Anina's Pov

I woke up because of the chirping sound of the birds.
I slowly opened my eyes and looked at the clock. It was 5 am.
I was about to get out of the bed when suddenly I heard a knock on the door "Kaun Hai ?" ( who's this?) I asked in my sleepy voice
" Rajkumari sa hum Ha " ( princess it's me ) the attendee said out loud from outside of the room.
"Come in." I told her and she followed .
" Rajkumari sa aapko taiyaar Hona bola Hai Maharani Sa na thori der mein aapka vivah Hai" ( Princess you have been told to get ready by the queen. you're marriage will take place shorty) she said and left.
I was just sitting there with a straight face.
Why can't I just have a simple life like others ? this was the only thought that was lingering in my head.
somehow I still got out of the bed and went to get ready.
When I entered the dressing room there were more than 4 attendees present . I sat down in a chair Infront of me and then they started helping me with getting ready.

Sultan Aayan's pov

Yesterday the whole night I couldn't sleep properly as sleep is not for a person like me . I have ten thousand things to manage and now this marriage is another thing.
What will I tell Ammi ( Mom )?
I was thinking about all this when an attendee knocked on my door and said " Sultan thori der mein Apka vivah Hai aap taiyaar ho jaeya" ( Sultan the marriage is almost about to begin so please get ready )
she said and felt.
I sighed and went to get ready.
I wore a black coloured kurta.
It was simple yet elegantly pretty.
The patterns printed on it resembled the Rathore Kingdom.
I admired the Kurta
I then applied Surma (kohl) in my eyes and then wore a turban.
I looked at myself for the last time in the mirror and then walked towards the main hall.

Anina's pov

I stood Infront of the mirror looking at my reflection. I looked like a proper bride. I wore a heavy red coloured lehenga . That lehenga was of my mom's. I always wanted to wear my mom's lehenga on my wedding and apparently that dream was coming true.
My eyes had Kajal in them which was making them look sharp and beautiful.
My lips had a red coloured tinted lipstick on.
My long hair was tied in a bun and above that I had a red coloured Ghoonghat. ( the one people use for covering their head . In Rajasthan women still do that and not only Rajasthan but many other places).
I was admiring myself in the mirror when I heard someone cleared their throat which brought me back to my senses.
"bohot Sundar lag rahi ho Beti" ( you look very pretty my child ) my father said to which I smiled.
"chaliya vivah ka samay hogaya Hai aur ha vivah Muslim tareeka Sa hoga yehi Sultan Ki kamna Hai"
(Let's go it's already time for the marriage and the wedding will be in the Muslim way that's what the Sultan has wished for ).
my step mom said coming towards my room .
I stood up and then started walking towards the main hall.

~ time skips ~

I entered the hall and my eyes landed on the beautifully decorated walls. There were beautiful red and yellow flowers on the wall.
People from all over the kingdom were present.
A Qazi was also present.
I was turning my gaze here and there when it suddenly landed on Sultan who was wearing a black kurta. He had kohl in his eyes and had a well built body structure.
He was talking to a man and when he turned around our eyes met. I immediately looked down in embarrassment
My mom walked me on my side and made me sit. He was constantly looking at me and the only thing between us was the pardha which was kind of transparent.

Sultan Aayan's pov

I was talking to Rafiq for the arrangement of our departure immediately after marriage.
When I was done talking to Rafiq I turned my gaze and I was blown away by the thing which my eyes saw.
There stood by soon-to-be wife.
She wore a red coloured lehenga.
Her eyes had Kajal in them which can made any man's heart pound .
It seemed like God took a whole lot of time to make her.
She was looking extremely beautiful.
Any man can fall in love with her.
When she sat on the other side my I saw her stealing glances at me and whenever I looked she started looking down in embarrassment so , I decided that I would just tease her .
I was constantly looking at her and could see her becoming nervous whenever our eyes met.
After 10 minutes the Qazi Sahab started reading from the Muslim holy book Qur'an.
Then the Qazi Sahab made us exchange vows and asked her "Do you take Sultan Aayan Asfaq Khan as your husband?"
"yes I do " she said with a nervous voice.
"Sultan do you take Anina Singh Rathore as your wife ? "
"yes I do " I said to which the Qazi said "aap dono ko nikah Mubarak . Ab Anina Singh Rathore Sa aap Anina Aayan Khan hogae Hai" ( from now on both of you are husband and wife so congratulations for that and also now Anina Singh Rathore will be Anina Aayan Khan).
After the marriage the pardha was removed and I unveiled my wife. The moment I saw her closely my heart skipped a beat.
She had hazel coloured eyes and the moment I looked into her eyes I felt as if I was going to drown in them.
somehow I composed myself.
In my head the only thing which came out from my mouth unconsciously was "Mashallah ".
After realising what I did I just stepped back and went to talk to the guests present.

Anina's pov

I was extremely nervous the whole time because Sultan kept looking at me .
When Qazi Sahab asked me whether I agree to this marriage or not my heart became heavy. With trembling voice I said I do .
After that when Qazi Sahab asked him and when he said yes it was the first time I had ever heard his voice.
His voice gave me shivers and chills all over my body .
Then it was time to unveil me .
He came forward and started to unveil me.
The moment he took off the veil I was scared that he might not like the way I am because my step mom always told me that I don't look good.
I was lost in these thoughts when his words took me off guard
He uttered in a very low voice "Mashallah"
That was it . My heart started pounding very fast and I was damn sure that he could hear my heart pounding.
My cheeks had a blush on them.
Just with his mere words he can make my heart beat skip.
After that abruptly he stepped back and started talking to someone.

~ time skips ~

As soon as the time of the departure was coming closer. I started feeling uneasy.
I sat still in my place and started to tear up.
'I will have to leave this place' this realization hitted me out of nowhere.
I was extremely emotional.
I grew up here . I had such a good time playing in the galleries of this palace.
I was feeling thousands of emotions together.
The thought of messing up things in my in laws place haunted me as hell.
I was lost in my thoughts when I suddenly felt a touch in my shoulder.
The moment I turned I was shocked to see.........
