SIYAASAT - Chapter 17: Chapter 17

After 2 days
Office
Rehan Pratap Singh
I ran my hand through my hair in frustration currently I'm sitting inside my office, listening to Soham.
" I'm not understanding first you said that we will not hurt his sister she is innocent," Soham said.
" But you scared her when we went to the club," Dev said.
" Then you said I'll not marry her, she is no one," Soham said.
" But you married her," Dev said.
" Then you said I'll divorce her after taking her sign," Soham said.
" But you didn't make her sign on any papers," Dev said.
" Then you said you'll not let her go anywhere before she signs the paper," Soham said.
" And now you're saying that you want that girl out of your life anyhow," Dev said.
I get up from the chair and look outside from the glass window.
" You're doing the opposite of what you said," Soham said.
I'm not understanding what is running inside your mind" Dev said.
" I'm not able to understand what is running inside her head" I replied sharply turning towards them.
" You guys tell any girl, any goddamn girl, will she stay at that house where she knows that anything can happen to her if she screamed no one will able to hear her scream and help her then why she is staying at that house when she has all the opportunities to go to her home, why she is not leaving?"
" I don't know" both of them shrugged.
" I have to do something, something that she will go back to her home before anyone gets to know about her" I grabbed the keys of the car from the table and goes out of the office.
^^^^^^^^^^
Swadheenta
" Hii, how are you?" Bhai asked through video call.
" I'm awesome " I smiled.
I didn't tell Bhai about anything that happened and neither did I was planning to, whatever happened is because of me and I'll make everything right and also I won't leave him so easily.
" What are you doing?" Kirti asked.
I switch to the back camera and showed her, a maid is preparing a cup of tea right now I'm sitting in the garden.
Like I always wished for.
" Thank you," I said to her and she leaves.
" Woah... Wahh yr " Kirti said.
" Jalwe hai apne"
" Your every dream is coming true"
" Gradually"
" God knows when my dream will come too"
" Why?"
" Look at your Bhai he still didn't talk to my father about our marriage"
" Joru ke gulam..."
" What?" Bhai glared at me.
" I mean how can this be possible your boyfriend is not listening to you Kirti"
" Yes," she said looking down.
" Are you sure Bhai wants to marry you, I think he finds someone " I smirked.
" Aarav" Kirti look at Bhai with a glare.
" Yr Kirti you're coming into her talks"
" Anyways... Joru toh idhar hai joru ka gulam kaha hai?" Kirti asked teasingly.
Smile leave my face when I thought about him. Who will tell her that Swadheenta who knows how to control anyone can not able to control her husband.
" Work," I said
" Ohh, ok bye"
" Bye," I cut the call and place the mobile on the table and picked up the cup. I don't know what is happening and what is going to happen and where he is? Well, it's nice that he isn't here I don't want to see his face.
I was going to take a sip when someone snatch the cup from my hands and I look up to find him.
Seriously god.
" Enough of your enjoyment, your vacation are over now go back to your home," he said glaring at me, I stand up.
" This is my home," I said firmly crossing my arms across my chest.
" This is not" he takes a step towards me instead of being scared I chuckled.
" Looks like you have amnesia remember it was you who take me here as your wife so now this is my home"
" And I'm the one who is asking you to sign the papers and leave this house"
" Not even in dreams but I'll sign on one condition"
" What?" He asked eager to know.
" I want half of your property as alimony"
" Not even in dreams"
" Your wish" I shrugged and turned to leave but he hold my wrist and yanked me, making me collide with his chest and twist my wrist painfully.
" Leave me," I said through my clenched teeth.
" I'll if you leave me" he smirked, I shake my head and he twist my wrist more. I close my eyes for a second because of the pain then glared at him.
" You'll leave this house before I come back and if you don't.." he come closer and whispered in my ear " to be ready for the worst".
He left me with a jerk and I stumbled a bit to regain my posture I stare at his back as he was going.
" No so easily" I massaged my wrist which turned red.
^^^^^^^^
Rehan Pratap Singh
I hope now she would get scared and will leave.
I open the door and I stood there in shock. My Father and Nilay are here.
" Yuvraj " my father greeted me as he sees me.
" Maharaj" words escaped from my mouth but I was still in shock. I go and sit in front of them on the couch.
" You here?" Praying in my mind that they don't know about anything.
I raise my eyebrows at Soham asking that something is wrong, he shakes his head, I sigh.
" Yes to take you with us," He said and I knitted my eyebrows.
" Your mother has selected so many girls for you and wanted to get you to marry as fast as possible and I also want to see you on the throne of Madhavgarh" I smiled nervously.
" Jii Maharaj but what's the hurry? I want to first focus on the business which is here"
" You have bigger things to deal with, leave this to your younger brother " he places his hand on Nilay's shoulder.
" But..."
" Hum or kuch nahi suneyenge " he stood up  " we will leave for Madhavgarh tomorrow and this time both your marriage and coronation will happen" he ordered and I nodded.
