Chapter - 34
=================
Swadheenta.
" Shukriya ishe zeher ke liye, jise chune se he samne vale ki maut ho sakti hai, ab hum bhi dekhenge ki kal Yuvraj Maharaj kaise bante hai"
I gasped and the jug fell from my hands creating a loud sound of glass breaking.
My heartbeat turned faster as I access her words and a shiver of fear run through my body.
This means all attacks that happened the one behind them is her.
His mother.
" Caught you!" someone shouted and I look up startled at Maharani who is gripping my arm before I could do something she dragged me inside the room and closed the door.
I turned to her.
" Yo-u, you?" I stammered still not able to come out of shock.
" You're Princess, right? Then no one didn't tell you it's bad manners to eavesdrop" she steps closer to me and I step backwards.
" You, how can you do this?" He is your son" I look down and shook my head " nahi aisa nahi hota, puth kaputh ho sakta hai mata kumata nahi hoti"
" Apne bete ki jaan kaise le sakti ho, tumhara beta hai vo" I shouted looking at her.
" Who said he is my son?" She shouted and I was taken aback.
What!
He is not her son.
" Why? Why this much shock? I thought you already figured it out when you pulled out my portrait. What do you think no one saw you" she smirked.
" Ratnagarbha" I whispered.
" Yes, Ratnagarbha his mother, his biological mother and the surprising fact is that he himself doesn't know about this" she chuckled.
" He thought I'm his mother" she laughed turning around.
" If I'm his mother then you think any attack can touch him," she asked sitting on the couch, I feel anger at how she is behaving.
" I'll not let this happen I'll go and tell everyone about your truth" I spat angrily and walk towards the door.
Suddenly she grabbed my wrist and pulled me back making me fall on the couch and something sharp pressed against my neck. I open my eyes and look up finding her pressing the sharp dagger against my neck holding me down.
My heart is pounding so fast and my palms turned cold because of fear as she pressed the dagger painfully on my neck.
" Ohh what am I doing?" She said surprised and stop pressing the dagger.
" Why I'm hurting you? When you're so beneficial to me" she moved the dagger from neck to chin and move my face upwards.
" Tumhe koi andaza nahi hai tum hamare liye kitni kimti ho aree humare bete ki sabse badi galti ho tum or humare liye sabse bada mauka" she pulled away from me and sat on the couch in front of me, I also pull my legs up and sit to the corner of the couch.
" Let me tell you a story," she said smiling and I feel horrified seeing her.
I just wanted to run and hug Rehan right now.
" Ratnagarbha was my half-sister, I was always jealous of her because she is so beautiful whoever saw her praised her and I live in her shadow, she is so good at everything dancing, singing, cooking everything and people always compared me to her but she lacks one thing"
" You know what" she leans ahead towards me.
" A cunning brain" she whispered and sit back" she is too innocent, so damn innocent that sometimes I feel pity for her"
" We came to Maharaj Veer's Yuvraj ceremony and I saw Maharaj there and fell for him instantly, I went to my mother telling her about this, but you know what I came to know?" Her tone shifted to fury and I gulped fisting the blue cloth of my nightgown.
" Rajmata liked Ratnagarbha, why wouldn't she be everyone loves her and asked for her hand for marriage and there marriage happened"
She was the king's first wife.
" Then?" I asked slowly.
" Fir samye ka chakra ghuma or jo hum chahte the vo hume mil gaya"
How?
" Par kaise?" She asked, I nodded.
" Why would I tell you? And it will end all suspense why don't you find out yourself" she chuckled.
" Why do you want to kill him?"
" I don't want to kill him after all he is the son of my half sister"
" Then why are you doing this?" I asked desperately.
" Reasons," she said calmly and I get up from the couch angrily.
" To hell with your reasons, I won't let your any plan successful. I'll go and tell everyone about this " I turned to leave when I heard her laughing. I turned and look at her frowning.
" You'll go and tell everyone the truth?" She asked chuckling.
" Yes," I said determinedly.
" Go" I furrow my eyebrows.
" Yeah go, what are you waiting for?" She asked standing in front of me " but who will believe you, Yuvraj? Maharaj? Rajmata?" She takes a step closer to me.
" You know if I go and tell everyone that Rajkumari tried to kill Yuvraj everyone will believe me but if you said I'm behind all this no one will ever believe you," she said.
" But I'll not let you be successful"
" Ohhh you think I'm the only one behind his life, how naive you are!" she chukled and walk past me.
How many people are behind him? But I can't even tell anyone, she is right. No one will believe me without proof.
I come upstairs and look around the hall.
Palace, Palace, Palace
From childhood, I want to live in a Palace want to be a Princess but right now standing in the middle of the Palace it feels like the Palace is suffocating me. I just wanted to run far away from this.
My dream is turning into a nightmare.
Room
I open the door and close it behind me softly. I walk towards the bed and sit down next to Rehan.
The moonlight is coming from windows falling on his face. I never noticed the similarities between him and his mother.
Same dark black eyes, straight nose and pink lips.
I place my hand on his forehead running through his black locks.
I wish I could tell you everything but I can't I don't want to hurt you. I rest my head against the headboard and close my eyes.
Morning
" Swadheenta" I hear someone calling me and I open my eyes. Rehan is in front of me.
" Why are sleeping like this?" He asked and I look down, I slept sitting like this.
" Vo..."
" Anyways you know today is my coronation I'm so happy" he grins.
"I'll see how Yuvraj become Maharaj"
My eyes widened and I throw my arms around his neck hugging him tightly.
