Part 19 Khushi's play

"I'm ready to marry you... What say?"

Khushi was shocked to hear that. Then, she bit her nail, blinking her eyes blushing.

"Marriage? Will you marry me? Really?" She asked with an unbelievable expression.

"Promise... I like you very much"

Khushi closed her face with her palms feeling shy. She slowly pulled her hands down and looked at Hemadri.

"Am I that lucky?" She again closed her face.

"Do you like me?"

"Who won't like you?"

"Are you really ready to marry me?"

She nodded yes biting her lip. Her facial expression changed all of a sudden.

"But, I put an allegation on you... What will the king say?" She said feeling nervous.

"It's not a big deal. Just tell him, Aparajith forced you to say so" he said observing her expression.

"Will the king trust me?"

"He will... I will make him trust you"

"But, what if they don't believe me?"

"I will handle them"

"But how? How could I marry you with a flaw?"

"You don't worry about it. I will erase the flaw"

"No, I don't think you can't do it"

"I will do it... Give me one day"

Khushi pouted.

"Don't you trust me?"

"How could I trust you? It's a big deal after all..."

"No, for me, it's a simple thing"

"I can't believe it"

"I will bring my head spy to the king and will make him say that you are not a spy"

"Really?"

"Yes, he is coming to the palace today. I will make him say so"

"Ok... if you don't do it, I will leave your kingdom forever"

"You won't leave our kingdom. You will be settling down here"

Khushi again blushed.

"I can't believe I'm going to marry the commander-in-chief of the kingdom," She said excitedly.

Though Hemadri doubted her slightly her next stance broke it into pieces.

"You should promise me" She demanded.

"What promise?"

"You should stop forcing girls after our marriage..."

"Why would think of other girls if I have a beautiful wife like you?"

Khushi again blushed and said,

"In fact, I never forced any girl... It's framed one"

"Really?"

"Yes, some people didn't like my growth. That's why they are putting allegations on me"

"Oh... ok, let's go"

"Where?"

"To declare our marriage to the king," she said, wiping his doubt completely.

"Not now..."
