Anina's Pov

"but jokes apart Anina do you want me to stay in this room with you ?"
The moment he uttered these words a shiver ran through my body. His voice was calm yet there was a heaviness lingering which was enough to scare me.
I gulped and looked at him.
I wanted to say so many things but I couldn't.
I stared deeply in his eyes while saying "Yes Sultan I want you to stay with me"
My heart was beating very fast when I saw him smirking at my statement.
"Aap humsa mohobat karna lagi Hai kya ?" ( Have you fallen in love me with or what ?)
My eyes widened the moment these words slipped from his mouth.
By now I am a mess to be specific a blushing mess.
I wanted the earth to swallow to me so that I can hide and get out of this situation.
I abruptly stood up from his lap to which he raised his one eyebrow and clicked his tongue
Uggggghhhhhhhhh this man !!!!
For my previous actions I responded by saying "W....wo....woh hu..Huma jana hoga ka.m...Kam Hai hame" ( Ac.....Actually....Actually I hav.....have to go, I ha...have work)
After hearing this he loosened his grip and without looking at him or thinking anything else I just ran from there.
While exiting the room I heard his chuckles coning from the background and unintentionally a smile formed in my lips as well.

Sultan Aayan's pov

When she said that she wants me to stay with her in the same room a smirk formed on my lips.
I was happy actually very happy to see that she was being expressive and vocal about her wants as well as needs.
We were so close that I was able to hear her heartbeat clearly.
I was happy to see my effect on her.
I love when I am the reason of her increased heartbeat.
So to tease her more I said "Aap humsa mohobat karna lagi Hai kya ?" ( Have you fallen in love me with or what ?)
As the words slipped out of my mouth I saw her eyes widening.
To be honest I was enjoying the scene infront of me a lot.
I could see her cheeks and ears turning red.
Then suddenly she took me off guard by abruptly getting up from my lap.
I raised one of my eyebrow and clicked my tongue in irritation because I did not wanted her to leave me.
"W....wo....woh hu..Huma jana hoga ka.m...Kam Hai hame" ( Ac.....Actually....Actually I hav.....have to go, I ha...have work)
She uttered in pure nervousness.
I was about to say something when she suddenly turned around and just ran from there without looking back.
I shook my head and smiled at her clumsiness and cuteness.
Then I got up from the bed and departed to meet the nawabs.

In the meeting room

"As-Salam-u-Alaikum Sultan" ( greetings to you Sultan ) said Nawab while getting up as soon as he saw me coming.
"wa- alaikum- assalam Nawab Ismail" ( greetings to you too Nawab Ismail) I wished him back.
I then gestures him to sit and I too sat infront of him.
"Toh janab aaga ki kya Yojana Hai? Hind ka saath milka Rathore Sultanate pa hamla karna Hai ki nahi?" (So what's the plan ahead? What are we gonna do? Are we attacking the Rathore Sultanate with Hind or not?)asked Nawab Ismail.
"Ha Hamla toh karna Hai Paar abhi nahi. Hamare aadesh ka intezaar kijiyaga aap" (yes we will for sure attack the Rathore's but not right now wait for my instructions)
I uttered while gritting my teeth.
I so wanted to destroy the Rathore Kingdom and I will for sure do that.
I know I have married Anina but I cannot forget what those Rathore's did to my family.
The ruined my family and I can never forgive them for that.
I was thinking all this to myself when suddenly Nawab Ismail called me "Janab kaha ghum hogaye aap ?" ( Where are you lost?)
"Nothing I was just engrossed in some thoughts related to work but anyways let's go with what I said" I replied back while still somewhere or the other being engrossed in my thoughts.
"Okay" said Nawab Ismail.
We then started taking about further matters related to the attack.

