Noor's POV,,
I got ready and prepared myself to go for a not so usual lunch.I was walking through the corridors which had already obliterated from my memories.I had forgotten the way to the bagh in which i and abbujaan used to play together.I had forgotten the pond in which we used to feed the fish with bhaijaan. These thoughts were already fogging by mind and hot tears were threatening to fall down any moment but I somehow pulled myself together. A lump had formed on my throat which I was trying to swallow.I did not realize when I reached the ghizakumrah.
Allah! help me face them.
I entered the kumrah and the first person my eyes fell on was the Rajput prince staring at me.I felt a feeling of disgust and an urge to suddenly vomit pooled in my stomach.I immediately glared at him and it sufficed me that he looked away.
Such a cheap person he is.Of course someone who does not know the value of women and asks a woman like an object in return of peace ,his shallow mindedness is already visible.It would have been better if I married into Tehran even if I was the 37th wife.He..
My thoughts were interrupted by my grandfather asking me to take my seat.My mind was wandering elsewhere .I was feeling nervous and awkward as i never ate with my sisters or the Mallika-e-begum. I did not have any appetite and was going to get up from my seat when Begum piped up"Noor's life is completely set isn't it ,marrying a Rajput prince,becoming the queen,do not worry dear I am sure he will treat you well,nonetheless you all should have seen the prince's face when he heard that he is going to marry Noor,ha ha".Her words were laced with sarcasm and venom.She did not waste any time to taunt me. Tears blurred my vision.I got up quickly and ran out.I did not find the prince in his seat.Thank god he did not see me in this state.
I desperately wanted to talk to to Bhaijaan,thus went to his room.But he wasn't there.I went through the familiar doorways and corridors which were rejuvenating my asleep memories. I was trying to grasp each and every detail as I did not know my future husband would allow me to visit Afghan or not.My legs halted and my eyes scrunched as I saw the Prince coming from the other end of the corridor.He had a sinister smile on his face and was walking towards me.
I lowered my gaze but immediately looked up when he came near me.
"Wah!Kya bhagya hai mera jo Rajkumari se yahin bhent ho gayi .Waise hamere samajh ke pare to yah hai ki aap hamse vivaah karne ke liye itni aatur kyun hai....Rajkumari"(Amazing!What a beautiful luck I possess that I met princess here..in the corridor itself.But I really cannot understand this why princess is so restless to marry me?)" he said.
"Hmmph!Ulta chor kotwal ko daaten,Mera takdeer itna behuda hai ki mujhe itni neech soch wale insaan se nikaah karnah pad raha hai!Apse achha to mere kamreh ke bahar khade sipahee ,unke soch apke singhasan se uuncha zaroor hai.." ("Hmmph!I scoffed."The theif is scolding the police itself,My luck is so stupid that I am marrying a man who is so shallow minded .The soldiers guarding my room are better than you,atleast they are not so shallow minded as you are)"I spat out.
"Zabaan sambhal ke baat kijiye Rajkumari.Na keval ham aapke mehmaan hai parantu ham aapke hone wale pati bi hain" ("Put a break to your tongue princess,You are not only talking to your guest but also your future husband")he said gritting his teeth, annoyance audible in his voice.His voice sent chills through my spine and the impact was much but I covered up and managed to say something.
"Jo ek ladki to ak cheez ke samaan mane uski soch kitni giri hui hai yeh mujhe saaf-saaf nazar aa raha Yuvraj, Shaba Kher" ("Someone who thinks of a girl as an object his shallow mindedness is highlighted enough for someone like me to notice, Good Night")I said not wanting to drag this conversation any further.
I woke up in the morning in a sour mood and noticed I was surrounded by many ladies all ready for me to take a bath.All memories of yesterdays conversation ran back to me.I half interested went to my hammam to take a bath.The water was scented and mixed with milk and rose petals.All maids cleansed me with a mix of turmeric and sandal.I was sitting like a statue with water up to my breast while they cleaned me.I was never attended by so many maids well it was my wedding so it was understandable.
Alisha excitedly fit me into a green Sharara did my makeup and fitted a lot of jewels which i had never worn in my eighteen years of life.An old lady came with a plate of mehandi and started drawing patters on my palm .Tears flowed down my cheeks .I had never imagined that my wedding would take place in such a rush and I particularly crying on my mehandi.
(An idea for you all)
No family,no friends nobody came to visit me .It was only me ,the old lady,Alisha and a few maids who were silently accompanying me."I don't know what is going on your life or why you are sad but believe me I see happiness in your future,May Allah do well to you"("Mujhe yah nahin pata ke apke sath kya ho raha hai Rajkumari par mujhe apke mustakbil bohot hi ujwal dikhai de raha hai ,Allahumma Barek")The old lady said.A small smile broke on my face ,someone cared for me atleast ,don't they say Blood is not required to make a family.
The next morning was my Haldi.My marriage was taking place by the Rajput customs and rituals.So I wore a yellow and golden lehenga my happiness and smile lost somewhere in the ocean of sadness.All my sisters and brothers applied haldi on my face.Bhaijaan had a grim expression on his face.My father was nowhere to be found.Tears flowed down my haldi streaked face making lined through the yellow turmeric on my face.I was picked up from my place and brought to the hammam.
(An idea for you all)
There was no hijab on my except the veil upto my nose. The bath couldn't calm down my racing thoughts and tears flowed down my eyes non-stop.I could not control myself anymore and broke down into loud cries.Alisha was comforting me but ot no avail.I suddenly remembered my mother,I had never seen her but my Dadujaan's description had formed a faint picture in my mind."Ammijaan,Lejaiye mujhe yahan se,Bataiye na kya kare hum,AMMIJAAN! "(Mother,Take me away from here please,Tell me what should I do,MOTHER!)I wailed loudly in the sound proof hammam only Alisha by my side.
"Shehzadi ,You are being asked my Malika-e-begum as you are getting late for your wedding"a maid announced.I got up from the water and went towards my room.I was a few hours away from marrying someone.I sighed.