They both go out of office.
I sit on the couch with a thud and my friends sit around me.
" Now what will happen?"
" What will you do?"
" I don't know"
Marriage, wife I already have one and she is not ready to leave me, how will I handle other?
" I know," Soham said and we all look towards him.
" Tell everything to him"
"  You know what you're saying if his father gets to know about everything then.." Soham interrupts Dev.
" Then nothing will happen, like he said leave this business to your younger brother then he'll say leave the crown to your younger brother" Soham and Dev chuckled.
" Nothing will happen like that " I get up from the couch" the crown is mine and always be".
^^^^^^^
Swadheenta
" Mam your bath is ready" she informed me and I nodded.
" Can you arrange some milk too"
" Offcourse Mam"
I go inside the washroom and see the bathtub. I smiled and sit on the edge of it playing with the rose petals with is in it.
" Mam" she placed the jug there and leave.
I get up and undressed then slowly put my feet inside and lay down in the tub closing my eyes.
I grabbed the jug and poured the milk on myself it was always my dream to bath with milk.
^^^^^^^^
Rehan Pratap Singh
I was busy with my work when my mobile rang.
" Yes"
" Boss you asked us not to let anyone inside the mansion but we can't stop your father" I get up from the chair.
" Shit, shit, shit this is not gonna happen no, no, no" I walk back and forth in the office.
Swadheenta is there, she can't come in front of him and I run out of my office.
I reached the mansion and run inside and stop there to look at the scene in front of me.  He and Nilay are sitting peacefully on the couch.
" What happened?" Father asked, I shake my head.
It means he didn't know about Swadheenta till now. Then where is she?
^^^^^^^^^
Swadheenta
I come out of the tub and wear the bathrobe. I comb my wet hair with my fingers and come outside when I feel someone's stare at me I look up and find Rehan sitting on the bed staring at me.
" What are you staring at?" I snapped at him.
"  Dekh raha hu " his eyes roam on my body as he comes towards me " tum sach me insan ho ya jalpari" he snaked his one arm around my waist and pulled me to him.
" Stay away"
" You're inside for 3 hours, what were you doing?" He asked chuckling.
" None of your business, leave me"
" I asked you the same thing, did you listen? No, right? Now what will be your punishment" his one hand is on the knot of the robe.
" Don't you dare" I grip his hand, he grabbed my jaw and made me look at him.
" It's night that's why I'm not throwing you out of this mansion right now but I'll do this tomorrow morning, understood?"
" No"
" You" he gripped my jaw more hardly.
There is a knock on the door and he left me.
" Mam, Sir dinner is ready," a maid said and Rehan nodded and she left. I goes towards the door but he grabbed my wrist.
" Where do you think you're going?"
" Heaven, want to join?" He glared at me.
" You'll not step out of this room"
" Why?"
" Because I said so" he goes outside locking me in the room.
-------------------------------------
Night
I turned on the side but didn't able to fall asleep.  The gossips of maids are running in my mind they are talking about someone who came here and Rehan also didn't let me go outside so I get suspicious about that.
I turned and see him sleeping. Why think about something when you can find out. I get up slowly from the bed and made my way towards the door I got out of the room and close the door slowly.
I come downstairs to the hall and look around but didn't see anyone.
I want to find out, but how?
If you want to know about some news about someone's house you have to go to Padosi. Network but there is no padosi here, how'll I get to know?
I know. I smirked.
I go inside the servants quarters and start looking around when I hear the whispers from a room and I smile. I found what was I looking for.
They are all sitting inside the room in a circle gossiping.
" Sahab came today"
" Bade sahab or chote sahab bhi"
Who are they?
" Who is she? You should know her Chachi" a lady asked another lady she must be in her fifties.
" Nahi pata"
" I thought she is his friend but she is living in his room," the third one says.
" Yes even he didn't say anything to her, is she his wife?" the second one said.
" Wife? Patni? Kaha se lagta ha tumhe ki vo suhagan hai na sindoor lagti hai, na mangalsutra phenti hai mene toh humsha use jeans pehene hi dekha hai muje toh lagta hai vo girl-- arey kya hota hai vo"
" Girlfriend Chachi"
" Ha vahi hai or agar biwi hoti toh apne Sasur or Dewar se milne nahi aati"
Sasur or Dewar.
So this is the matter. Rehan you said you'll throw me out of this mansion tomorrow. n
Now I'll see how you do this.
------------------------------------------
Morning
I take the pinch of sindoor and fill my hairline and wear my mangalsutra.
" Lo ban gyi me Sohagun "
I come out of the washroom and saw him sleeping peacefully.
Sahi kaha hai kisi ne jo sota hai vo khota hai.
I won't disturb you.
I goes out room and descend the stairs. There is my Father in law sitting on the couch but his back is facing me.
I go and bend down to touch his feet.
" What are you doing?" He asked me and I stand up.
" Who are you?"
" Apki Bahu," I said smiling.
