Aarohi's POV :
I took out the box and saw a hanky in it. I opened it and took the hanky in my hand. It was... the same hanky which I wrapped around his palm when I first met him.
He has still kept it safely..?
I don't know how I should feel after knowing this. He told me earlier he married me because I am tolerable to him but still kept my hanky like an obsessed freak!
I shook my head and put the hanky back in its place then again started to find a locker. When I found one I kept the jewelleries there safely and made a mental note to ask Vayansh where to keep them.
After that I called my mother who was now getting angry at me and calling me back home. I somehow made some excuse that here transportation system is not working due to some strike so I am stuck here.
I know I made her worried but what else could I tell her why I am not back home. I will talk to Vayansh about this issue too.
____________________________
It was past the evening and it was only me and mumma at home right now.
Actually Kashvi is too busy with her store's opening ceremony preparation and Arnit went out with his friends. The rest of the men went to the company and Chachi had some work at the NGO so she went there.
Mumma and Chachi run many NGOs all around the world. Mumma also had to go but she stayed back because she didn't want to leave me alone here.
Suddenly an idea clicked in my mind and I thought this is the best opportunity for me to bring mumma and Vayansh closer.
Mission crack the nut step 1:
I called Vayansh which he picked up immediately and said in his godly deep voice "Missed me?"
I rolled my eyes and said "Yes, Mr. Husband. How about you come back home earlier today?"
He didn't say anything for a minute making me thought he hung up on me but he said "Where is this coming from suddenly?"
I asked "Nowhere. Are you coming early or not?"
I heard some paper shuffling sound than he said "It would be difficult today jaan."
Oh God! How would I succeed in my mission if he didn't came early so I whined a little "Please... Vayansh. You can come late tomorrow if you want but please come early today."
He chuckled and agreed "Fine bachha. Stop whining. I will be back soon."
I did my triumph dance in my mind and hung up the phone.
After a while I got to know that mumma is in kitchen preparing the dinner so I texted Vayansh that I am in kitchen.
Meanwhile I called a servant and informed her to vacant the kitchen of every chef making some excuse to mumma.
She was worried but complied to it and soon mumma was alone in the kitchen.
I heard the opening of the main door so I quickly hide behind a wall near the kitchen area so I could see and hear them.
I saw Vayansh walked to the kitchen making me grin widely. As he entered mumma turned around who was busy cutting the vegetables.
She smiled brightly seeing Vayansh and asked "Do you need anything Vayansh?"
He arrogantly looked around probably searching for me there than simply said "No" and turned around to leave.
Bastard! Such a jerk! He could have at least asked about me to her!
I sighed in disappointment and as Vayansh moved out of the kitchen I heard Mumma's voice "Ahh"
I was about to run towards her but I noticed Vayansh stopped in his track. He was confused whether to go to her or not I could practically see that on his face.
I mumbled to myself "Come on Vayansh. Go! You can do it!"
I almost shouted but stopped myself by covering my mouth with my hands when I saw him turned around.
The kitchen is modern designed open kitchen so he can see the inside. He saw mumma was gripping her hand as blood was flowing from her finger.
She was probably lost in Vayansh that she didn't paid attention to the knife in her hand.
I saw Vayansh go back in the kitchen and offered her his hanky without saying anything.
Then he said "Wash your finger with water and press it with the hanky."
She looked at him happily and said "I am fine, Vayansh. It's nothing."
As she was about to turn he grabbed her hand forcefully and put her finger below the tap. He washed her finger than put the hanky on her finger firmly.
Then he proved which I already knew that he cares.
Mumma was only looking at him and he asked "Where are all the chefs? MRS. SHARMA!"
I gulped when he shouted to call the head of the staff.
I saw Mrs. Sharma running to the kitchen with a pale face and before he could ask anything about the chef I quickly run to the kitchen.
I smiled and said "Oh Vayansh. You are back!"
He looked at me and I looked at mumma and pretend to be shocked "Mumma? What happened to your hand?"
She said dismissing it "It's nothing Aarohi. I am fine."
Before Vayansh could say anything to Mrs. Sharma I again said "Oh, Mother and son's love. So cool! See mumma, Vayansh can't see you in pain."
I grinned widely and wiggled my eyebrows at Vayansh teasing him to which he rolled his eyes and left from the kitchen. I sighed in relief and smiled triumphly.
I told mumma to rest and Mrs. Sharma to call all the chefs again to cook and moved to my room to see Vayansh.
