Yashika The uncanny puzzle of KING[ 18+]

16 - A WILD RACE

YASHIKA' POV

"Logon ki bheed se kyun tolti hain khud ko.. Aapke aage toh chand bhi sharmaa jaaye ", (Why are you comparing yourself with the crowd of people?... even the moon would feel ashamed in front of you)

His words settled somewhere deep inside me but, that doesn't mean you will believe them.

I took a step closer to him looking straight into his eyes."Kuch ghaav Samay ke sath bhi nahi bharte, toh shabdon se kya bharenge." (Some wounds don't heal even with time. Then how do you expect them to heal with words?)

Saying so, I walked around looking for Dhruv. I was calling his name out, looking all over .

It was dark, except for the Diyas that were lightning up the beautiful lake.

While I was looking for Dhruv footsteps behind me caught my attention. when I turned my tears came out like a river flowing.

I saw Dhruv standing with Rajasa. I ran to Drhuv and hugged him tight. Whenever he was happy, he'd start shaking his head and neigh like there is no control. I laughed so hard upon seeing him.

He nudged his face pushing me again and again. Which meant only one thing, that I should sit on him.

It reminded me of all the times that I spent with him strolling the jungle. Letting that wild wind blowing through my hair. Setting me free of worries and pain . Cutting the air like sharp knife and setting our souls free.

It also made me giggle remembering how poor Hima was balled sitting in the bag tied to my chest. After that she never ever went on horse ride. Every time I'd ask, she would run or just jump out of my hold .

With a smile I walked around and with one swift motion my leg swayed around setting myself on His back.

I even saw Rajasa looking me wide eye when I climbed Dhruv so easily.

I did tease him at his look but then he vanished away.

DIGVIJAY'S POV

I did not have answers to her reply. She is righ, my wounds are deeper then what I might think, so I did not push further.

Yashika walked around looking for Dhruv so I quickly went to bring him and the moment she saw Dhruv it was same love and happiness that I saw when she met Hima. "How can a hunan love animals so much?"

They hoth were behaving as if they could understand each other. As if they know what the other one feels.

All I could do was stand there and admire the most amazing bond I ever saw.

While I was looking at her she just jumped on her horse like it was a child play for her. For a moment I was taken aback. I knew she can bite back like a tigress, even to a king, she never bows down which I NOW know why? But she knows how to ride a horse. That was definitely unexpected and surprising.

She passed a small smirk at me making me raise my brow.

"You think climbing a horse makes you a rider?", I asked challenging her back.

"I think, if you know your Animals, you can even defeat a KING.", uff her replies make me mad and happy at the same time. I never saw any girl like her, EVER.

"So you think you can DEFEAT ME?", taking a step closer I held the harness of Dhruv when he kept moving again and again, asking her in a low growl.

She leaned in looking straight at me, "WHY? are you scared to lose?", she just pulled the last string. And I walked away.
