Amrita's pov:-

There is definitely something wrong with me and I can't stand it anymore.
Everytime I try to focus on my work, those black eyes always haunt me. Not even in my dreams, can I be free from those charcoal black eyes. I am tired. I don't want to remember anything or anyone from that palace and especially not the king but I just can't help it.

And maa, ever since she came back from the palace, she is hella furious for some reason and constantly starts panicking for some unknown reason. Whenever I try to talk to her, she either avoids me or just says to take care of myself as she is worried someone might snatch me away from her. I won't let that ever happen and she knows that herself but still, she has quite less talkative also from few days.

"You ready?"

"Yes, just a second."

"Fast"

I hurriedly wore my jhumka and my sandals and after adjusting my skirt a bit, I looked myself in the mirror for the last time and my bright blue georgette lehenga with pink oft net dupatta with deep thread work on sides and my minimal makeup of Kohl and powder with my heavy looking jhumka, looked presentable I guess?

I usually don't get ready like this but the main problem is-"Amrita get ready properly, the family is coming to see you today."

Maa has found a family who agreed to marry his youngest son to me and they desire to see me for the final decision. And not only that but today is also that day.

"Amrita!!!!"

"Thoda dheere bol, Geeta." (Keep your volume down)

"Haan, haan, main wo keh rhi thi.........(Looking at her from head to toe)" (Yeah yeah, I was just saying)

"Bol...?" (Say?)

"Yrrr.......tu sach me kisi apsara se kam nhi lag rhi h......" (Gosh, you are looking like an angel right now.)

"Haan, Chadha di channa ka jaddh me?" (Yeah, joke was funny.)

"Aree nhi re........sach me, ye buri baat h ki main ladki hoon warna tere se vivah to main hi karti......" (No, like really, it's bad that I am a woman or else I would have married you.)

(.....)

"Ab achanak se kya hua? Tera muh kyun ban gaya?" (Now what happened? Why such a face?)

"Geeta, mujhe vivah nhi karna h." (I don't want to marry.)

"Ohh.......ab isme main kya hi bol sakti hoon, tumhari maa ke aage ghutne take doon?" (What can I say in this matter? Should I go on my knees in front of her?)

"Tum karogi kya?" (Hopefully) (You will?)

"Hey bhagwan, ye ladki, dekho sharm bhi nhi aa rhi h apni sakhi ko aeisa bolte hue." (God, look at her. She doesn't have any ounce of shame saying something like this to her best friend.)

"Achaa thik wo sb chodd, tu kya bol rhi thi pehle?" (Okay, leave all that, what were you saying before?)

"Aree haan, teri sundarta ke chakkar me bhool hi gayi." (Oh yeah, I forgot due to your beauty.)

(Rolls her eyes)

"Waise tu to sundar h hi par aaj gaon bhi bahut sundar lag rha h, bahar aake dekh Zara. Sab taraf diya sajay gaye h, kapde se peddo ko sajaya gaya. Sach me, aaj ki nritya utsav me bahut maja aayega." (As it is that you are beautiful but the village is also looking beautiful today. Come outside and look at it. Everywhere, the diyas have been kept, trees are decorated with colourfull clothes. Really, today's dance party is going to be fun.)
