18. A needed heart to heart.

Start from the beginning
                                        

"कभी हमारी नज़र से खुदको देख लिया, तो अपने आप को खो बैठेंगी. इतनी हिम्मत भी नहीं होगी कि दुबारा देख पाए."

....he said slowly, calmly, daringly this time.

She kept looking at him, almost lost by how his words provoked her and mesmerised at the same time.

"अब ऐसे देखिए तो नहीं , मर गए तो आपसे यू मोहब्बत कौन करेगा."....he smiled at her.

She looked away immediately, not being able to handle the sea of emotion in his eyes.

"अगर ऐसे एक लड़की पे अपने आप को खो बैठेंगे तो राज गद्दी कैसे संभालेंगे?" ....she asked him this time.

"बस आप हमे संभाल लीजिए, फिर बाकी पूरी दुनिया हम संभाल लेंगे.".......he said as he matched her eyes, as he let out the truth his heart has been holding back all this time. 

She looked away immediately, overwhelmed at experiencing so many emotions at once.

" Find someone else, i am just a span of hours from disappearing." ......she stated with a monotonous voice.

" Try to disappear first. I'll give up the kingdom if I'm not able to find you. Convinced enough ?"

She chuckled mockingly.

" There's a thing called destiny, your majesty. We're not fated." .....she tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, amusing herself to hear "your majesty" from her mouth.

" That's not a strong enough reason for me. Breaking destiny and redesigning fate is the least I would do to attain you." ......he said, eyes burning holes on her cheeks.

" How ?" ...she questioned, this time matching his eyes again.

" Keep your focus on the end result, my soul. Leave the 'how' and 'when' to me."

" what did you just call me ?" .....her eyes widened, shocked beyond measure.

" फिरसे सुनना है तो जो मैं कहूंगा करना पड़ेगा. करोगी?" .....he chuckled, raising a brow in question.

She rolled her eyes, turning her head to the other side at an unimaginable speed.

" कभी ना कभी तो करोगी. वैसे भी इंतज़ार करने में हम माहिर हैं. " .........he chuckled to himself, getting up to go not before turning to take one last look at his rabbit.

" By the way, the phrase 'your majesty' never sounded hotter to me. I thought it was boring. Nevertheless, you've changed my views on the same." .......he said as his back was turned to ruh, looking towards the sky in an interested manner.

"The coronation of the Rajvanshi's is near, my lord."....Aksh said as Agastya stood in front of him and nodded silently.

"be precise".....he said.

"well, maybe its a coincidence but its just three-days after your coronation."....he said, eager to know Agastya's plan.

"perfect."....the soon-to-be-king smirked. 

"Ruh is departing in the evening with her mother for the Rajvanshi empire.".....Aksh added.
