There is always some madness in love...
But there is also always some reason for madness.....

******************************

Third POV.

Arjun places Anaya on the king-size bed carefully like she is some fragile doll..... He then dialed the intercom to call some maid to bring food for Anaya...

Anaya was observing him..he was not at all looking like an arrogant, egoistic, and devil businessman...but a caring man....he was examining her wounded hand then placing it on one pillow carefully...throughout this Anaya was staring at him keenly.....if only he didn't have done what he did with her...

Arjun went inside the bathroom and came out after getting freshen up and he was in sweatpants and a T-shirt, he was looking at his phone for some mail when there was a knock on the door....two maids came in with a trolley which contain food plates juice glasses and water...bowing in front of Arjun they set everything on the table before the sofa and went out...

Arjun helped Anaya who hesitate to put her hand in his but one look from Arjun was enough for her to obey him...he took her cold hand in his warm and rough hand and helped her to sit on the sofa..sitting beside her he opened the lid of the plated and juice...Anaya observes the food with eagerness......

Arjun was staring at her amusingly....her face was lightened up looking at so many dishes.....though she don't know many dishes...Anaya hesitate first and looked at Arjun who gestured for her to start....thank god her left hand was injured otherwise she won't have been able to eat.

Arjun started remembering the day when he took her for dinner....how unpleasant she looked after looking at that salad......

Am I a cow who will eat plants...

That was her reply after looking at her dinner which he ordered....indeed she was always different from other rich girls... That was the best night he had to spend ever with anyone. Her carefree attitude....made him eager to know her more...

Anaya saw him staring at her with an emotion she cannot pinpoint.....she clear her throat uncomfortably to gain his attention...

Arjun came out of his, clearing his throat he looked at her questioningly.

"Mr. Rajvansh....this food...I mean...I don't know many dishes....can...can you call someone.....to...to help me with this....."

Arjun frowned...why did she want anyone, he is here to help....he knows every item on the plate...but seeing her embarrassed face he choose otherwise...Arjun dialed the number through the intercom and the same maid who brought food came inside...Arjun order her to explain about Rajasthan cuisine....maid looked unsure as Anaya make her sit on a single sofa so she could explain everything.....maid was hesitant as to sit or not....she even request to sit on the floor but Anaya didn't listen......she amended....maid prefer to stand...which make Anaya sad, Arjun saw her sad face and gave a warning look to the maid... And one look from Arjun was enough for her to do her work...

Anaya was so curious to know about different colorful varieties....she had never seen such food items...yes she knows about Indian food items but only some basics which her mother prepares...

Arjun saw her looking at the maid and trying to remember the food items while tasting every item....his gaze was soft.....he was feeling different things in her presence...... it's like his frozen heart was beating fast.....the way she moans while taking each bite...ugh...

Anaya eat every item...there was some rice particular stuck on her lips side.....Arjun saw this and tap her shoulder......she turn to him and frown that he disturb her.......he pointed his finger in the direction of her lips....she raise her brow in confusion...he told her that something was stuck on side of her lip....she tries to clean it...

Ugh....what would he think....that she had never seen any food...eating like there is no tomorrow....she try to clean her lip but in vain...

Arjun...shake his head amusingly.....

"Idiot..."

He slightly bent toward her and Anaya's breath hitched.....Arjun slowly touches her lip...Anaya's eyes got widened.....her breath labored.....butterflies start irrupting her stomach......both were looking at each other.....Arjun's hand was cupping her right cheek and his thumb was stroking her bottom lip...

Maid smile looking at her Yuvraj's love and care for his naive wife....indeed she was innocent...the way she made her sit on a single sofa to guide her about food.....the way she was giving her respect because she is an old lady... they all are indeed mere maids no one thinks about them....treat them low....yes Rani sa don't treat them as trash and respect them but always maintain distance as they are from lower class....but this Yuvrani was not like any other Rani of this Mahal.....maybe she doesn't know the rules that....mere maid cannot sit with them.....

She even told her that this was unethical....they cannot sit with any Rani or upper-class people....but this Yuvrani was stubborn...and Yuvraj supported his wife....just to make her happy......love is evident in his eyes....their Yuvraj was a strick man with no heart, he is like a devil...but looking at him with his wife.....no one can say he is a cunning man.....

God...never let any bad eye fall on this couple....maid silently prayed...

The maid clear her throat and Anaya and Arjun's trace was broken...Arjun awkwardly pulls back to break the awkwardness he said,

"Be careful clumsy girl...if you will eat like this at the dinner table my Dadi sa will be angry....."

Anaya gave him a look.... angry....that lady was as sweet as sugar......anyone bitter is non-other than the person sitting in front of her.....

"Don't look at me like that....she may be sweet but she is very strict when it comes to certain manners..... And table manners is one of them...I don't want anyone to mock me that my wife is clumsy and mannerless...." He sarcastically said to her...

Anaya gasped.....did..he....he did not just call the mannerless...

"Yes, I did...." Arjun said amusingly...

Anaya's eyes widen Did I say this aloud...

