-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It started a couple of days back,when sulakshana had first entered the Royal palace,after a long and comfortable stay at her parents' house,unannounced,and had declared,to gayatri's dismay,her plans of staying in the palace for a long time this time.

The entire house received her with open arms,after all she was raja bhim singh's daughter ,but gayatri's reception had a different tale to tell.she stared at sulakshana with muted anger and her heart burnt seeing the greetings and kisses everyone doted on her.

She turned her gaze to ranaji,whose face was plastered with a bright and vibrant smile,and his posture was that of a victorious warrior,as he trotted towards the heavily adorned sulakshana.

She was wearing a scarlet coloured ,low v cut choli -low enough to gather attention to the swell of her br**sts -and a boastfully accentuated front which with little gold beads hanging down like water droplets from the bottom of her blouse''and a sheer drape covering her midriff in a not-so-modest manner ,appeared to be a cheap trick employed by her to arouse ranaji's interest in her.

Gayatri looked straight down at sulakshana and thought inwardly,her mind vexed , of the precise attention sulakshana had given to her outfit,choosing red to flaunt herself,knowing very well of the fondness that ranaji had for that particular colour and the aversion gayatri had for it.

To gayatri red had always been the colour of anger and hatred.she despised it,as to her it was a sign of danger and violence.she found it ostentatious,drawing too much undeserved attention and she had been unable to like it ,even after ranaji had expressed his liking for that color and had promised gayatri,to turn her dislike into like .gayatri didn't want to offend ranaji and had stayed mum,knowing that her hate affair with red was one to go on till her death and there was nothing to be done about it.

When she saw sulakshana wearing that abominable colour,her hate turned to another level-for both the colour and her. she fumed with anger seeing her doll up to gain everyone's attention and rolled her eyes when ranaji trotted towards the 'sly queen'

He placed his hand on sulakshana's shoulder and spoke softly,words that were inaudible to gayatri as they stood a few meters apart ,but not yet completely alien as the pretentious,shy smile that sulakshana 's lips curved into did not go amiss by gayatri.

That was the tipping point for her.she wasn't up for the drama that sulakshana had planned to pull off,and she stomped up the stairs without giving a second glance to the cozy display that seemed to have occupied the entire house.

Ranaji saw gayatri climb up the stairs,from the corner of his eye ,and decided it best to wait for her anger to cool down before he made an appearance,for it was evident that sulakshana's visit had not been appreciated by her .

He was aware of the strained relationship gayatri had with her-after all sulakshana's family had offered her hand in marriage to him,which he had nobly declined and justified his response to,aptly,which,unfortunately had not been understood by her and every few months,she felt it her duty to make an appearance at the palace,provocatively dressed,trying to change ranaji's mind about marrying her. Ranaji understood gayatris disposition well and was often caught between pleasing her and abiding to his Rajput mannerisms.

He had no interest -whatsoever-in sulakshana but he couldn't convince gayatri of the same and wished she wouldn't act so childishly sometimes.
He stared at the stairs,looking at the path gayatri had followed ,and wished that her anger had ,hopefully,
not clouded her mind. gayatri's proclivity towards anger was quite scant and even on sulakshana's previous visits,she had always kept her interactions terse and concise,but never walked out of the room the way she did just now.it wasn't what was expected of a queen but gayatri never wanted to be one and therefore never bothered with the posh behaviour that was expected of her.

She was in fact quite upfront and honest,with no deceit at all,a virtue that ranaji found quite endearing but sometimes wondered if the consequences were rewarding as well.it was the circle of life -lies covering lies-but she had no place for it in her heart.

Sulakshana called out to ranaji,grasping his attention and said in a very honeyed tone
"Won't gayatri greet us?i don't see her around"

"No it's not that.she hasn't been feeling quite herself since morning .so I decided it to be best for her to rest.dont worry,though,she will definitely be there to greet you at the dinner table.
He smiled back at sulakshana.

Raj mata glared at ranaji,her eyebrow raised,well aware of the lie that ranaji had fabricated as she had seen gayatri flutter about the palace,happily,the same morning.

