Ruhani POV

I stood there like a frozen scared kitten and he walked away slowly.

I collected my racing heartbeats and turned myself to steal a gaze of me through the mirror.

I lifted my lashes only to notice that my face was beetroot red and I tilted my face only to see that I got a dark red mark of uneven circle on my neck.

I lowered my gaze with timidness and started collecting my messed hair. Silently I braid my hair and tied them securely.

Adjusting my jewelry again I settled my duppatta the way that the mark of my love got hidden.

After the last night, I wasn't expecting this but it felt different and good. Especially the moment when he showed the possessiveness. I had always witnessed the angry or playful side of him but it was magically different.

"Bhabhijaan,"

I shivered suddenly and adjusted my duppatta when my sight fell on Adeena coming towards me.

"Bhabhijaan, bhaijaan has asked for you. Your convoy is ready,"

I thinned my eyebrows with the word 'Your convoy'. He said that he would come along if I would fulfill his wish. I kissed him. Overcoming my nervousness I kissed him but why he wasn't coming with me.

I signalled Adeena asking why wasn't he coming with me but she looked confused and thinned her eyebrows.

She thinned her eyebrows and I repeated my actions.

But she still looked confused as she said.

"I should call Shaheen, the translator,"

She left me there and I walked after her coming out of the dressing room. She left the chamber while my sight fell on Sultan entering at the same time.

He looked at me and I walked towards him angrily.

Stopping in front of him I signalled asking why the hell he wasn't coming with me.

But he also looked confused and I repeated my actions slowing them down for him.

He sucked on his lower lip and thinned his eyebrows carefully watching my actions.

"Are you hungry?"

I shook my head immediately.

I try to repeat again giving efforts on the specific places to make him understand.

"You want to leave as soon as possible?"

He said and it was making me angry now.

I repeated my actions extremely slowly and he took a few steps back with fear.

"Look Ruhani, I am so sorry but your expressions are scaring me,"

I signed giving up and sat down on the couch.

Then my sight followed the steps entered inside the chamber.

Shaheen entered and I stood up immediately.

I signalled her everything and she looked at Sultan with the timid face.

"Sultan, Begum is saying that she fulfilled your wish and now she wants you to come along,"

Sultan blushed a little and looked at me.

"Ruhani, you know I cannot go there,"

He said and I wanted towards him signalling again which Shaheen translated to him.

"Then why did you ask her to do that?"

Sultan looked at Shaheen and then looked at me raking his hand in head nervously.

"Do what?"

He asked innocently and it enraged my anger even more. No doubt I had similar anger like my mother even though I couldn't express it.

I looked at Shaheen and my heart beats raced to signal what I wanted to say.

She blushed understanding my actions but did her job translating the same.

"That kiss, Sultan, she said that kiss,"

He looked at Shaheen and than look at me with the shocked face.

"Okay, you can leave us alone,"

He said immediately to Shaheen and I looked at her leaving us. What was it? Now, he didn't want to even talk.

I looked at him with utter shock. And he looked at me holding my hand.

He held my gaze with his and spoke softly.

"Ruhani, you know it's not possible. Also, if I would go there then you will not be able to spend your quality time with them. Also, things are not that right between our families. I don't think it will be a good idea,"

He said and I pouted my face with anger. I wanted him to come with me. He played with me.

I jerked his hand and just walked away from there. He used me. He played with me. How could he just not care about my feelings.

"Ruhani?"

He called and I kept away from him. I just wanted to leave now, to my home.

"Ruhani?"

He called again and I walked towards the entrance where my convoy must be waiting for me.

My sight fell on Nagina who looked at me and asked.

"Begum?"

She called and I looked at her signalling her to bring my belongings. She understood me this time and just nodded.

I kept walking until I reached the entrance where my palanquin was waiting.

I waited for Nagina to bring my belongings and my sight fell on Sultan who was following me all the while.

He stood near to me and spoke slowly.

"Ruhani, please don't be angry,"

And I looked at him showing angry eyes.

I turned my face away from him and held my wrist making me face him again.

