SIYAASAT - Chapter 19: Chapter 19

Swadheenta
" Yuvraj Rehan Pratap Singh" his Dadi yelled and I stiffened a little.
Woah she is definitely a queen because she roared like a lioness.
I look at Rehan who is standing without flinching as nothing happened, but why everyone's mood turned sour when everything is fine a few minutes ago.
" Badi Bahu escort Rajkumari to her room," my Father in law said to a woman who is standing beside a man, she is wearing a nice lehenga with pallu on her head.
Badi Bahu means Rehan's Bhabhi.
" Jii," she said and come forward towards me, she smiled at me I also return the smile.
" Come" she said and I start following her but my gaze falls on something and I kept looking at it.
How beautiful it is!
" Rajkumari" I heard her call me and I immediately look down closing my mouth.
We climb the stairs and look around at everything. It is so beautiful.
" It's beautiful?" I heard her say and I look at her, she smiled and continue.
" I heard Rajgarh Palace is beautiful too"
Kya Malum? I was going to shrug when I remembered I'm Princess of Rajgarh so I nodded.
" We reached," she said as we come in front of a room.
So soon I want to explore the whole Palace.
" I know this is all new and you're nervous but I'm here if you have any problem you can come to me I'm just like your elder sister," she said to me, I nodded.
" Ohh I forgot to tell you my name, it's Meher I'm Yuvraj's cousin Abheer's wife"
" Swadheenta," I said softly.
" Lovely name just like you" she said.
" Now come" she opened the door of the room and we entered.
It's a huge room and perfectly decorated like I always wanted. The lights are dim and candles are lighting the place.
" Hope you liked it?" she asked me.
Liked it? I loved it. I wanted to shout but I control my feelings and nodded looking down.
" I think I should leave now" she smiled at me and goes outside closing the door.
I look towards the right where a bed is placed than my left where the couch and a huge piano is placed.
No one is here.
"Yayy! " I screamed loudly. I can't believe I'm finally in a palace. I take out my phone from my bag along with earpods and start the music in full volume.
Taare gin gin yaad 'ch teri
Main taan jaagan raatan nu
Rok na pavan ankhiyan vichon
Gham diya barsatan nu
I literally throw the heels I'm wearing before enjoying the music fully by dancing.
"Oh ho ho ho
Oh ho ho ho
Oh ho ho ho
Oh ho ishq tera tadapave" I shouted the lyrics while dancing almost crazily.
^^^^^^^^^^^
Rehan Pratap Singh
Standing in the majestic room of the Palace I'm listening to the glorious history of the kings of Madhavgarh.
" I can't believe you'll do something like that" Rajmata said shaking her head " look at them you " she pointed towards the wall where pictures of previous kings are placed " they are glorious kings I thought you'll make us proud but what did you do" she comes towards me.
" You married the Princess of the enemy kingdom, hum apse puchna chahte hai kyu? Apne aisa kyu kiya?" Rajmata asked angrily.
" Rajmata ap hume galat samaj rahi hai" I said softly standing straight in front of her.
" Toh hume sach bataye" she asked raising her eyebrow, keeping her face straight.
" You're thinking that I married her because of love but this is not true I married her because of revenge" I walk past us and stand in front of portraits " no one has forgotten till now what Rajgarh did to us and when I see this golden opportunity I didn't let it waste" I turned and look towards them.
" But why did you marry her? What the need to marry her?" Maharani asked and I turned towards her.
That's the problem I'm also didn't know why I married her if I didn't do that stupidity she is not here and I was not telling lie after lie here.
" You know you're Yuvraj future King of Madhavgarh and she is your wife, she will be called the Maharani of Madhavgarh and I won't accept her neither as my daughter in law nor as Maharani" Ma stated angrily looking aside.
" Who is asking you to accept her as Maharani and Daughter in law?" I asked her and she furrow her eyebrows looking at me.
" She is the Princess of Rajgarh" I walk towards her " make her understand that she neither she is capable of becoming the Maharani nor a daughter in law of Madhavgarh," I said giving her the hint and she smriked understanding it.
---------
I can't believe it. I run my hand throw my hair.
Her being the Princess of Rajgarh did so much chaos if someone would have the slightest idea that she is not a Princess I don't know what will happen.
What will happen to me?
Suddenly I heard a scream and I run towards the room. I get inside and saw Swadheenta who is screaming, I run towards her and clasped her mouth shut.
" What the hell you were doing?" I hissed and left her.
She turned towards me and grin at me.
