Author's POV:
Vayansh was gone to look around the condition of the village but when he returned and saw Aarohi talking to Daksh, his enemy, he got so angry that he only thought about taking Aarohi away from the evil man.
It's not that he is not evil himself but Daksh could attempt something to hurt her, not physically of course as he is not capable enough to do that but he could hurt her emotionally by telling her things Vayansh doesn't want her to find out.
Daksh is not on the level of Vayansh and he knows it but still tries to create trouble for Vayansh as he is jealous of him.
The position of being the king of Rajasthan would have gone to Daksh if Vayansh never existed in the first place and that's why he wants to take Vayansh down so bad but he never had that much strength to do that.
Daksh smirked while going back to the guest house as he finally found the only weakness of VSR.
Here Vayansh was not in his right mind as he was getting blind in anger but deep down it was mixed with fear. He was afraid that Daksh might have told her something that would turn her against him.
He never told her his other identity and never ever wanted her to find out that way. He has never felt this type of fear ever in his entire life. Hell, he was only scared this much once and that was when he lost his mother.
He won't lose the most important person of his life again.
Aarohi was shocked that he has shouted at her like this for such a small reason.
She flinched at his tone getting scared a little and Vayansh saw that fear in her eyes which he never wanted to witness.
She tried to reason out with him "Ansh.. Calm down. Why are you so angry?"
As her worried voice registered in his brain he closed his eyes trying to calm his nerves down.
As he opened his eyes, his eyes were neutral as if he was not feeling anything but deep down he was feeling so many emotions which he never left before.
This time he asked calmly "Why are you here alone? Why were you talking to him?"
She replied "I was just looking at the haweli when he came to talk to me. I swear I never wanted to talk to him moreover he was just spitting nonsense."
He looked deep into her eyes and asked "What nonsense?"
She rolled her eyes and said "That you are a bad person and nonsense like this."
He tensed from inside but didn't showed anything on his face.
He coldly said "Go and get ready, Aarohi and don't roam around alone again."
As he left her arm she asked "Why are you acting like this?"
He simply said while running his hand through his hair "It's Nothing."
She raised her eyebrow and said "But you sounds angry. I am sorry Ansh that I didn't listen to you."
His anger again resurfaced as he said "Oh! So you know what you did?"
As he saw her flinch at his outburst he said "Leave Aarohi."
He doesn't want to take his anger out on her as he is not angry because of her.
He can never!
He is angry at that motherfucker Daksh Pratap Singh.
She wanted to argue but she thought it would be good to talk to him when his anger calmed down so she left silently leaving Vayansh to battle with his own mind.
Vayansh ran his hand through his hair and mumbled "Fuck."
He wants to tell everything to her about his other identity himself. He don't wants that she finds that out through some jealous fucker.
He will soon reveal everything to her but firstly he has to make sure that she won't take that information negatively because he will never be able to bear it if it creates any problems in their relationship.
He got angry when he saw Aarohi talking to Daksh and he is still angry and has to calm himself.
On the other side as Aarohi reached her room she saw a few women in her room and they bowed when they saw her. She is still not used to people treating her like she is someone special... Some royalty.
She immediately told them not to bow before her and asked "Why are you all here?"
A woman answered her question "We are here to help you get ready for the ceremony mam."
She surprisedly asked "This many? No need for that just 1 or 2 staff members are more than enough."
They looked at each other and the same one answered "Sorry mam but we all will be needing here."
Aarohi didn't argue and they started to set things up while she took a quick shower.
After that they helped Aarohi getting ready and she was already feeling exhausted when they were done. She don't even remember how many things they have done including facial and all.
She was constantly thinking about Vayansh the whole time. She thought 'I hope he is not angry at me anymore. What should I do if he is still angry at me?'
'But why was he so angry?'
'He was acting like a jerk!'
Two more women came after a while and took her towards the hall where the ceremony is going on.
Before Aarohi entered she put her all thoughts away and took a deep breath trying to ignore the butterflies in her stomach due to some much nervousness she was feeling right now.
As she entered she saw the lavish hall with so many people inside it.
The fact that they all are important people of the world holding so much power in themselves makes her more nervous.
She looked around then her eyes stopped on the throne places on the high stage where Vayansh was sitting looking at her intensely.
No one can interpret the look Vayansh held while looking at Aarohi.
The moment she entered the hall his eyes landed on her drinking her beautiful existence. Everything else faded away when he looked at her.
