SIYAASAT - Chapter 31: Chapter 31

Swadheenta
I gasped seeing the all the things which is in box scattered on the floor.
" What happened?" Lavanya asked scared.
" Nothing" I swat down picking the things Lavanya also helped me.
When something caught my attention it's a photograph I clean the dirt of photo by my hands and my eyes widened.
" Beautiful!" I gasped.
" She is beautiful" I heard Lavanya said.
She?
Damnit, I was looking at the beautiful necklace which she was wearing it's so beautiful the emerald between the diamonds is too beautiful. I look up at her face. Arched eyebrows, big eyes, straight nose and full lips, indeed she is beautiful.
I gave the photo to Lavanya and start collecting other papers. I place them on in box and stand up placing the box on table and picked up the papers which turned yellow. I open them and something is written in them. It's seems like a letter.
Maharaj,
Ap se hi humara kuch hai. Hum apko batana chahte hai ap jis........... kar rahe hai vo is ke............. nahi hai. Hum apse bohot pyaar karte hai sab hai. Hum jante ki ap hum par............ nahi karte par hum apke hi hai. Apko dhokha de..... sakte. Jo gunh..... hai vo apka..... hai. Apke..... hi hai.
Apki Rani
Ratnagarbha
This is not making any sense because the paper is so worn out that the ink by which it written is spread around the paper.
" Did you understand it?" Lavanya asked, I clicked my tongue and gave her the paper.
" Do you?"
" It seems like love letter" she said shrugging " that time mobile phones are there that's why they write love letters to eachother" she said pointing other letters which are placed in the box.
" Yeah you're right, only if the ink was not spread then it will be fun reading them " I said to her as she fold the letter and place in again in the box.
" Hmm" she smiled when a noise come and both of our eyes widened and smile fell.
" Looks like chudail didn't like us reading her love letters" Lavanya said and I gulped.
" Run" we both run outside the room.
" Where is the door?" Lavanya asked loudly.
Same thing which I searched for when I came here before.
" We have to search for stairs not door" I said and run towards the stairs.
We both climbed the stairs hurriedly and close the doors once we come upstairs and stand leaning against the wall catching our breaths.
" Thank god" Lavanya says panting.
" Why didn't you want to see the ghost" I taunted narrowing my eyes at her.
" It's look more good in movies not in real life"
" Why don't you just accept that you're scared"
We both look at eachother then smiled because we both know we both won't accept that we are scared.
I was walking back to the room with thoughts running in my mind.
Should I tell him that I went to that floor with Lavanya?
No he'll scold me. He already warn me about not roaming around the palace.
I come in my room and close the door I went towards the dressing table and sit down. One by one I take off jewellery I was wearing.
Should I tell him about that photo?
About that queen?
I get up went inside the washroom to changed in to night gown. I come out of washroom and closed the door. I sit on the bed.
Is that letters really love letters?
Ohh stop it Swadheenta that's not important. Important is that who is one behind the attacks.
I lied down on the bed and close my eyes.
How can these attacks happened after all there is so many security around the palace. Is someone is in from palace involved in in this? But if this happens he would have been captured by now.
I heard slight movement beside me and I turned around and found a silhouette standing at the right side of bed and what made me gasped was he is gripping a dagger in his hand.
I feel something on my hand and I look at my hand it's is covered in blood.
Rehan is laying beside me in a pool of blood.
" Nahii" I screamed.
My eyes get opened and I look around I'm laying on bed then look at my hand it's clean.
Thank god.
So it means I saw a dream.
I close my eyes in relief.
" I were about to sleep and you screamed" I heard Rehan's sleepy voice and found him laying on his stomach facing me.
" Rehan are you fine?" I asked slowly, he opened his eyes and knitted his eyebrows.
" Did he got captured?"
" Who?" He yawned.
" Who attached you"
" No"
" Then how can you sleep without any care, Rehan he can attack you again, how are you not scared?"
" I'm used to this it's normal" he said casually making me frown.
" This is not normal and why are these attacks are happening on you?"
" Hum Yuvraj hai", I just keep looking at him waiting for him to explain further.
" From childhood this is happening seeing these attacks Rajmata spend me to foreign for studies after I completed my studies and came back, the day before I became Yuvraj attack happen on me the tent in which I was sleeping it was set on fire and again these attacks start then I went to Delhi and rest you know"
I don't know what to say? He explaining like it is normal when it is not. He is definitely blessed because even after so many attacks nothing happened to him.
I startled a little when I feel a arm wrapped around me pulling me closer to him.
" What are you doing?" I asked looking at him.
" Making you sleep or else neither will you sleep nor let me sleep and whole night will pass in conversation" he pulled the quilt up to my shoulder and close his eyes. I also close my eyes feeling safe in his embrace.

Morning
I smile at my reflection after getting ready.
The queen she is so beautiful. Her dark black eyes and straight nose it's like god carved her with patience.
Heyy I'm beautiful too.
" Koi itna sundar kaise ho sakta hai, Not possible" I squeal happily.
" Impossible" I heard.
I narrowed my eyes and rotate on my seat and look at Rehan who is doing push-ups.
" Excuse me, are you saying I'm not beautiful?" He stops and look at me for second then shook his head and continue doing push ups.
