7🍂

The next morning, Sidharth's sleep broke as someone was knocking on the door.

For a few seconds, he didn't even understand what is happening? What is he doing here?

Then he remembered that they took a shelter in this place last night. His back was hurting because he was continuously sleeping on the couch, after his marriage and last night, though he got a chance to sleep on the bed, still the bed was not comfortable enough to sleep.

But his pain seemed liked vanishing when he felt a soft touch around his neck.

He looked down and saw the beautiful face of his wife.

She was sleeping peacefully in his arms. Though the place was not comfortable, though they had literally no facility here like they have in their palace, still last night he had the best sleep of his life!

Is she the reason behind it?

Infact from the time they married, he could realize that he is changing. And he knew he is changing because of her.

.

.

.

The girl who was a second choice for saving the respect of their families, the girl whom he didn't want to accept ever, the girl who wasn't treated well in her own house, the girl who grew up without her mother's love, the girl whom he considered an unwanted wife, is now changing him and making him a better person.

He remembered his baba who used to love his mom a lot. He used to say- aap ki ammi anjaan se humari jaan baan gyi!

Is the same happening with him?

His heart skipped a beat thinking about a beautiful future with her.

His thoughts broke when she hugged him more tightly.

She was snuggling in his arms as she felt so peaceful.

He kept looking at her but he heard the knocking sound again.

This time the sound was a little loud from the last time , so she woke up.

She looked at his face and gasped. They were literally so close !

She looked at his deep eyes and today his eyes had only admiration which made her blush unknowingly.

Sidharth caressed her cheeks softly and asked....

Sid: aap acche se soyi?!

Sana heard the question and thought this was literally the best sleep of her life.

Because from the time she has started understanding the world, she had seen how her own father blamed her for her mother's death.

How he treated her as an unwanted child. She literally never slept peacefully at nights. Because every time she used to close her eyes, her father's harsh taunts used to make her restless.

She wanted to go to her mother , she wanted to meet her but she knew her Allah has better plans. Maybe he has written something better for her.

Her hope ended the day she got married, without even knowing the man he is marrying, to be specific he was going to be her elder sister's husband.

Things were tough for her. But then she couldn't refuse the proposal because though her father never loved her but still he was her father. She never wanted him to lose his respect.

And then her husband, who refused to accept her as his wife as soon as she got married.  She really had to think- when will she be happy?

And then suddenly happiness is here, the husband who didn't want to accept her, now looks at her with adoration, now talks to her softly.

His gestures really warms her heart. She really wants to believe him and give this marriage a chance but then the fear of losing the happiness is always there.

She took a deep sigh. She really slept well in his protective arms. HIS ARMS FELT LIKE HER HOME !

And that's what scares her! What if she just gets attached and he leaves her! ? What if she wants to spend her life with him but he doesn't?

Her heart tried to calm her mind and she looked at him who was looking at her with so much softness that she felt loved and wanted. She wanted this feeling for the rest of her life.

Her eyes became teary.

He wiped her tears and said softly...

Sid:

Hume paata hai aap kya soch Rahi hai!

Hume ye bhi paata hai ki aap ko bohot acchi neend aayi par aap ko daar hai.

Aap ko daar hai iss ehsaas ka! Aap ka dil beshak Hume aur humare nikah ko ek moka Dena chahta hai par aap ka daar hai ki aap sab kuch kho dengi hai na!

Aap ko daar hai ki aap ka shohar badal Jayega. Aap ka daar jayez hai. Hum hi aap ki iss daar ka waja hai. Humne hi aap k maan mein ye daar paida kar diya ki hum aap ko kabhi nahi apnayenge.

Par gul yakeen maane hum khud nahi jaante kaab hum itna badal gye. Kaab humara dil aap ko itna chahne laga. Hume nahi paata.

Aap fikar na kare! Aap ko jabardaasti nahi karenge hum ki aap Hume moka de par hum intejaar Karte rahenge apne akhri saas taak!

Hume paata hai ek din aap Hume jaroor qabool karenge. Humare dil ko paata hai ekdin hum apne gul ko jee bhar k niharenge aur humare gul k dil mein ye shaq nahi rahega ki humara chahat saccha hai ya nahi.

Humare gul ko paata Hoga ki ye Sidharth meer na chahte hue bhi badal chuka hai. Iss raja ko apni Rani hamesha k liye apne jindegi mein chahiye. Hamesha k liye aur hum aap ka dil jeet lenge begum.

He kissed her forehead and she closed her eyes. She was just so shocked to even say anything.

His every word warmed her heart, his every statement was soothing for her broken heart. Her heart just healed, she felt.

