Royality

awkwardly confusing

I woke up the next day with a smile on my face , I didnt have the fear of what the next hour would bring for me because Harry who was basically responsible for causing havoc in my life now extending his friendly hand towards me ..this would be the first time ever in history when a wife is friendzoned by her own husband...I would not deny that I was hurt when he said that he didn't love me but it is what it is...nothing can be done about that ..at least he was being nice to me

I walked downstairs and towards the garden where I saw Harry practicing sword fighting ...I couldn't take my eyes of the sight that I was seeing , Harry all shirtless , sweat dripping of his body like little  raindrops and man he looked damn sexy ...I didn't realise how long I was staring at him when his voice grabbed my attention

Heyyy...!!! Good morning... , like what u see ?..., he said with a teasing smirk.

Uhmm....no - I - I was just- i said  looking away to hide my embarrassment ..

He laughed loudly making me cover my eyes in shyness .

I was looking at your sword fighting , your really good at it ...I said trying to change the topic

Ohh ....really thank u..do u know how to sword fight ? He asked coming closer to me

No...I tried to learn , but baba didnt allow , in our families girls are not allowed to do all these..I said with a baby pout ..

That's sad...u wanted to learn didn't you ?..he asked raising  his eyebrows

I nodded

Yeah ...I really wanted to learn it..I said smiling

Come on , I'll teach u ? He said extending his hands towards me

Now...ohh no , it's okay ..u don't have to ...I said

Shut up and come on..he said shaking his head ..and dragging me with him to the centre of the ground .

He turned me around so my back was to his front  and for the first time I didn't feel scared but rather I felt safe and comfortable under his embrace , i.never wanted to let go of him , it felt like if I'm with him nothing could go wrong..I closed my eyes and enjoyed this feeling

Focus princess.... , he said whispering in my ears with a naughty smirk making me roll my eyes

Okay so rule no. 1 never Void, block or choke your opponent’s attack and whatever you do, don’t get hit. If you get hit, you lose a point. He said and I nodded

And he kept going on and on about the rules of sword fighting along with some famous sword fighting moves ... And to say I loved it was understatement , It was like my dream come true , the dream then I nourished for years was finally coming true and never in my life a britisher would teach me the golden rules of swordfighting ....Harry was making my dream a reality ...he was indeed my prince charming ..though I know I will never love me ..

And with the passing days our friendship became more and more strong , we would talk on anything and everything without any hesitations and I don't know but I started loving him , I was raised in a family where it was taught that your husband is everything for you , maybe that was the reason I had a soft corner for Harry since the day I was married to him ...but as the days passed ,I started loving him more and more , I started to stop these absurd  feeling but I couldn't help it , I was falling more and more  everyday for him.

I was preparing dinner for Harry , he had become a Rajasthani food addict now , he wouldn't eat anything if it isn't something spicy Rajasthani dish  and  I had to learn something new everyday for my husband -kam- friend .

He told me that he would come by 4:oo pm and it was 12:30 , and still no sign of him..I tried to call his office no. But they said he left the office at 2:00 pm itself and that made me  really worried , he never was this late since we had good terms in our relation.

I was pacing around relentlessly in the verandah when I heard an ambulance being parked out of the house and 4-5 army officers getting out of it and finally assisting a stretcher out in which Harry was laying..my eyes widened at what I just saw and I ran downstairs towards them.

What ..what happened ? I asked panicked as I went near the them

Mam..relax , sir just got shot on his back ...he has fractured spine but other than that he is completely fine...one officer tried to calm me down but I wasn't ready to buy any of it.

I looked down at the stretcher I. Which Harry was laying with his eyes wide open and to see him conscious brought some life back into me

Harry .... I said  leaning down, I was on the verge of bursting into tears any moment

Hey....it's okay ...I'm fine ....his voice was hoarse and raspy

I held his hand in mine  throughout while they carried him to his room and carefully laid him there .

There is nothing to worry Mrs styles ..the doctor said he is out of danger ...just will need a few weeks to recover , so just take care of him and call us if you need anything...the army officer said and I simply nodded

As soon as the door was closed leaving Harry and me together in the room , I looked at him again , I didn't realise that I was still holding on his hand

Harry what happened... ? I whispered with a concerned face

It's nothing Nandini, I just got shot by a bullet on my way to home , we still couldn't find out he did that , but they will investigate ...he said slowly

If anything would have happened to you , what would I have done ...I said slowly before sobbing silently

Hey ..there princess , no more tears ...I'm fine ..look at me ...he said lifting my chin up

I know he said he is fine , but I knew he was far from that , he was in intense pain and  was trying to hide it  so that I don't get all hyped up ...

I wiped my tears and stood up slowly releasing his hands from mine

Where r u going ? He asked confused

I'm going to bring some soup , aren't u hungry ? I asked

And he nodded with a pout  making me smile at his cuteness

I kept all the Rajasthani dishes that I spent hours in making aside to prepare something more healthy for my husband .

I came back with a bowl of soup , as soon as I opened door to his room , there he was sleeping peacefully in his bed , looking like a beautiful angel....so pious

Harry...I called  quietly running a hand through his hairs

He slowly opened his eyes and as soon as he saw me his face turned into a cute smile

Come on...I said helping him to sit on the bed .

I don't have the energy to eat it...he said once he saw the big bowl of soup in my hand ..

I just looked at him with a sympathetic look.

I sat on the nearby stool beside his bed and brought the spoon full of soup near his mouth ..

It took him some time to respond as he was staring at me continuously for some time making me alot nervous , finally he sipped the soup from it and smiled at me...

Thank you....he whispered .

It's my pleasure...I said bringing another spoonful of soup near his mouth ..

And we both just sat there in silence not knowing what to say next ...was it seriously just friendship that I cared so much for him to feed him while he insulted me so bad once and was it just friendship that he was hiding his pain from me just so that I shouldn't stress out...this was really an awkwardly confusing moment for both of us I guess..