Her eyes questioned him about gayatri's presence and he just passed a you-know look back at her.raj mata frowned back at ranaji ,her disapproval quite evident.there was no doubt that she liked gayatri but just like ranaji,there were times,she thought when gayatri went a little overboard.

Ranaji apologised through his eyes and decided to make things alright.
He took everyone's leave,on the pretext of some important work , and left for his room.

-------------------------------------
Gayatri moved about the room at lightening speed.she picked up an object from one corner and put it in another.she opened her wardrobe ,took some of her outfits out,toyed with them and put them back in place.images of sulakshana in her glitzy attire clouded her vision and her efforts to busy herself resulted in only a myriad of confusion,anger and hurt.

She was well aware of the trend of kings, of marrying more than one woman,and she couldn't imagine sharing her husband with anyone else,like a commodity,or see her marriage,a union of two-and only two-being insulted by another wife.
She belonged to ranaji and he belonged to her and there was no space for anyone else to enter their blissful world.

She was also aware of the love that ranaji had for her ,but one can resist someone like sulakshana for only so long and with her family using every trick they possibly could to throw sulakshana at him,it didn't feel like an unattainable task.

She picked up a cushion next and pulled it out of its cover,plopping it flat against the bed before giving the same treatment to the next.she had no awareness of her surroundings and went about doing odd doings around the room.
-------------------------------------
Ranaji stood at the entrance of the room,looking at gayatri as she held a cushion in her hands.she seemed dazed and was unaware of his presence in the room.

He walked inside and called out to her softly,not wanting to scare her out of her wits.She looked at him ,still confused,and took a moment to realise what was actually happening.she then came out of her own reverie,hearing his soft murmur,and noticed his presence as he crossed his forearms,keeping the right on the left and the left on the right.she looked at the bare cushion in her hand and put it down instantly and scrutinised the rest of the room for her anger marks.

Rana indravadan first looked at the dishevelled state of the room,not utterly shocked,for it was customary for gayatri to lash out her feelings in her own unique manner,whenever she was upset or angry.

He then looked carefully at her as she stood perplexed in a yellowy-gold saree,her creamy skin a contrast to the bright yellow colour of her attire,shining softly under the sunlight falling on it.her front hair pieces were strewn across her small face,resting in a criss-cross on top of her forehead while the rest of it cascaded down her milky back -that peeked through the cut in her blouse-in a straight and effortless manner.a few light pieces of jewellery adorned her slender neck and arms and a waist band hung perfectly a little under her navel with short tassels hanging from it.

His eyes turned back to her face,looking at her flushed cheeks-the reward of the light exertion she had made about the room,as she met his gaze-her eyes beaming with a little anger,a little hurt and a little joy.

A bead of sweat slid down from forehead,across her blushed cheeks,following the expanse of her neck into the cut of her blouse,unabashed.she felt a tingle between her br**sts,her eyes still fixed at ranaji.

Ranaji ,too,felt a tingling sensation,seeing the droplet of sweat move down her body and he suddenly felt aroused.

The sexual tension was beginning to intensify and gayatri felt it too,deeply.
The room suddenly felt hotter and they both felt an ache grip them.not a word had been exchanged since ranaji had entered the room and yet their throats seemed parched.their minds were empty of all the thoughts they were occupied with a few moments ago and they both were only aware of each other as they continued to stare at one another.


Ranaji took a step forward,without a sound escaping from his body as gayatri noticed his advance,and took a step backwards.

Gayatri looked at ranaji uninhibitedly,her eyes following the expanse of his broad shoulders ending into those highly muscled biceps-bulging out from the cloth of his kurta.his broad chest tapered into a smaller waist with his abs protruding out against the front followed by two extremely long lengs spread shoulder width apart.
Gayatri sensed every inch of his masculinity and as he continued stepping forward and she lost herself in his savage male scent,a pool of desire forming in her heart.

He inched closer to her as she continued her retreat,the passion building up in her.her back hit the wall beside the window and she squeezed herself into the well,her back flat against the wall.

A smirk crossed ranaji's face as he saw the end of gayatri's retreat and he swiftly went closer to her,the distance between them having reduced to some mere centimetres.

"I am angry with you"she said feigning anger and tried moving away from him.