"Yes you did.....now stop being dramatic and let's finish our food...." Saying this he starts eating from another plate...

"Mr. Rajvansh.....you cannot say these mean things to a girl....that's rude....." She said fuming.....gone was the awkwardness...

"Mrs. Rajvansh.....rudeness is my second name....now eat your food quietly....." He again said hiding his amusement...

He always likes her this carefree....will she again be that carefree Anaya...

"You are so rude and mean Mr. Rajvansh and first you need to learn how to talk to a girl...." She counters back... She was not ready to back out...

"Trust me, darling...I just don't do talking only......" He whispers huskily in her ear coming closer to her.

She turn to him and came face to face with him if she move a little their nose would touch Arjun smirked at her flushed face and moved back.... resuming his eating...Anaya clears her throat and shift in her seat...

Why always does this happen to her....and he always looks normal...

Ugh.....

After finishing her meal she thank the maid and went to the bathroom to freshen up....when she came back it was awkward...

Now, what... where will she sleep...like hell, she will share the bed with him....over her dead body...

She heard him talking over the phone in the sitting area and immediately took a pillow and duvet, going near the sofa she made a bed and slept on it.....

When Arjun came inside and the bed was empty...now where the hell she is gone.....he look here and there and found her on the sofa...

Arjun frown...

"Come to bed...wife...." he said folding his hand on his chest....his muscular biceps and chest were on display inside his tight t-shirt...

Anaya pretends to sleep...

"I know you are not sleeping....come to bed....." He again said in a cold tone.

Anaya open her eyes....was it so obvious...

"Then where will you sleep...." she asks raising her eyebrows and giving a mocking look and getting up...

"What do you mean....of course on the bed...its too big to fit for two people....." He said in the same mocking tone...

"What...I'm not going to share the bed with you....." She yells...

The nerve of this man...

Arjun was annoyed but of course....she was not ready to share the same room...then expecting to share a bed is waste of time....good for her, he doesn't like to sleep with someone either....his egoist side was now awake.....

"Suit yourself....anyway I don't like to share my bed...." He arrogantly dismisses her...

"Then why did you offer the bed to me...." She winch...

"Out of Courtesy...I'm Yuvraj... I must look after my people whether they are comfortable or not....and looking at you I think you are more than comfortable......sleep...." He answers back sarcastically...

"Ohh..really then if I'm not comfortable then would you give me bed and shift to this sofa Yuvraj Sir....." She challenges him.....

He smirks and sits comfortably on the bed and looks at her leaning on the headboard...

"Then I would suggest you the floor darling.....I'm not dying to share the bed or give it fully to you...."

She stick her tongue out at him and lay down facing another side she close her eyes...

Arjun chuckles and lays down not before making sure she was comfortable on the sofa...increasing the temperature of the AC... He slept...

Anaya was feeling cold...she was not habitual of this temperature of AC....but her stubborn side didn't allow her to request him to increase the temperature of AC...she looks at him and found him sleeping without his T-shirt...

Ugh...shameless Man...

She slept on that condition only.....

The next day when she woke up....she found that it was already 8 AM....and Arjun was already gone...

She was late....yesterday Vedika told her that they do pooja at 6 AM.....and everyone must attend it...

Ohh god.....now what....that man...He didn't have any decency to wake her up......

She is late....is she going to be punished...Dadi sa will surely yell at her....aunty will be so disappointed.

She immediately went inside the bathroom and took a quick shower, coming out she went inside the walking closest and found her stuff arranged there....picking up a beautiful lemon lehnga, as per Vedika instructions she wore it and pin the dupatta properly...here in royal family everyone either wears Saree or lehnga....nothing else......

She came out and the way Vedika did her makeup she did the same....when she put the vermilion on her partition....she sighted.....married that's what she is now...

She came out and run in one direction when she found one maid she immediately request her to guide her to where is everyone.....

When she reaches the grand dining hall....her eyes widen.....wow...

It was a royal dining hall indeed a larger dining table with more than 50 chairs...she was looking here and there at the interior designs with an open mouth.....

Vedika taps her shoulder...making her jump...Anaya places her hand on her chest...

"Vedika you scare me....." She whispers breathlessly...

"Ohh sorry I didn't mean it.....oh look at you so beautiful....." Vedika looks at her up and down and covers her head, perfect.....

She was wearing a lehnga, jhumka(an earing), her sacred thread and vermilion on her head....a proper bride...

"Thanks, Vedika....you taught me well..." She said smiling...

Vedika smiled and was about to say something when,

"Is this your manners....calling you elder sister-in-law by her name.....didn't your parents teach you manners...girl..."

They heard a harsh voice....both turn to the source of the voice...seeing the lady Anaya got scared and hold Vedika...

Chitra smiled evilly looking at both of the girl's scared faces...

Vedika tries to say when Chitra continues...

"Let others come girl...I will show them how disrespectful you are to your elders first you didn't attend morning pooja and now this...so shameful..."

Anaya was on verge of crying...

What will she do now.....
