The Gajner fort sparkled like the sun, surrounded by vast stretches of desert on all sides. The deserts came alive every night when banjaras from all over the Bikaner would gather and put up stalls.
The much sought after Prince of Gajner, Rishabh Shekhawat stood on the roof of the palace overlooking the vast expanse of the majestic fort, within his imaginations.
Everything was black for him. Imagination was a far fetched dream that no matter how hard he tried, won't come by. Though the only light in his life was his much adored sister, Geetanjli. He loved her passionately. He knew that if he would ever be able to see the light of sun, the shine of her face would be more than enough to brighten up his entire existence.
As he stepped into the world of reality, he could hear choti ma shouting after kavya, probably trying to wake her up. Sevak Ram and Chanda were already shouting their guts out at each other.
Rubbing his head slightly, he sighed. So much for expecting a fleeting moment of serenity.
"Sevak ram" he roared as the entire environment went still. Only the rustling of leaves and the gushing of air could be heard.
" Hukum" Sevak ram asked scared to death.
" The next time I see you two fighting, I will have you both participate officially in those akhada fights," he replied annoyed.
Chanda squealed scared. The thought of seeing half naked bulky man was enough to make her want to die of sheer embarrassment.
The tension of the air was sliced by the chiming sound of anklets.
" Geetu" Rishabh smiled calling out to her.
" Catch me" she challenged as she gathered her ghaghra and ran for her life. Rishabh followed pursuit relying on his sharp senses and keen judgement of his surroundings.
Their intertwined laughter echoed across the entire palace as they relived their childhood.
As he ran after her, all the maids working stared at him dreamily.
The grace in his poise
The roughness in his voice
His beautiful features
And so on.
The 28 year old, kunwar of Gajner was the most sought after groom of entire Rajasthan, who refused to be chained by the shackles of worthless relations.
He let his guard down only around his Geetu, and that made him miss a step.
He cursed.
"Damn"
Awaited the fall. But nothing came. Just a feathery touch.
" Bhai...are you OK?" Her voice shook with unshed tears as she held him in her arms.
" As long as I have you, I am fine" he replied smiling.
" I am sorry" she apologised linking their foreheads as her right hand brushed his lightly stubbled cheek.
He sighed.
" Now, don't be like that, it's no one's fault" He chided her as they both straightened away from each other's embrace.
No response came. And finally he could hear the chiming of anklets go away.
" What did I do?" He thought clueless as he put back the stoic expression on and proceeded for the day's events.
Geetanjli breathed heavily leaning against her room's door. Her chest heaved up and down as she closed her eyes only to see his face.
" Again? " she shouted in annoyance to no one.
Something was happening to her for the past few months. She could not stand even the slightest proximity with Rishabh.
A single sighting of him would make her stomach ache, in a weird fashion.
" He wears too much Cologne," she concluded huffing before a familiar feeling enveloped her again.
' So strong. So warm. So arousing'

"What the hell is arousing?" She shouted, comically banging her head against the wall.
" Not like that. Put more force," a voice came across her room pulling her out of her reverie.
" choti ma"
" Geetu, why do you insist on making the poor wall develop a hole?" She laughed.
Geetu made a face. Her sense of humor sucked.
"You are being weird than usual," she asked worried.
" Usual? You think I am weird" Geetanjli huffed turning away from her.
" Well, that's not rocket science" kavya butted in.
" There is no rocket science," Geetanjli retorted annoyed as she ran after kavya with her slippers in hand.
She threw a slip
