Rakshash Aur Rajkumari (The Devil And The Princess)

5•मतिभ्रमम्

After the wedding we took a train to Kashi and reached a small apartment where we were greeted by a couple.

"Hello my name is Garima, and this is my husband Kush." The woman said with a big smile, her husband put his hands together to do a pranam and gave a small smile.

"This flat is of ours, and that one is yours." Kush said while pointing at two flats opposite to each other.

Rudra went inside the flat which they said as ours, I stood there as Garima was holding my hand.

"I kept everything you need in your room, your toiletries, clothes, makeup and whatever I thought you would need... Rudra told me to provide everything for you. Kush went to shopping and brought all the vegetables and necessities to make food. If you need anything you will just have to call me." Garima said.

I nodded my head.

"Great, now come with me." She sneaked her hands on my arms and pulled me closer, she seems nice. She dragged me towards our flat.

"Me and Rudra are childhood friends, I am a housewife and sometimes I teach little children drawing in my free time, my husband is a labourer just like Rudra." She stated, I nodded.

"This is your living room." Garima said.

It's a cozy small living room which looks super cute. I am loving my small home already.

"KUSH! I TOLD YOU WE WILL BE NEEDING TWO SINGLE BEDS ON THE BEDROOM WHY IS THERE ONLY ONE KING SIZE BED?!" I heard Rudra's loud yelling.

"Haye Ram! They are fighting again!" She dragged me to our cute bedroom, which looked super comfy.

"I didn't find any." Kush replied calmly.

"Don't lie to me!" Rudra complaint.

"Adjust." Kush ordered making him roll his eyes.

"I have prepared the lunch, freshen up and come to our flat for the lunch." Garima said.

I nodded my head and Rudra didn't reply.

Both of them left, leaving me alone with him. For the first time I felt so left out with him, beforehand he used to say that he doesn't want me at that point of time it was okay but now I don't know why but I feel so lonely.

Rudra went inside the bathroom. I sat down on the bed and looked around, the walls are painted in sky blue, the bedsheets are white with two fluffy pillows and a soft duvet. There is a lamp beside the bed and a dressing table just beside it. On the other wall there is a closet, on the right there's a balcony filled with plants.

I went to the balcony and got stunned by the amazing view of river ganga, I did a pranam. I looked around to find a not so busy street which is quite unexpecting in Kashi, but we are living a bit out of the hustle and bustle.

After few minutes I heard the bathroom door open and he walked out of it, he was holding a towel in his hand and drying his shoulder length hair. His broad and huge body was covered with small droplets of water and a towel loosely hanging on his torso, I fear that if he walks for a minute or two it will fall down...

I closed my eyes and looked away.

"The water is warm you can go and freshen up." He said.

I nodded and started walking towards the bathroom while keeping my eyes closed. I stumbled over the wall hard and was falling when a hand came out of the wall and hold me by my waist.

I opened my eyes to meet with a pair of chocolate brown eyes looking back at me, it's not a wall it's him.

I thought he would be annoyed but his face looks so calm....
