"Bataiye" her question bring him back to the reality . ("Tell me")

"Aye...." he was cut off by her

"No ... not now Sultan. Tell me the truth .. how many wife do you have ? My father and Brother definitely didn't knew about this right ? That means you cheated on me ? How could you do this Sultan? " She screamed on the top of her lungs making Aarman more angry

He was came here to check on her because one of the attendee informed him that She's not wanting to eat the dinner . Sultan left his food there and and came to see on her . And now what she is doing ? Screaming at him ? What wife he got ? Wow ...

"First of all don't scream at me Princess. Don't forget I'm your husband . I've seen from my childhood everyone's obeying me so next time behave with manner and good manner" Aarman said in a serious tone .

Ayesha moved her face another side . Tears were flowing from her eyes .. her husband cheated on her . The thought eating her mind so badly .

"Ap hume dosh de rahe hai bate chippane ki ... per apne bhi to humse nhi kaha na Pratap Singh Thakur ke bareme " Sultan said with a smirk on his lips .

("You're accusing me for hiding truth but what about you , you also didn't told me about Pratap Singh Thakur " )

Ayesha instantly looked at him with horror filled eyes .

Who told him about Pratap Singh?

Her eyes welled up hearing the mere name of Pratap Singh. The memory of the dreadful day came infront of her eyes . Seeing her brother almost lost the game , thinking about herself... a light sob escaped from her mouth . But she immediately covered her lips with her palms .

Sultan sighed seeing her like this .

He knew she was strong enough to fight back but she needs some mental push.

Sultan went towards her "chodiye vo sab bate , ayiye khana kha lijiye Begum" Sultan said and she looked at him with her tears stained cheeks and puffy red nose .

("Leave all this topics and come let's have food Begum" )

"No I'm not hungry you go and eat " Ayesha said moving her face another side

"You're so stubborn Princess "

"And you're so arrogant Sultan "

"I don't like repeating my words Begum, come soon "

"And I also don't like force . So don't force me to do anything except my wish"

She gave him a fake smile and showed him her tounge

Sultan chuckled seeing her childish behavior towards him .

She is too young to handle Aarman.

He bent on her level and raised her face ,holding her chin with his thumb and pointer finger .

The tears marks and red nose filled sorrow in his heart

"You cried too much Begum " saying this Aarman wiped her tears with his thumbpad

"Badi ho jayiye ab ... apke shadi bhi ho gayi hai" Sultan said playfully making her smile but she controlled herself to not smile .

("Grow up Lady ... you're married now ")

"Let's go Begum. I'm also starving just because of you " Sultan said

"No I'm not coming you go and have food " Ayesha said and take back her hand from his hold

"Ayesha hume gussa mat dilaiye" Sultan said

("Ayesha dont make me angry")

"Hume bhi paresan mat kijiye ..." Ayesha

("Don't disturb me then ")

Aarman got up from the floor and extended his palm for her to hold

"Get up Ayesha. After that I need some rest . It's already midnight . I've to take some rest for tomorrow's journey"

"Go. Eat . Sleep"

"Ayesha ...."

"Ufff aap na bade ajuba hai Sultan. Jab hum keh rahe hai ki hume bhook nhi hai ....." She stopped on the middle as her stomach grunted for food making her embarrassed infront of him

("Uff you're so annoying Sultan . If I'm saying I'm not hungry then...." )

Sultan looked at her with smile on his lips

"Okay I'm going then " he turned to go but Ayehsa immediately hold his wrist from back and looked at him with her puppy pleading eyes .

"Chaliye" Sultan pulled her to make her stand and both looked at each other for some moments, still holding each other's hand , the cold wind giving them sensation feeling with the intense eye lock . Sultan tighten his grip on her hand as a promise to keep her happy always , where Ayesha was trying to find the meaning of his emotions.

But their eye lock broken by Swara's called

"Ayesha" she had already half eneterd inside the tent, Sultan left Ayesha's hand immediately and looked back at the open curtains.

"I'm sorry Sultan. I didn't knew you're here " Swara said bowing her head

"Ummm.. it's.. fine I came here to call Ayesha for the food ." Sultan was feeling so embarrassed.

It's just one day he's married and now caught red handed with his wife infront of Ayesha's attendee.

"Swara please bring food for both of us" Ayesha said looking at Sultan's red face .

