Tu ishq ishq sa mere
Rooh mein aake bas ja
Jis aur teri shehnaai
Uss ore main bhaagun re

Make a bunch of inline comments they make me happy. ❤

I stared at the woman lying beside me, her beautiful oval face was placed on the white pillow, while her hairs were sprawled lazily on the bed. Her lips were slightly parted as she snored softly into the pillow. The rays of sunlight were shining dimly as the illuminating night sky began to fade away. It was still a little dark, as the morning stood at the entrance of the new dawn.

I pressed my thumb over her nose from the left and pressed it blocking her breathing passage. Her eyes hunkered down in annoyance, as a cute infuriating expression formed on her solitude face. I chuckled as she turned from her left side to lie comfortably on her back. She hummed in pleasure as I removed my hand from her nose.

She was completely contrary to me. I was a light sleeper or to be perfect, sleep never came to me. But she on the other hand was a tight sleeper, I could ring a bell in her ear and she would still sleep like a tot. I ogled her sleeping form like a whipped man I was. Nights always haunted me, but for her, I knew it was a time where she could dream and conquer heights. She was like a feather who was soft yet strong. Her personality was fascinating as she talked and behaved like a smart woman she was. Her mind was sharp with the glimmer of chaos which always created a second path for her but she was decisive witted, I knew that. If she elected that she has to do it then she will do it. The woman lying beside me was stubborn as perdition.

I adjusted the comforter on her, detaching myself from her. After sparing her one last look, I exited her chambers. As soon as I stepped out of her chambers, a lady who looked like a maid entered the chambers secretly. She thought I didn't see her. I locked my hands on my back and strolled in the corridors of ausbaug, feeling the wave of fresh air against my skin. The sun was rising slowly, the rays were breaking away from its owner spreading in the autonomous sky.

I smiled looking at the white animal messing with the butterfly sitting on the tip of the dahlia. He flared his nose his anger, jumping up and down to chase the multicolour creature away. The butterfly flew above his hold and landed on the other flower, he barked moving towards it. With a swift, a calculated move he jumped on the flower breaking it away from its stem. He looked satisfied as to to the butterfly fee way from his view.

I chuckled at his stupid antics which made him turn towards me. As his eyes raked my posture he ran towards me. Nuzzling his little head on my legs, he sniffed the air around him. I picked him in my arms, caressing his white fluffy physique. He was stinking, I groaned as the smell was so awful. Patting his head numerous times, I took him to my chambers. My bath was all ready, the maids knew how I liked my things and schedule. There was no one in my chambers except two maids who were cleaning the room.

They exited the chambers as I entered the room. I preferred to be secluded in my chambers. And as I was the king no one dared to interfere in my silent atmosphere. Since I was just in my loincloth, there was nothing more to remove from my body before I entered the bath. The water was cold and calming. I picked the puppy in my arms and rinsed his dirty veneer with the water. I swear no one troubled me the way this species did. He was always the stubborn one and he became more stubborn since I gifted him to my dearest wife.

"I swear I will send you back home if you moved one more time " I warned the creature who was trying to run away from the water. He whined as I rubbed the dirt away from his body, that man rubbed his body in horse shit. Once I was satisfied with his cleaned body, I left him. He immediately ran away from me in the different corner of the bath. I moved deeper into the water, drowning myself completely in it.

I spent 30 minutes in the bath and then some minutes to dress up for the court. When you are the king you have to dress up like the king. I loved those comfortable, cotton costumes we used to wear in Romania but I also loved the freedom and essence of the place which was my birthplace.

Romania was a hell on earth. The place where humans were treated like objects and sold in the market was not earth or place to live it was hell. And I was grown up in that place.

Slavery

I was condemned to slavery when I was 10 months old, why? Because I had no right to live and to pay for the oxygen which I was inhaling I needed to a good slave. If I had to conquer my birth land, get back what was rightfully mine and bring justice to my mothers I had to go through everything which I suffered as a child.

That place was like a hot iron kept against my skin, burning every cell in my body punishing me for breathing because in that place breathing had a price. I was a puppet in the hand of my masters, a living object a toy for them to play with. But today I was a free man, a king to my kingdom and a husband to a strong woman. Tanirika was my price when my mother used to take away my daily struggle of the day by singing about the beautiful world which she wanted me to create for her.  She used to mention a price, the price of my hard work, a solace to my vague soul and a light to my darkness.

And tanirika was that. She was everything that made me feel comfortable. I was greedy when I desired a woman for myself before a queen for the kingdom. Tanirika was born to be a queen but I was a little selfish when I selected her to be my wife I wanted her for myself. And I knew she was mine. My beautiful precious unul curajos ( brave one).

