Chapter 2

FLASHBACK:

She was sitting in the dressing room feeling nervously exited. She would see him again for the first time in a year. The last time she had seen him, they had managed to have some time alone before her aunty came. She had showered and changed after the last day of the shoot to go home. She got into the lift of the hotel that the crew had been staying at. He was already in the lift.

"Yashji, hi she said.

He didn't say anything but the look that he gave her was so intense. She blushed and looked down, she lifted her hand to put her hair behind her ear. But he anticipated that as he stepped forward and stilled her hand. He gently took his hand and moved the hair out of her face. Then he lifted her chin.

"Simply perfect

She looked up at him shyly.

"No, I am not even wearing makeup.

"Exactly. You are perfect just as you are. I know now is not the right time but someday ... my Queen, meree Ranee. Someday. His lips came down on hers softly just as the lift door opened.

He moved away.

"Aarti? It was her aunt.

"Taiji, he was just offering to help me with my bag. Thank you Yashji she said looking at him with so much hope and longing in his eyes.

A year later he was scheduled to direct the music video that she would be appearing in. And she wondered if he would remember that moment too. She was still deep in thought when she heard a familiar voice.

"So how is the queen of the catwalk?

She looked up at him and him and smiled. He had that same look. She knew that he remembered.

"Should I touch your feet Raneeji?

She giggled.

"Will you be my loyal subject forever then? she asked.

"Forever. he replied.

She smiled and got up.

"No Taiji or Chachi or dadi today? he asked.

"No, only me. I travel on my own now.

"Oh, I am not sure if I like that or if I like that too much.

"Well if you don't like it that means that you are worried about others evil intentions and if you like it too much, it means you have evil intentions.

"I would say a bit of both. Does that scare you?

"A little. But it excites me more. And I don't think your intentions are evil at all.

"You're sure about that? Cause I'm not

"Well we'll just have to see won't we?

"We can start by having dinner after the shoot.

"What shall we eat?

"I'm thinking ... Indian?

"I like the way you think.

"See you later, Raneeji.

She smiled as he walked away. He heart fluttering. She giggled again in pure happiness. She could not wait for later.

"He took her to the house that he rented. I thought we were going out to eat?

"What better person to prepare Indian food than an Indian?

"You cook?

"You be the judge. After many e-mailed recipes and phone calls to Ma and Bhabhi, I hope I get a favourable response from her royal highness.

"Carry on then peasant she said in a haughty voice and he smiled at her.

"Will I get a boon if I please her highness?

"A boon you shall have, depending on how good it is.

"Be prepared then. My skills don't come cheaply.

"Oh, I had no doubt of that.

"So are you a vegetarian?

"Sometimes. When I am with the gujrati side of the family. I spend most of my time with them in the states. But mom and dad, are not, so when I am with them, in India then I do eat meat.

"Ok, butter chicken and Naan it is.

He started cooking.

"So your mom is a good cook?

"The best.

"Where do they live?

"In Mumbai. My family runs a successful Events company, but I always wanted to be a photographer and make movies. So I did. Bauji and Pankaj my eldest brother run the company. Chote is in culinary school and will joining the company soon in a catering capacity.

"So you are a close knit family?

"Yes, though I don't spend as much time with them as I would like.

"It sounds nice?

"It is. Ma worries so much about me. She wants me to settle down in one place. But in my profession it is not possible. I go where the work is.

They spoke about his family most of the time as he was cooking.

Finally they sat down to a delicious meal.

"Mmm, wow. I thought you were bragging but you are right. This food is delicious. It tastes like home.

"So are you ready for my boon?

"When I am done eating, you can ask me for anything. This is so delicious.

"Anything? he asked.

"Anything. she said looking back at him with a smile.

When they were finished eating, she said.

"Pray tell, good sir, what do you demand as a boon?

"For HRH to do the dishes.

"I can do that.

But doing the dishes was not that bad, he had a dishwasher.

"Done and dusted. she said as she closed the dishwasher after packing the dishes and switching it on.

"Now for the real boon. A kiss. he said.

"Mmm, I thought that was too cheap for dinner.

"So will you grant me my boon?

"I will. She said.

He moved closer to her and grabbed her around the waist.

"I guess someday is today. she whispered.

"Yes, and I have been waiting a long time for it. Since the first day I saw you. He said as his lips came down on hers for a sensuous kiss.

She was breathless after.

"Are you ok?

"Better than ok. I liked that. I liked that a lot.

"Was it your first time?'

"Yes.

