SIYAASAT - Chapter 23: Chapter 23

Swadheenta
He steps away from me and I look down, a tear fell from my eye whatever he said it's like it happened really.
I wipe the tear with the back of my hand and glared up at him with intensity.
" How? How dare you?" I asked in a low calm voice, he just raises his eyebrow with a side of his mouth pulling in a mocking smirk.
" How can you threaten me like that? I'm your wife!"
" Wife?" He laughed. " I never accepted you as my wife neither will, you're just my mistake, mistake! And because of that mistake, my crown is away from me" He shouted.
"If only I didn't marry you I don't have to tell so many lies and nothing like this is happening " he takes a breath and said calmly " But soon I'll get rid of my mistake".
" Why not now?" I smirk at him, he knitted his eyebrows.
" Let's tell everyone the truth" I smile at him as his face turned pale.
I grabbed my lehenga and lift it, he shook his head telling me, no but I didn't listen and run towards the door and got out of the room.
" Swadheenta no" I hear him yell behind me as I run.
My anklets are making noise as I run in the huge hallway the sound of his footsteps gave me warning that he is just behind me if I stop he'll catch me.
" Maharaj" I screamed.
" No Swadheenta " he yelled.
" Maharani, Rajmata, is anyone here?"
" Swadheenta"
I'm just running aimlessly because I don't know where their rooms were. I look behind me and my eyes wide he is so close to me I look in front again and changed the direction.
I'm running as fast as possible but didn't reach anywhere, am I running in circles? I look behind me and frown when I didn't see him.
Suddenly I bumped into someone I look up and gasped.
" Where will you run now?" He smirked grabbing my both arms.
" Leave me" he shook his head.
" Maharaj " I screamed struggling in his grip.
In a flash, I was pinned to the wall and I feel a pair of lips on mine. He is kissing me, no he is not kissing me he is making me shut up. I tried to say something but it come out like a moan.
I tried to get out of his grip but he is holding both hands above my head. He deepened the kiss holding my hands tightly.
He bite on my lower lip harshly enough to draw blood then sucked it, he continued kissing me till I got out of breath.
He broke the kiss but still didn't leave my hands. His well-styled hair turned into a mess some of his hair strands falling on his forehead midnight black eyes glaring at me and dark pink lips wet from the kiss.
" You love to scream, isn't it? If you do something like this again I'll make sure you scream only one thing that is my name" he whispered through gritted teeth and left me with a jerk.

Night
I was roaming around the palace because I don't want to go to the room and saw his face. I have been avoiding him for the whole day.
I sit on the couch which was placed in there then my gaze fell on the silver thing which is placed beside the couch on the table. I get up and look at it.
It looks like hookah.
Is it made of silver? Sahi hai rajshi logo ke rajshi taath.
If hookah is there then coal will be too let's enjoy it. After making the hookah I enjoyed it and then I fell sleepy and I fall asleep.
---------
I open my eyes and sit up. The sun is shining brightly I look at my phone for the time it's seven in the morning. I get up and made my way towards the room.
It's been my routine for the last few days after our fight we both start avoiding each other I goes to the room when he is not there and he also didn't come in front of me.
After getting ready I come and sit in bed. I'm getting bored. I throw my phone on the bed and I also lied. I take a strand of hair in my hands and start playing with it.
What do I do?
Idea!
I get up from bed and open the bag which I brought here with me. I open the box in which I kept the ghoongroo.
I sit down on the floor and tied them on my legs I stand up and move my feet and instantly the beautiful sound of ghungroo come.
I close my eyes and move my feet and the ghoongroo start creating music making me dance.
" Enough!"
I open my eyes and saw him standing at the door with anger on his face. He comes inside closing the door with his foot.
" I said enough!" He again said but I didn't listen and continued dancing.
" The things which I said don't do why you always do that" I again ignored him and start twirling.