He blocked her escape by grinding his hands on either side of her on the wall and pressed his body further into hers.he felt her softness against his muscled front and he looked at her flushed faced-the sunlight giving it an iridescent glow.

"Me too"he hissed into her ear as his lips moved towards her.

Her lips quivered a little and opened slightly in anticipation of his advance as her breaths grew deeper and her chest fell and rose visibly in the heat of the moment.

Ranaji smiled seeing the response of her body to his and put his hands on gayatri's cheeks,feeling the heat radiate from them into his hands.

"I am not talking to you"she said fumbling with her words as his hands rested on her cheeks.

"Me neither" he replied as his lips captured hers softly at first and then in an increasing motion of intensity,leaving her gasping for breath.she had never experienced anything like that before and she shut her eyes feeling her heart thump hard against her chest as she drowned in the passion his lips created on hers.His insistent mouth kissed her again,this time parting her lips slightly and gaining entry into her mouth,evoking feelings in her that she didn't find herself capable of.she felt dizzy and clung to him hard not wanting to let go of the moment they shared.

Lovely start

Lovely and a hot one,indeed.

Awesome os

Part 2

Ranaji headed downstairs for some work,after finally making it up to gayatri, when badi rani maa accosted him.She stood in front of him, in her usual demeanour with her lips pursed together into a straight line and her puckered face showing no emotion at all.her posture was remarkably erect for her age and despite her frail and weak body ,she commanded attention from everyone around.

"Ranaji I need to talk to you "she said in her stern and thick old voice.

Ranaji nodded his head in approval and pointed towards the study,asking badi rani to come with him there.badi rani ma walked firmly before ranaji , and waited for him to enter before shutting the door securely and turning towards him.

She looked straight into his eyes and spoke with authority in her voice.

"Ranaji I want you to throw a party in sulakshana's honor tonight.i want her to feel welcomed in this palace."

"A party?but why?i think she already feels welcomed in this palace and besides,it will be so difficult for everyone to carry on the preparations at such a short notice.and what about the guests?"he argued with her,wishing she would put this moronic idea our if her mind.

Ranaji's mind had instantly turned to gayatri -at the mention of a party for sulakshana -and he knew that she won't be happy with it.sukakshana's mere presence had bugged her and a now a party thrown in her honor would blow her top.He decided,then,that reasoning things with badi rani maa would be better than convincing gayatri and he made a copious number of excuses to change badi rani ma's plan.

"Ranaji,I will take up the responsibility of organising everything myself ,you need not worry about that but the party has to be held.raja bhim Singh is a friend of ours, he helped us save amerkot from getting into the hands of those pesky British men,and things have already been a bit strained with him ever since you refused to marry sulakshana. the least we can do is to show him that sulakshana is still as much welcome in the house as she used to be and we all love her the same .As the King of amerkot ,it is your responsibility to avoid any friction or strain with the kings of our neighbouring states.it is a small price to pay in return of a lifetime's support from him"she said emphasising on the matter .

Ranaji knew badi rani maa was right and also, that she was capable of organising everything herself ,but,still he couldn't give his consent for the party.he was not ready to face the consequences.he had made it up to gayatri before but he knew that this time she wouldn't listen to him, no matter what.he stayed quiet,thinking of what to say, when badi broke the silence.

"Ranaji is it because of gayatri that you are so indecisive about this?"she questioned him through her big protruding eyes.

He looked at her surprised ,for she was aware of what he was thinking about,and nodded his head in affirmative.

"Ranaji gayatri should know that you are not only her husband but the King of amerkot as well.she should know that all your decisions cannot be always taken keeping her in mind.she too has a responsibility to fulfill as a queen and it's time that she stopped acting like a child."badi rani maa replied,her dissatisfaction evident.

She had disliked gayatri from the beginning as she didn't come from a royal bloodline,and had protested strongly against getting her married to ranaji.though,eventually she had to give in and accept the marriage,she never thought ranaji would accept gayatri as his wife and was surprised to see him smitten by her in a matter of few weeks.even now she wished to get sulakshana married to him and
left no opportunity in bringing the two together.

