Maya : Ek deewangi

5. Sultan's proposal

MAYA'S POV ~
His expressions turned cold all of a sudden and i could feel the anger in his voice as he yelled at me
" Khamosh rhiye Maya,humne apko apni baat rkhne  ka haq zaroor  adah kiya hai magar humme hmari cheezon ke sath kya krna hai kya nhi ye hum khud tay krenge aap nhi "  i felt suffocated and internally hurt listening to his bitter words but...but  practically he was right i was just a" Thing "  who was sold by a man and bought by the other one ...my eyes turned a little teary  and suddenly his voice caught my attention" Suna hai hindustan ki auratein behad haseen hein ,agr aap schme apni aur apne mulkh ki azaadi chahti  hein toh " I frowned as i felt something very wrong with his intentions  "Toh ??" I asked in a loud voice , he walked a little closer
" Toh ya toh   aap hmari shareek-e-hayat , hmari begum bnkr hmare sath hmari sultanate chlengi ya hum apke mulkh ki  abaroon rkhne wali har auraat ko  apne mulkh lejakar ..."  I pushed him away "Apki himmat kaise hui " i felt the sudden urge to kill him ,but what else I could expect from him ?? He was a  bloody killer and his words ,his intention showed his real face ,he was an animal driven by lust and desire .

SULTAN'S POV~

I asked her to marry me or should I say i provoked a lioness to eat  me raw , ...i smirked  as she stood  right in front of me with fire burning in her hazel eyes ,her hands were tightly fisted on the collar of my overcoat,i pushed her even more closer by her waist " Hamari himmat apne abhi dekhi hi khan hai Mallika .." she tried to move and i tightened my hold on her waist leaning closer to her ear "Humne suna hai aap apne bhaijaan ke bete se behad mohbaat krti hein  " her protests stopped immediately and she looked into my eyes with her teary ones " Aap chahte kya hein Sultan.." she spoke in her trembling voice i chuckled a little  " Hum toh aapko chahte hein Mallika "  her eyes showed  the urge to kill me right away but she was a lioness who wasn't ready to step back from the promises she had,she  couldn't run away from her responsibilities and that's what made her the real Queen .She left my collar   "hum apse vivah krne ke liye tyaar hein Sultan "  her words left me confused and awestrucked "Prantu hmari kuch shrtein hein "  ,i smiled internally she's trying to play with me.

THIRD PERSON'S POV ~

" Jis manzar prr aap khdi hein hone wali begum sahiba uss manzar prr apke pass apni aur apne Mulkh ki izzat gwane ya phir hmari Sultana bnkar hmari  izzat ban ne ke illawa koi dusra chara nhi hai..aur rhi baat Shart rkhne ki toh hmare samne khdde hokar shrt rkhne ke liye haseeyat aur takaat dono hi nhi hein apke pass .. behtaar hoga ki aap hmari Begum bnkr Dularab  chle , vrna humme apko kuch aur bnakar lejane me bhi koi harz nhi hoga " his words acted as salt to her wounds , she smiled sarcastically " Shma kijiye ga SULTAN AMIR QASIM prntu hum jante nhi the ki aap itne tuch aur gire hue vyakti hein " he laughed at her words like a maniac and suddenly he twisted her hands behind her back 
" Bohot khoob...hone wali begum sahiba prr jante toh humare Abba Jaan bhi nhi the ki apke Walid masihe ke vesh me bhediye niklenge ..jante toh hum bhi nhi the ki aapke bhaijaan ek ghuspathiye ki trh hmari Jaan lene ki koshish krenge "  he said in a dangerous tone  ,her eyes were now  closed because of his loud voice  ,he smirked at her closed eyes and leaned a little closer  to her ears  " Vse  jante toh hum ye bhi nhi the ki bhediyon ki mehfil me ek haseen junglee billi bhi rehti hai ..." 