His lips stayed on her forehead for some minutes and both stayed in each other's embrace, their hearts were beating together, their hands were entangled.

He looked at her and caressed her cheeks.

Then He left the bed and opened the door as someone was continuously knocking it.

.

.

.

He saw one of his men who looked down immediately as Sidharth glared at him.

Sid: kya hua! ?

The man slowly replied- woh maharaj hume mehel chalna chahiye. Subha ho gyi hai aur baarish bhi ruk gyi. Bas ye sandesha dene k liye hi hum...

Sid: hmm jao aur Suno, begum sahiba k samne bolna ki unki palki toot gyi hai toofan k waja se.

The man looked at him confusingly and said....

Par palki toh sahi salamat hai maharaj.

Sidharth glared him and thought- his men maybe don't know about romance! Gosh!

His heart mocked- huh were you romantic before you married? You didn't even want to get married dude.

He rolled his eyes , though his heart was right , but he won't accept it!

Sid:

humne jaisa kaha waisa karo. Sab se pehle palki ko chupa doh kahi aur fir begum sahiba bahar aaye toh unke samne bolna ki palki raat ko toot gyi aur aab mil nahi rahi. Samaj mein aaya?

The man nodded , as he had no other option than agreeing but he found his king was really behaving weirdly!

Sidharth went back to the room and saw that sana was fixing her hair .

She felt his presence and looked down.

The little cozy moments and those deep promises had changed something in her heart. Now her husband's every gesture makes her feel so special.

He wore his kurta and made her wear her dupatta. He covered her head and liked the fact that she didn't stop him.

It made him really happy. He felt that he has the right to take care of her.

He cupped her face and kissed her forehead. That has become his favourite hobby, he feels. He just loves to kiss her forehead.

She couldn't help but smile a little. She remembered that she had read somewhere - forehead kiss means care! And she could literally feel his care.

Sid: chaliye gul . Mehel jaana hai. Ammi intejaar kar rahi hogi .

Sana nodded and they both came out from their room.

.

.

.

.

His men were ready to go, his horse was at the right place but her palanquin was not here which made her confused and him smirk.

He made this plan just because he wanted her to ride his horse , with him and in the process they will get some quality time together.

The king has smart brain, he praised himself for the first time. God! He changed so much. He has won so many battles in his life but he never felt so proud. But today this small plan gave him a feeling of happiness.

Sana softly asked...

Sana: humari palki?

Sidharth cleared his throat and made a poker face , then asked...

Sid: palki kaha hai?

That man whom he ordered to lie , quickly said...

Maharaj palki toofan k waja se toot gyi thi aur aab gayeb ho gyi hai.

Sidharth did a victory dance in mind. The dialogue delivery of that man was so good. He will surely reward him.

That man had already informed the other men about king's order , so none of them spoke and Sid's plan was successful.

Sana made a sad pout and Sidharth's heart started beating !!

AWW SHE IS SO CUTE! HIS WIFE IS SO FREAKING CUTE- his heart started screaming.

Sana: aab hum mehel kaise jayenge? Hume ammi ki yaad aa rahi hai. Woh humara intejaar kar rahi hongi.  Hum agar chal k mehel jayenge toh bohot din lag jayega na?

Oh her damn innocence and her bond with his mother, he was literally so in love with every gesture of hers, without his own knowledge.

He made a very serious face and said..

Sid: yaha se chal k jaana sambhav nahi hai.

Sana looked at him with a crying face and said....

Sana: fir hum kaise jayenge? Aap Hume yaha chorh k toh nahi jayenge na? Humare pas ammi hai , hum unko khona nahi chahte. Hume mehel le chale. Hume chorh k maat jaana!

He wanted to hug her. Her statement made his heart sad. She is so scared of losing people and that's normal because she never got someone who loved her.

He felt really thankful that his mom gave love to this pure soul and now he will literally try his best to give her every happiness.

He looked at his men and ordered..

Sid: ekaant !

.

.

.

His men left from there.  Now they both were alone and Sidharth pulled her in a hug.

Sid: hum aap ko kahi chorh k nahi jayenge gul. Hum yaha hi hai , aap k pas. Aap dariye maat.

Sana: but hum kaise jayenge? Humara palki toh hai hi nahi.

Sid : aap humare saath humare ghore pe jayengi!

She gasped and said..

Sana: nahi hum nahi jayenge ghore pe. Hum gir jayenge .

He cupped her face and said....

Sid: hum hai na aap k Saath? Hum aap ko girne denge? Nahi na? Aap ko yakeen hai na humpe?.

She nodded her head in yes. Yes she trusts him. It made him smile and he again did his favourite job and that was- kissing her forehead! ❤️