Ranaji knew that he had lost the argument and there was no way he could avoid the party.he could not explain gayatri's perspective to badi rani maa without hurting her feelings and he decided to comply with hers.
He gave his permission causing badi rani ma's lips to broaden into a smile, and she remarked his right choice before leaving the room.

Ranaji huffed out a deep breath and thought it best to tell gayatri about the party himself so as to avoid any bitterness that she would suffer from.it was still bound to happen but atleast it would be of a lesser intensity.he got out of the study and walked towards his room only to be interrupted by a servant,who told him about the district official waiting for him downstairs.Ranaji had forgotten about him due to the day's events and cursed himself for being so careless.he decided to talk to gayatri later and marched down the stairs after the servant.

------------------------------------

Gayatri walked down the polished,white marble steps with the grace of a queen evident in her posture.her steps were carefully measured and her hands rested on either side of her waist ,effortlessly,as she descended the wide steps,making her way towards the assembled crowd.Several eyes shot up at her,looking at her intently,for her beauty today was hard to resist.

She looked at the staring eyes,both men and women of all ages,and a deep crimson travelled up her cheeks to the roots of her hair.she had planned on making an impression,undoubtedly,but that was only planned for sulakshana to see.she had not expected for every face in the hall to turn at her,and gape the way they did.a slight nervousness began creeping in ,but she still tried to concentrate on her walk and instead searched for those special eyes in the deluge of people standing in the hall.she was still displeased with him for throwing such a grand affair in sulakshana's honour and was ready to fight with him the moment she caught him alone,but for now her eyes longed to see him,see him look at her...

Ranaji stood next to raj mata and some British official-he didn't remember his name-at the foot of the stair case with his back facing the stairs,completely uninterested in the conversation the latter had started.his mind was occupied by some other matter,rather person-gayatri-and he thought of the anger that must have travelled up her veins on knowing of the party that was thrown in sulakshana's honour.he didn't get a chance to tell her about it after badi rani maa had insisted on having one on the same day,and now he worried for what she would think.the truth however was that he didn't have a say in this matter.the party had to be thrown irrespective of his opinion and he had no alternative but to comply with badi rani ma's order.he was unsure if gayatri would understand this and thought sincerely of all her possible reactions when he noticed the jarring voice of the British official fade away,along with the several other voices that bustled about the room a few moments ago.
He looked at the British official whose was mouth stunned in silence as his eyes followed the trail of the staircase,along with several other eyes present in the room.Ranaji turned around to see the cause of the huddled voices,when his gaze fell over gayatri,walking down the stairs,serenely.

He was utterly and truly mesmerised .he might be under the influence of the Stendhal syndrome for his eyes didn't even blink once throughout her way down .he felt vulnerable and incapacitated in that moment,seeing gayatri dressed that way and certain emotions evoked from within ,causing an involuntary smile purse his lips farther apart.as a child he had heard tales of the beautiful angels that roamed over the Earth at night ,whilst everyone else slept,brandishing their beauty over the vast expanse of the earth,invisible to everyone else,and now he knew what they looked like. GAYATRI...

Gayatri reached the bottom step of the stairs,having finally spotted ranaji,when she saw his eyes stare at her almost hungrily, like those of a hunter at its prey.she sensed a little surprise in his eyes too, and wondered if it was because of the way she was dressed.She had never worn something like that before but she hadn't ever thought that ranaji would notice it even if she did.she had perhaps been wrong because in that instant,ranaji was ready to devour her. gayatri felt slightly embarrassed and tugged at her stole that hung down her left shoulder as her eyes moved down,avoiding ranaji's intense stare.

Ranaji smirked knowing gayatri's timidity and how he had just made her blush with a gaze of his.he wondered what emotion would she elicit if he were to make love to her.will her cheeks colour more if he touched her intimately?will her eyes look into his or will she refuse to look at him?

He looked at her lightly stained pink lips then and thought of the impassioned kiss they had shared in their room,the same morning.The sweet taste of gayatri's mouth lingered in his head and he felt a strong desire to claim them again.he wanted to love gayatri and take away all the inhibitions she had.he wanted her to forget everything else and only feel him around her.he wanted only his name on her lips and he wanted to kiss her while she took his name-only his name.

