Nandani POV

"But, I love that,"

He chuckled.

I also smiled a little and suddenly the attendee's voice caught our attention.

"Ranaji, massage oil,"

She said from afar, from the other side of the curtain and he said.

"Leave that on the table and close the door when you leave. Do not let anyone come inside without permission,"

He said to her and kissed my lips slowly and gently.

I heard the anklet bells of the attendee fading away and then the door shutting.

"Let's do it again,"

He muttered against my lips and I immediately pushed him away.

"You want me dead?"

I said with widened eyes.

He chuckled and moved the curtains aside to step down the bed. He grabbed the towel and stood up to wrap it around his waist.

I saw him parting the curtains to let the morning sunlight fall into the chamber through the window. I kept laying on the bed with the comforters up to my chest to cover my nakedness and saw him walking towards the table.

He picked up the bowl of oil and brought it closer to me.

He sat on the edge of the bed and grabbed the comforter to pull it.

"Move it aside,"

He said and I tried to tighten my hold on the comforter trying to say.

"I am naked,"

He smirked and said.

"I have seen it all, little wife,"

A tint of blush warned up my cheeks and I let him pull the comforters aside.

"Now, lay down comfortably,"

He said and I straightened my legs comfortably.

I did not know but I was feeling really uncomfortable, lying naked like that in front of him. So, I just grabbed the comforter and covered my middle portion.

He smiled and I just watched him rubbing the oil between his palms and touching my feet. He slowly started massaging my feet in circular motions and I was feeling like diving into heaven already. His hands were feeling oily with a rough texture and had firmness that was making the blood circulation faster.

"Where did you learn it?"

I asked and he smiled now rubbing his hands on my legs swiftly.

"You do not want to hear that, little bird,"

He said in a slow voice and I furrowed my brows.

"Yes, I do,"

I said.

He shook his head.

"No,"

I kicked him a little on his chest playfully and said.

"Yes,"

He started bringing firmness even more and shook his head.

"No,"

I did not know but suddenly his denial was making me feel like something in my stomach and I immediately said.

"Wait a moment, you had an affair before me?"

He thinned his brows with a smile and chuckled deeply.

"Are you mad,"

He said and I inhaled a breath of peace.

"Then tell me,"

I tried to force myself and looked at his face changing from carrying a smile to a little serious. 

"It was the Uncle. He used to tell me about the massage. Apart from the King guard, I was massager, attendee and servant,"

He said and a wave of pain travelled down my heart.

"Then, why did not you kill him? Rudra. Why leave him in the cellar alone, he deserves to be beheaded,"

I tried to say and he looked at me.

"I wanted to kill you when I get to know that he laid his dirty hands on you. But, he did not actually so he is not a culprit. Also, no matter how badly he behaved with me but we both share the same blood and I just cannot kill a family. But, cannot let him escape the dungeon too,"

He said and I smiled.

"Sometimes, it seems like I am not talking to this wrathful or mighty Rudra but this mature and peaceful Ranaji,"

I said and he chuckled.

And, suddenly he pulled me closer and kissed on my toes.

I giggled and felt him touching my thighs now.

"You are not feeling now but it is going to hurt soon,"

He said and I thinned my brows asking him.

"How are you so sure?"

I asked and he just smiled looking at me while massaging my thighs in with long strokes and I could feel that it was sending the warmth of his touch to my legs which were feeling really weak now.

"Unlike you I excersize,"

He said and I furrowed my brows.

"How rude,"

I said and pouted and just chuckled.

He continued doing my massage. His hand paying attention to my legs, my waist, lower abdomen, midriff, arms, wrists, my back, and even my neck one by one.

By the time his hand reached to turn me on my stomach, I felt pretty exposed. His hand touched my lower back and start massaging my back.

I was liking the fact that he was not trying to make me comfortable and concerned about my naked body. For some time, I felt utterly warm and comfortable being naked and open to light in front of him.

He finished the massage and he said.

"We will take a bath in some time now. The oil will help you ease your muscle pain,"

He said and I nodded feeling dizzy already.

"Okay,"

I heard him chuckle a little and he said.

"Do not you dare to fall asleep now, little wife, your brother is in the Kingdom,"

He warned and sat beside my head and I immediately put my head in his lap.

His hand gently came over my head to start caressing my hair with light fingers and I felt beautiful like never before.

I did not know when I fell asleep and felt like awakened when he called.

"Hey, little bird, get up, time for duties,"

He said and inhaled a deep breath and stretched my arms.

I hugged his midriff tightly and said.

"Take me to the bathing room,"

I heard him slightly chuckle and felt him pulling me in his arms. I was feeling deadly asleep right now.

And, the moment warm water touched my body I felt a burning pain in my core.

"Uhmmmm,"

I let out a slight cry and he gently started rubbing my back.

"It will ease you,"

My back touched his chest and I wrapped his arm around me. My head leaned back against his chest and his lips were gently playing with my ear.

It was all beautiful, silent and peaceful.

I had always wondered what would it be like to be married to this man. And, somewhere my brain always told me that it would be difficult and not the bed of roses as he paid absolutely no interest in showing me this kind of love. I always thought that it would be something like him dominating me.

But, I was gladly submitting myself to this Rudra who was possessive yet caring, who was rough yet so gentle, who was dominating yet so submissive, who was strong yet so weak, who was all-powerful yet so vulnerable, who had everything for me. 

And, right in this moment, when his arms were wrapped around me, his body was sending waves of comfort and warmth, his breath was tickling my ear, his voice was soothing my heart and his presence was making my present more alive, I felt like living a life.

A life I bravely choose for myself and proudly wanted to live however it would be. If he would fight, I would fight back, if he would love would love back, if things get wrong we would try to fix and if everything goes well our love would bloom more and more.

