Ruhani POV

Nandani's talks flew over my brain and she asked all of sudden.

"Are you excited for this celebration,"

She asked and nodded while signalling.

'I would have been happier if he was with me,'

She chuckled and muttered teasingly.

"Don't worry, he will surely reach here by the time of your wedding night. And, I am sure it will not be the same like previous one,"

I blushed like beetroot and she laughed a little.

"This love is confusing,"

I thinned my eyebrows as asked.

'Why so?'

"For some it's the petals of rose that become the reason of your floral environment and blushed cheeks while for some it's just thorns of the rose that become the reason of your heart break and pain,"

I heard her and touched her hand asking.

'Is there something I should know?'

She smiled weakly and muttered.

"Some other time, my love,"

I nodded as I could patiently wait till the time she was comfortable enough to share.

"These two weeks are just yours,"

She smiled and said.

"We should get ready. I have to brief my plan to everyone,"

I nodded and we both came out of the bathing area.

I opened my closet for her and she said.

"I brought you some dresses from Hind,"

I smiled with joy as I always loved those long skirts with blouses. They looked hot.

She clapped two times and an attendee showed up.

"Bring the dresses from my chamber,"

The attendees nodded and we both laughed and dried our hair meanwhile they brought our clothes.

"By the way Ruhani, have he ever touched you below your neck?"

She asked all of sudden with amusement and I blushed immediately shaking my head.

Her face also turned slightly timid and I noticed a tint of blush.

I held her hand slowly and turned her to face me.

'Do you like someone?'

I asked signalling her and she turned silent.

'Tell me, who is he?'

I asked again and she intertwined her fingers nervously and started telling.

"Yes, I like someone even I love him,"

'Who is he? Tell me?'

I asked and she lifted her gaze to me.

"It's complicated,"

She said and I thinned my eyebrows signalling.

'Whats complicated?'

"He is son of utter enemy. Do you know about your mother's lover before marriage, Abhidev Pratap Singh?"

She asked and I recalled the memories of my mother telling me everything. No, she didn't miss him but he told everything for the praise of my father. Considering how he was so lovable even my mother had a past.

I nodded.

"So, the friend of him, Suryadev singh, he is son of him. Rudra Dev Singh,"

My eyes just came out of socket as I couldn't believe it.

I shook my head immediately telling that those people weren't worth trusting.

"See, you also think him that way,"

I stopped shaking my head and looked at her falling face.

'No, I didn't mean it,'

I tried to signal and held her hand tightly.

"I love him and he loves me so much. You know, Bhai didn't know about him and when he came back from his educational institutions to Palace, he brought him along. They were sharing the Gurukul,"

I formed an 'o' listening cautiously.

"Then, my parents out of humanity let him stay in our palace and we both fell in love,"

I thinned my eyebrows asking.

'Now?'

"Now, we want to get married but don't know how we are going to tell our parents about them,"

She was looking at me and I was about to tell something but Ammi caught our attention.

"You both aren't even ready yet. You know everyone is waiting for you on the breakfast table,"

She smiled and we corrected our shocked face.

"We were just about to join,"

Nandani said and Ammi said.

"Go, get ready fast,"

She said and just then the attendee with clothes appeared.

We both took the same pair of orange lehnga choli and went to change.

Whole time my mind was worried about Nandani. I didn't but my heart wasn't ready to trust those enemies.

I just didn't want them to use Nandani for anything insensible.

I got ready and we three joined for the dinner. Now, my brain was equally worried about my husband, Nandani and my brother Haider.

I had to talk to him too.

But, now let's focus on the family talks. We all gathered again on the breakfast table and this time I chose my father as companion.

He placed his hand on my head and kissed my forehead with love.

"I hope your stupid husband doesn't irritate you much,"

He said and I chuckled.

I could see lines of tension on his forehead. He even lost some weight since I met him last time. I knew it was all because of me. He was worried for me.

Well, my mother was different in this case. She was confident about me that I would not let anything wrong happen to me.

But, my father still considers me a four year old Ruhani who would fall into a deadly problem if he ever leaves my side.

I smiled widely looking at him and kissed the back of his hand.

I looked into his worried eyes and signalled.

'If I weren't happy you must have noticed. He isn't like he was in front of you. Things are getting better between us,'

Tears collected in my eyes as I missed my childhood filled with love. The walks in the garden holding his hand that I could barely reach. The baths together in the pond when we were children. The games and irritating Ammi together.

He nodded his head weakly and muttered.

"If I were given the option. I would have kept you with me only all life,"

I chuckled and a tear fell from my eyes.

The moment was really emotional for me and then I told him to start eating.

We all started eating and the chit chat. Nandani once again went into her planner mode and she told everyone to start decorating the whole palace.

Well, it would take two whole days to decorate the Sultanate and the celebration would start.

