AARNA POV

My eyes flutter as the early morning rays entered through the blinds. I observed my surrounding and realised that Rana sa must have brought me back home last night but why did he? I tried to move a little to get out of the bed but a shooting pain went through my core, blush coated my cheeks and neck when the events of last night rushed to my mind. Rana sa loves me and he didn't even tried a tiny bit to hide it.

Slowly I stood up and with small steps I moved to the washroom.
I was standing infront of the mirror and discarded his hoodie and shorts. An audible gasp left my mouth when I saw the marks all over my body. Not only my neck and breast were red and purple but my stomach and inner thighs had his marks too. I decided to take a warm bath to sooth my tensed and sore muscles and confront Raja ji of his deeds ( I huffed).

I was tying the dori of my anarkali suit when Raja ji walked in drenched in his sweat from head to toe. His vest was sticking to his skin and he tied his long hair in a messy bun.
' done gawking jaan.' he smirked and walked pass me not before kissing me on my lips. To not feel embarrassed anymore I moved out of his- our room and went down to the kitchen but not before completing my Pooja.

After completing my Pooja I saw everyone already present in the dinning area having their morning tea.

' good morning dadu, baba sa, kaka sa.' I wished them. ' good morning Aarna beta/bachche' they said in unison and with that I moved inside the kitchen to greet the women of this family.

' good morning lovely ladies. Hum kuch madad kare aap sabki.' on hearing my voice everyone turned around with a smile but one look at me, they froze. I was looking at them with utter confusion and stood at the same place as earlier.
Maa sa and kaki sa shared a look, then maa sa came near me with glistening eyes, a smile formed on her lips.

' maa sa aap roh kyun rahin hai. Sab thik hai na? Humse kuch galti ho gyi hai?' I started blabbering as I got scared witnessing tears in her eyes. She wiped some Kohl from her eyes and put a dot behind my left ear.
' hum bahat khush hai Aarna bachche. Hume ye jan kar bahat Khushi ho rahi hai ki Amogh aapse bahat pyaar karte hai.' she said and moved out from the kitchen.
Soon kaki sa came and kissed my forehead and followed maa sa. We all took our seat on the breakfast table when younger ones also join us.

All of them had a knowing smile and teasing look. I was confused as to why everyone is behaving like this today. I had made sure to hide the marks that hukum sa gave me last night, still feeling intimidated by their looks I decided to not meet anyone's eyes and will focus on my breakfast. Hukum sa came and took his place and everyone started having their breakfast when Raj interrupted us.

' Bhabha, aaj bhabhi sa bahat glow nhi kar rahi.' I choked on my juice and coughed hard. Hukum sa passed me a glass of water and winked at me.

' Amogh aapki shaadi ko ek hafta reh Gaya hai jiski sari taiyaari hum khud dekhenge. Aur baba Hume aapse baat karni hai aap Hume humare study mein aakr miliye after completing your breakfast.' dadu sa said with utter seriousness
' ji dada hukum humara nashta ho gaya hai, hum aapke saath chalte hai.' Rana sa said
I excused myself and ran towards our room like my pants were on fire. God! Save me. I had no idea that everything will turn out like this early this morning.

AMOGH POV

I was in deep thought when I was walking along side dada hukum. I don't know why I'm feeling such agitation like something is happening and it will change my life.
I was following dada hukum's lead but he was taking me towards the west wing which is actually forbidden for anyone's entry.

' Dada hukum sab thik hai? Aap Hume yaha pr kyun laye hai?' I asked as was observing the intricate carvings and designs. This is my first time but it felt like I know and can feel each and every nook and corner of this place.

' I want to show you something Baba. It's high time that you should know about the untold historical events about our family. I am taking you to my Baba Hukum's chamber.' he said but I don't know what happened that I held his wrist in a firm grip and took a left.

' you are leading towards the wrong direction, it's on the left side. Come I will take you to the chamber.' I said casually like I know where I was taking him. A chuckle left dada hukum's mouth and he shook his head, I looked at him with raised eyebrows.

Nothing could be heard apart from the loud tapping of our foot steps. While we were walking through this beautiful corridor. I felt an electric shock passed through my body and I turned my face towards the right side with a jerk. My legs stopped infront of a beautiful wooden door with skillful carvings. I couldn't stop myself from moving closer towards the door and a lone tear escaped from my left eye.

Why am I feeling so much pain and desperation? My head is paining and I can feel a dull ache in my heart. I can feel the longing and separation.

As I was about to touch the wooden door dada hukum held my hand and pulled me towards another door which was a bit bigger and heavy than the earlier one. It looked like the room belonged to the former king. I looked at dada hukum who was opening the lock. He signalled me to step inside the room.

I pushed the heavy door with both of my hands, and what I saw infront of me left me shocked and I felt like the ground slipped beneath my feet......
