Jemisha - The Queen Of Darkness

Sangani

He looked at me confused and the next second he got on his feet and ran toward the door to glance outside from the space between dry grasses straw.

"Come out before we drag you out or burn you alive with this hut", the old man again threatened us, but we did not move an inch. He continues analyzing the situation and I stand behind him waiting for him to act.

"They are too many in numbers with weapons and fire lights in their hands", he mumbled and looked at me.

"I'm counting for ten either you came out or we will drag out and punish you for the sin you committed", they again screamed in anger making me roll my eyes in annoyance. If they have a slight idea of whom they were dealing with, I am sure their breath struck their lungs.

Theirs count started, and he looked at me and grabbed the hem of my veil to cover half of my face.

"Do not speak a word until I said and please trust me", he said in a thick voice full of emotions.

He opened the door and was about to take a step outside when I grab his hand and he turned toward me, when I squeezed his hand a little and passed him a smile.

"I do trust you", I said to him in a small voice and a smile adoring his face.

With the last count, we stepped outside together hand in hand. The crowd stopped its movement when they saw us with an intensity of crumbling us down. His hold tightens and takes a step forward. Due to my veil, I'm unable to look at them properly. Their rough, burly figure danced in front of my eyes under my veil.

"Who are you and what were you doing here?" the old man asked us.

"We're voyagers and last night we were crossing your village, but harsh weather stopped us, and we were forced to spend the night here", he replied confidently.

They were all silent for some time and whispered a start between them. They didn't believe him. A man looked at us with a nasty gaze and come forward.

"They are lying, Dada. I'm sure they are cooking up the story to save themselves, or they run away from their houses for love and now hiding here to save themselves.", he said, and other villagers agreed with him.

"YES, YES, PUNISHED THEM ", a chorus, filled the humid air. They looked too eager to finish us. The old man showed his palm and the whole crowd fell silent. He takes a few steps forward and asked,

"Who is she to you?", with that question everything stills and sweat start forming on my forehead. He comfortably squeezed my hand and told me to trust him.

"And dare to lie, young man. You can sense the hunger of your blood and lust for the lady in this crowd. They will not waste a second, tearing you apart. If you dare to lie to them". The old man threatened him, and he scoffed in the face of the old man the crowd growled at him, and he just rolled his eyes in annoyance. Making me scoff at the audacity of this man.

What does he think about himself, I agreed he is brave, a good fighter, and so on but lacks in mind. He is indirectly challenging them on their land. A stupid man needs some brain.

"Sangani Hai hamaari (she is wife) and I dared your crowd to touch her single hair, and you will them under the ground...... DEAD", his roar made me freeze and others shivered.

"Your wife", the old man confirmed.

"My wife", he said, shrugging and pulling me closer.

"Wait... I'm your what?" I whispered harshly in his ear when my mind registered his word, and he passes the crowd a big, forced smile before grabbing my waist in his harsh grip.

"Shut up and follow the suit, if you want us to survive", he growled and released his harsh grip from my waist.

"But she didn't even look married, she had no jewelry on, not even her nuptial chain.", the old man smartly points out.

"Where is your nuptial chain?" a woman asked me.

"How would I know? When I just got to know about my marital status. Asked him don't me", the words are on the tip of my tongue, but I somehow control myself from spitting facts. Fucking situation.

"Yeah, about that....... we got robbed last night", he said with a big pause in between.

"Weren't we Isha?", he said, and I only nodded in return.

"Lair, you're both just making up stories from saving yourself from our Wrath", a young man gritted his teeth and start hitting his stick on the ground and others follow the suit.

"Ahh, you need proof", he huffed loudly.

"Isha what's my name", his question leaves me dumbfounded.

How will I know? I don't know anything about you, stupid. All I want is to smack his face hard and knock some sense in him.

"Tell us, child", an old woman asked.

"I... I do....", for the first time in my whole life, I shuttered badly, and he cut me off.

"She never takes my name, just like a dutiful wife she is ", he said to them and rub my back in a comforting way.

"And if you still don't believe us, I will make you believe", after having said that, he walked toward a plump man and exchanged a few words with him. I silently lift my veil from my face and color left my face when I noticed what is that man planning to do.

He came to me and looked into my wide eyes blinking his eyes telling me to believe me but can I, the question arises in my mind but was suppressed quickly when he filled my hairline, claiming me as his wife in front of this world. Every fiber of my body started screaming anxiously, my heartbeat at its peak and my mind losing consciousness, tears start falling, and my soul left my body when he removed a sacred thread from his wrist and tied it around my neck.

"Is it enough proof, or do you want us to take holy rounds too", his contented voice rang in the air making them drop their eyes. 

Finally, the phase of love starts yaayyy!!!!!💓
