Rudra POV
"I want to break my controlling period, and I cannot make you fall sick in front of your parents,"
I said and her face instantly turned horrified. Her eyes widened and her cheeks flushed.
"What?"
She questioned and tried to straighten herself. I also straightened myself and looked at her to say again.
"I want to break my controlling period and want us to consummate our marriage,"
Her eyes widened even more and she immediately stepped down from the bed, turning scared as hell.
And, before she could go even a few feet away, I immediately held her hand and said.
"Aaayeee,"
She turned to look back at me and her lips trembled to say.
"Are you mad? Con... Consumm...ation. Are you mad?"
She said and grabbed her blouse, sliding her arms in it with shaking hands, she adjusted it over her bosom and pulled her hair to the front and tried to tie it.
Seeing her struggling with it, I stood up from the bed and stood behind her. Holding the strings with my fingers, I took them from her hands and said slowly.
"Lagta hai aapki neend udd gayi,"
"Seems like your sleepiness blew away,"
She lowered her gaze and I moved my fingers to tie her blouse.
"You have... work... worked very very hard... for this... you cann... you should not break it in the middle. Talk to your Guruji about it, first,"
She tried to say and I inhaled a deep breath sitting back on the bed after tying it.
She turned to look at me and I looked at her while saying.
"The controlling period was not for the becoming the King, though it helped me build a discipline that a King should have. But, the main motive behind making this sacrifice was to change the future. The future that a fortune-teller predicted. He claimed that there will be a great war, a war that will change lives, and he assured me that I will lose that war for sure. And then my Guruji started looking for solutions. And, the best solution was the controlling period. A sacrifice that would make me build discipline, that will erase all my desires and help me control everything that can lead me to a great war. And, he specially mentioned to do not to get indulged with women, love, or sex and any time of Kama. But, now that I know that there will not be any war as I and your father will get into a peace treaty, this is not needed. And, even if it's needed then I do not want to continue. I want to leave everything whose motive started from my father and which is anyhow connected to him. I want to be a King on my own now, on my own learnings and hard work. Not with the help of any sacrifices and all,"
I said and she blinked looking at me. She walked closer and sat down on her knees in front of me. She held my hand and looked into my eyes.
Shaking her head lightly, she started.
"I know, you are capable of everything and you can do it. But, still, this is your Guruji's place to decide, do not let your sacrifice go to vain just because you are heartbroken and upset now,"
She said and I shook my head.
"I have made up my mind, Nandani,"
I declared and she lowered her gaze to stand up.
"Then, it is a 'No',"
She said in a slow voice and put her feet to walk back. My hand immediately held her wrist and pulled her closer.
"What do you mean it is a 'no'?"
I asked and she inhaled a deep breath looking into my eyes.
"Finish what you started. If you will break your controlling period just because you cannot think properly right now, people will get the wrong message. They would never know the real reason why you are doing this but take you as a person who could not control himself even for a month after his marriage. And, I do not want to send this image of you to the people. Even if the people are a single person,"
She said and blinked looking into my eyes.
*Knock*
*Knock*
Suddenly, there was a loud knock on the door and she turned to question.
"Yes,"
I loosened my hold on her wrist and listened to the attendee saying from the other side.
"Princess, The King and Queen are asking for you and Ranaji for the breakfast,"
She informed her and she replied.
"Tell them that we are coming,"
She turned to look back at me and said.
"We will discuss this later, Rudra. I know you are hurt, no matter how normal you are trying to behave but inside you are just searching for an escape and this idea of consummating our marriage now is one of that escapes. Do not hurry up things like this. I do not have a problem with you breaking your controlling period. It's absolutely up to you, it's your sacrifices, and your hard work but not when you are low, broken and upset,"
She said and leaned in closer to peck my forehead lovingly.
"No one is dying for feeling loved by you more than me. No one is more excited for us to make love than me. But, please not until you feel it is right to do, not like this. Not as a punishment for you,"
She said and caressed my chin with her finger.
"I love you so much,"
I closed my eyes and inhaled a deep breath. She gently stroked her fingers in my hair and said.
"We both should get ready,"
I nodded and felt her moving away from me.
Honestly, she was absolutely right somewhere. I desperately wanted an escape, an escape that would make me forget what happened, that would make me feel distracted from all the thoughts that I felt before jumping into the river. The thoughts that made me do such a thing were scary and frightening. So scary that I could not even put them into words.
Sitting by the side of the bank of the river, I recalled all the memories of my childhood and felt insanely heartbroken to realise that there was not even a single moment when my thoughts were iced with the mindset of revenge. This was so triggering, so eye-opening that my almost twenty-nine years of life did not mean anything except revenge.
And, during the process, I never realized what I was doing with my life, until now. It was like the more I was focused, the more I was determined towards my goal, with the controls all over my sanity and precisely thinking, the more I went away from reality.
I realised that all these years, I had my goals, thinking and controls so rigid that I denied changing even the slightest bit.
But, after meeting Nandani and especially what happened after I left her. Everything collapsed. It was like a sudden flood of thoughts, challenges and everything that was tied tightly with the blocks of wood, like a dam.
And, now I did not feel any guilt, two thoughts or ashamed of saying that I fell for her, and I fell harder and she was the best thing that happened in my life.
Well, in the beginning, I used to think and question why I was feeling this much inclined towards her, why my heart was suddenly feeling a change, but now looking back I could say that It was all for good. Maybe the energies were preparing me for this day. As no matter how hard lies try but could never overcome the power of truth.
"Not ready yet?"
