JANKI'S POV

"Ra.. Rana sa. Hukum.. Maafi" A woman pled joining hands.

"Five mistakes. First, You were here judging a woman in My Palace. Second, You were talking on the back of your Queen. Third, you back bitched about my wife on my back. Fourth, you needed to apologize to her not me. And fifth, pack your bags because loathes like you aren't needed at my home."  He thundered and I looked at him shocked for the last thing he announced.

"No. No Hukum. What will we even do. Please. We've small kids. Please mercy on us. Raani sa, please. " The workers cried joining their hands and I looked at Raghav to see him so angry.

"Rag... Rana sa, let it go" I whispered and he turned to look at me.

"Why do you forget that you're a Queen. What were you waiting for listening to these leeches. All you needed was to utter one single word. FIRED. She might mercy you, but how could you forget,I'm merciless. If I see your faces in the morning, you'll be dealt in a way bad then this" He angered

"They've families Rana sa. They're the earning source. Don't do that" I protested to which he didn't say anything and taking my hand, he walked out moving towards the King's Abode.

"This wasn't done Rana sa. You pay no heed to anything I say. Doesn't it matter even a bit to you" I said as soon as we reached our room.

"Matter? Really" He chuckled for a second like a maniac and then glared me.

"Your words, your face, your mercy which you were showing to me mattered to me is the reason, they weren't thrown right now in this chilly winter night. And I pay heed to your words that is why, they're just fired and they'll suffer. Not anyone else in their families. They'll be taken care of. Otherwise, their seven generations would've regretted this" He snapped

'You're impossible Raghav" I yelled just when my eyes went inside the walk in.

And I looked at myself.

The shorts, the hoodie as long as just shorts, the hairs in a messy bun.

I was in no way a Queen. Weren't the people right!

But I didn't woo him! I never even gave a hint of that!

Amidst thinking all this a hand and I jumped at my place.

"Sush, it's me" He whispered and I looked at him when his hand went to my cheeks and he wiped away the tears that I didn't even know were there.

Why the hell was I crying!

I'm more stronger then this!

Don't let people over power your mind. Don't let people over power you!

"Sunshine.. " A small whisper was there and I looked at him.

"What" I asked and he looked at me for a second and then spoke.

"Nothing. Let's get you to bed" He said

"I'm not a kid of two Rana sa. " I stated and moved past him.

Why are you angry on him!

Because it's easier to get angry and get away with things.

I got to the bed and covered myself with comforters totally.

"I know you're listening Janki. And I'll be doomed if you can't word your thoughts in front of me. But I want you to know that, I don't care a bit of what people think. Because I know, you didn't woo me or anything. It was me who asked you to get married. It's easier for people to blame the women always but I promise you" He spoke and I felt fresh hot tears rolling down my cheeks silently.

"I won't let people blame you. And don't let these people get over your mind. You're stronger then this" He added and I  wasnt shocked would be understatement because these words....were exactly same as papa's.

"I'm here, anytime you want to speak your thoughts." He whispered and then I felt the lights getting closed.

The thing I liked about this room was, it never got totally dark. It had some dim yellow wall lights which turned on when the main lights were off.

And it made me feel relaxed.

But sleep was no where to come. And more then that, I had to join to work from morning.

I knew, I couldn't sleep but I wanted Rana sa to get asleep so that I don't have to answer any question of his.

And hence after a while when I didn't even hear any typing voice, I pulled away my comforter but just to see him working on his tab.

And I sighed knowing he isn't sleeping while as soon as he looked at me he kept away his tab.

But without saying him a word, I wore my slippers and went inside walk in.

Washing my face in restroom, I went outside and picking up the hoodie, I wore it and taking the comforter and the unfinished novel, I left the room.

And I went upstairs on the fourth floor which was the terrace garden.

As I stepped out, the chilly air hit me hard.

And I went to the swing and covering myself with comforters, I put my specs and started reading my book.

But I wasn't even able to concentrate on that. All I was remembering was the words of the people, the past intermixed and me.

And amidst all of this, was a person who was being so patient with me.

As I was thinking all this, I heard some foot steps and I turned behind to see him coming near me.

I didn't utter a word and just looked back into my book.

He too didn't say anything, just came near me and sat on the swing.

For some minutes, no one of us said anything but I looked to find him wearing his kurta with no woolens at all hence I forwarded an end of my comforter to him.

And he silently took it wrapping himself too.

I didn't want to, I really didn't yet unknowing to my mind,my body already reacted &  I couldn't stop myself hence I shifted a little more closer to him and rested my head on his shoulder.

For a second, I felt his gaze on me but then he relaxed and wrapping both of us properly with comforters, his kept his palm on my cheek.

