ADITI ISHAN:Unexpected Love

17 ~Please agree ~

Aditi's POV

"Won't you greet your husband inside my lady?"he said changing his expression with the speed of a falling star while I was lost and tangled in the thoughts of his Maasa.

"There is no wonder....this kind of behaviour towards your Maasa can be expected of you Rajnath...."I said failing to hold back.

"What's wrong,my lady?Don't speak like you hadn't missed me?As soon as you woke up,you must be wondering where has your husband gone....So,here I am to greet my wife on our very first morning..."He was going in his pace....

"Will you please stop consuming my brain early in the morning?What was that ritual your Maasa was telling about?"I asked noticing that he has just ignored the topic regarding his Maasa.

"Why Sweetie?Are you so eager to perform them taking the place of my wife and become my better half forever?I am so pleased to know that..."he said locking his eyes with mine and gave off a slight smirk.

"You can take few steps back and get away from here if you wish to continue to talk this way......I am not performing any ritual now...So,please carry on" I said trying to shut the doors of the chamber.

He stepped forward,bent his head and his eyes are too close to mine,his gaze is wandering and tunneling deep into my eyes as if trying to trace the depth of my eyes....He placed his palms on the doors almost touching mine,to which I took back my hands and he easily pushed back the doors and entered inside.

"Wait,my lady.You ought to perform the rituals since you are the daughter in law of the Chanvers.If you can't handle them always remember that I will consider it my fortune to be of any help to you Sweetie..."He said as he started walking away from me and went inside the chamber leaving me behind at the door.

"Babasa has ensured that all the required arrangements are done.It wouldn't be polite to disappoint him...I am requesting you to perform this ritual Sweetie......Moreover,it would be more than a blessing to be able to sit beside you with a divine right as your protector,my lady" he delivered as he gently turned back towards me and started staring me in gratitude with a warmth in his eyes and half hearted curve on his lips which is somehow reaching me although we are few metres away....

No,why am I even noticing all the details of his expressions?He cannot have his spell on me now....Once I have already been deceived by his act of Ishan,now I will not fall for these waves and words of Rajnath.

"I know you have started to put up with your playful words which were once vibrant and influenced me but now you should realise that your language has faded and lost it's lure on me.....I don't want to perform any ritual with you Rajnath.I am making it clear to you that I don't accept you as my husband." I said.

He looked down for a moment,took a gulp and showed a suppressed smile raising his head.I didn't know how to interpret his gestures and stopped tracing his expressions.

"I am aware of that Sweetie.You don't have to keep reminding me.....But I request you to be conscious that since you are the daughter in law of Chanver family now it's your duty to attend the ritual.It's just a session of prayers and offerings Sweetie.Please try to perceive that you are going to be the future Queen and this is also a kingdom with people just like yours.We are not enemies now.Consider us a family."He said in a quite soft and delicate way.

"Why should I abide by your decisions?Did I ask you to make me the Queen of Chanver kingdom?Was it my decision to put the treaty of marriage?Now,since I am your wife,you will put forward the context and I should simply agree?!!What do you think of yourself??"I asked and the words were just rolled out without no prior thought and I had no idea of what I was speaking....

Rudeness is not accustomed in my native tongue,but I just realised that my words turned out to be a bit harsh....In any case,this is the reality,then why should I feel guilty to confront it?He is the one who is to be held at fault,so I shouldn't regret to be rude to him but....

"Sweetie,calm down.You can scold me as much as you want once we are done with the ritual.We have so much time to clash and reconcile in the future....Now if we don't get going,we might run late."He said in a composed voice.

I couldn't comprehend him at this point.....I was just making too much in my head regarding my words and this man....it didn't seem to affect him at all....

"First,you have to get dressed up in that gold and red lehenga over there.....then you have to cook a dish which we will be offering at the Grand Mandir nearby...later in the evening you must prepare a meal for your husband.I would be glad to be of any help to you Sweetie "He said leaving me shocked.

Now I don't think it's near to possible for me to perform the ritual since I am not a good cook....or not even a cook for that matter.

I have always known that I am not a kind of person who turns into an ideal wife.I am acquainted with arrows and swords but the things like dressing up,jewellery,cooking belong to that bud which doesn't bloom in my garden.

I walked towards him to the middle of the chamber where he was standing and delivered, "I said I am not performing any ritual with you....you may leave Rajnath"

I instantly refused since this is the only way I could find to get out of this....

I couldn't believe that he nodded his head and prepared to leave.....He listened to me?I was pleased to know his departure....but waittt.....he was intensely persuading me to perform the ritual a while ago and now he is simply leaving....something doesn't seem right.

The sudden slam of the door made me turn around confirming my suspicion...He turned stepping forward to approach me....

An eerie flutter is echoing all through my soul.....An unsettling dissonance is stirring following a curious disquiet...
