45. Childhood Flashback.

Nayantara's pov

As the familiar morning unfolded, with the gentle rise of the sun and the cheerful melodies of chirping birds, an air of anticipation hung in the atmosphere. However, there was an undeniable shift in the usual rhythm of the day. The people who always carried out their tasks with quiet diligence now moved with a newfound sense of urgency. Everybody were making sure to perform their work efficiently, leaving no room for any mistakes.

Today was the coronation ceremony.

I gazed into the mirror, captivated by the reflection staring back at me. It was none other than myself, perched on a chair, adorned in a striking ensemble of deep red and green attire, embellished with beautiful golden accents. My hair cascaded around my shoulders, still slightly damp from the refreshing bath I had just taken. A natural beauty adorned my face, untouched by any makeup, and I was not wearing any jewelry, allowing my radiance to shine through effortlessly.

Attendees were surrounding me helping me to get ready for the big day.

Amidst the external chaos, an equally tumultuous storm raged within me. Inner peace eluded my mind, while my eyes showed a lot of insecurities and fears. Despite my outward appearance of calmness, an internal storm of chaos consumed me.

I was not at ease from last few days since I learned that certain kingdoms were plotting against Rajgarh. They were making plans because they did not want Anirudh to become king. Furthermore, the fact that Tausa was not in Rajgarh indicated that he was also planning something.

I tried to talk to Anirudh from the past few days, and on numerous occasions, I considered telling him the truth about Tausa and everything else. However, I paused because I was afraid that he might not believe me. Second, I didn't had the ideal opportunity to tell him everything since he was too busy because of the coronation ceremony.

Despite my efforts to make time for Anirudh, the sudden onset of the coronation ceremony caught us off guard. The upcoming event left little room for personal conversations, leaving me with fleeting moments of tranquility with him.

Even though I knew he had a lot of responsibilities on his shoulders but I still craved to talk to him and spent some quiet time with him. I wanted to share my inner feelings to him, wanting to tell him about my insecurities and fear. I wanted him to assure me about everything, wanted him to tell me that he would always be there for me. Standing beside me through thick and thin.

I knew I was overthinking but I wanted reassurance so that my heart could rest at peace.

"Princess, I have taken out everything you need to get ready."

Suddenly, I heard a voice of attendee as I looked at her. My gaze went towards the jewels and the things which I needed for to get ready.

"Now stop calling her Princess, she is going to be the Queen of Rajgarh. So you guys better adapt the habit of calling her queen."

Kumud's words caught my attention. And suddenly, my hands started trembling, my heart started beating fast. I felt sweat beads on my forehead. My breath started getting ragged.

What was happening to me?

I immediately stood up and held the table for support, Calling out for Kashmira.

"Kashmira, Kashmira."

I looked at Kashmira coming in the dressing area, her hands holding my another dupatta. I immediately went towards her as she held me instantly.

"What happen Nayantara?"

She asked in concerned voice after seeing me.

"Hamein Anirudh se milna hai, abhi."
