Aishwarya ~ The Prince's Brown Bride

58 ~ Discovering A New Aishwarya

Ranvijay POV

We travelled more than half of the distance and were closer to the nearby market. 

Suddenly, the thought of visiting the market with Aishwarya crossed my mind and I turned to look back at the convoy.

"Let's rest here for a while,"

I said and the attendees and soldiers stopped.

I stepped down off the horse and looked at them looking back at me with the confused brows. 

"You all should get some water and rest. The weather is pleasant, isn't it?"

I said and they replied in unison.

"Ji, Prince,"

I smiled and walked towards the Aishwarya's palanquin.

"Aishwarya,"

I called and looked at her peeking through the crack of the curtain.

"Are we home? Isn't it early?"

She said with the confused and thinned brows and I shook my head.

"No, come out,"

I said and she looked at me for a few moments before stepping out of the palanquin. She settled the dupatta on her head correctly and looked at me with the slightly tensed face.

"What happened? Hukum, why did we stop here?"

She asked raking her head around for a moment.

I smiled looking at her beautiful, cute face and said.

"Let's go to market,"

Her eyes widened a little and she looked at me with slight shock?

"Market?"

She questioned and I nodded.

"Yes, Market, its close,"

I said and she turned around to look at the convoy settling slowly.

"But, what about them?"

She asked and I smiled.

"It's a pleasent weather, they will rest for a while,"

I said and she shook her head.

"What will everyone think if we will get late? They must be expecting us,"

She said in a slow voice and I held her hand.

"Calm your mind down, Aishwarya, lets just go,"

I said and pulled her closer.

I asked a small group of soldiers to come with us but stay afar for the safety.

We both started walking towards the market and I looked at her, looking back at me. With her expressions, I could guess that she was pretty much shocked and excited for it. It was a short walk and I felt her grip tightening on my hand as we reached closer to the busiest market of the Suryagarh. 

It was the biggest one too and famously known for its wide variety of almost everything and low prices. Sellers from all over the Hind used to move to have a stall in this market. And, this was almost hundreds of years old. 

"I have never been to the market before,"

She said and looked at me with the sparkling, bright eyes.

I smiled looking at her and replied.
