Gaurvika's Pov

Om Namah Shivay, Om Namah Shivay, with my hands fold and head bow down in your feet i wanted to thank you for everything you have given me and i have complete faith whatever lies in future for will be your wish. I am truly blessed to be your child. I water the shivling and put chandan (sandalwood) tika on it. This is my daily schedule in the morning. I always trust and have faith on my Mahadev. But something has changed past few months. Yes I got married to the most loved, feared and respected man in vanastvan- Rudra. Since then he also become part of my prayer. My respect for him always increased day by day. The way he help people,solve their problems and make their work easy. Yes I am proud of being his wife. But right now he is going to get a lecture from me because he hasn't came back last night. I know the rainy season is about to begin and he has to make sure that water didn't became a problem for people but still the least he can do is inform me about his where about. I got out of my room to look for him in our small palace. There I greet badi ma (grandmother in law) and maa (mother in law) and took their blessings. "Sada suhagan raho aur sheeghr he hume humare chote Rudra ya Guarvika ke darshan do" badi ma said (may you lead a happy married life and god bless you with a boy or girl soon) I smiled and blushed hearing their blessings and notice that Rudra hasn't come yet. Maa notice me that i am looking for him and tease me "Are you looking for some dear ? " I shake my head in no and make my way towards my room. As i was about enter i heard his manly yet tired voice "Pranam badi maa, Pranam maa". Before i can go to check him i heard another voice which is nothing more than a noise, it was High pitched and squeaky. "Rudra where have you been,you have to take care of yourself also,see how tired you look. You go and take a bath and relax meanwhile i bring something for you to eat." This voice belongs to most most idiot girl i have ever seen Smriti. She always try to hit on my Rudra. But now she overdoing it. I have to show her right place. Since our marriage was arranged one, it took a little time to open up and know each other, he didn't force me into anything and gave me time till I get comfortable. As time past he already have my respect and love. I know he respects and care for me but not sure that he loves me. At first I thought smriti loves him and thats why she hates me. But gradually i notice that she loves being the wife of a leader so that she can claim the queen like position and about Rudra she doesn't love him just lust after him. Infront of Rudra she is all innocent good girl who got hurt in love,but i know the reality. As eyed my dear husband as he makes an entry in our room.

Rudra's Pov

After greeting badi maa and maa i entered my room to take a bath and relax since i didn't take rest last night. But seems like I still can't rest looking at my wife's face. I begin my explanation "Actually i was so into the work and" - was cut in between by her. "No need I know you were working for people and their safety. You look very tired have a bath I will get you some juice and eatables" she said. I can't deny the fact that I was quite surprised because I know she is anything but quite that to even after what smriti just did. Yes i notice when Smriti was talking with me she was jealous. Not only today, she, many times,had face off with her for me. Did I tell you that I love her when she shows her fiery side for me. I came out after bath and already feeling much relaxed wrapping a dhoti on my lower body but was bare chest and stand Infront of mirror and saw that my wife was checking me out. I turned and smile at her and she became red like a tomato,which I surely love to eat. She offered me juice and instead of juice I grabbed her hands d pull her closer. It was comfortable silence for a moment. I was about to kiss her but there was a knock on the door and moment was broken by smriti. I backed off unwantedly.
---------------------------------------------------

Gaurvika and Smriti eyed each other. Smriti just broke a majestic moment of the couple. Also Gaurvika saw her ogling at Rudra like a hawk which makes her blood boil and ting of jealousy can be seen on her face, before smriti can anything Gaurvika said thank you but no need i am his wife and i know how to take care of my husband.
Smriti got really angry but control herself as Rudra was there as well. With a fake smile on her face she said i know but i brought all these for him as a friend. I care for him. She opend her arm to hug him but Gaurvika grabbed her hand and said i told you that i can take care of his needs, you can leave. Rudra was standing near the balcony but was looking at them or say her wife. He always considered smriti as friend. Smriti lied to him that she only likes him and nothing more and hence sometime didn't get along with Gaurvika. By then Smriti was red with anger and start her nagging "you damn girl,what do you think of yourself.. i know girls like you just want to slave to rich man so you can enjoy his property..you are one among them...who wants attention from men and then eyes their money..you are no one to tell me to stay away.. you bitc-"
"ENOUGH" before smriti can complete the word Rudra stopped her. "ENOUGH how dare you smriti,did you forgot that whom are you talking with. She is my wife no one and i mean no one can insult her like the way you just did. I thought you as my friend but the person who can't respect my wife, can't be my friend. Before i do or say something which i don't even even regret later just leave." Rudra said in his dangerous tone. Smriti was scared by his tone and turned to go but stopped by Rudra again " You owe an apology to my wife" with scared look and shudder voice she apologise and left.

Gaurvika kept her down looking at her toes sitting on her bed. Rudra came and sit beside her,keeps his hand on her and tease her to lighten the mood " you know you don't have to be jealous of anyone, after all i am one woman man but it's not like i don't love your jealous face." Gaurvika tried hide her smile and said i am not jealous which result in melodious laughter and more tease from Rudra "ohh but that's not your face expression says my love." Gaurvika take his hands in her and keep her head on his shoulder and replied "my dear husband i am not jealous type but what's mine is mine.. end of discussion, you are all mine. Rudra smiled and kiss on her head and said "yes i am all yours"