She recalled all the rituals and told that we would start them after three days till then everyone just rest and keep talking.

I laughed and we all finished the breakfast.

The next days passed in laughing, listening and telling. My family were really happy with my arrival. Especially Nandani, she was like spreading happiness to each corners.

And her brother was irritated with the fact that she couldn't even sit for even some moments.

Well, the days were full of laughter and joy but the nights were difficult to pass. The main reason was a kind of  restlessness I was feeling that Sultan wouldn't be able to sleep well.

I thought those fifteen days would pass even without remembering him but the more I was enjoying with my family, the more I was missing the silent moments I passed with him. The talkless book reading, the talks with eyes and his sensational affect on me.

But, I had to pass these days without him. He didn't even agree on coming here. We would have enjoyed to the fullest if he was here.

I pouted my face and tried to fall asleep. The whole Palace was decorated and tomorrow the prayers would start.

Next morning we all woke and started getting ready for the prayers.

Nandani chose a beautiful yet simple outfit for me and she was excited to witness it.

I chose not to wear heavy jewelry, only the mandatory ones for married woman.

And, we all visited the nearby mosque to serve our prayers.

Everyone blessed me and we all were enjoying a lot. The day was slightly tiring with lots of talks and the celebration was started.

I had a few meetings with the jewelery seller, dress sellers and others. Nandani joined and we both selected outfits for everyone for all the functions.

The next few days also passed quickly as we skipped a few rituals in which participation of groom's side was required.

After the almost ten days she since I arrive in Sultanate, the main celebration celebration started.

Haider was still not around most of the times. He even misses court proceedings sometimes and Rehman Bhaijaan had to leave to Hamid Sultanate for some urgent meetings. But, he would be back tomorrow.

I was lying in my chamber late night alone and was waiting for the sleep to shower some blessings on me.

I didn't know but today there was some kind of uneasiness in me. My heart was missing him a lot now. I was surrounded by everyone but the longing of an ounce of his appearance was making me feel sad inside.

I didn't know how he was. I must have been feeling angry for what he did. But, may be I couldn't be angry with him. Because, it didn't matter to him or maybe there was still a hope inside me that he would come here.

I signed and closed my eyes to sleep. Because, tomorrow the beauty baths would start which would be continues to three days.

Well, everyone was happy and joyful. There was a different kind of happines on their faces that didn't exist on the first time.

Thinking all these, I fell asleep in sometime.

I woke up next day when the sun rays started irritating me.

I got off the bed and took the bath first.

After getting ready we all met on the breakfast table. I didn't know but I was feeling low today. All I wanted to know if he rest in these eleven days or not.

No, I wasn't worried about Rabia because there was a surety in me. That my husband didn't like her even an ounce.

"So, today you will be covered in essential oils and sandal paste,"

Nandani said teasing and I smiled weakly.

Her eyebrows thinned in a row and she asked.

"What happened? Missing him already?"

I nodded slightly and she lifted her eyebrow smilingly.

"Don't worry he will here in three days,"

She said and I signalled her.

'But, I only told about two weeks. He would be angry if I won't reach by then,'

She chuckled.

"Then, let him be angry,"

She said and I smiled weakly.

Obviously, why was I worried. I was a princess and his wife. I had every right on extending my holidays.

We all finished our breakfast and then Nandani and my both mothers with a few more ladies took me to the decorated hall.

The hall was covered with yellow and green curtains and no man were allowed there. The treatment was to enhance the beauty.

They asked me to change my clothes to a cotton fabric.

I did what they asked and hesitantly sat on the wooden low height stool.

My legs upto thighs were visible along with with bare shoulders and arms.

I was basically hairless as in my childhood my mother got me massaged with oil. The oil massage to baby prevents body hair as it closed the pours. Mine was done till I was five.

And, the rest were removed time to time with sugar based wax and cotton strips.

My both Ammi and Nandani started applying the sandal wood paste containing essential oils to my skin. They started messaging my body and one lady started messaging my long hair.

The process took time and after that I bathed thoroughly.

We repeated the same thing next day too and then the Haldi started.

Theh mixed turmeric and sandalwood paste with rose water and applied it on whole my body.

It was proper ceremony arranged and Nandani Danced in it.

My mother and brothers also joined while Badi Ammi also showed some steps.

I laughed so much that it brought tears into my eyes.

At last my mother pulled father on the floor and he asked me to dance along.

I didn't think twice in joining and we all enjoyed it to fullest with lots of laughter.

The day was really long and tiring. I slept after lying over the bed.

The same thing repeated next day and I turned a little worried now. It was fourteenth day and he must be expecting me to arrive there tomorrow.

But, I didn't want to go. Not alone like that.

Well, I had to stop thinking as it was my favourite day, Mehndi.
