€  SHEHZAADE RIYADH'S CHAMBER

€ NIGHT

I move my face to side squeezing my eyes  tightly my breathing stopped, everything halt as I wait for the sword but I feel the sharpness of sword on my cheek just below my eyes.

I slowly open my eyes and saw his eyes staring straight at me. He bend down so we are at same level. He is so close to me I can see his eyes perfectly his pupil dilated making his dark green eyes turn more dark.

" Nazre dekho..nazro ki dhaar dekho"

" Look at eyes.....look at the sharpness of eyes" He whispered moving closer and I move backwards, my fists clenched the sheets tightly.

He placed his knee on the bed climbing on it and remove his sword, my eyes followed his movements he place the sword down on bed beside me I slowly breath making my chest heave up then turn my head to look at him. He move more closer and I move backwards and fell on the bed.

He hover over me and I turned my face to side. My breathing was slow and deep but my heartbeats are so fast. He became King now there will be no one above him in this kingdom and now he can do anything to anyone.

" Hume pata tha aap mohobbat nahi karti humse"

" I knew that you don't love me"

I feel his nose touching my hair and slowly he move down to my ear. My heart is slamming against my ribs there is cold tingling sensation in my hands and feet in anxiety and fear of what he will do next.

" Par hume yeh aapke muh se sun kar behad mayoosi hui"

" But I'm very disappointed to hear this from your mouth" he buried his face in my hair and I close my eyes, his lips touch me behind my ear and I feel goosebumps around the area.

" Humara dil tut gaya"

" My heart gets broken" he whispered lowly in my ear and I shivered feeling his hot breath on my ear but his words caught my attention and my eyes shot open.

I turned my head and we come to face to face. He was very close his nose touching mine.

" Dil.....hriday hai apke pass?"

" Heart....do you have heart?" I taunt him.

He widened his eyes and place his hand on the left side of his chest and look at me with wide innocent eyes.

" Beshak humare paas dil hai"

I stare at him and he grabbed my wrist and I struggle but he place my palm where his palm were.

" Dekhiye"

" Feel it" he cover my hand with his so I wouldn't take my hand off.

I feel emotions rushed to me and tears filled my eyes. I placed my both hands on his chest.

" Then why did you do that to me?"

" Why did you ruin my life?" I fisted his kurta and tear slide down from my eyes.

" Humara paas dil hai iska yeh matlab nahi hum iska istemal karte hai "

" I have heart but it doesn't mean I use it" he chuckled and grabbed my both wrists and held them above my head.

" Is kaam ke liye humara shatir zehen hai"

" For work I have a sharp brain" he whispered coming closer and my breath hitched seeing the evilness in his eyes.

" Aree roiye mat Shehzaadi"

" Don't cry Princess" he move backwards and bring his hand to my cheek to wipe my tears. I move my face to side to avoid his touch but he was insufferable.

" Inte aansu itni nafrat kyu Shehzaadi. Suryapratap Garh me rehti toh konsi Mallika ban jati banti kisi ki begum hi"

I turn my face and look at him with hate. My throat is burning all the emotions I'm feeling are turn in to tears except anger and it's words put oil in it.

"  Aap bachi nahi rahi Rajkumari, Rani banne ka swapan chor dijiye"

{You're not child anymore, leave the dream of becoming Queen}

" Princess you can't be a Queen it's impossible"

" KYU! Kyu Hum Rani Kyu Nahi Ban Sakte?"

" WHY! Why I Can't Become a Queen?"

My voice come out loud and powerful.

He stare at me then his lips pulled up and he start laughing loudly and I stare at him till he stopped laughing.

" Mallika"

" Queen" he chuckled moving his head down.

" Kyu apka bhi toh swapan tha Maharaj banne ka hum toh aap par nahi has rahe"

" It was your dream too I'm not laughing at you" I said and he stop laughing and look up at me and smirked.

" Kyuki aapke or humare bich intiyaaz hai"

" Because there is difference in you and me"

" Aurat or Mard ka"

" Woman and man" he said becoming serious.

" Kya bhibinyata hai?"

" What difference?"

" Bataye?"

" Tell?" He raise his brow and his gaze move up to down on my body and  then he look at me and his lips pulled in a disgusting smirk making me clenched my teeth. He remove his grip from my wrists and grab my right hand.

" Aapke yeh najuk hath apne shohar ke liye lajeez khana banane ke liye hai na ki shamsheer chalane ke liye"

" Your delicate hands are for making delicious food for your husband not for sword" he stare at my hand rubbing his thumb on the back of my hand. He was too distracted by my hand and I took the opportunity move my left hand down to take out my dagger. I gripped the handle tightly.

" Parantu khanjar ko yeh baat nahi pata"

" But dagger don't know about this" I  move it but he grab my wrist just as it could touch him. I pursue my lips using all strength to stap him but he is grabbing my wrist tightly.

