Devi Avantika

°°Chapter 16- In His Arms°°

°°Avantika pov°°

After that night i didn't meet him for the past 1 week.... Suman is coming and going into my room....honestly now that i think about it i was wrong to be angry with suman... It's not her fault at all.......if I was in her place maybe i would have done the same... Its just me who was wrong... Who's not letting anyone enter into her life....who's only thought is how to die.....

For the past one week satyabhama and rukmini jiji always visited me.... They gave me my meal at my room only... Maybe they didn't want to force me to eat with everyone......im sure everyone must be thinking what kind of women i am who doesn't even show any interest to take care of her husband and his family........

But am i really his wife? Yes he did said that day that he is taking all 16100 women as his wife.... He did said that.... And everyone also took him as their husband but.....

Did i also took him as mine? Do you really see him as my husband? I can't help but think we didn't had any kind of marriage ritual or anything.... We didn't vow in front of the holy fire.... Nor do i wear anything like others that indicates me being a married woman....

Suman do wear red and other colours... She wear sindur and other things a married women should.... She ties her hair... And wear a churamani on the top.... I noticed this change 4 day's ago... And the only thought i had seeing her is she looks beautiful..and... happy.... May mahadev and mata parvati always keep her happy like this....

---------------------------------------------------

Its midnight right now and im wide awake... Its not like i don't want to sleep its just i cant sleep.... Those nightmares.... Those feelings are again getting a hold of me.... Its been six days since i cant sleep properly.. Today is no exception....

(sighed) i stood up from my bed... There's no way I'm getting any sleep tonight and this room...

Well it scares me... I didn't lit up the diyas because I thought that they are too much for me... But now that i see it... Im scared of darkness....

Did he knew that? Is that why he placed that many diyas in my room? Well it doesn't matter now as i already said no to the dasi who was trying to lit the diya's and now... Its too late to call and disturb someone just because im being immature and getting scared of the darkness....

I walked towards the door and slightly opened it and looked outside...... It's empty the hall is totally empty..... Its something new to me because when i was in narkasur's palace there were always guards everywhere even at night........

Its not like i hate this empty and neaceful hallways.......... Honestly i love it.... I can walk out anytime i want at night without anyone questioning me anything.....

I was soo busy admiring the view of the palace that I didn't realise how far i have came while walking..

Then suddenly something caught my eyes..... A pond in the middle of a garden like area.... Well they have way to many garden's so i don't know which one this is.... The pond water is shining in the moonlight.... It was nearly covered with lotus....

I couldn't help but walk towards the pond like a possessed person.... And unconditionally i dip my feet on the pond water and started to walk to the middle of it.... The pond is not deep at all... Its reaching till me waist... The water is cold but i feel good by it.... I cant help but touch the lotus flowers that is decorating the pond like jewellery's.....