"Give words to your thoughts sunshine. It pains me to see you like this" He finally whispered but nothing left my mouth other then the tears from eyes which fell directly on his palms and he looked at me shocked.

"Janki.. " He whispered and I don't know what happened to me and I just spoke.

"I didn't woo you. I never even gave you a slightest wrong action" I spoke a bit angry

"I know Sunshine. If it's anyone who wanted to marry you, who wants to woo you is me" He said and I looked at him.

"Then why is it me who is getting blamed Rana sa. " I cried and he put his hands on my cheeks.

"It's not about just four people. These are the four I listened to. Fours of thousand people out there might talk same about me. I can't live like this Rana sa. I don't want to be Queen, hell I never wanted to be a Queen but now when I'm, it's me who's getting blamed to seduce you. Which action of mine was seducing you Rana sa" I bitterly spoke

"And it's not you, I'm not blaming you. But I'm blaming myself for being the reason your staff is talking all this. I'm blaming myself that why it's me and my clothes always being judged. I'm blaming , regretting myself for agreeing to mar... " Before I could say he put his finger on my lips.

"I'll be doomed if you say you blame yourself for any of this Sunshine. And I promise you, I won't let any bloody mouth speak this about you. I won't let even a single person say you what you heard today. I won't let these tears come into your eyes and I promise, I won't let you regret any of these. You're my Queen. You're Raghav Singh Rathore's Queen. And I won't let even a small living being make you think any less. It's your life Janki. And I promise, after today if any single person, judges you, he'll see wrath of this king. I promise this all to you Janki. And this is the promise of Rana Raghav Singh Rathore. " He determined and I looked at him a bit shocked .

"I won't let you fire any more people" I whispered

"As you command Raani sa. But don't be so good Sunshine. This world is cruel, people are cruel and you can't be this good to everyone" He said wiping my tears.

"You'll come to save my goodness if the world is cruel right" I don't know why I said this but I did.

And he looked a bit surprised but then next instant he spoke.

"I won't ever leave you alone, coming to save you is a far away thing. I'm here, always here. Right beside you. Even if you push me away thousand times" He professed and the man had no idea what his words were doing to me.

And without a word, I again kept my head on his shoulder where as he stroked my hairs.

And even without I realizing it, my eyes got shut and I slept.

The next when I woke up , I found myself in bed covered with comforters and I remembered a bit of him tucking me to bed and kissing my forehead.

And I removed the comforters to find a pillow and a neatly folded comforter on the couch.

He again slept there!

After I freshened up, took a bath and walked to the walk in my eyes fell on the couch and clothes kept there.

And a sticky note on the couch.

Wear Me!

A small smile came on my lips seeing that and I looked at the clothes.

It was a sleevless plain black top with a black blazer and black wide leg pants.

And my mind went to whatever happened last night but I tried to shrug that off and wore the clothes.

And as I took my bag and phone and went down stairs I saw everyone taking their seats at the dining table.

"Mom, you look so beautiful" Megha exclaimed as she saw me.

"Thank you baby" I said kissing her cheek and looked at her dad who had a small smile on his lips.

Meanwhile Mickey too gave his acceptance by barking and jumping on me.

"Already looking like a workaholic woman. But don't become another Raghav" Mom teased and I denied smiling.

We all had our breakfast and I saw Nivedita bhabhi too leaving after breakfast to the office. She was the Head of designing department.

"So first day to work" Dad asked and I nodded right now missing my dad a lot.

"Don't tell me you gonna cry" He added and I chuckled wiping the tear ready to leave my eye.

"You're my kid too. I bought my daughter home from your dad. Remember that. Always" He said and I hugged him.

"Thank you dad. " I whispered

"Well, thank me after this" He said and took out a box of brownies from a paper bag kept on couch and my eyes glowed up.

"Brownies. Thank you dad" I exclaimed taking them.

"Okay. Now no late on first day. Come on" Mom's voice came as she came with curd and sugar and fed me that.

"Go for it. All the best" Mom added

"She isn't going for war. She's going to her own hospital" A voice peeped in between and mom glared him to which I chuckled

"Bye mom. Bye dad" I wished and joining hands infront of God, I looked at the person waiting for me.

"Come Megha. You too are lucky to have your winter classes starting at 10:30" I said to which she giggled and as the car hit the roads I spoke.

"Thankyou Rana sa" I thanked

"For what" He asked

"The.. Outfit" I mumbled and he just didn't say anything.

"What.. " I asked

"I don't like when you thank me for these things." He said

"Then what can I do Rana sa to tell you that I feel good by these gestures of yours" I asked

"On you. Any gesture. But not this thank you. Okay" He said and I just nodded.

As we dropped Megha to her school, the hospital too came in a while. And as the cars stopped, Rana sa looked at me.

