(Nath ji's and yani ji's POV)

-------

The guards' footsteps thundered through the marble corridor.

She was running like in ostrich.

Face covered with white scarf.

Turbine on the head.

Only her beautiful dark brown eyes are visible.

And it's look like she is talking to someone? or herself? or who knows?

......or to her Mhadev‽

"Hye Shivjiiii, aaj bcha lijiye naaa...."

Lord Shiv ji - "What I will get in return?"

"Mere Shiv ji, aap karam kijiye phal ki chinta mat kijiye."

Lord Shiv ji - 🤨

"hehe, maf kar dijiye .... Hehehe, Ek balti bhang ki Chadhayenge hum aapko, pakka, waada rha, wo bhi apne hathon se ragad ke, par kripya aaj hame in gorillon se bcha lijiye naaa.....uhmm.." she asked lord Shiva while crying dramatically"

Lord Shiv ji - "✋🔆🌟"

She was running, while mumbling to herself.

And somehow in that corridor there was no guard....

Just then she turned to the right gallery and saw two guards standing side by side door of a room but.....

The guards were sleeping?

Hein???...

like seriously...

BOTH.

WERE.

SLEEPING.

WHILE.

STANDING...

she went near to them l, silently... Wave her hand in front of their faces.....

One guard yaan , and lean more with wall..

"Hmm...Okay. So these Gorillas are seriously sleeping"

She was just staring at their faces like crazy ....like thinking is this seriously Kingdom everyone feared of...¿

Just then she heard a guard's voice from somewhere behind ....

"Look properly, that person must be here somewhere!!"

Her heart raced.

Heart racing, she slipped through that archery and pressed herself behind heavy silk curtains just as their voices faded into the distance.

Silence.

A slow, victorious grin curved her lips.

She Peaked outside the curtains....

No-one...

Accepted those to sleeping guards....

"Is this seriously Kingdom everyone afraid of..¿ like these Gorillas are so idiots, this room is front of them and they are not looking here, their king, aka Sultan must also be like be like them..." she mumbling to herself, while peeking outside.

She exhaled deeply

"Hun! Whatever, I am so intelligent", she whispered to herself while giggling...

Hehehe... idiots.

Searching every hall, every balcony—except this one.

She exhaled dramatically, eyes closed, a quiet giggle escaping her.

I'm a genius. A stealthy, brilliant, completely safe genius.

Still leaning against the curtains, she savored the moment... then finally turned around.

Her smile died instantly.

In the center of a vast stone chamber lay a pool—huge, carved from ancient rock, steam rolling over its surface like breath. And inside it sat a MAN.

Shirtless.

Elbows stretched wide on the edge, head tilted back as if in command of the very air. He didn't move. He didn't need to.

"Woow, his back look so sexy and ho—

—STOP!!

"What the fuck .... I am even thinking ...aahhh.., i never ever thought like this about any man before, so why now..." she mentally slapped herself

"and why the hell this man is sitting like own the whole room , no ...like own the whole kingdom,no... Like he on the every person in this world... li...like.. Like he own ..Me‽"

"Aahhh... what the Hell I am even thinking again, how can I even think like that" She mentally scold herself for thinking like that..

Wait, what if he see me!.

no no no...

Run run run run—

No. Outside meant guards.

So she did the only possible thing.

She tiptoed—breath held, toes curling—behind the nearest pillar, like small penguin.

Okay. Okay. Calm. He didn't see me.

Probably meditating. Or sleeping with his eyes open.

Do demons sleep? Why does he have shoulders like that—STOP.

Her thoughts spiraled wildly.

Then—

A faint shift.

A ripple in the water.

Her pulse spiked.

She peeked around the pillar.

The pool was empty.

GONE.

The surface lay still, mist curling softly.

She go near to that pool..

Look here and there for him but there is no sign of him.

Did I imagine him?

Hallucination? Stress? Hunger? Or—

"Hal tabhathina 'anni ?" — in arabic

(Are you looking for me?) — in english

(Kya aap hame kooj rahin hain?) —in hindi

The voice came from right behind her.

Low. Rough. Close enough to vibrate through her bones.

She jerked back. Her foot slipped on wet stone.

For a fraction of a second, she saw him—blue eyes cutting through the steam, not angry... predatory.

Then she fell.

Her hand caught muscle instead.

And dragged him down with her..

And then...

.

.

.

.

.

.

Chaaapaakkk---

They both feel into water.

Water crashed over them.

The pool was deep. Too deep.

Maybe for her. Maybe not for him.

She sank instantly.

Her lungs burned. Panic ripped through her chest. Darkness pressed in as she thrashed—and through the blur, she saw him watching.

Not moving.

Not helping.

Just observing.

Then he turned away. To go.

Instinct took over.

She grabbed him—hard—clinging to his torso, still under water dragging herself up with him. She burst from the water coughing, gasping, shaking—and did not let go.

Just then, he felt a electric shock through his body like seriously physical electric current, like they were always mean to be like this?

Arms locked around his neck.

Legs around his waist.

Face buried in his chest.

Her body pressed tight against his.

Breathing harsh, broken, desperate.

And he?

He was completely still. Because, never ever in his life anyone touch him like that.

Not because anyone not try. But because, he never let anyone.

But here she is pressing to him, whole , like a baby monkey.

She was not in her senses is at that time, looking like a fragile, scared little kitten, like she is afraid of water?.... or maybe deep water?

He let her hold him.

Not touch her.

Just waiting, that she will herself pull away..

But nothing....

Now his patience is getting thin time by time.... But she is not moving a inch...

But still he waited.

Waiting.

Waiting.

Waiting....

.

.

.

.

His patience get Snapped.

He tried to push her away.

Once.

Twice.

Hard.

Nothing.

She didn't fall.

Didn't loosen.

Like a stubborn child clinging to the only solid thing in a storm....

Just then she said something or did something... UNEXPECTED.... which make him hold his breath....
