Chapter 5

The morning brought new hopes and happiness in the lives of four people. Kriya and Sharon were getting ready in their chambers while kriya spoke

"its going to be tough, isn't it, calling them not by their names, I don't even know what to call him."

"As if I know, I think we should address them by their ranks just like mother does, we should call them yuvraj." Said Sharon

"No not at all, we are their wives not courtiers."

"How about your highness, it sounds better, I'm going to call Swayam like that only." exclaimed Sharon.

"Are you crazy, we are their wives not their servants. This is even worse than the first."

"Then you suggest, by the way, just reminding you we are not yet married to them, we are their fianc for now.

"I'm going to call him reyaansh ji, it sounds traditional"

"no it does not, Kriya he is just an year elder than you, if you call him like that it will sound as if he is your uncle and technically your still calling him by his name."

"you are right but what else is left?' kriya questioned

"Sir, it's not taken yet, bua also calls her husband like that." suggested Sharon hoping kriya would not reject this time.

"Yes of course, though it sounds wired and too formal, but its fine." Kriya helplessly replied.

Both the sisters got ready to go to their respective fiancs. Excitement was visible on their faces; they were experiencing the feel of love! On the other hand, our princes did not even wake to see the sunshine as they were quite busy dreaming about their respective lady love. No one could blame them love has negative effects too.

Sharon enters Swayam's chambers hoping to meet him, show him the beauty of Jaipur and spend some quality time with him. The thought of being with him itself made her blush furiously. Battling with her shyness and thoughts, she went inside with a pleasant smile playing on her lips. The sight she saw made her blush more. She was seeing and angelic lad sleeping before her. She went close to him, sat beside him and caressed his hair. Swayam smiled in his sleep. His smile made her blush crimson. But a thought, just a thought interrupted this beautiful scene. "Why is he still sleeping, doesn't he want to go out with me, is he well? Of course he is well, I specifically told him to get ready early in the morning, then why, I think he does not like me and does not want to see jaipur with me, but then he was the one who proposed the idea. Actually, how dare he, he proposes the idea, does the cheesy talk, makes me blush and when the time come, he is sleeping, how dare he do this, no one has ever behaved in such a way with me. I am not going to take him on any tour, if he gets angry, then so be it, I don't care." Sharon thought and withdrew her hand from his hair as a sudden action clearly expressing her anger.

This sudden action of hers woke him up. A smile formed on his face to see his beloved in front of him. "She is looks so beautiful in the mornings." He thought thinking of her in a dream. His thoughts were broken by his observation of her pout and her angry face which does not want to look at him. He soon realized that this was surely not a dream. He sprang up like a sponge and sat on the bed due to shock.

He looked at her, she on the other hand was in no mood to talk, and she did not even know why she was still in his chambers. She should be leaving and not talking to him, but she did not. She stood up to leave when he caught her. He gave her a questioning look. Poor lad, he did not know the time neither did he understand the reason for her anger.

"I'm not talking to you your highness; I am highly disappointed with you." said Sharon trying hard not to look at him. She knew once she looks at him, all the anger will melt in less than a second. He pulls her on to the bed and holds her by the waist. She blushes furiously and looks down to hide it.

He whispers in a husky voice "may I know why my love?"

"You were...you did not..." she stammered. She cursed herself for being this weak. She brushes of her thoughts and pushes him off her and gets off the bed.

"Breakfast is ready your highness, please get dressed and come to the dining hall, an escort will be sent to bring you there." Said Sharon.

This statement of hers confuses him even more.

"But Sharon weren't we supposed to go for a Jaipur tour together, we can have our breakfast outside."

"No, who said we are going, I'm not going to go anywhere" she said hoping that he would understand at least now.

"But why, what happened, why are you upset, have I done anything wrong?"

Asked a confused soul.

"You are asking me what went wrong, we were supposed to go on a nice date, I was exited and happy and that is why I got ready and came to you chambers only to find you sleeping." She shouted and turned and stood at a distance from him.

He finally understood the problem, knowing the solution; he walked towards her and turned her around towards him.

He cupped her face and said "I'm sorry Sharon, believe me, I too am exited about this whole thing and mainly spending time with you."

"Your actions speak otherwise" she snapped.

"It is not my fault Sharon" she gave him a confused look at this statement of his.

"I mean, how is it my fault if I see you in my dreams too, why would I want to wake up." He spoke.

"To see me in reality" she said trying hard not to blush.

"I love you" he said caressing her cheeks and hugged her.

"I love you too and I'm sorry, I should not have snapped at you, your highness." She said adjusting herself in his embrace.

"Hey please don't start apologizing now, but I have a question, why are you addressing me as your highness'? He asked withdrawing himself from the hug

"Because, I am not supposed to call you by your name. It is wrong on my part.

"says who? I don't like it at all, you're my fianc not my servant to call me like that. He said.

"I don't like it too, trust me but I have no choice, neither do you. Anyways get dressed and meet me downstairs." She said wand walked out of his chambers.

He went of to get ready and look his best today after all it was the first time; he was going out with her and alone. She on the other hand too went t get a change into nicer clothes. She went to kriya's chambers hoping she would be there. Swayam after changing went to Reyaansh's chambers hoping kriya wouldn't be there. Both of them were satisfied. Sharon found kriya in her room and Swayam found reyaansh alone in his room.

Swayam went towards reyaansh only to see him upset.

"I ruined it brother, I was such a fool, it's my mistake" reyaansh said.

"What happened, everything alright between you and kriya." Swayam asked

"No nothing is alright, I overslept, she came to pick me up, so she woke me and instead of waking up and staring at her beautiful face, I slept again.

She got angry and asked me to wake up. I finally woke up and asked her what she was doing in my room, she told me that she came to pick me and I, like a fool replied..." reyaansh paused.

"What did you say" Swayam asked expecting the worst reply ever.

"I asked her why she came to pick me up, she said that we need to leave for the tour now and I asked her back what tour?'"

"You mean to say that you forgot about this whole thing"

"Yes, I think so." Reyaansh replied

"have you lost it, did you do anything to make it up to her." Swayam asked clearly disappointed by his brother.

"no, when I remembered I apologized and said I'd get ready and pick her up from her chambers." Reyaansh innocently replied.

"that is the best thing you have done so far after creating a big mess." Swayam said.

"I know, but she was upset and angry too. She did not even call me by my name; she was calling me sir' the whole time."

"she must have been upset for sure but her calling you sir has no relation with it, she calls you like that because she cannot address you by name." Swayam said.

"Why, I loved to hear my name from her." said a disappointed reyaansh.

" don't ask brother, Sharon addresses me as your highness' and I cant do anything about it, anyways I just want to tell you one thing how you pacify her is your problem, but at every step make sure she feels love and special." Said Swayam.

"You're right especially after what they both have faced. I need to somehow gain her trust back; you know, I just want to kill that guy. How did he have the heart to hurt these beautiful creations? Their parent must be blamed too. How can they tolerate someone steeling the virtue of their own daughters?"

"We don't have answers to such questions, forget about these now and go to her while I go to my lady." Saying so Swayam left for meeting Sharon.

Sharon was waiting for Swayam to come while she got lost in her thoughts again. "He is a magician, just a look from him makes me melt, his touch burns my skin, his smile can make me forget my worries, and he can make me forget everything in a matter of moments. And above all he loves and will never hurt me. He accepted me even after knowing everything."
