The next morning appears and everyone started their works with so much hurry . The chaos and hustle-bustle has finally started in the royal palace of Ayodha and so to the whole Kingdom and the reason for the hustle is today is their only Princess Ayesha's haldi and Alta ceremony , going to held .

"Go Anima bring Ayesha here " Anamika said the maid of Ayesha's

"Je bhabisa " she bowed her head and left .

"Swara what're you doing here ?? " Anamika asked seeing Swara working on making the turmeric paste

"I've nothing to do so thought to prepare the Haldi for Isha " Swara tried to answer calmly as much as she could

Anamika furrowed her brows then looked here and there and bent on her level

"Don't you dare to do something with the paste Swara . I'm giving you warning " Anamika said as anger reflecting from her eyes

Swara looked at her in a swift motion and gulped seeing the fierce eyes of Anamika

Before Swara could say, Ayesha came inside the place where the haldi ceremony is going to held ,with Anima and Subhra .

"Oh my god " princess Anamika gasped in joy looking at the epitome of beauty clad in yellow colored outfit with decked on flower jewellery

"What happened Bhabishree??" Princess asked being confused

"You're looking like an Apsara came down from heaven my Isha " Anamika said and embraced her

"May god bless you with every happiness you deserve" Anamika said and broke the hug .

Ayesha smiled at her Sister-in-law

"You're not less than any one of them then my beautiful Bhabishree " Princess said kissing Anamika's hand

Anamika smiled with her tears then kissed Ayesha's forehead lovingly and put the Kajal from her eyes to Ayesha's back of ear

"Every evil eyes off from my Isha " Anamika said making her sat on the decorated stool.

Swara smiled evilly and brought the haldi paste along with her to them

"Bhabisa , Isha's Haldi" Anamika gave her a look then took the bowl from her hand

Anamika started the ceremony with doing Aarti of her then applied the paste on her bare arms and cheeks

"Bhaisa" Ayesha's eyes landed on the man figure far away from them looking at her with teary eyes

"Prince come" Anamika asked him to come inside with smile on her lips

Aditya wiped his tears and came towards the ladies . He engulfed Ayesha in his embrace .

"I can't belive still now . My baby sister .. the cute little girl is going to marry today . How will I live without you Isha?" Aditya asked breaking the hug and cupping her cheeks

Ayesha also cried out hearing her brother. Palming her hands over her brother she looked at him with smile on her lips .

"May be on peace Bhaisa, because I know you're facing lots of insults and problems because of me " Ayesha said sadly lowering her eyes

"Don't you dare to say those things again Isha . You're my pride baby . Don't say any bad about you . I don't care about anyone other than my sister . " Aditya said in a cold tone

"Bhaisa, calm down "

"Tell me Isha you don't want to marry this man and I'll throw him out of your eyes " Aditya said

Anamika rolled her eyes but waited for princess answer

"Bhaisa ...... what're you saying ? No one force me to agree to the marraige bhaisa . I myself agreed . Don't do anything like that . He is my soon to be husband " Ayesha said to make her brother understand . Though she didn't want to say those things... really is she really accepted him as her husband?

"OK Ayesha. As you say . All I want is your happiness " Aditya said

"Believe me Bhaisa I'm happy " Ayehsa said sqeezing Aditya's hand softly

Then he looked at his wife who nodded her head and he left with a satisfying thought in his mind .

"Your brother sometime act like insane princess " Anamika said rolling her eyes making both of them laughed over Prince attitude.

"But Isha are you really happy , because of what's happening?" Anamika asked in cornered tone

"Yes Bhabishree... I don't know about the happy part being his wife but I'm happy with the fact that after my marriage my father and Brother will be burden left " Ayesha said with a sad smile on her lips

Anamika knew it'll be hard for her to accept Sultan so soon but she's also sure Sultan will keep her happy and safe from everything.

****

Ayesha was returning to her chamber after the Alta ceremony where a lady in her late age .. applied the red colored things on her feet line and on her palms ....

"Apke goore hato pe yeh laal rang bade jach rahe hai Rajkumari " she smiled remembering the old woman's words

She eneterd inside her chamber and closed the door

Leaning her back on the wooden door she huffed ....

