Aarohi's POV :
My eyes flatter open as I took in the view of the ceiling.
I felt numb in my lower abdomen and memories from yesterday crashed back in my mind making me smile. It was the best night I have ever had. It was the most unforgettable night for me.
I looked beside myself and frowned when I didn't find Ansh beside me. I looked around the room and saw his back as he was standing on the balcony.
He was talking on the phone with his back facing me. He was only wearing his sweatpants hanging low on his waist giving the perfect view of his tattooed back.
I observed his tattoos and I could make out an eagle with its open wings and a snake wrapped around it.
I slowly stand up trying to not to make a sound and walked towards him ignoring the pain in my abdomen.
As I walked closer to him I hugged him from behind while smiling but my smile turned into cough when I smell smoke.
He quickly retreated from me and threw away the cigarette he was smoking.
Cigarette? I never knew he smokes? I really don't know much about him..
He rubbed my back and asked worriedly "Are you ok?"
I stopped coughing by now and asked "You smoke?"
He sighed and replied "Sometimes.."
I argued "It's hazardous to health."
He smirked and said "Ok my dear wife,Moreover I don't smoke much as I am not addicted to it, fine with you?"
I nodded and hugged him mumbling "I am just worried about you."
He hugged me back and whispered back "I know, jaan."
I was gathering my courage to confess. Is it the right time? Should I say it? It's just three words... I Love You.. but it is still so hard to say.
I said "I.. wanted to say something.."
He looked at me and asked "What, sweatheart?"
I gulped and opened my mouth to confess but nothing came out. Why couldn't I speak? I felt so embarrassed.
He looked concerned and asked "Is it still hurting?"
"Huh?"
I understood what he was saying when he placed his hand on my lower abdomen.
"Sweatheart, You were saying?"
"Huh? Yeah!! I was just about to say this nothing else.. You were rough last night."
He chuckled and kissed my pout then said "It was just a warm up, jaan."
He said trying to tease me to which I glared at him. He chuckled and took me back to the bed and bring me some painkillers to help me relax.
________________________
A week and a half went in a blink of the eyes and everything was so dreamy for me. Everyone treats me well and I felt like I am a part of this family since day one.
The wedding came with so many rituals too and we did everything like a normal couple this time.
My parents also went back to jodhpur and I also started my college soon after. Vayansh drives me daily and even comes to took me back home, it's not like I am complaining. It feels good having someone at your back.
No one at the college knows about my marriage with their Crown Prince and I am good to keep it that way. I don't want unnecessary attention.
Even though it is hard to manage in the start as I came in the mid of the semester but I will manage, I think.
Media and news channels still don't have any information regarding the wife of the crown prince, they just knows he is a married man now.
My thoughts of the chain broke when Papa asked ansh "Vayansh what have you thought about that?"
I curiously looked at them but didn't interfere. Maybe they are talking about some business..
Vayansh simply replied "I am not going there."
Now I am more curious. Where he have to go?
Papa sighed and said "It can't be delayed anymore Vayansh. You have already delayed it too much when we had to go just after your marriage. You know how the villagers are, right?"
Just after the wedding? We? Where we had to go?
Vayansh rubbed his forehead and said "Then delay it more. Aarohi is not ready yet."
Me? Now they are talking about me? I am not ready? But for what?
I asked "Where we had to go, Ansh?"
He looked at me then sighed and just shake his head making me frown.
Why is he not telling me?
I grabbed his sleeves and shake him a little to answer my question. He thought for a second then said "We had to go to our traditional village for our ceremony."
I confusedly asked "Which ceremony?"
I saw him tense a little then he said "The coronation ceremony, our coronation of being the king and queen of jaisalmer which will soon be followed by being the king and queen of Rajasthan."
I tensed, how can I.....? Will I really be a queen? I never really thought about it before.