SULTAN'S POV ~

She opened her eyes quickly hearing the word " Junglee billi " for herself , her nose turned red out of anger and i tried my best to not smile at her expressions,she struggled  to get out of my hold "Yadi hum apko itne hi junglee nazar aate hein toh kyu humse vivah krne ke liye hmari haseeyat tak jhuk rhe hein Sultan " she said and i could clearly feel the sarcasm in her words ,she's truly a wild cat ,i almost touched her lips with mine but her nose ring acted as a barrier  and she shivered a little at my words "kyunki hmare sar prr iss junglee billi ko apna bnakar rkhne ki deewangi chdi hai ..." I loved the effect i had on her as she stood quite and shocked .I left her hands and clapped two times ,soon one of the maids entered the courtroom with a huge silver plate covered with a red cloth ,i removed the cloth looking into her (Maya ) eyes as she was still trying to figure out something ,she came out of  the eye contact as i held her right hand firmly just to slip the red diamond ring in her ring finger ,i kissed the back of  her hand lightly
"Sagai mubarak ho hone wali Begum Shahiba ..."  and a fresh tear escaped her beautiful eyes , she didn't said a word nor did she protest , i felt my heart sinking but this wasn't the right  time .  "Shehzaade Qadir se jakar khiye ki wo  Begum ke khandan ko shadi ki tyarian krne ke liye  iktilha krde aur...unse ye bhi khiyega ki wo ammijaan ko nikaah ki tyarian krne ka pegam phocha de " i ordered the maid but my eyes were still fixed on her , she was lost in her own world, her eyes were glued to her ring finger as if she was trying to get a conclusion  . I walked a few steps towards her coughing a little grabbing her attention  " Hum chahte hein ki aap wo sari rsme nibhaye jo apke aur hmare majhab me di gyi hein...agle 2 din ke baad isi jgah prr apki aur hmari shadi apke majhab ke mutabik hogi aur Dularab me pohchkar hmare majhab ke mutabik  nikaah pdha jayega ..  " she raised her head in my direction and quietly removed one of her thumb rings which was made up of plain  platinum and belonged to the previous king i guess . She took my rough  hand in her small ones  and slipped the ring in my ring finger ,i was a bit confused with her behaviour and moreover i was surprised as the ring fitted perfectly in my finger ,her eyes met mine and she spoke in a low voice "Hum nhi jante aap humse vivah krke kya haseel krna chahte hein prntu hmare liye ye rsme aur vivah koi khel nhi hai ,rishte hmare liye bohot mayne rkhte hein Sultan ..humme kisise koi umeed rkhna psnd nhi  hai aur aap toh phir bhi hmare sbse bse satru hein prntu aab Jab apka aur hmara vivah hone ja rha hai toh hum apse asha krte ki aap hmare beech jo bhi rishta hai uski laaz rkhenge..hmari trf se bhi
aapko  sagai ki shubhkamnaye"  her words made me feel something i had never felt before ,she was different from the stories i heard ,she was fearless and brave, she was  an innocent and pure little princess layered by a strong headed Queen . I nodded " Bohot khoob ,aab aap chahein toh apne Mahal laut skti hai aur agr " i stopped for a moment as she gave me a " Now what " look ,i walked closer  and bent myself a little  to match her level ,well she reached my chest barely with her small height and i couldn't stop myself from imagining something very dirty to her "Aur agr aap nhi jana chahti toh raat ka manjar behad haseen hai "

MAYA'S POV ~
His husky voice did something to me, i could feel butterflies in my lower abdomen ,my eyes widened at his  words and i pushed him a little, hiding my flushed cheeks  " Aap  bohot beshram hein Sultan " and he laughed aloud as if this was the funniest joke he had heard.I was completely frustrated with his weird behaviour, first he tried to insult me and my family then he asked me to marry him or should I say he manipulated me in the worst way and now he's making me feel some weird emotions i had never know existed "Sultan .. Shehzaade Qadir is asking for permission to meet you " he nodded and said " Hmm ..ask him to come and begum follow me "  he leaded me to my palquine " Jld mulakaat hogi Begum Shahiba "  , my breath hitched for a moment when he kissed my hand slowly
" Dhyan rkhiyega, Shba khair "  i nodded and sat in my palquine.
