chapter 15
Jaswant Singh!!!!.. Hearing Rudra's voice, all the sitting people stand at their places..
Chavi's eyes well up with tears on hearing her daughter's name. Seeing her getting weak , to give her some courage rajmata hug her .
Harsh also gets shocked at his place, he does not understand what is happening.But hearing his father's next words, he comes out of his thoughts.
"yeh mat bhuliye ki aap kiske bare me baat kr rhe hai"( don't forget,whom you are talking about)Rudra's eyes turn red in anger, he says each word dangerously.
Jaswant apologizes and says"
shama chahte hai maharaj ,Humhra koi udayes nhi ta rajkuma ka apman krne ka , hum vhi bta rhe hai Jo ki usne dekha.aap khudh puch shkte hai ajeet se vho bhar hi hai .
hum use apne sath hi layi hai Hukum"( i apologize your majesty I have no intention of insulting the princess but We are telling only what he saw.
If you want, you can talk to Ajit himself, he is outside. We have brought him with us..)
After getting Rudra's permission, Jaswant invites him inside.
rudra take a deep breath to control his anger ,not to kill him now.
Rudra asks him to tell everything again clearly. Ajit bows down to greet them while joining his palms together.
And he tells the whole thing again with details, without raising his head, but he does not tell some things.
Everyone after hearing him , feel a hope in their hearts.
Chhavi cannot stop herself and starts crying happily thinking that if everything is true then her daughter is alive.
Rajmata suddenly sits in her place in shock and her eyes filled with tears.in happiness.
Rudra, Harshvardhan and Chhavi suddenly gets afraid seeing this, and surround her but on being told by Rajmata that she is fine, everyone feels a little relaxed.But even after she protests, Rudra forcefully sends his mother to her room with his wife for a checkup by royal physician out of fear.
And Jaswant, Ajit, Rudra and Harshvardhan remain in the hall.
Rudra sits at his place engrossed in his own thoughts.
He remembers how his daughter used to look, her smile, her sweet voice.
When he held her for the first time, when she called him baba for the first time in her Milky voice , other memories and when he saw her for the last time Remembering all this, his eyes become moist, and decides that he will bring his daughter back.
Harshavardhan also stands quietly on the side for minutes, he was unable to digest that his brother can hide something from him .What happened that he kept his sister hidden from everyone for so long, there must be something.
And he stare Ajeet's face suspiciously to know whether he is telling the truth or not.
but His face was showing that he is not telling the whole thing yet, He comes close to him and cupping his cheeks with force,he lifts his head up .
.the moment Ajit's eyes meet his, a shiver ran down his spine .
harshvarshan says in cold voice.
"Hume esa ku lg rha hai ki tum abi bhi pura sach nhi bol rhe ho...uh. bolo!""( why do i get the feeling that you're still not telling the whole truth ...uh ..say!).
Seeing Harshvardhan's dark hazel green eyes and hearing his words, Ajit's heart sinks.And he was forced to take the decision to tell the truth .
he says "Rajkumar, mine joh abi kaha hai vo sab sach hai ,me mnta hu ki mine Puri bt ko nhi btaya ku ki muje vo puri trah se nhi gyat ho payi"(prince ,what I just told was true, I agree that I did not tell the whole thing because i wasn't fully sure about that matters.)
"uhm...joh bhi hai hume Puri baat batao."( whatever it is tell us the whole thing) harshvardhan says impatiently to him .
He tells how the princess was injured and she did not regain consciousness for two days.and how Karan was worried for her that he was ready to kill the physician and how he made a mistake and was caught.
his face change hearing ajeet's words.
rudra's body also tensed hearing this.Harsh again confirms to him and let him go.
Rudra order jaswant with a straight face , no one can tell what he was thinking by looking at his face.
"humari karauli Jane ki vyavastha kariye hum kl suryoday hote hi parasthan kre ge ."(Make arrangements for us to go to Karauli, we will leave as soon as the sun rises) .
"I will also go with you father..." Harshvardhan says immediately because he could not sit here peacefully.
" jaesi aapki ichha, Maharaj!(As you wish , your majesty)
, After saying this, he blows down and leaves from there.
The very next day, they leaves for Karauli with some of their soldiers.
Ash was taking bath while wrapping a small fabric around her body to cover the main parts and lost in her thoughts. shyama was helping in washing her hairs. .
i know how upset everyone must be about my absence at home especially my friends .
but as it is said that some things are not in our hands, similarly my departure from here is also not in my hands.
I have been running from problems all my life but now
from today I will not run away from anyone, nor will I be afraid of anyone. And I will face all the problems
Those who are responsible for this condition of mine or my family I will make their life worse than hell.
That they all beg for death from me, but I will not let them get that too.and this is my promise to them .
I always wanted a normal life but if my life wants to play games with me
So I will also show her my victory in her every game.
" rajkumari ji....kis soch me itni dubi huye hai aap"(In what thought are you so engrossed) Shyam says putting her hand on her shoulder and shakes her a little .When Ash does not reply to her.
Ash comes out of her thoughts on hearing Shyama's voice and says with a bright smile
" kahi nhi hum bas yeh soch rhe the ki na bhaisa ke liye bhojan hum banaye ?"(nowhere, I was just thinking that why not cook food for my brother today?).
Shyama surprised to know this and says - " aapko bhojan pakana ata hai rajkumari".(you know how to cook princess?).
Ash nods with a smile and wraps her hair in a cotton fabric to come out of the pool, going to the dressing room to get ready.And orders the maidservants to keep some things ready .
shyama was very happy to see that for the first time in so many days the princess has expressed her desire to come out of her room and do something.
And while smiling she gives clothes to Ash and starts taking out jewelries for her to wear.
Ashnoor wears a light pink lehenga and sits in front of the dressing table. After washing her face with ubtan, she doesn't have to apply anything else on his face. she does not need to apply anything else on her face and body . She applies rose water on her face as a toner.
she applies very little kajal in her eyes . And wears some light weight jewellery.
Shyama dries her hair with a cloth.
When Ash starts getting up after getting completely ready, Shyama puts her hands on both her shoulders and makes her sit back on chair.
"rukhye...rukhye rajkumari... abhi kuch sesh reh gya hai "(.wait... wait princess... there's still sometimes left ) Shyama says.
Ash hears this and checks herself by looking in the mirror but sees nothing, so she ask her in confusion " kya sesh reh gya hai?"(What's left?).
Shyama takes kajal from the dressing table and draws a dot of kajal on her forehead and also applies it behind her ear And gazing at her beauty says with satisfied smile " ab aapko kisi ki bhe buri najar nhi lge gi "( Now you will be protected from the evil eye).
.Ashnoor remembers her friend after seeing her cheerful nature and she smiles seeing her.