__________________________
In the next two days I have tried to do everything that could make mumma and Vayansh talk but I was unsuccessful.
I made mumma serve Vayansh, asked her to give his file to him, hell I even locked them in our room after I called mumma in the room and Vayansh was already there but he ruined everything. He had some spare keys so he opened the door without even talking to her.
I think Vayansh knows I am doing this on purpose but he didn't say anything to me yet so maybe he let it pass or maybe he didn't notice and I am being too paranoid.
Today is the day the press conference is being held and Vayansh and papa were supposed to go but I told papa to take mumma too as she will support me there. Vayansh even argued with me about that but I somehow made him agree.
So right now I am sitting in the living room with Chachi and Arnit looking at the tv where the press conference is live.
I saw Vayansh enter with mumma and papa.
I heard Arnit say "Perfect! King, Queen and the Crown Prince."
They really look like a perfect family, only if Vayansh accepts them but I know if he doesn't like them then there must be a huge reason behind it.
My chain of thoughts broke when I heard Vayansh declared like a prince he is "My dear fellow people, I, Vayansh Singh Rathore, the crown Prince of jaisalmer, declares that I got married a few weeks ago also I would appreciate if all of you stop spreading any rumours about me and Vanya being together. The girl I married is not Vanya."
He had already made some introduction and then he dropped this bomb which shocked each and every people represent there which were mostly the reporters.
The reporters bombed him with many questions as it was a huge news to them and Vayansh answered them professionally even papa and mumma helped him in answering the questions.
A reporter asked him "Why didn't you bring Mrs. Rathore to the conference, kuwar sa? Everyone wants to meet the future queen."
Mrs. Rathore....
Future Queen....
He replied "My wife and your queen needs some time before she meets everyone."
My heartbeat increased as I looked at his charming face.
Another reporter asked "Who is she, VSR? A princess? A model? Or a businesswoman? Tell us something about her. Is she more beautiful, more capable than Vanya Shekhawat?"
I am...... Nobody. Not a princess. Not a model. Not a businesswoman..
I was feeling so timid right now but Chachi pressed my shoulder indicating me to not think anything bad.
I again looked at the tv when Vayansh said "She is the most beautiful girl I have ever seen. She is the most capable woman to be my wife and your queen. She is not a princess but a queen, my queen. Soon she will shine the brightest among all the stars."
I felt tears well up in my eyes hearing him. He trusts me so much and think of me so highly maybe I don't even deserve so much.
I quickly wiped my tears before Chachi or Arnit could see it.
Soon after that Vayansh left the conference hall with mumma and papa and as soon as he came home I hugged him tightly. After a while he left for his office again.
At Night, We were having our dinner and I was serving but as I moved towards Vayansh to serve I made an excuse that I forgot something in kitchen and asked mumma to serve him.
I will make everything right between them.
When I came back I didn't see Vayansh there so I asked "Where is Vayansh?"
Chachi replied "He said he is not hungry."
She tried to give me a smile but failed and I frowned confusedly but as I looked at mumma I realised what really happened.
I was about to go back to our room to talk to Vayansh. He can't behave like this, but mumma stopped me "Have your dinner first Aarohi."
I mumbled "I am not hungry" and walked to the room.
As I opened the door I saw Vayansh looking outside from the balcony.
I asked "What was that Vayansh? Have your dinner."
He came back to the room and said so coldly that his voice sent shivers in my body "I know what you are trying to do Aarohi. Don't."
I gulped nervously but covering it I asked "Why? Why shouldn't I do this? Why are you like this Vayansh? I know you care than why are you so closed up to everyone?"
I couldn't hide it anymore, I wanted to know the reason why is he like this. Why does he thinks no one is worthy of his attention when everyone seems to love him so much.
His face turned more cold as if he has created a wall around himself which he doesn't want anyone to crack. He lets me near him but now I realised his wall still stands high in front of me.
He coldly said "You don't need to know just know that you won't try to do anything again. I didn't said anything before because I thought you would leave the matter after a while but I was wrong."
I also replied with the same intensity "Yes! You are wrong! I won't stop until you tell me the reason."
I soften my face and grabbed his hand than again continued "Please Vayansh, Let me in. We will only be able to succeed this marriage if you let me in, if you will tell me what is hurting you. Didn't I opened up to you? told you something which I never told anyone? Why? Because I trust you. Don't you trust me?"
I saw him looking straight into my soul. As if he is searching something than he started speaking....
