Aishwarya POV

"To...touch me, please,"

I managed to say in my shaky voice and felt him kissing my cheek and saying in a slow voice.

"Not today, Baby,"

He said in the slow voice and I tried to push his shoulder to look into his eyes. He was seeming sleepy and I sighed deeply with the slight frustration building into me.

"Why not?"

I asked and he held my hand and pinned it over my head.

"When you will wear those golden bangles again,"

He said and I realised that he had noticed that I was not wearing those golden bangles now.

"I am sorry I did not mean to hurt you,"

I tried to say but he cut me off.

"You did mean to hurt me, Aishwarya,"

He said and a slight smile appeared on my lips.

"Okay, yes, I did mean to hurt you becau-,"

"Yes, I understand baby, now good night,"

He cut me off and I inhaled deeply with the frustration and I did not know if he did not want to touch me, why was lying over me.

I tried to pull my from his hold and pressed my hand to push him heavy.

"Ahh, you are heavy, move aside,"

I tried to say and he moved to his side and pulled me closer to him. I looked at his sleepy face and I could tell that he was already sleeping.

I inhaled deeply and silently kept staring at him. He was breathing calmly, his arm was wrapped around me and I closed my eyes too in sometime and did not know when I fall asleep.

I woke up when I felt slight noise in the my chamber. I spread my arms wide to search for him but finding him not sleeping beside me, my lashes struggled to fight with the light falling on them to open up.

I inhaled deeply and yawned while looking around in the chamber and seeing him all dressed and sitting on the couch with a letter in his hand made me smile.

He might have sensed that I woke up because he lifted his gaze up and looked at me.

"Good morning,"

He said and I smiled a little.

"Good morning, Hukum,"

"How are you feeling now?"

He asked and I pushed the comforter away and stepped down the bed and was feeling really better.

"Better,"

I said and he lowered his gaze down again. He had already taken bath and looking very good.

"I think you should stay here for a while and come back to Suryagarh after getting okay and lighter with your mind,"

He said and I silently walked towards and stood in front of him.

"I am feeling better and I want to go back with you to Suryagarh. I am sorry for coming here like this,"

I said in the slow voice and he lifted his gaze again to look at me.

"I think its not good that you showed up here at midnight and now in just one day leaving with me. You should spend some time with your father and come back happily,"

He tried to say and I pouted my face and shook my head.

"Was not the two months enough to stay apart?"

I asked in a slow and nervous voice and he inhaled a deep breath.

"Its not about staying apart, Aishwarya. But, we have to be consious about what we do because people see us and we should not do anything that will give them a wrong message. I am afraid people might think that there is something wrong between us thats why you come here at midnight and suddenly going back to the Suryagarh too. Let the choas be calm,"

He said and I nodded a little and I lowered my gaze for a moment before saying.

"But, people are waiting for me. I have a business to run and my meetings are pending,"

I tried to say in the slow voice and suddenly a slight smile appeared on his face and he teasingly replied.

"Ohh, A business to run, I see,"

I giggled a little hearing him and he said.

"So, you are coming with me? You do not need rest?"

He asked and I immediately nodded.

"Yes, I am coming with you and I do not need rest,"

I said and he nodded.

"Alright, get ready soon then,"

He said and I immediately ran into the bathing room and quickly took the bath before getting dressed. The water felt cold but I cared less about it.

I took out the bright pink attire and changed into it. My wrist were feeling lighter with the loss of weight of my bangles.

After quickly getting ready I walked out into the bedroom and looked at him sitting on the couch with the breakfast served in front of him. He was busy reading something and lifted his gaze as the noise of my anklet bells were echoing in the chamber.

A smile appeared on his face and I noticed him looking at me form top to down in a moment and then staring deep into my eyes.

"Seems like you have plans for to...night,"

He said in the slow voice and I felt slight shiver running down my spine and I shook my head slowly.

"I do not know,"

I said and walked slowly to sit beside him and dared to lift my gaze to look at him.

"Breakfast,"

He said and I nodded.

He helped me eat and we both started to eat in silence but his eyes were not leaving mine and I was feeling really nervous with his gaze darted on me all the time.

We finished the breakfast and he asked me to meet my father before leaving. I nodded and walked out of the chamber to meet him.

"Baapusa,"

I called him in a slow voice after entering into his chamber and seeing him seating on the couch. His lips spread into a slight smile as he saw me coming.

"Aishwarya, come sit here,"

He said and I silently sat beside him.

"Are you okay now?"

He asked and I nodded slowly.

"Yes, I am feeling better,"

I said and he caressed my head gently and asked.

"What happened between you two? Is it sorted now?"

He asked and I inhaled a deep breath and nodded lightly before saying.

"I read that letter you gave to him about 100000 gold coins in exchange of my happiness,"

I said in the slow voice and he lowered his gaze and shook his head.

"I am so sorry for that, Aishwarya. But, I liked him for you and I could not think of anything else. But, trust me, he did not accept it. He denied about that proposal on my face and he is a genuine person. I have just extended a political loan to them, thats it,"

He said with the slightly shaky voice and I nodded.