Papa said "Beta, it was to be held soon after Vayansh got married but we all knew you were not well adjusted at that time but now you both even get married again and this news also reached the village so they wants the ceremony to be held now."
I gulped thinking about all that.
I asked "Is it... important now?"
I was really concern about this. Ansh answered instead "It will happen eventually but it will only happen when you are ready, jaan."
I smiled at him but when I looked at papa he looked a little bit concerned about that.
Is it so necessary? I shouldn't just think about myself. I gulped and asked "So can't we just held your coronation?"
Papa sighed and Ansh answered "We won't jaan, We are going to do this together."
I looked at my plate and mumbled "I will think about it. When will be the ceremony?"
Papa replied "It was scheduled within two days by the priest of the village."
This early? But I still nodded and we had our breakfast after that.
Ansh even told me I don't have to force myself into anything but I don't want to disappoint everyone else.
I talk to Papa and he told me that I don't have to carry on any duties immediately. This ceremony is to tell the world who is the king and queen of the Jaisalmer. It is also the initiative to reveal me to the world slowly by starting with their village.
I was nervous but I agreed to do this coronation ceremony. I will eventually have to do this so why not now? I will do my best to meet everyone's expectations.
So at the dinner table I announced "I am ready. We should go to the village."
I heard Ansh left his spoon on the plate which made a sound to gain my and everyone else attention. He said "You don't have to do this, jaan."
I shake my head and smiled at him saying "It will eventually happen and I trust you. You are here for me, right?"
He grabbed my hands and said "Always."
I smiled at him and reassured him "So I am ready for this because you will always help me."
His face soften and he announced "Tomorrow we will head to Ratanwas."
Ratanwas.. It is the village name.. sounds like a..... Village?
After we went to our room Ansh grabbed on my waist making me stumble back to his chest.
He snuggled his face into my neck and mumbled "Let me hold my wife for a little while."
I chuckled and and put my hands on his which were around my waist.
I curiously asked "how is Ratanwas?"
Suddenly he turned serious and turned me around to face him and answered "Ratanwas is our traditional village since ages. Let me warn you jaan, it's still very traditional and conservative so we would have to act accordingly. That is the main reason I was refusing for you to go there. You can still refuse, I will cancel everything."
I shake my head and said "It's ok, Ansh. I can manage for a few days. Tell me more about it."
He sighed and cupped my cheeks "I won't let any harm come your way, sweatheart. Always remember that."
I nodded and he continued "Ratanwas which itself means the village of nobility. People there have conservative mind set so mostly we don't prefer to go there and mostly Kashvi, she hates going there because she can't wear whatever she wants there, she can't speak however she wants there as I said it is a very conservative place."
I said "It's ok, Ansh. They never got that environment to evolve their mindset. It's ok, I will be fine."
He was still concerned so he asked "That also means they follow patriarchy system so you will be ok with that?"
Even though I don't like that at all but I can't change everyone's thought over night.
I wrapped my hands around his neck and moved closer to him and said "For now, yes. We will work on that later."
His grip tightened on my waist as he smirked and nodded. He slowly captured me in a passionate kiss and moved towards the bed making me giggle loudly.
I squirmed and said "Ansh, we have to wake up early tomorrow as we have to leave for Ratanwas. Not now."
I was about to stand up from the bed where he pushed me but he gripped my throat and pinned me to the bed again.
He mumbled on my lips "We will wake up early, jaan."
His lips grazing mine making my back arc and he smirked watching my reaction to his touch.
I giggled when he buried his face in my neck which tickle a lot.
Even though I should have refuse but my body said otherwise. I was too lost in him that I don't want to think about anything else.
His hand moved under my top making me breathless.
He slowly removed my bra from under the top torturing me with his slow pace. My mouth open in response to his touch.
I whispered "Ansh.."
He kissed me again observing my every sound.
We made love like never before..
It is always different from the last time making our moments more special for us. We crave for each other and our bodies moulds together perfectly like some puzzle pieces.
