Part: 3

Shart lagi hai mar jaane ki

Jeena hai toh pyaar mein

Deh kahin bhi ho vo mera

Jaan rakhi hai yaar mein

"it's even more beautiful than my garden." Geet said clapping in glee. This is the first time she came out of her cage and witnessing the beauty of nature. Two days ago she and the Duke came to his Northern castle to spend a few days together away from known crowd. "I would do anything to spend rest of my life here."

"yeah! This place is beautiful." Duke said hugging her from behind kissing her nape. "but it is jealous of yours beauty."

She smiled in his embrace. "And I'm jealous of yours."

"are you planning to punish me my lady." Her rich main of black hair tickled his face.

"umm-hmm!." She pronounced. "your punishment is you won't ever be alone again even if your desire to. I'll be always by your side." She said turning towards him. "maybe being by your side will enrich my beauty."

He pulled her closer by her waist expunging the inches of distance between them. "I promise I'll never leave you. You don't know, I need you far more than you need me."

She didn't think that was true, but of course she couldn't tell him that. But she did hold him more tightly, laying her head back under his jaw. "You're the only thing I want, you are my destiny." He murmured playing with her hair.

She didn't answer. How could she answer him when she is feeling like she has forgotten to speak? She has forgotten her language even her existence meant nothing to her. She could only feel one thing. She is not herself anymore but an indivisible part of him.

One thing they didn't notice sinister dark cloud emerging from the horizon. Soon after the dark clouds covered sky, shrouding the sun from Earth. They jolted back to the mortal world when rain drops started to pour on them.

"We should go inside." He said pulling her by hand. As soon as they entered the castle the rain starts to downpour heavily.

**********************************************************************

It was night of thunderstorm. Flashes of lightning were illuminating the cottage. She eyed the window, watching the eerie shape of the brunches crashing against the glass of widow. The thunder flashed following a roar louder than a tiger's capability. Her lips pursed in a crook line in fear. Not cause of the screaming of the sky but the ominous feeling that was crawling in her heart. Once again the sky roared. It resulted her to retreat a few steps from the window. Unintentionally she batted her hand over the lamp on the table causing it to slump on the floor breaking into uncountable pieces. Her room became darker than ebony in the absence of light.

Suffocation! That is what she felt in the darkness. The darkness was clutching her tightly. The ominous feeling was preventing her to get oxygen. Suddenly she heard a sound of the door opening. The Duke was standing there. The lamp in his hand was only source of light in the dark. But the faint beam of it was not powerful enough to overpower the gloom.

"Are you afraid?" He said holding the lamp in front of her face. In the dim light she could only see one side of his face. Other side was covered in shadow. She wondered if he is any illusion. It hurt the heart to look at something as beautiful as this.

"I'm not afraid of anything when you are with me." She said meeting his intoxicated gaze.

"not even the wilder side of me?" His voice spoke of light, a light so pure it would burn away the body while the soul clung to it, willing to become ash within its presence.

She nodded negatively taking a step closure. "Make me forget everything my lord. Take all my sufferings and pain away. Let me feel you. Let me be an inseparable part of your soul, you mind and your body."

He bring the lamp near his leis and blew the fire away. Their hearts were already inseparable. Tonight for the first time their bodies became indivisible.

******************************************************************

She had woken up before him, just before the sunrise. The grey sky slowly became a beautiful shade of pink. Then a bright orange colour was all over the sky. Slowly silver lining of the sun emerged from the horizon. She shifted her gaze on his sleeping form. He was inside her, into her last night. She'd felt the shift of his biceps against her flesh as he held her, the line of his jaw pass over her cheek as his lips feathered over her skin. She felt his fingers are still entangled with hers. His fingers had touched every inch of her flesh, teasing, caressing. Holding her breath she slowly moved her hand so she didn't wake him up.

A soft knock on the door jerked her back in senses. It was a very loyal servant of him.

"Good Morning Princess. May I talk to the Duke Please?" He said bowing.

"He's still asleep."

"Tell him it's important. I'm waiting downstairs."

She closed the door and went back to bed to find he is already awake.

"What happened?" The Duke asked looking at her frowning face.

"I don't know. But please go downstairs. They're waiting for you." She stopped to take a mouth full of air. "Something really bad occurred." The ominous feeling of yesterday night came back to her again.

******************************************************************************

A few hours later she entered his room to find him dressing up to leave.

"why are you leaving so early?" She asked.

"The King attacked us. His army killed so many innocent men. They didn't even spare the women and the children." He answered in a breath.

"Holy Mother." She covered her mouth in shock. She knew her father can be ruthless. But can a human be this much cruel?

"I've to reach in West castle as soon as possible. You stay here." As he turned away to leave, she hold his wrist to stop him.

"I am coming with you." She said.

"No Princess. This place is safer. You must stay here."

"Don't forget about your vow Duke." She said in a strong voice. "You're not permit to leave me alone. I am coming with you." Her determined voice even surprised the duke. He just nodded positively.

********************************************************************

It was far worse than they have imagined. A few villages in the border were turned into necropolis. Most of the people were killed brutally. The state of living people was even more pathetic. The soldiers of the king burnt down their houses, farms. They looted their earning. It was like a tiny part of hell became alive on earth.

On the day an ambassador of King arrived in the court with a letter from him. A high ranked officer opened the parchment and read it loudly.

"I want a war." The man stopped. "Only this line is written."

"If he wants a war I will give him it." His face darkened, jaw tightened. He said in a low but dangerous tone. "Send a letter to the king." He ordered.

*****************************************************************************

On the very night Geet appeared in Duke's room.

"You're not asleep yet?" Duke asked.

She nodded negatively in answer.