Ranaji saw her in his full sight once she reached the bottom few stairs.
She wore an ebony black choli with little flowers -embroidered with a gold sequence- all over the front fabric.the blouse ended a little above her waist ,cinching her there beautifully .it had no sleeves and sat on her shoulders with two thin straps running to the back and ending in a scalloped round cut there, with just a little strip joining the two ends of her back. A little black knot tied her round shoulders together at the back of her blouse with two sharp bones protruding out her back,complementing her slender figure.her back was flawless,a pearly sheen visible on it with only a light sprinkling of freckles running down to the small of her back enhancing her beauty even more.Her bare midriff shone in the bright light of the room and a black stole with flowers similar to her blouse hung down her left shoulder in loose folds covering the length of her lehenga.the skirt fit her snugly at her waist and bloomed into a flowy and flary bottom and little black juttis ,with little embellishments peeked through whenever her lehenga swayed as she moved.
Her glossy hair was slicked back into a smooth,low bun with a white garland running around its perimeter,complementing her long swan-like neck .for jewellery,she wore gold bangles and a gold choker -the same color as the flowers on her blouse-with an intricate pattern of figurines running all through the piece showing the quality craftsmanship they had been subjected to.A chunky artisanal gold waist band rested on her tiny waist with the same figurines etched onto it dragging more attention to her creamy skin.she looked no less than a goddess dressed up in the most exquisite way.

Gayatri made her way towards raj mata and ranaji when she saw sulakshana appear out of no where and stand next to ranaji with that fake smile that was so typical of her.
She wore a red saree with a low neckline and some heavy embroidery covered it .her makeup was a tad too much .her lips were coloured a dark red vampy shade and so were her nails.even the sandals she had chosen had a red hue to them.she had gone overboard with her appearance and she looked almost fake and artificial,her face devoid of the young innocent glow that echoed in gayatri's face.

She looked at gayatri coldly seeing ranaji's gaze fixed at her and decided then to teach the little princess a lesson.she frowned as gayatri came to stand next to them and greeted everyone politely with her sweet voice.she first acknowledged raj mata who introduced her to the British official- who complemented gayatri on her beauty- and then ,unwillingly,greeted sulakshana before looking at ranaji .she joined her hands and slightly bowed her head without saying a word,causing a smile to spread on ranaji's face.ranaji didn't move his eyes from her and did the same with his hands and head in response.gayatri averted his gaze and looked down toying with her stole.the animalistic desire had started building up again.they both felt the heat surround them as it became harder to breathe.raj mata decided it best to leave gayatri and ranaji alone for a while seeing neither one of them spoke a word and she told the British official to come with her,telling him about someone she wanted him to meet.
Gayatri looked at ranaji,who was handsomely dressed in a three piece black suit with a little red pocket square tucked crisply on the left side of his suit coat.her eyes gleamed with passion as she eyed him from top to bottom,first his heavy muscles,then his buttoned up waist and then the crease free pants he wore.

Sulakshana was irritated by the romantic display in front of her and she jerked her anklet off of her foot,in an attempt to draw both of their attention.

"Oh no!what did I do?"sulakshana said innocently playing her trick very well.

She bent down slightly extending her arm towards the ground when ranaji stopped her.she smiled deviously before straightening her back.the arrow had hit the right mark.

"Wait.i'll pick it up "ranaji said nonchalantly and bent down to pick up the anklet beside sulakshana's foot . gayatri stood gaping at sulakshana,seemingly angry due to the abrupt end to the moment ranaji and she shared.ranaji picked up the anklet and handed it over to sulakshana who thanked him with a seductive smile .

"Ranaji,can you please..."sulakshana extended her hand -with the anklet clutched between her palm-expectantly towards ranaji and cajoled him to make her wear it

Ranaji was taken aback with her request and he looked at sulakshana first ,trying to register what she had said,and then gayatri -whose face was marred by a set of lines sitting atop her forehead,the confounded expression her face wore visible.

"Sulakshana- I "Ranaji said feeling quite disconcerted.he didn't know what to say to her-how to refuse her.

