UNEDITED

As our chariot passed through the main city all eyes were on us, But the looks of the  spectators' held no admire for me but surprise and confusion which was natural yet it made me feel embarrassed.

Kirti was already up and was questioning his father about everything and everyone and Arjun was patiently replying to his questions.

I looked at my baby girl whose tiny hands were around my neck and head on my chest

"Hey... " I whispered into her ear, she hugged me more tightly, and my heart melted as I placed a kiss on her temple.

"Pragati, wake up baby.. " I shook her a bit and she murmured something like 'Kirti did it' and fall back to sleep 

"See! Even in her sleep she is lying about me! " Kirti pointed his finger at her accusingly and huffed. Arjun laughed gaining a glare from me.

"Kirti, not now okay?" I said sternly enough for him to understand I was pretty serious.

"Pragati! Wake up or we'll left you here " I said and her eyes shot open.

"No! " She exclaimed and Kirti giggled and they started their usual banter.

I glanced at Arjun who was looking at the kids with a smile,

How much I've missed this smile? Four years... Four years without him... I didn't even know if anything went wrong whether I'd be able to live without him or not.

I needed him more than anything, he was like a drop of water in desert to me. I blinked the tears away from my eyes before they could fall

My eyes were admiring his beautiful face and I couldn't stop them.

How could any man look that gorgeous with thick eyelashes?

"We're with kids, you can admire me as much as you want in our room, I'm all yours" His whisper brought me back to reality and I realised he was much closer to me than he should be

Ignoring the growing blush I replied boldly "Don't get your hope high Prince, I was just thinking about.... About something, I was unmindful" I tried to defended myself, lame I knew

He laughed out loud making my embarrassment reach another level. I didn't like it when he made fun of me.

Why did I had to lose myself in him like that?

"It's okay Krishnaa, I know I'm irresistible" His lips held a proud smirk. Although I wanted reply something I didn't instead I tried to ask the  question that was stuck in my throat like a thorn I finally decided to let it out

"Did you.... " I didn't know why I was hesitating so much, probably because I was afraid of the answer.

Taking a deep breath I asked "Do you have any wife? or wives, in that case." I kept my voice low, I was already ashamed for asking such question in front of two infants who were apparently our childs.

Instead of replying he gave me an amused smile.

"Why? "

I don't know, may be because I'm your wife and have every right to know.

"Do you? " I repeated now keeping my voice firmer than before

"No, of course not" A wave of satisfaction washed over me as I released a breath of relief and heard him continue

"Did you really think I could  marry even after my pregnant wife suddenly  vanish into thin air and I had no clue where she and my kids were? " He asked steadily and calmly
