Echoes Of Love- An Ancient Love Story

The Question

Agastya's POV

A question suddenly came into my mind

"Uhm..Devika?"

"Jee"

"Ek baat poochun?"

"Jee puchiye" she looked at me

"Do you feel uncomfortable when I touch you in any way or when I'm close to you?.."

Her expressions changed.

Devika's POV

He asked me.

I don't know why but I felt a little hurt. However, I also knew that he might not want me to hide anything from him and specialty wen it's about my comfort.

I smiled softly and said

"Jab bhi aap humare paas hote hain toh humein bohot surakshit lagta hai. Aisa lagta hai Jaime iss dharti pe koi aisa hai hi nahin Jo humein chot pohoncha sakta hai. Aapke saath rehne mein humein apnapan mehsoos hota hai. Aur jahan tak baat rahi aapke humein choone ki toh..
Humein bilkul ajeeb nahin lagta. Humari shaadi beshak  jaldi hui ho lekin humein aap pe poora bharosa hai. Hum jante hain ki aap humare saath kabhi kuch galat nahin karenge."

I myself didn't know how I trusted him so much but the memory of him saving me from that evil king always made my heart ooze with respect and trust.

By the time I finished..tears streamed down my face and he wiped them with his fingers.

"Mujhe yeh jaanke bohot Khushi hui ki tum mere saath surakshit mehsoos karti ho...mein vaada karta hun ki yeh vishwas banaye rakhunga..hmm" and he cupped my cheeks softly.

He looked at me with a different emotion that I couldn't decipher. Then a knock interrupted us and he opened tge door.

It was Rooh and as she came, he went out.

"Toh kaisa lag raha hai aapko Mera bhai" she said and pulled my cheeks.

"Uhm..kya kar rahi ho tum hamari shakal ke saath" I whined.

"Arrey arrey..tsk koi toh shaadi kebaad Badal gaya" she faked a sad look and I giggled.

We talked for a really long time and then went to eat our food.

I also noticed that he is extremely hardworking. Guests keeping coming everyday but he doesn't miss any of his court meetings. I like this about him...too.

His mother is also so sweet. I feel so loved here and like i have known them since ages.

It is also so comfortable because I have my best friend with me who is more like a sister to me.

Like this, the sun started to set and it was evening in no time.

I was feeling so tired and my lower back was aching so much. I suddenly started to miss him. He takes care of me so well and now that he was in the meeting, I was missing him.

I knew I liked him for sure because who wouldn't. All the girls give me looks when they realise that he has married me..but I am so proud that I decided to marry him because he is the best.

I know I couldn't find anyone better than him..but does he like me too. Maybe not. I am so small and not than beautiful .

There are so many pretty girls that he could marry...why did he choose me?

I think I should not stress my tiny brain because this is making my headache. Periods are a little too tough this time.

I started missing him again! What is happening to me.

Tears collected in my eyes. When he helped me in the morning, I felt so comfortable despite the pinching pain b

But now that he is not by my side, I feel so..so lonely.

Even after spending so much time with Rooh, I still want to see him.

Tears streamed down my face without my knowledge and I saw him entering our chamber.

He rushed to my side

"What happened? Why are you crying? Is it the pain again? Tell m-"

And I hugged him tightly.

He froze gor a minute and I realised what I did..but I want to stay like this!

As I was about to leave him..he hugged me back.

Even tighter!

"Humein aapki yaad aa rahi thi" I murmured softly..almost inaudibly

He caressed my hair in response and we stayed like that for 5 minutes.

"Khana khaya?" He asked

"Nahin..apne?" I looked up at him with my chin on his chest.

"Nahin. Saath mein khaate hain" he smiled and kissed my forehead.

Tears blurred mu vision again seeing his affection. I don't know what's happening to me. Blame my hormones!

He wiped my tears without any questions. He clapped twice and rge attendee came with our food. She kept in on tge table and left the room.

We ate in silence and then we slept.

Agastya's POV

I don't think she realises that she scootes closer to me while sleeping..

I have no complained but I don't want her to be embarrassed when she gets to know this.

I smiled to myself seeing her babyish pout. I really really had this urge to bite it but I controlled myself.

The day was very special today for me. My dadi is visiting us. She lives in the village and rarely meets us, but when she does everything lights up.

I am so so excited to introduce her to my wife.

Stepping out of the bed, I freshened up and started my day.
