It's felt so good to get the dirt and sweat off me after a long day , wrapped in towel I went to the closet which divya ma was telling me about and pulled out a night gown .

When I got downstairs, Harsh Uncle , Omkara and Divya was setting the table . "Oh you look so much glowing now" Divyama said coming over to pinch my cheeks . "Thank you" I said while rubbing my cheeks . "Come Gauri , sit" Haresh uncle said motioning over me .
I sat down on the other side of table , next to Omkara . "So how long have you two been together?" Harsh uncle asked taking potato gravy from the plate , turning bright red Omkara responded "We are not together, we are just traveling" "Okay , sure you are" Harsh uncle said while winking to us . "Oh stop it harsh , when they are ready they will tell us" Divyama said .
"No, we really aren't together" I said . "Don't get me wrong , Omkara is sweet , good looking and most importantly he is someone who knows to respect a woman but after what happen at the palace the last I want right is another man in my life. "Oh you are serious, well -
There was a knock on the door and Harsh Uncle got up to answer it , the conversation travelled into kitchen. "Yes May I help you sir?" Harsh uncle asked.
"Good evening , we are here looking for princess , have you seen her ?" And I could hear crumpling of paper. "Ummm , no , nope , no one here looks like that".
"Thank you for your help , if you happen to see the princess , make sure to bring back to palace with the servant". and that was the last of the conversation . Walking back to the room "So would like to explain yourself princess?" Harsh uncle said . "I'm a deeply sorry, but you have to understand I never meant to lie" I said pleadingly. "We don't care you lied, we just wanted to know why?" Divyama asked while putting her caring hand on mine. " I was forced to marry some , abusive , arrogant man and I didn't want that so I did what I thought was the only thing which left to do , ran away .
"And I tagged along out of free will" Omkara said while looking down at his plate . "Well if in that case , we wouldn't want to go back and we couldn't blame you for that . You are welcome to stay here as long as you want but eventually you have to face your fate" Divyama said getting up clearing the table. "Thank you so much ma , I don't know what to say . You've been way too kind to me".
"You don't have to say any, it's what we do" she said turning away from me to go clean the dishes. "I think you two should go to bed , it's going to be busy day tomorrow" Harsh uncle said .
"What does he mean?" I asked Omkara when we were out of their view . "You haven't worked a day , in your whole life , have you? He asked . "You going to live here , so the least , you or I can do is help around"
"Help around?"
"Yeah , like cleaning the floors , help in the garden"
"Oh well , yes of course , it's the least we can do , since after what just happened"