The court was filled with chaos today, where some people came with their complaints, some were paying the king a visit to present the token of love to the king and queen. They were happy about getting a queen. The glimpse of pride and happiness I saw in their eyes made my chest flutter with pride.

After handling it all half of the day, I was about to close it.  When an unexpected visitor entered the court.

"The king of jayana, King Jaywant. The royal advisor of the king is entering the court of rakshatra" The courtier announced.  Confusion swept across my mind as the unexpected person entered my kingdom.

Why was the king of jayana visiting me without any letter and the official statement? I adjusted myself on the throne, sitting straight on my throne. The King entered the court, with a man on his left and few servants accompanied him. He was an awful man, I had heard about him from my court. He sold his wife off to the Mughals because he was coward enough to fight. 

He stopped in front of the stairs leading to the throne and bowed his head in respect. The hint of evil and the stupid smirk was visible to me. I was someone who had done masters in hiding his emotions and expressions. And I was going to use that. I smiled fondly at the man standing in front of him. I nodded at him curtly, sparing a glance at the man standing on his left.

"My king, I apologize for entering your kingdom without notice. But I was astonished when I heard that you are married. And as I have signed the treaty of peace I wanted to visit you. After all, I am the king of the kingdom which is the third largest and stronger kingdom in hind. "

He said with poison lacing in all his evil limbs. I wanted to strangle him under the sun and tear his skin from his body. How interesting it would be!

"I welcome you in my kingdom, King jaywamt. I hope princess jignasa has reached safely to her father " 

His eyes shone with some different expression as he chuckled in annoyance.

"You remember the name of my daughter my king, I knew she was special. But I am wounded that you didn't choose her as your queen. " He frowned. I knew it was all a drama.

"I remember her name because she belonged to the kingdom of jagnya, she is a smart woman. "

"My daughter is a smart woman and has aced every field. She is a fierce warrior and a lady " He winked indicating how sexual his sentence was. I cringed at his behaviour how can a father say something like that about his daughter.

"If you desire you could take her as your second wife. I won't complain. Marrying two princesses of the most powerful kingdoms will benefit you. "  He walked a little further his smirk growing bigger.

I knew the princess of jagnya she was one of the princesses who tried to steal my apples from my orchards with my dearest wife. I don't know what kind of pleasure they won after doing that. I was pissed when I got the news of someone invading my orchards but the anger settled down when I gazed at the beautiful woman talking with master junious. Tanirika stood out for me, the way she held and addressed herself blew me off. I was fascinated with that woman.

"Did you travel this way long to just talk king jaywant? " I asserted he could easily sense the distaste in my voice. I was not happy discerning him here and I wanted him to know that.

"I was travelling to my sister's kingdom when I thought to visit the king of kings. I came here to show my gratitude towards the king and queen of Rakshatra. I brought some gifts for you, my king " He said smiling at me. I ushered him to present his gifts which he gladly expected. Royal advisor achyut moved forward standing beside the king examining the gifts he bought.

There were various jewels, fruits and gold in the boxes. I nodded at him.

"There is one more thing my king and it's especially for you," He said eyeing his royal advisor. The man nodded and ordered the servants to bring it.

I stared desperately at the gift which he brought specially for me. I wanted this all to get over soon. I had a wife to visit.

A woman entered with two guards, she was wearing a one strip blouse and a low waist skirt, a veil was attached on her forehead. She walked seductively in the court, showcasing every curve on her body. Her white skin attracted many men sitting in court. 

And I knew what was my gift it was a courtesan, a whore to pleasure me.

"This is sumukhi, my king.  She is one of the best dancers in my kingdom, her beauty is incomparable and is a wild gem of my court. Today I gift her to you. Please accept her my king. "

Meglos snorted a laugh from the back of his seat, I knew he would be delighted. I turned my head towards him, he was busy staring at the exposed woman standing in the middle of the court. He loved ladies. Master junious looked displeased he hated these types of things.  Well, I hated these things too.

Women are not a commodity. They are not objects who can be gifted to anyone.

I was about to deny the whole gift when royal advisor achyut stepped up. I eyed him as he conveyed his message through expressions. His back was turned towards the king jaywant which was easier for me to get the clue.

"Thank you for your gift King jaywant. I would like you to make yourself comfortable and enjoy the hospitality of my kingdom. " I smiled sarcastically as I got up ending the court session without sparing a second glance at the woman.

Who cares?

I had a wife and I craved to see her beautiful face again.

HAPPY BELATED WOMEN'S DAY. ALL THE BEAUTIFUL OUT THERE I LOVE YALL.

I hope y'all liked this chapter.

As I promised this chapter is written in the king's POV. I hope you like him. He is soft. 🥺

Anyway, thank you for supporting me and this book.

Love aditi ❤