" Now enough"
He come close and grabbed my arm to stop me but I was twirling so my foot kicked his by accident and we both stumbled and fell rolling on the floor.
He is under me while I was on him. I look up and found him already staring at me I place my hand on his chest and tried to get up but again fell in him because my dupatta is wrapped around us.
" What are you doing?" He asked irritated.
" Playing piano, can't you see I'm trying to get up" I replied in the same tone and glared up at him.
I remove the pin which held my dupatta and it became loose so I get up and straightened my lehenga he also gets up.
" What did I say? You'll never wear them and dance" he said angrily.
" And why would I listen to you?" I asked crossing my arms across my chest.
" Because this is my order"
" Well your highness I don't take orders from anyone"
" Listen to me or else," he said with a warning in his tone.
" You'll what?" I yelled taking a step forward towards him. " You'll again put blame on me for what things I didn't do. Let me show you the mirror maybe no one has ever said anything to you and you put blame on them but don't ever think of doing this to me"
" I was not the one who went to vacation leaving all his business, I was not the one who didn't look after his business, I was not the one who plans to take someone's business because I don't know how to run mine, I was not one who lied to my family so don't you dare put your mistakes blames on me all the things which are happening you are solely responsible for them" his jaws were set and glaring at me. He take a step forward and open his mouth but someone knocked on the door and we both look towards it.
I picked up my dupatta from the floor throw it on my shoulder and open the door a maid was standing there.
" Maharaj has asked to come down in the hall," she said and left. Rehan too left after waking past me deliberately pushing me. I rolled my eyes and corrected my dupatta putting it on my head and going down.
-----------
Hall
I come downstairs and saw everyone is already there. I go and stand beside Rehan.
" I asked everyone to present there because I have to announce something important," Maharaj said.
" Yuvraj" he called Rehan and he walked to him.
" I'm going to make Yuvraj the Maharaj of Madhavgarh" he stated and a huge smile broke on Rehan's face why would it not be after all that's what he wants.
" Because this is his right and I can't snatch his right," he said placing a hand on his shoulder smiling at him then turned towards us " but the coronation ceremony will take time because I want it grand "
" Congratulations," Bhabhi said to me and I faked a smile.
Why are you congratulating me? I'm not becoming Maharaj.
After everything happened I come back to the room and saw your highness sitting no laying no mix of both on the couch with a glass of wine in his hand.
" What happened Shezaade? You said I was responsible for you not becoming Maharaj." I asked pretending to shock, he rolled his eyes and sit up.
" Kuch kahu?" I go and sit beside him snatching the glass from him.
" Humse na tameez se baat kiya karo hum Maharani banne vale hai" I flip my hair.
" Humse? You didn't become queen yet" he take the glass from me.
" Exactly Shezaade you haven't become king yet" I take the glass from him" What if I tell everyone the truth" I whispered raising both eyebrows, leaning close to him.
" You won't" he whispered.
" I'll if you don't treat me right" I sit back on my seat, he pours another glass.
" Deal," he said picking up the glass.
" Nice" I clicked the glass.
^^^^^^^^^
" I don't want to eat take it away," Maharani said angrily and start walking around the room.
The maid takes the plate and leaves the room. Nilay entered the room and look at his mother.
" What happened Maharani Sahiba why don't want to eat," he asked sitting down on the couch grabbing an apple from the bowl which was placed on the table.
" After all your beloved son is going to become the king," he said through gritted teeth and clenched the apple.
" What are you doing? " He shouted getting up. " How can you let her become the Maharani? She is from our enemy state. Why was every mistake of your beloved son overlooked?"
He goes and stands in front of her.
" Never in our family marriages happened without elders choice and he married with the Princess from whom family we have a rivalry and still Maharaj is going make him new Maharaj"
" She will take your place," he said.
" I'll not let this happen"
" Never" she turned to the other side, determination clear in her voice.
" How?" Nilay asked, she smirked.
" Lavanya"
