Priyadarshini's POV:
His entire confession was still buzzing in my mind. I can feel butterflies in my stomach. My cheeks turned red when he confessed.
I still can't believe that he confessed his love. He proposed to me! I thought maybe he liked me but he actually loved me. Just like I did.
After a journey of a few hours, we came back to the palace. I entered the palace by holding Rana Sa's hand.
I saw Rana Sa's Dadi Sa coming toward us and I hid behind Rana Sa.
What if she slaps me just like Mira? Or insults me like Rana Sa's mother? But how long would I hide from them?
Dadi Sa came and Rana Sa gestured for me to stand beside him. Unwillingly I stood beside him and Dadi Sa held my chin and I let a deep breath.
"Waise aapki pasand badi achhi hai, Rana Sa. Manna padega. Thik hai, koyi baat nahi agar yeh koyi Raj ghar k nahi hain toh parr haa agar mere pote k bahu bann k rehna chahte hoo toh pati k seba zaroor karna padega."
(Well your choice is very good, Rana Sa. I will have to accept it. Okay, it doesn't matter if she is not from a Royal family but if you want to stay here as my grandson's wife then you will have to serve your husband for sure.)
She said looking at my face and I looked at my feet as I couldn't look into her eyes due to fear. I understood that he told her about me and she said all this to me. So I slowly nodded my head.
She welcomed us by doing our puja with Royal puja plates. I felt so different as I'm new to these.
Then both of us entered Rana Sa's chamber. I looked around the chamber. I missed it a lot.
Suddenly my eyes caught something and I became shocked. I saw a huge painting of me beside the bed.
I was dressed in a white lehenga and I was looking at something smilingly. Is it me? This looks like me.
"Par mein toh itna khubsurat nahi hu. Yeh tasbir kisne banaya hai waise?" I murmured to myself and I felt a familiar hand around my waist.
(But I am not that beautiful. Who made this picture by the way?)
"Yeh maine banaya hai, Rani Sa." He said while brushing his lips on my shoulder.
(I made this, Rani Sa.)
"Aaahhh, Rana Sa. Waise aapko tasbir banana bhi ata hai? Sach me yeh aapne hi banaya hai?"
(By the way, do you know how to draw pictures? Did you really draw this one?)
I told him as I was surprised by knowing his another talent. He then smiled and nodded his head.
"Tum snankaksh jao aur naha k aao. Hum ak sath beth k khana khayenge." Saying this, he kissed my forehead and went outside the chamber.
(You go to the bathroom and take a bath. We will sit together and have dinner.)
I somehow felt bad. How can he leave me like this? I thought he would take a shower with me. Then I looked around for my trunk but didn't find that.
I heard a noise at the door and looked behind. "Meenuuu..." I screamed and hugged Meenu.
"Kaise hai aap, Rani Sa?" She asked me and I slapped her on her head. "Pagli kahiki...Dii bol mujhe."
(How are you, Rani Sa?)
(Crazy girl...call me 'sister'.)
She looked at me shockingly and said, "Nahi nahi, warna Rana Sa toh mujhe marr hi dalenge."
