Aarohi's POV :
I felt his arms wrapped around me possessively as he wished me. Finally.
I smiled and whispered "Happy One month anniversary."
He led me to the mattress spread on the floor and we sat there.
I was looking at the stars when I said "I never knew this mansion had such a separate room in the garden."
He was looking at me and said "It used to be my safe room when I was a kid. I used to come here to think or when I needed some space but I haven't been here since long now."
I felt a weird pain in my chest thinking about his younger self to be so alone.
I was looking at him when he took a box out of his pocket and give it to me. I grinned and asked "My gift?"
He chuckled and nodded so I excitedly opened it. I gasped in surprise when I saw the most beautiful payal in it. I took them in my hands and touched it.
He took them from my hands then grabbed my feet and put them on his lap. I was just looking at him feeling weird sensation in my whole body.
He caress my feet and gently made me wear the payal. My eyes widened and I quickly retreated my feet when he placed a gentle kiss on my feet after that.
I asked "What are you doing?"
He chuckled and kissed me on my already reddened cheek and whispered "Cute."
Then he took some papers from the table placed there and give them to me. I confusedly looked at him and he explained "You can start your college soon. I have already set up everything."
I was trying to digest this news when he dropped another one "I have one more gift for you."
I was still shocked and looked at him with tears in my eyes when he said "We are going to your parents' house tommorow."
Before I could say anything he said "Don't worry I will handle everything."
I suddenly hugged him tightly while tears fall from my eyes and said "I miss them so much."
He silently rubbed my back and then we spend our whole night while talking where he told me few things about his mother and his childhood, sometimes we kissed and then we slept there.

The next day I ignored every elder in the house after knowing what they did to Vayansh.
They shouldn't have left Vayansh like that and I can't believe papa and mumma were the main people who did that.
Mumma even asked me many times what happened but I didn't answered. It was so hard for me to ignore her when she is so sweet with me.
When I couldn't control I asked her "Why mumma? Why did you all this to Vayansh? Why did you all leave him alone when he needed you so much?"
She was shocked when she heard that and a tear escape from her eyes. She sat on the sofa and asked "So Vayansh told you everything?"
My eyes filled with tears when I saw her crying. I whispered "Why mumma?"
She shake her head and said while crying "I didn't mean to, Aarohi. His father and I used to love each other so much and when God gave us a second chance to marry we couldn't resist it. We tried so much but...."
I wiped my tears and asked "God gave you another chance? After how papa treated Vayansh's mother? You are saying this?"
She flinched when I said that and looked at me while tears were falling from her eyes.
I was glad that we are alone at home right now but we are still in the living room so anyone could come and see us.
She said "No Aarohi. You are getting it wrong. Your papa never treated Mrinalini wrong. He used to care about her but the thing was he never loved her. Please try to understand, put yourself in his position. How can you love another when you already love someone else? Mrinalini was depressed because she used to love Mahendra but he never did."
When I think about that Vayansh told me that he heard his maa said that he cares about her and when I think about it carefully she is right.
Papa didn't have any other option.
I asked "But he could have choose to marry you and leave his throne if he really loved you?"
She was trembling and answered "You think it's that easy to leave the throne? It would be easy if he was not already the Yuvraj. If he wanted to marry me then he had to leave the mansion for doing this and he never wanted to leave his family. He loves them so much."
I was shocked when I heard that, Oh God! How complicated were things?
I finally asked with my shaking lips "Why did you and he left Vayansh alone? He needed you both at that time."
Her tears were non stop falling and she took a deep breath and said "That's what we regret the most Aarohi. I know it's our fault that he became so distant to us. At that time we were so lost in the things that we failed to notice how much Vayansh needed us. Mahendra had to take over the business as it was already in so much loss. There were many problems with investors and all that he got too busy in that and I.... Vayansh was not ready to accept me yet. I tried initially but I thought maybe he needed some time but it was all my fault that I failed to recognise his needs. I am not giving any excuses here Aarohi but I was having so many medical issues at that time. It was all too messed up."
After hearing her I don't know if she and papa are at the fault. I mean, yes they are because they were too busy in themselves that they didn't notice Vayansh but they had their reasons and they are still guilty for that.
I know they both love Vayansh so much.
