Aarohi's POV :
My eyes widened hearing him. I think I didn't heard him right so I asked "What?"
He again repeat the same damn sentence seriously "Marry me, Aarohi."
"What are you saying?" I asked before I could think about anything.
He said "I am telling you to marry me, Aarohi. Don't make me repeat again and again. I am not a very patient man."
What the hell is he even saying? I can't believe him. I was here so angry at him that he never came to meet me in these five days, didn't even leave a message and here he is proposing me to marry him?
I asked "Are you drunk?" As this could be the only explanation of what he is saying.
He said with his still hard tone "What? No, Aarohi."
Than my anger explode, I started shouting at him "WHAT DO YOU EVEN THINK OF YOURSELF? You suddenly left without even a message. I was here going crazy thinking of the possibilities that maybe you don't want me around anymore and God knows what. You didn't even think about saying a proper goodbye. Well why would you? WHY WOULD YOU WHEN YOU DIDN'T EVEN THINK OF ME WORTHY OF IT? Here I was stupid who told you everything about myself and you.... You didn't even tell me your name VAYANSH SINGH RATHORE or should I call you Kuwar sa?"
I started panting while tears fall down from my eyes.
He stepped closer to grab me but I moved away.
I instead said "Don't you dare touch me. I never want to see you again so go away from here far away from me."
Hearing me his face twisted in anger and he crossed the distance between us in just two steps.
He grabbed me by my arms tightly making me wince. It did made him loosen his grip slightly but he didn't leave me.
He said angrily "You are angry at me. Fine. You can accuse me or shout at me however you want but don't you dare.... Don't you dare to again say that you don't want to see me, Aarohi."
His face was so close to me that I can smell his rich sandalwood perfume.
We both were breathing heavily, he was panting from anger and something else I can't pin point and me from anger and crying.
I came in my senses and struggled to free myself from his grip.
I said while gritting my teeth "I don't want you near me. Leave me."
He angrily shouted making me flinch "AAROHI"
Seeing me flinching like that his eyes soften a bit and he closed his eyes and said softly after a moment "I.. am....
Don't say that again Aarohi otherwise I also don't know for how long I can control myself."
I thought he was going to apologise or maybe he was but his ego stopped him.
Tears started to fill in my eyes as I realised he is not like I thought he was.
Was that man all fake?
Is this his real face?
Seeing tears in my eyes, he cupped my face and said gently this time "Try to understand, Aarohi. I didn't tell you anything because I never felt the need to. I feel so relaxed around you that I myself sometimes forgot that I am the prince of Jaisalmer."
I said with tears in my eyes "But you could have told me when I asked about your work place."
He sighed and said still cupping my face "I thought maybe you will view me differently than.. that's why.
More tears welled up in my eyes as I said "You thought that I will pasture you in getting the job at your company, right?"
He immediately shake his head and said so gently that my anger almost vanished "No, Jaan. I can never think about something like that about you."
I again asked in a low voice "Why didn't you tell me that you are getting married?"
I almost forgot the first sentence he asked me, No .....told me. Why did he said that?
He left my face and took a hold of both of my hands and said "Because I didn't wanted that marriage myself. So what's the point of telling you about that when I myself was finding ways out of it."
I frowned and asked concernly "Are you being forced to marry?"
He pressed my hands and said "I already break the wedding."
I was shocked by what he said and asked shockingly "What? It was already all over the news channels that you are getting married. Did your family agreed?"
He nodded and said "That's why I am here, Aarohi. I want you to marry me."
I was looking at him like he has grown two heads. I chuckled and said "You are joking, Right?"
When I saw his expressions were dead serious my smile vanished and dread settle in my stomach.
I asked "Are you serious?"
When he nodded I stepped away from him like I will catch fire if I stay near him for a second.
I angrily asked "You think this is a joke? When you like it you agreed to marry someone else, when you like you forget me like I never existed before, when you like you broke your wedding and come to me? And now you are even proposing to marry me? Have you lost it?"
He stepped closer making me move away. His nerve flexed in his jaw in anger but he stopped and didn't take another step closer.
He said "I always do what I have to do. That time it was right to marry someone else but now when I realised that... When I realised something now it is right to marry you only."
"What did you realise now?" I asked feeling something warm in my stomach.
He said with no expressions on his face "That I want to marry you. You are the only person to whom I have talked this much. I don't find anyone else as much tolerable as tolerating them for more than an hour."
The warmth from my stomach suddenly vanished as I asked feeling hurt "You want to marry me because I am tolerable to you? Because you can bear with me being around you?"
He slipped his hands in his pocket than said "You can say that. Also I don't know why but I finds you fascinating."
I angrily said "You don't marry one who you finds fascinating but the one whom do you love, Vayansh."
He raised his eyebrow and said "Love? I don't do that. Do you really believe in all that, Aarohi?"
I angrily shouted "YES, I DO. And I will always believe in love."
He chuckled and said "You are really a child. Ok, If you want that than Let's say it's a love marriage."
I frowned and said "Neither do I love you nor do you and moreover I am not going to marry you."
I know I started to feel something for him but I can't name that feeling love but now I am sure I don't love him and never will.
His eyes darkened hearing me and he said firmly "You will marry me, Aarohi and that's final. I never takes no for an answer."
My eyes widened as I asked "Do you think marriage is a game? It is the purest bond in the world, Vayansh. And you can't force me to marry you."
He snarled at me and ordered "We will get married, Aarohi. And there is no way to stop me."
I angrily said "We have just met a few times for god's sake, Vayansh. How can you come to that conclusion by yourself. Have you asked your parents? Did I talk to my parents? Hell, Even I am not ready to marry you."
He again said in his emotionless tone which almost sounds like a robot "Firstly, We are going to marry so neither mine nor your parents' permission is required. Secondly, Why you don't want to marry me? Are you still angry thinking I ghosted you? Then we can make up for that after marriage. We will have plenty of time to do so."
I said almost disgustingly "You think I am angry about that? How did you think I would react when you order me to marry you like my decision don't even matter."
He simply said "You don't have any reason to reject my proposal. I have everything a girl could ever want. I can give you anything and everything you want. You won't only get money and respect but power too over the whole Jaisalmer and even beyond that."
I thought all wrong about him. He is not like how he portrayed to me in those three days.
His real face is this and why not, these rich people are like this. They think their money can buy them anything or anyone they want.
I said firmly "I have a reason to reject your proposal and the reason is I don't want to marry you and that reason is enough for me to reject your proposal."
His face twitched in anger as he said "Don't force me to do something I don't want to do,Aarohi."
What?
He is angry at me?
For what?
That I rejected him.
When he didn't even asked me properly.
I angrily said "Just because you are the prince of jaisalmer doesn't gives you the right to order around everyone like you owns them. You are a psycho, treat yourself and leave me alone."
Saying this I angrily walked away from there. I merely took two or three steps when a sudden pull on my right arm pulled me back making me crash in his hard chest.
He said darkly "I thought I would do this normally but I don't think you want normal. If you want me to force you than it's ok. I initially decided that we will get married in a week but seeing your attitude, I don't think I am seeing any reasons to marry you later."
I struggle to free myself from his grip and said mockingly "I am the one who is showing the attitude? Or you are the one who is being a total jerk."
He hissed at me "Don't call me names because I don't react well to anyone calling me names."
"Than leave me, you jerk." I was too angry to listen to him.
His grip tightened on my hand making me flinched. It will definitely leave a mark.
He suddenly said "I didn't wanted to be harsh on you but you forced me. Now, We will get married today and that too right now."