" Yeh duniya takat se chalti hai or kisme kitni takat hai yeh aapne dekh liya"

" This world runs on strength and you have seen who has how much strength" He pinned my hand beside my head and I release the breath I was holding. He look at me smriked but couldn't help the laughter which is bubbling into him and burst into laughing.

" Hume yakeen nahi ho raha aap bachpan se ahmak hai ya zehen me koi chot aayi thi?"

" I can't believe, are you dumb since childhood or hit your head somewhere?" he laughed and I just stare him.

" Pehele Mallika banne ka khawab or jab vo pura na hua toh aap humse integaam lene ke liye yaha tak aayi. Kya soch kar ki Sultan ko marne ke baad takt par baithengi or hume Sulatanate se bedakhal kar dengi?"

" First dream of becoming Queen and when it didn't fulfilled then you came here with me for revenge. What were you thinking that after killing Sulatan you will become Mallika and kicked me out of my Sulatanate?" He asked sobering up from his laugher but joy is still in his eyes. He stare at me and move closer placing face in the crook of my neck and I close my eyes in disgust.

" Apko ek raaz batate hai. Hume marna hai toh dhoke ki seh leni padegi."

" Should I tell you one secret? If you want to kill me then you have to take help of betrayal" he whispered and move his lips and place a kiss under my jaw and I open my eyes.

" You can kill me when I make love to you" he winked at me.

I clenched my teeth tightly in anger hearing his insult.

" Kyuki tab humara dhyan kahi or hoga or yad rahe vaar humesha piche se hi karna"

" Because I would be distracted that time and remember always attack from behind" he sais staring in my eyes.

"  Hum vachan dete hai hum apko kabhi dhokha nahi denge. Hum jab bhi vaar  karenge seene pe karenge"

" I promise I will never betray you. Whenever I will attack you I will always do it standing in front of you" I vowed and he again chuckled.

" Jaisa ki humne kaha ahmak"

" Hume nind aa rahi hai or hume kapde pehen kar sone ki aadat nahi hai isliye apne kapde utariye"

" I'm feeling sleepy and I don't have a habit of wearing clothes to bed that's why get undressed"

I look at him wide eyes.

" Or agar aap aisa nahi kar rahi toh daffa ho jaiye yaha se"

" And if you're not doing that than get lost form here" he shoved me away.

I get down from bed and looked at him. He take off his kurta and lay down on his stomach in the middle of bed. He toss me aside like some maid. I took steps back and turned now the rain has stopped but the black clouds are still there.

I place my hand on the wall and slide down. I close my eyes and let tears flow. I can't believe how my life turned in few days. I was a Princess, Princess Ahenkara.

There is a huge pool the water looks blue. Riyadh come out moving his hands he pushed his hair back the water dripping down from his muscular arms. His well defined back come into view as he step out of water and several servants are standing for him. One placed a huge velvet shawl over his shoulders.

He move and stand in front of mirror dressed in a black kurta and two servants come behind him and put a huge cloth which were made of fur around the shoulder and rest is a huge black velvet cloth. The servants made him wear the rings he took one and smirk when he saw Arim standing behind him.

" The preparation are done" he informed.

€ THRONE CHAMBER

The huge door opened and the announcer announced his arrival and all the officials took there place. He step inside all the officials kept his gaze low. Arim halt at the steps of the throne and stood beside. Riyadh climb up and stood in front of throne and look at the people present there some of them were who are against him becoming king and some used to laugh on his back a smirk form on his lips.

The two people come forward one held the Crown of Sultanate. The person picked up the Crown and place it on top of Riyadh's head.

€ AFTERNOON

€ SULTAN RIYADH'S CHAMBER

I gasped and my eyes shit opened. I look down my heart is beating very fastly. I'm wet and I slowly look upward and saw him standing in front of me which a metal jug in his hand and a huge grin on his face.  My eyes roam down to up on him. He is dressed up and their is crown on his head.

Ohh he got crowned.

I stood up and adjusted my lehenga and tucked a wet strand of hair behind my ear. Suddenly I was lift in a the air and I gripped his kurta tightly closing my eyes when he start spinning me.

" Hum behad khush hai aaj"

" I'm so happy today" he yelled and stop spinning and I open my eyes.

" Man kar raha hai apko chum le"

" Feel like kissing you" he smirk and move his face closer and I turn my face aside.

" Leave me"

" Jo hukm"

" As you wish" he said and left me and my eyes widened and suddenly a loud sound of water splashing came as I drown in the water. I forward my hand to grip anything but nothing come in my grip I can see the huge black crystal chandelier above me. My head hit the base and I hurriedly place my hand on the base and rise up. I took deep breaths to calm myself and I realised the pool isn't that deep.

" Get up it's afternoon, go and make something delicious for me" he was standing at the edge of pool. I blinked and close my eyes for a second and look up again not sure if I heard him right or not. He standing staring ahead keeping in his chin high.

" What you didn't listen?" He asked looking down at me when I didn't respond. I stood up in front of him.

" Hum kyu banaye?"

