Adiraj's POV,
A light weight on my bare torso, and a wet cloth on my forehead which had almost evaporated by now. I could still hear the slight pattern of rain, a light drizzle. Last night events came running back to me and a smile sported on my face.
I looked towards my left to see her beautiful sleeping face, and a cute pout on her lips. She was snuggling more into me and had covered herself with the same duvet I was covered with. I moved my lower body a little only to let a groan slip out.
My lotus she was, how much more will she lie to me? Her eyes were spilling all her facade of anger the other day. Her uncontrollable tears were speaking instead of her. I moved forward a bit, pulling her head onto my bicep as I heard her mutter something incoherent in her sleep. It was almost as if she wanted to rip my skin off and settle inside of me, a deep inhale as her eyes fluttered. My lips touched her forehead as I saw her smile, a beautiful one, the one accentuating her features which didn't have the lingering worry of the fight.
"Good morning Lotus..."
My voice came out raw and husky, I noticed her visibly shudder as her eyes widened a little. She looked up at me suddenly, her clear black orbs have swirling images of me, peering into my irises. Her lips parted as she got lost in me. I smirked at the effect I had on her, enjoying each and every moment of our proximity.
Her body betrayed her, as I could see her conscience fighting against her desire. Her shivering pink petals, approaching my chapped ones. Before they could touch mine, she moved away. Climbing down, I noticed her saree, smeared with my blood.
Something was eating me up from within, she looked as if she was cursing herself.
"Lotus..."
"Stop..."
I looked at her, amused. My brows furrowed. The description of the feeling would be invalid if I say that hundreds of daggers were stabbing my heart at that point on how she was looking at me. A distant look she was trying to force upon her , her eyes twinkling with sadness, buried inside her now hollow and expressionless orbs.
"Stop calling me.........Lotus....I have a name, if it pleases you...Kunwarsa,,"
"Of course you do....Pfft..."
I scoffed, mockery in my voice. My hands went to my hair as I pushed them backwards. Frustration was coating my hope, there was a catch to what she was doing but I couldn't point my pin at it.
"Angry are we....*sigh*...Tell me Lotus..Which action of mine made you so angry that you do not even want to look at my face?..."
Silence. The silence was slapping my face hard, and the throbbing pain on my wound was not helping either.
"ANSWER ME DAMMIT!!!"
She flinched and jumped at my sudden raise of voice. She looked at me shocked. This was the first time I ever raised my voice at her, and not to mention the guilt I was facing. Why was it only happening to me? Don't I deserve an ounce of happiness?
I inhaled deeply as I stood up, only to fall down on the bed again, my wound not supporting my body weight. She ran to my side and immediately inquired about my state.
"Continue.....Keep lying to yourself..Lotus ... .The day I find out what I did wrong, that day I promise I will whip myself until you take care of me like this all my life...Your eyes tell me something is wrong...just tell me once and I will do everything in my power to make it right..I promise, but please don't build this wall of defiance and distance in between us..ple..ase"
My voice broke in the end. I couldn't suffer anymore. I have finally got her, I don't want to spend sleepless and drunk nights everyday. Not again. Her eyes were getting teary and she was holding my shoulder, while my hands were around her waist.
"RAJ..."
"Hnn hnn..."
"Raj...."
"Yes my love..."
"r...aj..."
"My princess.....I love you so much..."
I kissed her eyes, and was going to kiss her nose as she scooted away. She made herself presentable as she looked at herself through the mirror. She frowned as she looked at herself.
"You can take a bath in my quarters....and...then.."
"NO......I don't want unnecessary rumours....that will tarnish your untainted reputation..."
She just grabbed my shawl and wrapped it around herself. Poured a glass of water and forwarded it to me. I took it from her, taking my sweet time and delving into her facial features. A Facade, a clear one, her eyes looking at me with love and care or maybe I'm hallucinating?
I gulped down the water as it soothed my dry throat. I noticed her hands trembling as she took the glass away. I frowned and looked at her. She was not meeting my eyes. Constant fidgeting and squirming under my gaze.
"Lotus..."
"Please...... .don't make it difficult for me ... .dont call me Lotus anytime soon..."
She muttered, maybe only to herself, but I did hear it. I held her palms and pulled her closer to me, she stood in between my legs. I kissed her knuckles and asked her again,
"Tell me...what's wrong..."
She looked at me, her tongue peeked out, licked her dried lips, which was adorable, for me to look at.How desperately I wanted to taste and nibble those edible lips of hers.
She forced her hands out of my grip and silently walked towards the door, I just glared at her back. What's with her today? What was wrong? She is very easily manipulated. I am sure someone said something to her.
My ears bled as the next words pierced my soul, making me rise from the bed and hold her wrists, and pulling her against my chest.
"I don't love you anymore Kunwarsa..."
She squirmed at my grip and hit my chest to release her, but all I wanted to see was a speck of hesitation in her eyes at the sudden change of events.
