Aditi's POV
In the fading moonlight peeping from the curtains along with calm breeze comforting me,I helped myself with a blanket....but a while ago....what has happened?Did I just obey him?
No,it can't be that way.I don't get to process his behaviour but one thing he confessed is to be considered...I am not a kind of person to beg for my honour since I am very well aware of how to handle it....even if he misbehaves now....
And the reason to stay here this night is......at the moment I am too tired to wander out there in search of my non existent chamber.....and on top of it,I am so desperate to catch some sleep that it doesn't seem significant to spare my time roaming in the corridors......Yes this is the reason for my stay here....but definitely not because he insisted.
I feel like something is lurking at the back of my mind.....for the kind of person who Rajnath Chanver is now,I thought he would compel me to perform my duty as his wife since my marriage was also something that happened with my consent but not my will....if he could marry me that way,then it must be effortless for him to claim me without my will.....then why is he acting as if he is virtuous?
Is it because he knew my potential as a warrior that I wouldn't yield and create a scene?Or because he wants to play innocent ?Or because by any chance he respects...... ""Ohh stop it Aditi,what's wrong with you?Do you seriously want to renounce your sleep making theories about that person who is the root cause of all your troubles thrown on your path....He doesn't even deserve to be part of your thoughts and not even eligible for your hatred but here you go,just changing your perspective on him for one act of his.....not even knowing what might be his underlying motive.....""""
My inner voice brushed off all the rubbish thoughts rolling in my minds....I just closed my eyes and believed my God that He wouldn't abandon those who count on Him....
The weight of wakefulness seems to slighten and my eyes are growing dim taking me to the ephemeral world of dark...
Just a while ago I have entered the realm of sleep,but now the dreams of night are drying and darkness is dissolving.....the warmth of morning has awakened my soul now.....
Noticing the depth of the daylight,I realised that I woke up late than my usual.Erasing the embrace of night with my fingers,I kindled the spark of wakefulness only to realise that I was alone in the chamber with a gold-red lehenga set placed on the table in front of the mirror.I didn't want to invest my gentle thoughts of morning into the person I averse.It's indeed for the best that he had left before I wake up,else looking at him in the first hours would only enrage me,making me miss the chance to relish the rich beauty of the morning.
Moving out of the bed,after greeting and basking for a bit in the brilliance of the bright sun,I couldn't help but smile because the sight of standing in the balcony gazing at the aesthetic moment is so much solace to someone in my situation.
I freshened up and dressed up in another casual wear which was handed by Princess Naina....the sweet and innocent soul existing here.Since we weren't able to interact properly the previous day,I plan to meet her soon for I feel some affinity to meeting up with her....
Just then,I noticed a knock on the chamber and it shook me a bit to see the person who has arrived to meet me....
If my memory doesn't deceive me,I could recollect that she is the one who has been introduced as Rani Avani.....Maasa of Rajnath.
For a moment,there was a pause of perplexity for I didn't know what should be my reaction.
"Good Morning dear...hope I am not disturbing you...I came here to deliver a message dear..."she said breaking the silence.
I quickly shook off the slumber of confusion,and realised to greet her and welcome her.
"Pranams Ranisa....Pardon me for letting you stand at the entrance.....please make your way inside"I guided her.
A sweet smile took her as I spoke....but she said,"No dear,Is everything fine? Are there any issues dear?I just came to check if Raj has told you regarding the ritual to be held today..."
Ritual?My God...I feel like troubles have become my uninvited guests recently......Now I can't predict which one is on hold to test my patience...
Rajnath suddenly showed up out of the blue...."Pranams Raanisa,May I know what is the urgency to meet my wife in the very first hours?"he said straight ahead in a flat expression devoid of any detectable emotion.
"Raj,I came to check on her if she is alright and to inform her about the ritual.I just wanted to..."she was cut off when Rajnath abruptly spoke,"Thanks Raanisa,I don't think my wife requires your instructions...I wish to talk to her in private...you may kindly check upon the other arrangements Raanisa....I am sure you must be aware not to disturb the newly-weds" he uttered which seemed like he was making it clear to her to depart right at the moment....
I was taken back at his way of treating his Maasa.Something seems out of normal regarding their bonding.
I could hear a whisper of disconnection lingering in the line of their relation.But some part inside me is signalling me to ignore it...because there is no wonder since he is Rajnath Chanver who can betray people and behave according to his belief.So the issues related with this man shouldn't bother me when I do not care for him....
I could feel the weight of her expression as she bade me through her eyes and asked me to take care....
At the entrance of the chamber,now two of us are standing.
If only the veil of the ritual's secret would lift,revealing the threads of uncertainty yet to unfold.....
