Chapter 3 Reasons or Excuses

"Amayra, it's so good to finally meet you. I wanted to meet you for a long time. But I had to wait to see if you are the one I wanted or not." She said while caressing my hairs and cheeks.

Her voice was low and very soft but full of domination. Who was this woman and why she wanted to meet me? Above of all what was she wanted from me? My mind was full of questions.

I took some deep breaths to calm my nerves. When my mind was calmer I asked "who are you and why I am here?"

"Well Amayra, My name is Malvika Chauhan." She started to introduce herself. "I am the sovereign of this Chandela Village of Rajasthan. And you are sitting beside me in my territory." She stated.

After hearing her last sentence I was in utter shock. Rajasthan, the place was far away from my hometown. "But I was in bus going to my home. How can I be here? Who are you people?" I started to be scared a little.

She grabbed my hand "you don't need to be scared from us. We... "

She was in middle of her sentence when I cut her what am I doing here? Where is my family?" I said in panic.

She tightened her grip around my wrist. She was looking at me furiously. "Don't say anything until I finished." She said angrily. My wrist started to ache so I tried to free my hand but failed. Her expressions remain same.

After some seconds she put on her calm mask again and lightened her grip and said "I want you to marry Yug Prajapati."

"What" I nearly screamed and jolted away my hand to free myself from her grip. "Who the hell are you to tell me that you wanted me to marry someone of your choice? In what world I would do this?" I stood up and continue "are you out of your fucking mind?" I hardly cursed but whenever I feel that the situation is out of my control I instantly switched to normal girl to ragging bitch.

And right now it was about my life. Some strangers were taking important decision of my life.

She stood before me and grabbed my left forearm tightly. It was too tight to leave marks on the spot. "Don't try to insult me, young lady" she stated. "This is the decision I have made for you. You will marry Yug prajapatI else all person, you have ever cared, will die. Either it's you or your family, friends or colleagues."

I froze at the spot when she threatened my family. I couldn't bare the pain to lose them not even in my nightmares.

"Why do you want me to marry him? What will you get? I don't have any wealth. I am just a common girl from a small town." I asked her as tears were shimmering in my eyes.

She freed my forearm and crossed her arms. "Because you are from the family who not only have perfect cultural values but also have intelligent genes. Your mother is professor in psychology. Your father, he is on topmost position in bank. He has a great knowledge of finance and you..." she pointed a finger at me. "You are master in numbers."

"How do you know all this? Were you stalking at me and my family?" I asked shockingly.

After soothing myself I said," you can get number of girls who can have above qualities. In fact they will willingly agree to marry Yug Prajapati, then why me?"

She looked at me like I was a precious gem in her eyes and I didn't know my worth. She placed her hand on my cheeks and said," that's not attracted us towards you."

Then she paused and sighed," Well you are manglik and Yug has to marry a manglik girl and above of all you are untouched."

"WHAT" I was more shocked than before. "How do you know this? These kinds of things are personal and how can you find out this."

"You are engaged" she stated instead of answering me and quirked her one eyebrow.

"You know I am engaged and you still want me to marry other person? Why?" I asked in confusion. This conversation was getting more and more confused. But I had to remain sane. I couldn't afford to lose my temper. So I tried to provoke her.

"Well, if you know that I am engaged and I have fiancée then maybe we have done something. You know the 'intimacy' as we have been alone for plenty of times." I pressurized the word intimacy so that she can hear it loud and clear.

Her facial expressions changed and she frowned. I continued, "It can be possible that I am not virgin." I finished my sentence with satisfied grin on my face.

By look at her face I knew that I was finally going somewhere and now I can employ her.
