              ~kashi's POV~

"Butterfly, i respect your feelings and emotions. But please don't assume your place in my heart low. You've been the first woman I got attached to" he muttered.

His eyes were determined, meant what he said. He smiled slightly and i gave weak smile.

"What I said earlier was true. I'm not the one for you" I muttered.

But I'm never gonna give up on you. I'm gonna give my best to make our relationship work.

"Just because we've some history and we don't like each other's parents doesn't mean you're not one for me. Butterfly, I've never said this before but the only woman in my life is woman I got married. There will be no other one. You're my wife, my better half and part of me. Don't you think you're not enough for me. I can't make promises for future but in present all I want you to know that I respect you. I respect your presence, your decision. I don't know what's coming next in life, but your place in my life will remain same" his eyes were softened.

"And about today's scene in temple. I'm sorry from choti maa's side"

I'm his rival's daughter whom he married to use for revenge, he doesn't love me, but still consider me as the only woman of his life. He has been a tough guy but by heart he is still a child who is afraid of loving someone, afraid of losing someone still Committing to his rival's daughter knowing that he is never gonna love her.

I could understand him, but I'm afraid of his revenge. I'm afraid how I'm gonna fight with his ideology. How I'm gonna reveal his choti maa's reality. How will his heart carry such a big expose.

My eyes gathered tears and lips started trembling, i couldn't bare the fact that one day he's gonna know about choti maa whom he trusts the most, whom he consider as her mother.

I sobbed looking down and he patted my head slightly, pulled me in his arm. I rested my head on his chest and cried. I couldn't control tears and he shushed me.

Whatever will happen in future I'll be with him. He has to go through this pain, he'll be broken no doubt, but I'll be his backbone.

I parted myself and wiped off tears from cheeks.

"We should head towards palace, it evening already" he said while looking at sky.

I hummed and we walked to his horse, he helped my to climb on  and sat behind me. His chest was attached with my back, I leaned more and felt his touch.

Soon, we reached in palace. I took veil to hide my face and went inside aksh mahal while Rudraksh got busy in work. We've organised banquet for people of martikavati on the occasion of worshipping Kuldevta. There will be tons of people tonight in palace. Rudraksh, I and all other officials will be serving them.

"Kashi, you should change into royal one" Sheela said.

I nodded and went inside dressing area where gauri has already set up all jewelleries and clothes. I changed into red coloured lehenga choli with gold and diamond jewellery. I needed to wear queen crown too.

I've completed first mission, Faith. I was trying to earn his trust and I did. Few days back, I was losing hope that he won't believe in me but after today's incident which choti maa created in temple, I'm sure rudraksh was convinced that it wasn't my fault. He believes that I've not given her halwa purposely. I'll meet Sathvik to discuss about next mission.

After a while, Sheela ran to me almost breathless. She was trying to say something but was breathing heavily.

"Calm down, sheela" gauri said and i nodded.
