Knowing the taste of love, I felt complete.

His mesmerizing touch over my body felt so soothing, the harshness in his voice felt so breathtaking. His love in the eyes looks like heaven where could I stay forever.

The slightly warm water flowed over my body when I emptied a full jug of it over my head. My hair was messy because of last night and my chest showing all the evidence of his lovemaking. It was like I got to knew about him even more, what he likes, what he craves about me and what he loves even more. And all the answers included me only.

I smiled remembering everything how he pinned my hands over my head that sent shivers across my body. Definitely, it was different than before. And, I was craving for it even more.

Suddenly, I came out of my chain of thoughts when someone cleared his throat.

I turned slightly to look at him. He was walking towards the pool in which I was sitting enjoying my warm bathe. His fingers raking in his hairs making my cheeks blush out of timidness.

"Enjoying alone?"

He asked, his voice hot as always making me slight conscious about my naked body.

"You were sleeping,"

I said turning my gaze back to the front only to hide my crimson pink cheeks. His steps slow and steady approaching and noticeable to me.

I felt him sitting behind me over the surface of the wall where I had touched my back against. His hand slowly cupping my neck and I felt tickles and sensations lightly. He angled my neck backwards and saw his face close to my face above. He placed a beautiful kiss over my forehead and I smiled.

"Umm, I ain't wearing anything. Can you please wait for me outside"

I requested.

"Umm-hnnn" He shook his head slightly and I sucked on my lips.

He left my neck only to step inside the pool and I felt even timider. Sitting beside me he widened his arms in the pool and placed his head over the surface of the pool wall to closing his eyes to relax. He was looking relaxed and calm today as if he slept nicely last night I slowly angled myself to keep my head over his chest.

"What will you say to Maa Saheb?"

He opened his eyes and looked at me.

"Nothing, it was all my mistake. I forced you to do everything so let me take the worries of handling it,"

"But, you weren't in right state of mind that time and ended up marrying me in anger,"

He brought me closer wrapping his arm around my shoulder.

"But, I want to change the fact that I married you in anger. I mean I don't want my most beautiful moments of life to be called stupidity,"

I chuckled.

"But, that was stupidity,"

He brought me closer and rubbed his nose against mine.

"And you are more stupid that you are still living that stupidity,"

I chuckled.

"I need to talk to Maa Saheb and Pita Saheb about it. I don't to be separated with you at any cost,"

"Neither do I,"

I assured.

Suddenly, he pulled me closer making me sit in his lap.

His hands touched my wet shoulder softly while his lips lean in closer to make me wetter even in the water.

I wrapped my arms around his neck when he became more passionate in sucking my neck.

Slowly he guided himself to move further and left me panting, moaning and screaming for him insanely in the pool.

He kissed my forehead after his release and I placed my head on his chest.

Then we both spent our loving good time together in taking bath and getting ready.

"Come with me,"

He informed.

After getting ready I joined him for the meeting with Maa Saheb.

We both entered her chamber as she was sitting on the couch looking slightly worried.

"Privacy,"

She ordered and everyone in her chamber left us alone.

"Yes,"

She asked.

"Maa Saheb, are you still angry with me?"

He asked sitting in front of her.

"No, but I am still angry with both of you, what a childish behaviour. Marriage is just a joke to both of you?"

She scolded us looking at me with angry eyes.

Water collected in my eyes as I never saw her this weak.

"You know the consequences, don't you? Raj,"

She yelled.

"I know, Maa Saheb,"

He accepted slowly and continued.

"But, you know that I love her. She loves me. We both are made for each other and meant to be together. I know whatever I did was utterly stupid and unfair but what is her mistake Maa Saheb. You know she didn't do anything. It was me who married her forcibly,"

"I know everything,"

She barked almost.

"Please, Maa Saheb, I can't live without her. However the wedding happened but she is my wife and I mean it. I can't see her sad. If you allow, we want to get married again like you want. Like it happens. Please...,"

He almost begged to her and she lifted her gaze to me.

Her teary eyes softened looking at me.

"She is like my daughter. Raj, have you ever thought if Gulaab was in her place and someone has done it to your sister. What would you have done then?,"

His face changed to crying almost as she touched the paining nerve.

"Maa Saheb, I am accepting my sin. Pleaseee... I will do as you say but please don't you ever think of separating us,"

He requested.

She washed her tears and looked at me.

"Come here, Abhi?"

I walked slowly to sit beside him.

"Ji, Maa Saheb,"

"Do you want as he want? This is the last chance of freedom,"

She informed.

I looked at her. I didn't know why but everything that happened from the beginning to till now rolled around my eyes.

