Rajlaxmi Pov: 

A month has passed since our wedding happened. I was genuinely enjoying my day here, which I didn't expect earlier. I earlier thought that I would sleep every night by forcing myself to not cry but it was completely opposite. 

In this month I started loving everyone and everything around me, but I am still not sure about prince. My bond became powerful with Devar ji. We had many similarities, and I loved his company. Our relationship wasn't just of in-laws but turned into of friends. I would spend my evenings with him while listening to his jokes and sometime the mockery he used to do about others. 

King and Maata also were taking great care of me. They showered me so much love that it became deniable to hate this place. Maata made me feel the love of a mother again and king didn't saw me less than his own daughter. Even my opinions were now considered in political matters even before I became the queen. Maata was already helping me to learn the responsibilities of the Queen that I had to fulfill in future. 

The most shocking thing was that I had now become like friends with prince. In these moments I noticed all his efforts to make it up to me again. He had been revolving around me since our talk on that day. In these days I realized that if he was trying then I had to try to. I loved him and still love him, but I need to trust him again. 

Afterall, even this world does not work without trust so, how will we? 

In the daytime he would always be busy with the political work but at night he would always come to me. We started eating together at least once in a day, either in the morning or at night. We even started sleeping peacefully on the same bed. In the starting I was against this. If he would not sleep on the couch, then I would and sleep on it, but he would forcefully pick me up and then lay me on the bed and make me sleep with him. After few nights I myself gave up against this monster's stubbornness. 

He had now started addressing me as moon. When I asked why he addresses me like that, he said 'If moon won't be most special and closest to the next king of Chandragarh then what?'. I would always stare at him confused when he used to tell me this. Does that mean he calls all our family members moon? 

At night we would either sit silently alongside each other in a strange peace or we would be discussing about politics or casual talks or small arguments which were strangely fun but not tensing. 

But past few nights we have not been talking. He would always come back to our chamber looking extremely tired and would just rest his head in my lap and sleep. After he would sleep, I would also sleep with him beside him. But I knew he was tensed about something. And very tensed. I would find him constantly sighing to himself when working in documents.

Today is also the one of the same nights. The moon was shining brightly, and I couldn't help but admire it while sitting on the bed and waiting for my husband to come. Today I already had my dinner without him as he had it with ministers and king. 

Like any other night, I was wearing a comfortable saree meant for nighttime. It was purely of cotton and of white color with silver border. The blouse had no shoulder because as blouse I only had a white cloth tied securely yet comfortably around my breast's area. My hairs were tied into rough bun and I was not wearing any extra jewels. Just toe rings, nuptial necklace, Maan tilak, and few bangles. With him around I didn't care to put on veil with the long pallu. I don't even remember how this happened in this month. 

The room was dimly lit by only few oil lamps and chandelier. Suddenly the big metallic door of the entrance of our chamber opened and he came inside. As always, he looked tensed. He closed the door behind him and threw the overcoat on the table.