"Ranaji why don't you help her out?its just a little anklet.after all she cannot bend down to do it herself."badi rani ma said casually as she barged into the sceneand intervened in the conversation.

Sulakshana smiled hearing badi rani na support her and she was sure now that ranaji would do exactly what she wanted.

Ranaji looked at gayatri again who pleaded to him to not do it.

"Ranaji don't keep her waiting for so long.i can assure you that gayatri won't mind.after all you are just helping her and being a King,it's your duty to help those in need.right gayatri ?she said so while looking at gayatri who looked back at her surprised.

"Right gayatri?"badi rani ma reiterated and gayatri nodded reluctantantly.

Badi rani grinned and took the anklet from sulakshana's hand and put it in ranaji's palm.

Ranaji bent down and put the anklet around sulakshana's foot while looking at gayatri and apologised through his eyes as her eyes became watery.she tried hard to contain her emotions and when she couldn't do it any longer she left her spot and went away.

------------------------------------
Gayatri trudged to the garden feeling hurt and misguided.what she had witnessed inside was the harsh reality she had avoided for so long.it all made sense to her now.it was not sulakshana or her petty tricks that disturbed her,it was ranaji's life and his position that brought all this to her .her anger made no sense,her complaints made no sense,her wishes made no sense because her husband was the king of amerkot ,not a commoner whose life revolved around his wife and home .she could not monopolise him.she was a small part of his grand life and would always remain so.she didn't notice when her eyes welled up with tears and they started streaming down her cheeks .all she had asked for in life was to be loved by one person truly in exchange of her devoted love towards him.but with ranaji it could never happen.he was a dream she could never have and she would have to bear with it.she had been senseless to think otherwise and she cursed herself for being so dumb.her dreams were too far-fetched and she regretted having them.

The garden was a good kilometre away from the main palace and its hustle and bustle.it was square shaped with a lush green bush covering the rim of it .several flowers,now curled inwards,adorned the bush and a little square water body underneath a stone canap sat in the middle of the place.the canap stood on four cylindrical pillars with small elephants carved at the top and base of them and well mowed grass carpeted the ground reflecting a dark green shade under the moonlight.
Gayatri sat on the edge of the water body,the voices of the palace completely drowned by the distance,and sobbed profusely.not once did she try to wipe off her tears and she let the hurt make way out of her body.
------------------------------------
Ranaji had noticed gayatri move out of the hall but he hadn't been able to go after her then as badi raj mata had called him.he now looked around the palace searching for her,aware of the pain he had caused to her.he had looked at her while slipping the anklet on sulakshana's foot and had seen the torment she went through in that moment.he didn't want to do it but he couldn't have said no and was forced to help sulakshana.he just hoped that gayatri would listen to him,let him explain himself to her.he looked in their room first and then every other room he possibly could search.gayatri was nowhere to be found.he asked several people in the palace if they had seen gayatri but they all had the same thing to say-no.he was beginning to get worried as no one had seen her in a while and he feared if she was alright.he asked the guards at the main gate ,frantically,if they had seen her go out of the palace.one of them pointed in the direction of the garden and ranaji rushed in that direction.

He entered the garden and saw gayatri sitting at the far end of the water body,sobbing and unaware of his presence.

"Gayatri "he called out to her desperately while hating himself for the tears that had fallen because of him

Gayatri looked up , her eyes met with those of ranaji ,and she hushed her sobs not wanting to cry in front of him.she just stared at him silently and waited for him to walk to her before saying anything.He looked at her swollen red eyes as he walked towards her and the gush of tears that had marked her face.the tip of her nose had turned red and the serinity that she wore on her face a while ago had transposed into sadness.the angel he had pictured her to be seemed broken now.

Ranaji kneeled on his knees beside gayatri and placed his hands on her face and used his thumb to wipe the residual tears off of her face using .though she neither moved nor said a word to him,she felt a sudden calmness grip her and his hand felt nice on her face.

"Gayatri ,I am sorry.please don't cry.i am sorry for putting you through that.i really am.you have to trust me.i had no choice in the matter.even the party was not my idea.it was badi rani ma's wish and I was forced to listen to her."he rushed through his words trying to explain everything to her.