"You okay" He asked and I nodded

"Pakka (sure) " He asked keeping his palm on my cheek and I nodded

"Rock it." He added and I nodded again with a small smile.

Then he gestured Robin who opened the door of his side and another body guard opened the door of my side.

"Sunshine, he's Walter. Your body guard"  Rana sa introduced

"No" I mumbled frowning

"You know right that this is non negotiable" He said and I sighed

"I'll piss him off too" I muttered

"Keep that to me Sunshine. I won't like you pissing off anyone else other then me" He said and I raised my brow.

"Stop being possessive " I spoke and he smirked coming a bit near me.

"Who said you Raani sa, that I'm not possessive " He whispered in my ear and I blushed.

"Go away" I mumbled but there was a smile on my face when he sighed happily.

"That's it. Don't let that smile go away" He said and I looked at him but then nodded.

He then looked at Walter and nodding at him he sat inside the car and the car left.

As I went inside, each of the staff memeber passing by wished me and I smiled at every one going towards my cabin.

"Raani sa, this is Dia. your PA." Walter spoke and I nodded shaking hands with her.

"You're a doctor? " I asked

"No Raani sa. I was an assistant manager here but now I'm your PA" She told and I nodded

"I'm very little familiar about the works here. But I would like to take rounds of every departments today. I would like to talk to doctors, nurses and other working staff." I said

"On it Raani sa. " She replied

"And Dia, where is the physio department " I asked

"Third floor, fourth wing ma'am" She said

"I would like to go there first" I told and she nodded

And as told, I visited each and every department, looking through the works, the specialized doctors and staff and every thing. I looked at the pharmacy as well as the other areas and I knew what I needed to get renovated too.

The visiting completed at some what 3 in the noon and after lunch, I looked over to some patients in the physio department.

As I came back to the cabin, I asked Dia to follow.

"Dia, I want one renovation work and one place to be built. One, the maternity wards to be renovated and second there is no kids zone. I want a pediatric department to built a kids zone. You know kids want an environment which is friendly. It's all psychology. " I explained while she took notes.

"Shall I set up an meeting tomorrow Raani sa" She asked

"Yes do that. And keep a schedule of my cases in physio" I told and she nodded

After I dismissed her, I looked into the work of Delhi hospital because it was to be merged with this only.

It was somewhat half an hour when I got the call of my long lost best friend.

"So you're alive" I asked

"Shut up. I'm so gone by the news man" She exclaimed

"You've called me after a month and now you care about some freaking news" I snapped

"God. I was at a place which had very less or no communication place. And now stop speaking this all and look at the news. Your husband is all over media" She exclaimed

"Not a big deal." I said

"God. Shut up Janki and look at his interview" She snapped

"What" I said and turned on the News on Screen.

And The King Reveals How He Married the Queen.

"I'll call you later" I whispered and cut the call and looked at the news.

"So Rana sa, a public holding what's the reason" A reporter asked

"Well, I won't have gathered the media since I don't like my personal life in news. But, it has come to my ears that The Queen of the state, my wife is being the topic of discussion between people for unnecessary reasons and I would very gladly want to dismiss them" Raghav spoke

"What are the reasons" Another reporter asked

"To my ears, I've heard people making opinions about her marrying me. But I would again gladly like to burst the bubble of such people's  silly minds that it wasn't she who asked me to marry her. It was me, who went to Delhi, to ask her to marry me" He revealed and I looked at screen shocked.

"You mean, you wanted to marry her, not she" A reporter asked

Did he forget that on the rajtilak day we gave a fake public statement of being in love.

"Indeed it was me first. But I won her heart. And I'm glad I did it. As a matter of fact, I'm proud husband of such a doctor who made our daughter stand on her feet again. And I'm proud that she's my wife. And I'm proud that she's the Queen of This King. So now before anyone of you judge her, think infinite number of times because you would need to judge me before judging her. And the consequences will be followed. Thankyou" He stated and turned to go from the mic but then stopped at turned around.

"A Queen is made from with in, a heart of gold, a sharp mind and a beautiful soul. Not by blood or by physical appearance. And I'm again proud that my Queen proves this all" He said while his eyes fixed right on screen which looked as if he was looking directly at me.

And as he went away, I turned off the tv and sat on my chair taking deep breath.

You're my Queen. And I won't let even a small living being make you think any less.

And I promise, after today if any single person, judges you, he'll see wrath of this king.

I promise this all to you Janki.

And this is the promise of Rana Raghav Singh Rathore.

His words came to my mind and I looked at his picture in my phone.

You're indeed man of your words. But I never imagined that this way.

And I didn't know how lucky I felt right now to have him as my husband!

My Husband!

And Megha was right when she said...

Her Dad is the best!!

Indeed he's the best!!