He kissed her again.

"I'm glad.

The video was shot in various locations over the USA and they spent all their spare time together. Even sleeping in the same hotel rooms but it never got further than making out.

On the last day of the shoot they were in his rented apartment again. They ate and she was still at the table when he excused himself. She wondered where he went to when he came out of the bedroom with a royal cloak and crown on his head and one in his hand.

She was shocked as he came to kneel in front of her.

"Ash Ranee, Aarti Sharma, I love you. I have loved you for a long time now and you are the queen of my heart and I want to share the rest of my life with you. Will you share your life with me? Will you be my queen, my wife? If you say yes, you will make the happiest man alive. Please say yes.

She did not expect this but she loved him so much and more than anything she wanted to be his wife, his everything.

"Yes, yes please.

He got up and put the crown that he had in hand on her head. She brought his head down to hers and kissed him passionately.

"I love you so much Yash. I can't wait to be your wife.

"I love you too Raaneeji. More than anything in the whole world.

They both had other engagements in different parts of the world and didn't want to wait. He had gotten a justice of the peace to come out to them. His rental was on the beach front. He had had hired a small marquee and had it decorated simply yet beautifully. He has simply asked an elderly couple in the complex that he knew to be witnesses.

She wore a white lace halter top and a long low slung chiffon skirt with a trail at the back. She wore a dainty hair chain with a diamond teardrop and diamond earrings. Her silver veil and silver bangles that her maternal grandmother gave her before she died and the payal were her only Indian adornments. She wore no make-up, as she knew he preferred her that way. She looked exquisite. If it was possible he fell even more in love with her that day.

He looked simply dashing in his white shirt and white linen pants. He was barefoot His hair was gelled back and he made her heart race. He was going to be hers forever.

He had ordered dinner from a nearby restaurant and one of the waiters served them till they were done. It was so romantic.

The ceremony was quick and not ideal but it had to do for now. He had every intention of doing it over with all the frills and rituals once they were ready to go public with their relationship. But now they enjoyed just being this new relationship without the outside interests. He knew the stir the union that 2 public figures could create and they were not ready for that just yet.

"One day we will do this properly, baby.

"What?

"Get married.

"This was absolutely perfect, Yash.

"But I mean, with all the rituals and our family and loved ones.

She smiled.

"As I said, this was perfect but I don't mind getting married to you over and over again. I love you so much.

"I know, right. You love me so much and I love you so much more.

"Listen Yash Scindiay, I am not having this argument with you on my wedding day. I know exactly who loves who more.

"That's what I mean.

"I said I am not arguing with you. Dinner is finished. So what else do you have planned for me? she asked expectantly.

"Well, the plan is to make you my queen, my wife in every sense of the word. Are you up for it?

"Why are we still sitting here then?

He jumped and he came around to her, yanked her chair out and picked her up in his arms.

"Better, Mrs. Scindiya.

"Much better, Mr. Scindiya.

He carried her off to the apartment and put her down on the bed. He undressed her gently and proceeded to make her his. For them it was more than physical, it was a spiritual connection. He worshipped her body, as she was indeed his queen. His love and devotion was clear for her to see and it brought tears to her eyes. She did not endure the pain that she felt, she relished it, and she welcomed it. At last they were one. The pleasure was more than she could have imagined and she knew that was the reward of choosing true love. Afterwards they lay in each other's arms just absorbing their new reality, their happiness.

In the 2 years they were married they were apart more than they were together. And when they were together their happiness knew no bounds. When he finally agreed that she could accompany him on his "quests as she called it, they spent most of their time together doing that. But he was so much in demand and he was getting tired of living separate lives. He had repeatedly asked her to quit modelling and he wanted to get married officially, with their parents' consent. But she was not ready. She still enjoyed her job and the travelling.

After they returned to the USA from one of their quests she started feeling sick. She thought that she must have picked up some kind of bug. However the doctors test showed something completely different. She was ecstatic about the news that she was pregnant and he was too. He had immediately assumed that she would give up her career. But she refused. She asked him to let her do that last contract with a designer that she signed at least. Then she would stop for a while, but not agreeing to stop indefinitely. They had a huge argument before he left for a job in China. But the contract took its toll. The designer had planned to show his new range in various cities in the USA and abroad. It was hard work and long hours and Aarti was a hard worker to boot. She ignored the warnings of her gynaecologist and what her body was telling her. She effect was the loss of the baby.

