Anina's pov

" Aap shayad yeh bhul rahi Hai Ammi ki hum yaha ka Sultan Hai toh hamari begum yaha ki Sultana hogi aasa dekhe toh. Aur inki izzat sab ko Karni hogi log chahe ya na chahe." ( I think you are forgetting Mom that I am the King of this place and by default, my wife is the Queen so please will have to respect her even if they don't want to)
The moment Sultan said these words my heart skipped a beat.
My eyes looked at him with respect in them.
He held my hand and took me inside the Palace with him.
There were guards inside the Palace.
We passed through a huge hallway and then reached to an empty part. Not even a single person was there.
My heart started beating very fast.
"Anina, if you have anything to ask, then do so rather than staring ", Sultan said, making me come out of a trance. I gathered some confidence and asked him
" How do you know that I want to ask something? "
He stopped in his way abruptly and then turned towards me.
He held me by my hand and pulled me closer to him with his one hand on my waist.
His dark orbs were giving me goosebumps all over my body. He then said " Aapki yeh aankhe woh sari cheez bol deti Hai Jo aap alfaz mein nahi bol Pati Hai aur humsa aacha inn Ankho ko koi nahi padh sakta Hai" ( your eyes are so expressive that they say everything even those things which your mouth cannot and trust me only I can understand what your eyes want to say )
The moment he completed his speech I looked at him in the eyes to know if it was love or sympathy.
His orbs were so dark that nothing was visible. The ray of light which I thought I would see in his eyes was not there.
"Kya dekh rahi Hai aap Begum Sahiba ? Agar aap hamari aankho mein ummed dhund rahi Hai toh woh aapko nahi milega kabhi bhi"
( why are you looking at me like that my Queen? If you are searching for hope in my eyes then trust me you'll never find that ever)
He said while staring into my eyes.
"Aur woh kyu ?" ( why is that so ? )
I asked as it made me feel icky as to why there was no ray of hope.
"You'll know that very soon ." He said and then proceeded to walk forward towards an unknown chamber.
I followed him like a lost puppy.
We both entered the chamber and I looked at Sultan with a nervous look on my face.
"Aaj sa yeh hamara kamra Hai" (from today onwards it's our room)
He said looking at me.
"Ji toh hum kaha rahenge?" (So where will I stay ?)
I questioned him.
"Humna abhi bola ki yeh hamara Kamra Hai aur waise bhi aap hamari Begum Hai toh uss hisab sa yeh aapka bhi Kamra hua " (I just now said it's our room and moreover you are my wife now so in that sense this is your room as well now)
He said with a warm smile.
Hearing this my face automatically blushed.
I was happy that though my marriage was not the way I wanted it to be but at least the person I was married to is actually a very genuine person.
I gave him a quick nod and was about say something when suddenly a knock at the chamber door occurred.
"Ijazat Hai " ( you are allowed)
Said Sultan and I realized how his voice turned dark.
Hearing his allowance the attendees came in and said "As-Salam-u-Alaikum Sultan hum Begum ki Madad ka liya aaye hai" (Greetings to you Sultan we have come here yo help the Queen )
Sultan gave them a quick nod and the looked at me while saying " aap aram Kariya hum thori der mein aate Hai" (Queen you rest I'll come in a while )
He said and went out of the room.

