The Tale Of Rajgarh

CHAPTER -15- A Promise

Yuvraaj:-why?

Siddharth interrupts,

Sid:-घर नही महल कहो

(Sid:-call it a palace not a house)

he ignores him and says,

Rajveer:-Because this is the king's wish

Yuvraaj:-Ohh ok

*At Rajgarh Palace

Rajveer's grandmother, King, Rajveer and Yuvraaj were talking while eating in the dining hall.

King:-तुम्हारी मैं जितनी तारीफ़ करूं अब तो उतनी ही कम लगती हैं

(King:-The more I praise you, the less it seems to me now.)

Then his grandmother Aaradhna says,

Grandmother:-I am thankful to you for saving my grandson's life.

Yuvraaj:-ऐसी कोई बात नहीं मेरी जगह कोई ओर होता तोह वोह भी यही करता

(Yuvraaj:-There is no such thing, if someone else had been in my place he would have done the same)

she smiles slightly and says,

Grandmother:-तुम बाते दिव्या जैसी करते हो

(Grandmother:-you talk like divya)

Hearing this, King and Rajveer looks at her

Yuvraaj:-who is this divya?

So Rajveer says avoiding the matter,

Rajveer:-Come on yuvraaj let me take you on a tour of the palace

Then both of them start touring the palace.

Just then a servant comes to call Rajveer and before leaving Rajveer says,

Rajveer:-You roam here, I will come in a little while.

Yuvraaj:-Wait tell me where the washroom is?

Rajveer turns and says,

Rajveer:-Go left from here to the last room.

Saying this he leaves.

Then he talks to himself,

Yuvraaj:-Whose left did he say, mine or his own?

Yuvraaj searches for washroom and reaches the last room.

When he goes inside that room, he sees a woman sitting near the window, facing away.

Yuvraaj:-माफ़ करना शायद मैं गलती से गलत कमरे में आ गया

(Yuvraaj:-sorry i guess i accidentally came to the wrong room)

That woman looks at Yuvraaj and seeing him, a different sparkle appears in her eyes.

She goes near him and puts her hand on his cheeks and says,

Woman:-तुम आखिर कार आ ही गए मै कितने वक्त से तुम्हारी राह देख रही थीं

(Woman:-You have finally arrived, I was waiting for you for so long.)

He hesitantly removes her hand from his cheeks and says,

Yuvraaj:-Ma'am, you may have misunderstood, I don't know you, I should leave from here.

Saying this, Yuvraaj is about to turn and leave when she stops him by holding his hand.

Woman:-please don't leave me again

Before Yuvraaj can say anything, Rajveer comes into the room with a nurse.

Rajveer:-इनका ध्यान रखो, मैं अभी आया

(Rajveer:-Take care of it, I'll be right back)

The nurse takes care of the pleading woman and Rajveer comes out with Yuvraaj.

Rajveer:-sorry you had to see all this

Yuvraaj:-Never mind, who was that woman anyway?

Rajveer becomes silent and then says softly,

Rajveer:-वो औरत मेरी मां हैं

( Rajveer:-that woman is my mother)

Yuvraaj is surprised to hear this and says,

Yuvraaj:-oh sorry if I sound bad but can I know why she was behaving like this?

Rajveer says with a sad face,

Rajveer:-She had an accident when I was about 1 year old, since then she has been like this, her mental condition is not good.

There is silence between them for a while and then he says,

Yuvraaj:-फिक्र मत करो मैं किसी को इस बारे मे नही बताऊंगा ये मैं वादा करता हूं

(Yuvraaj:-Don't worry, I won't tell anyone about this, I promise.)

Rajveer:-पक्का वादा

(Rajveer:- Promise)

He smiles slightly and says,

Yuvraaj:-हां पक्का वादा

(Yuvraaj:- Yes promise)
