Mohini POV 

After 6 days of grueling journey with short durations of rest and food, we returned to Suryagarh in the afternoon. 

That day after leaving Malwa we rested and washed the blood after leaving the border of Suryagarh. 

My thoughts would eventually go back to Yuvraj. 

Absurds thoughts like, 

Will Yuvraj despise me or disgust me? Will he break our relationship? Will he stop accepting me? 

Then those beautiful memories will annoy me and make me cry. 

When I would sleep I get the dreams of Yuvraj waking up so real that after I waking up my heart will shatter. 

And tears will start rolling down my cheeks, thinking and praying for him. 

We reached back Suryagarh in one piece just as I promised him. 

I am tired when I am intercepted by Swati's smiling face. 

She looks me over and says, 

'I knew Bai-sa that you will come back to us in one piece and we have a surprise for you too.'  

I have enough surprises to last me whole lifetime. 

My in-laws hate me, my husband is in coma because of me and my people still doesn't respect me even after becoming the Queen. 

I just shake my head. She obstructs my path and says, 

'You should go and freshen up because your gift is waiting for you in the garden and you should dress in something really nice.' 

I frown at that and sign, 

'I have no interest in seeing any surprises, I just want to freshen up and sleep on my bed with Yuvraj's kurta.' 

I move away from her to my room when her next words stop me dead in my tracks, 

'Even if the surprise is Yuvraj himself?' 

I turn to her with shock vibrating my body. 

I rush to her and sign, 

'Is he awake, is he healed?' 

She nods her head with smile and says, 

'Yes he is very much awake and also knows what you have done. He is getting out of his mind, worrying about you.' 

I sign just to make sure, 

'Are you saying truth? You are not giving me false hope, right? Because that will be cruel and I will fire you from your position.' 

She shakes her head and says solmenly, 

'I know how much important this news is to you, I won't ever lie to you about this.' 

I nod my head then rush to freshen up, I take a long, scented bath. 

Then I change into the royal blue lehanga he chose for me, remembering his hands on me. 

After wearing matching jewelleries and braiding my hair I go for the garden.

Swati obstructs my path and say, 

'You should eat something before you go to meet him because I know in happiness you will forget it.' 

I just shake my head because I want to see him first but she obstructs my path again and say, 

'I know you have not eaten anything and Yuvraj has already eaten so please for him just eat something.' 

My stomach takes this point to growl and I look up to find Swati with a raised eyebrow giving me the I told you so look. 

I just nod my head and she bring the plate of food. 

I wash my hand and eat the food as fast as possible. 

I wash my hands after eating and head toward garden with Swati following behind. 

I have just entered when my eyes fall on Yuvraj standing there looking at me. 

I check out him with my eyes to see if he is real or not, if he is truly healed or not. 

Then tears fill my eyes after soaking him up and lock my eyes with him. 

I don't notice anyone, no one exists for me and I rush to him. 

I hug him and when he hug me back, the breath I was holding without realizing is released. 

I haven't even realized that I was wound so tight but after touching him, hugging him my body relaxes into his. 

Someone clears the throat and we pull back, I smile sheepishly at him. 

I look around to find Viraj, Ekansh dewarsa and -- BAPUSAA, ROYAL PRIEST. 

My eyes turn wide at that with shock then lower my eyes with shame. 

My face feels hot with embarrasment. 

While Bapusaa and Royal Priest try to hide their smile. 

Without meeting their eyes I touch their feet to take their blessings. 

Royal priest blesses, 

'Sada khush rahiye aur saubhagyavati bhava. Sada Suhagan raho.' 

'Always be happy and fortunate. Always remain married.' 

Bapusaa blesses, 

'Jeete rahiye, Saubhagyavati bhava. Sada suhagan raho.' 

'Keep living, may you be fortunate. Always remain married.' 

He puts his hand on my shoulder and I look at him to see he is smiling at me and says, 

'I hope that you succeded in your mission and defeated them like the Queen of Suryagarh and my brave daughter-in-law.' 

My mind blews that, I could see the warmth in his eyes as it is used to. 

The acceptance in his eyes for me fill me with tears. 

At first I doubt he is doing this only in front of Yuvraj but I could see the sincerity in his eyes. 

Filled with emotion I gave him a wobbly smile and nod. 

He nods his head satisfied then says, 

'You have come back just now so go rest and spend some time with Agam while I keep your Bua-sa from interrupting you.' 