She was in Paris at the time. By the time he got there she was already discharged from hospital. She was in bed crying. She had never felt like that in her life. She was crushed, broken. She needed him now more than anything. But he did not console her. Instead he was so cold to her. She could face his anger, but she could not face this. He was so unresponsive. She wanted to be in his arms but he barely touched her. He barely spoke to her.

"Yash, please say something. she cried.

"What would you like me to say Aarti?

"Shout at me. Tell me I told you so. Anything. Just don't shut me out. Please. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry, please forgive me. she was sobbing.

"Aarti, what's the point. Nothing I say or do will make a difference. My baby is gone.

"Sorry.

"Sorry, you think that is enough. Just sorry.

"What else can I say? What can I do? I am hurting too.

"Nothing, there is absolutely nothing you can say or do.

"Yash, please. You are not fair. How was I to know ...?

"I told you Aarti! I told you! He shouted at her.

"Will you stop modelling now? Was it worth the loss of our baby to make you realise that we can't live like this?

"What do you mean? I am not going to stop working. There is nothing to stop me now. And now I want to keep busy. I don't want to think about it.

"What?! You intend to keep working.

"Yes, I need to. Now more than ever. I don't want to think of what happened.

He gave her a look of pure anger.

"Fine Miss Ash Ranee, you work. It is obviously the most important thing in your life.

He took his bag and made his way out the door.

"Where are you going?

"I also have a job, one that is being delayed now because of this. Once I get back to China I will contact my lawyer to drawer up divorce papers.

"Yash, please try to understand.

"No you try and understand. I need my wife. I want us to have a real marriage where we are more together than apart. Come with me, now Aarti and we can move on with our life. We can try and deal with our loss together.

"No, you can't blackmail me into giving up my job. At a time like this. How can you be so callous? And why can't you give up your job and be with me.

"I have a career that will last me a lifetime. Modelling has a lifespan and it not exacltly a meaningful occupation. And callous, me? You are the one that put the life of our child at risk. I don't know if I can forgive that, but I can try, if you come with me now.

"I value my career and just like you I use my status to promote worthy causes. You have no right to disregard it so flippantly. You knew who and what I was when you married me. Why do you have a problem with it now? And what if you can't forgive me. What would be the point of going with you?

"This is not up for discussion Aarti. Either you are coming or our marriage over. What is your answer?

She turned around and didn't answer.

"Good bye, Aarti he said and she heard the door close behind him.

That was the last time she saw him. Her lawyer informed her a month later of the arrival of the divorce papers. She was so angry and hurt that he went through with it. She refused any kind of settlement and had her lawyer alter the papers accordingly and signed the papers. She got the final notice confirming the divorce a week later. In no time it was over. She called the photographer of her shoot and told him she was sick. She cried for a week and after that she threw herself into her work. Taking every job that was being offered. She literally worked herself to a standstill. She collapsed at a shoot and was forced to stop working. She was just worn out and depressed and had to take a forced 6 month sabbatical from work to recover. She could not dispute the doctor's orders.

It was in this time that she did her first solo "quest. She heard of a village in India where there was an extremely high rate of new born fatalities. She went there and for months, together with doctors and the help of an NGO, they uncovered the source and worked out a solution. She put all her time in that for those months and a substantial amount of her money. She could not save her own baby, but she was helping save others. It helped her mourn and come to terms with the loss of her baby. But there was nothing she could do about her heartache and the emptiness inside her for the loss of her love. She just had to live with it. Not that she was living, she was merely surviving. So many times she wanted to contact him but she knew better. For him things were black and white. He would not accept her back after she had not only caused the death of their unborn child and then refused to stay with him.

He missed her so much. After his anger subsided he wanted to be with her. He sent the divorce papers just to make her realise how serious he was, not thinking for a moment that she would sign them. When she did, he went through so many emotions. Anger. pain, resentment, hatred. It broke him that she could give up on them so easily when she still held his heart. He too took a break from work and went on one of his quests. The destination was one of the most dangerous that he could have chosen. But why not. What did he have to live for? He was more reckless than usual. He felt that only death could numb the pain in his heart. And his wish nearly came true when he got shot by some rebels, but luckily it was not a serious wound. He was hospitalised for a few days. Finally he had to return to face his life without her. It was unbearable, so he too drowned himself in his work and his own documentaries in his attempt to forget her. Though he knew he never would. She was a part of him, more than his wife, his queen, she was his life. He was going through the motions and no one knew any different. He was good at pretending. He existed but he stopped living the day she left his life.

Back to present

Vheer had to bang the door before they heard anything.

