SIYAASAT - Chapter 32: Chapter 32

Swadheenta
I roam my eyes around the elders are glaring at us and youngers are looking at us like they know what is going to happen.
" Rajmata.." Rehan started but Rajmata shows her palm.
" You know what happened days ago and you don't care about yourself "
" I do care"
" No you don't" Rajmata said loudly.
" How can be so careless Yuvraj? Attacks happened on you inside palace do you have any idea what can happen outside?" Rajmata scolds.
" I thought you're with us and when we reached here and come to know the car in which Yuvraj is, is missing. You have any idea how worried we are" Rajmata said.
" How can be you so careless? You were not before" Maharaj asked angrily and Rehan just looked down.
I bite my lip to control myself from laughing. No matter who you are whether normal person or Prince if you come home late you're going to get scolding.
A giggle escaped my mouth and I bite inside of cheek and keep my head down. I look up and found Rehan glaring at me.
Damn why my laugh didn't control in this type of situation.
" Sangat ka asar hai" I heard Rajmata's taunt and look up at her, she is glaring at me.
" Make sure nothing happened like this next time" Maharaj ordered and Rehan nodded.
We all went to our room.
Rehan went inside first and I followed him. He is looking down no he is glaring at floor.
I went inside the washroom and changed into blue colour night gown and come out I picked up the moisture bottle applying it on my arms when I saw his back on mirror reflection he is still standing there.
I walk towards him and stand infront of him.
" Shehzaade?"  I asked raising my both eyebrows, he look up at glared at me.
" What happened?"
" What happened!" He said taking a step forward.
" I got scold because of you"
" Yeah I saw that" I chukled sitting on bed.
I picked up the quilt to cover myself but Rehan gripped it from end.
" What?"
" I got scold because of you"
" Yeah I listened it in first time " I tried to pull the quilt but he is still gripping it.
" What! Look Rehan I'm tired ok I'm feeling sleepy and why are you making so much big issue out of it. It's like you got scold for the first time" I said as a matter of fact and look at him for reaction.
" Wait, really you never got scold" I asked in suprised when I didn't see any reaction and he nodded.
" Never?" He nodded.
" Wah Shehzaade you never got scold in your life and here I'm meri adhi zindagi daat sunte sunte nikli hai ' suraj sar par aa gaya hai maharani abhi tak uthi nai' ' adhi duniya so gayi hai abhi tak inka phone band nahi hua" I mimicked my mother how she used to say.
Ohh how much I'm missing everyone.
" You know how many times I put blame on my brother and he got scolded by Ma" I giggled and lean forward to grab his hand pulling him on bed.
He also sat on bed on his side and we sit face to face.
" Your mother?" He asked.
" Yup"
" You have family?.. I'm mean they were not there in marriage" he asked.
" It's because they don't know about my marriage and yes I have family"
" Still don't?" I nodded.
" Why?"
I tell him how everything happen how much it take me to convinced Bhai and he put the condition that we don't tell about marriage to everyone because he thought Rehan was fraud and have some motive behind marriage.
" But I'll tell everyone when we went to Delhi for Bhai and Kirti's marriage" I said happily.
Quite excited for their marriage.
" Your Bhai is more intelligent than you" he said raising an eyebrow, I narrowed my eyes at him.
" He was also wrong ok he thought you weren't a prince but see you are a real prince"
" Why are you so obsessed with prince? I mean what happened if you never met a prince than won't you married a normal person?" I feel myself getting angry because this is what everyone said to me till now.
" Yes I won't" I said and laid down on my side pulling the quilt up turning off the lights.

Next day
Afternoon
Socha tumara bhi dil hum karide
Kya daam hai bolo khato raside
I'm sitting in the middle of bed which my lehenga spread around making a video.
Phir tumse karva le jaise bhi chahe
Najre tumhari meri hazri pe
My gaze fell on Rehan who is sitting on floor leaning against the bed, elbow resting on top of knee and playing with his dagger.
What's wrong with him? Before whenever he sees me wearing ghungroo or dancing he always stops me and now I'm making video wearing ghungroo he have no problem.
Maybe he has problem with my dance.
Hey, I don't dance that bad that he has problem.
I stop the music and toss the phone aside laying down on my stomach resting my face on my hand.
" Shehzaade" I called him softly, he didn't replied me but he stops twirling the dagger.
" What happened?" I asked him as I look at BLESSED which is written on the side of his neck. I raise my hand to touch the tattoo but stops myself.