"Ruhani, pleaseeee... Try and understand,"

I jerked his hand and just now my palanquin arrived. I waited for Adeena and Saeed to meet them before leaving and there my sight fell on them coming towards us.

"Bhabhijaan,"

Saeed called and I smiled warmly.

"When will you be back?"

He asked while Adeena smiled standing beside him.

I signalled about two weeks and he pouted.

"These two weeks would be insane,"

I smiled and bid him goodbyes moving towards Adeena.

She pulled me in a hug and I closed my eyes with the warm feelings. They were the only two who understood me otherwise people were so mean.

We released the hug and I moved towards the palanquin as there were no more to meet.

But, before I could sit inside the palanquin I felt his hand holding my wrist softly.

I turned towards him keeping my gaze low.

Slowly, he pulled me closer in a loose hug and kissed on my forehead.

I closed my eyes with the warm touch and he muttered slowly in my ear.

"Jaldi aaiyega, hum aapko jee bhar ke manayenge,"

"Come back soon, I will make up to you to your heart's content,"

I still didn't smile as the efforts after fifteen days would no sense of I was angry now.

He released me and I sat in the palanquin without giving him any glance.

I was angry, sad, hurt, happy and the emotions were mixed that I couldn't comprehend what was it.

I was happy to meet my family and a piece of my heart wasn't ready to leave him alone. But the same piece was angry with him because he played with me.

Finally, the palanquin holders lifted it and we started moving away from him.

It was morning when I left the Empire and reached my parents home by night.

I could hear the trumpets blowing when the we reached there. The fire torches were brightening the whole Empire like festival.

I smiled widely stepping down from the palanquin. Adjusting my clothes to hide that love mark, I walked towards the entrance where my parents were waiting.

My sight fell on my mothers, father, brothers and my cousins with so many people.

I smiled widely and almost ran into my Fathers hug.

He hugged me tightly and I placed my head on his chest. I missed it so much. The love, the care and emotions with the chemistry, nothing could beat it.

My eyes were filled with the tears as he released the hug.

I wished him bowing my head and he kissed on my head.

"May god bless you, my baby,"

He muttered and I could also see tearful eyes of his.

"Are you okay? How are you? I was missing you so much,"

He said and again pulled me into the hug.

I nodded and smiled to all the questions.

He released the hug and I looked at my mother.

She pulled me into the hug and I hugged her tightly too. She kissed my cheek and asked.

"Ruhani, I was missing you so much my love. You know you are our air,"

Her eyes also turned teary and she cupped my cheeks releasing the hug.

"Everything good with your husband?"

Her face worried and I stayed silent for a moment.

"He hasn't come?"

She asked again.

I shook my head and her face fell. I was noticing her face when she lifted my face up to kiss my forehead but suddenly his worried lips turned into a wide smile and I quickly adjusted my duppatta with blush.

I shook my head lightly and she hugged me again.

"I am glad, everything is okay between you,"

I nodded and then moved towards my Badi Ammi.

She also pulled me into the hugged and showered me with her love and blessings.

I wished her too and she also kissed my forehead.

After her, I met Rehman Bhaijaan and Haidar.

They both also turned teary eyed meeting me and I didn't know why it was so emotional.

"Are you happy, baby?"

Rehman Bhaijaan asked and I nodded immediately.

I knew my family were extremely worried for me knowing what happened between me and Sultan. But, I couldn't see them worried and smiled widely.

After meeting both my brother's my sight fell on the young girl with beautiful eyes and attractive personality standing in a lehnga.

She screamed with joy and I jumped into the hug.

"Ruhaannnnniiiiiiii!"

Now, my eyes turned teary meeting my best friend and best cousin ever. She was the one who knew all my secrets and everything. Our friendship was old as our age as we used to travel to each other's home frequently. I used to stay at her home for months and she used to stay at mine.

She was Nandani, the daughter of my mother's brother. She belonged to Hind as my mother was her aunt.

She almost pulled me up and I tightened the hug. All the memories we spent together filled me with joy and then she released the hug slowly.

"Sorry, I missed you wedding but now I want all the details,"

She said and everyone laughed.
