51.My wife.

So here is the update....Happy reading..Hope it will be according to your expectations..My all comment box is yours... 😘😘

Adhvan sat in front of his parents who was looking uneasy a bit.

Adhvan raised his eyebrows when Uday Singh started speaking, "We want to talk to you about something."

He nodded his head wanting them to continue.

Vasudha asked straight, "Do you have someone in your life?"

Adhvan squirmed on his seat, "Uh... No."

Uday Singh nodded and caressed his beard, after thinking for a minute he said, "I want you to marry Raina."

"What!!", he screamed in shock. It was like world slipped beneath his feet.

"Volume down.", Vasudha hissed.

Adhvan took a breath to calm his heart which was ready to take a somersault.

But he huffed in anxiety,"Baba sa... Maa sa.. How could you?"

Uday Singh asked with a keen gaze on Adhvan, "Why? Why we can't?"

He raked his mind fora reason and found the most obvious one, "Umm.. Because she is like couple of years elder."

Vasudha asked raising her eyebrows,"So?"

Adhvan was getting more nervous by each passing moment,"So.. We can't marry. She is a sister figure to me. And why me? Bhai sa is eldest. Right? So why not Bhai sa?"

'Please, Bhai sa is all set to marry her. Trap him,not me' he thought.

Rana sa placed his one hand on Adhvan's knee and said calmly,"We thought of Adhiraj but I found you more apt for her. See, she had a rough past, she needs someone who will let her in his life easily and Adhiraj is not easygoing. He is disciplined and strict in personal life too. He is not up for relationships for now and changing his verdict is not anyone's cup of tea. And with you she will be more happy, I am sure you will make her smile everytime with your jolly behavior."

Vasudha added, "I want her to stay in our family for life time. She had stayed away from her home and us for long."

Adhvan tried once again, "But.. Why don't you talk to Bhai sa once about marriage?"

Vasudha shook her head, "Remember when Rana sa told him to pretend to Divya about marriage. I don't think I need to remind you about his reaction."

Adhavn started,"But..."

'But it is about Raina, not Divya. Believe me, he won't hesitate before marking her as his.',he wanted to say it but kept it confined in his mind only not knowing if his brother would appreciate the revelation of secret at that moment.

Adhavn dropped his head on his hands, seriously it was just too extreme for him.

"Take your time but you will have to do this Adhvan. Think it as a favor I am asking from you.", Uday Singh said. He himself was not feeling good for forcing his son but he had his own reasons.

Adhvan's head snapped towards his father. Rana Uday Singh Rathore asking favor? That too from him?

"Baba sa!!! Don't say like that please..", he pleaded.

"Why are you so adamant on getting me married to her? Don't you think I am a bit immature for her?", he tried to talk some sense.

"She is betrothed to Royals.",Vasudha dropped a bomb.

Adhavn was again shocked,"What!!!How?"

"Just think it as a promise given by a Rajput.", Rana sa shrugged.

"So she is betrothed to me?", Adhvan asked dreading the answer.

"No. Not you in particular, we gave a promise to include her in the family and no other way can be more good than this.", Vasudha smiled.

"Oh god.", Adhvan ran his hand through hair.

"Adhvan, go and take rest.", Rana sa said.

"I better should.", Adhavn stood up and ran out of the room.

His mind was not working properly, after thinking about a minute he ran towards crown prince's room.

🔅🔅🔅

"Please Bhai sa, do something otherwise I will ran to some secluded place.", Adhavn said seating on the the bed.

Adhiraj was facing the large door which lead to balcony still dressed in his office cloths. The glass pieces scattered around him.

His hands were placed on his waist. Even from behind, Adhvan could easily make out those tensed muscles.

Adhiraj turned around letting Adhvan have a full view of his furious eyes , tight jawline and stern face.

He ran his thumb on his eyebrow and closed his eyes.

Why things were getting difficult? He realised his love but what about her? She was still living in her little bubble, battling her own demons.

She was peaceful, away from the intense feeling he had for her while he was preparing himself and herself both for next step in their one sided relationship.

On the other hand, his own parents thought his brother as a perfect match for her. Wow.

It wasn't like hhe couldn't change the decision of his parents, the main thing was the respect he had for them, it didn't allow him to disregard them.

He opened his eyes and took a step forward. A piece of broken glass came under his shoes, he looked down as he felt something crushing beneath his foot.

He took a sharp breath looking at it. "Be calm", he chanted that mantra in his mind.

He started walking towards the exit. Adhvan looked at him confused, "Bhai sa, where are you going?"

He ignored him and went out of the room.

He took a breath before knocking on the door.

🔅🔅🔅

"But Maa sa, don't you think that Adhvan is not ready for marriage, he is young yet and also he is younger than Raina.", Adhiraj tried to put forth his point.

"He will manage Adhiraj. He-",Rana Uday Singh tried said but was cut off by crown prince.

