Ranya : Love across Time

Aishwarya POV

I watched him through the window in the hallways of the roof as he ride his horse with his companions to leave. My heart was strangely feeling empty watching him leave. I wanted to stop him. Tell him to not leave ...to not leave me here alone between these strangers. But, i knew i should stop feeling like this. I shouldn't trust him so easily. I knew nothing about him or people here. I should focus on going back to my world.

I turn to leave but before i left i made eyecontact with him as he looked up. There was something in him, his eyes that just made me freeze and forget everything around me. I lower my and turned to leave to my chamber reminding myself the priorities of not going the path that'll only hurt me.

After that day, it was a complete chaos in the palace. Everyone was busy preparing for my marriage. And I didn't know what to do. It was my marriage..a dream i always dreamt of sharing with my family , my friends , a groom ...a life partner . But nothing was going my way.

I missed my parents. I wanted to share my feelings with them. Tell them ..kniw their thoughts on my maariage. My marriage was just three days away. Tommorow was my Haldi ceremony and I wasn't happy at all.

A marriage was supposed to be the biggest happiness of my life..but...

As always whenever i felt alone ..i went to the roof at night to ground myself a bit and feel comforted. But i stopped when i saw Abhimanyu sitting silently on the railing like structure with his legs hanging on the other side.

I contemplated if i should go to him and talk or just leave because i knew he didn't like me..i mean the princess.i turned to leave . But decided to just talk to him.

I walked behind him then spoke softly " can i sit here?" I asked tilting my head with a smile hoping he wouldn't say no.

He looked at me then knit his eyebrows showing his resistance with his expression then turned to look ahead " do whatever you want.. just don't bother me" he spoke in an irritated tone

I smiled feeling happy that he didn't tell me to go away ...i carefully sit just like he was sitting .. i peaked down...then closed my eyes taking a deep breath.. it was so high.. agr giri na! To ram nam Satya ho jana h ji!

I composed myself then looked at him then at the moon.. " it's pretty right?"

He didn't reply just looked up. I looked at him " Abhi..." I spoke softly

He spoke irritated " what!"

" I'm sorry..." I spoke with uttermost sincerity.. i know I'll leave soon and don't know if I'll come back alive or just leave to my world.but he was just like my little brother. I didn't want him to hold grudges and ruin his innocent heart.

He looked at me thinning his eyebrows almost shocked.

" I'm sorry Abhi .. for everything i have done wrong to you. I know saying sorry won't heal your wounds. I know i have hurt you enough for you to resent me forever. But, please be the bigger person and forgive me. I don't want you to hold grudges and hurt your innocent heart. Please forgive this foolish sister of yours"  
I lowered my head.. when he didn't say anything...

I sighed and started to turn to leave but ...he spoke up

" I forgive you"

I snap my head to look at him " what? You... You...forg-"

" Yeah ..i forgive you... I don't know why I'm saying this. What you did in past ..you have changed. I don't know if you are just pretending to be changed or you actually became better. But I'll give you a chance just like life gave you another chance. But don't think... You ca-"
