Dear Scrollstack Readers, the update there will take time as I got my left thumb and half of the hand either triggered or carpal Tunnel due to excessive usage.

Nooooooo..., no I was not doing any self care. It got it because of excessive typing. So, I should better let it rest because it gets permanently broke.

Trisha POV

A few more times, and I would be gone.

"But Rudra told me that Abhinandan has feelings for you. Why are you doing this to him?" she asked. I did not know what came to my mind, and I shook my head. "What am I doing to him?" I asked in return, wondering what wrong I had done. I was scared.

It was he who came here and said all of those things and suddenly disappeared.

She gulped nervously, and suddenly, she ordered everyone around.

"Leave us alone," and with that said by a Queen, all the ladies of the neighbourhood and my friends walked out.

"They are the family," I exclaimed, taking a stand for them. She could give them orders.

"You are older than me, and I should not call you by your name. So, I must call Jiji to you," she said, and I felt embarrassed. It felt like she was suddenly reminding me of my sins that I had not done.

"Jiji, Abhinandan does have feelings for you," she said, and I shook my head.

"Who told you that?" I asked again. "It is not like you two are on very talking terms," I added, and she turned nervous.

"We might not be as we were before, but I know," she said, and I sighed.

"Do not ruin my wedding. You could be a queen, but not everyone, are you," I said, feeling a bit jealous of her. She was privileged. She could afford to fall in love and get what she wanted. Yuvraj always mentioned her as stubborn.

"I only want the best for you and my brother," she said, and I left her hand. This enraged me. I was so done with him and people caring only about him. Nobody wanted to know how I was feeling.

"Then you could have thought about him before making the decisions that would affect him in haste." Unwantedly, all of my anger burst out on her.

"Very well," she muttered, looking away. She turned to go out, and I let tears roll down my cheeks. She stopped all of a sudden and came forward to hug me tightly.

And I broke into silent cries.

"I know how it feels to be unable to explain things to some people," she said, and I inhaled deeply. For a moment, her hug reminded me of him. She was his twin sister, someone I dearly hated because all of this was a blunder because of her.

"I do not expect you to love me," she said, pulling away, and I lowered my gaze. "But, if you change your mind, I will be here for you. If you want to run, I can help," she said, and I immediately stepped away.

"What the hell are you speaking?" I asked and shook my head in disbelief. "You must leave right now," I added, and she stared at me blankly for a moment, looking confused and then walked out of there.

What kind of person was she? How could she be so heartless? She caused tremendous problems for her family and then asked me to do the same to my father. How could she become the Queen? I wondered how the women of Suryagarh would behave under her rule.

She had no sense of righteousness.

I sat down on the floor.

After some time, a few more rituals followed, and I was readied in the dark red wedding attire, similar to the shades of roses. It was simple and plain, not too much of royalty, but its dupatta was heavy.
