Sharmishta

Flash back

Shekhar proposed me in front of my father and his, only to feel their fury upon us, they scold us and shouted us, and hate spit in the hearts of the both nations. We tried to make them see our love but they couldn't. they said we were each other repels by nature, but we refused to believe, we wanted to prove them wrong.

We went to a place where the moon casted its glow upon us, we shared our second kiss with bless, but the more bless we share the more pain we felt, his ice as time passed burned me, and my fire hurt him, we pushed each other when we couldn’t hold the pain.

Our hands, faces, lips had burn marks and the pain was a lot, that was the moment we broke, knowing that our parents were right. I broke down and cry all night and shekhar hold me with barriers between trying to sooth me while he cries his bleeding heart. Our hearts bleed and we cried all night and by morning our marks faded but our hearts never mold.

Moment we went back to our nations we were forced to marry others from our kingdom, I hated every second of preparations until the wedding day, but as much as powerful I am I couldn’t stop anything, not even when my husband took me. I am the princess of fire, but in his hands I was as cold as ice. I never loved him, but I respected him like any wife would do, then I gave birth to ragini but in every step my life missed a part, missed him.

I knew he married the finest princess in ice nation, the most woman we both hated, princess jaanki devi, that day I knew I never spoke to a soul, not even my personal maid and only friend shobha, all day crying my heart for my love. And I swore I won't be weak again, my father was dead and husband not strong enough to lead so I did and I became the queen every one respected and feared, I still respected my husband and he was the outside king, but the real one was me, until the day of war.

Our war against the dark nation, I didn’t sit back like normal princesses or queens, I was the first of my people to fight side by side with my husband, brother in law, sister, and our general shamsher malik. Darkness kingdom wanted to take over the other kingdoms, so we stand to fight.

In that war I saw shekhar after so long, we meet in secret and poured all our love as we can, the logging was so much to hold, we found the truth our parents hide, that our powers can be trained, that we could have married, that we could have weld the power that hurt us and be together, but they hide the truth and left us to suffer the rest of our life, now we belong to others and no way to be together.

In that war I lost my husband, my sister and her husband and many of the people, but before each nation be seated in its place, me and shekhar swore that what happen to us will never happen again no matter what. And no matter it cost.

Each went back as ruler of its nation, molding our wounds, free from our prisoners and head with the dream we had together, no lovers from both nations will suffer again. The real reason behind the enmity between nations never went out, all connections with ice nation was cut, but from him.

Every couple of years he would come to me, to my family and no one dare to speak a word about him, that much of rule I had, his visits remained inside the walls of my castle and any one dare to speak about paid his life for it. He got to know ragini but due to the pain she had from losing her father she never let him in, then came swara and she was his joy as he was hers.

Flash back ends

"I hate your thoughts when they take you from me"

"hmm nothing in the world take me from you, it's just our old memories, remember our dances"

"and our love…."

He picked my lips again and I tried to maintain my powers as I drawn myself in his warm lovely touch.

Swara

"princess, why your eyes are so lost" said methaly as she brushed my hairs getting ready for dinner.

"I don't know methaly, my heart isn't at ease, and my mind fills of thoughts…. I can't even describe my feelings…urrrgh"

"ease your mind princess, you are usually happy all the time when king shekhar is here"

I removed her hand away

"well he didn’t come alone right, came with that arrogant son of his, urrrghhhhh"

"I don’t understand why you so much defensive to the prince, he seem nice"

"nice … yea right, lets go, I don’t want to be late"

I reach the dining table soon and uncle shekhar was there and his arrogant ice boy

"uncle shekhar" I ran to him giving him warm hug

"princess, did I told you that you became more beautiful than the last time I saw you"

I flipped my hairs and smilled "you tell me that every time you come uncle"

"did I say you grow taller too?? Look at you, when you become this height"

"perhaps she have stretch power" and here is that ice sanskar prince talks, how I wish to burn him.

"actually I can think of something or two I can stretch prince"

"as??"

I came closer to him barly whispering in his ears "my fire glowing fist in you pretty pale icy face for example"

He looked at me shocked and anger shoots out his eyes, and I think it glow blue, if I didn’t like him that much I would have loved his eyes, I felt cold radiating of him and then voice cut all this

"heyyyy her highness queen sharmeshta entering the room"

My mom came in with ragini behind and nikil and shamsher malik, our general.

We seat as my mother in the head of the table and uncle shekhar on the other head, me and ragini on either sides of mother, nikil alone and princy ice in front of shamsher.

Uncle: nice to see you after so much nikil, you was on travel last time…

Nikil: I am afraid so, it was about time I go to my old palace and visit my parents grave…

Sadness spread over uncles face: I am so sorry,

Nikil: please don’t be…

Uncle: your father was agreat man.. you know sanskar his father saved my life several times through the war and his mother patched many of my wounds…

Nikil: I am glad they did…

Ragini: my father was brave one too, isn’t it mother?

Urrgh here is miss drama…

Mother coughed probably fake try to lighten the mode

Sharmeshta: I hope you enjoy your stay here prince sanskar, I have had my swara to show you the kingdom…

I try as much possible control my fire as my mom brought that topic again…. Nice, jusssssst nice

Sanskar

I almost spilled my food out, did she just said that this fire baanchi will show me kingdom… I cant, I swear I may kill this baanchi… I call her like that cause she shouts a lot….

(Baanchi is a creature who predect someones death and let out a very high scream when person dies)

I felt her going hotter by anger, see what I mean, ready to blast and I have only spend one day with her, that too for few time, how about spending hours with her, I will kill her I swear…

"actually mother, aadhyasha and I had some work to do, perhaps giving the honors to princess rigini…"

What??? Is she rejecting being with me?? I never felt so out side like I am now…

Sharmeshta: If I wanted princess ragini I would have told her swara, I want you to do it…

"if you allow me queen, I am sure I can enjoy the palace even more and if needed I am sure I can explore the country on my own"

"finally ice spoke with wise"

WHAT?? I heard her small whispered note…. Did she just mocked!!…. Fine baanchi lets play

"but I will be more delighted if the princess would accompany me, I am sure she knows the kingdom like the palm of her hand"

I almost hear a small growl coming from her, it seem I angered the little spoiled baanchi, good.
