Mayuri~ Faith on herself

21~ The Confession

Mayuri's POV

"Now, it's time for your punishment sweetheart~" I got goosebumps all over my body listening to him.

"What...?" I asked him unconsciously, realizing what I have just done in anger and jealousy.

"Yes, You deserve a punishment" I furrowed my eyebrows.

"You deserve a punishment for thinking of leaving me" He said and I looked at him in anger.

'First, he had an affair with that girl and now he is telling me to not even leave him!'

I slapped him harder and he looked sideward because of the effect. He touched his cheek and looked at me with confusion. I pushed him and stood up.

"How shameless you are!" I yelled at him.

"What?" He said in a slow voice.

"Yes! Having an affair with another girl and still telling me not to leave!" I finally broke out in tears.

"How could you do this to me?! And not even this, you are acting like you didn't do anything and being romantic with me, it hurts a lot!" I sat down while crying. He tried to touch my arm but I pushed him away.

"Don't touch me!" I said and wiped my tears. He sat down with me, I was about to stand up but he held my hand and made me sit still.

"Who Mayuri? With whom I had an affair?" He asked in a serious tone. I can even listen to his heartbeats, they were so fast.

"Dhairvi..." I said and looked into his eyes they became teary and he asked me in a slow voice.

"Why do you think that I had an affair with her?"

"First, on the day of muh dikhayi ceremony, I saw you hugging her. Ignoring that thing, I focused on our relationship as I don't want any fight or misunderstanding between us on the first day of our wedding.
After that also, on our wedding night I heard that you were telling her that she was everything to you and both of your foreheads were touching each other.
And at last, today you choose her, you know that I made kheer for you but still..." I said while tears were flowing from my eyes. I palmed my face while crying.

"You should- should have told me that you lo- love her, but you still choose to stay quiet! You shouldn't have marr- married me!" I said with a breaking voice. For a few minutes, there was silence in the chamber.

"Mayuri...I don't love her she is just my friend" He said and touched my back, patting it. I looked at him and he nodded.

"You misunderstood everything" he said, his eyes became red and tears flowed from his eyes too. I furrowed my eyebrows.

"On the first day you saw us hugging right, It was because she was congratulating me and on the wedding night, she was telling me how to propose to you and that also she didn't tell me by herself but I asked her. That's why we were in that position. And today, all the children decided that they will prank you and before you came, we all decided that Dhairvi will compete with you and I will say her name...but the real winner will always be you for me, whether it will be a game or of my heart" He said looking down. I realized what have I just done.

"You should have listened to my explanation first" He said and looked at me. I shivered a little bit because of how red his eyes became.

'I'm so dumb, what have I done?'

"Prince, I-" I was about to say but he stopped me by putting his index finger on my lips.

"I love you so much Mayuri..." He said and my heartbeat increased listening to his Confession. I don't know but there was a peace inside me now. The feeling was true, the emotions were true, from both of our sides. But I messed up everything.

"My love will always be for you, I'm yours, only you have the right on me. When I saw you the first time, I knew that you were for me. Somewhere, I saw a glimpse of my mother in you. The much I remember was her warmth and love for me. The comfort I feel around her was the same I feel around you" He continued and my heart feel broken now, I hurted him alot.

"I'm sorry" he whispered and stood up, he was about to walk away.

"Prince, please, don't say like that. I'm sorry" I hugged his leg, my whole body was trembling thinking of him leaving me.

"You are not mature enough Mayuri" He said and moved out of chamber.

I sat there crying miserably. What have I done, I should have asked him. It's my fault. Not only I hurt him but Dhairvi too. I was rude towards her. I conclude everything by myself. Why haven't I used my brain?!

The sudden sound of a thunder storm makes me startled. I looked outside and saw that the weather became atrocious. Again I heard the sound of thunder, I got goosebumps all over my body and soon fear takes place in my heart. I walked backwards and my back touched the bed. Because of the strong wind, diya's were extinguished and the chamber became darker. I tried to stand up but when I saw the light strike, making the dark sky brighten, I sat down. Only one thought was roaming in my mind.

'Somebody please save me...'

My breathing became faster and I felt dizzy. Everything seems blurry, I laid down and closed my eyes. Suddenly I heard someone calling me.

"Mayuri!" And I blacked out.

*Time skips*

I opened my eyes and looked at him. He was hugging me and sleeping cutely beside me. His breaths were fanning over my neck. I smiled looking at him. The weather seems good now.

Suddenly, he held my waist and squeezed it lightly. He moved his chin against my shoulder, his beard slightly pierced my skin, it felt ticklish too.

"Aah~" I moaned slightly.

"Hmm, awake?" He asked in his hoarse voice.

"Jii" I breathed and looked at him. His eyes were still closed.

"How do you feel now?" He asked.

"I'm sorry" I said and tears build up in my eyes.

"That's not the answer of my question" He said and finally opened his eyes.

"Please forgive me" I again said, guilt was building up in my heart.

"I'm going" He said and was about to walk away but I held his hand, he pushed it away just like how I did.

"I love you too" I said confessing, whatever was in my heart.