"Will Sultan's family accept me ?? As my family accept him wholeheartedly?" A thought came across her mind looking at her Aalta filled hands

"What if they don't like me and throw me on the jail for marrying their Sultan without their consent. " she asked herself and gulped hard

Then she definitely will run away from their sultanate to her home and she's sure her brother and father will kill the Sultan for it

She smiled and nodded her head in the thought.

She was looking herself on the mirror .

Touching her cheeks she felt it soft more than ever. She's glowing... yes she's. And she liked her new reflection so much .

Just then a gaurd announced

"Sultan Aarman is wanting to enter in your chamber princess " the necklace she was removing left from her hand to the floor making sound

She gulped hard he's wanting to see me ? At this hour of the night and too before their wedding ??

Just then a she remembered Anamika's words

"Do not meet Sultan untill your marraige happen Isha . It's not auspicious to meet the bride and groom after haldi to before marraige hmm" Anamika do warned her

"Princess " just then she heard the same dominating voice of Sultan

"Princess are you there ?" Sultan asked again and here she doesn't understand what to do now ?

"May I come inside princess?" Sultan asked again not receiving any kind of response from Ayesha

He got worried ... she is not responding?? Was she okay ? Or something did happened to her ?

His heart thuded loudly .

"I'm coming Ayesha " he said in a cold tone and parted the curtains of the dresser room

While there inside the dresser room , Ayesha nervously fiddled with her fingers . When Sultan said he's coming inside she just pulled her veil down from her head to chin

"Ayesha " Aarman gasped

"What the hell are you doing here ?, why you didn't even answering me ?" Aarman almost yelled at her making tje poor soul finch

"Allah .... " he said running his fingers through his face frustratingly most probably worriedly .

"Sultan I'm.... I'm fine . " Come her slow voice

"Hmm" he just hummed in response

"But what're you doing Here? At this hour in a princess chamber hnn?" She snapped making Aarman rolled his eyes

"The Princess is going to be my wife tomorrow " Aarman answered and looked at the surrounding

"Whatever "

"Why are you covering your face ? Jwal gaya kya apka muh jo aaise dhakke rakh rahe hai ?" He asked and just then anger rushed through her vein and in anger Ayesha was going to reveal her face but stopped in middle

"Suniye Sultan. Humare muh jwal jae ya kide ne kha jae .. ab jo bhi hai shadi to apko humse hi karni hai "

"I don't care ... all I care is about you . Your safety " he murmured but enough to reach Ayesha's ears

"Sultan ...ek bat puchne ki gustakhi kare ?" Ayesha asked

"Jee zaroor"

"Why are you caring for me ? You don't even know me . And most importantly you know that I hate you . Then why you doing this marraige with a girl like me ? "

"I'll answer your question when the right time comes . Not today Princess. " Sultan said ...how can he answered her when he himself don't know the answers

"You take rest princess.. good night " Sultan turned to leave her room

"Tehriye!!! " Ayesha

Sultan halted in his pace and stopped

"Why you came here ?" She asked

"Nothing ... actually I forgot in what purpose I came here ...sorry " Sultan gulped hard . He was long forgotten the fact why did he cane here actually ?

I just came here to check on you Ayesha

He wanted to tell this also but can't

"Ap na ... ap boht hi ajib hai " Ayesha said angrily

"Good night Princess and my to be wife ... je lijiye ajke rat apne hisab se Rajkumari. Kyun ki kal se apke zindegi humare sath judne wala hai . Aur vo zindegi apke Rajkumari wale zindegi se kafi alag hai . Kafi muskil bhi hoga . Per apko sab kuch apne hato pe leke chalna hoga ... us raste pe apko kahi bure logo ko bhi samna karna padega per hum hai apke sath yeh jan rakhiye " saying this he left her chamber leaving a surprised Ayesha behind

Ayesha opened her veil and removed her all the jewelleries . Thinking about his words

After changing into a cotton pair of clothes she lied on the bed. Feeling exhausted .

Thinking about what's coming in her way she frightened and don't know even she feel asleep.
