His Queen

Chapter FORTY THREE

Rajvansh Aparna Singh Rathore.....

Author's POV:

The grand hall of the palace was adorned with vibrant flowers and shimmering lights, creating an ambiance of pure elegance and joy. Rajvansh and Aparna stood at the center, surrounded by their closest family members, their faces glowing with happiness.

Aparna looked breathtaking in a red saree threaded with intricate gold designs. The fabric clung to her gracefully, and the golden embroidery caught the light, making her sparkle with every movement. Her long hair was adorned with jasmine flowers, and she wore traditional gold jewelry that accentuated her beauty.

Rajvansh stood beside her, looking regal in a sherwani that matched the rich red of Aparna's dupatta. The detailed embroidery on his attire complemented Aparna's saree perfectly, making them look like they were made for each other.

As they prepared to sign the marriage documents, Aparna's hand trembled slightly as she picked up the pen. Her eyes drifted to where Rajvansh's name was written. She gasped softly when she saw it: Rajvansh Aparna Singh Rathore. He had changed his name for her.

"Rajvansh," she whispered, her voice filled with shock and disbelief. "You've changed your name... What will people say?"

He looked at her with those deep, loving eyes and smiled. "Chocolate, I belong to you. Let people know who owns me."

Tears of happiness welled up in her eyes, and she couldn't hold them back. He reached out and gently wiped them away, kissing her forehead tenderly.

Their family members beamed with pride and joy. Aparna's parents, who had always been wary of Rajvansh's behavior, seemed to relax. They could see now, more than ever, how deeply he loved her.

The ceremony continued as they exchanged rings. Rajvansh's hand was steady as he slipped the beautiful ring onto Aparna's finger. Her eyes sparkled with delight as she admired it. "It's perfect," she whispered, looking up at Rajvansh with love.

Rajvansh then took a small box of vermillion and, with great care, filled her hair partition. He carefully placed the nuptial chain around her neck. Some of the vermillion fell onto her nose, and Rajvansh, with a mischievous glint in his eye, deliberately sprinkled a bit more.

Karn and Reva burst into laughter, teasing him. "Looks like someone is marking his territory," Karn joked.

"Bade bhaiya, do you need more vermillion!" Reva added, giggling.

Rajvansh just shrugged, a playful smile on his face. Aparna blushed at the attention and his behavior, but then she did the unexpected. She tiptoed on her feet and rubbed her nose against his, smudging some of the vermillion onto his nose.

He was surprised but happy, a faint blush spreading across his cheeks. "I also want to show my love for you, like you do for me," she said softly, her eyes shining with affection.

Everyone around them cheered and congratulated the newlyweds. Aparna's parents, seeing the genuine love between their daughter and Rajvansh, felt a deep sense of peace. No matter how Rajvansh behaved with them, they knew he cherished Aparna.

Then the newly married couple took the blessings of their elders.

As the celebration continued, the couple stood there, surrounded by love and support, knowing that they had each other for the rest of their lives. The grand hall echoed with laughter and joy, marking the beginning of a beautiful journey together.

Aparna and Rajvansh were finally alone in their room after a long and eventful day.

She slumped onto the bed, her exhaustion evident. With a sigh, she reached for the loose end of her saree, letting it slide down her shoulders. She then carefully removed her heavy jewelry, piece by piece, and took a deep breath of relief.