Swara nodded her head and left the tent leaving them alone again

"I'm coming " Ayesha said and going to leave but Aarman hold her wrist from behind which caused her bangles jingling.

Ayesha looked at the hold then at his face . Sultan left her wrist and scratches his neck

"Ummm... it's late night where are you going ? "

"For .." She showed her hands "washing my dirty hands " Sultan nodded his head and she smiled while turned her back to him

"Ab kya kare , humare Sultan itna bhi acha kaha hai ki kahenge vo khila denge hume khana " she said biting her lower lips and left the tent immediately after saying , leaving a confused flushed Sultan inside

("What can I do ? My Sultan is not so good that he will say he can feed me ")

"This girl is crazy . you've to work hard Aarman to make her calm down whenever she behave like angry wild cat"

Swara wiped her tears after coming out from their tent to the tent where the kitchen was arranged .

She truly likes Sultan. No doubt .

"Aap abhi tak jagi hui hai ?" The voice startled Swara . She looked back and found Adab was standing there with smile on his lips

("You're still awake ?" )

"Yes I've to serve the food to Sultan and Ayesha I mean Princess " Swara said trying to act calm but she knows inside her heart there was storm .

"Ohh ..."

"You want something?" Swara asked

"No..ummm...yes ... vo..." adab was out of words . He came here hearing some noise . When he found Swara was working so, he thought to initiate some talks with her .

"What ? Yes or no ?" Swara asked getting up from the floor holding the plates in both her bands

But she stumbled on her steps and about to fall but Adab was there to save her from falling

"Be careful . The road is muddy . May be because of the sudden rain " Adab said and Swara nodded

"Can I leave now ?"

"Yes yes sure " adab said giving her some place to leave

Swara smiled at him and started going towards the tent . But stopped in her track and turned , she found Adab was still looking at her

Feeling nervous she asked " You had your dinner ?" In a low voice

Adab smiled and nodded his head as a Yes and went to his chamber .

Princess came inside along with Swara inside the particular tent made for Her and Sultan .

"You had meal ?" Ayesha asked taking the placed from her hand

"Yes I had long ago . " Swara smiled

"Okay go and take some rest my sister " Ayesha requested and kissed her cheek .

Swara looked at her with various emotion on her eyes .

Ayesha love me so much ..... I don't want your love Isha. Please stop loving me and Start to hate me . I don't deserve your love my sister . I did so many wrong things with you . And I'm sorry . I thought you snatched everything from me but I was wrong I know that . It was Rajasa who is responsible for everything and I always did wrong with you . Don't worry Isha I'll change my personality for you. For your love my sister . I'll tell you the truth of everything.

"Swara oye behen kaha kho gaye tu ?" Ayesha asked and chuckled seeing her friend so lost in her thought

("Aayee sister where are you lost ?" )

"Kuch nai tu ja" Swara said waving her hand ("Nothing you go")

Ayesha smiled at her and eneterd inside . She looked her right and left side but didn't found Sultan

"Ab yeh admi kaha chale gaye ?" She thought and just then her eyes landed on him .

("Where this man has gone now ?")

Sultan came inside totally drenched in water.

Ayesha gulped seeing him wet . His messy hairs , water droplets falling from hairs strands to his face then rolling down from his cheeks to his neck and it goes invisible inside his wet kurta .

"Begum " Sultan's loud voice brought her on reality

She was gawking him ... no please

"Where ... we...were you ?"

"Arey don't ask .. I was walking behind you to check on you but this little rabbit caught my attention . He was struggling on the pond, so I save him " Sultan said caressing the rabbits furry back and kissed his face

Ayesha smiled and came towards them

She extended her arms to take the rabbit

"You go and change I'll take care of him till then " Ayesha said kissing the same place where Sultan kissed the rabbit .

Sultan nodded and left for changing his wet clothes

"You're so cute . But your saviour is so dangerous. I don't know how will I spend this 30 days with him " Ayesha said and pouted looking at the rabbit .

Later they eat their food with almost silence but taking glances of each other .

The rest of the journey went well . Sultan every night came into her tent to check on her and eat dinner with her . Later where he gone after dinner Ayesha don't know . So many time she asked him where he went after dinner but everytime Sultan replied with an emotionless face it's none of her concern .

As per Adab she get to know they are 1 night and half day left to reach Arab

She counted it took almost 34 days to reach Arav . She missed her family so badly but glad Swara was with her .

Tonight she decided to check on him after dinner , where he has went every night.