He says last bit playfully and I nod my head lowering my head, hiding my shy smile. 

I look back at Yuvraj and we lock eyes when Viraj puts his hand in him, he winces. 

I become worried instantly, he shouldn't be moving too much, Swati told me that the wounds aren't healed completely. 

I rush to him and sign worriedly, 

'When you are not healed completely then why are you moving so much? Is it hurting too much that you can't even move?' 

After Swati translates, he suddenly holds his upper arm and winces, 

'Aahhh.... Sach mein bahut dard ho raha hai, hum inn logo se bas yahi keh hi rahe the ki ghaav bahut dard kar raha hai aur jab hum yahan aa raha tha toh hume chakkar aa raha tha.' 

'Aahhh... I am really in a lot of pain, we just told them that the wound is hurting a lot and when I come here, I got dizzy.' 

I looked at Viraj and Ekansh who are looking at Yuvraj with wide eyes then sign which Swati translates, 

'You both should have stopped him from coming here, now stop staring at him and help him to our room, he can't walk on his own right now.' 

Yuvraj frowns in pain and lean on them, Viraj suddenly snatches his support from one side and he stumbles then straighten. 

I looked at him in shock at what Viraj dewarsa did. He sees my look, 

'Arrey, Bhabhisaa, hum toh inhe haath dene ke liye apna haath aage laa rahe the. Aaiye Agam aapko aapke kamre leke chale.' 

'Hey, Bhabhisa, I was just bringing my hand forward to give him a hand. Come Agam, let us take you to your room.' 

Ekansh dewarsa says, 

'Haa, haa, ab toh aap chal bhi nahi sakte Agam, paair jo toot jaenge aapke.' 

'Yes, yes, now you can't even walk Aagam, or your legs will break.' 

I frown at the weird way they are saying these things to Yuvraj and glaring at him.

Yuvraj doesn't meet their eyes and just winces more in pain and I indicate for them to take him to his room. 

They take both sides of Yuvraj and help him to our room while I with Swati follow them to our room. 

They make him sit on the bed and he lie down while I fuss over him. 

After he gets comfortable I ask Viraj and Ekansh dewarsa in signs which Swati translates, 

'How long are you both staying here?' 

Viraj replies, 

'Till he gets healed I will be staying here only.' 

I turn back to Yuvraj to find him staring at me smilingly, unblinking. 

Everyone also looks at him, Ekansh nudges him but he maintain his position and says, 

'Hmmm' 

Viraj ask him, 

'You know its really creepy when you stare at someone like that?' 

He just answers not budging from his position, 

'Hmmm' 

Ekansh says, 

'Will you come with me to bedroom?' 

He gives the same response. 

Viraj ask him, 

'If you go with him he will do very naughty things to you?' 

He just says, 

'Hmmm' 

Ekansh tries to hide his laugh while he dramatically flinging his hand around Yuvraj and says, 

'Hum aapko aapke bistar se baandh denge, phir aap itna chilaenge phir bhi hum aapko nahi chodenge.' 

'I will tie you to your bed, even though you will scream so much, I will not leave you.' 

At that we all step back and look at him with antonishment. 

He notices that and says, 

'What? You all were just enjoing that?' 

Viraj glares at him. 

'Jis tarah se abhi tumne bola na, jitne josh ke saath, aisa lag raha tha ki tum iss cheez ki sahi mein kalpana kar rahe ho.' 

'The way you spoke just now, with the amount of enthusiasm, it seemed as if you were really imagining this thing.' 

He steps back at that and says pelutantly, 

'Tum karo tu parihaas aur hum kre toh humare charitra mein khot? Ye toh galat hai.' 

'When you do then it is a joke and if I do then I am chracterless? This is so wrong.' 

Viraj just glare at him and say, 

'You won't say anything now, how much do you want to fall in Bhabhisaa's eyes?' 

I shake my head gaining their attention then sign which Swati tanslates trying to hide her laugh, 

'Don't worry about falling in my eyes, instead I worry about him becoming my step wife.' 

Viraj looks anywhere but him trying to hide his smile while Ekansh huffs in annoyance. 

Viraj controls himself then go close to Yuvraj and say, 

'Arre dekho Mohini ko leja ne ke liye aa gaye, wo bhi tumse dur.' 

'Hey look, they have come to take Mohini, that too away from you.' 

