Author's POV:

Harsha looked at his hand and smiled how his princess shyed away when he kissed her.

" You deserve this world my princess and I'm determined to give you that." Harsha said to himself.

Everyone sat on the dining table and the butlers served them with the royal cuisines.

" Princess Avaya?" Arihant called his daughter making her look at him along with Shlok, Nidhi and Aayod.

" Yes Papa?" She said.

" We have a proposal from Indranil and Kaivalya. " Arihant said pushing them into confusion.

" Proposal?" Aayod asked confused.

" Let's not beat the bush, Shlok, Nidhi, Arihant and Aditi, we are formally asking for Avaya's hand for our son Harsha Vardhan." Indranil said.

Arihant and Aditi stayed silent as they already knew but Shlok and Nidhi's faces paled listening to them.

" Why are you asking us?" Shlok asked.

" Cause you are her parents too." Aditi said making them smile.

" We have no objection Queen Aditi if Avaya is ok with the proposal. It's better to give her hand to someone known than to an unknown. And already both of them are friends." Shlok said.

" What do you say Avaya?" Nidhi asked her daughter.

" What's there for me to say when you people have already decided?" Avaya said deadpanned making Harsha pale. He expected a positive response from her but the indirect no from her broke his heart.

Only Kiaan know what Harsha will do when he is angry.

Avaya walked out of the dining room leaving everyone shocked.

Kiaan sensed Harsha's anger and got up to follow him who just walked behind Avaya.

But Avasya held her husband's hand nodding in no. Kiaan sat back but looked tensed.

Harsha walked into Avaya's chamber to see her standing in the balcony. There is no dupatta on her shoulder leaving her only in her blouse and lehenga. Harsha looked around to see her heavy dupatta on the bed.

He took that and walked behind her gently placing it on her head

He took that and walked behind her gently placing it on her head.

Avaya was taken back by the sudden dupatta over her head. She turned around to see her cousin Harsha standing infornt of her with a small smile.

" What do you want Harsha?" Avaya asked coldly.

" What happened princess?" Harsha frowned.

" Why do you keep calling me princess.... princess Harsha?" Avaya asked in tears.

" I don't want these namely pleasures. Please call me with my name." Avaya broke down.

Harsha held her safely in his arms and kissed his princess.

" This is not a wordly pleasure princess. It's a title your loved ones gave you. And I guess you don't remember. I've never called you with your name unless I'm angry. I always call you either Ava or Princess. Even in the college. I guess you never paid a heed to that!" Harsha said wiping those tears which are pricking his heart.

" Don't you like me Ava?" Harsha caressed her cheek making her heart go wild with his touch.

" It's not like that!" Avaya looked away.

" Look at me and say Ava!" Harsha pulled her not leaving an inch gap to pass the air between them.

" Hasha!" Avaya gasped.

" Don't you like me?" Harsha asked looking into her beautiful honey orbs.

" I do." She whispered making it more sensual.

" Don't you wanna marry me Princess?" Harsha asked directly without beating the bush. Avaya was taken back with his straight frowardness.

" I.... I ...." Avaya tried saying but Harsha placed his lips on her.

For few seconds nothing registered Avaya's mind. It was then when Harsha slightly moved his lips over hers making her face go all warm and red.

He stole her first kiss giving his kiss virginity to her. Soon Avaya's hand reached his hair both drowning into the pool of spells where neither of them know how to break that.

The sensual and beautiful kiss lasted until they ran out of the air.

Avaya moved away but Harsha had his grip on her.

" I love you Ava! " Are his words with the beautiful emotions swirling in his eyes.

Avaya looked at him all shocked. She never expected him to say her those words. Her Crush said I Love You to her.

Tears started flowing from her eyes without her contest. She is craving to hear these words since she was 18. She came out of the dining room not because she don't wanna marry him but because she don't wanna be in a loveless marriage.

But her tale turned out to be something else.

" Love! Ava! What happened?" Harsha panicked.

" What did you say Harsha?" Avaya asked without any expression.

Harsha's heart is drumming like crazy. He can't take it if she reject him. He loved her since he was a kid.

" I said I Love You. " Harsha repeated.

" I love you since you are a one day old baby Ava!" Harsha mumbled trying to read her face but she is an expert in masking all the emotions.

" Come with me Harsha!" She said and walked out of the chamber. Harsha followed her without may expressions but his ghost like face is giving out everything.

Kiaan expected him to be all angry and Avaya crying but here Harsha looked like he is shit scared but Ava looked all confident.

" I've made my decision everyone. And I would like to say it infornt of everyone." Avaya said boldly.

" Go ahead princess. " Arihant said.

" I guess Harsha is going to have The Hitch seeing his pale face and Avaya's boldness." Kiaan whispered to his wife which earned him a punch in his stomach.

" I'm ready to marry Harsha!" Avaya said looking into Harsha's eyes.

Everyone cheered but Harsha is just looking at his princess who pushed him to the doors of hell and pulled him back again.

His eyes portrayed different emotions. It held so much of love, lust, anger and mischievousness. Those are the same eyes to which Avaya fell in love with.

Avaya was walking in the corridor passing Harsha's chamber. Harsha pulled his princess into his chamber in the nick of a second.

" Ekant! " (Privacy!) Harsha's voice boomed in that floor making everyone leave and Avaya shocked.

Harsha closed the doors of his chamber and pushed her against the wall.

" Harsha! What are you doing?" Avaya asked in her trembling voice.

" Me?" Harsha asked innocently tracing his nose on her neck.

" Yes. You!" Avaya trembled in his embrace.

" Romancing with my fiancé!" He said and kissed her crook making her heart beat abnormally.

Avaya pushed him away and glared at him playfully.

" This is my kingdom and you are no one to order me Prince!" With this Avaya pecked his lips and walked out of his chamber leaving him smile goofily.

With Love ♥️
