*****************

Standing near window side, with her
gaze reaching out to the darkened lawn, Sadhiya heaved a big sigh .
Bangles tinkled on her wrist. Silent moon laughed on the tragedy of
her situation. She was married! Married…seriously? She felt like
laughing on her situation. Well, what did she expected? Elder
princess Sadhiya of Sehar! The girl who never said no to anything!
Who always acted as a guide to her younger sister Shara and Noor.
The girl looked upon as an ideal daughter by every state’s monarch
was married to Sheikh Reyhan of Buktsar! It always came to this,
Sadhiya thought, as she stared down at her hands. Her habit of
saying No, to no one had landed her in this situation. She was
married against her wishes. She closed her eyes and lo, the image
of her best friend Asif surfaced in her mind. His shining eyes,
curly hair, laughing face! Had she got the courage to speak out her
mind, King would never ever get her married to someone without her
consent! There lies the problem isn’t it? She never raised a
question to her father’s order. For her, it was the final words
from the almighty’s mouth himself! But the worst case was yet to
come. When she had delivered the news to Asif, he had whooped in
joy, hugged her and had expressed his approval. “Aren’t you sad?”
she asked him and he gave her a confused glance, “Why will I,
Sadie?” making it clear that he never had any interest in her. She
was always his best friend, nothing else apart from that. But…she
was so sure of him, thought rolled in her mind. Reyhan, her
husband…at first, when his photo was given to her, all she had
looked was his eyes! Cold steel grey eyes! Broad shoulders, spikes
of hair touching the earlobes! The aura which spoke volumes of
power itself! Undoubtedly, if Asif had been placed next to him then
he appeared boy and not a man! Shiver went down her spine and she
pulled herself together. She was married now, that what matter’s
the most. Asif was her past and should be buried deep somewhere in
her conscious. Surprisingly to her, it proved to be really easy as
soon as the preparations began. It looked so natural for her.
Everything…sighing, she took a gulp of water from the nearby kept
glass. Henna patterns in her hand were designed so intricate that
design looked like her second skin.

It was her wedding night; she conceded
and looked towards clock which had struck twelve at midnight. Where
was Reyhan? She thought and looked around the large spacey room
which had a wall covered with his sole portrait. Finally, she was
going to lose her virginity to her husband! She will know what all
the fuss is about! She should feel shy as she was an innocent in
that area but, for some unspoken reason, she didn’t. A part of her
was coy but another was curious. Her friends made fun of her when
she told them about her status. They said that there is something
wrong with her hormones or worst, something wrong with her! At that
time, she had merely laughed but had seriously considered the
options after the meeting got over. She was helpless, she thought,
royal princesses are not allowed to hook up with any Tom, Dick or
Harry! They are to pray a lot, eat a lot (for their imaginary
future children or heir, which they will give to the groom’s family
and bring honour to their own) and respect the guidelines which are
meant for their own security. Sadhiya, being the elder, was forced
to succumb under her dad’s order. She never wanted to spoil her
image in front of him! She wanted to show him what a dutiful, loyal
and intelligent human his elder daughter was! She wanted to set a
good example for her younger sister’s. Shara, the middle one, was
adopted by the royal family. She was more of a boy then a girl.
Noor, the younger one, was blind by birth and on top of that, an
illegitimate too. Poor Noor, she thought, to live in royal circle
like that!

Dwelling in these thoughts, she went to
sleep.

*********


Good Morning, my lady” soft
voice crooned Sadhiya out of her sleeping state. For a moment, she
forgot where she was. As the memory freshened up, with a jolt she
sat up on her bed. Her bangles tinkled and immediately, she
recalled. It was her wedding night yesterday, wasn’t it? Then why
was she dressed till now… “Your morning coffee, my grace” “Wait!”
she said, “Where is Reyhan?” “His highness is having breakfast on
the balcony; would you like to take your Coffee there,
Sheikha?”


No,” she said and sipped
her brew. What would she say to him? What sort of a person leaves
his wife on the first night like that? Maybe, some work was to be
done urgently…Work! Really! It could have had waited, wouldn’t it?
Or else, he could just have come, told her about it and went back
to it? What sort of a person was he? Sadhiya’s perplexed thoughts
were making her more fussy and irritated. Didn’t she already have
too many things on her mind? Leaving the coffee, collecting her
gown from the nearby chair, she headed towards the direction of the
bathroom. Reyhan had to give some answers and soon.

**************

His gaze was on the frontline of the
morning newspaper but his mind was elsewhere! Reyhan-al-bin-Hukum,
ruling king of Buktsar, was married to Princess Sadhiya of Sehar!
At that thought, he lifted his gaze off and stared towards the
horizon. Things were changing; he could sense it in the air, who
knows whether for good or bad! Ameera, his guardian, had forced him
to take this step for the welfare of his kingdom and his people; he
had no intentions to get married in the first place. Why? What for?
To disgrace himself? To let the world know of their ruler’s one
hideous secret? A secret so dark, if revealed, it had the power to
shake their belief in him? He was a failure inside and one more
mistake he had committed was destroying somebody else’s life by
getting married!