"Baba sa, don't disturb Adhvan now. He is just out from his college. And why sudden topic of marriage,that too for him? He is youngest of all."

"You can't force him, leave about him. What about Raina? Do you really think that she is going to be okay with it? Do you really think that she will marry Adhvan?", he panted slightly. He was trying to make them understand from last half an hour.

"I am sorry but I am totally against this.", he huffed. His anger was reaching its peak but he was hiding it. He was hiding his furious eyes by looking here and there in the room.

"I can't let this happen on any cost.", he muttered and clenched his hand in a tight fist.

"Yuvraj sa, what are you hiding?", Vasudha asked looking closely at his tensed demeanour.

He was looking restless and angry.

"What? Nothing. Maa-", His attention was suddenly drawn to his mother.

Vasudha took a breath and asked with a stern tone,"I asked what is it? I want a straight answer."

Queen's eyes were warning him not to tell anything else other than what she asked.

He diverted his eyes, glaring at the floor.

'Why this is so tough!!'

His mind was dwelling on the consequences, positive and negative both.

What if things go downhill? What if any conflict arises? There were so many 'what if's going in his mind.

He was blunt with his words, but that doesn't mean that he didn't know where to speak and where to not?

If it would have been any other person even Raina in front of him then he wouldn't hesitate to tell the reason of his anger but case was different here, his parents were questioning him.

"Are you going to tell her?", now his father had enough.

Adhira interlaced his fingers, taking deep breaths, his heart was pumping in anticipation.

He looked up at his mother's and father's face, he said finally, "Raina is my wife."

"Wh..what? Raina is your? ", Uday Singh asked again not believing his ears whereas Vasudha was stilled on her place.

"Wife.. She is married to me.",he sighed.

A thick atmosphere was formed in room. Half of a second passed in pin drop silence untill Vasudha whispered in shock, "When?"

Adhiraj was feeling not good after seeing her shocked face,at least she was showing some emotion unlike Rana sa whose face was neutral.

He uttered,"Approximately six moths ago."

"When are you both going to tell us about it?", Rana sa roared in the silence.

Adhiraj looked at him wide eyed along with his wife.

Adhiraj quickly said, "Baba sa, it was not something planned,it was an accident."

Seeing their curiosity itched face, he explained the happenings of that eventful night when destiny tied two different souls together.

"I was paralyzed due to poision and she was helpless, even she don't know that I was listening everything, she don't know about me knowing about our marriage. I don't know if it held any significance for her but it does for me. She is my wife.",Adhiraj said in a grave tone.

Vasudha signalled towards a table and said, "Adhiraj, are you seeing that dagger?"

Adhiraj looked at the table and find the same knife which Raina had.

He nodded his head.

Vasudha smiled, "It was your dagger. On that unlucky day, it was laying in my car because you forget to take it with you. When she was going with that emotionless face, I couldn't control myself and I put that it in her bag. You know what it means?"

Adhiraj looked at her wanting her to continue whatever she was saying.

"In ancient times, whenever king or prince had to go on war at the time of marriage then princess would used to get married with his sword or dagger. Because for a warrior, his sword is like a soul, a second self to him. It is a mirror of warrior. We have it to her, we made her a part of our family, by making her betrothed to the Royals.",Uday Singh explained it to him making Adhiraj's breath hitch at the information.

Vasudha said,exhaustion evident in her voice,"We were not sure about it when we gave it to her. I thought that in future we will decide according to the situation."

Adhiraj asked with a frown on his face,"Then why Adhvan?"

Uday Singh shrugged, "I thought that she will be more happy with him. Moreover your reaction about marriage was not something positive according to us."

Adhiraj said, "The decision is in the hands of you two, I believe you both most in the world. Whatever you will finalise, I am ready to go along with it."

He said but even he knew that his parents won't even think of marrying Adhvan and Raina after this revelation.

"But just one thing, your eldest son is capable of keeping someone happy. I agree,I don't show emotions but that doesn't mean that I don't understand them.", he stood up and said with a tinge of hurt in his voice.

Vasudha looked at his retreating back with a sad face thinking that she hurted him but Rana sa narrowed his eyes.

'Did he just use diplomacy here?',he smiled slightly at his son.

Adhiraj turned the door knob, ready to go out but he stopped and took a single and last glance at the knife kept on table.

"You are destined to be mine Raina.", he muttered looking ahead.

"And you will be mine soon. Very soon.", a smirk came on his lips.

🔅🔅🔅

Raina looked at everyone on the table. The elder Rathores were looking a bit down, while Adhiraj was eating his food with a neutral face but the clenched jaw was giving away something else.

And don't ask about Adhvan? He was looking so restless, just like a kid who want to run away because the doctor is going to pierce him with injection.

But Adya was looking okay. She shrugged and focused on her food, but after a minute her eyes again went to Adhiraj who was taking a spoonful of rice near his mouth but he raised his eyes.

Her eyes collided with his as he chewed his food, Raina's eyes fluttered down seeing him not diverting his eyes.
