Ruhani POV

My mother again knocked the door but this time with the high intensity. Looking at the condition of my chamber. A fearful shiver ran down my spine if my mother would see all of this.

"Ruhani, Are you okay? Open the door. Your husband has send a letter for you,"

She said and words were enough to make me run and pull the door forgetting everything.

The noise of door opening echoed in the room and my sight fell on her hand holding the letter even before her face.

I forwarded my hand asking for it even without an good morning wishes and she slowly hands me over while her eyes were just scanning the chamber.

"What happened here?"

She asked immediately and now her big eyes scanning me from head to toe.

"Who did this to you?"

She asked with care and fear.

I ignored her for a moment and started unrolling the letter with a smile and some knots in my stomach.

My sight fell on his handwriting which I saw for the first time. The letters were written so beautifully with calligraphic tone that says how studious he was.

I was surprised to the extent that it made me smile widely.

"Ruhani? What is this? Who did this to your chamber? Look at me,"

My mother made me look at her and I now noticed her worried eyes.

"Why your jewellery and things scattered on the floor. Who broke your bangles?"

Well, I caught insanely off-guard with so many questions.

"Tell me,"

She asked again and I looked back to the horrific view. Honestly, I didn't know what to say. But, how could I tell my mother that her son-in-law showed up here and just practised romance with me. Deadly Romance.

"What happened? Ruhani,"

She asked again and suddenly.

"Ruhani, Bua Ji,"

The voice of Nandani caught our attention and she immediately interrupted looking at my face.

"Sultan is calling you. He said he need help... Ummm... Sorry I forgot but it's urgent,"

She tried to say with the fearful voice and my mother said.

"Sultan is not here, Nandani. He went for some meeting to Hamid Sultanate early morning,"

Oh My Goodness!!!

Her face turned pale instantly and then my mother looked at me.

"What the hell is going on here?"

Her voice now turned angry all of sudden as she must have smelled something fishy.

I just blinked my eyes with fear and Nandani tried to lie again.

"Umm, we both were playing last night here. The game... Ahmmm, the game...,"

She looked clueless and I just stared at her.

"The game of Stripping,"

"Whattttttt?"

My mother instantly reacted and my mouth hung open to listen what she just said.

"No, no, no, I mean yesss,"

She looked terrified.

"Yes, Bua, I mean Ruhani told me that she needs help with..."

She clears her throat.

"To learn how to tease her husband,"

"Whatt??"

My mother again reacted badly to this insanely bad lie.

"And Nandani, how do you know how to tease your husband? For my record you are not married yet,"

"Yeah, thats true Bua ji. That's extremely true... But, I just told her the same thing that I am not married yet. But, she started fighting me with for this only and in anger she did all this,"

She said looking at the chamber's floor.

Okay, Nandani could be anything. She was a well educated and confident girl. She was beautiful like goddess and learnt every artistic thing. But, she was a terrible liar.

My mother looked at me and asked me.

"Ruhani, I just want truth,"

Now, I got no option but to tell her everything. Starting from how he denied coming here and then what Nandani did, she sent a letter to him telling I was sick. Then he came here all dressed up in disguised dacoit form. And obviously there was no explanation for all this scattered jewellery so ended up with my story just before it.

Her face turned from shocked to smiling inside.

"Okay, I don't want to know anything more. Sultan Aashiq Khan asked you to leave for the Sultanate today itself. So, you better get ready soon. You father will also be here in sometime,"

I signalled an okay.

And she looked at Nandani.

"Nandani, you don't have to lie when you are pure at heart. What would have I done even knowing the truth. Ruhani is married, she doesn't need to hide it,"

"Ji Bua Ji, sorry,"

Nandani muttered and she kissed both of our foreheads.

"Get ready, both of you,"

She said to both of us and walked out of the chamber.

Nandani gave me a scared look and I looked back at her.

"God, Ruhani. I though we were dead,"

She said lying on the bed and then stood up immediately.

"Ohh, I shouldn't lay on the bed where my sister and her Sultan naked out yesternight,"

She teased me and I looked at her with big eyes.

But, I really had to thank her for what she did for me.

I walked closer to her and signalled a heart felt thank from the deep of my heart.

