KASHIBAI'S POV

"Should I also bring a glass of plain milk without adding turmeric for you" I looked at my sasu aai who felt tired after the whole day.

"Naahi" (No)

The reply came.

Before I could have said something else, she started speaking.

"You know the talks about your first night have been done and the astrologer has given the consent for today" she asked me out.

I looked at her, with a shy smile and blushed cheeks.

"There's nothing to worry about Sun Bai (Daughter in law ) this phenomenon is very normal. Every wedded couple get their own private chambers and bed. There's nothing new that's going to happen to you. Apart from being a wife, a daughter in law you are also the future Peshwin Bai hence forth it's your duty to look after the future of the whole empire. Which means that apart from all the other responsibilities you have one more additional responsibility of giving the future peshwa to this kingdom" she said pressing her lips.

"I get that Aai saheb. And I also know that I am more than a wife and daughter in law. Everything that you have taught me since childhood has made me realise my responsibilities and I have always looked forward to working for it. I have made sure to never disappoint you in this matter and I will never do anything to make you feel bad" I smiled at her.

"Kashi you are just not my daughter in law or daughter you are much more than that. Someone whom I have looked for as the future of this empire. The day I decided to have you as my daughter in law I had made a vision that you are that shield which will be used in order to protect this empire. If I have raised Rao as a warrior then I have also raised you as the strongest pillar to hold him strong" And she patted my back.

"Aai Saheb I know all this and I respect every decision of yours" I hummed.

"Now go back in the chamber and get ready for tonight" She pressed my hands and smiled.

"Tai Saheb have you thought about it? I mean are you excited? Nervous any other reaction?" Rakhma was very curious.

"I have dreamt about it, you know even before I could have thought about it and knew how all this happens, how to summarise it all. The only thing I knew was that one day, this day will come. I am not saying that I craved for this day, the time when we will get our own private chamber. But I can't deny that I wanted time, the time which husband and wife share with my Rao. He was with me like a friend and confidante till now. But knowing you are married, certain things....make place in your life a way ahead." I looked at her who was busy listening to my blabbers.

"Out of the whole context the part which I got to understand was that you crave for his presence, maybe his touch, and of this day. But Tai saheb did you guys ever confess about this love? Did Rao ever say something to you regarding all this ever?" She looked at me with wide eyes.

"Rakhma the time when I married Rao I was just eight, and surely for an eight year old girl..the love existed only in the world where her mother and father belonged. I didn't have any idea about, what's going to happen next. And as much as I remember ours was a political alliance so he also never got time to think. Unlike you and Chimmaji saheb we didn't get much time together to spend. Out of all the time we got was some evenings when all the kids of the wada got collected, and we just used to look at each other. Somedays he would bring sweets for me like he did for everyone, someday he would make me swing in the verandah under the mango tree. And even during those little times we didn't have the courage to talk about any sort of confession or love." I replied.

"Rao saheb never confessed then!"

"He never did, but his eyes did. Rakhma eyes are the window to the soul. And it's not like he never confessed! We never got time....but his eyes, his care and affection had a major impact on my whole existence than those eight letters ' I LOVE YOU'. His random blushed cheeks while talking to me for even a few minutes, his never fading smile and his inability to not look deep in my eyes made me realise so much more than what he could have ever said. Rakhma we don't smile or be ourselves in front of people whom we don't like but he was just more than his own beautiful version in front of me every time we had an interaction" I replied and the blush on my cheeks darkening.

"The devotion, affection and unspoken love you guys share is something that I can't understand in this life...but seeing my Tai saheb happy itself gives me immense happiness. So whatever and however it is all I want is that you are happy"

Saying this she threw her hands around my shoulders and hugged me.

"Ohh how lucky I am to have found you Rakhuuu" I patted her cheeks.

Late at night

The moment I decided to push open my large bedroom door, I made sure I had made myself presentable enough. Afterall it was our first night...a night which has come after so many nights of waiting. I adjusted my pallu and pushed open the door.

Only to find our chambers lightened with sparkling diyas bright enough for us to see us and the room was dark enough for noone to feel or see us. Finally the day had come when we were going to be eachother's soul comfort. Surely neither I was small now nor him...We knew what was taught to us and what was going to happen today. This was our first official wedding night and from today onwards marks our journey as a complete married couple.

The moment I took few steps, Rao who was busy facing the wall turned to see me. Probably he made an idea that it was me from the jingles of my anklets.

"Kashi" he said and stood up. I noticed a little eyebrow flash.

Was he surprised to see me! In response I just nodded.

"You brought milk for me" He almost winked at me this time. Rao Swami was acting as if things were very normal and here I was dying of anxiety.

"It's a custom they said" I tried to speak keeping the glass on the small wooden stool.

"You look beautiful Kashi"

The moment the sentence escaped his lips.

"Haaye Deva"

And I turned around holding the ends of my pallu. I felt different, the surrounding felt different, he felt different everything was different.