" Why would I make?" I asked folding my arms.

" Kyuki hunara hukm hai agar kaidkhana me aj raat nahi bitana chahati toh...."

" Because this is my order and if you don't want to spend your night in prison....or I might can change your punishment to something else like spanking" he lean forward and his tongue dart out of lick his lower lip. I scrunch my nose in disgust.

" Apko manzoor hai.."

" You accept?"

" Thik hai hum khana banyege"

" I'll make something" I said frustratingly and he smirk and left the chamber.

€ KITCHEN

After getting ready the two maids who showed me his chamber helped me come here and I saw the huge kitchen empty.

" Sultan wants you to do everything yourself" the kitchen head lady said and I again glance at the empty kitchen.

Obviously he wants me do everything by myself.

" I will take my leave"

I heard her leave and I step inside just looking at everything. I took a deep breath and a memory come in my mind.

" Rajkumari Ahenkara aap kya kar rahi hai, Rajkumari Nayantara ki do sabziya ban kar taiyar bhi ho gayi hai aise kaise jitengi aap pratiyogita?"

" What are you doing Princess Ahenkara? Princess Nayantara has already done with two of her dishes. How will you win the competition like that?" Chapla said and I look up at my wipping my sweat from forehead and continue stirring the curry.

I start by taking out the vegetable I will only make one curry and look for the spices which are in raw form. I grind them one by one and now it's time for chilli.

Both the plates are placed before King and now it's my plates turn. My father dipped the tortilla in curry and bring it to his mouth and as he chew his facial expression turn and he coughed.

" Rajkumari Ahenkara you have put so much chillies in it"

I didn't realise when tear fell from my eye. I put the spices in my vegetable less then before and stir it.

€ DINNING ROOM

The announcer announced his presence and he entered. I feel his gaze on me but I don't look up. He came and sat down and I serve him the food.

" Zeher toh nahi milaya aapne isme?"

" You didn't put poison in this, right?" He whispered.

" Hume jab vaar karna hoga seene pe karenge"

" When I want to attack I will attack from front" I whispered back and stood up. Seeing the plate empty except for one dish he look confused and look up but he can't see my face because of veil.

He tore a one piece and place it inside his mouth and he got still chewing slowly he gulped and look at all the maids present.

" Privacy" he yelled and I frowned.

My wrist was grabbed and he pulled me down making me sit in front of him.

" Yeh khana banaya hai aapne isme na namak hai na mirch"

" You have made this food which nor has salt neither chilli" he said angrily and jerked my hand and stood up and left.

I pull up my veil and glance at door then back at food. I tore a piece and eat it. Honestly it was not bad. I finished the whole plate.

~~~~

€ RIYADH'S CHAMBER

I entered and pull up veil and remove the dupatta and left it on the couch. The things which happened is continuously running in my mind making me disturb.

I move where my trunks are present and in  one them and found what I was looking for.  I picked up the sitar and sat on the couch running my hand on the wires I close my eyes and start playing.

सा नि ध

नि ध मा

मग सानी धानी

Pehele Mallika banne ka khawab or jab vo pura na hua toh aap humse integaam lene ke liye yaha tak aayi. Kya soch kar ki Sultan ko marne ke baad takt par baithengi or hume Sulatanate se bedakhal kar dengi?"

"Aap bachi nahi rahi Rajkumari, Rani banne ka swapan chor dijiye"

I pressed my finger more against the wires making sound louder than before.

मामा गागा सासा निनि

ससा निनि धाधा निनि

" Rajkumari Ahenkara rajkumariyo ko pakkala ka gyan shobha deta na ki Rajyakaj ka"

निसा निसा निसा निसा

धानी धानी धानी धानी ----Aapke yeh najuk hath apne shohar ke liye lajeez khana banane ke liye hai na ki shamsheer chalane ke liye"

I move my hands fastly.

Rajkumari ---गामा पद निधि पद पमा गामा गारे सानी

धानी सगामगा सगमगा धापा धनिसा

धानी गाथा सनिधानि सनिधानी धमापगा

मदनिसा धानी धाम गामा गारे सनीधनी

" Wahhhh"

I stop immediately and open my eyes and saw him sitting in front of me on couch his sword placed beside with the support of couch.

" Hum laga tha aap kisi kaam me acchi nahi hai par"

" I thought you're not good at anything but" he raise his brow looking at sitar.

I move my gaze down and lift the sitar and get up to move away but he grabbed my wrist at pulled me back.

" Hum jab baat kar rahe ho toh baha se jana beadbi hai"

" When I was taking walking away is discourtesy" he said in husky tone and I look up at him.

" Sambhavta hum vahi karna cha rahe ho"

" Maybe I'm trying to that" I replied and his grip become more tight around my wrist.

" Apka gurur"

" Your ego " he spoke through clenched teeth then he move his eyes up and down and smirk.

" Taiyar ho jayiye aaj raat humari suhagrat hai"

" Get ready tonight is our first night"
