Maya : Ek deewangi

8. Is Maya falling for sultan ??

UNKNOWN POV ~
She rushed towards her chamber and  stood next to the mirror , her hands moved towards her forehead  lightly touching the invisible imprints of his lips and her lips curved into a small smile as she  could still feel  his warmth there , she slowly traced her hands to the side of her neck blushing while eyeing the spot where he had kissed her ,she had no idea about the feelings his touch made her feel ,her eyes moved  from her neck to her  waistband  as she shivered remembering his rough fingers almost creasing her lower abdomen while tucking her duppata. Her eyes widened at her own thoughts , she turned away from the mirror clutching her duppata in a  fist
"Maya ye aap kya kr rhi hein ...shant ho jaiye.. " she talked to herself as she could feel changes in her body ,she actually felt the urge to go back to his embrace ,she felt the urge to be touched by his rough fingers but her innocent mind had no idea about her new feelings .She removed her duppata and untied her long braid as she wanted to take a bathe .

MAYA'S POV ~

I walked inside the bathroom and to my surprise there were the maids and royal beautician's setting the pool with bath oil's ,herbs and jasmine  petals " Pranam Rani Shaheb , mahaguru Chaitnya apne shishyon veh Guru Ma Shakuni ke sath vivah hetu pdhar chuke hein aur guru ma ka adesh hai ki vivah se purav apko shahi snan krwaya jaye "  one of the head maid informed me , i inhaled a long breathe when one of the maids asked me to change into the cotton cloth .I felt a little uncomfortable entering the bathe pool in a cotton clothe because i had  never allowed the maids or the beautician's in helping me with my bathing but as of now it was a must ritual to be followed. " Aap bohot khoobsurat hein Rani Shaheb bilkul pariyon ki kahaniyon jaise ..." one of them muttered while applying sandalwood and turmeric paste on my shoulders i turned around shocked by her words ,she seems to be young and maybe she's newly appointed " Suno tumhara nam kya hai ?"  I asked , her face almost fell out of fear " kya humse koi bhool hogyi hai Rani Shahiba ..humme maaf krdijige hu..hum " i asked her to calm down as i could sense something was very fishy here " Shant hojao ..tumse koi  bhool nhi hui hai ...humne toh bss tumhara nam pucha hai ..isme ghbhrane jaisa kuch nhi hai " she looked at me with her innocent frightened eyes and i nodded " Humara nam ...Humara nam Razia hai aur hum Dularab se siphahiyo ki khidmat ke liye aaye thee magar apke bhaijaan ne humme jabardasti kaid kr dia..kal raat Shehzaade Abhimanyu ne humme aur hmare sath aayi baki ladkiyon ko unke hozre se rhia kr dia magar abb hmare siphahiyo ne humme apnane se mna kr dia hai .. " ...i couldn't believe her words for a second she was just a child how could my Bhai Shaheb ..but for the next moment something clicked in my mind it ...it was Sultan's words "peeth peeche waar krne wala bhediya  "
  that means bhai Shaheb had actually tried to attack him behind his back .I came out of my thoughts as i heard  Razia crying " Shant hojaiye Razia ..aaj se aap hmare sath rhengi aur vivah ke paschat aap hmari dasi bnkar apne desh wapis bhi jayengi " i assured her and asked her to have food . I was relieved by the fact that after me Abhimanyu would take care of Magadha like a true and responsible king . The bathe continued for a pretty long time as the beautician's washed my long hair with different herbs , applied different bath oil's and paste's on my body as instructed by Guru Ma  who was also my maternal grandmother as she belonged to my Ma Shaheb's country . After a refreshing bathe i changed into a pair of cotton lengha and the maids left my chamber after drying my hair with koal and dhoop, royal bathe wasn't that bad i thought to myself .I touched my cheek and muttered to myself " Sultan Amir Qasim Ali Khan ki hone wali Begum  " and my lips curved into a smile , a chance ...i wanted to give him a chance , i wanted to know all those secrets he knew about me  ,i wanted to know the depth of his love , i wanted him to hide me from the world  in his embrace  , i wanted him to share my pain ...i wanted him to share his pain ...i wanted My Sultan ..my husband. I came out of my thoughts as one of the guards announced Guru Ma's presence
" Pranam Rani Shaheb " she spoke in strict yet a calm voice "Prnam Guru Ma ..apka swagat hai " she sat on the couch near my bed and ordered one of her helpers to bring in those huge plates covered with yellow clothe which belonged  to Mainakagarh my Ma Shaheb's country " Ye aapke Mama Shaheb ne bhijwaya hai Rani Shaheb, we swayam nhi aa ske kyunki unhe pschatap hai ki veh apki yudh ke samay koi madad nhi kr ske " i nodded quietly because i knew the truth ,Mama Shaheb never visited Magadha after my Ma Shaheb's death it was always Chandrika his daughter or his letters " Unhe ..hmara pranam dijiyega Guru Ma ..aur Chandrika wo"

UNKNOWN POV ~

Maya couldn't complete her sentence as she was  interrupted by a girly  voice "Hmari sakhi ka vivah ho aur hum na aaye yeh toh ashamvhav hai "  Chandrika almost rushed towards Maya,she pulled her into a tight long hug " Samay jarur badal gya hai prntu hmari Chandrika aaj bhi utni hi buddhu hai " Maya teased her as they broke the hug "aap bhi nhi bdli hein Maya ..aap aaj bhi humme buddhu bula rhi hein jaise balak pan me bulaya krti thi .." Chandrika said twitching her nose at Maya ." Agar aap dono sakhiyon ka Bharat milap ho gya hai toh Rani Shaheb aab aap vishram kijiye kal haldi aur mehendi ki rsm hai aap thak gyi hongi aur Rajkumari Chandrika aap hmare sath chlkar haldi ki tyarian krwaye " Guru Ma said , Chandrika hugged Maya for one last time and muttered something in her ear ,which made Maya blush
" Subh raatri guru ma..aur aap  apna ye dimakh kam me lagaiye Raajkumari Chandrika  " Maya  said while hiting Chandrika's  head.
