Albelo Raj (Rajasthani story)

Chapter-6

'Hi Shri.. Rudra here.' I was shocked. I was not able to reply for a few minutes. 'Hey u there?' He said again. I gathered some courage and reply 'umm hello' 'how are you?' He asked 'ahh good.. you?' I completed the formality. 'Nice' he answered. ' I know u might be nervous and honestly so am I, I never knew I would be so nervous talking to someone' he chuckled toh which I laughed slightly seeing his honesty. 'Umm Shree.. can I ask you something?' He said. 'Of course.. please' I replied. 'Are you happy with the alliance? I mean if you have someone else in your life you can say me, I promise I would take the whole blame for whatever will happen after that' he said and I was shocked and happy listening to this first question. He cared for me even before knowing me gave me feeling for him. 'No.. I don't have anyone in my life and yes I'm happy because Maa papa and dadisa all are happy with the alliance' I replied. I heard a sigh on that side. 'Okay' He said 'so you are happy just because they are happy?' He sounded a bit disappointed. 'Well before this call that was the only reason but now I think I'm happy myself after talking to you' I replied after almost 2 minutes gathering so much courage and as soon as I said that I felt like putting my head inside earth so that no one could see me, I felt damn shy. I heard a soft laugh that side. I then asked him if he have anyone in life to which he said 'I didn't had anyone in my life before calling you but now I have Mrs Shree Rudra Rathore' and I was all red hearing my name being called with his. 'So will you go for a date with me wifey?' He asked and I was shocked hearing him call me wife. 'Wifey?' I asked back. 'Yes you are my wife now' he said 'I'm your fiancé' i said. 'For world you might be my fiancé, but for me you are my wife' and I felt so happy listening that. 'So date wifey?' He asked back. 'Umm how can I say that, u know it's not allowed in our culture to meet before marriage' I put forward my thoughts. 'But I want to meet you, see you and know you in this 1.5 months' he said. 'For that you have to asked papa for permission, I can't come hiding it from him' I said. 'Okay, I'll take permission from him' he said. 'Okay' I replied. 'Bye.. see you soon.. wifey' he said teasingly. 'Bye good night' I replied back.

Rudra's pov
After having dinner, I called the number I received from Aradhna. I was hell nervous and my heartbeat raised with every ring of phone. I took hell amount of time for her to recieve call. Before she could be able to speak anything, I spoke and said him my name. She didn't spoke anything for a minute. I thought she cut my call but I asked again if she was there and she said yes. I asked her how she was and she asked me back. I was so nervous and I knew she too was nervous and so I said that so that she feels lighten up. Honestly I was never this nervous. Then I asked her the question for which I called her at the first place and when she said she don't have anyone in her life, I realesed the breath I was holding, I felt so so happy hearing this. It was like I gained some victory. She then asked me back if I have someone in life to which I said I didn't had anyone before but now I have one Mrs Shree Rudra Rathore and I could feel her shyness then I asked her if she would go on a date with me, I called her wifey. She said that she was my fiancé and not my wife to which I said she was my fiancé for the world but for me she was my wife and she was happy hearing that. It was more like an assurance to her. I asked for date again and she said she can't go as it was against our culture but I really wanted to meet her so she told me to ask her father and I said that I'll ask him. I bid her good bye again stretching the word wifey and she replied back. I then lyed on my bed smiling and after a long time I went to deep slumber.
