ADITI ISHAN:Unexpected Love

8 ~Dad's love and Daughter's devotion~

Aditi's Pov

Seeing my Maa at peace after my words,I couldn't control myself from asking her something...."Maa,why are you concerned this much about Dad?I know that he has many wives and cares little for you but why Maa,you always worry about him??"

She smiled and said,"That's how love and marriage works dear,when you take them seriously...He may not be a good husband but he is your Dad and a loving father.....Our lives after marriage would be revolving around our husband and children dear.....though you may not like their mindset,habits,words and deeds you will have to live for them.It's your duty as a wife,daughter in law and mother.This is what we are taught dear and....."

I couldn't agree with her....why only women are obliged to be loyal to men and stand by their side....when men have many wives and do not care about the feelings of women??In contrast if women had many marriages,they would be cursed.

And what's there in a marriage....it's nothing more than an alliance between two royal kingdoms.....

That was what I thought before I met Ishan.

I wanted to clear all these things with Maa,but seeing her condition I felt that she is in desperate need of rest.

"Good night Maa,take care of yourself...you seem too weak and fragile.Rest assured.I will check on Dad and only then am I going to return to bed."

"One more thing Aditi,if at all the king agrees for the marriage alliance....Rajnath wants to marry you the next morning itself.He said that it's already late for him and he can't stay here long.He wants to return to Chanver kingdom right after the marriage."

I gave a sharp and stubborn look saying,"Rest well Maa,You will have to dress me up tomorrow for my wedding."

She vented out a deep breath and rested.

I took the Dinner plate from the kitchen place and went to meet my Dad.

Sensing my arrival,my Dad rushed to the door,"Adi,are you fine dear?What did the Prince do to you?Don't worry,darling.Your dad is here.I will look after all the things...you don't have to get married....that too to our enemy....No dear,my heart is heavy..I can't let this happen....I won't dear...not at any cost...you don't...."my dad was stumbling,stopping in between to gasp for breath....

I took him to the bed,placed the plate on it and sat next to him...."See,Dad.I am your Princess.You know about me right,what will the Prince be able to do ?I am not less than any Prince when it comes to battle,you know that right?!"

My dad raised his head and patted my shoulder saying,"I know about my girl,she is my daughter and son too.I know I worried for nothing....but dear you don't have to agree to this marriage...I will somhow manage the situation dear."

I took his hand to mine and said,"How can I not agree Dad?After seeing how you are ready to risk your life for me,will I be able to live seeing you following someone's orders and serving someone?Don't you think I also love you?How did you dare to risk your life?With whose permission you asked them to take your head?You didn't think of me at all...how would I live without you Dad?Do you think only yours is love and what about me?You could die for my sake and you think I would live after that with that regret of having lost you for my sake?"I vented out not realising the tears dropping from my cheeks ,bathing our hands in between us.

My dad quickly wiped them and took my head to rest on his shoulder,"No dear,please don't cry.....for your happiness I can do anything dear...you are not any important thing or event in my life dear...you are my entire life and world...."

I felt at peace hugging my dad.After being through many emotions of knowing about Ishan,the peace making,consoling my Maa,agreeing to the marriage and knowing my luck to be born to such a Dad.....all these thoughts were vanished in a moment and all I could feel is pure calm and solace.

I raised and said,"I am ready for the marriage tomorrow Dad"

There was storm in his eyes and voice saying,"No dear,no way....I can't let this happen...I will manage somehow...I can't get you married to the Chanvers...not at any cost...no dear....this can't happen..."

"Dad,May be you can manage but I can't manage seeing you in any place less than a king.Coming to marriage,you don't worry....just as Maa and you always say that it's the order of nature to get married someday.....I think the day has come...it doesn't matter to me even if I had to get married for the sake of my Dad's honour specially"

"Adi,no darling,just because you want to get me out of this....you don't have to agree to the marriage,that too to our enemy no dear,I can't risk you..."

"Dad,I said right....it doesn't matter who it is....I am your daughter and you trust me right?!I can manage there amidst our enemies as well"

"Of course dear....I trust you but still....my heart doesn't let me do this...."

"Dad,no words now....you remember telling me that I could marry anyone of my choice?!"

"Haa,I do remember dear"

I swallowed and said something which I didn't want to but had to say,"Then,you will have to fulfil it now Dad.Me,Aditi Parvan is choosing Rajnath Ishan Chanver as my husband,not out of compulsion but out of my own will and choice Dad." I felt suffocated saying this but in order to make my Dad assured I had to create this impact on him.

"Aditi,are you sure dear? What did the Prince say to you??He convinced you??!!Do you like him?"My dad said wonderstruck all of a sudden.

"I can tell you this much dad that I am ready to marry him"I said pretending to act shy though I felt miserable inside.

"I am your Dad,I know dear you are doing this for the sake of our kingdoms...I can't see you like this."

"Look Dad,since I have to get married someday why not now?If I had to get married to someone then why not to him?I am not under compulsion Dad,I am happy that I could also do something for your sake...it would happily and heartily it and consider it as a previlige."

"Such a angel God had gifted me.But Aditi,I can't... "

"No buts Dad,now I am talking with the authority of a Princess asking you to fulfil your word as a king."I said with a grin.

Dad smiled which shows he had agreed.

"Inform them and make arrangements for the wedding Dad."I said.....finally.......it was more difficult and challenging to convince my dad to the marriage than me getting persuaded by my Maa.

"I will take care of the rest dear.....since all of this is so sudden,arrangements had to me made this entire night and you must be tired and panicked of this overnight turning a bride scenario right dear.....so please get yourself some good rest now..."

I denied,""I am not going anywhere until you finish the dinner Dad""...and stayed with my Dad until he finished his dinner and then prepared to leave..

"Thank you darling"my Dad said.

"No dad,you can't thank me.I love you Dad.Good night"

"Love you too dear"....

After such an unpredictable day,and to be particular the night...I finally reached my chamber......