" Are you still upset that Rajmata scold you if you want I'll go and tell her that it was my fault"
I'm so close to him that I can smell his cologne I close my eyes and takes a long sniff.
Is he applied wild stone?
Mehka diya jo tune yeh sama.
Concentrate Swadheenta.
I get down from and goes to crouch down infront of him and snatch the dagger from his hand.
" You shouldn't play with it you can get hurt"
Again no response he turns his gaze to other side.
" What happened? Why are you sitting so quietly?"
I sit properly with crossed legs.
" If you're upset about your coronation if this works I'll go and say that I don't want to become Maharani you alone can take the place" just as I finished he immediately look at me.
" What did you said?"
" I said I don't want to become Maharani" he looked at me shocked and raise his hand I follow his hand by my gaze and it stops on my forehead.
" You are fine?" He asked.
" Offcourse I'm fine" I remove his hand from my forehead.
" Then why will someone denies be to become Maharani unless she is...."
" She is?"
" Pagal"
" Rehan" I shouted.
" Why you don't want to become Maharani?"
" Because I have what I asked for all my life I wanted to be a Princess and now I'm I don't want anything else, I'm happy and you should happy too. Whatever I have now you have this from childhood and it's nice that Maharaj is not doing your coronation being Yuvraj several attacks happened on you just because you're next line king think what will happen if you become king"
" Or vaise bhi aisa kya hai Maharaj banne me?" I shrugged.
" Bohot kuch" he said seriously get up and gripped my hand making me get up and dragging me with himself.
" Where are you taking me?" I asked as I look around the corridor I didn't came before.
He open some door and we get inside the it was dark inside and we start climbing the stairs. My ghunghroo makes loud sounds as we climb the stairs I know I shouldn't get afraid because I'm wearing them but the sounds is giving me creepy vibes.
It means we are going to fourth floor.
" Are you taking me to the fourth floor I don't want to go. First floor have the spirit of Maharani, Maharaj spirit must be in this floor" he didn't listen to me.
He open the door and we move ahead and I keep looking at the beauty around.  We move ahead and I look at the huge potrait which is hanging on the wall.
" They are my ancestors" he said and we stopped.
I go close to the wall to look at the potrait and saw the name written down. It was like family tree.
My gaze stuck on a potrait in which a lady wearing a lehenga standing. I have seen her somewhere but where?
I feel his presence behind me.
" Maharani Vasundhara Pratap Singh" he said.
" Rajmata" he said and I look at him then back at potrait then again at him raising my eyebrow, he nodded.
" Kya mast dikhti thi yeh apne jamne me"
" Then his son Maharaj Veer Pratap Singh" he said walking forward to next portrait beside his another potrait is hanging.
" Maharani Meenavati Pratap Singh"
I look at the potrait of my Sasuma she is also looking beautiful.
" And then there Son Rehan Pratap Singh" he said proudly as we stand in front of his huge potrait. Beside his, it was Nilay's potrait.
I cross my arms across my chest and look at him.
" What?"
" Where is Swadheenta Pratap Singh potrait?" He chuckled.
" But you said you don't want to become Maharani" he said grabbing my hand pulling me again.
" But I want my potrait..." I was saying but I forgot what I was saying when I see the place down from balcony.
" What is this?"
" Madhavgarh ka Singhashan"
" Can we look at this from down" I asked looking at him too excited to see this from front.
" No "
" Why?" I frowns.
" Because it's forbidden the Singhashan is only for the king and queen"
" We are the future King and queen so we have the right" I grabbed his hand and this time I dragged him with me towards the downstairs.
I gasped seeing it what is front of me. I don't think there is any word which can describe how beautiful it is!
" When I was younger I saw my Maharaj sitting on it and Rajmata saw me staring at that she said one day I'll sit on it" I look at Rehan as he spoke unblinking looking at the Singhashan with intensity.
" God Rehan you have lust in your eyes" he look at me knitted his eyebrows.
I takes steps ahead towards the throne when he holds my wrist stopping me.
" Now what?"
" You shouldn't have go there" I ignored him and remove his hand from my wrist and goes close to the throne.
It's looks more beautiful from close. I climb up the stairs and raise my hand to touch it.
Should I?
I move closer and touch the throne and lightly trace it. I spun around and hurriedly went towards Rehan and grabbed his hand and drag him with me.
" Maharaj your Singhashan" I said looking at him.
" I can't sit on it" he shook his head.
" Aree yr kuch nahi hoga"
He look at the throne before placing his hand on it tracing it then turned and sit on it.
