             ~Rudraksh's POV~

"Rudra! Marry mohini"
Choti maa exclaimed.

That's it! This sentence broke my patience.

"Out!" I growled without looking at her.

She remained there, caused me to give her that glare which everyone was scared of. She sprinted out of chamber in few seconds.

I leaned back on couch, closing my eyes tightly while running
fingers in hair. Situation is getting out of my hands now. Choti maa is being stubborn and irritating these days, she badly wants me to hate kashi by doing small tactics which she found I'm not aware of.

Too bad! Instead of hating kashi I'm getting more attached to her because she is being herself not pretending to gain my love, meanwhile Choti maa is playing her games thinking I'm stupid. Like inviting mohini in banquet. She knows that i wasn't interested in meeting her.

Mohini is daughter of friend of choti maa. She is a prostitute and was mistress of amargarh's king, nobody is aware of that. After kashikgarh defeated amargarh in battle, she lost king and is alone now.

We were friends in childhood but  got separated. She started performing dances in courtyard when she was twenty and as a friend, i made her understand her value but she got into this profession. For once, i thought she was forced by her mother as her mother was also a prostitute but I got to know that it was her own decision. She was in this profession by her own will.

Still, i didn't broke our friendship. I respected her and it was her decision to continue but I stepped back from our friendship when she offered proposal of making her my mistress. It was heartbreaking for me, making her my mistress, for god's sake she was my friend!

I refused and she seemed to be hurt, started throwing herself on me, but I strictly maintain distance which somehow hurted her ego, she cried and furiously migrated to amargarh. Since then, we weren't interested contact.

Choti maa was aware of all this drama and reality of mohini. But still she was proposing this stupid marriage proposal for me.

"Come inside, butterfly" I said while turning my head towards entrance.

I knew she was overhearing conversation as I could sense her presence by the noise of her anklet.

I don't express my emotions much infront of her that's the reason I've controlling myself from exploding over choti maa when she was talking rubbish.

There have been a lot of time when kashi got insulted and i remained silent infront of her just to make her assume that I'm not taking stand for her, on the other hand I seek every possible chance to scold or punish choti maa and her friends for there behaviour towards kashi. I don't want her to think or take hopes high in this relationship.

She was coming slowly and sat infront me. I couldn't see full view of her face because of dim light. I stood up and sat beside her, i tried to grab her hand but she replaced it.

"You heard everything?" I whispered and she shooked her head.

"No, its just...got into my ears" she muttered and i smiled.

Everytime I Listen her  melodious voice it works on my anger like a shower on fire.
My anger was gone after hearing her cute excuse, with my tiny smile I sat down to her feet. She gasped by my action and said,

"Don't. You shouldn't sit by my feets" she said and tried to make me stood up.

I held her hands and brushed my lips on back of palm. She remained silent but I could hear a sob escaping from her mouth which made me internally scold choti maa.