Sultan Aayan's pov

"Begum aap aram Kariya hum thori der mein aate Hai " I said and went out of the room.
While I was walking through the corridor the only thought in my head was of Anina's.
'Do I like Anina ?
Why do I feel so attached to her ?
Will she ever like me back?
And
Why do I feel weak whenever I look into her eyes ?
What she is hiding from me ?'
There were so many questions going on in my head but funfact I had answers to none of them.
I don't know why do I feel so attached to her when I have just barely known her?
"Sultan kya soch Rahe Hai aap ?" (Sultan what are you thinking?)
I suddenly came out of my trance hearing someone's questioning voice and my blood boiled. Who the hell dares to question me ? I turned back and was about to snap at the one questioning me when I realized it was none other than my Daima. She is the one only who cared and loved me for the very childhood. She is more than my mother. She did what my mom failed to do for me.
"Daima kuch nahi baas hum Anina ka baare mein soch Rahe tha" (Nothing Daima I was just thinking about Anina)
I said looking at her.
"Hmm woh toh hama bhi Pata Hai. Aapki aankho mein dikhta Hai ki aap ussa pasand karta Hai Sultan" ( Hmm that tou I know. It's every evident in your eyes that you like her)
"Aasa kuch nahi Hai Daima baas hama unki chinta Hai aur ussa bhi zyada ab unki izzat hamari bhi izzat Hai aur wasa bhi aap toh janti Hai na Ammi ko woh humsa apni baat manwana ka liya kuch bhi Kar sakti Hai aur woh chahti thi ki hamara Nikah Sabira sa ho aur na ki Anina sa" ( It's nothing like that Daima it's just that I am worried about her and more than that her reputation is now my reputation and anyways, you know how mom is she will do anything inorder to make me agree to her words and she wanted me to marry Sabira and not Anina )
I said trying to explain to her my actual concern .
"I know everything but you know before anything she is your mother. Have some faith in her also we care for the ones we love. For now don't think too much and just treat your wife like a Queen. You have to be the best husband for your wife because she needs support now as she is completely new here and even there is a change in religion as well so now it's your job to make her feel at ease" said Daima touching my cheeks lovingly.
"Yea Daima don't worry I will. I will treat her like a Queen and anywaysI have to show the world that I was raised by the best women in the whole entire world that is YOU. I will not let you down." I said smiling and absolutely meaning each and every word I said.
To which she smiled and said " I trust you. By the way, do you want anything ?"
"Yea actually I need some food because Anina has not eaten anything so I came out for food " I said scratching my neck.
She just smiled to my statement and called for one of the attendee "Nabila Sultan ka kamra mein unka aur begum ka liya khana de diya Jae jald sa jald" ( Nabila go and serve food at Sultan's room for him and his wife as soon as possible.)
The attendee bowed and went to get food.
I nodded at her and said with a smile "Shaba bakhair " ( Good night )and started walking towards my room.
I entered my chamber and saw her sitting on the bed with a veil on.
I walked towards her and sat on the edge of the bed.
Her eyes were constantly looking down at her feets.
There was innocence dripping down her face.
"Why didn't you change ?" I asked looking at her.
"Wo.....woh hama yehi kapde phehna ko bola gaya Hai" ( act....actually this is what I was told to wear )
"Inn kapdo mein aapko dikat hoga jaeya aur kuch halka Dal lijiya" ( you will have problem with these clothes so go and wear something light. )
She slowly looked up and then started getting off the bed.
She timidly got off and walked out of the bed and started slowly walking towards the changing room.
I saw her walking and immediately a smile appeared on my face.
I also got off and undid my kurta.
Then I sat on the couch and started completing some of my pending work.
It was around 15 minutes when I heard the changing room door opening.
My eyes got gued to the door when I saw Anina coming out.
She was wearing a light yellow coloured kurta which had elegant prints on it .
Her long and silky hair was tied into a messy bun.
She was not wearing any of her jewelleries expect the rose ring , toe ring, anklet and the bangles.
Her hazel coloured eyes had Surma on which made her look like an absolute goddess.
I was admiring her beauty when suddenly I heard a knock on the door which made me groan internally.
"Come in " I said and two attendees entered with food.
They kept the food and then went out from there.
I saw Anina standing there looking at her wedding bangles.
"Do you want to eat or you will just Stand there ?" I asked her in a teasing manner.
She lifted her eyes and looked at me with horror.
I raised my eyebrow in a questioning manner and she seemed to be getting more terrified .
I clicked my tongue getting annoyed and said " Anina aapko shayad khana nahi Hai lekin Khuda Kasam huma bohot bhook lagi Hai toh aaiya aur hamara paas baitheya" ( Anina you might not be hungry but God Swear I am extremely hungry so now come and sit beside me )
I said and saw her timidly walking towards me.
She came and stood infront of the couch.
She stood there for a couple of minutes and then looked at me.
I again raised my eyebrow to which she gulped and sat down beside me timidly.