" How does it feels Maharaj?" I asked as I saw the huge grin on his face.
" Amazing Maharani"
" Then shift and let me sit as well" I said and he shifted to side making space for me. I also sit beside him and I swear I can't tell what I'm feeling right now.
We both look at eachother and smiled.
" Soon this place is full of peoples and we will be crowned as Maharaj and Maharani " He said looking ahead.
I don't know about future but I'm enjoying this moment.
I picked my phone and take some selfies capturing the moment Rehan also looks at me and we clicked some selfies.
" What are you thinking?" He asked as I stare at the huge area infront of us.
" I always want to dance in place like that like Manjulika did in bhool bhulaiya" I said excitedly to him and his smile fell.
" You are going to be a Queen" he said.
" So what Rehan no one is going to see this please let me complete my fantasy" I get down from throne.
" No Swadheenta" he said.
" You sit here and enjoy" I said and turned climbing down standing in the middle.
" Rehan where are you looking at?" I yell at him when I saw him looking somewhere.
" Their is someone" he replied still looking there.
" You don't try to make me scared"
I turn the song on and start my dance.
Meri chahte to fiza mein bahengi
Zinda rahengi hoke fana
I move my hand in wave motion.
Mere kesuo ki saaye mein
Teri raahton ki khushboo hai
Tere begair kya jeena
Mere rom rom mein tu hai
I start twirling the sounds of my ghunghroo echo around the room so loudly. I stops as the song stops.
" I don't know you dance that good" he said coming towards me.
" Zarra namwaji hai apki"  he chuckled hearing me and walk past me.
" Hey where are you going without giving me reward?" I follow him.
" Reward?"
" Yes reward like kings gave there necklace saying hum apke hunar se khush hue"  we entered the staircase climbing down.
" You didn't dance that well"
" Kitne bure ho tum" we come to our floor.
" Now you understand what's in that throne?" He asked me as we walk side by side to our room.
" Yes it's nice but not that much to put your life in danger anyways I was more interested in huge pool in which king and queens bath, where is that?"
" Next to our room"
" Really?"
" Yes"
^^^^^^^^^^^
Rehan Pratap Singh.
" Then why don't you tell me before" I heard her saying before she runs off to the direction of our room, I chukled.
I don't understand her she wants to be princess but not queen.
I made my way towards the hathiyaar greh. I picked up the sword tracing the sharp side of it by my finger.
I want to become the king but I know it's difficult to convince Rajmata but once she got convinced no one will question her decision.
But Swadheenta has to convince her.
" Bhai" I heard the someone called me as saw Nilay standing infront of me.
" Kaise hai aap?" He asked.
" Hum thik hai, aap kaise hai?" He smiled.
" You only look at the sharpness of sword or test it as well" he said and I understand his words.
" Why not" I pulled the sword infornt of me and he also grab the sword from wall.
Our swords clash together.
" You learnt well" I compliment him.
" I'm not younger anymore " he said attacking me and I defend myself.
" But like childhood I'm going to win this time too" I smriked at him.
" What do you think that you'll win always" he spat like venom, I knitted my eyebrows.
" Rajgarh ki Rajkumari bohot khubsurat hai" I clehched my jaw hearing him.
"Nachti bhi bohot accha hai" I attacked him and he defended.
" How will Maharaj react after knowing about this that the queen his son choose for himself can dance like courtesan"  I saw red as he uttered such words.
" Nilay" I growled attacking him.
The match turned into a war. We attack on each other like we are enemies.
How dare he uttered such words for Swadheenta!
I kicked on his knee and he fell on the floor I place the sword on his neck. The sharp side pierce the skin of his neck.
" Thank god, that you're my brother or else you'll not able to breathe the next moment" I drop the sword and walk out from the room.
I entered the room and pour myself a glass of wine to calm the down the raging storm inside me.
I sat down on the couch leaning against it closing my eyes, massaging my temples. When I heard the sounds of anklets and open my eyes.
My eyes darkened as I look at her appearence. She wearing a white dress which ends on her mid thighs giving clear view of her legs. The blood lust changed into lust as I saw her.
Her dress is off shoulder giving clear view of her collar bone and shoulders. I lick my lips as I stare at her cleavage.
My gaze move upwards towards her pink full lips how it would feel wrapped around mine.....
My blood turned hot at the thought and I gritted my teeth as my grip on glass tightened. She is smiling closing her eyes playing with my already thinning control.
She bites on he lower lip and my control snapped.
