When I woke up, I was in a common man's hut. What was I doing here? I got up from the bed, which was made of... straw?

I saw a lady coming towards me. She offered me water. I asked her how I had reached here. She told me that I had been unconscious and in that time Yuvraj had married me.

"Why did he marry me in that state?" I asked.

The woman further explained that the auspicious time for the wedding was passing out so he had to carry me in his arms and complete the rounds around the fire.

This man is really strange. But I like him.

// yay! they're married 🥳 //

After some rest, we headed towards what I assumed to be Vyushti. Dear kingdom, here I come!

After two days of travelling, I figured out that the place we were travelling to wasn't Vyushti but Meghpushp. But I felt like not asking the reason behind this to Yuvraj.

After reaching Meghpushp, I looked out of my palanquin. The city was decorated with flowers and a joyous mood was spread all over.

As we entered the palace, I saw people's faces dropping at the sight of Yuvraj with me. Maybe they did not expect me here.

But, maybe the next moment the same expression was to be on my face. Who knows?
