MIRAGE OF HEARTSTRINGS

SOLACE IN THE EMBRACE

IN SECOND ELDEST KAURAVA'S ROOM

"Rajkumari Hidimba"

"[SIGH] Ji?"

Funny or maybe idiotic to complain about it but there is certain someone here right now who is annoyed by this formal term "Dushasana!" When she has already gotten the privilege to call him informally and has given such privilege to him too.

"Hmm?"

"We are practically married and you still have to call me informally!!" The said Rajkumari screamed not knowing why he is looking at her with such astonishment until she realised her already said sentence.

"We are practically married-"

"Practically married-"

"Married-"

Does she? Did she recognise herself as married?

"Rajk- Hidimba?"

Ah........Even though the situation is created by her, she couldn't help but to look away while biting her lips, drawing it close to bleed until a gentle thumb pulled her lips from her teeth. She looked up at him whose eyes are saying millions of things but non recognisable or even if, she doesn't want to have false hope.

The thumb kept caressing her lips, making her quivering lips part as she suck deep breathe, the sound of pounding heartbeat echoing in the closed room but what made it stop, is him leaning down towards her.

Now their face are just an inch away. Their breathe mixing with each other, yet the thumb didn't left her lips instead his whole right hand came to care her cheek while she didn't break the eye contact with him.

"I have never felt like this" Vulnerability flying in the sentence yet he opened it to him and she.......?

"Arya" Feels like as if she has gained her heartbeat back as if it has started beating again but what about her breathe that she is taking yet is not enough to fill her lungs?

"Raj- Hidimba!" And if the moment didn't broke cause of dushasana as she whined, complaining "Arya, why you?" Not noticing the word she let out to address him but what she didn't realised is a small gentle smile on his face as he said out "I like it" taking her attention as she ask "huh?"

"I like it when you call me Arya"

This is the time in his whole life, he has ever seen a human practically becoming a tomato as he suddenly got pushed outside of his own room by the said tomato person who yell at him from inside "you aren't allowed to enter inside......today" after the locking the door from inside.

For a while he remained standing outside the room, astonished at his own actions before he covered his face from his arm, leaning against the door behind as he let out a deep sigh [HAH] before he whispered out "I apologise Rajkumari" while leaving from there.

Groaning while rubbing his face, dushasana mutter to himself "what in the world I am doing such insane things?" until his eyes caught the little opening of his eldest brother's office door, which is surprising considering either it has always been fully opened dor completely closed.

Slightly worried, he stepped towards the opening, peaking inside only to see his Jyeshthshree speaking about something and folding documents while his bhabhishree is looking at the said document, leaning from behind of her husband on her hand supported on his shoulder............... Realising he is invading their privacy, dushasana immediately went away from there but not before closing the door fully without noise as he rub his temple.

Sometimes he seriously forgets that his Jyeshthshree is also married.

"What should I do now?" The second eldest kaurava muttered to himself , glaring at the dark night as he again got reminded of the fact that he has been thrown out of his own room just a moment ago.