He could only see her in the beautiful red lehenga looking drop dead gorgeous.
She is the most beautiful woman in this world for him.
Kashvi came to help Aarohi and walked her to the stage and Vayansh came to help her up on the stairs.
He forwarded his hand which she took gladly and climb on the stage with Vayansh holding her lehenga with his other hand.
Kashvi smiled watching this and left Aarohi to Vayansh.
They both reached the stage and Vayansh pulled out a bundle of notes from his pocket and circled them around her head taking all the evil eyes away from her.
Aarohi felt emotional seeing him doing this for her.
He forwarded the cash to someone and said "Distribute them among poors."
He again looked at Aarohi and said loudly for everyone to hear "No Evil Eyes At My Queen."
He took her hand and they sat on the throne meant for the future king and queen.
Vayansh whispered to her "You are looking breath takingly beautiful, my Queen."
She blushed and replied "You are looking handsome yourself, my king."
She asked "You are not angry at me anymore?"
He shake his head and said "I was never angry at you Jaan."
"You were still acting like a jerk."
"My apologies, My Queen."
After a while the ceremony started with both of them sitting at the hawan kund which was placed in the middle of the hall. The priest started the Mantras and the ceremony went on.
After the rituals they again went on the stage and the current king and queen of Jaisalmer Mahendra Singh Rathore and Meenakshi Singh Rathore came on the stage and Mahendra took the crown of the king from the crown case and put it on the head of Vayansh then he forwarded the sword to him with a proud face.
He said "I am proud of you, son." To which Vayansh just nodded.
Everyone applauded then Vayansh pushed the veil away from Aarohi's forehead and pulled the sword out of the case and cut his thumb then applied his blood as sindoor on her hairline as per the ritual.
Aarohi gasped feeling many emotions at a time. She didn't knew about this ritual before and even Vayansh didn't tell her about this which was why she was so shocked and overwhelmed.
Before she could recover Meenakshi gave the crown of the queen to Vayansh who made Aarohi wear it.
As the rituals ended everyone congratulated them then they walked to the balcony of the haweli and Aarohi was surprised when she saw so many people standing outside waiting for them to come out and show them the king and queen of Jaisalmer.
She looked at Vayansh feeling nervous now and saw Vayansh had a determined face devoid of any emotions but when he felt her gaze on his face he looked at her and his eyes soften a bit.
He blinked his eyes assuring her that he is here with her.
She nodded and they walked to the front. The crowd started to shout and cheer for them, hailing Kuwar sa ki jai, Raja sa or Rani sa ki jai, Rajasthan ki jai and so on...
Vayansh forwarded his hand signing them to stop and the crowd turned too silent which surprised Aarohi to some extent.
Vayansh started to speak "My fellow people, I, Vayansh Singh Rathore, The king of Jaisalmer promise you to serve you rightfully with my queen, Aarohi Vayansh Singh Rathore ruling beside me. We both will look after your needs and care for everyone."
Vayansh gave his speech which everyone listened to very carefully then he looked at Aarohi and asked "Would you like to say anything, my queen?"
She gulped nervously and asked "Me?"
He nodded and urged her to say whatever she wanted to which she nodded and turned towards everyone.
She was scared but she still said "Khamma Ghani, Once I was an ordinary girl, unseen and unheard. Today I wear this crown, not as a symbol of power, but of resilience. I accept this throne with grace, courage, and the promise to serve-not as a queen above my people, but as a voice among them. I know you are doubting me now but I will proof you that I am worthy of being your queen. I will always stand beside you with my husband, my king."
Aarohi's heart was beating so fast by now. She didn't know what she said just now. She didn't know where she got this confidence but when she looked at Vayansh she knew she didn't say anything wrong.
He was smiling.... As in a real smile. She thought 'I can count on my fingers how many times I have seen him smiling and I felt lucky every damn time.'
Her thoughts vanished and she looked ahead when she heard people shouting in happiness.
A man shouted "Bow before the King and Queen."
Everyone present there bowed and when Aarohi looked at Vayansh he bowed for her to which she instantly asked "What are you doing Ansh? Please don't."
He chuckled and said "My Queen deserves much more." He stand straight then kissed her forehead softly.
He again said with pride in his eyes "Never forget that tum mera Maan ho. My pride."
My eyes almost teared up with so much emotions I felt at that moment.
He said while facing the people "Look up, my fellow people."
After that they walked inside to the hall where the party was going on now after the ceremony.