It was way easy for me to accept that he betrayed me and I would have just moved on with any other man. But, there was a whole battle inside me and I knew that anyone could possess my body but I gave my soul to him way before that. And, we all have just one soul. Be careful to who you give your soul. 

I knew that he loved me. Because the mind could lie, the heart too sometimes but the sound that comes from within never lies, it knows the best.

I felt him inhaling a deep breath and we spent the long, warm bath in each other's arms with utter silence. Our bodies talking to each other, our eyes gazing into each other's eyes and knowing that we were together in this. He was not more than me and I was not more than him. Just equals and that was beautiful. It was beautiful to know that you were giving your everything to someone and he was giving his everything to you too. It was the best feeling ever one could have in life.

After a long bath, we both came out of the bathing room and marched to the dressing room. The sunlight was falling into the chamber and making our skin glow and we were smiling and laughing, helping each other to get ready. Because we were Rudra and Nandani in this Nine parted Chambers but the King and the Queen for the world outside.

I was happy that we were trying our best to not bring our titles, recognitions, and achievements into this chamber as where love exists everything else shall remain aside. Because, love knows no titles, no recognition, no achievements, no religion, no culture, no gender, no colour and nothing else.

But, to live love is not sufficient. It is a hope that shall remain burnt like a flame because it gives you a sense of belonging, a sense of comfort, a sense of purpose and a sense of joy and being alive.

Love is always strong. Whether you want to fight against the world and claim the person you love, it is strength or you make yourself strong and live in the world outside and keep the love alive inside.

Love is beautiful yet so wrathful.

And, we have seen both sides of it. We witnessed its beautiful side and we witnessed its wrathful side. It is an energy that can either make you or break you. And, we both broke each other yet completed each other.

His eyes were looking into mine and I was looking into his eyes.

It was mesmerizing when he leaned in and gently kissed my lips. The softness and freshness made me feel butterflies and I giggled a little.

He moved aside and I looked at myself in the mirror wearing yellow.

"You are glowing, little wife,"

He said and I chuckled.

"All thanks to your ten years of hard work,"

And, he burst into laughter.

I also laughed and looked at him taking a pinch of vermillion between his finger and applying it to the partition of my hair and looking at me with soft eyes.

"Mine, finally,"

I smiled and could not help but blush.

He was looking handsome in the maroon and I stood up on my toes to kiss his cheeks for a moment.

"You too,"

We both smiled and suddenly there was a knock on the door.

"Come in,"

He said and I looked at an attendee walking inside with a bowl in her hand.

He took the bowl in his hand and I thinned my brows.

"You can leave,"

He said to her and she walked bath and closed the door.

"What is this?"

I asked and he put it on the table. His face turned serious a little.

"Birth control,"

He said and I looked at him with surprise.

"What?"

I asked and he looked at me with a flat expression.

"You are young for a baby, Nandani,"

He said and I gulped slightly.

"But, you are not,"

I tried to say in a slow voice.

"I know but we still have a lot to figure out,"

He said and I questioned.

"In what terms?"

He clicked his tongue.

"The Kingdom is new for me. You are habitual of it but I am learning and I do not want our child to suffer what I suffered. If we are to bring a child into this world, he or she must feel that we welcomed him or her with all our heart and it was not just a hit and trial,"

He said and I knitted my brows.

"I do not get you,"

I said and saw him gulping.

"I mean, my father had so many wives and had so many children too. What were they? What are we? I mean the three of us. I, Ranvijay and Agastya. He surely did not want us, we were just born how children are born. They had sex and my mother got pregnant and what we became after that. I see around and see the young kids suffering because the ones who brought them into this world are not ready to feel responsible for them. They just have sex and give birth and do not understand that it is a new soul you are bringing into this harsh world. So, at least prepare for him or her. At least, prepare something to give him comfort until he or she decides to step out. Why call them to come into this life when you cannot raise them well? Why bring them into this reality when you know that you cannot give them what they need?"

His eyes turned teary.

"Why children are just the outcome of a mere pleasurable act? I am sure many people crave to have children and they deserve children, not the ones who are not even ready to give them the comfort, the joy they deserve. My father never understood the responsibility of having children. I do not want children in this circumstance when I know that I am not stable, that things are yet to change or maybe change or something could happen. I want my children, I mean I want our children to get the best. I want to give them all what we did not get,"

His lips were trembling and I immediately walked forward to hug him.

"I know, I understand and feel proud of the way you think. Indeed, children are a blessing and they should not feel that they were just born because of the mere act of pleasure,"

He tightly wrapped his arms around me and I closed my eyes.

"I love you so much, Nandani. But, if want to have children, that is fine, I will do everything to give you and them the best,"

I immediately pulled back and looked at him.

"What do you mean by them?"

I asked with thinned brows and a surprised look on my face.

"Them. At least, six to ten children,"

He said and I mouth hung open.

"No,"

I immediately said.

"What? Yes,"

He said and I shook my head.

"No, I am done,"

I said.

"Whattt?"

He exclaimed.

"I am so done with you,"

I said and he laughed.

"Just joking, I will obey whatever you ask for,"

He said and pulled me closer in a hug.

I smiled and he said.

"The soup is getting cold, Nandani,"

I inhaled a deep breath and took the bowl in my hand. I smiled at him and took a sip.

"Yuccckkkkkkkkkkkk,"

I immediately felt like throwing up.

He laughed a little and took it from my hand and tasted it.

"It is good,"

He said.

And, I shook my head.

"Nooo,"

He handed me it again and I tried to finish it.

"I will not be drinking it again. You better learn to pull out,"

I said and he laughed again.

And, suddenly there was a loud knock on the door.

"Seems, like your brother is up,"

He said and I chuckled.

"Yes,"
