Twists Twirls Perils & Pearls

84. Coronation- of love

Swarnima was in love with her king. She was shy. She won't tell him nor will she look at him.
Abhedya kept sending signals but his reticent protector ignored him. Abhedya had seen her after a day and this girl was ignoring him. 'Fine!! Challenge accepted miss protector' Abhedya threw a challenge to himself.

The royal family with their protectors left for the legislative assembly. Swarnima was driving Abhedya along with two security guards in their car leaving no scope for romance. But, the new King was different. He was Romeo. He kept passing signals and comments to gain the attention of his 'flame' but failed miserably.

Swarnima was finding it hard to resist but she was angry too. Abhedya was strictly trained to behave and follow the code of conduct but it looked like the training was a total waste. They will become a topic of gossip if he kept this flirting going on.

When they entered the gates of the legislative assembly building Abhedya was escorted to a room where a dark blue three-piece Ermenegildo Zegna suit was ready for him to change. The cuffing of the suit was studded with diamonds. He wore his Montblanc time walker e-strap, black Oxford shoes, his favourite Gucci guilty intense, gelled his hair and he looked perfect.

Abhedya sat down on the chair and inhaled deeply. He had met the council several times but today he will be meeting other important ministers too and he was nervous. A knock on his door brought him out of his thoughts. He answered "come in" and Swarnima who changed into a similar dark blue Tom Ford pantsuit came in and asked, "are we ready kunwar sa?" Abhedya nodded without looking at her.

"Nervous?" Swarnima asked.
"Why do you care? You just ignore." Abhedya complained.
Swarnima smiled at the child in front of her. She scooted down so that she could look at him. 'Oh my!! He looks devilishly handsome. He is up for killing every single female out there.' Swarnima found it hard to not stop staring at him.
"You know I do care. You are the last person anyone can ignore. See..." Swarnima gave an iPad to Abhedya which showed the trend list on Twitter.

"Someone is trending," Swarnima commented standing up.

"This makes me more nervous. What if I don't live up to everyone's expectations? What if my impulsiveness destroys everything? What if..." Swarnima put her hand on Abhedya's lips to quiet him.

She made him stand up and said, "what if, you do wonders beyond everyone's expectations? What if, your impulsiveness channelises positive outcomes? What if, you just go there and conquer everyone's heart as you have always. Just trust yourself. If you can't do that... just trust me then. I have complete faith, trust and I lo.... umm... everything will be good." Swarnima was about to confess but it wasn't the correct time.

She opened the gate for Abhedya but he shut it back. He pinned her to the door, looked straight into her eyes and said,  "TRUST precedes LOVE and LOVE  is a fruit of FAITH. Right?" Swarnima nodded in 'yes'. "The only word missing in your dialogue today is LOVE!! You trust me, you have faith in me and you love me too. I know... those eyes tell me everything SONA." Abhedya smiled as he addressed his 'dulcinea' with her love name... SONA.
Swarnima could not stop the tear that rolled down but Abhedya caught the pearl that was about to hit the ground near her chin. She smiled at his antique. "Swarnima... come in..."
the walky-talky was buzzing.
"Panda is ready... over"
"Alert mode on... Panda on his way... over and out." The voice from the other end said.

"PANDA? You guys are calling me panda? Why?" Abhedya questioned in surprise.
Swarnima giggled and revealed, "because... you look cute."

"Cute??!!! Ewwww... I look anything but cute." Abhedya combed his already combed hair with his hand and stepped out.