Well, a gesture of gratitude when someone does anything big or small for you is never a costly thing. One must secure a few moments of his life to thank all the people who contribute in your life to make you the person you really are.

"Don't thank my love. He needed to come,"

She said and we both hugged each other.

"Okay, I need to go now to get ready. As we are also starting our journey back to home today. And, as you know it will take sure shot a month. We should leave as soon as possible,"

I nodded understanding her words as she was away from her home and it would count as three month altogether from start to end. Her parents and family must be missing their lively daughter very much.

But, I would really miss her and I signalled her the same.

She brought me for another hug and patted my back slowly.

"I will miss you too, Ruhani. And, take care of you. Also, I just want to tell you one more thing,"

She said and we both released our hug.

She held my hands and looked into my eyes.

I held my breathe for something serious and I did came like it.

"Ruhani, you are the person full of emotions. Your life precisely revolves around spreading love and happiness only. But, it's quite not the same motive of others in the life. People around you might have some different goals like to get a powerful position, recognition, or maybe their emotional goals will be different. For you it's love but for others it might be power, Sultanates, battles or something else. And, for that you must need to understand self love and care. I have always seen you loving everyone but you. Ruhani, look, life is not certain. Anything can happen in your life. You must not depend your happiness on others. I hope you understanding me,"

She said and I processed all her words calmly. I nodded at the end and honestly half of the things really flew off my mind as I had Sultan's letter to read. He just sent me a letter.

"Okay, I should go now,"

She said and I nodded smiling widely.

She left the chamber and I finally opened the letter again.

The words felt so beautifully written that I couldn't help but blush.

Assalamualaikum Meharbaan,

Ye paigham ko padhne ka hak sirf hamari Begum Ruhani ka hai. Agar kisi or ko mila hai to un tak pohucha de.

Pandrah din ho chuke hai aapki rukhsati ko. Esa nahi hai ki hum se raha nahi jaa raha lekin ab sahi me nahi raha ja raha.

Roz uthke bass ye sochte hai ki ek din or bass ek din or. Aapke jaane se yu to fark nahi padhna chahiye tha lekin pad raha hai. Kya kare...

Ye Aashiq jo ab tak sirf ek Sultan tha ab shauhar hone ka sach mehsoos kar raha hai.

Neend to aapko pata hai, hume aati nahi magar ek khwab jaroor hamare khayalo me dastak deta hai.

'Ki ek me hu or ek tu ho,
Khamoshi ho or baate ho,
Shamma ho or raat ho,
Or in doobti raaho me bas ek tera saath ho'

Ye jo hasi aapke chehre par ab aa gayi hogi, hume ummed hai ab aapko apne Shauhar ki yaad aa bhi gayi hogi!

Thik hai, Ab jaroori baat ye hai ki hume kaam ke silsile me ek hafte ke liye bahar jana hai to hum chahte hai jaane se pehle aapse milkar jae.

To hamari jaan, jaldi wapis aaye!

Aapka Aashiq,
Sultan Aashiq Khan,

"Assalamualaikum Meharbaan,

Only my wife Ruhani has the right to read this letter. If by any chance anyone else has found this letter. Please pass on to her only.

It's been fifteen days since you left. It's not like I am not able to live without you but honestly now I am not really able to.

Waking up everyday I just remind myself that one more day, only one more. I must not have felt this way with this separation. But I felt this way only. What to do...

This Aashiq who was just a Sultan till now is becoming more of a husband these days.

And, about sleep you know everything. But there is a thought that pings me often.

That it's should me and only you,

There should be silence and talks,

There should be light and nights,

And in this falling life, there must be you here,

I hope the smile that just showed up on your face have made you realise that you have a husband here.

Now, the important thing is that, that I have to leave for some work for a week. And, before going I just wants to you.

So, my love, come back soon.

Your Aashiq,
Sultan Aashiq Khan"

The letter brought a wide smile on my face. And, i just couldn't help but thought about leaving soon.

I just wanted to meet him too before he leaves.

I rolled the back immediately and fastened my steps to clean the chamber first and then to clean myself.

I chose a fresh cream coloured attire and retired for a bath.

After getting ready, I get to know that my father was home now.

I decided to meet everyone and bid goodbyes.

I was excited to meet him but equally sad as didn't know when would I get this chance of seeing my family again.
