Chapter 1 : PRIDE
Khushi gasped, she could not believe she had heard him right. neither, it seemed ,could his people, for they too suddenly agitated and shocked even as she was.
Arnav turned away as though in disgust. he gestured to Shyam( his trusted Chief Lieutenant). "See to this, will you? she is my wife, I do not wish her hurt, yet must it be done. You understand?" " Of course ASR" Shyam said quickly. He looked properly somber but also determined as he approached Khushi.
So stunned was she that Khushi could not gather herself to protest. She spared a last look at Arnav but he was watching Shyam and did not meet her eyes. Her husband loyal lieutenant took her arm and led her from hall to outside in the fog towards Punishment Post. The sight of it filled Khushi with horror, bringing memories of terrible agonies endured at it.
She could hear the people who had followed them from the hall but the fog was so thick they appeared as no more than dark ghost against the blackness of the world.
Shyam took hold of rope hung from the post and asked for Khushi's hands she obeyed because she had no choice, though the spirit cried out in protest but she had PRIDE to engage in futile resistance. He looped the rope around her wrists and tide them snugly. She glanced up and found him gazing at her with fierce glee. In an instant, his expression masked but she was sure what she had seen, she stepped away from him quickly her back pressed against the post.
the fog was her friend now. Never mind if it was very cold and dank, it hid her from the eyes she was sure staring at her. The people had come to see Kings wife humbled but she would not be. She would keep her head high and endure no matter what.
The ASR---she refused to think of him in any other terms---had said she would remain at the post until she spoke honestly about her actions, but she had already done so and it had availed her nothing.
How long could a person be made to stay like this? without shelter, lacking privacy for the most basic needs, exposed to public humiliation, existence would quickly become hellish. A tremor of dread ran through her.
She wished for the reassurance of his arms around her, strong and sure. Support of his massive, shaped solid chest and shoulders. Want to see that square very masculine very manly face, lit by those melted gold brown eyes. Want to feel that warm golden skin burnished with sun on field. Golden brown hairs and those thin lips make her forget anything and everything in this world.
Tears stung her eyes. She wiped them away angrily. No she was not weak wont cry. She was determined to fight till her last breath for truth and PRIDE that was left to her.