" I was correcting you, not possible nahi impossible"
" Dekho Shezaade thik hai tum foreign se padh kar aaye ho par iska matlab yeh nahi ki tum mujhe par english jhadoge" I turn back and look myself in mirror" I know it's impossible"
" Don't you want to get ready? It's Rajmata's strict order to get ready"
" Hum ho jayenge tum apni chinta karo" he get up and went inside washroom.
After what happened Rajmata decided that we all will go to temple for praying about Rehan's well being.
I picked my phone and start taking selfies when the washroom door gets opened he came outside wearing a kurta.
" Wow you're looking so handsome just like real prince" I get and goes towards him.
" You have doubt?" He raise his eyebrow folding the selves of kurta.
" No, nevermind, I'll take a picture of you" I step back and found him with straight expression. I signalled him a little and he rolled his eyes then smile, I also smiled and clicked the pic then take some selfies.
After that we get down and found everyone ready we all sat inside the car and which I'm thankful because I don't want to walk like last time.
The cars stop and we come out. I can see the temple's top and the place around it has so many shops. It's like a fair.
The bodyguards come around and first Rajmata then Maharaj and Maharani and then us start walking the people are standing around looking at us.
We made our way towards the temple. We climb the stairs and went inside it. The Priest come and tilak Rehan than start doing pooja.
I also close my eyes praying.
Please god keep him safe.
After doing pooja we come outside.
" You all can look around for sometime then we will head back to the palace" Maharani said and left.
" Come lets look around" Lavanya said excitedly as she looks around Bhabhi's expression is also quite same.
Maybe they have never see a fair. On the other hand I have saw it many times.
" Come Swadheenta" Lavanya said and we all went towards the fair. We all shop, look around then we come in to a scent shop.
The small bottles of scent are so pretty.
" See this Rajkumari" the shopkeeper lady showed the scent to Lavanya.
" Swadheenta see this" I was looking here and there " Where are you looking?" Lavanya asked.
" Where is Bhabhi?"
" There" Lavanya pointed towards a jewellery shop.
Seems like Bhaiya and Bhabhi is busy in romance as I see a jhumka in Bhaiya's hand.
I was busy in looking at them when someone grabbed my wrist and dragged me with him.
" Shehzaade"
" We didn't come here for shopping, let's go"
We were walking when Maharani come and we stops.
" Yuvraj, Rajkumari what did you shop?" Maharani asked smilingly, I was going to say nothing when Rehan beat me.
" Your daughter in law likes bangles so we are buying them" he said and I look beside us is a bangles shop.
" Out of everything you like glass bangles" Maharani asked chukling.
No Maharani I like diamond necklace, par Apka beta.
" Maharani" Rajmata called her and she went.
" I don't like glass bangles"
" Shut up" he said and picked up a random set of bangles and start making me wear them.
" I asked you not roam around the palace why you were roaming around..... " He continued saying to me.
" Shehzaade" he ignored me.
Thank you you're buying bangles for me but atleast make me wear the right colours.
Hoton pe mere dua ki tara
Tera hi naam zehnaseeb
Tumse hai sabhi aaghaz mere
Tuh hai anjaam zehhnaseeb
I look at him as he slide whatever bangle which is coming in his hold in my hand. The light breeze making my hair come on my face I side them and continue stare at him.
Humraza mere sab raaz mere tumse the tumse hain
Jeene ke sabi andaaz mere tumse the tumse hai
" Swadheenta" I heard someone called me and I snatch my hand from his.
" Did I interrupt something?" Bhabhi asked teasingly beside her Lavanya standing giving us teasing looks.
" Nothing" Rehan said.
We go and sit back on the car. I look outside the window and my eyes widened as I see the sand outside.
" Stop the car" I said and the car stopped.
" Why?" Rehan asked irritatingly.
" Because I want to see the sand"
" What!"
" Yes" I open the door of car and got outside the car before he can say any further.
I look down the sand dune.
" Let's go back" Rehan said grabbing my wrist.
" No I want to see"
" What is there to see?" He asked pointing my his hand.
" I always want to see the sand, I want to know how it feels to roll in sand" he is looking like I have gone mad.
" Come " I grabbed his hand by my both hands pulling him with me.
I take steps ahead and the sand around my feet slips suddenly making me and Rehan both lost balance and we both fell down rolling on sand.
We stop with me on top on him.
" I hope now your dream came true" he said sarcastically his breath fell on the side of my face.
" Yes but I don't know my head will start spining after rolling"
" Get up"
" I'm give me some time I'm feeling uneasy" I whispered.
" Khabardar don't even think of doing puke on me" he warned.
I look up and cover my mouth with my hand and he closes his eyes I can't control more and burst into laughing.
I roll beside him still laughing.
" Hahaha very funny" he stand up and forward his hand towards me.
" What's the hurry let's enjoy this evening for sometime" I look at the moon sitting on the sand.
" With poisonous insects? No thank you" he said and turned back I also stand up when I hear poisonous insects.
I follow him back to the car and head back towards the palce. We reached the palace and entered inside.
It was fun.
" Yuvraj " I heard Rajmata's angry voice and saw everyone standing.