I heard footsteps approach long us and we both wiped our tears quickly and mumma said "I know it's too late now so Aarohi please take care of Vayansh for me."
Before I could say anything I heard Vayansh say "Jaan Are you ready?"
I turned and nodded, He frowned looking at me maybe sensing I was crying.
Mumma said "Have a safe journey." and left from there.
He approached me and asked "Are you ok?"
I smiled and nodded and said "I will miss everyone here."
He nodded in understanding and said "Give me half an hour I have some work here then we will go, Ok?"
I nodded and saw him walked away. I was still thinking about what mumma told me and when everyone came back they bid us farewell and I hugged everyone including mumma and whispered to her "We will make everything right."
She smiled at me and Me and Vayansh went to Jodhpur. I have already warned him to not to tell anyone that we are married to which he frowned but I somehow convinced him.
I made a plan to convince my family that I love him and wants to marry him. I know it will be hard but it would be easier than the truth.
Do I really love him? I don't know but I know that I trust him and I am ready to give him a chance. Maybe I also love him.
I smiled at the thought and looked at him who was driving with his one hand making him look more hotter than he already is.
Damn!! He is really handsome like a real prince. Oh! He is really a prince.
After the drive of few hours we finally reached Jodhpur. I was excited to meet my family but nervous too.
Seeing my shaking hand Vayansh puts his hand on mine and the mere gesture calms me down.
I rang the bell and my mom opened the door. It all happened in a flash her hugging me and calling my papa to come home. She asked me about Vayansh and I replied with 'I will explain everything'
Yug was so happy to see me and we all sat and talked a lot and suddenly the environment turned tense now that my papa is glaring at Vayansh and mumma was nervously sitting there. Yug was smirking, that damn bastard! I never knew he became so smart to understand all this.
I was looking down fiddling with my fingers and Vayansh sat beside me so confidently that it looked like he had done that many times.
I just told my parents that I love him and we wants to get married and they haven't said anything since then.
I have hid my mangalsutra underneath my top and my sindoor in my hair lines.
Papa sighed and said "Aaru, How can you do this, beta? You bought a man out of nowhere and wants to marry him now? We don't know anything about him. Marriages are not a joke, Aaru."
I wanted to cry right now, I never wanted to disappoint him but I couldn't control anything.
Yug was looking at Vayansh with great scrutiny and suddenly he gasped and shouted "PAPA!!"
Papa got worried and asked him "What happened Yug?"
He said with wide eyes while pointing a finger at Vayansh "HE.... HE IS THE PRINCE. The crown Prince. I have seen him on the tv."
Papa was surprised then said while laughing "It's not possible Yug. How could the prince come here, right Aaru?"
I gulped and Vayansh sat more comfortably not affected by anything.
Vayansh finally introduced himself "It is possible. I am Vayansh Singh Rathore, the crown Prince of jaisalmer and the CEO of Rathore co."
Mumma's eyes widened and I saw her looking at her phone then at Vayansh. She showed the phone to papa and said "It's true. It's the same person, look."
Papa was surprised then he cleared his throat and said "So what? We can't give our daughter to anyone like this. I don't agree to this marriage."
I bit my lips nervously and was about to speak when mumma said "I agree. Aaru, you have chosen a good man for yourself. Who don't know kuwar sa and how brilliant is he?"
I smiled but papa made a face in disagreement.
Yug suddenly said "Wait! I heard in a press conference that you are ma-"
To my relief Vayansh cut him off and said "Sweetheart, Take yug inside with you, I want to talk to your parents alone."
I confusedly looked at him and he nodded wanting me to comply so I stand up and took yug with me to my room.
I don't know what they are talking about now making me more anxious.
Yug teased me saying "You have trapped a big fish, di."
I hit him on his head and said "Stop talking nonsense and don't speak nonsense in front of mumma and papa."
After a while mumma knocked and she smiled at me when I opened the door and said "Come on, Let's have dinner."
I nervously asked "What happened mumma?"
She shake her head and walked out making me follow her anxiously.
Vayansh was still sitting there while smirking and I saw papa looking at me. He said "Let's have our dinner so he can leave now."
I finally asked "What happened?"
He answered "We will discuss about the marriage with the elders of Rathore family."
I grinned and hugged papa in excitement.