How his soldiers dragged me to his empire. How he made me his slave. How he forced me to things that I didn't want to do. How he married me with cursing vows. How he made me cried all the time. How he stopped my wedding with Suryadev. How he saved from a life time regret. How his feelings and misunderstandings changed for me. How he slowly made me fall for him. How I forgot everything that happened. How I realised, he was the one who saved me from everything. How I get to know the real personality of him. How he opened about his past like I was his everything. How insanely he loves me. How madly he wants me to be his queen. How deeply he asked for apologies for his mistakes. How beautiful he made me feel. Everything just revolved around my eyes and a trail of tears slipped.

"Maa Saheb, I became his the day he filled vermillion in the partition of my head. I don't want that freedom that I would regret my life time. I don't want that freedom that would make me feel that I have broken a heart. Ever since, I got married to him. I accepted Mahabaleshgarh as my Empire. I also want to get married to him again, if you allows,"

She smiled emotionally and patted my head.

"I don't know Raj, how you got this girl in life even after so many sins,"

He chuckled a little and I smiled.

"Fine, I will talk to your father,"

She agreed and kissed my forehead.

"But, just because my Abhi want this,"

She finished.

We all went emotional after it and I retired to my chamber while they both were went to talk to Pita Saheb.

Entering my chamber my right fell on Sakhi who was cleaning my bed.

"Everything good?"

She asked and I smiled.

"Yes, now everything seems good,"

"But Abhi, I think you should tell the Prince about it,"

I lied on the bed as she finished setting it up and said.

"I think, I should wait for confirmation and wedding to be finished,"

"As you thinks fine,"

She smiled.

I stayed in my chamber resting and working on some issues until the sun was ready to set and he entered.

I turned to look at him. He looked so happy and then suddenly he lifted me up in his arms with joy.

"Prince,"

I looked at the attendees present in the chamber and they started to go out.

"He agreed,"

He informed hugging me tight and I smiled.

"Really?"

I asked with joy.

He nodded and kissed my forehead keeping me down.

"Next week, we will be tied together for lifetime,"

His face looked emotional and he held my hands.

He kissed my fingers, muttering slowly.

"I love you, Abhi. You know when Maa Saheb said anyone has done it to Gulaab. My heart tore into pieces. I never want my sister unhappy."

I hugged him tightly. I knew he was still missing her. He never expresses it but he wanted to know if she was fine or not.

"Don't worry, Prince. She is strong and deserve so much love. She must be fine,"

"I hope so,"

He said.

Suddenly, we both heard the announcement of Maa Saheb coming to my chamber.

We released the hug and washed our joyful and painful tears. I quickly set my duppatta on my head.

She entered and said.

"No, no, no, no... You can't meet like this now,"

I laughed a little.

"The head Priest told that next Monday is the perfect day for your wedding. I think we need to hurry up,"

She informed and I looked at him.

He looked happy and asked.

"Can't it be before Monday,"

"It's just five days, Raj"

She teased.

We all laughed and then we indulged in the preparations for the wedding.

The schedule was clear. We had family deity prayers before the initiation of the wedding, then exchanges of gifts and a few rituals, followed by haldi and mehndi. And then the real wedding.

My face was blushing and had the extra redness all the while.

The very next day we got ready for the idol prayers. Somehow I was missing my family and requested Maa Saheb.

"Maa Saheb, you know that I don't have any family now. So, can you ask all the ladies and gents that came with me to take part in the wedding and do my kanyadan?"

She smiled and hugged.

"I have already it, Abhi. And never say that you don't have any family. We are your family,"

I nodded.

I pulled my veil down to cover my face as it was the time for the prayers. I could see him coming wearing the white lion cloth and kurta over it.

I touched the feet of Pita Saheb as he also came for the prayers.

He initiated the prayers and the sounds of bells and prayers almost brought goosebumps on my skin.

The environment was so peaceful and then it was my turn for the prayer serving.

The pooja went well and we all retired to our chambers. I was missing him at night a lot. But, since he was busy with preparations and we weren't allowed to meet. I didn't see his face.

After dinner, I fell asleep and woke up when I heard the noise of attendees decorating my Chamber. The noise of their anklet bells filled my ear and then I hear someone screaming.

"Abhiiiii, Get up... It's your haldiiii"

My eyes opened alerted with the realisation. God, I wasn't dreaming. It was my Haldi. Haldi for the wedding with King Rajvardhan Mahabalesh.

I blushed with the thought just for a moment and then left the bed to get ready.

Suddenly, my sight fell on Maa Saheb coming with a few attendees. I touched her feet out of respect and she blessed me.

"Abhi, I have brought you a pair of yellow attire for today,"

Sakhi Bai took it from her attendee and she informed.

"The ritual will be performed around afternoon. Get ready,"

I nodded and she kissed my forehead.

She went from there and then I looked at Sakhi whose mouth was wide open.

"Abhi, it has goldwork"

I laughed at her reaction and she looked at me.

"This is so beautiful,"