Before I could have turned around, I found his hands pulling me towards his chest, while holding tightly onto my waist. It felt as if my whole body felt a stream of current running down.

His touch on my tiny waist got strong, and my body was covered with goosebumps. Wasn't this something I wished to have since so long. Before I could process what's going to happen next I felt his warm breath near my nape.

His jaw on my soft skin rubbing in a different sort of motion.

"You wore the perfume I gave you Kashi" he hissed near my ears.

"Y...ye..yess ....yessssss" I hissed too

And the very next moment he gave me quick kiss on my nape. His soft warm lips dancing on the corners made me loose all my sense.

I was thanking God that atleast I was not facing him, he was behind me. Or else the moment I would have locked my eyes with him, I would have died of embarrassment.

"Rao Swami......will you keep holding me like this or will you also drink the saffron milk I brought" I said meekly.

"No first you have to...."

"What...."

"Stop calling me Swami...just call me Rao" and saying this he gently removed my pallu, which went down running loose, while I covered my chest with both my hands as if I was not wearing the blouse.

I was not able to understand what was going on....when suddenly...

"Kashi say Rao" and with a little harshness in his voice he pushed me a little further and opened the threads of my backless blouse. Bringing in my whole back in his view.

"Rao will you not drink the milk I brought" I said turning around and facing him. My eyes were filled with happy tears, my cheeks were hot red and my body was shivering under the sweet tortures he planned.

"Bring the glass to me and take a sip" He ordered while he adjusted himself of the bed.

Instead of arguing or asking anything back I took hold of the glass, gently I took a sip and passed the glass towards him.

He without any hesitation took the glass from my hands and gulped down all the milk in a single breath.

"Come here Kashi" He said patting the bed.

It took me a lot of strength to walk such a little distance, I was nervous...his small acts of flirtations made me drool over his whole presence.

The moment I sat on the bed, I felt his hands working on my hair bun...he was busy taking out the golden pins from my hair.

"You women take a lot of time doing all this" He complained in the sweetest way possible.

"Let me help you doing this" I replied. While he was busy in my tresses I started removing my necklace and earrings to make him feel that there's less burden.

And together we placed my jewels aside.

While I sat there looking down and rubbing my hands, he got rid of his waist band and removed his tunic. And to my surprise I was seeing him like this for the very first time in my life, I gasped when I saw his lean muscular body. They worked so hard in the field....it might be the result of that.

"Kashi are you nervous?" He looked at me.

I didn't knew what to reply, Did I dissapoint him at some point. Did my actions made him think this way. The slightest tension that I caused some trouble to my Rao made my eyes well up with tears.

..

"Shhshhshshs"

"I didn't scold you Kashi, I was just trying to annoy you" He laughed it off and holding me through my shoulders, helped me to lay down on the bed.

I was in no mood to talk now. I wasn't a kid anymore...Rao should have not joked about all this.

"Kashi I don't have any idea how all this works for women"

And he gently came on top of me and brushed his lips on mine. For the first few seconds my body went rigid. I didn't knew what happened. I had never experienced the kiss on lips, it was different. The presence of his warm lips on mine, the thing I imagined came out live. My shying personality was stopping me or else I would have kissed him with more force and would have loved tasting his lips too. Because it was the kiss i was craving for since so long. The sweet sensations of his lips rubbing on mine was enough to sweep me off my feet. And I was trying to savour each moment while he caressed me.

For the next few minutes went by in unclasping me off from my garments. And the moment I felt I was lying wearing nothing infront of Rao, I covered my face with my palms.

"What's there to hide in your face when rest of the body is uncovered" He gave me a cocky grin.

"Rao....."

"Kashi stare at me as much as you can because I am the only man you are going to have your eyes on for always" he said.

"What about you Rao" I tried to speak this time.

"And while the time you are busy looking at me I want to devour every inch of you, Kashi" He smiled. I knew the sight of my ample bosom was having a different effect on his manhood.

"I hope you know what am I going to do next"

I hummed in response as he parted my legs and made his way over me and covered both of us under the thin bedsheet of our bed.

The next morning

The moment I opened my eyes, I knew that the sun has risen. Probably I was waking up late today. I stood up from the bed and started rearranging my clothes. Rao might have left early, he can't skip his gym routine for a single day.

The crumpled bedsheet and the broken bangles, the red spots from my sacrificed maiden head was an evidence of the whole incident that took place last night.

The moment I came infront of the mirror covering myself in the saree, I could see my messy tresses...smudged lipstick as well as the kajal. There was some soreness in between my legs. But I was not getting tired of looking at my current state. I felt messy and destroyed....and probably I was destroyed in his love. It was all different yet so beautiful, painful yet so pleasureable.

Finally I had become his wife, his touch was everything for me. I can't forget the magic he did to my skin

. And I was not able to wait for another such moment again.