Suddenly her voice of her caught my attention and I lifted my gaze to look at her standing against the mirror, making her long open hair into a bun. She looked fresh after the bath and beautiful too in the orange and red.
I stood up from the bed and walked towards her.
could not stop me from hugging her from behind and leaning my lips into the side of her neck.
"Thank you so much for coming into my life, little wife,"
She smiled all of sudden and touched my hand over her waist.
"The feelings are terribly mutual, Ranaji,"
She slowly turned to look at me and said.
"Get dressed,"
I nodded and walked towards the couch to grab my kurta. I was not in the mood to take bath again in the morning as I took one last night.
"I am ready,"
I said wearing the kurta and she inhaled a deep and frustrated breath looking at me.
She pulled my hand and made me sit on the couch. Pushing her fingers into my hair, she started to comb my hair lightly and said.
"Matlab ab sab kuch hi tyaag diya hai aapne,"
"Means you have given up on everything now,"
I chuckled and leaned in to kiss her midriff lovingly.
"No, just want to spend some alone and quality time with you,"
I said and she smiled looking at me.
She took a step back and I suddenly pulled her back again and teasingly bit on her nipple over the fabric.
"Aaaouuuchhhh,"
She startled feeling the sting and I chuckled. She slapped my cheek playfully and whisper scolded me.
"If you will do it again, I will cut my nipples and give them to you, then you keep playing with them,"
She said with frustration and I laughed lightly.
I forwarded my palm and said.
"Why not? Give me boobies,"
My voice was and teasy and she settled her duppatta slapping my hand hard and muttered.
"Let's go, they must be waiting for us,"
I smiled and stood up raking my fingers into the hair to walk with her.
We both went to the dining hall for the breakfast and I looked at everyone waiting for us.
"Good morning, Bhai-sa,"
Ranvijay said standing up and I gently patted on his shoulder saying in a slow voice.
"Morning,"
Agastya also looked at me and stood up. I patted his shoulder too and smiled weakly.
"How are you now, Rudra?"
Her father asked and I smiled looking at me.
"Better, Rajaji,"
I looked at Nandani walking to them and sitting with her mother. I looked at her mother talking to her something slowly which I could not hear and sat beside Ranvijay and Agastya.
"Rudra, I wanted to talk to all three of you about something,"
He said and I looked at him.
"Please, Rajaji, I am already so much of ashamed about knowing the reality of my father and... And now I am also feeling like I do not deserve any of this. This is all so difficult and hard to digest for me, right now,"
His face fell a little and he said.
"I know, Rudra, it must be very difficult to accept the drastic changes that happen in life. But, still whatever happened, be it for good or bad, but it does not change the fact that we killed your fath-,"
"I killed,"
Suddenly, her mother interrupted.
I gulped and lowered my gaze.
"Rajaji is right. No matter what was the reason but it does not change the fact that I killed your father and the society we live in does not let woman live peacefully if her support system dies. Even, unknowingly and unwantedly we made you suffer a lot. And, from the depth of my heart, I want to apologize for everything that happened. We are really very sorry for your loss,"
She said and unwantedly my ears teared up.
A Kind of silence followed and suddenly Ranvijay said.
"Ye to sirf bahana ki Jo hua vo aapki wajah se hua ya fir aapne maara. Jisko jaana hai, vo to jaega hi, kaaran kuch bhi ho sakta hai, lekin vo isi ke layak the,"
"This is all for saying that whatever happened was because of you or you killed him. But, the fact is whoever is meant to leave, will leave, the way could be anything, but he deserved that,"
I inhaled a deep breath and listened to Agastya.
"Yes, I completely agree,"
I nodded.
"You do not have to apologize. If I were at your place, I would have sliced throat by myself,"
I said and could feel a deep shiver running into my body.
A kind of thrilling silence followed until I chose to speak.
"By the way, Rajaji, we are looking forward to establish a peace treaty between Mahableshgarh and Suryagarh. Now, since we have personal as well political relationships and seems like overcoming the manipulated past, it becomes a necessity to not let anyone take chance of the misunderstandings between us, that does not even exist,"
Her father looked at with a kind of surprise and immediately smiled wider.
"Ofcourse... Wow... Yes, I mean this is the best thing to do. It is best to establish the new future,"
He agreed and I smiled.
I looked at Ranvijay to signal him to bring the draft papers for the peace treaty.
"We have made a draft document for peace treaty. You can go through it, consult with your people and then can let us know if there any amendments or negotiations needed,"
I said and he smiled wholeheartedly.
"Well, I was expecting something good on the festival but not this,"
I chuckled a little and looked at Nandani staring blankly at me while drinking water.
"Also, Rajaji, I and Rani-sa have to head back home today itself as our neighbouring states are waiting to hear from us. It is kind of a little urgent to go there, but I promise to pay a long visit again when everything settles down,"
And, she chocked on the water.
"Uhhhooooooooo, uhooooooooooooooooooo,"
She started coughing suddenly and we all looked at her.
"What happened? Nandani,"
Her mother asked and she looked at me with the big eyes.
A slight smile appeared on my face and she asked.
"What? Today.... Why?"
I lifted my one brow and leaned in to look sharply at her.
"Why are looking afraid? Nandani,"
She coughed even more intensely and shook her head.
"Afraid? Me? Why would I?"
Her cheeks turned red and I looked sharply at her.
"Good then, Also, I and Nandani have something very important to do before the end of tonight,"
I said and she looked at me with the wider eyes than before.
"What? Tonight?"
