Akshaj pov:

My heart stopped for a moment seeing the beauty in front my eyes. She is pure example of alluring simplicity . Black eyes with thick and long Lashes , honey complexion ,petal like skin and these full dark pink lips when long and silky smooth hairs reaching till waistband giving four moons to her beauty. Fragile and slender figure with some noticable curves of her is showing that how much young is she for me. She is still a teen.

A wave of relief gushed through her body when I told her not to co-bed untill her comfort and somehow I felt calm too as I was also nervous being too close to a women that is too my own wife . No matter how much powerful king I'm in the battlefields but starting up with a woman as her husband seems a difficult task to me . Having thoughts about our future together I went into my slumber not before taking a glance at her sleeping peacefully.

Next morning Ahana get up hearing the chirping birds. She roamed her eyesight around and found the couch empty means her Rana Sa already left as no sound were coming from bath area.After blowing the lamps and setting the curtains of huge window she headed towards the bath area . Where she bathed and does her morning routine. She wears heavy embroidered lehenga (long skirt)with matching blouse along with heavy set of ornaments and braided her hairs perfectly.

She wore her bangles and settled her duppatta on her head after filling the vermilion in division of her head the proof that she is now a married woman. She applied the surma cohl in eye waterline which made her eyes look more attractive than these already are . At last she opened a round box filled With creamy paste that is the mixture of rose powder and red sandalwood with coconut oil which smells heaven. After applying it on her lips making them moisturized and rosy she closed the box and placed at her wooden dressing table in the closet area.

"Thank God..kamal already taught me how to do this makeup after marriage otherwise I would be in huge trouble Today, because I don't want to others do my own work "

She muttered while sighing heavily.

"Choti Rani sa "

An attendee called her which she replied immediately

"Hanji under aa jayen"

"Yes come in "

"Choti Rani Sa everyone is waiting for you for morning prayers and told me to take with you there "

'ji chlaiye "

"Let's go"

Ahana replied while pulling veil on her face .

Ahana's pov:

I reached at home temple where everyone was waiting for me . I was slightly nervous.

Naina bhabi Sa , wife of his elder brother came to me and hugged me before I could touch her feet . She already told me to think her as elder sister which comforted me a lot.After she took me to my father in law who is Maharaja (great king) of this kingdom Sadatpur , i touched his feet and after that I did same to my Jeth ji (brother in law) . Rana Sa is also there but i couldn't see him due to my long veil . My mother in law has expired many years ago so we are only five members of family along with many attendees and servants for morning prayers. After finishing players i gave parshad to everyone and they gave me blessings and they went to their chambers and deeds.

"Ahana you don't need to wear veil all the time in the palace ,we only do when we go outside or in front of father in law"

Bhabi Sa told me while taking my hand in her and with a little hesitation I put my veil off .

"Bilkul Chand ka tukda hain ap "

"You are very beautiful "

She told me while signing both her hands to sides of my face take them to her temples to prevent me from evil eyes and patted my cheek . Her nature is very sweet and caring. She is just like my elder sister.

I smiled with a slight blush coated my cheeks.

"Ahana go in your chamber for now and I'll call you after some time in royal kitchen for first meal ritual "

Bhabi Sa told me lovingly and i nodded while saying

"Ok bhabi Sa"

And left to my chamber.

As I was about to slide the thick curtain of my chamber's opening it slided by someone else making a slow shocking scream left my mouth and lost my balance, i closed my eyes tightly as I was about to fall on ground but it never happened as I was cought in strong arms.

"Sambhal kar Rani Sa"

His deep and husky voice sent chills down to my spine. He was him ..oh..my god he is my husband. I'm in his embrace. I slightly opened my eyes with deep breathing and saw him too much closer for the very first time. He has i olive complexion complexion, slight beard , long and thick lashes with brown eyes . His silky smooth hairs were falling on his forehead, have a sharp jaw line and his lips were thick and pink . He is the most handsome man I have ever seen. I came back to the reality when he spoke.

"Apko kahi lagi to nhi..."?

"Don't you get hurt anywhere..."?

I balanced my position and came back from his arms while settling my dupatta.

"Ji nahi ..hum thik hain .. dhanyawad".

"No..I'm alright thank you"

Saying it i was about to go back at my heels but he hold my wrist and entered in the chamber making my heart raced at intense speed.

I was about to leave the chamber to meet bhai sa for upcoming meeting discussion but from other side someone came and screamed while I slided the curtains away and about to fall when i hold her in my arms she is her ..my wife . She wasn't wearing her veil and oh my goodness she is so beautiful. More than last night.Her soft skin, cohl filled eyes and rose petal like lips everything is just glorious in her . After seeing me she shocked and immediately moved away .

I asked if she is ok and after replying me she is alright. She tried to turn back but she was coming inside and because of nervousness she was leaving back again so I held her wrist and took her inside the chamber.

She trembled in my embrace and i hold her in my arms properly this time while staring at her face .

"Behadd khoobsurat hain aap Ahana"

"You are so beautiful Ahana"

I told her while unwrapping my arms from her petite figure.

"You too"

She complimented me slowly making my heart flutter and chuckled softly

"Come with me I want to talk with you little "

I told her while heading towards my chair and table in a corner of the big chamber where I work and study.

And she followed me like an obedient child.

"Cute "

"Bethiye"

"Sit "

I told her while signaling at the empty place at the couch after settling myself on and with little she sat but maintaining a safe distance between us making me chuckle internally.

"Apko Dlelgarh Saamraajy ki yaad to ni staa rahi Rani Sa"

'are you missing Dlelgarh kingdom"

To initiate the conversation i asked Her .