Anina's Pov

"ANINA-ANINA" called my mother-in-law from the dinning are.
I was cooking sheer korma but as soon as she called me I left what I was doing and went to her running hurriedly.
"Hamare kamra sa hamari dawai leke aaye Zara" (go and bring my medicines from the room) she said to which I quickly nodded and rushed upstairs to get her medicines while lifting my lehenga with one hand as it was too heavy
While I was rushing through the corridors suddenly the lehenga got entangled with my leg and as it was big and heavy I couldn't handle it and I knew I would trip so I quickly closed my eyes tightly. I was ready to feel the pain which was to be cases because of falling.
But when even after 5 minutes I did not feel any pain I muttered in a shock " Haaye bhagwaan ji shukriya aapka ki aapna hame Bacha liya"
(Thank you so much God for saving me)
"Ha ha bilkul iska bhi quadardani aap apna khuda ko hi de dijiya" ( Yes , Yes go ahead and give the appreciation of Saving you to also to your God) said a husky voice and ofcourse it can be no one other than my dear husband.
I mentally slapped myself for saying my thoughts out loud.
"Ab aap kholengi apni aankh ki aap chahti Hai ki hum apko aasa hi pakra rahe ?" ( now will you open your eyes or you want me to hold you like this forever?)
Hearing this I slowly started opening my eyes.
The first thing I saw was his eyes which were so beautiful that I wanted to drown myself in them.
Day by day I am just coming closure to him.
When he is around I feel safe and secured.
The way he is holding onto me even right now gives sensation of goosebumps to my whole body.
"Meri Jaan kya aapka ghurna khatam hua ki aapko hame aur dekhna Hai?" ( My love are you done staring or you want to stare me more?) He said coming closer to my ears. To be honest nothing mattered to me at that point but the word "Jaan" which he used for me.
My face turned red because of blushing but still I managed to keep my calm and said while stuttering "Woohh....wo...woh hu....hum aapko ghu.....ghur nahi rahe tha" (I.......I wa....was not st......staring at you)
I don't know why but whenever I am with him I end up stuttering for some reason.
He was about to say something when suddenly we heard a voice coming from behind "Ya Allah yeh sab kya dekhna padh raha hai hame" (O God what all I have to see nowadays)
It was my mother in law's voice.
He immediately yet very carefully left my hand and said nonchalantly  "Anina girna Wali thi toh hum baas uski madad kar rahe tha"  (Anina was about to fall so I was just helping her)
"Ha ha bilkul bilkul ab iski hi toh madat karenge aap kyunki sirf aapko aapki Begum Jo dikhti hai aaj kal aur Anina tumsa ek kaam nahi hota kya ? Saman lana bola tha kaha hai woh?" (yea yea ofcourse ofcourse you will only help her because nowadays  you only care for your wife and Anina you, can't you do a single work? I told you to bring my stuff where is it ?) She said with anger filled in her voice.
"Am....Ammi ham baas Lana hi ja rahe tha. Hum aata Hai leke" (Mo...Mom I was just going to get that only. I am quickly going and getting it) I said and was about to go when her statement made me halt my actions.
"Ammi? Humna toh tumha Ijazat nahi diya huma Ammi bolna ka." (Mom? I never gave you the permission to call me Mom)
She said and I have nothing to say honestly.
I was just blank. I know she hates me and I should have been careful everything is my fault.
I was thinking all this when suddenly I felt a touch on my hand.
I looked down only to see my husband interlocking his hand with mine.
I looked up at him in confusion when he said in a very loud voice "SHE IS MY WIFE AND NOT SOME SLAVE IN THIS HOUSE. IF SHE CANNOT CALL YOU MOM THEN I DON'T THINK SHE SHOULD BE DOING THE EITHER ALSO I DON'T WANT ANY DISCUSSION REGARDING THIS"
My mother in law was about to say something when he dragged me from there without listening to what she had to say.
We were passing through the corridors when suddenly a voice heavy enough to cause shiver in my body came to my ears.
"Sultan Aayan Asfaq Khan" called the unknown voice.
I felt his hand which was gripping my hand getting tighter.
When I turned myself to face the unknown voice I was shocked to see.........