She still stared at him blankly as if she heard nothing he said.his hands were still on her face,caressing it softly ,urging her to speak and yet she didn't utter a word.

"Gayatri please say something ,even if it is to scold me.dont stay quiet .its ripping me from inside to see you like this.you have to say something to me"he begged her

She shut her eyes then blocking him out of her vision and moved his hands away from her face,using her own.she kept his hands in her lap,atop her black lehenga and said softly,trying her best to contain her tears

"I can't do this anymore"

"Wha----t?what can't you do anymore"he fumbled through his words for he didn't want her to say what he was thinking she meant.

"I can't stay with you anymore"she replied emoting no emotion

A pregnant pause engulfed them and neither of them said a word.a few lines crossed ranaji's forehead as a result of the shock he had recieved and gayatri stood up from the edge of the pool.She walked past him only to be caught by him and she twirled back to face him.

"How can you let someone so insignificant like sulakshana ,come between us?How can you decide to leave me based on something I was forced to do?Gayatri is this what our relationship is based on?"He was hurt to see her want to leave him and he poured his heart out through his words.

"I haven't let anyone come between us and its is not because of sulakshana that I have decided this.it is true though that sulakshana's presence has helped me see something that I was blind to.i don't fit in this life ranaji.you might be a king but I can never be a queen.and I can't have a King as my husband.i understand the responsibilities you have as a King but I don't think I will ever be able to accept them or it will ever be okay for me to see other women asking for your hand in marriage or you bowing down on your knees to help other women wear their anklets.anyone may come in and stay at the palace as your guest trying to win you over and I will always be forced to accept your role as a King.how do I differentiate between the two ,ranaji?i won't ask you to choose one role over the other but I can't stay like this anymore.my heart won't be able to survive the hurt everytime.i have made a decision to go ranaji"she said looking straight into his eyes.

" no...this is not what you want gayatri.you don't want to leave me.i know I have hurt you and I know this is the hurt speaking and not you.you are mad at me right now and I understand it but I won't let you take such a big decision on your own.you can't and you won't.and about you not being a queen,I don't believe it.your mannerisms may not be like one but your heart certainly is.you are my queen,my heart.being your husband is a privilege to me gayatri and I will choose it over anything else in the world.i want you beside me as my queen but I want my wife first.i promise you to make things alright.you need not fear sulakshana or anyone else .my heart lies within yours and no one else can ever take it.remeber it always gayatri,I love you more than you think."

Gayatri sank down to the ground and sobbed like a child.unresticted tears fell down her eyes and she clutched herself hard trying to hold herself together.she realised how wrong she had been in thinking about leaving ranaji.she didn't know he loved her so much and had thought that he would put up a fight with her to make her listen to him.instead she was shocked to see him profess his love for her and most importantly choose her above everything else.she never felt this loved in all her life,she never felt such a strong emotion embrace her and she never thought herself capable of receiving it.she had been wrong all along.she had not known ranaji truly and she was a fool to doubt him.

Ranaji saw gayatri crying incessantly on the ground and sat on his knees next to her,unaware of what had happened to her.he kept his hand underneath her chin and tilted it upwards,looking into her soft brown orbs.

"Gayatri "he called our to her softly.

Her eyes met his and she embraced him tightly,knocking both of them down to the ground.she lay atop him,her body pressing into his,and his hands instinctively landed on her back.

"I am sorry ranaji.i never meant to hurt you.i don't know what got into me.i was wrong in judging,wrong in thinking like that about you.i never real-------"

She was stopped mid sentence by ranaji as he pressed his finger on her lips .

"You speak rather too much gayatri."he laughed lightly ,making her laugh as well.

She snuggled her head into his chest and they both lay there for a while before getting up.gayatri realised how close they were and she was the first one to get up and adjust her clothes while ranaji followed every movement she made.

She looked at him looking at her and asked apologetically

"Are you angry with me?"

"Yes"he replied with a little humor in his voice

"Ranaji you have to forgive me.please I didn't wish to hurt you.tell me what can I do to make it up to you?i will do anything you want."she pleaded to him through her eyes.

