bit would help the headache that was troubling me since morning. But i can't sleep as mom would be sending the lunch here any moment although i don't wanna have anything and just sleep but i wouldn't then mom too won't have food and i can't let that happen.
The door clicked and I knew the food was here i opened my eyes and there she was standing with a covered plate of food in her hands.
She was wearing the mangalsutra and sindoor by herself today and that somehow....lifted my mood. She didn't say anything and kept the plate on the table and opened it. There was sabzi, roti, salad, rice and dal.
I woke up and sat upright. "mom sent me and told you to give food and make sure that you eat it"she said. "Well ok thanks".
Thankss??!! Reyansh rathore tu thanks bhi bolta hai my inners concious mocked. (translation: thanks??!! Reyansh Rathore you say thanks too)
I completely ignored it and started to eat after 15 minutes i completed and she was sitting i front of me on the bed only. She didn't even mive an inch until the plate was empty.
Mom trained her too??
She picked up the plate and was leaving but i held her hand. "The servants can take it you don't have to go"i said and she turned to me.
"I have to report to maa too you know her more than me"
"Yes i know but you're forgetting that you have a phone and you can text her"
In reply she didn't say anything and just sat down again not before keeping the plate back on the table.
I called the servant and she left after taking the plate back and divya too texted mom.
"I wanted to ask something " i started the conversation
"What?"
"I know i said you can reply anytime you want but i just wanted to ask once that did you think about it once?"
Strange silence fell in the room
But after a while she said
"Why do you want me? You can have anyone after our divorce which will happen as soon as i sort out my issues "
"The same question i can ask you why do you like me?"
"Who said i like you? I don't like you hukum sa"
"I am not blind rani sa i know how to read eyes, and lets for a second accept that you don't like me, then why did you let me kiss you yesterday?"
Her eyes widened a bit at my querie but she soon composed herself
"Ummm....umm....that....was...just....a" she stuttered
"Was just a what?"
"But even if i like you we can't be together "
As these words left her mouth that she likes me my brain shutted down, i knew it but hearing this from her own mouth....... felt like my ears are blessed, my mind has became a saner spot registering her word of ecstasy.
"And why can't we be together?" I asked her struggling to manage my state right now.
"Because.....because...you deserve a queen who can help you and be your support in ruling the kingdom and your empire. my inn...inner dem...demons won't let me support you rather worsen the case and deck up your problems more please understand"
"What i want, is for me to choose and decide rani sa....... And all i want for me is YOU.......and what's the advantage of all this huge empire and kindom even if i am not able to accept the one i like as she is, then its all just useless. Sab dhul ke barabar hai fir"
(translation: then everything is equal to loose sand).
"You sure you still would want me even after all these?"
I got up and went towards the bed i could hear her raising heart beats from afar too. I leaned on to her ear and grazed my lips. Her breath hitched.
"Yes....as sure as i was when i shredded the divorce papers into hundreds of pieces" i whispered in her ear ever so slowly.
I stood upright again and looked at her face, her eyes were closed her cheeks were red and hot. Sweat beads were there on her forehead even after the AC was at 18°degree celcius. I love the effect i have on her. Just with a slight touch her condition turned out to be this what if i .......
My thoughts were interrupted as she spoke something "well if you are so sure and adamant then....i am ready to give this marriage a chance".
As these words left her mouth, relief rushed into my veins and mind. It felt like a dream, but even if it is, I never want it to end. I hope this feeling of relief doesn't fade away.
She got up and suddenly i felt something on my cheeks but before i could figure out anything i heard the door closing.
What was that she flew away even in less than a milli second. I walked into the closet and looked at myself in the mirror and there...was...a....mark of lip gloss on my cheek. I raised my hand and touched it.
What did she just do??
Her pov
I literally ran from the room i don't why but i said....yessss to himm..... And even pecked his cheek out of anticipation, i was lost in thoughts and when he said that he would even accept me with my inner demons chasing me i don't know how but....but.... the ice around my heart melted. I haven't even dated anyone before.
Those who proposed couldn't get through that ice after number of trials and efforts but he....the one which i least expected crossed that ice with just... just ...a few words and wait!! Am i going to date my own husband??
Somebody would seriously laugh on hearing this but.....
yess.... anyhow this was the reality,.......
seriously How strange our story is......