" What can I do? Happiness is so much that I can't suppress it" she said showing me her wife eyes.
" Omg Rehan I'm so happy," she said grabbing my hands twirling me with herself.
" You gave me the biggest happiness there is nothing more than that for me" I can see her eyes shining with happiness.
" You have no idea what you have done"
I really don't have.
" I so want to kiss you," she said coming closer placing her hand on side of my face, my eyes widened.
What!
" Don't mind, it just went out" she backs up shaking her head then again looking up at me.
" It was my dream from childhood to stay in a palace. When I first saw a palace I asked my Ma why can't be mine she said one day and I believed, I grow up but the wish remained, Bhai said to stop living in dreamland, Kirti always told me that I'm crazy but I know one day, how I don't know? But one day my dream will come true and you made it come true" she looks around at everything.
" I can touch anything," she said touching the wall " walls, piano, things, doorknob, I can call it mine" she place both her hands on her chest.
" I'm so happy" she went towards the bed and take the rose petals with were scattered on the bed and throw them up and twirls.
" The Palace is mine I'm the Princess of it" she screamed and I just look at her stunned.
Is she fine?
Don't tell me she is crazy too.
" Keep your voice down" I went towards her and she closed her mouth " And behave like a Princess".
" But I did behave like a Princess. I didn't even utter a word to your Bhabhi she must be suspicious by now that I'm mute"
" And what about you? How you starred the palace by you doe eyes it was witnessed by all, remember, Swadheenta this is palace everything is under surveillance, next time don't do anything which would create suspicion" she nodded.
" It's night let's sleep" I stated.
Because you have no idea what is going to happen with you tomorrow.
^^^^^^^^
The news of Yuvraj's marriage spread in the Palace like fire and he married the Princess of Rajgarh added fuel to the fire. Everyone is busy in discussions that how can it happen.
Inside Room
Abheer and Meher both sitting on bed leaning against the headboard.
" I can't believe it," Abheer Yuvraj's cousin said looking at his wife.
" Marriage and that too with enemy's kingdom Princess " he look ahead confusion was clear on his face.
" I know this is hard to believe but love can make you do anything," his wife Meher said placing a hand on his shoulder.
" Love?" Abeer looks at Meher with disbelief.
-------
" Love?" Rajmata asked amused looking over her shoulder at her Son.
" Yes, love" Maharaj Veer replied his mother who is standing with her back towards him.
" Yuvraj said she loves him and why would he lie?" He said looking down then something clicked and his eyes widened in realisation, he asked looking up
" unless he loves her?"
" No, there is no love between them. Neither Yuvraj loves her nor Rajkumari loves him. There is something beyond which right now we are not able to find out" Rajmata said looking deep in her thoughts.
" I have seen her eyes how it roamed around, she looks in my eyes Maharani didn't do this till now but she did and I saw fire in her eyes as she comes here for something," Rajmata said.
" To destroy Madhavgarh?" Maharaj asked suddenly.
" Nahi, vo yaha kuch pana chahti hai, kuch hasil karne ayi hai. Keep an eye on both of them" Rajmata ordered before going out of office.
" Jii" Maharaj nodded.
------
" Ma " Prince Nilay come to her mother's room.
She was looking out but heard his voice and turned to look at him and a maid standing beside him with a tray in her hands, he signalled the maid and she placed the tray down on the table and goes.
" What is this?" She asked.
" Your favourite sweet" Nilay said picking up a bowl and forwarding it towards his mother.
" Not now," she said turning her back towards her and continuing starring outside.
" Why? Apke ladle bete Shadi karke aaye hai or ap muh meetha bhi nahi karengi?" Nilay asked her mother as nothing happened.
" You know what happened?" She glared at him.
" Yes I know but it looks like you have forgotten. Isn't it you who says Rehan is so capable of being Maharaj he has every quality what you didn't do for him and what he did"
" Apke bete unke pyaar me itne deewane ho gye ki yeh tak bhool gaye ki vo dushman ki Rajkumari hai" Nilay taunted.
" I said it before and I said it now to he is more capable of becoming Maharaj and he didn't do this marriage because of love" she fired back.
" Then why?" He questions.
" I don't know yet, but I'll find out there is so much more than that which is showing" she answered.
-----
" But what will happen now?" Meher asked for Abheer.
-----
" Same thing, which happened till now," Maharani said.
" Which is?" Nilay asked.
-----
Rajmata said looking outside at the view of the entrance of Madhavgarh Palace.