A smirk crossed ranaji's face and he pulled gayatri towards the side ,pinning her to one of the stone pillars,taking her by surprise.

"Ranaji what are you doing?leave me."she tried pushing him away but his weight overpowered her and her struggles ended in futile attempts.

"This is your punishment gayatri"he said as his lips lightly rubbed against her top lip,resting there for less than a second before leaving it bare .

"How could you think so low of me?"
His lips moved,again, towards her pink stained bottom lip and repeated the same procedure again.

He didn't linger on his touch on her lips deliberately ,teasing her,not letting her have the satisfaction she wanted.he aroused her surely ,for her breaths grew heavier and she shut her eyes revelling in the moment.

"Gayatri do you know what I wanted to do when I first saw you enter the hall?"he asked her a rhetoric question

His lips then pressed firmly against her soft lips and he claimed her mouth the way he had wanted to.he pulled her lips using his own and bit her bottom lip lightly to gain entry into her sweet mouth.she resisted initially but abided soon after,losing herself in the sensation he created.
His tongue met hers and it's sweet taste echoed in his mouth as he pressed further into her.She opened her eyes then and Ranaji saw the excitement in them as he kissed her affectionately.The kohl lining her bottom lash line seemed almost mystical to him,under the full moon.

"No don't do this"she begged him in between her deep breathing.

"you must know how much I love you Gayatri.you should know what it is to be loved by someone to the extent where you lose yourself"

He took off the garland wrapped around her hair before undoing the pins holding her hair in a bun,making it fall over her shoulders in a dishevelled manner.he took off the choker necklace she wore next.gayatri took in his musky scent as he touched her neck almost ticklishly and followed his deft fingers by a sweet kiss in every spot he had touched.her breasts rise and fell in the snug black choli she wore,everytime he touched her and she felt her senses extremely awakened by his intimate touches.he removed the stole hanging down her left shoulder and threw it to the side .
Her creamy skin glowed in the moonlight along with the gold flowers on her blouse and ranaji lost himself in her beauty.He kneeled down in front of her next and ran his fingers along the length of the gold waistband that hung about her waist.she shivered against his touch and pressed deeper into the pillar.

"Please ranaji,you have to stop"gayatri moaned softly while pressing her hands into the pillar, trying to deal with the raw passion he was throwing at her.

She was loosing herself under his touch.it became too much too handle.her knees began wobbling under the effect her body went through and she felt dizzy beyond control.her head lay on the cool stone pillar while her entire body emitted a pool of heat under ranaji's touch.she didn't know what was happening to her but it gave her an unknown pleasure to be touched by ranaji like that.

Ranaji took off the waist band in one swift motion and planted a series of hot kisses along the span of her midriff.his hand moved to the little zipper on gayatri's skirt and he tugged at it slightly,adding a deep color to gayatri's cheeks.She realised what he was about to do and she turned around, facing the pillar then in an attempt to stall him.

Ranaji laughed seeing her reticence and he got up on his feet to stand behind gayatri.he looked at her back that glowed under the pale moonlight and the little brown freckles that ran along the length of it.he touched her back gently,joining the little freckles through his finger till he reached the top of her skirt.she arched her back under his gentle touch and let out a few deep breaths as her cheek pressed against the stone pillar.

"Do you know how beautiful you are gayatri"he hissed into her ears making her smile.

He undid the zipper on the inside of of her blouse,detaching the thin strip and making them fall on either side of her back.her blouse hung loosely over her form,now held together only by the black knot joining her shoulders.

He touched her shoulders lightly and turned her around ,picking her up in his arms.

"Ranaji I ..."she mumbled as ranaji captured her lips once again between his intimately.

"I love you gayatri.you have no idea of how much I crave you.i want to taste every nook and cranny of yours.i want to love every part of yours.i want to never stop doing it.i can't wait to love you but I don't want to do it here.i want it in a place where there is no one but you and I.

He moved out of the garden with gayatri in his arms,farther away from the palace.

"What about the party"gayatri asked him with a sadness

"It doesn't need us"he answered making gayatri smile as she nestled her face in the crook of his neck,happiness engulfing her.
