                    Swadheenta
Morning
I turn on the bed and open my eyes and see Rehan standing in front of the mirror closing his shirt cuffs. Where he is going this early? I look towards the clock it's almost 10 am.
I don't want to get up but I want to talk to him, so I get up and go towards him.
" Hii," I said.
" Hii," he said without even looking at me.
" Good morning," I said a little louder with enthusiasm.
" Morning" he groaned.
Maybe he is not a morning person.
" How are you?" I screamed this time.
" GOING DEAF if you keep screaming like that," he said gritting his teeth looking at me. He sighs and turns around making his way towards the door.
No, he can't go like this I want to talk to him.
I run towards the door and block his way spreading my arms.
" You can't go"
" Why?"
" Because you can't" he raises his eyebrow at me.
" I can't understand what you said, you asked everyone to leave so we can spend time together with each other but you didn't even stay at home" he open his mouth to say something but I interrupt.
" Instead of going to our honeymoon, I don't know, where you are going? You're running away from me like it's not 3 days from our marriage but 3 years", he close his eyes and sighed.
" Say what do you want?" He asked not interested.
" I want you to hear my demands..." I bite my tongue. Flow flow me nikal gaya " I mean listen to me, my feelings that's how we come closer right and yeah I also want a closet like you", he looks at me from sometimes then push me aside and walk past me.
Did he listen to what I said?
-----
" Hii Bhai " I greeted him.
" Hii" he replied through video call.
Right now I'm sitting in a stoll and behind me a bar which is in the mansion, enjoying a glass of wine.
" How's it is?" I asked showing the bottles which are placed on in shelf.
" Where are you?"
" Inside the mansion, what say Bhai should I sent all these bottles to our club? It will be so profitable for us"
" It's your husband's "
" So what? It's not like he'll drink all this, he won't even know if some of them are not here"
" He won't, but you can drink all" suddenly Kirti come and said.
" Shut up Kirti, itni bui badi bewdi nahi hu me"
" Chal jhuti"
[ Lier]
" Sacchi"
[ True]
" Ok then show me both of your hand" I place the glass on the table platform behind me and show her my hands, she shakes her head.
" What? You don't believe me? I'm not drinking"
" Lier"
" What? Lier? How can I lie? Main toh..."
" Bholi hu na" Bhai and she completed my sentence and we both chuckled.
[ Naive]
" Yeh kya newly wedded bride is not wearing sindoor and mangalsutra" Kirti gasped dramatically.
" Yeah didn't apply"
" Why? Won't your Sasuma say something?" She asked.
" My Sasuma is not here in fact no one is here"
" What do you mean by no one is here?" Bhai asked worriedly.
" I mean only me and Rehan is here"
" And where is your husband?" Kirti asked raising her eyebrow.
" I don't know" I shrugged.
" You don't know" she repeated" you know only 3 days happened after your marriage and you don't know where is your husband"
" I suggest you should keep an eye on him"
" Yeah keep on him" I frowned when I heard Bhai say that.
" Bhai you? Hey Kirti stay away from him"
" In your dreams"
" Did he tell you something about his family or anything?" Bhai asked, I shake my head.
" What if he has a wife and whole family and you're just his time pass that's why he is behaving like that"
" Shut up Kirti stop assuming such things" I cut the call and gulp the rest of my drink in one go.
There is nothing like that. First Rehan's behaviour is suspicious and now Kirti's talk, my mood is ruined.
I jumped down from my seat. Let's explore around the mansion maybe I'll feel nice.
I don't know what kind of Chomu husband I got. Only his face is nice. Kirti was right sakal or akal ka koi vasta nahi hota.
[ Their is no relation between outer appearance and smartness]
But no matter what I said he is not a Chomu if he is, he would have been here with me listening to my demands. Boys used to run after me and I didn't even look at them but him, he is not even looking at me.
If Kirti will know about this she'll laugh at my face.
I walk around the mansion and I come in front of a room and open the door and goes inside. It's a huge room and it has no furniture in it there are huge windows around it.
Wow, it's perfect for one thing.

Rehan Pratap Singh
Both brother and sister are getting on my nerves.
I stop the car in front of the mansion and come out from it closing the door with a thud. Because of her, I forgot to bring the important file.
I go upstairs towards my room and start looking for my file. I groaned frustratingly when I didn't find the file.
I placed it in the drawer bedside bed than why is not it here. Did she place it somewhere? "
"What I'm even thinking she will do that much work" I chuckled. The whole day she does only three things: dress up, makeup and sleep. She lives like she is an actual Princess.