Finally Yash stopped the kiss but he did not let her go and he looked at Vheer.

"Sorry to interrupt jiju, but dad is calling you. He said beaming.

"Jiju? Mmm, I like that. Did you hear that Aarti?

"Yes, you are marrying his elder sister aren't you? So that's right.

He smiled and let her go.

"See you later Raneeji.He said and kissed her on her cheek.

She turned away from him as he left.

He sat down in his future father in laws study.

"So what are your plans Yash?

"Sir, I humbly apologise for everything. I have made a mess of everything. I didn't think Aarti would ever be part of my life again even though I never stopped loving her. That is why I agreed to the marriage with Arpita. But I can't marry her, sir. I am hopelessly in love with Aarti. I have been since I met her. I was stupid to divorce her. I never intended to divorce her. I just did it to show her I was serious about her living with me. And when she signed, I was too proud to beg her to reconsider. And I lost her. But now, I am not letting her go. With all due respect sir, no one will make me change my mind. I will only marry Aarti. I will help you find a suitable groom for Arpitaji but I can't marry her.

"Umm

Yash was not certain what that meant.

"Sir?

"You expect me to just go along with this when you just took my baby without my permission and then you broke her heart and left her.

"No sir, I am sorry, we should not have gotten married without your permission. We were young and in love and about to leave each other for months. We acted on the spur of the moment. And I should never have left her, especially after she just lost our baby. There are many things I should have done differently but I can't change that. But I can get my wife back and that is what I intend to do.

"Who says she wants you back?

"She loves me. She could never hide that from me. The only thing that prevents her from acknowledging it is the fact is this family. Mostly you. She doesn't want to disappoint you. But if you love her as much as I think you do, I don't think you want her to be unhappy. And she will never be happy with anyone but me.

"You are very sure of yourself.

"Sir, I am sure of our love. That's all.

"And your family. They are very conservative. Aarti and her mother are constantly at each other's throats because of her lifestyle. If I send her to your house will she have problems with your family because of who she is and what she does?

"I won't lie to you sir, my parents expect a homely bahu. But I will speak to them and explain that she is my choice and makes me happy.

"And your schedules. You both travel a lot.

"I will try and reduce and I will try and get her to travel with me as often as she can. She has stopped modelling so she should not have a problem with that.

"You have been promised to Arpita. Already I am blamed for favouring Aarti, what would you have me do. Do you want me to break one daughter's heart in favour of another?

"Sir, only Aarti's heart will be broken if I don't marry her. Arpita, doesn't love me. She hardly knows me. Her heart will not be broken. She will only be angry at Aarti for taking me away from her. But she will get over that. And I will help you find a groom for her. I know a lot of influential, wealthy people. She will have her choice of grooms.

"Fine.

"Fine what ... sir.

"You get Arpita to agree to marry someone and Aarti has to tell me herself that she chooses to marry you.

"I must do it?

"Yes. You want Aarti you have to work to get her. She is worth it, isn't she?

"Yes. Yes, she is. he said.

Sorry for late feedback Bee, but voila

There's was a romance like any other😊, kind of love at first sight and it was sweet, went well , they got married and they were supposed to live happily ever after. But it seems they were living on borrowed time in their world until it came crashing back.They were young and thought that they could conquered all, but each had goals and it did not match. It appears Yash had a knee jerk reaction when he learned about the baby loss. In the heat of the moment we said thing to hurt and by the time we calm down its too late. And that's what happened with the divorce paper. Its funny 😕that he expected her to give up her career when they got together because of that career, men! And lack of communication was there downfall.

Now back to the mess

Well that was a shocking meeting like that after 5y, 2m and 22 days, so precise that it tell a story of someone still remembering the past . And the cherry on the sundae at her sister would be marriage. Yes a shock to say the least. And yes Yash, G-d is trying to tell you something indeed. And it seems that the love is still alive despite the years of separation.

That was a intrusive of her mother😡 to go thru her stuff. She had not right to do that. Poor Arpita, she can only be feeling bad. Here she is about to marry dream guy but he is her sister ex-husband. And now I don't see how the Yash/Arpita weeding can go on. So they were married and got divorce because of their loss. So sad that they couldn't get pass the hurt. At least they have Vheer in her corner , even if he is too young.

And now , daddy know best😊. I like that he grilled Yash, I suppose to assess how serious he is and also because he has indeed hurt his daughter. Was it too much to ask to get a kick in Yash rear end ☺️, I think daddy was a little soft,..Oh well can't have it all .

Now please next part soon