"Yes, he told me. I am sorry, Baapusa, after reading that letter I suddenly felt betrayed and hopeless. And, I could not think of anything else but come here,"

I said and he thinend his brows all of sudden.

"You read that? You started reading?"

He asked with the amusement and doubtful expression on his face and I nodded slowly.

"Yes, he taught me how to read and write and also he helped me set up a business of my liking,"

I said in the slow voice not knowing if he would like it or not.

"Ohh,"

He looked shocked.

"Woww, I mean thats good to hear. But, everyone supports you?"

He asked with the disbelief and I nodded.

"Yes, Ranaji, Jiji, Devarsa, Hukum and everyone is very supportive and they even help me in so many things,"

I said and he placed his hand on my head.

"Thats so good to hear, Aishwarya. I am so proud of you,"

He said and I smiled and nervously tried to ask.

"Baapusa, I am sorry to come here like this but I want to go back with him today itself,"

My voice came out low and he smiled and nodded.

"Ofcourse, my child, you should go with him,"

He said and suddenly the voice of Hukum caught our attention.

"Ready,"

I immediately stood up and looked at my father who also stood up from the couch.

I looked at him bending forward to touch his feet and my father spread his arms to invite him for a hug.

"Come here,"

He looked at me too and he collected me into a hug too.

"May God bless both of you with my happiness and I wish you two to have a beautiful child soon,"

He said and I immediately broke the hug and lowrered my gaze.

"I hope everything is sorted now, Prince Ranvijay,"

My father said and I looked at him smiling and nodding.

"Ji and thank you for informing me about her arrival here before telling anyone else,"

He said and he nodded.

Hukum looked at me with a slight smirk and I felt my stomach twisting with the nervousness.

My father walked with us to the main door of the Kingdom where the palanquin and his horse were waiting for him.

He helped me sit into the palanquin and I asked an attendee to sit with me.

From teh crack of the curtain I saw him climbing on the horse and we both departed for Suryagarh.

The thoughts of him and everything that happened were clouding my brain but the thing that were making me more bothered was that I wanted him closer to me now.

I mean, he was silent about it but I could guess what he wanted now. There was a slight detachment between us and I wanted to erase it.

Maybe it was because of the work and pressure or maybe because the situation was not right the few days.

I did not know but I kind of feel what would happen once we step into the Suryagarh.

And, somewhere in my heart I was afraid about it yet wanted it to happen.

Jiji said that coming close to your partner was not just the need of the body but the need of the intimacy and love too.

Being intimate was not just about enjoying but surrendering yourself completely to your love showing your immense trust and love for him. And, getting intimate was not just about the thing of putting that into a woman's body but about building a deeper connection, transfer of energies, sprituality, trust, love and countless emotions.

I wanted to feel that with him now. I wanted to be closer to him now.

Suddenly, I felt the palanquin to be kept down and I looked outside to realise that we have reached now. My brain was clouded with his thoughts through all the way.

"Aishwarya,"

I heard his voice and stepped out of the palanquin to look at him. I was feeling nervous about facing Jiji again. She would definitely scold me.

I adjusted my white dupatta with the pink velvet border and walked with him towards the main entrance.

With one lift of my gaze, I noticed Jiji, Ranaji and Devarsa waiting for us. I was feeling nervous but suddenly Hukum said in a slow voice.

"Its okay, Aishwarya, its family,"

I inhaled deeply and collected myself to face them.

"Pranam, Bhaisa,"

Hukum said and we both leaned forward to touch his feet.

"Pranam, Bhabhisa,"

"Jiji,"

I muttered slowly and we both touched her feet too. She pulled me into a hug and patted my back.

"Never ever leave us like this, understand. You should have atleast waited for me to come back home before leaving, stupid girl,"

She said and I could sense the worry in her voice.

"I am sorry, Jiji,"

I said and suddenly heard Ranaji's voice.

"You are not just Aishwarya now, Aishwarya. You are our rarest gem and you should be careful about your safety,"

He said and I did not reply anything. I had never talked to him, directly. It was not a good gesture for me to talk to my father-in-law like figure.

"Bhabhisa,"

Suddenly, the voice of Devarsa caught my attention and a smile appeared on my face looking at him.

"Your customers are waiting for another lot,"

He said and tried to hug me but Hukum pressed his palm against his chest and pulled him closer to himself.

"Yes, Bhaisa, I know you were missing me,"

I chuckled looking at them hugging each other and Hukum patted his shoulder.

"How are you? Agastya,"

He asked and Devarsa released the hug and smiled.

"Motivated to begin the new chapter of my life,"

He said and suddenly Ranaji asked.

"Which chapter?"

Hukum smiled and looked at him.

"Come, let me tell you Bhaisa,"

He said and I looked at all the three brothers walking together inside and Jiji walking with me.

"Is everything okay now?"

Jiji asked and walked with me to my chamber.

I told her everything and suddenly asked what I wanted to ask.

"Jiji, do you think its a good idea to begin the next chapter of our life tonight?"

I asked and she immediately smiled.

"Why not?"

I inhaled deeply and looked at her.

"But, what exactly should I do? I mean, I think he is slightly angry with me and what i-,"

"Let me tell you,"

She cut me off.