Sadhiya, his mind went to the day when
Ameera had shown her photo to him. What had he been thinking? He
wasn’t thinking. He was going along with everyone’s wishes and no
one ever asked him if he wants to take that step or not. He had
deliberately not slept yester night with his new bride. In future,
so many questions would have been raised if he had done that thing.
The problem was, he was already suffering in his own misery, he
didn’t want someone like Sadhiya to suffer along with him! Second
problem, Sadhiya was a walking temptation in her own self. All
those long hair locks, innocent smile, sensuous mouth, firm
breast…! Reyhan clamped down his thoughts there and then. It was
bad he was going to dump the bitter reality on her today. She was
made for a man’s pleasure. He wanted to do all those things to her.
Kiss that lovely mouth…wrap his finger’s around those beautiful
tendrils…cup that enticing ass of her as he take her…Reyhan felt
his manhood throbbing in his pants and immediately pulled himself
higher so that anyone might not take notice of it. God, even her
photo never had this effect on him as her real-self did. During the
ceremony, when he had kissed her, he had never expected the
chemistry to spark so violently between both of them. She will be
heart-broken and the thought made him guilty. He didn’t feel right
about it. Someday, he will have to tell her the truth in all its
brutality but, till that time, it would be safe if she gets used to
this sort of treatment. If she agrees to the certain arrangements,
which he had in mind, then for sure he had chosen the right bride
for himself. He can tell her all about it when she will turn up for
the breakfast. Right on cue, as he lifted his face and stared
ahead, he saw her.

*********


Good morning, your
highness” Sadhiya muttered and Reyhan greeted her back. What was he
thinking? She thought as she took her place. Shouldn’t he explain
his reason for being absent yester night? Clearly, he didn’t felt
the need to do it. “How was your night?” he cleared his throat and
poured out the hot beverage for her. As if he didn’t knew!
Resisting the urge to roll her eyes, she looked at him and said,
“Fine,” Nodding he resumed his own meal. That’s it! She grimaced.
Won’t he say anything?


Sadhiya,” “Reyhan,” both of
them spoke together. Going red to her cheeks, gulping down a
morsel, she said, “Why don’t you say it first?” “No, please, you go
ahead…” “You weren’t there yester night, lordship” she blurt it
out. So much for setting up the stage! Just blurt it out, will you?
“I was about to explain myself about that,” he said as he sipped
his own. Curiously she looked up, “ Go ahead,” “Sadhiya, you are
the queen of Buktsar now. You have been chosen by the elders for a
reason. The qualities needed in a wife for me were visible in you
and as people have advised us that you are the most loyal wife a
person can ever get.” “Thank you for your words, Sire” I smiled a
little but, then again, come to point! “Sadhiya,” he left his meal
and turned his back to her, so as to hide his inner turmoil, “You
are an intelligent person and I hope, the thing which I am going to
tell you right now, will make some sense.” “Please,” she said and
got up from her own seat and went near him, “I will try to
understand. Was there some work?” “it’s not that,” he said and then
sighed, “ Sadhiya, though we are married and it is my sole
responsibility to cater to your every need but, know this, that
though we will always share one bed but,” he paused and cleared his
throat, “ Our marriage shall never be consummated by either of
us”

*********************

Words left her mouth. Her entire being
froze and she went cold, as if, she felt nothing. His words made no
sense. “What! I didn’t get you, I am sorry” “I mean,” he turned and
stared in her eyes, “We will never have any physical relationship
between us…” “You mean, we will never have sex!” she repeated him
in much crude way. He had an amusing but sad expression in his
eyes. Her outspokenness was something he was surprised at. “Yes,”
Nothing came next. All Reyhan remembered was Sadhiya’s unshed tears
and hurtful expression as she asked him one earth shattering
question, “Why?” “I can’t answer this one,” he said and didn’t
deter from his path when she kept on pestering him about it. “But I
have the right to know why, Reyhan?” she shook him by shoulder
forgetting that he was royalty. For her, he was just a man at the
moment. A man, who was her husband and who owe her some answers! “I
am sorry,” he repeated. Pecking slightly on her forehead, he left
her to dwell in her own misery.

********************


Hi Sadie,” Shara’s voice
exploded on the receiving end and a small smile crept on Sadhiya’s
tearful face. She had cried an entire day and was exhausted now.
This is how things go when you are too subservient to your parent’s
wishes and desires, her heart cried in agony but her mind had
totally another set of theories. Maybe, there is a reason behind
all of this. Maybe, he is trying to test you. Whatever, she
thought, she was in no mood to have a talk with anyone but when
Shara called, she had no other option but to talk to her. She could
not tell her family anything about this sort. First day of her
married life and she has already started with complaints! This is
how they will perceive it. No, she has to handle the entire
situation on her own. “Hi Shara, how are things going?” “Fine. How
is Noor, mom and dad?” “They are healthy as a horse. I don’t
believe that you have got married, sis. I am so happy for you. We
were so use to your being around and all that, it seems, as if,
half the castle has gone silent with your going” Sadhiya controlled
her tongue because she had felt the same thing. She had a nagging
doubt that in future, she will keep on feeling the same because
till then, her sister’s house will be full of laughing children
whereas her! She will remain virgin for her entire life. How sad
was this situation…After talking for another hour, she kept the
phone down, walked up to the window side and wiped her cheeks again
and again. This was her destiny now. She can’t say No! The greatest
dilemma, which was eating her right now, why? Why they can’t have
any normal relation like any other married couple? He said that he
can’t answer that one. Whom should she ask then? Did something
happened in his past? Something, about which, he didn’t want to
talk about? When will he tell her? Or, will he ever tell
her?
