Zydus was only close to two people after his parents death. His grandpa and grand aunt.
So seeing that Lalith was getting along well with Grandpa , he was genuinely happy.
"You are done too. let's go to eat then." Grandpa lambert said, at which Zydus nodded.
After dinner Zydus took Lalith away saying, she was tired and need rest. Nobody can anything to him, so they all see them of to the car. Looking at car going outside of the palace ;
"A new change occurred brother. I think we should start the preparation." Suya said looking at the despairing car.
"I need to observe her more. Although I can say that she is a sincere girl, but I can not take risk."
"I'm agree with aunt, father. I have seen kindness and innocence in her and you too have seen." Leon's opinion sounded from the side.
" hmmmm, let's see for some time." Grandpa said firmly; " and you… you are still here? Look even your nephew found his partner. What about you?Still single." Grandpa suddenly realised where the voice came from.
"Go meet the girl I have selected, this weekend."
" Yes father." Leon said looking down at his feet.
Grandpa sighed at his uninteresting reply. He was very worried about his this son, who was still without any partner even at the age of forty.
...…..
The car which was now outside the palace's property, after about half an hour crossed a sign. Lalith sighed at the sight of same sign board of Margan State, she had seen before.
"Relaxed?" Zydus looked at her sighing.
"No, no. I was just yawning." She lied through her teeth.
"Ok." Zydus chuckled.
Lalith was embarrassed at her white lie, then suddenly remembered her conversation with Grandpa Lambert. Staring at the intervened fingers, she looked at Zydus.
"You can rest for some time, civil affairs bureau is quite far from here." Zydus dropped at bomb.
"What… why we are going there?" Shocked Lalith asked abruptly.
"You forgot about the marriage certificate, I told you this morning." He replied looking deeply into her eyes.
"He he how can I…. I was just thinking that…. That time , yes the time is over. It's seven and they closed at six. And ….. and my documents are not with me, so it's ….it's quite not possible for us to get married now."
Startled Lalith thought all the excuses she could provide at the moment to avoid the marriage. Thinking that she had told the facts and Zydus can't do anything, she sighed but in relief.
"Your certificate are in the car already." He replied casually "And I am a prince, is there anything that I want and couldn't get.?"
"My….my documents! Ho… how?" Lalith who was now panicking stuttered.
At this question Zydus looked at the mirror at driver's side.
"When you were in palace, Sir asked me to get it from your apartment."the secretary, who was driving and silent till now replied,as if he was talking about entering his apartment.
She wanted to argue that how can he enter at a girls place without permission but lost her will, as she saw the building of civil affairs bureau from the window. Moreover It was Zydus's order , so how can his secretary deny.
The car stopped at the door stairs of the building and a row of people can be seen from the door to the stairs.
"Let's go." Zydus got out first before going to her side to open the car door, extending his palm for her.
Lalith who was still confused and processing all of the happenings, took his palm in a daze. A middle aged man and two women behind her was welcomed them and took them inside.
The row of people bowed when Zydus walked past them. Seeing this Lalith, who was already in daze felt surreal.
After half an hour Lalith was looking at the marriage certificate in her hands, and questioning herself if this is dream or she already got married.
Yesterday she was in heaven fighting for her life and now in just twenty four hour, she got married. She had a husband. Wait husband?
She had to live with a man, she just got to know and the intimacy.
Although they did everything yesterday but she was drugged and didn't remember anything . But she couldn't even kiss him now that a effect of drug is gone.
"Mrs Morgan, Mrs Queen or wife? What would you prefer?" When Lalith was busy in her thoughts and forgot about the person sitting beside him, didn't realised that the person was displeased at her wandering thoughts.
"I think Lalith... Lalith is good." She replied feeling a bit awkward at the sudden question.
"Hmmmmm" a stern and cold voice sounded above her head then the certificate got carried away from her fingers.
Seeing that Zydus put both certificates in his coat pocket, she didn't know what to say. He was very serious when doing this, that made her thought of her carelessness.
"The things you need are all ready in our villa. So we can start living together, from... TODAY." Another bomb sounded above Lalith's head.
