Mohini- Rise Of Queen

14. Agam and Mohini Spends Time Together

Agam POV

I move towards Bapusaa's chamber, his reaction to whole of this situation is quite unnerving. 

Earlier when Bua-sa said that I don't accept her as my wife, it bothered me and seeing her head down in shame made something pinch my heart. 

I should be happy but instead on my own accord I made a bite and fed it to her to indicate I take her as my wife. 

I justify that she can be innocent but inside some feeling tells me it doesn't matter if she is inoocent or not, I will still accept her as my wife, and that feeling I am denying. 

And then all these feelings got a cold shower seeing my mother's bracelet. 

All those feelings of hatred came with full force, I can't afford to have these feelings whether she is innocent or not. 

I enter his chamber announcing my presence. He is sitting on deewan going over some scrolls. He looks and smiles at me, says, 

'Aap humse milne aaye wo bhi raat mein? Iss waqt toh aapko apni biwi ke saath hona chaiye.' 

'You came to meet me and that too at night? At this time you should be with your wife.' 

I can't understand why he doesn't look even little bit sad or disappointed instead sending us to get blessing for our marriage. 

Instead of beating around bush, I ask him directly, 

'Kya karne ki soch rahe hai aap? Hume toh laga aapko dukh pahucha hoga, sadma laga hoga, iss dhokhe se par aap toh khush dikh rahe hai, Naina ko bula kar uphaar pasand kara rahe hai Mohini ke liye.' 

'What are you thinking of doing? I thought that you must have been hurt, shocked, and despite this deception you are looking so happy, you are calling Naina and making her choose perfect gift for Mohini.' 

Bapusaa leave the scrolls, stands up and comes close to me. He says with a smile, 

'Hume kyun dukh pahunchega ya sadma lagega jab sab humare hisaab se ho raha hai?' 

'Why should I feel hurt or shocked when everything is going my way?' 

I frown at him, confused as everything has gone against his dreams, so I ask him, 

'Matlab?' 

'Meaning?' 

He smiles at me turns around and put his work away while saying, 

'Matlab ye ki kal savera hote hi aapko aur Mohini ko Kuldevta ke mandir jana hai isliye abhi jaiye jaake so jaaiye.' 

'It means that you and Mohini have to go to the family deity temple early tomorrow morning, so go and sleep now.' 

He is getting ready for sleep. But he didn't answer my question so I try once again, 

'But Bapusaa-' 

He interrupts me sternly, 

'It will take one day to reach mandir but it will be exhausting so go and rest yourself.' 

This is his way of dismissing him so I nod my head and wish him night and move to my chamber all the while thinking what my father has planned. 

I enter my room to find Mohini changed in cotton saree and making bed on the couch. 

I go closer and ask, 

'What are you doing?' 

She whips around and looks at me with panic then release a breath. So I just say,