No, I'll not let her be successful, I can't tell him the truth but I'll protect him.
" Swadheenta" I feel his hands on my back as he calls me softly, I break the hug.
" Congratulations," I smiled.
" Same to you after all you're becoming Maharani as well," he said.
How do I say this? I don't want to become Maharani I don't even want to become Rajkumari all I want us to go far away from here.
But instead of saying this I just smiled.
Only today, after today after this coronation I'll somehow convince him to go far away from here. We'll never come back here.
Hall
I have to keep an eye on everything. The poison is so dangerous that only a touch could be life-threatening. I have to make sure he doesn't touch anything directly.
I saw Bhabhi giving instructions to a servant who held a large plate in his hands.
" Bhabhi" I called her, she nodded at him and he goes.
" Swadheenta"
" How are you?"
" I'm good, do you know where Yuvraj is?"
" Yes he and everyone is in the bath area as it is an important ceremony before coronation "
Coronation. I hate that word.
" What was that?" I referring towards the plate.
" Ohh it's Yuvraj's clothes Maharani send them" My eyes widened.
" Where is that bath area?" I asked hurriedly.
" At the end of the corridor towards left" I run as fast as soon she completes.
" Woah Swadheenta wait you can't go there it's for males only" she yelled but I ignored her.
Who the hell built this Palace so huge the corridor isn't ready to end.
I entered inside and saw a huge pool thank god no one was here. I hurriedly spotted the plate placed on a table along with other things. I run towards it and raise my hand to touch the clothes but stop my hand in the air.
What if it has poison? C'mon Swadheenta.
I close my eyes and touch the fabric.
I open my eyes when nothing happened.
" Swadheenta" I jumped when I hear someone call me from behind.
I turned and gasped when I saw Rehan standing behind me too close without a shirt. I look at his neck then to his chiselled chest and then abs. My mouth went dry and I close my mouth and gulped.
This is because of fear nothing else.
" What are you doing here?" I hear his deep voice invading my senses.
" I come here to check..." I said keeping my gaze down not looking at him.
" Check me out" he moved closer to me keeping his hands on either side of the table trapping me.
" No" still keeping my gaze down.
" Then" I feel him getting close to me.
His nose traced the side of my face going towards my ear. I lean backwards the table is pressed against my waist hurting me. I feel his teeth grazed at my earlobe and I tilt my face to another side, I grip the table tightly as my breathing deepened.
He pulled away immediately making me lookup. He is smirking at me.
He grip my wrist pulled me with a jerk making both of us fall in the pool. The water splashed.
Ang laga de re
Mohe rang laga de re
I gasped and grip his arms in fear. I open my eyes and he is standing close to me gripping my waist tightly. The water isn't deep in its up to our waist.
Main toh teri joganiya
Tu jog laga de re
My dupatta slipped from my head, I look up at him he is staring at me his eyes darken as his gaze went down to my neck my net dupatta became transparent because of water.
My cleavage was visible and his eyes more darkened as my bosom is going up and down because of fast breathing.
Suddenly he pulled me closer gripping my waist I gasped and placed my hands on his shoulders. We were so close our noses almost touched. He is looking at me with so much intensity that I couldn't hold his gaze anymore and turned my back towards him.
Ram ratan dhan
Lagan magan man
Tan mora chandan re
I feel him circling my stomach pulling me back to him. I feel his hand on my hand and he slides his hand upwards causing goosebumps on my arm.
Ujli kori preet piya
Satrang laga de
I feel his hand on my back, he remove my hair from my back and I shivered. I can feel him playing with the strings of my blouse. He pulled it and the blouse become loose.
My heart beats faster when I feel his lips on the side of my neck. He kissed me down and I squeeze my eyes tightly. He continued kissing my neck and I feel his hands on the straps of my blouse pulling it down from my shoulders.
" Yuvraj" a voice pulled both of us out from our dreamland.
" Go" he whispered.
Chullu bhar pani me dup maro Swadheenta.
I pull my blouse up and cover myself with a dupatta. I come out of the pool and cover myself with a dry cloth and come out of the room.
Room
I come out of the washroom after changing my wet clothes. When someone grabbed my wrist dragging me out of the room.
" Bhabhi, what are you doing?" I asked her but she didn't stop.
We entered a room and Bhabhi shouted privacy leaving only me, her and Lavanya who is sitting in front of the dressing table.
She gets up and holds a box in front of me.
" Your mangalsutra, I didn't even touch it" I take the box from her hand open it picking my mangalsutra in my hand I traced it's black beads.
" You are the wife of Yuvraj only you have the right of becoming Maharani" Bhabhi gave me the heavy lehenga for the ceremony.
" And I don't want to become anyone else Maharani" Lavanya said, I smiled.
I'm sitting in front of the mirror and Bhabhi and Lavanya are making me ready.
Chudiya, kangan, payal, bicchiya, baju band, karmar band, haar, mang tikka, sheeshphool. Yeh sab suhag ki nishaniya hai or mera suhag hi khatre me hai.
" Done"
I picked up the box and take a pinch of sindoor and fill my hairline.
" Cover your face so Rajmata doesn't get to know it not me," Lavanya said.
I get up and bend down in front of Bhabhi touching her feet.
" What are you doing?"
" Sada suhagan hone ka ashirwad mang rahi hu" I straightened up, she chuckled.
" Why not! Sada suhagan raho" she placed her hand on my head.
I'm sorry Rehan.
But if I have to stop your coronation to save you.
I'll do it.