At that Yuvraj stands up hastily then grabs my hand and jerks me to him, trying to hide me and say looking here and there, 

'Where? Where are they? They will die before they even touch her.' 

Hearing that I warm up from inside that he think and worry about me so much. 

I slowly rub his back soothingly. 

When he sees nobody, he figures out that Viraj is annoying him. 

He glares at him and Viraj just shrugs in response, then looks at me straightening his kurta saying, 

'Thank me later, Bhabhisaa. Lets go, Ekansh.' 

Yuvraj grabs the small, heavy paper holder and goes to throw at him but I grab him. 

He stops, puts it down then shouts at them, 

'You both are forbaded to enter my kingdom for one month. Don't you dare show your face to me.' 

Ekansh turns then backwalks and shouts back, 

'I know, we love you too.' 

Hearing that Yuvraj moves after them but I keep my hold on him not because I am afraid that he will hurt them instead I don't want him to leave my sight for few hours. 

He looks down at me and smiles then say without looking away, 

'You take the rest of the day for yourself, Swati.' 

'But Yuvraj I have to be there for Rani-sa when she converse with anyone.' 

Confusion is visible in her tone. I am also confused. 

His smile turns into devilish smirk and says, 

'Chinta mat karo, humne tumhari Rani-sa ke liye jo yojana banai hai, uss mein unhe mere alava kisi aur se milana shaamil nahin hai aur vah bhi humare kamare mein.' 

'Don't worry, what I have planned for your Rani-sa doesn't involve her meeting anyone other than me and that too in our room.' 

I blush furiously at that, I look at Swati find her blushing too and she flees from there. 

He lies back on the bed again. 

I shake my head then climb the bed onto him trying to untie his kurts so I can check his wounds. 

Suddenly he wounds his hand around my waist and jerk me to him which makes me fall on him. 

I look up at him in confusion and find him staring at me with mischief. 

He puts his other hand also around me and pulls me up. 

He pulls up until I am practically lying on him. 

I laugh at that but I move careful of his wounds. 

I gently tap on his wounds, worried that he will open them if he put much force on them. 

He still looks at me as if he is memorizing me and answer me, 

'Jab tak aap humare baahon mein tab tak koi dard hume choo bhi nahi sakta.' 

'No pain can touch us as long as you are in my arms.' 

His words fills me with warm feeling and the feeling of guilt. 

I still haven't told him why I took him away from his palace and security and pushed him in the well of death. 

I lower my eyes so he can't see the guilt there. 

I will tell him and then whatever he will decide for our relation I will accept without any hesitation. 

Suddenly his hand comes under my chin then he raises my face to his. 

 He smiles and say, 

'Humse koi galti hui hai kya jo aap hume yeh dand de rahi hai?' 

'Have I committed any mistake that you are giving me this punishment?' 

Hearing that I jerk back, my eyes widen, I panic for a second that he found out. 

 He sees my look then caresses my face and says, 

'Jo aapne apni aankhon se hume vanchit kar diya.' 

'That you deprived me of your eyes.' 

I release my breath then shake my head and he smiles saying, 

'So don't ever take your eyes from me until we are in this room, because then I feel that you are punishing me.' 

He then adoringly kisses my forehead. 

Now I don't want to tell him the truth, I can't lose this, I can't lose him. 

It doesn't matter, I have already taken care of the problem. 

Telling him everything will achieve nothing but push Yuvraj away from me when finally I have him. 

I hide my face in his chest and hug him harder. 

He laughs and pulls my face out saying, 

'You are doing it again even after my warning.' 

He sees the tears in my eyes and frowns. He says caressesing my face, 

'Hum thik hai, Mohini. Hume kuch nahi hua, dekhiye hum aapke samne surakshit baithe hain.' 

'I am fine, Mohini. Nothing happened to me, see I am sitting safely in front of you.' 

The dam of tears I have been holding back is released and he fold me in his warm, familiar embrace. 

This feeling was I missing. 

Not the intensity between us. 

But this comforting and safe feeling which only he can provide me. 

Swati hugged me many times but no one could compare to this. 

I was thirsty of this for many days and waiting for him to envelope me in this comfort. 

I just didn't know how much until this moment. 

I can't jeopardize it. 

I can't tell him the truth, I don't have the courage to do it. 

If being coward I can have this then I am willing to become one. 

I know eventually the questions will come but till then I will enjoy this. 

When the time will come I will think of a way to evade that. 

I won't lie to him further but I will evade somehow from telling him.