"Waking in this hour of night, it's not good for health."

"You should follow your own advice." She gave a prominent reply.

He chuckled, a pleasant male sound despite the dark worry in his eyes. Slowly he moved on his bed positioning himself in a half lying, half sitting shape. His eyes were closed.

She climbed on the bed next, kneeling next to him, ruffling his hair.

"I wrote a letter to the King."

"What did you write?"

"I cannot bear any more death of innocent people. So I said I want a sword combat between us without interfering of anyone."

"God will be always with you. I will be with you." She whispered in his ear.

He moved towards her. His lips feathered hers. As he went to pull her closer she stopped him.

"Am I hurting you."

"No. You need rest now.." She said not in an ordering tone but he lie down obeying her. "Now close your eyes and sleep." She moved her palm over his eyes to close them and kept ruffling his hair, soon after he was sleeping peacefully. He studied the man with as perfectly sculpted as lady could make them. He is a man who is brave yet kindhearted. A magnificent leader and her soul mate. When he sleeps he looks like an innocent child.

*************************************************************

The king replied with another letter. He was ready for the sword clash. But in the time of the battle the princess should be subject of none. The defeated man must obey every wish made by the winner.

It was decided the combat will be held a week later in the border of their reign. The day of the battle arrived. The place used to be a crowdie village once. But all the people left it when the battle started. The ruined town signifies end of King's area and beginning of area of duke. The duke with only seven or ten supporters and princess reached the place before the King. Within an hour the king reached the place with at least thirty soldiers of him.

"we made a deal." The duke said seeing large number of the king's follower. "the battle will be between us. None would interfere."

"I remember." The king smiled showing his yellow teeth. He shifted his attention to Geet. "Geet, my child. You have become even prettier." Looking at the malicious expression of his father Geet flinched clutching the hand of the Duke.

"I think we should start without wasting any more time." The king said. "and the princess should stand alone. She must not be on any one's side."

Geet meet the duke's gaze with questioning gaze. As the duke nodded in yes she walked under a tree and sat down on a lower brunch of it.

The duel begins. With the speed they were moving; with the aggression they were combating it reminded Geet of hungry lions.

While fighting Maan sensed the men of the King attacked his men. What a hypocrite he is. He should have not believed in King's words. The King's men are at least thrice in number than his men. They will be slaughtered like animals. He has to finish this clash as soon as possible. He has to win not only for him but for his men and for Geet. Geet! What would happen to her If he loses here? The way he looked at Geet was not of a father's. It was cruel.

As he saw the sword of the king coming towards him at its full speed he defends himself by clashing his sword with it. With all the power he could gather he pushed the king's sword in the opposite direction. One more time his sword clashed with the King's. This time the king's sword flees from his hand and fall on the ground. Putting the sword an inches from his neck he stated. "It's over. I won."

"IT'S OVER." He shouted addressing the king's men. "drop your weapons now." Shifting his attention back to the defeated King kneeling on the ground he spoke again. "I'm living you alive just because you're her father." He said directing his index finger towards Geet. "leave the country within a weak."

"I will." He nodded.

Duke turned towards Geet. Then he smiled. Finally the dark clouds over them have faded. He achieved her. She is his and only his. Their love story is going to have a happy ending. No. Not happy ending. Their love is eternal. Eternal things do not end.

He started to take steps at her direction. Suddenly the smile on Geet's face faded. It got replaced with a frightening expression.

"MAAN!" She shouted as louder as she could while rushing towards his direction.

Hearing an aggressive voice from behind Maan turned back to see the king running towards him ferociously. Before Maan could stop him he pushed him against a tree, and then launched the sword aiming his left chest. Maan dozed. Suddenly Maan found himself trapped from the all side. He found all the king's men were launching their swords against him.

The king hold Geet's arm tightly. "I should have killed you on the day you were born. I was right that you will bring bad luck on our family." He said holding the sword up in the air to launch it on her." There were no expression in his face except rage and cruelty. "see my child he will not be able to save you here. May your soul rest in peace my dear." As Geet saw the sword coming towards her she closed her eyes accepting her ruin. She heard a sound of metal clashing against metal then sound of falling and fading. Is dead feel like this? She asked to herself. Gathering all the courage she had she opened her eyes. Then she witnessed it, her father lying on the ground; Duke holding his sword against his neck. "None dares to touch my fianc"; flame shot through his eyes.

"Please don't kill me." The king prayed. "I'm her father."

"No father tries to kill own daughter", saying he pushed his sword on the king's chest. He took his last breath and his limp body fell on the ground.

"Maan." He heard her voice calling his name in a low tone.

"Geet!" He turned back to meet her eyes. As she hugged him tightly his grip on the sword got loose. It fell from his hand. He embraced her back as firmly as he could. "It's over Geet." He freed a hand to touch her face and found his way around to her mouth. After a few seconds they pulled apart. She was still feeling the sweet taste of his tongue inside her mouth. She blushed into scarlet thinking she never tasted anything so sweet.

"let go to home Geet, our home." He said in a hardly audible voice.

"take me." She said as she placed her hand on his chest thinking it's a fantasy, now a wish come true. He was giving the gift to her, letting her know she finally belonged with someone, to someone. As he belonged to her. His arms tightened, holding her closer against him. Burying her face in his neck, she felt his hair brush over her temple.

For a moment story of Hades and Persephone crossed her mind. Persephone destined to miss one life or the other. She either had to live with her mother or her husband. She never had the both world she loves at once. But he is her whole world. His heart is her only home. He put her up on the back of the white horse then he ascended on its back. Not leaving his gaze from her face for a moment he lightly kicked the horse. The horse made a sound and ran towards the castle rather their home.