"Ji thodi si"

"Little bit"

She replied while gazing the dark red mattress which was covering the entire floor of the chamber while biting her rose petal lips to which I gulped lightly forgetting what to say next. Her naive actions didn't even have any idea they are igniting my fire of attraction towards her innocence .

'ahm..agar apko kisi bhi chiz ki avashyakta , ho to nisunkoch kahiyega ..hum apki sahaayeta ke liye sdev honge "

"If you need anything feel free to ask.. I'll be always there for you"

Her eyes darted to me hearing my words wanting to ask something and with nervousness she spoke.

"Actually... I don't know about how much flavours wanted in the meals here....i don't know how spicy food you people eat"

"Hamare udher sab bhut teekha bhojan pasand karte hain"

"My family likes very spicy food "

She spoken softly.

"Bakiyon ka aap bhabi Sa se puch lijiyega..par hum jesa bhojan ap bnayengi vesa hi kha lenge...teekha ya meetha Jo bhi ho "

"About others you ask bhabi Sa but I'll eat whatever you cook either spicy or sweet"

I noticed the colour of her cheeks getting dark hearing my words .

"Oh... Akshaj from when you start to flirt with girls ....."

I thought but my inner self spoke immediately.

"So ..what .it's my rights to do whatever I want with my wife..I mean to make her comfortable and lighten her mood and.. about whatever I want to do ..we both will do that also..."

"Stop... Akshaj "

I shaked my head sideways to get rid of my unholy thoughts.

With smile we talked about her more ...knowing about her likes and dislikes, hobbies and many things. She likes to read books a lot and her favourite thing to grow different kinds of flowers specially roses. She knows a lot of gardening, fears of thunderstorm and being alone in dark place . She got very comfortable with me and I liked it a lot..she is kind of talktive and her voice is so sweet , soft and slow.

I was about to speak further but a servant from royal kitchen came after permission and inform her to meet Bhabi Sa there and left .

"Ji to hum Jate hain Bhabi sa bula Rahi Hain"

"So..I leave bhabi Sa is calling me "

She spoke more like asking me to permit her to go .

'hum bhi chlen..."?

"Should I come.."?

I asked her teasingly making her eyes wide while I chuckled at her adorable reaction.

"Jiii..??"

"Hanji...ap rotiyan bel dijiyega ..hum sek denge .."

"Yes you round the chpaties and I'll bake them"

"Ji..nhi..nhi ."

"No ..no"

She moved her head left to right indicating a no and got up immediately from the couch to leave with hurried steps .

"Dhyan se jayiyega ....kisi deewaar se na takra jayiyega "

"Go carefully...don't hit any wall"

I chuckled at her reactions.

"Bhabi Sa "

Ahana called Naina to get her attention after entering in the royal kitchen with two attendees.

"Choti Rani Sa..ayiye apka swagat hai .. dekhiye hamne sab kuch taiyar kar diya hai..bas aap pehli rsoyi ki rasm ke liye kuch meetha bna dijiye ..uske baad apko kabhi kashat ne denge rsoyi Ghar ke kaam ka"

"Choti Rani Sa ..come you are welcome...see I have prepared everything...you just make a sweet dish for first meal ritual after that will be not bothered to do kitchen work"

Naina smiled at her widely while talking to her .

'ji bhabi sa"

Ahana replied while checking out the huge royal kitchen.

"By the way what are you making??"

Naina asked

"Ji MAWA MISHRI "

"Oh.....great my mouth is already watering hearing you....now I'm going to handle some work and you prepare the dish ...other meal has already made ..ask them anything if you need "

Naina said while pointing the attendees and existed the kitchen.

Ahana worship around stove with rice and sindoor as it's the ritual and carefully started to prepare the dish balancing every flavour and amount of ingredients and after an hour she prepared it whole and asked the attendees to serve it on the dining table along with other meals .

Her father -in law , brother in law, husband and Naina were already there , Ahana greeted them . Naina told her to sit beside Akshaj and they sat down to eat . At the end the sweet dish was served to everyone. They started to eat it while Ahana's attention was roaming to everyone's face looking for their reactions secretly and she found her Rana Sa glancing at her shortly but no-one spoken a single words.

"What was this"

Ahana heard Naina speaking with a blank face while finishing the last spoon of the sweet dish from the bowl, her heart was pounding rapidly and the beads of sweat already formed on her forehead.

She looked at Naina with fearful eyes.

"Ye kya bnaya ap ne choti Rani Sa"

"What you made choti Rani Sa"

Naina spoke while getting up from her chair making Ahana immediately got up too.

"Wo..wo..bhabi Sa ..hme shma kar dijiye..agr acha "....

"Ahana ..Ahana ...it was so ..so much delicious...I was just pulling your leg "

Naina said holding her hands while laughing and others laughed too .

Instant relief hugged Ahana knowing she didn't made any bad dish.

""Ahana ...i got this necklace of our mother in law from Baba sa when I made first meal in this palace as blessing and love of their love and blessings and now I'm giving it to you"

Naina spoke while giving her a very beautiful Necklace of gold decorated with precious gems , she made Ahana wear it herself and kissed her forehead lovingly.

Ahana bent down to touch her feet to which Naina pulled her into a warm hug .

The father in law also got up and patted Ahana's head praising her for the delicious pudding and gave her gift same did her brother in law.

They are very sweet people. Ahana got to know about their natures a lot today by meeting the family .

Everyone left one by one only Ahana and her Rana Sa left in the dining hall .

"Kaksh me miliye hame"

"Meet

me in the chamber"

He told her in husky voice sending shivers down to her entire body and left from there.
