After almost 10 hours of long horseback riding, I started to get tired and lean into omkara's back side.
But, soon I realize my hands were travelling to the places that they shouldn't.
"Having fun back there?" Omkara asked with smile on his face.
"I feel asleep, I'm sorry" I said.
"No problem, we have been riding for quite some time already, I think we should take a break" He offered.
"No! They probably have the best horse back men on our tail, we shouldn't stop!"
"If you haven't notice Gauri, I don't even know where we are and for your kind information, no one is following us" he said while stopping the horse near a stream.
"What you mean, by you don't know where we are?"
"I mean about an hour ago, I gave up and just kept going straight".
"You are so unbelievable!" I yelled at him, my blood was boiling and I was about to punch him on the face.
"One, you didn't even make a map of where you going, you just got a horse and ran.
Two, relax if I am right, I think I know some place not far from here.
"Are you sure?' I asked.
"Very, now drink this, you look paler than usual" he said pulling me towards the stream.
I dipped my head down and take a big gulp of water. He was right, I felt a much better after taking a sip.
The sun was in my eyes and I was turning away, Omakara took his shirt off and started to clean it in the stream.

His body was mildly tanned and all muscle, I could almost see the formation of a beautiful 6 pack coming on. "So why you going to marry him?" Omkara asked snapped my attentions away from his packs, which I think he caught me staring because he had wide grin on his face.
"Because I had not been given any choice" I said without making eye contact with him.
"Everyone has a choice" he said.
"Well! I didn't!" I snapped at him.
Shocking with my outburst, he took a step back.
I sighed. "Look I don't really had a choice, I had to do it for the sake of kingdom, meaning it does matter whether I want it or not, I was forced to marry that moron"
"If it is any constellation, I think you would have been a beautiful bride and no wan should walk around with bruised cheek" he said taking a step close to me, running his thumb along my bruise cheeks and bottom lips.
His eyes in the sun was a perfect shade of golden brown and I couldn't help but have the urge to lean up and kiss him . However, that soon ended when he took a step back and announced that we should get going.
I grabbed his wrist and said "You must be very tired as you have been awake for 10 hours while I slept on your back, the least I can do is to return the favor". I let go his wrist and climbed onto the horse taking the reins.
"Aren't you going to get on?" I asked looking down at him.
"You don't have to gauri, I'm not one who get tired easily" he said.
"I can see you rubbing your eyes from here, just get on and stop being a girl, omkara" I said with smile giving my hand, giving him a boost.
Sliding his hand on the the corset of my dress, he whispered on my ears, "Is this okay?" thank god he couldn't see me blush.
"Y-Y-Yes, its fine" I said as the horse started to move.

*************************************************
When we finally reached our destination, it almost sunset, I shook omkara awake since he almost instantly fell asleep on my back.
"Omkara, I think we are here" I said.
"What?" he grudgingly, hoping of the horse he grabbed me by waist with and brought me down.

"Was this the place you were talking about?" I asked, eyeing the cute little cottage which he told me about , how he use to come here all the time , cause the lady that lived here was like second mother to him. We made our way to the up the path and omkara knocked on the door, twice.
"Are you sure someone lives here?" I asked doubtfully.
"If she is not here, most likely her husband is. I know Divya Ma would never abandoned this place" He said confidently.
What felt like forever, there was still no answer at the door?
"Maybe we can go through the window or something?" I suggested
"Hell No! Are you crazy? We might end up, breaking something!" He said.
"But it's worth a shot!" I said while making my way towards the back for an open window.
"Gauri! Come back here!" he said chasing after me. I smacked right at someone.
"Trespassing are we, little girl?" A deep voice asked me. I was too afraid to look up and see who it was.
"Harsh Uncle!" Omkara yelled and ran over, hugging a man.
"Where is Divya Ma?" Omkara asked.
"Oh she is the in the garden, finishing up picking corns" Harsh Uncle said.
"Who is this little girl of yours, Omkara?" He asked while clapping his big meaty hand hand on omkara's shoulder.
"She is friend of mine"
"Hello, I'm sorry about um....
"Don't say sorry for anything, a friend of omkara is friend of mine" He said with wink.
"Harsh, I thought you said you were coming back to help me" An old woman appearing from vast garden.
"Oh dear, It's my baby omkara" She yelled, dropping the basket of freshly picked fruit and veggies, running over to hug omkara.
"How have you been, my son?" She said over-joy.
"I am well" he said smiling.
"Well, what are you doing here?" Harsh Uncle asked taking a seat in chair near the back entrance of the door.
"My friend and I have been travelling for some time now and I remembered the way here, I was wondering if we could stay over for few days" Omkara said.
"Of course, we don't want to intrude or anything" I said in big blur of words.
"Of course, you can omkara, don't you know you can always come here anytime, you want"
She said lovingly.
"Thak you so much" I said.
"So what is your name , sweetie?" Divya Ma asked . Oh No ! I haven't thought of that . I don't expect people to know I am a stupid runaway princess, so that they can message my parents to come get me. I started panicking until Omkara said. ' Her name is Sati" "Oh the name of goddess parvati" Divya Ma said.
" Well you must ne hungry and want to freshnen up, Why don't Omkara show you where everything is and you can shower and take a nap before dinner.
"Thank you so much" I said again .
"Oh it's no a problem at all sweetie , and by the way in the closet nearby the hall , I have some old dresses from I was about your age , you can wear them and help to anything you want .
She opened the lock door for us and shoved us inside .
"Thank you so much Omkara , for doing that for me" I told him , facing him.
"Well it's not aeronautical engineering,  I could see the panicked on your face so I had to think of something"
"Well it's so smart of you , by the way I like the name , Sati" I said with hint of flirt in my voice .
Bending down , whispering to my hear .
" Well , in that case , be prepared to hear it more often Sati" He said while grabbing my hand and begin the tour of the cottage .
