ISHWASA : His warrior Begam

17. DO YOU WANT TO MARRY ME??

I jerked my head towards him and found everyone looking at him with same expressions. It was so out of blue. It was not only me who was shocked, Maharani, both the prince and my Ammi jaan too had same reaction.

I looked at Ishwasa who was looking at me with those innocent eyes. My heart again skipped a beat when my eyes met her. I wonder if she know how to cast a spell. Just her one glance and I am done. My mind stop processing and my heart grow up brain of his own.

But, How could I marry her; she is so young for the responsibilities that will come with this marriage.

"But she is not even 16 and this is too early for marriage and all the household responsibilities. She have to handle queenly responsibilities too." Ammi jaan spoke on behalf of me.

"I know Begam sahiba. We are more concerned than you but think from our perspective too. Leaving our young daughter here without any relation, that too in Shahenshah's chamber, it does not seem correct in any way. The foul words are already being used for her and if we let her stay here more like this then we will not be able to handle the rumours. Then after becoming the Queen too, she will not be given that  deserving respect," Maharaj spoke again.

"But we can find another way too. I think we should give her some time, atleast till she recover completely." Ammi jaan spoke again. I was agree with her but somewhere the excitement to marry her was more.

"The marriage thing does not seem right to me as well begam sahiba but Maharaj is also correct at his place. We can not left her here like this. We all know that this time Maharaj's threat worked because Shahenshah was too with us but everytime we will not be able to shut their obscene mouths." It was Maharani this time.

"But how can we marry her in such situation. We will definitely find any other way. This marriage will not happen this soon." Prince Aryaveer spoke in angry voice. He can not stand but sit for now.

Shourya veer came forward and gently pulled Ishwasa to his side who was still in my embrace till now," Gudiya hamare sath chaliye. Dekhiye ham hai, arya bhaisa hai, baapusa hai, maasa hai or ham yaha se bhi le chalenge jisko aap kahegi... ham aapko kuchh nahi hone denge, aapko vishwas hai na hampe?" He asked her. The tears streaming down her eyes and she nodded.

"Then will you come with us to our kingdom?" He asked expectantly. Ishwasa just cried in his arms. She was way too afraid. 

He just hugged her tightly and tear drops escaped his eyes. He caressed her for a while and then broke the hug saying," Marrying her is right decision."

His father patted her shoulder and caressed Ishwasa's head.

The love, the adoration, the care, everything was so evident from their gestures.

"Begam sahiba, we generally wed our daughters in this age only so there will not be any problem. I was just taking her with me so that she could get cured first and then I wanted to come on my own for the marriage thing but now if you want to let her stay here then this is the best option." He said to ammi jaan.
