Chapter - 04 ᴍʏ ᴀʟᴏʀᴀ

As we all sat in the living room, Aisha introduced Jiya and Vihaan, the princess and prince of Rajasthan. She mentioned that there are three more cousins of Jiya and Vihaan, currently on vacation. While we were talking, Aisha excitedly hugged a man, possibly her best friend 'The king'.

As my eyes met his honey brown ones, 'Greek god' was the only word that came in my mind. He was handsome, tall, with a well-built body-perfect for a king. My heart raced as if it were in a marathon. Oh, my poor heart. Aanya, stop gawking. Maintain some distance and focus on being the best heart surgeon..

They were all discussing the wedding and functions, and I found myself lost in thoughts about how everything had changed. I was going to tell him that I was ready for marriage, but ended up hearing about his and Aisha's wedding. What will happen now if we face each other? Will I cry? Of course not. I shouldn't cry over that idiot. It's my Aishu's wedding, so no crying.

"Aani, where are you lost? I've noticed it for many days since you found out about that bastard; you keep zoning out. Just don't think about him; he doesn't deserve your love and your time, okay?" Aisha scolded. But what can I do? Our love faded, yet I was still attached to him. I never thought he would lie to me.

"Okay, my love, I won't think about him," I said. She nodded, but I noticed that Aarav was staring at me, which was quite distracting. However, I shrugged it off.

"Hello, ladies. What's going on here?" a beautiful lady approached us. She was wearing a crimson red saree that looked elegant, and she herself looked beautiful.

"Maa sa you finally came" jiya said hugging her.. ooh she is the former queen..

"Aunty, I missed you so much," Aisha said as she went and hugged her. The lady smiled and then looked toward me with a questioning expression.

"Who is this beautiful lady"

"This beauty here is my best friend Aanya Malhotra" Aisha said introducing me to the former queen

"Hello, Rajmata. Nice to meet you," I said politely, touching her feet to seek blessings.

"Nice to meet you too child" she said patting my head

"Aanya, is that you?" I heard a familiar male voice. As I turned, it was Uncle Dev. I smiled and went towards him, touching his legs to receive his blessings.

"Uncle how are you"

"I'm fine, and I'm meeting you after a long time. You have become skinnier. Why is that?" he said, showering me with many questions, making me chuckle and everyone else shocked.

"Dad, how do you know her?" Aarav asked Uncle. Don't tell me he is Uncle's son.

"She is Mr Malhotra's daughter"

"Really she is Divya's and yash's daughter" Aunty said in amusement and he nodded..

"Uncle, you here?" I asked, confused upon seeing him. Is he related to them?

"Oh, I never told you right. I am the former king of Rajasthan and the father of Aarav, Vihaan, and Jiya," he said, leaving me shocked.

"So, since my childhood, I have troubled the king of Rajasthan, and uncle, this is not fair, you never told me,"

"Aanya, my child, if I had told you, then you wouldn't be the real you. So, I hid it from you. Sorry, daughter," he said.

"Ok I forgive you, You know Aanya Malhotra has a big heart" I said making him chuckle.

"Aanya, don't you take care of yourself ? Look, you seem weak, now that you're here. I personally will take care of you," he said, making all of us laugh. He is like a father to me; he used to visit our house and was the one who convinced my mother to send me to Delhi for studying. I respect him a lot, and he loves me as his daughter.

"Uncle, don't worry; I'm all fine. As for taking care, how's your health? You know, because of my studies, I was not able to meet you. I'm sorry for that," I said, showing him puppy eyes like an innocent child.

"Oh, my child, I'm fine. See, still young like Aarav and Vihaan," he said, winking, making me laugh.

"Dad, you know you are old. Stop impressing her; that's my job, you know," Aarav said, making my cheeks go red. What the hell does he mean by his job?

"Aaru, stop flirting with this child; you're making her blush," Aunty said.

This is so embarrassing! Why the hell is he flirting with me? From the information I have heard about him, he is a cold ass and doesn't talk much to strangers. And why the heck is he staring at me so intimately?

"Maa sa, as you said, you were going to search for a bride for me, but I guess you don't need to because she is already here," he said, forming a mischievous smile on his face.

Aarav Singh rajvansh I'm gonna kill you if I get the chance!!!

(Author-Poor aanya this man gonna be the death of her and mine as well.. I'm shyy😂)

"Stop flirting with my best friend, Aarav," Aisha said, fake glaring at him. Thank God she saved me. I love you, Aishuuu!"

"Uncle, say something. Your son is flirting with me. You once scolded a guy who was flirting with me. See, now he is openly flirting with me," I said, showing him puppy eyes. Mr. Aarav, wait and watch; flirting with me was your bad choice.

"Aarav, you can't do that. Look, her face is all red. Stop with your fun," Uncle said, making me pout. Him scolding Aarav is okay, but laughing at me is not okay.

"Okay, okay, everyone go and take rest; you all might be tired," Aunty said, and all started leaving for their rooms.

I was heading towards my room, but I felt someone following me. As I turned, I saw Aarav behind me.

"What are you doing Mr rajvansh??"

"Just making sure that Ms. Beautiful doesn't get lost in this damn palace," he said mischievously, smiling.

Idiot!!

"Oh, thanks for caring, but I don't accept free care."

"You look cute when you're grumpy My Alora"

"What's with that different word, Mr. Rajvansh? And since when did you start flirting with strangers?" I asked.

"From the time I laid my eyes on you, I love making you flustered, as you are now and The word is for me to know and you to find out," he said, winking at me.

"Aarav, stop with this nonsense. Being a king doesn't mean you should do all these things, and while you may be the king of Rajasthan for your people, you're not mine," I said, having had enough of his flirting. Let's see how he reacts.

"Aanya, you stepping into Rajasthan makes you mine, and as for being your king, I can be more than just a king to you," he said, smirking. I wish I could wipe that smirk off his face.

"Good night My Alora"

He said that word again, ugh! Stomping my foot, I went inside my room. Shrugging off his thoughts, I completed my night routine and applied some moisturizer to my skin. Heading towards the bed, I lay down, but curiosity struck. What's the meaning of 'Alora' ? I got up, took my phone, opened Google, and typed the word. What the heck... it says

-My Dream (meaning of Alora)

How did I become his dream? I guess he's not a king but a psycho, idiot, duffer. If murder wasn't a sin, I would kill him now.

Jismon ke peechhe,

bhaage ho phirte

Utro kabhi rooh mein ho..

Hota kya aashiq, kya aashiqhi hai

Hogi khabar tab tumhein...