What I'm thinking I come here to find file not to think about her. I start looking around. In business, her brother is creating problems for me and in a house she. What she asked, a closet for herself.
Yeah, I'll build a Palace for her.
I open the drawer and found the file. I come out of the room and start descending the stairs when I heard something and I stop in my tracks.
Chan, chan, chan.
Is this... Is this sound of ghungroo?
But how it can come from here. I followed the sound of ghungroo. I remember Maharaj used to say stay away from even the sound of them. They are enough to make a king a pauper.
A good king stays away from these things or else he won't even know when he lost everything.
It's coming from inside I open the door and my eyes widen. It's Swadheenta who is dancing wearing them.
Believe me, I have no problem with dance and ghungroo it's a talent but do Bharatnatyam, Kathak, etc, she is not doing one of them.
Hamri atariya pe
Aaja re sanwariya
Dekha-dekhi tanik hoi jaaye
Hamri atariya pe
She moved her hand towards her and raise her eyebrow one by one then bite her lower lip seductively.
Padosan ke gharva jaiho
Jaiho na sawariya
Sautan sapoli mori kaate jeheriya
Jeheri najariya...
By her moves and expression, I can say she is good at it. What the hell I'm doing!
^^^^^^^^^^
Swadheenta
Aaja atariya pe pilai doon angoori
Jora-jori tanik hui jaaye
I open my arms and start twirling.
" Enough" A voice boomed in the room and I stop. Rehan is standing at the door looking seething with anger.
Why? He is looking at me like I eat his all chocolates.
" What the hell you're doing!" He shouted at coming towards me. He can see perfectly what I'm doing then why he is asking me.
" Dance"
" I can see it damnit" he shouted.
Then why did you ask me?
" Take them off " he signalled with his eyes towards my feet" and you'll not dance ever" he turned and start walking towards the door, I frowned at him, what problem did he have?
" Hey wait " I run after him he stops and hissed touching his ear like the sound of ghungroo hurts him, I stand in front of him.
" Why? I can not dance and what problem you have. You're not talking properly to me, you're behaving like I did something wrong to you"
" You did everything wrong" I heard him mumbling.
" I don't understand", he looks at me and sighs closing his eyes. He opens his eyes and smile at me placing his hands on my shoulders.
" You're a Princess, right?" I nodded immediately.
" Then start behaving like one"
" Like?"
" I'll tell you now remove them and listen to me you have to do all this from today" I listened to everything he said.
----------
After few days
Night
I was going towards the room after making dinner. That day he asked me to prepare breakfast, lunch and dinner for him along with taking care of the home and I agreed.
I open the door and saw him throwing his jacket on the floor.
" Tumhe dikhta nahi hai" I shouted because I have to clean and place everything in its place, he turned and raise his eyebrow at me.
[ Can't you see!]
" Aap dekhiye na vo ganda ho jayega" I corrected myself and instead of placing it in right place and he just throws it on the couch, but I control myself from lashing out.
[ Place it nicely it will get dirty]
" Dinner is ready"
" I have already eaten" he opens his laptop and starts working. If you don't want to eat you could have said earlier.
I get downstairs and serve food for myself. I don't like cooking and I only know how to make three dishes: roti, daal and chawal and he eat it only one day then he starts eating outside, it's not like his behaviour change it's still like before he goes to the office before I wake up and come home late. We barely even talk with each other.
I place my hand on the table and dust stick on my hand.
" Now I have to clean it too" I groaned.
-----------
Morning
I take the broom and start cleaning the floor.
I remember what used to say to my Ma.
" I wish we have a palace" I said.
" Then who will clean it?" Ma asked.
" Arrey Ma if we have a palace why would we clean it we have so many helpers"
Now look at me I have a mansion and I can't clean it. I bend down to clean the under the bed when my gaze fell on my reflection on mirror and I stop.
I stand up and take steps towards the mirror and look at my reflection. My hair which always remains open now tied in a bun, my face which bare of any makeup which was always glowing now my dark circles are showing, my neck is empty where I always wear my diamond necklace, I look at the end of my pink colour saree with was tied on my waist, the hands in which I always wear bracelets, rings and bangles are now empty and I holding a broom.
" I'm a Princess"
Instead of a Princess, someone else is standing in front of me.
" This is not me" I leave the broom.
" This is it I'll not stay like this" I adjusted my saree and open my hair. I'll talk to him.
He is in the study room, I go towards there. I was about to open the door when I heard voices from inside and I lean on the door to hear properly.
" Did she sign?"
" No not now" it's Rehan's voice " but I'll take her signature soon and throw her out of..." the door gets open and I fell inside.
